Harris' availability was initially uncertain for the contest after he suffered a head injury over the weekend against the Orlando Magic, and the team listed him as questionable on the injury report.

He took an elbow to the head in their last game against the Magic and has suffered some headaches since then. The good news is that he was available for shootaround on Monday morning, but there hasn't been an official decision on his status just yet. If he's unable to play, Tim Hardaway Jr. and Ausar Thompson should see added minutes while Malik Beasley likely joins the starting five. When Harris left against the Magic, Beasley played 30 minutes and posted 18 points, five rebounds, two assists, and one steal.

This is only the second game he's missed so far this season, and it doesn't seem like this is a long-term injury.

Holland received 21 minutes in their last game against the Celtics and posted 26 points, three rebounds, and one turnover off of the bench. So he could make a solid streaming option for the time being.

The veteran returns to the lineup after missing the previous game with a hip issue. Through 19 appearances, Harris has been limited to 13.8 points on 44.4 percent shooting this season, grabbing 7.2 rebounds. Harris' return means a bench role for Ausar Thompson, with Simone Fontecchio and Ronald Holland II also losing playing time.

Tobias Harris In Danger Of Missing First Game Of The Season

The veteran forward has been listed as questionable for the clash. Harris is among Detroit's leading rebounders, grabbing 7.2 boards per game, and has averaged 13.8 points in 33.2 minutes. With Cade Cunningham (hip) unlikely to return on Wednesday, there are going to be a lot of shots available for Jaden Ivey, Malik Beasley, and Tim Hardaway Jr. Simone Fontecchio, Ausar Thompson, and Ronald Holland II might receive more playing time due to Harris' absence. Thompson's versatility makes him the best fantasy option out of the three players.
Tobias Harris To Draw "Ample Interest" In Free Agency
According to NBA insider Chris Haynes, impending free agent forward Tobias Harris is expected to receive "ample interest" from teams this offseason. Haynes mentioned Utah, Detroit, San Antonio, Dallas, and New Orleans as the clubs with the strongest chance of landing the veteran, adding that he doesn't "see a scenario where Tobias is back in Philly." Harris, the No. 19 overall pick in the 2011 NBA Draft, has played for the Bucks, Magic, Pistons, Clippers, and most recently, the 76ers. He finished the 2023-24 campaign by averaging 17.2 points, 6.5 rebounds, and 1.0 steals. Despite being in the league for well over a decade, the 31-year-old could remain a starter for whatever team he lands on. While he's past his prime, he still has a lot to offer fantasy managers, even more so due to his durability.
