Detroit Pistons guard/forward Quentin Grimes (knee) won't play on Friday against the Heat. The former Knickerbocker continues to deal with right knee soreness, which has limited him to only two appearances this month. With Grimous out, extra backcourt minutes open up for rookie Marcus Sasser, and Evan Fournier could also get back to logging healthy minutes. Sasser might turn out to be a very popular fantasy play on Friday if Cade Cunningham (knee) also misses the game -- Detroit's head honcho has been listed as questionable for the matchup.

Phoenix Suns guard/forward Eric Gordon (knee) has been ruled out for Thursday's big matchup against Boston. The team downgraded the veteran sniper from questionable to out. Gordon will be out of the lineup for a second consecutive game. His absence opens up extra minutes for Grayson Allen and Royce O'Neale. Both players can provide plenty of value for fantasy managers, although the latter has struggled in recent games, including against Boston last Saturday.

Phoenix Suns guard Eric Gordon (knee) has popped up on the injury report ahead of their Thursday night game against the Boston Celtics. He's been listed as questionable, so he's in danger of missing his second consecutive game. The veteran combo guard has been a quality fantasy option whenever one of the "big three" is missing. Devin Booker isn't on the report anymore though, so Gordon's value might not be at the highest it could be if he does play. If he's sidelined, however, Grayson Allen and Royce O'Neale will step up as the most important role players. Both of them have fantasy relevance, especially in deeper leagues.

Los Angeles Clippers forward Paul George (knee) will play against Minnesota on Tuesday. He last played in Saturday's game against Chicago. The 33-year-old logged 40 minutes in that one, finishing with a team-high 22 points, nine assists, three blocks, and two steals. However, he sat out the following afternoon versus Milwaukee. George will be joined on the court by Kawhi Leonard (groin), who also missed Sunday's contest.

Los Angeles Clippers forward Paul George (knee) is questionable for Tuesday's matchup with Minnesota. He carried the same injury designation heading into Saturday's game against Chicago. Yet, the 33-year-old ended up logging 40 minutes in that one, finishing with a team-high 22 points with nine assists, three blocks, and two steals. However, he sat out the following afternoon versus Milwaukee, so his current issue may be a bigger problem than initially believed. Nevertheless, if George misses a second consecutive game, Amir Coffey, who had a double-double on Sunday, would see plenty of attention from DFS managers, especially if Kawhi Leonard (groin) is also ruled out.
