NBC SportsTy Jerome (knee) and Dean Wade (illness) will remain sidelined against the Spurs on Friday.

This will be a fifth-straight absence for Jerome, while Wade will miss his second in a row. De'Andre Hunter, Isaac Okoro and Sam Merrill will once again fill out the majority of the reserve minutes. Hunter is the best fantasy option, though Merrill should provide some three-point value.

NBC SportsTy Jerome (knee) has been ruled out against the Pistons on Friday.

Jerome will miss a second-straight game with this knee issue, which means there will be extra minutes off the bench for De'Andre Hunter and Sam Merrill. Max Strus (ankle) is also out, so one of Hunter or Merrill will likely get the start. Craig Porter Jr. will also have a chance to take on extra minutes.
