San Antonio Spurs forward Cedi Osman (ankle) has been ruled out for Saturday's contest against the Warriors. He sprained his left ankle against the Kings on Thursday and takes a seat in street clothes for the first time this season. Osman's fantasy appeal has been at a minimum in his first year in Texas, as he's averaging 6.7 points, 2.5 rebounds, and 1.7 assists in 17.4 minutes. The second unit should be able to fill in for him by committee. Osman's first chance to return comes on Monday in a rematch with Golden State.

San Antonio Spurs forward/center Victor Wembanyama (ankle) will sit out a second consecutive contest on Saturday against Golden State. He exited the lineup on Thursday prior to a meeting with Sacramento due to a right ankle sprain, which brought an end to Wembenyama's run of 21 consecutive appearances. Zach Collins slotted into the starting unit to replace the rookie phenom. Collins had a great game with 22 points, seven rebounds, and four assists. He started alongside Wembenyama early in the season and has posted 14.6 points, 6.0 rebounds, and 3.8 assists across the campaign as a member of the first unit.


Boston Celtics forward Jayson Tatum (ankle) has been listed as probable for Saturday's big matchup against Phoenix. He's on the injury report with right ankle impingement. Tatum should be able to shake off the probable tag before the game. He's had a couple of poor shooting nights on the bounce and must be eager to get going again this weekend. Strangely, Tatum has boosted his three-point percentage by nearly 10 percent to 45.3 since the All-Star break, but he's averaging fewer points. A meeting against a side that's allowing the 10th-most three-point attempts in the league looks like a good spot to kick back into gear.


Boston Celtics guard/forward Jaylen Brown (pelvis) is on the injury report as questionable ahead of Saturday's fascinating matchup against Phoenix. The Boston star is dealing with a sacroiliac strain, putting him in danger of missing his sixth game of the season. However, Brown was also questionable to face Denver on Thursday night and was completely fine for the contest, logging 41 minutes and posting new season-highs in points (41) and rebounds (14). It looks like he will likely be good to go on Saturday, with Boston desperate to bounce back from two consecutive losses.


Detroit Pistons guard/forward Quentin Grimes (knee) appears unlikely to play in Saturday's matchup against Dallas, as the team has listed him as doubtful on the injury report. The former Knick has arrived from New York with a knee issue and hasn't been able to play for the last three games due to right knee injury management. The trio of Marcus Sasser, Evan Fournier, and Simone Fontecchio benefits from Grimes' absence, with the latter the strongest fantasy option. However, even Fontecchio couldn't get anything going offensively against Brooklyn in the last game.
