Fardaws Aimaq - Negative MRI results Aimaq (foot) revealed via his personal Twitter account, that he has received two MRI scans, neither of which were clean.
Impact Aimaq is likely to miss additional time after his MRI scans revealed additional issues with his foot. The 6-foot-11 senior has missed the last three games as a result of the injury, and he remains doubtful to return this week.

Lamar Washington - Eight points in massive comeback Washington accumulated eight points (3-5 FG, 0-2 3Pt, 2-4 FT), one rebound, one assist and two steals across 26 minutes during Monday's 80-77 OT victory over Iowa State.
Impact Washington saw very minimal usage off the bench during the Red Raiders' previous five games. However, he was pressed into a bigger role Monday with starting point guard Pop Isaacs (ankle) sitting out. Washington was able to step up by converting all three of his attempts from within the three-point arc. The 6-foot-4 freshman has now logged six games with at least two steals this season, and he's now averaged 0.8 while playing only 15.0 minutes per game. Washington could see a bigger role again if Isaacs remains sidelined Saturday at Baylor.

Kevin Obanor - Helps lead 23-point comeback Obanor amassed 24 points (5-11 FG, 3-5 3Pt, 11-15 FT), 13 rebounds, one assist and one steal in 42 minutes during Monday's 80-77 OT win over Iowa State.
Impact Obanor contributed 18 points in the second half and overtime to help push Texas Tech to its largest comeback in school history. The 6-foot-8 senior did so by forcing his way to the charity stripe for a season-high 15 free-throw attempts. Obanor struggled by converting 41.2 percent of his 9.7 field-goal attempts per game over the Red Raiders' first seven conference matchups. However, he's now posted at least 20 points in each of the past three outings, and he only totaled 10 free-throw tries in these previous two contests. Obanor is also still averaging 6.2 rebounds per game this season, making him one of the Big 12's better fantasy players.

Pop Isaacs - Not in uniform Monday night Isaacs (ankle) isn't in uniform ahead of Texas Tech's clash with Iowa State, Carlos Silva Jr. of the Lubbock Avalanche-Journal reports.
Impact Isaacs missed the Red Raiders' last game, and looks set to miss another as Texas Tech hosts the Cyclones. The starting point guard's absence is a big loss for the Red Raiders, although they were able to win their last game against Louisiana State without Isaacs. He's averaging 11.6 points, 1.9 rebounds and 2.8 assists on the season, and will likely be supplanted by De'Vion Harmon in the starting five.

Fardaws Aimaq - Unlikely to play Monday Aimaq (foot) is not in uniform during early warmups ahead of Monday's game against Iowa State, Carlos Silva Jr. of the Lubbock Avalanche-Journal reports.
Impact Aimaq missed the first two months of the season due to a foot injury. He was able to return to action Jan. 14 and start two of three games before aggravating his foot last Wednesday. As a result, it appears the 6-foot-11 senior will now miss his third game in a row, likely paving the way for sophomore Daniel Batcho to continue starting in his place.

De'Vion Harmon - Dishes out eight dimes Harmon logged 14 points (5-10 FG, 2-2 3Pt, 2-2 FT), four rebounds and eight assists in 34 minutes during Saturday's 76-68 win over LSU.
Impact Harmon posted his second-most assists of any game this season, helping create just under one-third of the Red Raiders' 25 made field goals. The 6-foot-2 guard also contributed the team's third-most points in this win, and he has now scored either 13 or 14 points in seven of the last 10 games. Harmon's additional 2.7 rebounds and 1.9 steals per game makes him a rather reliable fantasy option game to game.

Jaylon Tyson - Seven boards Saturday Tyson chipped in four points (1-4 FG, 2-4 FT), seven rebounds, one assist and two steals in 22 minutes during Saturday's 76-68 victory over LSU.
Impact Tyson posted his fewest number of field-goal attempts since the season opener against Northwestern State. He also didn't attempt a three-pointer for the first time this season, as he's now hit just six of his 24 field-goal tries over the past three contests. The 6-foot-7 sophomore has still posted at least seven rebounds in six of the last eight games, including back-to-back double-doubles versus Texas (14) and Baylor (12).

Elijah Fisher - Nine boards in 22 minutes Fisher provided five points (2-5 FG, 0-1 3Pt, 1-2 FT), nine rebounds, one block and two steals across 22 minutes during Saturday's 76-68 victory over LSU.
Impact Fisher played more than 20 minutes for the first time this season with starting point guard Pop Isaacs (ankle) and center Fardaws Aimaq (foot) both sidelined Saturday. As a result, the 6-foot-6 freshman also finished with a season high and team high in rebounds while coming off the bench versus LSU. Fisher previously appeared in four of Texas Tech's previous eight games, so it's likely his usage will continue to be tied to injuries within the team's starting lineup

Kerwin Walton - Lights out in first start with TTU Walton had 17 points (6-7 FG, 5-6 3Pt) and one rebound across 21 minutes during Saturday's 76-68 victory over LSU.
Impact Walton posted a season high in points after moving into the starting lineup Saturday. The North Carolina transfer previously played more than 20 minutes just once since mid-November, posting 12 points and two assists in 22 minutes versus Baylor on Jan. 17. Walton figures to see increased playing time so long as point guard Pop Isaacs (ankle) remains sidelined moving forward. Texas Tech's next game will come versus Iowa State on Monday.

Kevin Obanor - Unphased in Big 12-SEC challenge Obanor ended with 22 points (8-15 FG, 3-6 3Pt, 3-5 FT), four rebounds and one block across 36 minutes during Saturday's 76-68 victory over LSU.
Impact Obanor finished with a game-high 22 points Saturday following his 20-point performance in Texas Tech's previous game versus West Virginia. The 11-10 Red Raiders have struggled mightily as of late, losing each of their eight conference games this season. Obanor's shooting efficiency also took a dip from 49.8 percent on the season to just 43.2 percent during Big 12 play. He'll now look to carry the momentum from these back-to-back solid performances into Monday's tilt against Iowa State.

Kerwin Walton - Starting against LSU Walton will start for the Red Raiders as they travel to Baton Rouge to face LSU.
Impact Walton has been a rotational bench piece for the Red Raiders, but he'll get his first start of the season in Baton Rouge. The guard has been an impressive shooter, putting up 47.8/44.4/83.3 splits from his minutes off the bench.

Fardaws Aimaq - Won't play Saturday Aimaq (foot) has been ruled out for Saturday's game against LSU, Jeff Goodman of Stadium reports.
Impact Aimaq aggravated the foot injury that caused him to miss the first two months of the season ahead of Wednesday's matchup against West Virginia and will miss a second straight contest. Daniel Batcho, who started for Aimaq to begin the year, will likely be reinserted into the starting lineup.

Pop Isaacs - Won't play Saturday Isaacs (ankle) has been ruled out for Saturday's game against LSU, Jeff Goodman of Stadium reports.
Impact Isaacs sprained his right ankle during Wednesday's matchup against West Virginia and will remain sidelined for at least one contest. The severity of the injury remains unclear, but his next chance to suit up will arrive Monday against Iowa State. In Isaacs' absence, D'Maurian Williams and Lamar Washington are candidates to enter Texas Tech's starting lineup.

Impact Isaacs appeared to be in a lot of pain and was clutching at his right ankle on the floor before eventually being assisted back to the locker room. If the injury is as bad as it appears, Isaacs could be due for an extended absence and would present a significant loss for the Red Raiders. The 6-2 freshman has acclimated nicely to the collegiate level, averaging 12.1 points and 2.9 assists over 29.4 minutes per contest.
