Los Angeles Clippers center
Yanic Konan Niederhauser (illness) did not return after halftime Friday against Sacramento, finishing with two points in six minutes after appearing unlisted on the pregame injury report. His status for Sunday versus Minnesota remains uncertain. If Niederhauser misses time, the Clippers are expected to lean heavily on 37-year-old veteran
Brook Lopez, who logged 36 minutes and produced 15 points, nine rebounds, two assists, one steal, and three blocks. Lopez profiles as a strong short-term streamer.
Isaiah Jackson may also enter the mix once cleared, but his presence would likely muddy the rotation for deep-league managers.

New York Knicks guard/forward
Josh Hart (ankle) exited Friday's loss to Detroit in the third quarter and did not return after aggravating a right ankle injury. He posted five points, six rebounds, and two assists in 25 minutes. Hart had already been managing a left ankle issue, putting his status for Sunday against Boston in doubt. If he misses time,
Landry Shamet profiles as a points and threes streamer after averaging 14.5 points and 3.8 triples over his last four games.
Jordan Clarkson would see a modest usage bump, while recently acquired
Jose Alvarado could carve out a role once cleared to play.

Sacramento Kings forward
De'Andre Hunter (eye) did not return after exiting in the third quarter Friday against the Clippers and is questionable for Saturday's matchup with Cleveland. Hunter struggled in his first two games with Sacramento, averaging 7.5 points, 1.5 rebounds, and 0.5 assists in 25.5 minutes while shooting 21.1 percent from the field. If Hunter misses time and
Keegan Murray (ankle) remains out,
Nique Clifford becomes a viable streamer after posting 15.0 points, 2.5 rebounds, 3.5 assists, 1.0 steals, and 0.5 blocks across his last two games.

Portland Trail Blazers guard/forward
Shaedon Sharpe (calf) did not return to Friday's game against Memphis after suffering a left calf injury, finishing with two points on 0-for-2 shooting, two rebounds, and two assists in 14 minutes. His availability for Saturday's rematch is uncertain, putting Portland's wing rotation in flux. If Sharpe misses time,
Vit Krejci and
Sidy Cissoko project as short-term streamers. Krejci logged 11 points with two 3-pointers and two blocks in 23 minutes, while Cissoko posted nine points, two assists, and two steals in 25 minutes.
Deni Avdija (back) would also absorb usage if cleared.

Washington Wizards forward/center
Anthony Davis (hand) is expected to sit out the rest of the 2025-26 season after being acquired in a deadline deal, with the organization prioritizing a full recovery. Davis has not played since Jan. 8 and will not rush back as Washington looks ahead to next year. For fantasy managers, the impact lands in Dallas, where
Daniel Gafford steps into a heavier workload. Gafford has logged 14.0 points, 11.0 rebounds, 1.3 assists, and 2.0 blocks over his last three starts, making him a strong hold with top-60 upside.
Marvin Bagley III is a deeper-league watch for scoring and boards, while
P.J. Washington gains frontcourt stability.

New York Knicks forward
OG Anunoby (toe) has been ruled out ahead of Friday's game against the Detroit Pistons. He was initially listed as probable, but has now been downgraded to out for this game. It's not shocking to see the Knicks being cautious with Anunoby after he played 48 minutes during Wednesday's game. The absence of Anunoby should mean
Mohamed Diawara will move into the starting five on Friday. The rookie forward hasn't seen a consistent role in the rotation this season. He finished with five points across 14 minutes of action on Wednesday.
Josh Hart might end up benefiting the most, even with Diawara drawing the start.

Detroit Pistons forward
Tobias Harris (hip) has been upgraded to available ahead of Friday's game against the New York Knicks. Harris is returning to the court after missing Thursday's game due to a hip injury. He could see an uptick in playing time with
Jalen Duren (knee) being ruled out for this game.
Isaiah Stewart should shift over to the center spot, which could mean more total run for Harris at the forward position. This season, Harris is averaging 13.5 points, 4.6 rebounds, and 2.5 assists in 27.7 minutes per game. He's not an elite option, but he is consistent enough to be trusted in most fantasy formats.

Detroit Pistons center
Jalen Duren (knee) has been ruled out ahead of Friday's game against the New York Knicks. Duren was forced to make an early exit from Thursday's contest due to a knee injury. As a result, Duren was questionable coming into this game and will ultimately sit out. Without Duren available,
Isaiah Stewart figures to move into the starting five. Stewart has been an inconsistent fantasy contributor this season. He should be a safer option on Friday, given Duren is unavailable. He could be worth a look for fantasy managers seeking an option for Friday's slate. Ronald Holland II and
Paul Reed could also see more minutes, but Stewart is probably the best option among the three.

Milwaukee Bucks guard
Gary Harris (hamstring) has been upgraded to available ahead of Friday's game against the Indiana Pacers. Harris is making his return to the court after missing four games due to a lingering hamstring injury. Harris wasn't playing a huge role in the rotation before the injury, but could see more minutes now with
Amir Coffey being traded away. This season, Harris is averaging 2.7 points, 1.5 rebounds, and 1.1 assists in 14.9 minutes per game. His playing time figures to see an uptick, but it probably won't be enough to warrant rostering him in fantasy leagues right now.

Oklahoma City Thunder guard
Jared McCain doesn't appear on the injury report ahead of Saturday's game against the Houston Rockets. McCain was traded to the Thunder from the Philadelphia 76ers during Thursday's trade deadline. It appears McCain is set to make his team debut against the Rockets on Saturday. He could see a significant workload right away with
Shai Gilgeous-Alexander (abdomen) and
Ajay Mitchell (abdomen) both out. Fantasy managers in deeper leagues looking for a sneaky add might want to consider McCain. His value could fade once the Thunder gets healthy, but he figures to see consistent minutes right now.

Oklahoma City Thunder center
Isaiah Hartenstein (eye) has been removed from the injury report ahead of Saturday's game against the Houston Rockets. Hartenstein is back after sitting out Wednesday's game due to a corneal abrasion. He missed significant time due to a calf injury and has only played in three games since returning on January 29. During that span, Hartenstein is averaging 9.0 points, 6.7 rebounds, and 4.3 assists in 21.0 minutes of action. The expectation is that he'll likely remain on a minutes restriction for Saturday's game. That will hurt his value in DFS contests, but fantasy managers in season-long formats can get Hartenstein active this weekend.

February 6, 2026
Oklahoma City Thunder center
Chet Holmgren (back) has been removed from the injury report ahead of Saturday's game against the Houston Rockets. Holmgren sat out of Wednesday's contest for injury management reasons, but will return this weekend. He has been a key contributor for the Thunder this season. He's averaging 17.7 points, 8.5 rebounds, and 1.6 assists in 29.2 minutes per game this season. His return to the rotation will shift
Kenrich Williams back to the second unit. Fantasy managers can return the star big man to their lineups for Saturday's slate.

Minnesota Timberwolves power forward
Julius Randle (thumb) will play on Friday against the New Orleans Pelicans. He is ready to show his former team what they are missing, shedding a questionable tag Randle picked up because of a sore left thumb. Impressively, Randle has yet to miss any games this season. He's had a great campaign in Minnesota, though Randle's numbers have dipped slightly over the last 10 games. He has notched 20.2 points, 6.0 rebounds, and 4.6 assists over that span.

February 6, 2026
Milwaukee Bucks forward
Bobby Portis (hip) has been upgraded to available ahead of Friday's game against the Indiana Pacers. Portis is back after missing each of the last two games due to a hip injury. The expectation is that he'll be a full-go and won't be limited after missing two games. This season, Portis is averaging 13.2 points, 6.7 rebounds, and 1.7 assists in 24.4 minutes per game. He has been playing more minutes lately, with 36 minutes or more in four of his last five games. Portis is looking like a solid streaming option ahead of Friday's slate.

New York Knicks guard/forward
Josh Hart (ankle) will suit up against the Detroit Pistons on Friday, Stefan Bondy of the New York Post reports. The versatile veteran is dealing with a sprained left ankle, but he is ready to play. New York listed Hart as questionable on the initial injury report before upgrading him to probable earlier in the day. Hart has averaged 12.8 points, 7.4 rebounds, 4.6 assists, and 1.0 steals across his last eight outings.
