Keegan Murray vs. Trail Blazers — Modest Floor Despite Frontcourt Absence
Keegan Murray enters healthy after playing through left ankle capsulitis on Nov. 8 and is expected to start at power forward. Precious Achiuwa's leg absence since Nov. 10 clears backup frontcourt competition, though Murray still shares touches with Zach LaVine and Domantas Sabonis. After averaging 25 minutes on cold shooting early, his roster rate has steadied around 50%.
Our models project Murray for 19 fantasy points and 10 points against an 8-3 Trail Blazers team. While the matchup carries an up-tempo scoring environment at Golden 1 Center, the 1-10 Kings are heavy home underdogs, creating blowout risk that could limit late-game run. Tonight starts a two-game weekend finish to a light three-game week.

Pelle Larsson vs. Cavaliers — Doubtful With Illness Ahead of Back-to-Back
Pelle Larsson enters Friday doubtful with an illness and is unlikely to take the court against Cleveland. Serving as Miami's primary backup wing behind probable starter Klay Thompson, Larsson has averaged 12 points and 3 assists in 28 minutes over his last six outings, though his roster rate has slipped from 56% to 45% over the past week.
Because of his doubtful tag, our projections currently zero out Larsson across the board tonight in a high-total home matchup at Kaseya Center against the 6-6 Cavaliers. Managers should bench him for now and monitor injury reports ahead of tipoff in case he is unexpectedly cleared. Looking at the rest of this week's slate, Miami wraps up with a home back-to-back against Detroit tomorrow, giving him another quick turnaround to return if the illness subsides.
