J.R. Smith ejected for Flagrant-2 foul

J.R. Smith was ejected for a Flagrant-2 foul committed against Harrison Barnes of the Warriors on Monday, and finished with nine points on 3-of-11 shooting (no threes), zero rebounds and one assist in 21 minutes.

Smith did not have a steal or block, either, and the foul ended a frustration night for him. Most observers have said that they expect the foul to be downgraded to a Flagrant-1 and no suspension is likely.

Terrence Jones (hip strain) is questionable

Terrence Jones suffered a right hip strain in the first half and his return is questionable.

He had some nerve damage to his right leg and it took him over three months to really get going again, so hopefully this strain doesn't cause a setback there. He left the game with three points, two rebounds, one steal and one block in 11 minutes. Donatas Motiejunas and Joey Dorsey will have to step up.

P.J. Tucker checks in for the Suns

P.J. Tucker checked in for the Suns on Friday with three minutes left in the first quarter.

He missed the team bus today, which is the second time it's happened this season. The last time he missed the bus, he missed a game in Boston back in November. He should slot into Marcus Morris' rotational minutes and we'll let you know who starts the second half.

Marcus Morris starting, P.J. Tucker benched

Marcus Morris will replace P.J. Tucker in the starting lineup for Friday's game vs. Brooklyn.

Tucker is being benched because he missed the bus to shootaround, so it sounds like this could be a one-time thing. Morris' numbers as a starter or a reserve are nearly identical, so he's not going to see a major bump in value just because he's starting.

Henry Walker will start Friday vs. Washington

Henry Walker will replace Luol Deng (thigh) in the starting lineup for Friday's game against the Wizards.

Walker is capable of the occasional scoring outburst, and he'll have plenty of opportunity tonight with both Deng and Dwyane Wade (hip) on the shelf, so he's worth a look as a plug-and-play option in daily leagues. James Ennis and Michael Beasley will see extended minutes off the bench.

Mario Chalmers, Chris Andersen are active

Mario Chalmers (knee) and Chris Andersen (body) are active for Friday.

The Heat are starting Tyler Johnson over Chalmers, which shows how much confidence they have in Johnson right now. Chalmers is still going to get a chance to play 24-30 minutes and is worth a look as a spot-starter in some leagues.

Tyler Johnson (ankle) will start on Friday

Tyler Johnson (ankle) will start against the Wizards on Friday.

The Heat won't have Dwyane Wade tonight due to a hip injury and he could miss more time. Johnson did have a career-high 26 points on Monday and he's earned some playing time. He's worth a look in deep leagues.

Luol Deng (thigh) out Friday vs. Washington

Luol Deng (thigh) has been ruled out for Friday's game vs. the Wizards.

Miami is going to be hurting for healthy bodies in this one with both Dwyane Wade (hip) and Deng out. Goran Dragic will likely run the show on offense, and if there were ever a time for Michael Beasley to step up as a scorer, this would be it. Henry Walker will step into the starting lineup, while James Ennis and Beasley will have the opportunity to pick up some extended minutes tonight. Both Walker and Beasley are worth a look in daily leagues.

Dwyane Wade (hip) out for Friday night

Dwyane Wade (hip) will not play against the Wizards on Friday.

Wow. The Heat are in deep trouble with their depth. They will start Tyler Johnson and he could get some big minutes tonight. Goran Dragic is going to get his best chance to shine tonight and could have himself a big night. As for Wade, it's tough to tell how much time he's going to miss and he should be considered questionable for Saturday.

Jae Crowder will start Friday vs. New Orleans

Jae Crowder will slide into the starting lineup for Friday's game vs. the Pelicans with Avery Bradley (elbow) sidelined, shifting Evan Turner over to the two-spot.

Crowder will likely see a boost in value running with the starting unit, and he'll look to keep his momentum going after putting up 18 points during his last game. Head coach Brad Stevens said he elected to go with Crowder instead of Isaiah Thomas because he doesn't want to disturb Thomas' rhythm with the second unit. However, Thomas will likely come into the game early, and Boston will look to him as their go-to guy on offense, so he'll see a boost in value as well with Bradley out.

James Johnson to come off the bench Friday

James Johnson will come off the bench for Friday's game against the Hornets.

Head coach Dwane Casey said that he'll be shuffling guys in and out of the starting lineup based on the matchup for the final 21 games of the season, so this is him staying true to his word. Terrence Ross will replace Johnson in the starting lineup tonight, but he could just as easily head to the bench in the next one. Johnson is still worth owning in standard leagues.

Terrence Jones, Pat Beverley will play Friday

Terrence Jones (back) and Patrick Beverley (foot) will play against the Pistons on Friday.

The good news is that this isn't his lingering leg issue. Jones has been one of the most improved players after the break and he's put up top-10 fantasy value since the start of the second half. He has to be in all lineups tonight. His status also makes the Josh Smith revenge game less appealing.
