Dallas Mavericks forward Caleb Martin (back) is available for Sunday's game against the Thunder after missing one contest. With Cooper Flagg (foot), Naji Marshall (finger), and P.J. Washington (ankle) sidelined, Martin could see a bump from his 17-minute average over the last five games. In that span, he has produced 5.2 points, 2.4 rebounds, 1.2 assists, and 1.4 steals, flashing defensive upside. He logged 10 points and three steals in 20 minutes his last time out. Martin is a risky streamer, but the opportunity and potential steals make him viable in deeper formats.

Dallas Mavericks forwards P.J. Washington (ankle) and Naji Marshall (finger) are out for Sunday's game against the Thunder. Washington will miss his third straight contest, while Marshall exits the rotation after logging 30 minutes per game this season. Dallas is expected to lean on Khris Middleton, Klay Thompson, and Caleb Martin in expanded roles. Middleton posted 10 points and three assists in 19 minutes Friday, and Thompson has averaged 11 points in a limited run recently. Martin also offers defensive streaming value. Middleton and Brandon Williams are positioned to handle more of the offense.

Washington Wizards guard/forward Kyshawn George (knee) is questionable for Monday's game against the Rockets after being limited to 15 minutes in Saturday's loss to Toronto. The second-year wing has averaged 29.1 minutes with a 21.7 percent usage rate as a starter, though his workload has fluctuated while managing the knee issue. If he sits, Will Riley and Justin Champagnie profile as short-term streamers. Riley posted 19 points in 35 minutes last game, while Champagnie added 12 points and three blocks in 22 minutes. Still, Washington's rotation remains difficult to trust due to inconsistent minute distribution.

Boston Celtics forward Baylor Scheierman (thumb) is available for Sunday's game against the 76ers after being listed as questionable. The second-year wing has started seven straight games, averaging 8.9 points, 6.1 rebounds, 2.4 assists, and 1.7 triples in 26 minutes with a 14.4 usage rate. He posted 10 points, three rebounds, and six assists in 22 minutes Friday. With Jayson Tatum (Achilles) sidelined, Scheierman offers short-term streaming appeal, though his night-to-night production remains volatile, making him a risky option. Derrick White and Jaylen Brown still command the offense.

Los Angeles Lakers forward LeBron James (foot) is listed as questionable for Sunday's game against the Kings after appearing in the first half of a back-to-back set. The 41-year-old is averaging 21.5 points, 5.7 rebounds, and 7.0 assists in 33.2 minutes, and his potential absence would shift usage toward Luka Doncic and Austin Reaves. Jake LaRavia logged 15 points, five rebounds, and three assists in 27 minutes during the last outing, making him a viable streamer, while Jarred Vanderbilt and Rui Hachimura would profile as deeper-league adds if James sits.

Los Angeles Lakers forward Rui Hachimura (illness) has been cleared to play in Sunday's game against the Kings after missing two contests. The 28-year-old is averaging 9.0 points, 2.2 rebounds, 1.0 assists, 1.2 steals, and 1.4 triples over his last five games in 27.0 minutes and should slide back into a steady rotation role. If LeBron James (foot) sits, Hachimura could push past 26 minutes and gain streaming appeal in points leagues. Jake LaRavia and Jarred Vanderbilt would see slightly reduced upside with Hachimura active.

Houston Rockets forward Jabari Smith Jr. (ankle) remains out on Monday versus Washington. He tweaked his ankle during the 113-108 win over the Orlando Magic on Thursday and didn't suit up on Saturday in Miami. Reed Sheppard took his spot in the starting lineup, amassing 14 points, five assists, and four rebounds. Fantasy managers might see more production out of Sheppard against the Wizards, a team that has struggled defensively all year.

Atlanta Hawks forward Jalen Johnson (hip) will play on Sunday versus Portland. He suffered a left hip injury during Tuesday's 119-98 win over the Washington Wizards, keeping him off the floor for the rematch on Thursday evening. Jonathan Kuminga got the start in that one, ending with 17 points, nine rebounds, three assists, one steal, and one block. While Kuminga may head back to the bench, he still offers plenty of upside for fantasy managers due to the favorable matchup on the horizon.

Portland Trail Blazers forward Deni Avdija (back) won't suit up on Sunday against Atlanta. He's been dealing with the lower back injury for a while. Although the 25-year-old has played sparingly since the injury was first announced, the latest setback will now cost him a fourth-straight contest. Avdija has had a wonderful campaign, averaging a career-high 24.4 points with 7.0 rebounds, and 6.6 assists. His next chance to get on the floor will be on Wednesday in Memphis. With Shaedon Sharpe (leg) also sidelined, the Blazers should get extra production from Jerami Grant, Jrue Holiday, and Donovan Clingan. Kris Murray, who has amassed 7.8 points, 4.8 boards, and 1.1 steals in 14 starts this season, is expected to stay with the first-five until Avdija is back in the mix.

The Memphis Grizzlies announced on Sunday that center Zach Edey (ankle) will undergo another surgery to address "ongoing discomfort" in his left ankle. He is anticipated to recover fully, with "a timeline" regarding his recovery to be provided after the procedure. The 23-year-old appeared in 66 games as a rookie, averaging 9.2 points, 8.3 rebounds, and 1.3 blocks. He underwent surgery on his left ankle back on June 10. Unfortunately, Edey logged only 13 games throughout the 2025-26 campaign before he went back on the shelf. Fantasy managers shouldn't expect to see him on the floor for the remainder of the season. There is also reason to believe he may miss at least the start of training camp, although it's too early to speculate. While Edey is sidelined, Olivier-Maxence Prosper, coming off a 16-point, 10-rebound performance, should see the most minutes at the five, even if he's not starting. That should remain the case until Santi Aldama (knee) is cleared to suit up.

Los Angeles Clippers forward Kawhi Leonard (ankle) is off the injury report and expected to play Sunday against New Orleans. He sat out Thursday with left ankle soreness and missed practice due to illness, but he is ready to return. Leonard has been rolling, averaging 28.4 points, 7.2 rebounds, 3.8 assists, 1.6 steals, and 2.0 three-pointers across 32.1 minutes in his last five games. His return pushes Bennedict Mathurin back into a secondary role and trims Kris Dunn's usage. Leonard remains a must-start in all formats, with his recent workload easing concerns about durability.

Sacramento Kings guard Russell Westbrook (thigh) is off the injury report and expected to play Sunday against the Lakers. He sat out Thursday's win over Dallas due to a thigh contusion but is ready to return. Over his last five appearances, the veteran has averaged 15.2 points, 2.4 rebounds, 3.0 assists, and 1.4 three-pointers. His return likely sends Devin Carter back to the bench after Carter posted 15 points, seven rebounds, five assists, and four steals in 32 minutes in the last game. Westbrook remains a viable source of points and assists, though his shooting efficiency and fluctuating role can make him a bit unpredictable from night to night.

Cleveland Cavaliers guard Donovan Mitchell (groin) has been ruled out for Sunday's matchup with Brooklyn, marking his third straight absence. The team does not anticipate a long-term issue, though he remains day-to-day heading into Tuesday. If James Harden (thumb) is unable to play, Cleveland would have even more offensive workload and minutes to spread around the rotation. Jaylon Tyson started the last game and logged 41 minutes, finishing with 15 points, four rebounds, one assist, two steals, and four three-pointers. Sam Merrill added 20 points in 36 minutes, while Craig Porter Jr. recorded 12 assists in 32 minutes. Tyson profiles as the top short-term add, and Merrill remains a viable scoring streamer.

Philadelphia 76ers center Joel Embiid (oblique) will sit out the next three games after imaging confirmed a strain. The former MVP experienced right-side discomfort following Thursday's win and is targeting a potential return on March 7. With Embiid sidelined, Andre Drummond is expected to step into the starting role. In his last start on Feb. 22, Drummond logged 22 minutes and produced six points, nine rebounds, two assists, and one steal. Second-year big man Adem Bona added eight points and five rebounds in 20 minutes that night. Drummond profiles as a short-term rebounding streamer, while Tyrese Maxey should shoulder even heavier offensive usage.

Dallas Mavericks guard/forward Cooper Flagg (foot) has been ruled out for Sunday's matchup with Oklahoma City, stretching his absence to seven games because of a midfoot sprain. He is trending toward missing Tuesday as well. With P.J. Washington (ankle) doubtful and Naji Marshall (finger) carrying a questionable tag, Dallas may be forced to lean heavily on Brandon Williams, who owns a 26.3 percent usage rate in a reserve role. Max Christie, Khris Middleton, and Klay Thompson should also see added scoring responsibility.

New Orleans Pelicans forward/center Zion Williamson (ankle) will not return to Saturday's game against Utah after exiting in the second quarter. He finished with four points, two assists, and one rebound in 11 minutes before being shut down. If he misses time, New Orleans could lean more heavily on Karlo Matkovic and Derik Queen. Matkovic delivered eight points, six rebounds, five assists, and two blocks in 25 minutes, profiling mainly as a blocks streamer. Queen added seven points, nine rebounds, and three assists in 19 minutes and offers the more intriguing upside in deeper formats if the role expands.

Los Angeles Clippers guard Darius Garland (toe) is expected to make his team debut Monday against Golden State after being sidelined since Jan. 14. The All-Star guard, acquired at the trade deadline, is returning from toe issues that kept him out for several weeks. In 26 games prior to the move, he averaged 18.0 points, 6.9 assists, and 2.4 rebounds in 30.5 minutes. Garland's return should give the offense a steady playmaker next to Kawhi Leonard and likely trim Kris Dunn's role while reducing Bennedict Mathurin's on-ball opportunities. Garland profiles as a must-start in standard leagues if his minutes are not heavily restricted.

Utah Jazz guard Keyonte George (ankle) is available to play ahead of Saturday's game against the New Orleans Pelicans. It has been a tough month for George, who has only appeared in one contest during February. He has missed six straight games before getting cleared ahead of Saturday's contest. It wouldn't be shocking to see the Jazz have George under a minutes limit. Fantasy managers in season-long formats can go ahead and get George active in their lineups. The third-year guard won't be an ideal DFS choice, given his workload is unknown.

Golden State Warriors forward Draymond Green (back) is available to play ahead of Saturday's game against the Los Angeles Lakers. Green is returning after sitting out Wednesday's win over the Memphis Grizzlies due to lower back injury management. The expectation is that Green will have his full workload on Saturday. His return to the lineup should push Al Horford back to the bench. Horford won't be as appealing as a streaming option playing with the second unit. Fantasy managers can get Green active in their lineups ahead of tip-off.

Golden State Warriors guard De'Anthony Melton (knee) has been cleared to play ahead of Saturday's game against the Los Angeles Lakers. Melton is back in the mix after sitting out Wednesday's win due to left knee injury management. Given he has only missed one game, Melton should have his normal workload on Saturday. Over the last seven games, Melton is averaging 16.4 points, 2.7 rebounds, and 2.4 assists over 25.3 minutes per game. He's worth a look as a streaming option given his recent play.
