Ryan Anderson

PF/C, Houston Rockets

Ryan Anderson is still listed as questionable heading into Sunday’s matchup with the Timberwolves.

Anderson has fallen out of the starting lineup for the Rockets after being a starter for all of last season and the majority of this year. The Rockets simply look better with the defensive prowess of P.J. Tucker in the lineup. Anderson will have a role at some point in the playoffs but the Rockets should be good in the first round with or without him.

DeAndre Jordan

C, Brooklyn Nets

DeAndre Jordan (dislocated right middle finger) will be re-evaluated next week.

It means he'll miss Saturday's game at least, though he won't need surgery here. Jarrett Allen and Nicolas Claxton should get the center minutes while Jordan's healing up, with Allen potentially hitting his tantalizing ceiling if DJ has to miss a handful of games. It doesn't sound like Jordan will miss too much time as of right now, so you can feel free to hold him if you're inclined to do so.

Rudy Gay

SF, San Antonio Spurs

Rudy Gay (assumed rest/illness) will not play on Friday night.

On the official injury report, the Spurs have simply listed Gay's illness/injury as a semi-colon, so we're going to take a stab at it and say he's either sick or getting the night off. Gay has been a late-round option this season and doesn't need to be rostered in 12-team leagues as the Spurs have dialed him back to just 22.5 mpg and his percentages have dipped.

Steven Adams

C, Oklahoma City Thunder

Steven Adams (right knee contusion) is questionable to play on Friday.

Adams wasn't present on OKC's injury report last night, but things have changed. He was set to be re-evaluated today so keep an eye out for updates. With Nerlens Noel also questionable, it could be Mike Muscala and Justin Patton as the only centers available tonight.

Kristaps Porzingis

PF-C, Dallas Mavericks

Kristaps Porzingis (right knee soreness) has been ruled out of Friday's game.

Porzingis was set to play on Wednesday but got ruled out after warmups, and him being ruled out so early in the day is a disheartening development. A supposedly minor issue has led to a multi-week absence for KP now, and fantasy GMs just have to sit tight in the meantime. Maxi Kleber will continue to have standard-league appeal while Porzingis is on the mend.

RJ Barrett

SF, New York Knicks

RJ Barrett (sprained right ankle) will miss at least the next week of action.

He'll be re-evaluated in a week, but at least X-rays came back negative after he was forced out of action last night. Damyean Dotson, Frank Ntilikina, and maybe even Wayne Ellington or Allonzo Trier could get into the mix a bit more. Barrett isn't someone you need to hold in redraft formats as his terrible percentages have already left him as someone to deploy in specific punt builds, with just moderate value even in those situations.

Tyler Herro

PG, Miami Heat

Tyler Herro (left knee bruise) was able to participate in Friday's shootaround and will go through pregame warmups to see if he can play against the Thunder.

Herro sat out Wednesday's game but there's at least a chance he returns tonight. If that happens it would mean a slight downgrade for Kendrick Nunn, Duncan Robinson and Goran Dragic.

Justise Winslow

SF, Miami Heat

Justise Winslow (back) will miss the next two weeks and then be re-evaluated.

If you're still holding onto Winslow in a league with fewer than 16 teams, you're probably some kind of saint, but also you can feel free to cut him now. Derrick Jones and James Johnson have recently snapped up rotation spots and should continue to get that opportunity going forward.

Karl-Anthony Towns

C, Minnesota Timberwolves

Karl Anthony Towns (left knee sprain, illness) is still being listed as questionable and will be a game-time decision for Friday's game versus Pacers.

This is a non-update and we won't dignify it with fresh analysis. You and us both will just have to check back in closer to game time to see if he returns tonight.

Bruno Caboclo

SF, Memphis Grizzlies

Bruno Caboclo has been diagnosed with a left knee bone bruise and will miss 4-6 weeks.

Caboclo likely helped some readers win championships last year with some eye-opening performances during the fantasy playoffs and it's looking like his next chance to contribute to fantasy teams will come smack dab in these year's fantasy playoffs. However. Caboclo's star has since fallen with the signing of Jonas Valanciunas and the dual emergence of Jaren Jackson Jr. and Brandon Clarke. While it's good that the former first-round project has carved out a spot in the pros, he's not worth monitoring in fantasy this season.

Edmond Sumner

PG, Indiana Pacers

The Pacers have assigned Edmund Sumner and Alize Johnson to the Fort Wayne Mad Ants and, as a result, neither player will be available to play on Friday night against the Wolves.

This is a procedural move. With the Pacers getting healthy they have no need for these two. Sumner is a player to monitor in the very deepest and/or dynasty leagues due to his intriguing steal rate, but otherwise there's nothing to see here.
