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.

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.

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.

New York Knicks forward/center
Karl-Anthony Towns (eye) won't play on Friday against the Detroit Pistons, Stefan Bondy of the New York Post reports. Due to a right eye laceration, the Knicks listed Toews as questionable on the initial injury report. He was downgraded to doubtful earlier on Friday and has now been ruled out. His absence will likely give
Mitchell Robinson the starting center role, while
Ariel Hukporti will get a chance to log extended minutes off the bench. Whether Robinson starts or not, his stats have stayed about the same throughout the season. Towns' first chance to return will be on Sunday against the Boston Celtics.

Chicago Bulls point guard
Josh Giddey (hamstring) won't be available on Saturday against the Denver Nuggets. A left hamstring strain will keep him off the floor for a sixth consecutive game. With
Tre Jones (hamstring) also out, the Bulls debuted a new-look backcourt against Toronto on Thursday. Newly acquired
Anfernee Simons and
Jaden Ivey both started, with the former scoring a team-high 22 points. Ivey made an impact with 13 points and six assists. The two look like solid fantasy options again for Saturday's action.

Denver Nuggets forward
Cameron Johnson (knee) was upgraded to questionable on the injury report ahead of Saturday's clash against the Chicago Bulls. He is closing in on his return to the lineup, and Johnson's comeback would come at a great time for the Nuggets, who have just lost
Peyton Watson (hamstring) for several weeks. However, because he has not played since Dec. 23, Johnson will likely see limited minutes when he first comes back. Johnson has been inconsistent during his first year in Denver, averaging 11.7 points, 3.6 rebounds, and 2.4 assists in 30.6 minutes per game.

February 6, 2026
Denver Nuggets center
Nikola Jokic (ankle) is considered questionable for Saturday's meeting with the Chicago Bulls. After returning from a knee issue, Jokic has picked up an ankle injury. Since rejoining the lineup, Jokic has averaged 25.3 points, 12.0 rebounds, and 6.8 assists in 33.0 minutes per game. His absence on Saturday would open the door for extended minutes for
Jonas Valanciunas and
Zeke Nnaji, with the former set to move into the starting unit. As a starter this season, Valanciunas has pushed his productivity to 15.3 points and 10.8 rebounds per game.

Golden State Warriors point guard
Stephen Curry (knee) doesn't have a timeline for his return, ESPN's Anthony Slater reports. The former MVP is set to miss a third straight game on Saturday against the Los Angeles Lakers. Curry has been dealing with "runner's knee" for a while. With Curry sidelined,
Gui Santos has made back-to-back starts, providing a little bit of everything. At the same time, backcourt players like
De'Anthony Melton and
Pat Spencer also have more fantasy appeal. They slotted into the starting lineup as well on Thursday against Phoenix, with Spencer producing a team-high 20 points.

New York Knicks guard
Miles McBride (abdomen) will miss 6-8 weeks, SNY's Ian Begley reports. He could be out for the rest of the regular season following core muscle surgery. McBride's absence will leave the Knicks without an important rotational piece. The 25-year-old has averaged a career-high 12.9 points this season, along with 2.6 rebounds and 2.8 assists. However, the arrival of
Jose Alvarado from New Orleans will help fill the backcourt void.
Landry Shamet and
Jordan Clarkson could also be more involved in the rotation going forward.

February 6, 2026
Milwaukee Bucks forward
Kyle Kuzma (calf) won't play on Friday against the Indiana Pacers. The team has ruled him out with left calf soreness. Milwaukee has also listed
Bobby Portis (hip) as questionable for the game, meaning the frontcourt could be thin on Friday night. As a result,
Jericho Sims and
Pete Nance could see extended minutes, while newly arrived
Ousmane Dieng will also be available against the Pacers. Additionally, there would be additional offensive touches available if Portis joins Kuzma on the shelf.

February 6, 2026
Sacramento Kings forward/center
Domantas Sabonis (back) has been ruled out for Friday's matchup against the Los Angeles Clippers. On Wednesday, Sabonis returned from a back problem against the Memphis Grizzlies, but he will be out again on Friday night. This will mark his third absence in four games.
Maxime Raynaud is set to return to the first unit against the Clippers, while fellow rookie
Dylan Cardwell should also see healthy minutes at the No. 5 spot. As a starter, Raynaud has provided 11.3 points and 8.2 rebounds per game.
