Anthony Black

ORL Point Guard #0

Personalize your Rotoworld feed by favoriting players

Anthony Black finished Saturday’s win over the Pistons with 11 points (3-of-8 FGs, 4-of-4 FTs), one rebound, five assists, two steals, and one 3-pointer in 32 minutes.

With Jalen Suggs exiting Saturday’s game during the first half with a sore hamstring, Black picked up additional minutes. He’s played 29 minutes or more in three of Orlando’s last four games, so the second-year guard’s playing time may not change much if Suggs misses time. Orlando plays four games in Week 6, beginning with Charlotte on Monday.

Matisse Thybulle

POR Guard-Forward #4

Personalize your Rotoworld feed by favoriting players

Matisse Thybulle (thumb) is available to play on Friday against the Nuggets.

Thybulle is will take the floor for the first time since October 29 when he exited Portland’s win over Utah with a thumb injury. Nearly four months later, the veteran forward will make his fifth appearance of the season. He’ll return to a crowded Trail Blazers rotation on Friday without a clear role, which should not impact fantasy basketball.

Clippers' Mathurin 'certainly worth picking up'

February 20, 2026 05:17 PM

Eric Samulski discusses Bennedict Mathurin's 38-point performance for the Clippers vs. the Nuggets and urges fantasy managers to add him to their lineups while he gets "heavy usage" with Darius Garland out.

Kris Murray

POR Forward #24

Kris Murray (back) is available for Friday’s game against the Nuggets.

Murray is good to appear in a game for the first time since January 5. He’ll provide added wing depth off the bench, but the third-year forward is not guaranteed to get the minutes needed to affect fantasy basketball. Leave Murray on the waiver wire.

Ryan Rollins

MIL Guard #13

Ryan Rollins, Kevin Porter Jr., Kyle Kuzma, Jericho Sims and AJ Green will start against the Pelicans on Friday.

The Bucks welcome Rollins back to the rotation after a foot injury sidelined him for the Bucks’ two final games before the All-Star break. His return will bolster Milwaukee’s starting backcourt and provide the team with more scoring and playmaking from the opening tip, as they look to extend their win streak to three games. He’s played consistently throughout the year and is posting averages of 16.9 points, 4.6 rebounds and 5.5 assists.

Bryce McGowens

NOP Guard #11
Herb Jones, Bryce McGowens, Saddiq Bey, Zion Williamson and Derik Queen will start Friday’s game against the Bucks.

On the same day that he agreed to a three-year deal, McGowens has been moved into the Pelicans’ starting lineup. He’ll fill the void left by Trey Murphy, who is out with a right shoulder contusion suffered before the All-Star break.

Grayson Allen

PHX Guard #8

Grayson Allen (ankle) is questionable for Saturday’s game against the Magic.

Allen has missed Phoenix’s last four games, including Thursday’s loss to the Spurs. While Devin Booker (hip) being out makes Allen a more important player if available, he is not guaranteed to play starters’ minutes because of the time missed.

Devin Booker

PHX Guard #1
Devin Booker (hip) is out for Saturday’s game against the Magic.

Booker suffered a right hip strain during Thursday’s loss to the Spurs and did not return. His absence for Saturday’s game opens up a spot in the starting lineup. Jordan Goodwin started the second half of Thursday’s defeat and may be the first choice to move into the starting five.

Davion Mitchell

MIA Guard #45
Davion Mitchell (head) will start alongside Norman Powell, Andrew Wiggins, Pelle Larsson and Bam Adebayo on Friday against the Hawks.

Mitchell was upgraded from questionable to available, as the Heat look to put together back-to-back wins for the first time in nearly one month. Mitchell, the team’s leader in assists per game, should play a pivotal role in getting Miami’s scorers going. Andrew Wiggins’ and Tyler Herro’s returns from injury should also benefit the Heat.

John Konchar

UTA Guard #55

Kyle Filipowski, Cody Williams, Isaiah Collier, Ace Bailey and John Konchar will start against the Grizzlies on Friday.

Down several key starters, the injury-hit Jazz will piece together a rarely-used opening unit against the Grizzlies. The two teams split their first couple of meetings this season, and Memphis and Utah could use a win on Friday to get back in the win column. They’ll meet once more in April.

Taylor Hendricks

MEM Forward #22
Jaylen Wells, Jahmai Mashack, GG Jackson, Taylor Hendricks and Lawson Lovering will start Friday’s game against the Jazz.

The Grizzlies are without Ty Jerome, Cedric Coward and Scotty Pippen Jr. for Friday’s game, among others. Wells and Jackson are the holdovers from the Grizzlies’ final game before the All-Star break, with Mashack, Hendricks and Lovering moving into the starting five. Of the three replacements, Hendricks is the one who offers the highest fantasy ceiling.

Tyus Jones

DAL Guard #1
Tyus Jones, Naji Marshall, Khris Middleton, P.J. Washington and Daniel Gafford will start Friday’s game against the Timberwolves.

Mavericks head coach Jason Kidd told reporters that Jones will start on Friday. He’ll replace Max Christie (ankle) in the opening unit to provide the team with some playmaking and ball-handling at the lead guard position. Jones was recently acquired by the Mavericks via trade; he’s averaging 3.0 points and 4.3 assists in 17.0 minutes per game in his three appearances with Dallas. Joining Jones in the starting lineup are Naji Marshall, Khris Middleton, P.J. Washington and Daniel Gafford.
