The Scoop: LaVine will be sidelined for a ninth straight game Friday and remains without a timetable to return. His next chance to play comes Sunday against the Bucks.

 The Scoop: As expected, Jackson-Davis is set to play through a knee issue after being listed as probable. The big man has reached the 20-minute mark just once in his last eight appearances, though an uptick in playing time in the frontcourt could be in the cards Friday due to the absence of Draymond Green (rest).

 The Scoop: This is a new issue for Jaquez, but it's not expected to force him to the sideline. Jaquez is averaging 20.1 points, 4.7 assists, 3.9 rebounds and 0.9 three-pointers on 57.1 percent shooting from the field over his last seven outings.

 The Scoop: Butler faces a quick turnaround if he wants to suit up for Saturday's game against the Jazz. With Stephen Curry (ankle) also out, plenty of usage is up for grabs Friday. Moses Moody and Will Richard appear to be strong streaming options.

 The Scoop: Curry is unable to suit up for the front end of this back-to-back set, and he can be considered questionable for Saturday's game against Utah. Draymond Green (rest) is also out, while Jimmy Butler (illness) is doubtful. That means the Warriors will likely lean heavily on Brandin Podziemski on Friday.

 The Scoop: Although Nembhard continues to hold onto the starting job, his production has really been lacking lately. Over his last 10 games, he's averaging 6.4 points, 5.7 assists, 2.1 rebounds and 0.6 three-pointers per game.

 The Scoop: This was another strong line for Jaquez, as he continues to put up solid fantasy numbers for the Heat. Over his last seven outings, he's averaging 20.1 points, 4.7 assists, 3.9 rebounds and 0.9 three-pointers on 57.1 percent shooting from the field.

 The Scoop: With Kyrie Irving (knee) lacking a return timetable and D'Angelo Russell falling out of head coach Jason Kidd's favor, Williams is carving out a solid role for himself in 2025-26. Over his last 10 games, the guard is averaging 13.7 points, 4.0 assists and 3.0 rebounds in 24.0 minutes per contest while shooting 50.5 percent from the field.

 The Scoop: It was a dreadful shooting display by Lopez, who saw fewer minutes than Yanic Konan Niederhauser on Thursday. Lopez should remain the top center while Ivica Zubac (ankle) is on the shelf, but it appears head coach Tyronn Lue is comfortable riding a hot-hand approach when applicable. Lopez has averaged 10.8 points, 5.2 rebounds, 2.2 assists and 1.4 blocks in 27.8 minutes per game in his last five outings (all starts).

 The Scoop: Butler is a late addition to the injury report, presumably because he woke up Friday under the weather. The Warriors are likely to wait until pregame warmups to determine if the star forward will be available. If Butler is out, Moses Moody and Will Richard would likely see a rise in minutes.
