Tarik Black scored 10 points on 4-for-6 shooting from the field against the Wizards on Friday. He also added 12 boards, two steals, and a block.

Fantasy Impact

Black got run on Friday with both Nene and Clint Capela unavailable to play. He took advantage as he managed to shoot efficiently and post solid defensive stats. That said, he is a streaming option if Capela and Nene remain unavailable. However, if either play, Black won't get enough minutes to be fantasy relevant.

Tarik Black will play on Friday against the Hornets despite a left hip contusion. With Nene out, Black could see a few more minutes behind Clint Capela.

Fantasy Impact

Black isn't on the fantasy radar despite the extra minutes with Nene out. However, Capela is a must-start even against Dwight Howard on Friday.

Tarik Black has agreed to terms with the Houston Rockets on Friday. Black will be third in the rotation behind Nene and Clint Capela.

Fantasy Impact

Black has some fantasy appeal in L.A. before Ivica Zubac's breakout and Larry Nance's return from injury. Leave Black off your fantasy roster.

Tarik Black has been waived by the Lakers as the team will move forward with Brook Lopez at center and Ivica Zubac will be the backup.

Fantasy Impact

Black was owed $6.6 million guaranteed if he wasn't waived by July 4th. He could re-sign with the team or sign on with another team. Either way, he's not a fantasy option.

Tarik Black has been ruled out for Sunday against the Grizzlies. Julius Randle and Larry Nance will continue to start at the four and five with Thomas Robinson seeing a huge uptick in minutes.

Fantasy Impact

Randle is the best frontcourt player on the Lakers but Thomas Robinson could be the most intriguing DFS plays of the day. Robinson is one of the better value plays of the day.
