Overview

- Philadelphia’s frontcourt is in flux with Andre Drummond questionable, leading to value calls on Adem Bona and Dominick Barlow after productive recent outings.
- Portland starter Donovan Clingan is questionable with illness, and Robert Williams III is flagged as a GPP target if Clingan is limited or ruled out.
- Cleveland’s injuries keep Donovan Mitchell in core territory and position Dean Wade as a low-salary option with a clear path to minutes.
- Saturday’s guide confirmed Giannis Antetokounmpo’s return and highlighted shorthanded Warriors and Pelicans value, with Cade Cunningham featured among core plays.
