Fantasy News

Zeke Nnaji

Ruled out Friday Nnaji has been dealing with tendinitis on his right thigh for quite some time, and Friday will mark his sixth consecutive absence. His next chance to play will come against the Cavaliers on Sunday.

Sasha Vezenkov

Listed as questionable Vezenkov has been sidelined since early February, but he's trending in the right direction and is considered day-to-day. If he gets the green light, Vezenkov could work his way back into the rotation. On the season, the forward is averaging 12.6 minutes per game.

Sidy Cissoko

Back with Austin Cissoko has been moving up and down between San Antonio and Austin, but he has spent most of the campaign playing in the G League. He'll be available for Austin in the final two games of the G League regular season, as the team is still alive in the race for a playoff berth.

Dominick Barlow

Back to G League Barlow rarely sees the floor for San Antonio unless the Spurs aren't at full strength. In Wednesday's win over the Jazz, Barlow played just two minutes.

Rudy Gobert

Iffy for Friday Gobert has been able to play through his rib sprain in three straight games, playing at least 34 minutes in all three. He's still considered day-to-day, however, so fantasy managers will want to monitor this situation closely.

Sam Hauser

Back to bench role Thursday The Celtics will feature their regular starting unit of Jrue Holiday, Derrick White, Jaylen Brown, Jayson Tatum and Kristaps Porzingis, so it's not surprising to see Hauser heading back to his regular bench role. Hauser is averaging 11.9 points per game while shooting 47.8 percent from three-point range since the beginning of March.

Anthony Edwards

Questionable for Friday The Timberwolves have listed Edwards as questionable throughout March with various injuries, but he's yet to miss a game. Managers can expect to get official confirmation on the Ant-Man's status closer to Friday's tip.

Jaylen Clark

Heads to G League for rehab Clark was a second-round pick by the Timberwolves but has yet to play this season while recovering from an Achilles surgery he underwent during his final collegiate season at UCLA in 2022-23. It's unclear if he'll be cleared to play before the end of his rookie campaign, but it's encouraging to see the youngster ramping up in the G League.

Jordan Clarkson

Out again Friday Clarkson will miss a second straight game Friday, and it's usually not a good sign if he's getting ruled out a day in advance. In Clarkson's absence Wednesday against the Spurs, both Keyonte George and Collin Sexton played a ton of minutes, while Brice Sensabaugh played just 13 minutes off the bench.

Johnny Juzang

Questionable for Friday Juzang missed Wednesday's loss to the Spurs and is now in danger of missing a second consecutive contest. However, even if he's available, he's not expected to impact the rotation significantly.

Lauri Markkanen

Questionable for Friday This is the first we're hearing of a shoulder injury for Markkanen, but we'll have a better idea on his status for Friday night based on his activity level at shootaround. If he is forced to the sidelines, that would open up minutes for Johnny Juzang (back) and Brice Sensabaugh.

Josh Green

Now listed out for Friday Green wasn't listed on the Mavericks' initial injury report for Friday's game, but Afseth confirms that was a mistake, as Green continues to rehab from a right ankle sprain. Green hasn't played since March 14. His next chance to suit up will come Sunday in Houston.

Keldon Johnson

Questionable for Friday Johnson missed the Wednesday game against the Jazz due to knee soreness, and the Spurs will wait until Friday to make a decision on the prolific forward. Johnson is averaging 16.2 points, 5.7 rebounds and 1.9 assists per game since the beginning of March.

MarJon Beauchamp

Available Thursday As expected, Beauchamp has been upgraded from probable to available. However, the Bucks are at full strength, so he's not guaranteed playing time.

Khris Middleton

Available to face New Orleans As has been the trend in recent games, Middleton will suit up and handle his regular workload despite battling an ankle issue. Middleton is averaging 16.8 points, 7.5 assists and 6.3 rebounds in 31.0 minutes per game over his last four appearances.

Giannis Antetokounmpo

Will play Thursday Antetokounmpo was listed as "probable," so there was never much doubt about his status for Thursday night, but now we have official confirmation that he'll be out there. Make sure you've got him active.

OG Anunoby

Won’t play Friday Anunoby is set to spend his sixth straight game on the sidelines, and considering he hasn't been able to do much more than be a limited participant at shootaround, it seems unlikely that Anunoby will return for Sunday's game against the Thunder. Josh Hart, Donte DiVincenzo and Miles McBride will continue to pick up the slack in his absence.

Nikola Jokic

Expected to play Friday Jokic continues to manage hip and back inflammation but is expected to suit up for a third straight game after taking a seat for last Saturday's win over Portland. Over his last two appearances -- both without Jamal Murray (knee) -- Jokic has totaled 52 points, 20 rebounds, 18 assists, five steals and two blocks. Murray is questionable for Friday's contest.

Josh Green

Not listed in injury report Green is trending in the right direction to return to the hardwood, and he should be in line to see some minutes, even if it's off the bench, against the Kings, another potential playoff team in the Western Conference. Green is averaging 5.4 points per game since the beginning of March but hasn't played since March 14.

Jonathan Kuminga

Listed as questionable Kuminga missed Wednesday's win over the Magic with knee soreness, and how he feels Friday will be pivotal in determining whether he can return to his regular starting role or not. Kuminga is averaging 19.4 points, 4.6 rebounds and 2.3 assists per game across 13 starts in March. If he can't go, then Trayce Jackson-Davis and Moses Moody could get the starting nod, while Klay Thompson would have a more prominent role off the bench.

Jamal Murray

Questionable for Friday Murray has missed three straight games due to right knee inflammation and will likely be a game-time decision Friday. If the starting point remains sidelined, Reggie Jackson should draw another start, while Collin Gillespie sees increased playing time off the bench.

Dario Saric

Questionable for Friday Saric is a negligible part of the Warriors' rotation, so whether he's cleared for Friday's game won't make much of an impact in fantasy hoops. Check back for another update following Friday's shootaround.

Dejounte Murray

Good to go Thursday Murray will shake off a questionable tag and extend his consecutive games played streak to 21. Over his last 10 appearances, Murray has averaged 27.7 points, 9.3 assists, 4.9 rebounds and 2.6 steals in 37.5 minutes per game.

Maxi Kleber

Questionable for Friday Kleber has been listed as "questionable" the past two games due to a sore right knee, but he's been playing through it, so he feels a bit closer to probable. We should get another update on Kleber following Friday's shootaround.

Alec Burks

Questionable for Friday Burks could be in line to miss a third straight game with a shoulder sprain, but even if he's available, his presence won't alter many fantasy lineups. The veteran guard is logging just 12.4 minutes per game since the beginning of March.

Luka Doncic

Iffy due to Achilles soreness Doncic continues to battle left Achilles soreness but has appeared in five straight and 23 of Dallas' last 24 games. Over his last five starts, Doncic has averaged 29.2 points, 10.4 rebounds, 9.2 assists and 2.0 steals in 37.6 minutes per game.

Shai Gilgeous-Alexander

Doubtful for Friday Gilgeous-Alexander missed Wednesday's overtime loss to the Rockets due to a right quadriceps contusion, so it remains to be seen whether he'll be able to tolerate the pain enough to play, or if the Thunder will remain cautious with his recovery process given their position in the standings. If Gilgeous-Alexander ends up being ruled out Friday, then Cason Wallace could remain in the starting lineup.

Damion Lee

Remains out against OKC Lee has yet to resume on-court activities and has no clear timetable for his return, so he might miss the rest of the regular season and possibly the playoffs. The veteran guard has yet to play in 2023-24.

Jusuf Nurkic

Questionable for Friday Nurkic missed Wednesday's game due to a sprained ankle, which resulted in Drew Eubanks drawing a spot-start and he finished with five points, four rebounds and an assist over 27 minutes. If Nurkic needs to miss another game, Eubanks would likely get another start, but he's not the most attractive target in fantasy hoops.

Jrue Holiday

Gets green light Holiday will return Thursday following a five-game absence due to a right shoulder sprain. The Celtics' regular rotation, save for Al Horford (toe/rest), is healthy for the first time in a couple of weeks as Boston looks to avenge an ugly loss to Atlanta on Monday.

Taj Gibson

Still sidelined Gibson's absence streak will extend to six games Friday due to a right hamstring strain. There is no timetable for the veteran big man's return.

Quentin Grimes

Will remain out Friday Grimes hasn't suited up since March 13 and has made just six appearances since Jan. 30. His next chance to play will come Monday versus Memphis, but he doesn't have an official return timetable.

Cade Cunningham

Iffy against Washington Cunningham continues to pop up on Detroit's injury report due to left knee injury management. If the 22-year-old guard is ruled out, Marcus Sasser will likely replace him in the starting lineup.

Jaden Ivey

Questionable for Friday We'll have a better idea on Ivey's status for Friday's game based on his activity level at shootaround, but if he is able to return from a one-game absence, Chimezie Metu would likely head back to the second unit.

Simone Fontecchio

Won’t play Friday Friday will mark Fontecchio's seventh straight game on the inactive list, and considering there haven't been any reports of him practicing and he continues to get ruled out 24 hours in advance of tip-off, it's safe to assume he's still not close. He belongs on the waiver wire in re-draft formats.

Noah Clowney

Probable for Friday It sounds like Clowney will power through the back issue Friday night, but he's not a large enough part of the rotation to merit much attention in most leagues.

Cameron Johnson

Won’t play Friday Johnson is slated to miss a third straight game due to a left toe sprain. His next chance to suit up will come Sunday versus the Lakers. Cam Thomas, Dennis Schroder and Mikal Bridges should continue to play elevated minutes for the shorthanded Nets.

Jerami Grant

Unlikely to play against Miami Grant is expected to miss his 10th straight contest Friday while dealing with a right hamstring strain. With Toumani Camara (ribs) out, the Trail Blazers will likely be left short-handed in the forward rotation.

Dennis Smith

Probable for Friday Smith has missed the past two games due to a hip injury, but this is the first time he's been listed as probable since going down, which is encouraging. If Smith is able to get back out there, Jacob Gilyard could fall out of the rotation entirely.

Malcolm Brogdon

Remains out Brogdon hasn't played since Feb. 2 due to right elbow tendinitis, but he hopes to play again this season. That outcome grows more unlikely by the day, especially considering the Trail Blazers are out of the playoff picture, but the veteran's next chance to suit up will come Monday in Miami.

Matisse Thybulle

Questionable for Friday Thybulle is in danger of missing his sixth straight contest Friday while dealing with a right ankle injury. With Toumani Camara (ribs) out and Jerami Grant (hamstring) doubtful, Kris Murray, Rayan Rupert and Dalana Banton could be in store for increased playing time.

Toumani Camara

Dealing with rib contusion With Camara sidelined and Jerami Grant (hamstring) doubtful, Jabari Walker is a candidate to start at power forward and play heavy minutes. The severity of Camara's injury remains unclear, but his next chance to suit up will come Monday in Orlando.

Deandre Ayton

Questionable against Miami Ayton is in danger of missing his fifth straight contest Friday due to left elbow tendinitis. If Ayton is ruled out, Duop Reath will likely draw another start at center.

Anfernee Simons

Ruled out for Friday Simons will miss a fourth straight game due to left knee tendinitis. Rayan Rupert should draw another start in Simons' absence, but Dalano Banton continues to shine offensively for the shorthanded Trail Blazers. Simons' next chance to suit up will come Monday in Orlando.

Davis Bertans

Probable for Friday Bertans will likely extend his streak of consecutive games played to 16 on Friday despite showing up on the injury report. Over his last 15 appearances, the sharpshooter has averaged 8.4 points, 2.0 rebounds, 1.1 assists and 0.8 steals in 22.6 minutes per game.

Xavier Tillman

Good to go Thursday Tillman has been upgraded from questionable to available Thursday after missing Boston's previous contest due to left knee inflammation. With Al Horford (toe) out, Tillman could receive increased playing time.

Jaden Springer

Out Thursday Springer isn't a consistent part of the rotation, so his absence shouldn't impact fantasy hoops. His next chance to suit up will come Saturday in New Orleans.

Al Horford

Ruled out against Atlanta Horford has been downgraded from questionable to out Thursday due to a sprained left big toe. Xavier Tillman and Luke Kornet are candidates to receive increased playing time in his absence. Horford's next chance to suit up is Saturday's matchup with the Pelicans.

Patrick Beverley

Good to go against New Orleans Despite dealing with a torn ligament in his right wrist, Beverley doesn't plan to miss any time. The veteran guard has averaged 4.4 points, 3.0 rebounds and 1.9 assists in 22.1 minutes across his last 10 appearances.

Gary Harris

Off injury report Harris has missed the past two games due to a foot injury, but it looks like he'll be back in action Friday night, which could result in fewer minutes for Cole Anthony and Caleb Houston. Harris could be viewed as a potential low-end, 3-point specialist in deep leagues, but he's too inconsistent to roster in standard formats.

LeBron James

Iffy against Indiana James continues to deal with a left ankle injury that will likely cause him to be listed as questionable ahead of every contest for the remainder of the season. If the superstar forward is ruled out, Taurean Prince and Cam Reddish are candidates to receive increased playing time.

Eugene Omoruyi

Out again Friday Omoruyi will miss a sixth straight game due to a left ankle sprain. His next chance to suit up will come Sunday versus the Heat.

Landry Shamet

Still out Shamet's absence streak due to a left calf strain will reach double figures Friday. He doesn't have a timetable to return, but his next chance to suit up will come Sunday versus the Heat.

Richaun Holmes

Out Friday Holmes left Wednesday's loss to the Nets early due to a left toe contusion and will miss at least one additional contest. Marvin Bagley should start at center in Holmes' absence, but Tristan Vukevic, Patrick Baldwin and Anthony Gill are also candidates for extra minutes.

Anthony Davis

Questionable for Friday Davis missed Wednesday's game in Memphis, which resulted in Jaxson Hayes drawing a spot-start, and he finished with 14 points, seven rebounds, one assist, one steal, one block and one turnover across 30 minutes. If AD is forced to miss another game, Hayes would make sense as a potential streaming option.

Tyus Jones

Won’t play Friday Jones hasn't played since March 14 due to a back sprain and doesn't have a return timetable. Jordan Poole and Corey Kispert should continue starting in Washington's backcourt, while Jones' next chance to suit up will come Sunday versus the Heat.

Dean Wade

Won’t play Friday Wade hasn't played since March 8. He was away from the team at first due to personal reasons but suffered a knee injury trying to ramp up for game action following his return. Wade's next chance to suit up will come Sunday in Denver, but he doesn't have an official return timetable.

Darius Garland

Likely to play against Philadelphia Garland hasn't missed a game since Jan. 27 and isn't expected to do so Friday despite dealing with a right ankle sprain. With Donovan Mitchell (nose) questionable, the Cavaliers could start their optimal backcourt against Philadelphia.

Donovan Mitchell

Officially questionable for Friday Mitchell has missed six straight games due to knee and nasal injuries, but he's trending in the right direction. Shams Charania of The Athletic reported Wednesday that Mitchell could return as soon as Friday, but if the superstar shooting guard is sidelined again, his next chance to suit up would be Sunday in Denver. If Mitchell plays, he may have to operate under heavy restrictions.

Ayo Dosunmu

Probable for Friday Dosunmu played through the illness Wednesday and finished with 17 points, three boards, four dimes, three triples, two swats and two turnovers across 34 minutes, so it clearly didn't impact his play. He should continue to due so Friday and managers can expect to get official confirmation on his status closer to tip-off.

Alex Caruso

Expected to play Friday Despite dealing with a nagging left ankle sprain, Caruso is expected to continue playing through it Friday. If the 29-year-old guard is upgraded to available, he should remain in the starting lineup.

Caleb Martin

Expected to play Friday Martin continues to deal with a nagging ankle injury but is expected to play through it Friday. If Martin is upgraded to available, he should continue to serve as one of Miami's primary options off the bench at the forward position.

Jaime Jaquez

Dealing with minor ankle issue Jaquez continues to manage knee and ankle injuries, but he's missed just one game since the beginning of February. Over his last 26 appearances (five starts), Jaquez has averaged 9.6 points, 4.0 rebounds, 2.4 assists and 1.0 steals in 27.8 minutes per game.

Orlando Robinson

Heads back to G League Robinson will head back to the G League now that Kevin Love's (heel) return is imminent. Robinson should continue to receive increased playing time with Sioux Falls.

Kevin Love

Officially probable Love missed Thursday's practice for personal reasons and continues to manage a heel issue but should still suit up Friday, which would mark his first appearance since Feb. 27. If the veteran is cleared to suit up, he'll presumably handle a limited role off the bench.

Jimmy Butler

Expected to play against Portland Butler is expected to return to action Friday after missing Miami's previous contest with a non-COVID illness. If he's upgraded to available, the star forward will likely reclaim his starting spot from Jaime Jaquez (ankle).

Duncan Robinson

Won’t play Friday Robinson and Tyler Herro (foot) remain out, so Patty Mills is in line to draw another start at shooting guard. Robinson's next chance to suit up will come Sunday in Washington, but he'll be unlikely to play in that contest unless he can return to practice Saturday.

Tyler Herro

Remains out Friday Herro's absence streak will extend to 16 games Friday due to right foot tendinitis. However, the 23-year-old guard is ramping up toward a return, with Sunday's matchup with Washington being his next chance to take the floor.

Robert Covington

Remains sidelined Covington's absence streak will extend to 42 games Friday due to a left knee bone bruise. However, the veteran forward is expected to return before the end of the regular season, with his next chance to suit up being Sunday's matchup with Toronto.

Taylor Hendricks

Solid outing in loss Hendricks recorded his seventh game this season with at least one steal and one block during Wednesday's loss to the Spurs. The rookie forward is averaging 8.8 points, 6.7 rebounds and 1.1 blocks in 26.6 minutes across his 14 starts this season.

Lauri Markkanen

Massive workload in loss Markkanen's team-high 42 minutes marked his second-most playing time in a game this season. This is encouraging, considering the 26-year-old forward has missed eight of Utah's last 12 contests. Since the beginning of 2024, Markkanen is been shooting 42.0 percent on 7.7 three-point attempts per game.

Collin Sexton

Misses out on double-double Sexton's 26 points marked his highest-scoring output since March 4 during Wednesday's loss. The 24-year-old guard also tallied a team-high nine assists. Sexton has displayed impressive efficiency across his 13 appearances in March, posting 52.8/41.9/88.9 shooting splits.

Mouhamed Gueye

Remains sidelined Gueye's continued absence won't affect Atlanta's rotation. His next chance to suit up is Saturday's matchup with Milwaukee.

Jalen Johnson

Remains out Thursday Johnson is due for another evaluation soon, but the team hasn't released an official update since he was diagnosed with a right ankle sprain last Thursday. His next chance to suit up will come Saturday versus Milwaukee, while De'Andre Hunter and Vit Krejci should continue to see increased playing time until Johnson returns.

Onyeka Okongwu

Still out against Boston Okongwu's absence streak will extend to four games Thursday due to a left toe sprain. Bruno Fernando will likely continue to receive increased opportunities in his absence. Okongwu's next chance to suit up is Saturday's matchup with Milwaukee.

Dejounte Murray

Still dealing with back issue Murray continues to deal with the back issue but hasn't missed a game since Feb. 9. Thursday's contest is the second half of a back-to-back set, and the point guard posted 30 points (13-20 FG), seven assists, three rebounds, two steals and two blocks in 35 minutes during Wednesday's win over Portland. If Murray takes a seat, Trent Forrest, Garrison Mathews and Wesley Matthews would be candidates for increased minutes, but Bogdan Bogdanovic would likely start at point guard.

Victor Wembanyama

Productive in return Wembanyama returned to action Wednesday after missing San Antonio's previous contest with an ankle injury. The rookie phenom has been a shot-blocking menace this season, recording at least five swats in 21 games. However, turnovers have been an issue for Wembanyama, as he is averaging 4.5 per contest over his last 10 appearances.

Kevin Love

Expected to play Friday Love hasn't played since Feb. 27 while dealing with a right heel contusion. However, if the veteran forward is upgraded to available Friday, he will likely continue to serve as Miami's backup center to Bam Adebayo.

Jalen Williams

Double-doubles in OT loss Williams ended as the Thunder's second-best scorer behind Josh Giddey, but what stood out the most was his playmaking ability, as the 10 assists were just the third time he dished out double-digit dimes this season. Williams should remain one of the Thunder's focal points on offense ahead of Friday's matchup against the Suns, regardless of whether Shai Gilgeous-Alexander (quadriceps) is able to return or not.

Josh Giddey

Posts 31 points in OT loss The Thunder were without Shai Gilgeous-Alexander (quadriceps) on Wednesday, but Giddey stepped up and delivered one of his best, most complete performances of the season. Giddey might enjoy another heavy workload on offense against the Suns on Friday if Gilgeous-Alexander is ruled out.

Jeremy Sochan

All-around performance in win Sochan recorded a season-high five steals during Wednesday's win over the Jazz. Despite struggling with his efficiency, the 20-year-old forward was one rebound shy of posting his second straight double-double. Sochan has helped form a formidable defensive frontcourt alongside Victor Wembanyama.

Dillon Brooks

Goes for 20 points Wednesday Brooks wasn't really efficient from three-point range, but he sill found a way to reach the 20-point mark while leaving his mark in other areas of the game as well. The rise of Jalen Green has taken some of Brooks' offensive touches away, but the veteran forward has still scored in double digits in all but one of his last nine appearances, averaging 13.0 points, 2.8 rebounds and 2.0 assists per game in that span.

Amen Thompson

Records monster double-double Thompson moved to the starting lineup on March 12 and has looked productive, showing the ability to make an impact on both ends of the court. He has three double-doubles in his last eight starts, and he should remain a reliable two-way presence for an on-the-rise Rockets team. Thompson is averaging 15.4 points, 8.8 rebounds, 2.6 assists and 1.1 steals per game during Houston's ongoing 10-game winning streak.

Tyler Herro

Ramping up, still no timetable Herro was present and getting shots up during the media portion of Thursday's practice, but his status for Friday's game against the Trail Blazers remains unclear. The sharpshooter has missed 15 straight games due to right foot tendinitis, so even if he gets the green light soon, he will likely be limited for at least a few games to avoid a setback. However, it sounds like Herro is on track to be 100 percent by the time the Play-In Tournament begins, which begins April 16.

Isaiah Joe

Scores 17 points off bench Joe grabbed headlines Wednesday following a posterizing dunk on Jeff Green, but he did more than that, and he was actually one of the Thunder's most productive players in this loss despite coming off the bench. Joe has scored in double digits in just three of his 13 appearances this month, however, so he doesn't carry a lot of upside heading into the final weeks of the regular season.

Devin Vassell

Leads team to victory Vassell's efficient shooting helped him record a team-high 31 points during Wednesday's over the Jazz. The 23-year-old guard is averaging 20.0 minutes, 4.9 assists, 3.6 rebounds and 1.3 steals in 36.6 minutes across his last 10 outings. Vassell has also posted 49.1/38.6/88.0 shooting splits over that span.

Jalen Green

Keeps sizzling streak alive Green has been one of the most productive players in the Western Conference over the last few weeks, and the numbers don't lie, as he's been a key cog in Houston's ongoing 10-game winning run. This was his seventh straight game with 25 or more points, and he's averaging 29.8 points, 6.4 rebounds, 3.9 assists and 1.1 steals per game during the Rockets' undefeated stretch. Green will aim to remain hot against the Jazz, on what promises to be a favorable matchup on paper, on Friday.

Rudy Gobert

Records another double-double Gobert hasn't been the double-double machine he was during his Utah days since joining the Timberwolves, but there's no question he's taken a leap forward this season compared to the numbers he posted in 2022-23. Gobert ranks fifth in The Association in double-doubles this season with 46 out of 66 appearances.

Patrick Beverley

Now expected to play Thursday Beverley has been upgraded from questionable to probable Thursday despite dealing with a torn ligament in his right wrist. While the veteran point guard may pursue an offseason surgery, it appears he will attempt to play through his injury for the remainder of 2023-24.

Naz Reid

Leads Minnesota in scoring Reid was uncharacteristically poor from three-point range, as he failed to make multiple threes for the first time since March 12. However, he still played a prominent role on offense and led Minnesota in scoring, perhaps embracing the more significant role due to Anthony Edwards' subpar outing. Reid has scored over 15 points in five games in a row and in seven of his last eight contests, averaging 20.4 points, 7.0 rebounds, 2.5 assists and 44.4 percent from deep during that eight-game stretch.

Joel Embiid

Traveling with team Levick also relays that Embiid participated in Philadelphia's light practice Thursday and will continue to do his rehab workouts during the road trip. It doesn't sound like Embiid will play Friday in Cleveland or Sunday in Toronto, but it's encouraging to see him cleared to travel. Nurse said Wednesday that the team is hopeful Embiid can suit up for at least a few regular-season games before the Play-In Tournament, which begins April 16.

DeMar DeRozan

Leads team in scoring DeRozan led Chicago in scoring and minutes during Wednesday's blowout loss over Indiana. The veteran forward has displayed impressive efficiency across his 14 appearances in March, shooting 50.2 percent from the field.

Anthony Edwards

Subpar against Detroit Edwards had one of his lowest scoring performances of the season Wednesday, failing to reach double digits for just the seventh time in the current campaign, and overall, he looked rusty and out of sync most of the time. Edwards is simply too talented to struggle for a prolonged stretch, however, and he should be able to bounce back when the Timberwolves take on the Nuggets in a marquee matchup Friday.

Jose Alvarado

Won’t play Thursday Alvarado left Tuesday's loss to the Thunder in the fourth quarter due to right hip soreness but is now listed with a right oblique strain. His next chance to suit up will come Saturday versus Boston, but depending on how severe the strain is, Alvarado may be looking at a multi-game absence. In Alvarado's stead, Jordan Hawkins could carve out meaningful minutes again, especially with Brandon Ingram (knee) sidelined for a few weeks.

Nikola Vucevic

Leads team in rebounding Vucevic's team-high 12 rebounds helped him post his 41st double-double of 2023-24 during Wednesday's blowout win. Despite shooting 28.1 percent from three on the season, Vucevic has seen a slight uptick in his efficiency recently, converting 32.1 percent of his 3.8 three-point attempts across his 14 appearances in March.

Andre Drummond

Double-doubles off bench Drummond has now recorded back-to-back doubles for the first time since late February. The veteran big man has also shot 73.5 percent on 3.4 free-throw attempts per contest across his last 10 appearances. Despite coming off the bench, Drummond is averaging 8.1 rebounds a game over his 14 outings in March.

Chimezie Metu

Decent in spot start Metu looked rough around the edges in the early stages of the game, and while he settled down as the game progressed, he wasn't much of a scoring threat. His contributions in peripheral categories were decent enough to salvage his fantasy output, but it would be surprising if Metu remains in the starting lineup when the Pistons take on the Wizards on Friday.

Tyrese Haliburton

Struggles in loss Haliburton's efficiency issues caused him to post 13 or fewer points for the second time in his last three outings. The star guard has also now dished out five or fewer assists in just seven games this season. Haliburton has struggled to score across his 14 appearances in March, averaging 16.4 points on 42.7 percent shooting the field and 26.5 percent shooting from three.

Jalen Duren

Posts double-double in return Duren returned to the starting lineup following a three-game absence, and the big man delivered another solid outing on both ends of the court, as has been the case throughout the season when he's been active. Duren has racked up 40 double-doubles across 55 games this season, a figure that ranks ninth in The Association this season.

Cade Cunningham

Goes for 32 points in loss Cunningham scored more than one-third of the Pistons' total point haul in this 15-point loss to Minnesota, and the star floor general took a score-first approach in this one, as evidenced by the fact he only delivered two assists. Playing alongside Marcus Sasser in the backcourt might have led to that, but either way, expect Cunningham to continue producing as long as he remains available for an already-eliminated Detroit with roughly two weeks left in the regular season.

Jimmy Butler

Limited at practice Thursday Butler was sidelined for Tuesday's loss to the Warriors due to an illness but is trending in the right direction ahead of Friday's matchup versus Portland. Miami will release its official injury report Thursday afternoon.

Marcus Morris

Set to remain in Cleveland Morris' 10-day contract with Cleveland recently expired, but the veteran forward is set to remain with the team for the remainder of 2023-24. Across his five appearances with the Cavaliers, Morris is averaging 7.8 points, 3.0 rebounds and 1.2 assists in 18.2 minutes.

Bogdan Bogdanovic

Struggles from deep Wednesday Bogdanovic didn't have his best shooting performance and was particularly inaccurate from beyond the arc. Still, the veteran sharpshooter continues to make his presence felt even when his shot isn't falling regularly. Bogdanovic has started in all two games for the Hawks since the All-Star break and is averaging 15.4 points while shooting 39.6 percent from deep in that 15-game span in a starting role.

Pascal Siakam

Held in check against Chicago Siakam's season-low seven field-goal attempts led to one of his lowest-scoring outputs of 2023-24 on Wednesday. However, the star forward still was able to lead Indiana in rebounds during their blowout loss. Despite Siakam's poor shooting night, he is still converting 54.0 percent of his field-goal attempts across his 14 appearances in March.

Clint Capela

Records another double-double Capela posted his fourth consecutive double-double, and the veteran big man has now reached that tally in nine of his last 10 appearances, showing an excellent understanding with Dejounte Murray and also being a standout presence on the defensive end. Capela will aim to keep that streak alive when hosting the Celtics on Thursday.

Dejounte Murray

Double-double streak snapped Murray failed to record a sixth consecutive double-double, but the versatile guard continues to make a massive impact on the offensive end of the court as a primary scorer and playmaker for a Hawks team that continues to operate without Trae Young (finger). Murray's impact has been massive for the Hawks, as he's averaging 27.7 points, 9.3 assists, 4.9 rebounds and 2.6 steals per game over his last 10 appearances. To note, Atlanta has gone 5-5 in that span.

Andrew Nembhard

Leads team in scoring Nembhard's efficient shooting helped him lead Indiana in scoring during Wednesday's blowout loss to the Bulls. The 23-year-old guard has now recorded at least one steal in three straight contests. Across his 14 appearances in March, Nembhard is posting 52.3/37.8/77.8 shooting splits.

Scoot Henderson

Scores 15 with 16 shots Henderson didn't have his best shooting performance Wednesday, and just like the rest of the Trail Blazers offense, he struggled in yet another loss. Henderson has now scored in double figures in eight games in a row and seems to be adjusting better to the pace of the NBA, but he won't go far in fantasy -- especially category-based leagues -- if he continues to shoot under 40 percent from the field. He's making just 39.7 percent of his shots during that eight-game span.

Toumani Camara

Efficient in loss to Atlanta Even though Dalano Banton stole the show for the Blazers with his 31-point effort, Camara was highly efficient in the frontcourt, missing just two of his nine shots and scoring in double digits for the fourth consecutive game. He's averaging 14.0 points while shooting 55 percent from the field in that stretch. Expect Camara to continue seeing heavy minutes in the final weeks of the regular season as Portland's starting power forward.

Dalano Banton

Scores season-high 31 points Banton posted his best scoring mark of the campaign, and he also extended his impressive stretch of games with double-digit points to nine despite coming off the bench in the last six. Banton is averaging 18.8 points per game in that nine-game stretch, and he'll aim to keep that run alive when facing the Heat on Friday.

Jordan Walsh

Back to G League Walsh's demotion is a sign that Boston may be at full strength for the first time in a few weeks. The rookie has struggled to carve out an NBA role this season but continues to be a strong producer when he suits up in the G League.

Lindy Waters

Sent back to G League Waters continues to bounce back and forth between the NBA and G League. However, he should see increased playing time with the Blue.

Mark Williams

Unlikely to play again in 2024-25 Updates on Williams' status have been few and far between since he made his last appearance Dec. 8 before being shut down with what the Hornets initially listed as a lower back contusion. The Hornets' latest injury report has referred to his ongoing absence being the result of "low back injury recovery," and the team hasn't provided any concrete information regarding what kind of activity Williams is doing as part of his rehab program. Though the Hornets haven't officially made an announcement on shutting Williams down for the season like they have with LaMelo Ball (ankle), Cody Martin (ankle) and Seth Curry (ankle) within the past two days, fantasy managers in redraft leagues who have been holding Williams amid his prolonged absence can feel comfortable cutting bait at this point. Nick Richards has since taken over as the Hornets' starting center, with Grant Williams and Aleksej Pokusevski serving as Richards' primary backup options.

Xavier Tillman

Participates in shootaround Tillman is officially listed as questionable for Thursday's contest due to left knee inflammation. However, Tillman's participation in shootaround is a good sign of his availability against Atlanta.

Jrue Holiday

Active during shootaround Holiday has missed five straight contests due to a right shoulder sprain but is nearing a return to game action. If he's cleared, Holiday should start, as he hasn't come off the bench yet as a Celtic, but may face some limitations given his lengthy absence.

Cody Martin

Shut down for rest of season Within the past two days, the Hornets have elected to shut down Martin, Curry and LaMelo Ball (ankle) for the season while all three have already missed extended time with ankle injuries, and Boone relays that center Mark Williams' (back) season is most likely over as well. Martin appeared in 28 games (22 starts) this season and averaged 7.5 points, 3.9 rebounds, 3.7 assists, 1.1 steals and 1.0 three-pointers in 26.9 minutes per game. Martin has played in just 35 games the last two seasons due to injuries but has one more guaranteed year on the four-year contract he signed in July 2022, so he should be back in Charlotte for the 2024-25 season.

Seth Curry

Out for remainder of 2023-24 Curry hasn't played since March 1 due to a right ankle sprain and will not be shut down for the rest of 2023-24. Curry will end the season averaging 5.3 points, 1.6 rebounds and 1.0 assists in 14.3 minutes across 43 appearances between Charlotte and Dallas on a career-low 35.2 three-point percentage.

Damion Baugh

Scores season-high points Baugh had a dominant outing Wednesday, as he set new season-high totals for both points scored and steals. The 23-year-old guard was also efficient shooting the ball, as he converted on 54.2 percent of his field-goal attempts and 40.0 percent of his three-point tries.

Garrett Temple

Chips in 15 off bench Wednesday The 37-year-old wing has seen a significant role in the Raptors' injury-ravaged rotation over the last week, and Temple's 15 points and six boards were both season highs. With RJ Barrett (conditioning) and Immanuel Quickley (conditioning) both about to rejoin the lineup, however, Temple will likely be the first player bumped to the end of the bench for the rebuilding team.

Bryce Hamilton

Career night versus Santa Cruz Hamilton came up big versus Santa Cruz on Wednesday, as he scored a career-high 43 points while converting on 55.2 percent of his field-goal attempts. The 23-year-old will look to build off this strong performance and help South Bay make a playoff push.

Kelly Olynyk

Teases triple-double against Knicks The veteran center has dished 27 assists over the last three games as the Raptors run the offense through him in the absence of Immanuel Quickley (personal). Since moving into the starting lineup in early March to replace Jakob Poeltl (finger), Olynyk has averaged 13.7 points, 5.7 assists, 5.6 boards, 1.2 steals, 1.1 threes and 0.8 blocks over the last 12 contests, and Poeltl's chances of returning before the end of the regular season are shrinking with each Toronto loss.

Gradey Dick

Pops for career-high 23 in loss The rookie guard led the Raptors in scoring while setting a new career high as he made his 10th straight start for the injury-ravaged club. Dick has only scored in double digits five times over that stretch, displaying some unsurprising consistency issues, but the 13th overall pick in the 2023 Draft has mostly held up well with the extra usage and has averaged 12.6 points, 2.6 boards, 2.0 assists and 1.8 threes during that stretch while playing 31.9 minutes a contest. With Immanuel Quickley (conditioning) and RJ Barrett (conditioning) both on the cusp of rejoining the lineup though, Dick's workload could be reduced even if remains in the starting five.

Bojan Bogdanovic

Efficient night from second unit The 34-year-old forward didn't need to do too much in the rout, but he took advantage of his opportunities. Bogdanovic is still capable of supplying some instant offense from the second unit, but he's had an inconsistent March, scoring in double digits only five times in 12 games and shooting just 34.0 percent (17-for-50) from three-point range.

Andre Jackson

Returns to NBA Jackson will return to the NBA after a brief stint in the G League. However, the rookie forward is unlikely to receive significant playing time for Milwaukee.

Donte DiVincenzo

Drains five threes Wednesday It was another big night from beyond the arc for DiVincenzo, who has buried multiple three-pointers in 30 straight games. Through 12 contests in March, the 27-year-old guard has averaged 19.5 points, 4.5 boards, 4.4 threes, 3.5 assists, 1.8 steals and 0.8 blocks while attempting nearly 12 shots a game (11.9) from three-point range.

Precious Achiuwa

Double-double against former club It was Achiuwa's ninth double-double of the season, seven of which have come since he was traded from Toronto to New York as part of the OG Anunoby (elbow) trade. Achiuwa was actually the biggest part of that deal on the court Wednesday, as Immanuel Quickley (conditioning) and RJ Barrett (conditioning) also remained sidelined for the Raptors. Achiuwa has come off the bench in eight straight games even with Anunoby unavailable for the last five, and his production has been erratic over that stretch, although he has scored in double digits twice while pulling down double-digit boards twice as well. In those eight games, the 24-year-old big has averaged 7.8 points, 8.1 rebounds, 2.0 assists and 1.0 blocks in 21.4 minutes a contest.

Marcus Morris

Deal with Cleveland expires Cleveland has the ability to re-sign Morris to a second 10-day deal, though it's unclear if the team has any desire to keep him around. Over the course of his first 10-day pact, Morris appeared in five games and averaged 7.8 points, 3.0 rebounds, 1.4 three-pointers and 1.2 assists in 18.2 minutes per contest, but he fell out of the rotation in Wednesday's 118-111 loss to the Hornets while Max Strus (knee) made his return from a 12-game absence.

Gabe Vincent

Eyeing Sunday return Though Vincent looks like he'll remain out Friday, barring a setback leading up to Sunday's morning shootaround, he'll be available to play later that day against the Nets for what would be his first appearance since Dec. 20. After signing a three-year, $33 million deal with the Lakers over the summer, Vincent has thus far been limited to just five appearances after his season debut was delayed while he recovered from a left knee effusion. The knee issue then cropped up again in December, prompting Vincent to undergo arthroscopic surgery to provide a longer-term fix for the issue. Vincent will likely claim a spot in the rotation once healthy, though he could be in store for only a light role behind backcourt starters D'Angelo Russell and Austin Reaves.

Jalen Brunson

Hits for 26 in Toronto The 27-year-old guard continues to fill up the bucket, topping 25 points for the seventh time in the last 10 games. Over that stretch, Brunson has averaged 28.3 points, 6.2 assists, 3.2 boards, 2.9 threes and 0.8 steals while leading the Knicks to an 8-2 record, as the team looks to lock up a playoff spot and avoid sliding back into the Play-In Tournament.

Duane Washington

Doesn’t play versus Swarm Washington was held out of Wednesday's contest due to soreness in his right knee. The Knicks are now without two of their two-way players, as Charlie Brown (concussion) is also dealing with an injury.
