According to Miami Heat head coach Erik Spoelstra, forward Andrew Wiggins (hip) is "day-to-day." The 30-year-old has played well this season, averaging 16.7 points, 4.9 rebounds, 2.8 assists, and 1.1 steals. He also appeared in all 15 games so far this season. While Wiggins will miss his first contest of the 2025 campaign on Friday night when the Heat host the Chicago Bulls, there's a chance he'll be available on Sunday afternoon versus the 76ers. There are several directions Spoelstra can go while Wiggins is sidelined, although all of them should mean more minutes for Simone Fontecchio and Jaime Jaquez Jr., with the latter potentially on track to enter the starting lineup.

Charlotte Hornets forward Brandon Miller (shoulder) is available to make his return to the lineup on Saturday afternoon against the Los Angeles Clippers. The third-year forward injured his shoulder in the second game of the season and has been inactive since. There's no word on any potential minutes restriction for the former second-overall pick. Rookie guard Sion James (groin) has been starting in Miller's place and should move back to the bench in short order. Miller scored 25 points and dished out seven assists in his one full game this season.

New York Knicks guard Jalen Brunson (ankle) is probable for Saturday's contest against the Orlando Magic. There's little worry here about Brunson sitting this one out. The All-NBA guard returned to action on Wednesday in Dallas after a two-game absence and played 34 minutes, right in line with his season-long average. He scored 28 points against the Mavericks, also in line with his scoring average. The reigning Clutch Player of the Year has seen a slight dip in his shooting percentages, but remains one of the league's best guards.

Utah Jazz forward Kyle Filipowski (wrist) is available to play in Friday night's NBA Cup group play tilt with the Oklahoma City Thunder. The second-year forward missed just one game, on Tuesday night, with a wrist sprain. The former Duke Blue Devil hasn't built on a successful rookie season. He's seen a decrease in minutes, points, rebounds, and shooting percentage in his second year. Filipowski hasn't started a game since the calendar flipped to November and isn't on fantasy basketball radars right now.
