Gordon Hayward

SG/SF, Boston Celtics

Gordon Hayward remains unlikely to return for the postseason.

Hayward makes some waves whenever more updates go up on his blog or The Players' Tribune but the Celtics remain insistent that he's not coming back. He fractured his tibia and dislocated his left ankle five minutes into the season opener and was never expected to return this season. He'll need to slot into a deep Celtics rotation on the wings but Boston will have a whole offseason to iron those details out.

Aaron Gordon

PF, Orlando Magic

Aaron Gordon notched 21 points (9-for-15 shooting), six rebounds, four assists and two triples in Wednesday's loss to the Rockets.

Gordon had a nice showing offensively, though the lack of defensive numbers is annoying. It will be tough for him to return his draft day price on the season, but he should improve on what he's done so far this year.

Terrence Ross

SG, Orlando Magic

Terrence Ross played 27 minutes off the bench on Wednesday night, scoring 13 points (4-for-10 shooting), two assists, two triples, two blocks, a steal and a rebound.

The minutes were a team-high off the bench for the Magic, as Ross seems to be settling into a sixth-man role that is offering him plenty of opportunities to hoist shots and be an option as a points and threes streamer. There will be rough shooting nights mixed in so be prepared for that as well.

De'Aaron Fox

PG, Sacramento Kings

De'Aaron Fox (ankle) said that he's targeting a return, either vs. the Hornets or against the Grizzlies, adding that he worked out hard on Thursday and is not experiencing any pain.

This is amazing news for Fox owners for sure. He's going to eased in slowly but should be able to return at least mid-round value once he's back to or closer to 100 percent.

Dennis Smith Jr.

PG, New York Knicks

Dennis Smith Jr. (illness) is available to play for the Knicks on Friday.

His availability throws a monkey wrench into the already-chaotic game of tug-of-war between Frank Ntilikina and Elfrid Payton. That said, we maintain that Payton remains the guard to own amid the Knicks' glut of low-end PGs.

Cory Joseph

PG, Sacramento Kings

Cory Joseph (lower back soreness) will start for the Kings on Friday.

Joseph has been a marginal deep-league play as of late but has been worth a streamer for assists while De'Aaron Fox remains sidelined.

Jeff Teague

PG, Minnesota Timberwolves

Jeff Teague (left ankle soreness) will be available for the Wolves on Friday.

Teague has been able to adjust reasonably well to his reserve role for the Wolves and has managed to maintain relevance in standard leagues. He's a hold for now.

Keita Bates-Diop

SF, Minnesota Timberwolves

Keita Bates-Diop (illness) is available to play on Friday for the Wolves.

KBD missed one game with flu-like symptoms but it appears that he's been cleared to play. He's just a deep-league guy when he's healthy and should take up some of Josh Okogie's minutes tonight.

Delon Wright

PG, Dallas Mavericks

Delon Wright (right adductor strain) is questionable for Saturday's game vs. the Heat.

Wright has been a drop in standard leagues and his injury has made him a tough hold even in 18-team leagues.

Isaiah Thomas

PG, Washington Wizards

Isaiah Thomas (left calf strain) is questionable to play in Saturday's game vs. the Grizzlies.

Thomas has been out for a week and change with this injury. During that time, Ish Smith has produced serviceable standard-league value. There should be a timeshare situation brewing between these two guards moving forward – curtailing both their upsides.

Fred VanVleet

PG, Toronto Raptors

The Raptors are listing Fred VanVleet (right knee contusion) as doubtful for Saturday's game.

This is an update to a previous blurb having him as a game-time decision. Still consider him as up in the air and stay tuned for more updates closer to tip off.
