Thompson is back after a five-game absence, but an immediate return to the starting lineup is not guaranteed. Back in mid-November, the Pistons’ wing was brought off the bench for a game after missing the previous four with a sprained right ankle. Marcus Sasser has been Thompson’s replacement in the starting lineup and may retain that role for another game.

Thompson is on the verge of returning after a five-game absence. Marcus Sasser has been his replacement in the starting lineup, and the second-year guard is likely headed to the bench if Thompson can play.

Stewart, who played 20 minutes in Friday’s win over the Grizzlies, is out with a strained left calf. His absence moves Paul Reed up in the rotation, and he may hold onto the backup center role for a few games. In that role, Reed is worth a look in deep leagues.

Harris is back after sitting out Friday’s win over the Grizzlies. His return means that Javonte Green will come off the bench, which limits his fantasy value.

Yurtseven previously spent three seasons in the NBA, two with the Heat and one with the Jazz. The 27-year-old center played with Panathinaikos in Greece for two years before signing to play in the G League earlier this month. The signing of Yurtseven is a direct result of the Warriors current injury problems.

Horford left Friday’s loss to the Timberwolves with right calf tightness after just five minutes. The 39-year-old power forward has been ruled out ahead of Sunday’s game against the Knicks. With Kristaps Porzingis (illness) also out, Quinten Post could start and be worth streaming in standard leagues.

Melton started and had 12 points in 24 minutes in Friday’s loss to the Timberwolves. The 27-year-old point guard has been ruled out ahead of Sunday’s game against the Knicks for left knee injury management reasons. With Melton sidelined, Will Richard could move into the starting lineup.

Porziņģis had 20 points in 22 minutes in Friday’s loss to the Timberwolves as he continues to play on a minutes restriction. The 30-year-old center will have the ultimate minutes restriction Sunday as he’s been ruled out for illness management. With Al Horford (calf) also out, Quinten Post could be worth streaming in standard leagues.

Green was a late scratch before Friday’s loss to the Timberwolves with a back injury and will miss Sunday’s game against the Knicks as he continues to manage the injury. With De’Anthony Melton also out, Will Richard should see more minutes again, though he had no points in 29 minutes off the bench on Friday.

Post only played 11 minutes on Friday, as he exited prematurely with a sprained left ankle. A potential absence for the second-year center would not have a significant impact on fantasy basketball, but the Warriors were already lacking depth in the post. Draymond Green (back) did not play on Friday, Al Horford (calf) exited after five minutes and Kristaps Porziņǵis is still under a minutes limit. The Warriors end Week 20 with a game against the Knicks on Sunday.

Porziņǵis remains under a minutes restriction, with the Warriors’ big man logging 20 minutes on Friday. However, he took advantage of those minutes, recording his first 20-point game since joining the team. Add in the fact that Porziņǵis recorded a complete stat line, and few, if any, fantasy managers will turn their noses up at this performance. The Warriors, who lost Al Horford (calf) and Quinten Post (ankle) during Friday’s defeat, finish their Week 20 with a game against the Knicks on Sunday.

After totaling 23 points on 8-of-18 shooting in his prior two appearances, Podziemski exceeded that number on Friday. Add in the rebounds and three-pointers, and this was a solid effort from the Warriors’ guard, even if he did not record any defensive stats. Since the All-Star break, Podziemski has provided sixth-round value in eight-cat formats. With Stephen Curry (knee) out for at least one more week, Podz is worth picking up if he’s on the waiver wire in 12-team leagues.

Curry exited Friday’s game during the second quarter, and the Warriors announced at the beginning of the fourth that he won’t return due to a sore left adductor. Gary Payton II and Malevy Leons may pick up a few more minutes with Curry sidelined, but neither will be worth the streaming risk moving forward.

Horford played five minutes before exiting due to tightness in his right calf. The veteran center’s exit likely means more playing time for Quinten Post, especially with Draymond Green (back) out and Kristaps Porziņǵis under a minutes restriction.

After recording 13 assists in Thursday’s win over the Nets, Cunningham was even better against the Grizzlies. The Pistons’ star point guard racked up 15 helpers on Friday, the second time in three games that he’s hit that number. Cunningham also brought more to the table as a scorer, getting into double figures after scoring eight points on Thursday. He’ll likely run into greater resistance when the Pistons visit the Raptors on Sunday.

Duren was dominant on Friday, an unsurprising development, given the Grizzlies’ lack of interior depth and size. The Pistons center made 80 percent of his shot attempts, and the double-double was his 33rd of the season and second in as many nights. For fantasy managers, they’ll get another game out of Duren as the Pistons visit the Raptors on Sunday.

Melton is back after a one-game absence, which pushes Will Richard to the bench. The other change to the lineup is Porziņǵis, who steps in for Draymond Green. Green is out with a back injury.

Added to the injury report less than an hour before tipoff, Green is now out. His absence opens up a spot in the starting lineup, and Will Richard may fill the void. De’Anthony Melton’s return to action could have bumped the rookie, but he may stay since Green is out.

Green has been added to the Warriors’ injury report, which is not a good sign regarding his availability for Friday’s game. With Al Horford already starting, Will Richard could remain in the starting lineup if Green doesn’t play. If Green plays, Richard will likely head to the bench, since De’Anthony Melton is available.

Post, who did not play in Tuesday’s loss to the Bulls, is back in the rotation for Friday’s game. However, he is not guaranteed to get the minutes needed to affect fantasy basketball, so the second-year center can be left on the waiver wire.

Already without Ausar Thompson, the Pistons won’t have Tobias Harris for Friday’s game. Green moves into the starting lineup and is worthy of streaming consideration in deep leagues. Due to Thompson’s continued absence, Sasser remains in the starting lineup.

LeVert is back after a three-game absence, and he’ll take on his usual reserve role. With Ausar Thompson still out, there may be a few more minutes available than usual, but the Pistons expect to get their starting wing back soon. For Friday’s game, Kevin Huerter may lose out on a few minutes with LeVert available.

Seven Pistons finished Thursday’s 131-107 victory in double figures, with the reserves getting a little more playing time due to the game getting out of hand. However, Green didn’t need “garbage time” to have one of his most productive games of the season. The 17 points were the most in a game for him since hitting that number in a January 5 blowout of the Knicks, and he scored eight in the third quarter. Friday’s game against the Grizzlies may be another opportunity for Green to put up solid numbers against a shorthanded opponent.

The Pistons were able to pull away from the 76ers in the third quarter, despite Cunningham having a limited impact as a scorer. The All-Star guard attempted just six shots in the night, a season-low, with this being the second time he’s failed to put up at least ten. The good news is that Cunningham recorded 13 assists, the fifth time in the last six games that he’s dished out ten or more.

Duren found himself in early foul trouble on Thursday, and that, combined with the blowout, conspired to limit the Pistons’ center to 15 minutes. The good news for fantasy managers was that Duren recorded his first double-double in three games and 32nd of the season. With the Pistons hosting the Grizzlies on Friday, that’s another game where Duren’s playing time could be limited due to the competition.

Given how banged-up the 76ers were entering Thursday’s game, this was an opportunity for some of the Pistons’ unheralded options to put up better numbers than usual. Robinson’s 19 points were the most he’s scored in a game in over a month, and he last made five triples in a February 21 win over the Bulls. Robinson’s four assists were a nice bonus, but he remains a three-point specialist in fantasy leagues.
