Detroit Pistons forward
Duncan Robinson (back) has been cleared to suit up ahead of Friday's game against the Houston Rockets. Robinson was tagged as probable earlier in the day due to a lower back injury. It's not going to be significant enough to keep Robinson on the sideline. Robinson has been heating up lately, so he could be an interesting streaming option for Friday's slate. He's averaging 17.0 points, 2.4 rebounds, 1.6 assists, and 2.4 three-pointers in 27.7 minutes over his last five outings. He'll look to keep his hot streak alive against the Rockets on Friday night.

Memphis Grizzlies center
Jock Landale (personal) is available to play ahead of Friday's game against the New Orleans Pelicans. Landale was a late addition to the injury report due to a personal matter. He'll shed the questionable tag and suit up for Friday's contest. This month, Landale is averaging 12.8 points, 8.3 rebounds, and 2.1 assists across 25.7 minutes per game in nine contests. The Grizzlies' frontcourt is extremely banged up, so Landale has been playing significant minutes. He has been a consistent contributor lately and deserves to be looked at as a streaming option right now. He has scored 10 or more points in four of his last five games.

Detroit Pistons forward
Ron Holland II (illness) has been upgraded to available ahead of Friday's game against the Houston Rockets. He appears to be dealing with a minor illness, but it's not significant enough to keep him sidelined. The first-rounder has been picking up his play in the New Year. This month, Holland is averaging 7.7 points, 5.8 rebounds, and 1.2 steals across 20.9 minutes per game in nine games. He could be worth a look as a streaming option in deep leagues for Friday's slate. He has been consistent enough to be trusted as a low-end option.

Detroit Pistons guard
Cade Cunningham (hip, illness) has been upgraded to available ahead of Friday's game against the Houston Rockets. Cunningham was able to make it through shootaround and will return to the court after missing Wednesday's contest. The return of Cunningham should shift
Daniss Jenkins back to the second unit. He dropped 17 points with Cunningham sidelined, but he won't be an appealing streaming option while playing with the second unit. Cunningham has been a stud this season and needs to be started in all formats. Fantasy managers should double-check their lineups and get Cunningham active ahead of tip-off.

Boston Celtics center
Neemias Queta (illness) is available to play ahead of Friday's game against the Brooklyn Nets. Queta was a late addition to the injury report, but will ultimately play through his illness. He finished with 17 points, nine rebounds, and five blocks across 29 minutes of action on Wednesday. Fantasy managers should expect him to play in his normal role with
Luka Garza playing in the primary backup role. Queta has been playing well enough to be rostered and started in most season-long formats right now.

January 23, 2026
Houston Rockets guard
Aaron Holiday (back) has been downgraded to out ahead of Friday's game against the Detroit Pistons. Holiday sat out Thursday's game and will now miss both games of the back-to-back set. When healthy, Holiday hasn't been a consistent member of the rotation anyway, averaging 13.9 minutes per game.
Tari Eason (ankle) is also sidelined, which means
Josh Okogie is likely to see additional playing time. He finished with eight points, two assists, and two rebounds across 22 minutes of action on Thursday. He'll offer low-end streaming appeal even with Holiday and Eason out.

Oklahoma City Thunder guard
Aaron Wiggins (groin) has been ruled out ahead of Friday's game against the Indiana Pacers. This marks the second straight game that Wiggins has been held out due to right groin soreness. The absence of Wiggins should mean increased playing time for
Cason Wallace and
Isaiah Joe. The extended playing time should make Wallace more appealing heading into Friday's slate. He finished with nine points, two assists, and four steals across 31 minutes of action on Wednesday. The expectation is that he'll play a similar role once again with Wiggins sidelined.

Detroit Pistons guard/forward
Duncan Robinson (back) is probable for Friday's matchup against Houston while managing a lower back sprain. His availability is important for a Detroit rotation that remains fluid, especially with
Cade Cunningham (illness) questionable. Robinson's role has stayed stable through the shuffle, as he has averaged 17.0 points, 2.4 rebounds, and 4.4 three-pointers in 27.7 minutes over his last five games. He logged 29 minutes with 15 points and four triples in his most recent outing, keeping him locked in as a standard-league source of points and perimeter shooting if active.

Toronto Raptors guard
Ja'Kobe Walter (hip) will miss Friday's game against Portland, extending his absence to seven straight contests as he works back from a right hip contusion. Walter's absence has sustained
Jamal Shead's expanded role, with production holding despite efficiency concerns. Shead is averaging 10.8 points, 2.8 rebounds, 7.2 assists, and 1.2 steals in 31.8 minutes over his last five games while shooting 34.8 percent from the field. His role could expand further if
RJ Barrett (ankle) remains sidelined, giving Shead short-term standard-league value.
Gradey Dick and
Ochai Agbaji see marginal bumps but remain fringe options.

January 23, 2026
Toronto Raptors forward
Collin Murray-Boyles (thumb) is questionable for Friday's matchup against Portland as he works through a left thumb sprain and risks missing a third straight game. His availability matters for Toronto's frontcourt rotation, where
Sandro Mamukelashvili has stepped into a larger role. Mamukelashvili erupted for 22 points, nine rebounds, four assists and three three-pointers in 32 minutes last game, making him a strong short-term add if Murray-Boyles remains out. Murray-Boyles is a hold in deeper formats, but any absence continues to funnel minutes and usage toward Mamukelashvili.

Toronto Raptors guard/forward
RJ Barrett (ankle) is questionable for Friday's game in Portland, a step forward as he works toward a potential return. Barrett's availability directly impacts the backcourt rotation, as
Jamal Shead would likely slide back to the second unit if Barrett plays. Shead has been productive lately, averaging 10.8 points, 2.8 rebounds, 7.2 assists, and 1.2 steals in 31.8 minutes over his last five, though on a shaky 34.8 percent from the field. Fantasy managers should view Shead as a short-term standard-league option only if Barrett remains sidelined.

Milwaukee Bucks center
Myles Turner (ankle) is probable to play Friday against Denver after missing one game. His return would tighten Milwaukee's frontcourt rotation, cutting into
Bobby Portis' upside after the veteran big delivered 15 points, six rebounds, and nine assists in 37 minutes Wednesday. Turner's recent play has been uneven, averaging 11.2 points and 4.8 rebounds over his last five, which keeps expectations modest. Fantasy managers should view Turner as a low-end hold, while Portis slides from short-term standard-league value back to a capped bench role when Turner is active.

January 23, 2026
Cleveland Cavaliers guard/forward
Sam Merrill (hand) will miss Friday's game against Sacramento, marking his fourth straight absence as he continues to manage a right-hand sprain. With Merrill and
Darius Garland (toe) sidelined, Cleveland is again leaning on
Jaylon Tyson for secondary scoring and playmaking. Tyson delivered 14 points, seven rebounds, and four assists in 31 minutes last game, giving him short-term value in standard formats.
Craig Porter Jr. also continues to see an expanded role, though his seven points, one rebound, and two assists in 18 minutes keep him capped as a low-end option.
--Brian DailisanSource: NBA Injury Report
January 23, 2026
Indiana Pacers guard
Bennedict Mathurin (thumb) will miss Friday against Oklahoma City as he continues to recover from a right thumb sprain and has now missed 10 straight games. Indiana will keep leaning on
Aaron Nesmith and second-year wing
Johnny Furphy, though results have been uneven. Nesmith is mired in a slump, shooting 23.1 percent from the field over his last five starts. Furphy has shown flashes with 7.0 points, 6.0 rebounds, and 1.4 assists over that stretch, though the production has been volatile and is best left for deeper formats.
--Brian DailisanSource: NBA Injury Report
January 23, 2026
Oklahoma City Thunder guard/forward
Alex Caruso (adductor) will sit out Friday against Indiana, extending his absence as the Thunder continue to manage his workload. With Caruso and
Ajay Mitchell (abdomen) sidelined and
Aaron Wiggins (groin) carrying a questionable tag, Oklahoma City's wing rotation thins again. That creates a short-term opportunity for
Isaiah Joe, who logged five points in 25 minutes last game and offers situational three-point streaming value in deeper leagues. Caruso remains a defensive-category specialist when active, but his limited scoring profile keeps his fantasy ceiling capped.
