Milwaukee Bucks guard Damian Lillard (rib) is expected to suit up ahead of Friday's game against the Los Angeles Lakers. The superstar guard was listed as questionable coming into this game but appears to be trending in the right direction. It sounds like the organization plans to have Lillard go through his pregame warmup before making a final decision. If he sits, Patrick Beverley is expected to see an expanded role. Beverley would be an interesting streaming option if he moves into the starting five. Fantasy managers will have to check back ahead of tip-off for the final update on his status.


Milwaukee Bucks forward Giannis Antetokounmpo (Achilles) is expected to suit up ahead of Friday's game against the Los Angeles Lakers. The superstar forward was listed as probable coming into this game. It sounds like Antetokounmpo plans to go through his pregame routine before the team makes a final decision. Antetokounmpo has been dealing with a lingering Achilles issue for quite some time. However, he's usually able to play through the injury without any problems. If not, Patrick Beverley and Bobby Portis would see expanded roles. Fantasy managers will have to check back ahead of game-time for a final update.

Portland Trail Blazers forward Toumani Camara (hand) is available ahead of Friday's game against the Houston Rockets. He'll make his return to the court after sitting out Wednesday's game due to a right hand sprain. The expectation is that Camara will slide right into the starting five with Jerami Grant (hamstring) and Jabari Walker (hip) sitting this game out. Camara isn't a great streaming option, but does offer some value given the lack of depth on the Blazers roster right now.


Portland Trail Blazers forward Jabari Walker (hip) has been ruled out ahead of Friday's game against the Houston Rockets. This is bad timing with Jerami Grant (hamstring) and Deandre Ayton (hand) sidelined as well. The Blazers are going to be forced to rely on Toumani Camara and Duop Reath to play big minutes in the rotation. Both players could be viable streaming options given the Blazers' lack of depth. Hopefully, Walker can return after this game, but fantasy managers will have to check back for another update.


Portland Trail Blazers forward Jerami Grant (hamstring) has been ruled out ahead of Friday's game against the Houston Rockets. His return to the court was short-lived lived as he only lasted two games before ending up on the sideline again. The Blazers are shorthanded with both Jabari Walker (hip) and Deandre Ayton (hand) sidelined as well. That being said, Toumani Camara figures to play big minutes in the rotation. He's worth a look as a streaming option with the Blazers thin for Friday's game.
