Portland Trail Blazers guard Malcolm Brogdon (knee) is listed as questionable heading into Friday's game against the San Antonio Spurs. Brogdon is a late addition to the injury report due to a right knee contusion. This is a shame considering is providing top-75 fantasy value in 9-cat leagues over the last two weeks. If he sits, Matisse Thybulle would likely move into the starting five. Anfernee Simons would probably shift to the point guard spot, while Scoot Henderson would have a bigger role as well.

Portland Trail Blazers guard Malcolm Brogdon (groin) is available ahead of Wednesday's game against the Brooklyn Nets. The veteran guard was uncertain coming into this game due to groin soreness. His presence is a welcoming sight for the Blazers as Brogdon has played a significant role lately with the team shorthanded. He's expected to come off the bench, but Brogdon should still be able to make a solid impact, so fantasy managers can get Brogdon into their lineups safely now.

According to ESPN's Adrian Wojnarowski, the Wizards acquired forward/center Marvin Bagley III, Isaiah Livers, and two second-round picks from Detroit. In exchange, the Pistons received Danilo Gallinari and Mike Muscala. The focal point of the deal centers around Bagley, the No. 2 overall pick of the 2018 NBA Draft. He spent just over three seasons in Sacramento to begin his career. Unfortunately, he wasn't a constant performer and was moved to Detroit during the 2021-22 campaign. Since then, his situation hasn't changed, considering he's had a tough time finding a routine spot in the rotation. But Bagley has potential, averaging 14.0 points and 5.6 rebounds in 10 starts with the Pistons this season. If he can get consistent minutes with the Wizards, the 24-year-old will see an uptick in fantasy interest. Still, his shooting percentages need work, so fantasy managers with room to spare shouldn't label him as anything more than a speculative roster addition.

Dallas Mavericks center Richaun Holmes (personal) is doubtful ahead of Sunday's matchup with the Minnesota Timberwolves. The 30-year-old has missed the last two games, so it appears he's moving toward another absence. That said, Holmes has rarely seen the floor this season, averaging 3.8 rebounds and 3.4 points in 10.6 minutes per contest. He could see more action on Sunday, if he plays, considering Dereck Lively II (ankle) is expected to miss another game. However, Dwight Powell should get the most minutes in the middle, although he likely won't offer fantasy managers anything outside of rebounds.

Dallas Mavericks guard Dante Exum (heel) and center Richaun Holmes (personal) have both been downgraded from doubtful to out on Friday. Given the doubtful tag, this isn't a surprise that they're not playing, but at least the team made it official with plenty of time before the game. This will be their second consecutive game missed, but Exum's absence will likely be felt more than Holmes' since he only sees 10.6 minutes a night. Exum has enjoyed a career resurgence of sorts but has come back to Earth a bit since Kyrie Irving returned. In place of Exum, Tim Hardaway Jr. and Seth Curry should see some extra minutes. With Holmes out and Dereck Lively II (ankle) questionable, Dwight Powell could see some heavy minutes at center.
