Ryan Rollins Available Against Grizzlies

Milwaukee Bucks guard Ryan Rollins (hip) will suit up on Sunday against the Memphis Grizzlies. Rollins has played in only one of the last four games, but he is available on Sunday after shaking off a questionable tag. With several big guns out of the lineup, Rollins has taken on a larger role late in the season, averaging 22.2 points, 5.2 rebounds, 6.2 assists, and 1.8 steals across his last five outings. Memphis sits 23rd in defensive efficiency, making Sunday's game a superb fantasy matchup for Rollins. Pete Nance will give up his starting spot to Rollins.

Matas Buzelis Out Sunday, Leonard Miller Joins Starting Lineup

Chicago Bulls forward Matas Buzelis (illness) won't play on Sunday against the Phoenix Suns. The 21-year-old has been ruled out due to illness. With Josh Giddey (hamstring) also sidelined, the Bulls will have two new starters on Sunday. Collin Sexton will join Tre Jones in the backcourt, while Leonard Miller will be Buzelis' replacement. Miller has been one of Chicago's best players in recent weeks, and a starting role will further elevate his fantasy value. In seven starts, Miller has posted averages of 11.7 points and 7.4 rebounds per game.

Nikola Vučević • C • Celtics

Nikola Vucevic Back in Action Sunday

Boston Celtics center Nikola Vucevic (finger) will end a month-long absence on Sunday against the Toronto Raptors. The veteran big man has recovered from a fractured finger and is listed as available after initially having a questionable tag on the injury report. Vucevic has been Neemias Queta's backup in Boston, but he has still delivered decent production. In 12 appearances with the Celtics, Vucevic has averaged 10.4 points and 7.2 rebounds in 21.7 minutes per game. Queta and Vucevic face a tough matchup on Sunday, with Jakob Poeltl healthy and playing well for the Raptors in the middle.

Josh Giddey Won't Play Against Suns

Chicago Bulls guard Josh Giddey (hamstring) will miss Sunday's contest against the Phoenix Suns. He has managed a hamstring injury for several weeks and will be absent for the second time in three games. Meanwhile, Collin Sexton (finger) has been cleared to play and will be one of the players benefiting from Giddey's absence. Tre Jones and Rob Dillingham are also expected to pick up extra work in the backcourt. Sexton, who led the team with 19 points in Friday's defeat to New York, figures to form the starting backcourt with Jones on Sunday.

Trey Murphy III Out Sunday

New Orleans Pelicans guard/forward Trey Murphy III (ankle) will sit out Sunday's contest against the Orlando Magic. He has been ruled out due to an ankle sprain after initially being listed as questionable. With Dejounte Murray (hand) also unavailable, Yves Missi, Jeremiah Fears, and Micah Peavy could all enjoy bigger roles in this game. Missi stepped into the starting lineup for Murray on Friday against the Kings, and Fears could find himself joining him in the first unit on Sunday.

Dejounte Murray Misses Second Straight Game

New Orleans Pelicans guard Dejounte Murray (hand) will miss Sunday's matchup with the Orlando Magic. He's nursing a left-hand contusion and won't be part of the action for a second consecutive game. Jeremiah Fears had an expanded role without Murray on Friday against Sacramento and looks set for an increased workload again. In Friday's game, Fears produced one of his best performances of the season, finishing with a team-high 28 points, eight rebounds, and six assists. Yves Missi took Murray's spot in the starting lineup but had a relatively quiet outing with six points, seven rebounds, and two assists.

Anthony Edwards Won't Play Sunday

Minnesota Timberwolves guard/forward Anthony Edwards (knee) has been ruled out for Sunday's game against the Charlotte Hornets. He's bothered by a right knee issue and will sit out for the eighth time in 10 games. Mike Conley will likely remain in the starting lineup as Edwards' replacement. However, the veteran has been limited to 5.5 points, 4.0 assists, and 2.0 rebounds per game across his last four appearances as a member of the first unit. Ayo Dosunmu and Bones Hyland also have more importance without Edwards.

Isaiah Collier • PG • Jazz

Isaiah Collier Out Again Sunday

Utah Jazz guard Isaiah Collier (hamstring) will not play Sunday against Oklahoma City, marking his 10th consecutive absence. With Keyonte George (hamstring) and Elijah Harkless (hamstring) also out, Utah should continue leaning on Kennedy Chandler and Cody Williams for expanded roles. Williams is coming off a 27-point, 11-rebound, four-assist performance in 38 minutes and looks like the most appealing fantasy option from this group. Chandler and Bez Mbeng offer limited upside as deep-league assist streamers, though both carry risk due to inconsistent offensive production while the Jazz remain short-handed in the backcourt.

Immanuel Quickley • PG • Raptors

Immanuel Quickley Still Sidelined Sunday

Toronto Raptors guard Immanuel Quickley (foot) will miss another game Sunday against the Boston Celtics as he continues to recover from plantar fasciitis. Ja'Kobe Walter should remain in the starting lineup after posting seven points, eight rebounds, one assist, and two steals in 28 minutes in his last game, though his fantasy value remains limited to deeper formats. Jamal Shead has also stepped into a larger role, finishing with 11 points, six assists, and two steals in 23 minutes and offering streaming appeal for assists and steals. Scottie Barnes should continue handling more on-ball duties while Quickley remains sidelined.

Nicolas Claxton • C • Nets

Nicolas Claxton Won't Play Sunday

Brooklyn Nets center Nicolas Claxton (hand) will not play Sunday against Washington due to soreness in his right hand. His absence should open additional frontcourt minutes for Josh Minott and Chaney Johnson. Minott has scored 10 points with two three-pointers, three rebounds, and one steal in 21 minutes in his last appearance and could be a deep-league option for scoring and threes. Johnson added 11 points, six rebounds, four assists, one steal, and one block in 23 minutes and may offer deeper streaming appeal. E.J. Liddell remains a risky dart throw if he cracks the rotation.

Evan Mobley • PF • Cavaliers

Evan Mobley Sidelined Sunday

Cleveland Cavaliers forward/center Evan Mobley (calf) will not play Sunday against Indiana as the team manages his workload on a back-to-back. With Jarrett Allen (knee) and Dean Wade (ankle) also out, Cleveland could lean on Keon Ellis, Larry Nance Jr., and Nae'Qwan Tomlin for extra frontcourt minutes. Ellis logged four points, three rebounds, two assists, and one steal in 22 minutes in his last game and could be a deep-league option if the Cavaliers downsize. Nance and Tomlin remain speculative rebound streamers, while Thomas Bryant should continue seeing stable minutes with Cleveland short-handed inside.

Jarrett Allen Won't Play Against Indiana

Cleveland Cavaliers center Jarrett Allen (knee) will not play Sunday against Indiana as part of injury management on the first night of a back-to-back. With Evan Mobley (calf) also sidelined, Thomas Bryant is positioned for a larger workload after posting 14 points, three three-pointers, six rebounds, and one block in 25 minutes in a recent appearance. Larry Nance Jr. and Nae'Qwan Tomlin could also see expanded minutes, though both remain risky deep-league options. Bryant profiles as the best short-term streaming target for rebounds and scoring with Cleveland thin in the frontcourt.

Pascal Siakam • PF • Pacers

Pascal Siakam Ruled Out Sunday

Indiana Pacers forward/center Pascal Siakam (ankle) will not play Sunday against Cleveland after suffering an ankle injury in his last outing. His absence could move Obi Toppin into a larger role, with the athletic forward posting 11 points, three three-pointers, four rebounds, and one assist in 20 minutes off the bench in his last game. Kobe Brown also impressed with 12 points, nine rebounds, and four assists in 28 minutes and could remain fantasy relevant in deeper formats. If Jarace Walker (back) remains out, both Toppin and Brown become viable short-term streaming options.

Andrew Nembhard • PG • Pacers

Andrew Nembhard Ruled Out Vs. Cleveland

Indiana Pacers guard Andrew Nembhard (back) will not play Sunday against Cleveland as he continues to manage a lingering back issue. His absence should keep Quenton Jackson in a starting role after he produced 16 points, two three-pointers, three rebounds, five assists and one steal in 25 minutes during his last outing. Ethan Thompson logged 30 minutes off the bench and could remain in the rotation, while Taelon Peter offers deep-league streaming appeal for managers chasing three-pointers. With multiple Pacers guards sidelined, Jackson looks like the safest short-term assist streamer until Nembhard returns.

Anthony Edwards • SG • Timberwolves

Anthony Edwards Questionable for Sunday

Minnesota Timberwolves guard/forward Anthony Edwards (knee) is considered questionable for Sunday's meeting with the Charlotte Hornets. Edwards returned from a knee injury this week, appearing in two of three games, but he may now spend some more time on the sidelines. Since his return, Edwards has been dealing with some rust, averaging only 12.5 points on 40 percent efficiency from the field. Mike Conley has recently filled in for Edwards as a starter and may get another opportunity to do so on Sunday. But even in a starting role, the veteran hasn't produced much. Ayo Dosunmu and Bones Hyland are the players to target in fantasy if Edwards misses Sunday's game.

Kelly Oubre Jr., Andre Drummond Join Starting Lineup Saturday

Philadelphia 76ers guard/forward Kelly Oubre Jr. and center Andre Drummond have been named as starters for Saturday's matchup with the Detroit Pistons. While Drummond's move to the first unit was expected after Philadelphia ruled Joel Embiid (oblique, illness) out for the game, Oubre Jr.'s re-emergence as a starter is a bit surprising. He has come off the bench in four straight games. On Saturday, Oubre Jr. will replace Dominick Barlow in the starting lineup. Both Oubre Jr. and Drummond have more fantasy appeal as starters.

Marcus Sasser • PG • Pistons

Marcus Sasser Upgraded to Available

Detroit Pistons point guard Marcus Sasser (hip) will be active against the Philadelphia 76ers on Saturday night. The young guard has been upgraded from probable to available. Sasser will serve as the backup to Daniss Jenkins at the point guard position and is therefore not expected to make a major impact against Philadelphia. On Thursday night against Minnesota, Sasser was on the floor for only eight minutes, finishing with two points and one assist.

Tobias Harris • SF • Pistons

Tobias Harris Cleared to Play Saturday

Detroit Pistons forward Tobias Harris (knee) will be in the lineup on Saturday against the Philadelphia 76ers. The veteran couldn't finish Thursday's win over Minnesota due to a left knee injury and was initially listed as questionable for Saturday's tilt. Harris' offensive usage has recently increased due to Cade Cunningham's (lung) absence. Before his early exit on Thursday, Harris had a six-game stretch during which he averaged 15.2 points, 5.7 rebounds, and 5.0 assists. He will look to remain sharp on Saturday night against his former team.

Jalen Duren Available Saturday

Detroit Pistons center Jalen Duren (illness) has received the green light to play on Saturday against the Philadelphia 76ers. He was a late addition to the injury report due to illness, with the team tagging him as questionable. However, the star big man has shaken off the illness and could be set for a big night on Saturday, as Philadelphia won't have Joel Embiid (oblique, illness) in the lineup. Since the Pistons lost Cade Cunningham (lung), Duren has upped his production to 24.2 points and 11.0 rebounds per game.

Paul George • SF • 76ers

Paul George Ready to Rock Saturday

Philadelphia 76ers guard/forward Paul George (knee) will play on Saturday against the Detroit Pistons. He is ready to suit up for a second straight night after the team initially listed the injury-prone star as probable on the injury report. George delivered a strong two-way performance against Minnesota on Friday and has been turning heads since rejoining the 76ers' lineup. He has averaged 27.0 points, 6.8 rebounds, 4.0 assists, and 3.2 steals over the last five games. With Joel Embiid (oblique, illness) resting on Saturday, George will lead the Philadelphia offense alongside Tyrese Maxey.
