B. Adebayo - PF

MIA

Bam Adebayo (health and safety protocols) is questionable for Saturday's game vs. the Pistons.

Goran Dragic, Moe Harkless and three other players from the health-and-safety list are considered 'questionable', so anyone playing DFS will need to be on high alert prior to Miami's tip-off. If Bam is ruled out again, Kelly Olynyk and rookie Precious Achiuwa will once again be very busy in the frontcourt.

E. Fournier - SG

ORL

Evan Fournier will miss Friday's game against the Celtics with back spasms that have now held him out of seven straight contests.

Fournier remains sidelined due to lower back spasms that him kept him off the court since Dec. 31, 2020. But the Magic are surprisingly 4-0 since then. Dwayne Bacon, James Ennis and Terrence Ross will continue to play big minutes in the mean time.

J. Butler - SF

MIA

Jimmy Butler (health and safety protocols) will not play vs. Detroit on Saturday.

It was announced on Jan. 11 that Butler, Goran Dragic, Kendrick Nunn, Bam Adebayo, Moe Harkless and Udonis Haslem were all expected to miss at least one week due to safety protocols. Although Butler and Avery Bradley (COVID-19) are still listed 'out' for the Heat, the rest of those players have been upgraded to 'questionable', with their status likely to be determined after shootaround on Saturday.

M. Scott - PF

PHI

Mike Scott (right knee swelling) won't travel with Philly for their two-game road trip this weekend.

Scott will miss consecutive games on Saturday and Sunday, before potentially returning to action vs. Boston on Wednesday. He's not a fantasy factor but could emerge as a streaming/DFS option if Joel Embiid's own knee injury costs him games beyond the current road trip. For now, just continue to ignore Scott in the vast majority of leagues.

Added 5:46 pm (EST)

N/A

A. Len - C

TOR

Alex Len will miss his second straight game due to personal reasons when the Raptors play the Hornets on Saturday.

Aron Baynes got the start for Len on Thursday but didn't do much, scoring two points in eight minutes. Chris Boucher is the guy you want from Toronto's center rotation and he's still available in 21% of Yahoo leagues.

NBA Injury Report

N/A

A. Horford - C

OKC

Al Horford (personal) won't play vs. the Bulls on Friday.

Mike Muscala is the biggest winner here, and the Thunder may give rookie Aleksej Pokusevski some center minutes if the Bulls are using smaller lineups. It sounds like a one-game absence for Horford, who also sat out Wednesday to rest purposes, and he'll have a chance to return vs. the visiting Sixers on Sunday.

N/A

J. Embiid - C

PHI

Joel Embiid (right knee pain) will not travel with the Sixers on their two-game trip vs. Memphis on Saturday and OKC on Sunday.

There are no more details about the injury, but according to beat writer Derek Bodner, the move to keep Embiid in Philly is "precautionary." That's cold comfort for fantasy managers without their star center in both sides of a back-to-back set, but for now we'll assume he could return vs. the Celtics on Wednesday, Jan. 20. Mike Scott is also out with knee pain, which means Dwight Howard needs to avoid foul trouble and Tony Bradley could see minutes at the backup-five spot.

H. Whiteside - C

SAC

Hassan Whiteside (left hip soreness) is questionable vs. the Clippers on Friday.

Richaun Holmes is thriving this season and the Kings are giving Marvin Bagley minutes at center, which has decimated Whiteside's role even at full health. He played 10 minutes in each of the past two games, so even if he suits up on Friday it's wise to leave him on your fantasy benches.
