Suggs has dealt with back, quad and knee issues that have kept him out for all but one game since January 3. While he’s considered out indefinitely, it’s difficult to imagine he returns to action before the end of the season. Suggs can be dropped in fantasy leagues while Cole Anthony and Anthony Black handle the point guard minutes for Orlando.

Bassey will remain out with a bone bruise in his left knee. Bismack Biyombo will remain the starting center, with Jeremy Sochan picking up additional minutes off the bench. Sandro Mamukelashvili has also played additional minutes, but he does not have the streaming appeal that Biyombo or Sochan possesses;

Gordon sprained his left ankle during Thursday’s loss to the Bucks. During his pregame availability, Nuggets coach Michael Malone said his starting forward wasn’t physically right. Julian Strawther and Zeke Nnaji are potential replacements in the starting lineup, with the former offering a higher offensive ceiling.

Sochan exited Wednesday’s loss to the Rockets during the second quarter after taking a shot to the Head and did not return. However, there was no need to enter the league’s concussion protocol, and he’s available for Saturday’s game. Sandro Mamukelashvili will likely play fewer minutes off the bench, removing any streaming value he may have had.

Poole is out with a right elbow hyperextension. Given how much usage the 25-year-old shooting guard typically takes up, a slew of Wizards will see a boost in fantasy value Saturday. Bub Carrington, Bilal Coulibaly, Marcus Smart, Corey Kispert, Kyshawn George and Khris Middleton could all benefit with Poole already ruled out.

Sarr has missed the last three games with ankle injury and his status is once again up in the air for Saturday. Richaun Holmes had 20 points in 19 minutes in his last spot start with Sarr out. Holmes would be worth streaming in deeper formats if Sarr is out again Saturday.

Butler struggled in Thursday’s win over the Magic, scoring just five points, and a mid-back strain likely was a factor. He’s questionable to play against the 76ers, and a potential absence would leave a significant hole in the Warriors’ starting lineup. Gary Payton II is a possible replacement due to the need to account for Tyrese Maxey and Paul George defensively.

Moore remains in the league’s concussion protocol and will miss a second straight game. His absence does not significantly impact fantasy basketball, but it frees up additional minutes for Damion Baugh. Baugh isn’t worth adding in most leagues, but he may have added value during the “silly season.”

Neither Nurkic nor Salaun appeared in Charlotte’s last two games, most recently sitting out Thursday’s loss to the Mavericks. They’ll be backups if allowed to play against the Wizards, limiting their fantasy ceilings. Salaun may have added value during the “silly season,” especially if the Hornets prioritize getting their lottery pick more minutes.

Hachimura was injured during the third quarter of Thursday’s win over the Timberwolves and has since been diagnosed with a strained left knee. Fantasy managers should prepare for this potentially being an injury that costs him multiple games, beginning with Friday night. Dorian Finney-Smith, who can provide three-pointers and steals, is the likely replacement in the starting lineup. He’s worth streaming in deep leagues.

Yabusele will be available after a right eye abrasion sidelined him for Wednesday’s loss to the Knicks. Whether he returns to the starting lineup or serves as Andre Drummond’s backup, reliable minutes will be available for Yabusele with Joel Embiid (knee) out for the rest of the season. Adem Bona’s playing time may take a hit, but the rookie will be more valuable if the 76ers decide to shut everyone down.

After consulting top specialists, the 76ers determined that Embiid is medically unable to play and will miss the rest of the season, according to a team statement. The two sides will continue working with medical experts to determine a treatment plan going forward. The 30-year-old center played against the Celtics and Nets last week, but didn’t look like himself out there. With Embiid shutdown for the rest of the season, Guerschon Yabusele and Andre Drummond will handle the center minutes in Philadelphia. Drummond is still available in most leagues and worth adding.
