Westbrook closed Thursday's 134-133 overtime loss to the Trail Blazers with 20 points (8-11 FG, 4-4 FT), three rebounds and 10 assists over 35 minutes.

Westbrook's fingerprints were all over this game to close regulation, as Sacramento came roaring back to force overtime against the Trail Blazers. Coach Doug Christie continues to let Westbrook fill the starting point guard role, as Dennis Schroder played 22 minutes while Westbrook saw 35 minutes of action. Westbrook has upped his averages nearly across the board as a member of the Kings, compared to his time last season with the Nuggets.

Wiggins (back) is questionable for Friday's game against the Celtics.

Wiggins is dealing with a bout of lower-back pain after posting 10 points, four rebounds, two assists and two steals in 33 minutes during Thursday's win in Brooklyn. If the veteran forward needs to sit out, Kel'el Ware and Jaime Jaquez would be in line to see extra minutes at power forward.

Towns (knee) is probable for Friday's game against the 76ers.

After missing the front end of this back-to-back set Thursday, Towns is expected back in the lineup. Presumably, the Knicks were just being cautious with Towns following their NBA Cup run. With Towns expected back, Ariel Hukporti will likely slide back to the bench after logging 27 minutes Thursday.

Herro (toe) will not play against Boston on Friday.

Herro will be sidelined for a third straight game Friday. The Heat have labeled the star guard as day-to-day, so fantasy managers can consider him questionable for Sunday's game against the Knicks.

Embiid won't play Friday against the Knicks due to an illness and right knee injury management.

Despite going through shootaround, Embiid was unable to shake off his questionable tag. The 76ers may have been planning to hold Embiid out for Friday's contest all along, as he has yet to be cleared to play in both ends of back-to-back sets. Look for Andre Drummond to see the bulk of the minutes at center Friday, but Embiid could be back in the starting five Saturday versus the Mavericks.

DeRozan accumulated 33 points (10-16 FG, 3-4 3Pt, 10-10 FT), four rebounds, three assists and two steals over 35 minutes during Thursday's 134-133 overtime loss to Portland.

It was a vintage DeRozan night, as the veteran finished with 33 points on only 16 shots. He also made all 10 of his free throws. His scoring total matched a season high from November, when he also scored 33 against Minnesota. Now in year 17, DeRozan's scoring average (18.2) is below 20 points per game for the first time since the 2012-13 season. Still, DeRozan is good for an occasional scoring burst and decent overall fantasy production.

Goodwin totaled nine points (3-12 FG, 1-7 3Pt, 2-4 FT), six rebounds, three assists, one block and two steals across 30 minutes during Thursday's 99-98 win over Golden State.

While it wasn't an efficient shooting display, Goodwin provided a full stat line during Thursday's low-scoring affair. His spot in the rotation remains safe for now, though it sounds like Jalen Green (hamstring) is inching closer to returning, and Grayson Allen (knee) appears to be just day-to-day. Over his last nine outings, Goodwin has averaged 9.9 points, 4.0 rebounds, 2.1 assists and 1.6 steals in 22.7 minutes per game.

Young (knee) is out for Friday's game against Spurs.

With Friday being the second leg of a back-to-back, it doesn't come as much of a surprise that the Hawks are holding Young out due to right knee injury management. The superstar guard logged 20 minutes during Thursday's 133-126 loss to the Hornets in what was his first game back in the lineup since Oct. 29. Nickeil Alexander-Walker should jump right back into the first unit Friday, and Vit Krejci is also worth streaming in category-based leagues.

Pickett totaled nine points (3-7 FG, 3-6 3Pt), three rebounds and seven assists over 24 minutes during Thursday's 126-115 win over the Magic.

With several players injured in Denver, Pickett has emerged with some solid performances recently. Over his last three appearances, Pickett has averaged 6.7 points, 4.7 assists, 4.0 rebounds, 1.0 steals and 2.0 three-pointers in 21.6 minutes per contest.

Ighodaro closed Thursday's 99-98 victory over the Warriors with two points (1-3 FG), 13 rebounds, one block and five steals across 28 minutes.

Ighodaro stood out for his defensive performance against the Warriors, notching season-high tallies in rebounds and steals. The 23-year-old also saw his most minutes over his last six appearances. However, he has been part of the second unit for almost every game, which isn't likely to change with Mark Williams, Nick Richards and Khaman Maluach all competing for minutes.
