• Shaun Livingston - G - Golden State Warriors

  Shaun Livingston (rest) will not play on Saturday.

  Livingston and Andrew Bogut will get the night off. Their absences don't mean much for fantasy owners, but it does make Quinn Cook a viable DFS punt if you're feeling lucky. Andre Iguodala is on the board as well with some minutes at point guard headed his way.

• Joakim Noah - C - Memphis Grizzlies

  Joakim Noah (right knee soreness) is available for Saturday's game against the Wolves.

  Noah sat out on Friday night but it looks to be more of a rest day on a back-to-back than a serious injury issue. He's good to roll out there for rebounds and low-end lines if you'd normally plug him into lineups.

• Taj Gibson - F - Minnesota Timberwolves

  Taj Gibson (left calf strain) has been ruled out of Saturday's game against the Grizzlies.

  Gibson's second straight absence opens up more time for Gorgui Dieng, Anthony Tolliver and Keita Bates-Diop, though there isn't much there for most fantasy owners. Dieng has the highest upside of the bunch but it would take some consistent playing time before he becomes a serious add consideration.

• Zach LaVine - G - Chicago Bulls

  Zach LaVine (right thigh contusion) will determine his status for Saturday's game after going through pregame warmups.

  LaVine was a late scratch on Wednesday and it looks as though fantasy owners will need to sit tight before making a call on him tonight as well. Antonio Blakeney started on Wednesday with Shaq Harrison, Wayne Selden and Ryan Arcidiacono filling in the gaps off the bench. Harrison's a steals specialist to put him a notch above the rest, but it's a weak group in terms of fantasy value.

• Kris Dunn - G - Chicago Bulls

  Kris Dunn (back) is now probable fro Saturday's matchup with the Jazz.

  Dunn is coming off a big game on Wednesday with 26 points and 13 dimes, so it's good to see that his back issue isn't serious. He's fairly safe to pencil into lineups tonight.

• Wendell Carter Jr. - C/F - Chicago Bulls

  Wendell Carter Jr. (left thumb surgery) will not return this season.

  This was expected when Carter's surgery was first announced, and now the team has made it official. He remains an excellent player for dynasty and keeper formats, and should be Chicago's defensive anchor for years to come.

• Chandler Hutchison - F - Chicago Bulls

  Chandler Hutchison (right foot sesamoid bone injury) will not play again this season.

  Hutchison was hopeful to return before the end of the year and was able to go through some light, non-contact practice sessions, but the Bulls will make the smart decision and let the rookie heal fully for next season.

• Otto Porter Jr. - F - Chicago Bulls

  Otto Porter (right rotator cuff strain) will not play on Saturday against the Jazz.

  Porter was initially doubtful, so this isn't surprising. He would like to return this season but we could be looking at a shutdown situation, so holding on is a tough call at this point. Antonio Blakeney, Wayne Selden and Shaq Harrison will all be looking at extra run off the bench, with Harrison's ability to rack up steals making him the most useful fantasy asset.
