Gordon (hamstring) isn't listed on the injury report for Friday's game against the Raptors.

Gordon sat out Wednesday's loss to Memphis -- the second half of a back-to-back set -- due to right hamstring injury management. However, the veteran forward is set to rejoin the lineup Friday. Spencer Jones should retreat to the second unit with Gordon back in action, though the former will likely still see meaningful playing time in the absence of Peyton Watson (hamstring).

Gibson is doubtful to play Friday versus the Celtics due to soreness in his right foot.

It looks like Gibson will skip the first leg of this back-to-back set, and we should get official confirmation on his status closer to Friday's tipoff. Taylor Hendricks could see a minor uptick in minutes with Gibson unavailable.

Jackson is doubtful for Friday's game against the Celtics due to left knee soreness.

Friday is the first half of this back-to-back, so the Grizzlies could have an eye on Jackson being available for Saturday's matchup against the Hornets. With the third-year forward in line to sit out versus Boston, Taylor Hendricks and Olivier-Maxence Prosper are both worthy of streaming consideration in most fantasy leagues.

Kuminga (knee) has been ruled out for Friday's game in Houston.

Kuminga will hit the sidelines for the first leg of this back-to-back set, but he'll likely be able to get back out there for Saturday's game against the Warriors. Kuminga's absence will open up minutes for Corey Kispert and Zaccharie Risacher.

Krejci (calf) is questionable for Friday's game against the Timberwolves.

Krejci is in danger of missing a third consecutive contest due to a left calf contusion. If the 25-year-old is unable to give it a go Friday, Kris Murray and Blake Wesley would be candidates to see a slight bump in minutes.

Reid (ankle) is questionable for Friday's game against the Trail Blazers.

Reid is in danger of missing his second straight game, but we'll have a better idea on his status based on his activity level at shootaround. If he's unable to give it a go, Kyle Anderson could see an uptick in minutes and Joan Beringer will have a chance to get into the rotation.

Murray-Boyles (thumb) is listed as doubtful for Friday's game against the Nuggets.

Murray-Boyles is expected to miss a 10th consecutive contest due to a sprained left thumb. If the rookie first-rounder is ultimately ruled out, Sandro Mamukelashvili and Jamison Battle would be candidates for increased playing time.

Cryer is probable for Friday's game against the Pistons due to left hamstring injury management.

Following a two-game absence, Cryer looks ready to rejoin the lineup Friday. Over his last six games, the rookie has averaged 9.5 points, 2.3 rebounds, 0.8 assists and 2.2 three-pointers in 17.9 minutes per contest while shooting 40.6 percent from beyond the arc.

Hart (knee) won't play in Friday's game against the Nets.

Hart will miss Friday's contest due to a right knee issue, and his next opportunity to play will come Sunday against Washington. With the veteran swingman sidelined, Landry Shamet will likely enter the starting five, while Mohamed Diawara and Jordan Clarkson are also candidates to see increased playing time.

Brunson (ankle/neck) is off the injury report for Friday's game against the Nets.

After sitting out Tuesday's win over the Pacers due to right ankle injury management and a cervical strain, the All-Star point guard practiced Thursday and is ready to roll for Friday. Jose Alvarado will likely head back to the bench versus Brooklyn. Brunson has scored at least 24 points in five straight appearances, during which he's averaging 27.8 points, 8.2 assists, 4.0 rebounds and 1.4 steals in 37.1 minutes per game.
