Donovan Mitchell

SG, Utah Jazz

Donovan Mitchell scored 21 points on 10-of-15 shooting with a 3-pointer, three rebounds, four assists and two steals on Sunday.

Mitchell's swagger has only grown as the season progressed and there's going to be a heated debate among who is more deserving of Rookie of the Year between him and Ben Simmons, but there's no denying either of their talents. He's taken control of the Jazz offense and is the best isolation scorer on the team which is a void that needed to be filled after Gordon Hayward's departure. The Jazz struck gold on draft day and looks like their transition into the Mitchell era is going to be quicker than expected. Dynasty league owners should be thrilled if they managed to swoop him.

Mitchell Robinson

C, New York Knicks

Adrian Wojnarowski of ESPN is reporting that head coach David Fizdale has been fired by the New York Knicks.

So ends a brutal run for David Fizdale, going 21-83 over the course of two seasons. You can't really blame him for this team's failure though. Fantasy wise, the Knicks have been getting blown out rapidly of late. Keeping the games semi-competitive should give the starters more consistent minutes. This could be good news for youngsters like Mitchell Robinson, Frank Ntilikina, Kevin Knox, as the focus could shift to youth development under a new head coach. Under James Dolan's watch anything can happen though, it is hard to expect any major fantasy prospect to emerge from the shakeup.

Marvin Bagley III

PF, Sacramento Kings

Marvin Bagley (right thumb fracture) is out for Friday's tilt with the Spurs.

Bagley is homing in on a return, but is not there quite yet. When he does Nemanja Bjeclia will take a big hit, and Richaun Holmes will be impacted to a degree.

Mike Conley

PG, Utah Jazz

Mike Conley (hamstring) went through portions of practice on Friday.

He missed the Jazz's game vs. the Lakers on Wednesday but it looks like he's making progress and could return for their game vs. the Grizzlies tomorrow. If not, Joe Ingles will likely continue to start in his place.

Ian Mahinmi

C, Washington Wizards

Ian Mahinmi (rest) will not suit up for Friday's matchup vs. the Heat.

It's the second night of a back-to-back for the Wizards and Mahinmi is just returning from a strained achilles injured that kept him out since early October. They're going to be cautious with him due to their lack of depth at center and he could eventually end up serving a nice role for the Wizards this season.

Markieff Morris

PF, Detroit Pistons

Markieff Morris (neck strain) is being considered questionable heading into Friday's matchup vs. the Pacers.

He jammed his neck earlier this week but was able to return after coming back from the locker room. He played 15 minutes in Wednesday's game vs. the Bucks but wasn't very productive and even if he does suit up on Friday he shouldn't be in anyone's lineups.

Isaiah Thomas

PG, Washington Wizards

Isaiah Thomas (left calf strain) has been ruled out on Friday vs. the Heat.

This will be his second straight absence as he missed Thursday's game as well. Before injuring his calf, Thomas was coming off of a 20 point, five rebounds, seven assist, two triples and one block outing and may have been starting to turn things around. Hopefully this calf strain doesn't keep him out long but while it does expect Ish Smith to continue to soak up minutes.

Dwight Powell

PF, Dallas Mavericks

Dwight Powell (arm contusion) will suit up for Saturday's matchup vs. the Pelicans.

Powell was seen with a black sleeve on his arm but he said that he'll be able to play on Saturday. He's a top-110 guy over the past week and surely starting to make his way back to fantasy relevance. He's a strong hold in most leagues.

LaMarcus Aldridge

PF, San Antonio Spurs

LaMarcus Aldridge (sore thigh) will be available to play vs. the Kings on Friday.

He'll return after missing his last two matchups and both Jakob Poeltl and Trey Lyles will go back to seeing reduced roles. Feel free to fire Aldridge up in all lineups once again.

Thaddeus Young

PF, Chicago Bulls

Thaddeus Young (personal) has been ruled out on Friday vs. the Warriors.

He's likely to only miss this game as he's set to meet with the Bulls in Miami for their matchup with the Heat on Sunday. The Bulls are already short-handed with Otto Porter Jr. also continuing to miss time, but good thing they're playing the Warriors where that shouldn't matter.

Otto Porter Jr.

SF, Chicago Bulls

Otto Porter (left foot bone edema) underwent a repeat MRI on his left foot and will be re-evaluated in two weeks.

Porter has already missed nearly a month and now two more weeks will be added onto that. He'll be immobilized for a "brief" period of time before resuming non-contact work and therapy. It looks like Porter might not be back until very close, or maybe even after, the new year.
