R. Rubio PG

Ricky Rubio (knee) resting Friday for Cavaliers

Cleveland Cavaliers point guard Ricky Rubio (left knee injury management) is out Friday versus the Oklahoma City Thunder.

What It Means:

Rubio will rest in the second half of a back-to-back after he played 17 minutes on Thursday and scored 5 points (2-7 field goals, 1-2 3-pointers) with 3 rebounds, 7 assists, and 1 steal. Donovan Mitchell (groin) is doubtful for Friday, so Darius Garland and Caris LeVert are expected to start in the backcourt again, with Raul Neto and Cedi Osman absorbing more minutes off the bench.

Through seven games since returning from ACL surgery, Rubio has a 19.1% usage rate and is averaging 0.87 FanDuel points per minute. Per numberFire's NBA Heat Map, the Cavs’ implied total (110.5) is No. 9 out of 10 active teams Friday.

Heat's Haywood Highsmith (shin) available on Friday

Miami Heat small forward Haywood Highsmith (shin) is available for Friday's contest against the Orlando Magic.

What It Means:

Highsmith will be active in a potential second unit role after the third year forward was listed as available.

According to Rotogrinders' Court IQ in 676.3 minutes this season, Highsmith is averaging 0.67 FanDuel points per minute and a 12.7% usage rate.

C. Martin PG

Caleb Martin (quad) available for Miami's Friday matchup versus Orlando

Miami Heat guard Caleb Martin (quad) will play in Friday's game against the Orlando Magic.

What It Means:

Martin will suit up against his intrastate rivals after Miami's guard was designated as available. In 28.2 expected minutes, numberFIre's models project Martin to score 20.6 FanDuel points.

Martin's Friday projection includes 8.7 points, 4.6 rebounds, and 1.6 assists.

K. Love FC

Kevin Love (back) remaining out Friday for Cavaliers

Cleveland Cavaliers forward/center Kevin Love (back) will remain out Friday versus the Oklahoma City Thunder.

What It Means:

Love will miss a second straight game after sitting out Thursday's win over the Houston Rockets. Cedi Osman and Dean Wade will have more minutes available off the bench again.

Per numberFire's NBA Heat Map, the Cavs’ implied total (110.5) is No. 9 out of 10 active teams Friday. Osman scored 15.9 FanDuel points and Wade scored 28.1 FanDuel points on Thursday with Love inactive. They both have $3,900 FanDuel salaries on Friday.

D. Mitchell SG

Cleveland's Donovan Mitchell (groin) doubtful on Friday

Cleveland Cavaliers guard Donovan Mitchell (groin) is doubtful to play in Friday's game against the Oklahoma City Thunder.

What It Means:

Mitchell looks like he will miss his second straight game after Cleveland's star was listed as doubtful. Expect Caris LeVert to see an increased offensive role versus a Thunder team allowing 42.5 FanDuel points per game to shooting guards this season.

Per Rotogrinders' Court IQ in 656.7 minutes this season with Mitchell off the floor, LeVert is averaging 0.91 FanDuel points per minute and a 22.5% usage rate.

M. Porter PF

Denver's Michael Porter Jr. (personal) questionable on Saturday

Denver Nuggets forward Michael Porter Jr. (personal) is questionable to play in Saturday's game against the Philadelphia 76ers.

What It Means:

While Porter was able to participate in Friday's practice after he missed three games for personal reasons, the 24-year old's availability remains in question on Saturday. Expect Bruce Brown to play an increased role versus a Philly unit ranked seventh in defensive rating if Porter Jr. is ruled out.

Porter Jr.'s current Saturday projection includes 14.9 points, 6.2 rebounds, and 1.5 assists.
