Norman Powell Set to Suit Up Friday
According to Joel Lorenzi of The Athletic, Chicago Bulls guard/forward Norman Powell (back) is available for Friday's matchup against the Atlanta Hawks and will not face a minutes restriction. Powell missed the last two games, first sitting out against Philadelphia with a shoulder issue before lower back spasms kept him sidelined Wednesday versus San Antonio. The 33-year-old is averaging 19.3 points and 1.6 steals in 28.8 minutes through eight appearances. With no restrictions on his workload, Powell can be plugged back into fantasy lineups for his scoring and steals.

Klay Thompson Sidelined on Friday
Miami Heat guard/forward Klay Thompson (ankle) will miss Friday's matchup against the Cleveland Cavaliers. Thompson tweaked his left ankle on a late chase-down block during Tuesday's win over Utah, finishing with 11 points on 3-for-13 shooting, including 2-for-10 from beyond the arc. The 36-year-old is averaging 14.4 points and 3.8 three-pointers in 24.8 minutes per game while shooting 40.8 percent from three-point range. With Thompson sitting out the first half of Miami's back-to-back, Andrew Wiggins and Tim Hardaway Jr. will likely see extended minutes, boosting their short-term fantasy appeal.

Dailyn Swain Listed as Questionable for Friday
Chicago Bulls forward Dailyn Swain (back) is questionable for Friday's matchup with the Atlanta Hawks due to right disc irritation. Swain was a late scratch Wednesday against San Antonio and also missed Sunday's loss to Philadelphia with the same issue. The 21-year-old has logged only two NBA appearances while spending part of his rookie season with the Windy City Bulls. Caleb Wilson's (hand) extended absence creates more opportunities in Chicago's rotation, but Matas Buzelis, Tre Jones, and Isaac Okoro are better positioned to benefit. Swain remains off the fantasy radar until he earns a steadier role.

Quinten Post Remains Out Friday Against Pelicans
Memphis Grizzlies center Quinten Post (concussion) will miss Friday's matchup with the New Orleans Pelicans as he remains in the league's concussion protocol. Post was injured Monday in Toronto after taking an elbow to the face and will now sit for a second straight game. The 26-year-old is averaging 5.0 points and 2.1 rebounds in a limited reserve role this season. With Zach Edey (ankle) also unavailable, Isaiah Stewart could move into the starting lineup, while Taylor Hendricks should have a better chance to pick up minutes behind him.

Precious Achiuwa Questionable Against Portland
Sacramento Kings forward/center Precious Achiuwa (ankle) is questionable for Friday's matchup with the Portland Trail Blazers due to left ankle soreness. Achiuwa left Tuesday's loss to Orlando after 14 minutes and did not return, though the team initially called the injury a lower-leg contusion. The 27-year-old had averaged 9.4 points, 7.0 rebounds, 1.5 blocks, and 1.1 steals across his previous eight starts. Another absence would likely put Keegan Murray back in the starting mix, with Dylan Cardwell also in position to soak up more minutes in the frontcourt.

T.J. McConnell Likely to Play Friday
Indiana Pacers guard T.J. McConnell (hamstring) is probable for Friday's NBA Cup matchup with the New York Knicks. The 34-year-old missed Indiana's first nine games with a right hamstring strain but has appeared in three straight since returning. McConnell logged a season-high 14 minutes Wednesday against Washington, finishing with seven points, three rebounds, seven assists, and one steal. With Tyrese Haliburton (hamstring) still sidelined, McConnell should continue to work behind Andrew Nembhard as his minutes gradually increase, which could make Quenton Jackson's reserve role a little more crowded.

Kingston Flemings Questionable vs Bulls
The Hawks are currently 7.5-point favorites in Chicago tonight... if you enjoy that sort of thing.

Norm Powell is questionable for the Bulls, with Caleb Wilson ruled out.
2nd NBA Cup game for both teams.
Tristan da Silva Questionable for Friday Against the Bucks
Orlando Magic forward Tristan da Silva (calf) is questionable for Friday's matchup with the Milwaukee Bucks and could miss a third straight game because of a left calf strain. The 25-year-old has been one of Orlando's better secondary scorers, averaging 15.1 points, 3.7 rebounds, and 3.6 threes in 30.6 minutes per game. With Paolo Banchero (ankle) still sidelined, da Silva would step back into a sizable role once cleared. If he remains out, Alex Morales should stay involved after filling in as a starter, while Jase Richardson and Goga Bitadze could continue seeing extra minutes.

Jamal Cain Questionable Against Bucks
Orlando Magic guard/forward Jamal Cain (shoulder) is questionable for Friday's matchup with the Milwaukee Bucks after missing Wednesday's game in Utah with a left shoulder contusion. Cain started Tuesday against Sacramento and finished with five points, three rebounds, one assist, and one steal in 20 minutes. With Paolo Banchero (ankle) out and Tristan da Silva (calf) also questionable, Cain could step back into a larger role if cleared. Alex Morales and Jase Richardson should remain in the mix for extra minutes if Orlando is short-handed again.

Marcus Smart Suspended Three Games
Houston Rockets guard Marcus Smart has been suspended three games without pay for punching Golden State Warriors forward/center Charles Bassey during Wednesday's 115-108 win. Smart received a Flagrant 2 and was ejected late in the third quarter. The 32-year-old is averaging 8.3 points, 1.8 threes, and 1.0 steals in 21.4 minutes through nine appearances. Reed Sheppard should get a little more room in the backcourt after putting up 13 points Wednesday, while Bruce Thornton and Bogdan Bogdanovic could also pick up some of the vacated minutes. Smart will be eligible to return Wednesday against Indiana.

Mouhamed Gueye to be Re-Evaluated in Four Weeks
Atlanta Hawks forward/center Mouhamed Gueye (foot) has progressed to on-court activities as he works back from a fractured left foot and will be re-evaluated in approximately four weeks. Gueye suffered the injury during a July 8 workout and has yet to play this season. The 24-year-old averaged 4.4 points and 3.6 rebounds in 15.3 minutes per game last year, leaving little reason to stash him while his return remains weeks away. Atlanta already has Jock Landale and rookie Zuby Ejiofor competing for reserve frontcourt minutes behind Onyeka Okongwu, so Gueye could face a limited role once cleared.

Aaron Nesmith Iffy for Friday
Indiana Pacers guard/forward Aaron Nesmith (knee) is questionable for Friday's NBA Cup matchup with the New York Knicks after exiting Wednesday's win over Washington with right knee soreness. Rick Carlisle said Nesmith experienced tightness behind the knee and hopes the issue is minor. The 27-year-old managed just two points on 1-for-6 shooting in 22 minutes Wednesday, two days after scoring 18 against Dallas. If Nesmith can't go, Jarace Walker should have a clearer path to extra wing minutes, with Kelly Oubre Jr. and Jalen Slawson also candidates to pick up some of the slack while Tyrese Haliburton (hamstring) remains sidelined.

Ajay Mitchell Could Miss Second Straight Game
Oklahoma City Thunder guard Ajay Mitchell (ankle) is questionable for Friday's matchup with the Los Angeles Clippers after missing Wednesday's loss to Portland with a left ankle sprain. The 24-year-old has emerged as a key secondary scorer for Oklahoma City, averaging 18.5 points, 3.6 rebounds, and 3.3 assists through 11 games. Alex Caruso stepped into the starting lineup Wednesday and responded with 14 points, seven rebounds, three steals, and four threes. He could draw another start if Mitchell sits, while Jared McCain should remain heavily involved despite shooting just 3-for-14 against Portland.

De'Aaron Fox Questionable Against Warriors
San Antonio Spurs guard De'Aaron Fox (hip) is questionable for Friday's matchup with the Golden State Warriors due to left hip soreness. Fox is coming off a 17-point, nine-assist effort in Wednesday's 124-119 win over Chicago and has yet to miss a game this season. The two-time All-Star is averaging 14.2 points, 6.2 assists, and 4.3 rebounds through 12 appearances. If he's unable to go, Dylan Harper and Stephon Castle would likely see more time initiating the offense, with Jordan McLaughlin also a candidate for extra minutes in the backcourt.

Devin Vassell Iffy Against Golden State on Friday
San Antonio Spurs guard/forward Devin Vassell (groin) is questionable for Friday's matchup with the Golden State Warriors due to left adductor tightness. Vassell carried the same designation before each of the last two games but was eventually ruled out both times. The 26-year-old is averaging 11.9 points, 3.8 rebounds, 3.1 assists, and 1.7 steals in 30.0 minutes through 10 appearances. Julian Champagnie has started twice in his place and should remain the main beneficiary if Vassell sits again. De'Aaron Fox (hip) is also questionable, leaving San Antonio's perimeter rotation worth monitoring.

Kingston Flemings Listed as Questionable for Friday
Atlanta Hawks guard Kingston Flemings (back) is questionable for Friday's matchup with the Chicago Bulls due to a lumbar spasm. The No. 8 overall pick has started the last four games since Quin Snyder moved CJ McCollum to a sixth-man role. Across 11 appearances, Flemings is averaging 8.5 points, 2.6 rebounds, and 4.4 assists in 21.8 minutes while shooting an efficient 52.1 percent from the field. Atlanta is coming off three days of rest, which could help. If he can't go, McCollum would likely slide back into the first unit, with Aaron Wiggins also in line for heavier minutes.

Norman Powell Questionable for Friday Against the Hawks
Chicago Bulls guard/forward Norman Powell (back) is questionable for Friday's matchup with the Atlanta Hawks due to low back spasms. Powell has missed the last two games, first sitting out against Philadelphia with a shoulder issue before the back kept him sidelined Wednesday versus San Antonio. The 33-year-old is averaging 19.3 points and 1.6 steals in 28.8 minutes, though he's shooting just 39.8% from the field and 30.9% from three. If Powell misses a third straight game, Isaac Okoro and Tre Jones should continue to see more opportunities with Caleb Wilson (hand) also out.

Trey Murphy III Unlikely to Face the Grizzlies on Friday
New Orleans Pelicans guard/forward Trey Murphy III (knee) is doubtful for Friday's matchup with the Memphis Grizzlies due to bilateral patellar tendinopathy. Murphy has missed the last two games and appears headed toward another absence with New Orleans opening a back-to-back. The 26-year-old was productive in his last appearance, posting 26 points, seven rebounds, three assists, and four threes against the Clippers. With Bennedict Mathurin (thumb) also doubtful, Herbert Jones could stay in the first unit after starting against Brooklyn, while Saddiq Bey should remain involved after giving New Orleans solid scoring off the bench.
