Player Notes

DeMarcus Cousins (ankle soreness) out SaturdayDeMarcus Cousins won't play on Saturday against the Spurs due to right ankle soreness.
Advice: Cousins hasn't made a huge fantasy impact this season, and his absence won't change too much. Christian Wood and P.J. Tucker will likely soak up his minutes. Rotoworld.comDeMarcus Cousins Hou - PF,CO -
Michael Porter Jr. (COVID) could return FridayMichael Malone said he hopes to have Michael Porter Jr. (COVID-protocols) back by next Friday when the Nuggets begin a five-game road trip, per Chris Dempsey of Altitude Sports.
Advice: MPJ has been out for over a week now after testing positive for COVID-19, so it's a great sign for fantasy managers that he is nearing a return. He was averaging nearly 20 points, seven rebounds, one steal and 1.5 blocks prior to his quarantine period, and the Nuggets could surely use him back in their lineup.

Al Horford (personal reasons) doubtful SundayAl Horford (personal reasons) is doubtful for Sunday when the Thunder host the Sixers.
Advice: Horford is set to miss his second straight game as he tends to issues off the court. Isaiah Roby has started in his place in the last two games, totaling 25 points, 13 rebounds and seven assists making him a decent waiver-wire add whenever Horford sits games.

Nerlens Noel (lower back) probable Sunday vs C'sNerlens Noel (lower back soreness) is probable for Sunday's contest vs the Celtics.
Advice: Noel had a season-high six blocks in 17 minutes on Friday against the Cavs so the Knicks are surely hoping their backup center will be good to go on Sunday. We wouldn't recommend Noel as a reliable pickup, but if you're in need of blocks and a field goal percentage boost, take a chance on him. Rotoworld.comNerlens Noel NY - PF,CGTD -
Kristaps Porzingis (left ankle) probable SundayKristaps Porzingis is listed as probable with a left ankle sprain on the Mavs latest injury report.
Advice: Porzingis played through his ankle sprain on Friday night so there's a good chance he'll play on Sunday against the Bulls. But the Mavs have a back-to-back as they visit the Raptors on Monday, and it's safe to think he'll miss one of those two games. Monitor his status before Sunday's tip-off.
