Sun Mar 3102:09Rudy Gobert Uncertain For Sunday's GameRudy GobertCJazzFree Agent
Minnesota Timberwolves center Rudy Gobert (ribs) is questionable for Sunday's meeting with the Chicago Bulls. The multi-time Defensive Player of the Year continues to be bothered by a rib injury. But he looked just fine in Friday's much-needed win over the Denver Nuggets and finished with 21 points, 12 rebounds, and three blocks in 35 minutes of work. The Timberwolves have won seven of their previous eight contests and currently sit among the top teams in the Western Conference. Yet, for Minnesota to claim the No. 1 spot heading toward the postseason, Gobert will need to be out there, especially with Karl-Anthony Towns (knee) sidelined. Gobert had trouble scoring the last time these clubs met back in February. However, he still had a 12-point, 16-rebound double-double.

Sat Mar 3022:54LeBron James Questionable Versus BrooklynLeBron JamesPFHeatFree Agent
Los Angeles Lakers forward LeBron James (ankle) is questionable for Sunday's game in Brooklyn. As usual, the multi-time MVP appears on the injury report because of the left ankle issue he's been battling for months. While there's a chance he might miss this one, the Lakers need a win, meaning he should be on the floor. However, if James isn't out there, D'Angelo Russell, Austin Reaves, and Anthony Davis (knee) should pick up most of the slack on the offensive end.

Sat Mar 3022:47Anthony Davis Questionable Against BrooklynAnthony DavisPFNO HornetsFree Agent
Los Angeles Lakers forward/center Anthony Davis (knee) is questionable for Sunday's contest in Brooklyn. A.D. isn't a stranger to the league's official injury report. But surprisingly, he hasn't missed much time this season. The Lakers have a slight edge over Golden State for the No. 9 spot in the Western Conference, so Davis could afford a night off. However, If he doesn't suit up, Rui Hachimura and Jaxson Hayes would warrant consideration in any DFS contest.

Sat Mar 3009:45Patrick Beverley Probable For Saturday's GamePatrick BeverleyPGRocketsFree Agent
Milwaukee Bucks point guard Patrick Beverley (wrist) is considered probable for Saturday's action against the Hawks. The veteran guard missed a game against the Lakers earlier in the week with a right wrist sprain but played through the ailment on Thursday night versus New Orleans. Beverley missed all four shots against the Pelicans while playing only seven minutes, but he is expected to be in the lineup again on Saturday. The Bucks can use Beverley to slow down the in-form Dejounte Murray a bit, but he hasn't carried a lot of fantasy value for most of the campaign.

Sat Mar 3009:41Khris Middleton Expected To Play On SaturdayKhris MiddletonSFPistonsFree Agent
Milwaukee Bucks forward Khris Middleton (ankle) is listed as probable for Saturday's matchup against Atlanta. He's set to make his fourth consecutive appearance, although the team hasn't yet fully confirmed his availability. Middleton has notched 14.8 points, 6.6 rebounds, and 7.2 assists in 31.4 minutes since returning from an ankle injury a couple of weeks back. A clash with the Hawks is one of the best fantasy matchups a player can get, so Middleton shouldn't disappoint managers on Saturday if he's in the lineup.

Fri Mar 2920:15Giannis Antetokounmpo Probable For SaturdayGiannis AntetokounmpoFBucksFree Agent
Milwaukee Bucks forward Giannis Antetokounmpo (hamstring) is expected to suit up for Saturday's game against Atlanta. The multi-time MVP remains on the injury report because of left hamstring tendinopathy. While the ailment cost him a few games, he's been available for Milwaukee's previous four contests, most recently logging 39 minutes in the loss to the Pelicans on Friday. He played well in that one, scoring a game-high 35 points and 14 rebounds, meaning the injury shouldn't discourage DFS managers from getting him in their lineups.

Fri Mar 2920:04Rudy Gobert Ready To Go FridayRudy GobertCJazzFree Agent
Minnesota Timberwolves center Rudy Gobert (ribs) will play against Denver on Friday. He has been upgraded from questionable to available as the French pivot continues to play through a left rib sprain. The injury hasn't really affected Gobert, who continues to be a walking double-double and an intimidating defensive presence under the rim. He will have a big role to play in slowing down Nikola Jokic on Friday, and Gobert's offensive efforts might suffer because of it. He posted only four points in his only previous matchup against the Nuggets this season.

Fri Mar 2918:40Kevin Love Back For Miami FridayKevin LovePFTimberwolvesFree Agent
Miami Heat forward/center Kevin Love (heel) will end a month-long absence on Friday against the Trail Blazers. The Heat big man injured his right heel in a game against Portland on Feb. 27 and has been out for 14 contests. Love's return is set to push Thomas Bryant out of the rotation, with Nikola Jovic and Haywood Highsmith also in danger of losing minutes. The former All-Star has averaged 9.0 points and 6.2 rebounds in 17.5 minutes during his 16th NBA campaign.

Fri Mar 2918:34Jimmy Butler Returns To Heat Lineup FridayJimmy ButlerSFBullsFree Agent
Miami Heat forward Jimmy Butler (illness) will be back in the lineup on Friday against Portland. The team has upgraded Butler from probable to available. Butler rejoins the action in a favorable spot against a struggling team, although he has been inconsistent with his performances lately. With that said, Butler always finds ways to make an impact on the court and should fill the stat sheet in a nice pace-up spot for the Heat squad.

Fri Mar 2918:32Damian Lillard Ruled Out For SaturdayDamian LillardPGTrailblazersFree Agent
Milwaukee Bucks guard Damian Lillard (personal) will be out of the lineup Saturday against Atlanta for personal reasons. Lillard left Thursday's game versus New Orleans for an undisclosed reason. However, the 33-year-old missing the contest isn't due to an injury. AJ Green, Patrick Beverley (wrist), Pat Connaughton will likely see an uptick in minutes. The next chance for the guard to play will come on Tuesday versus the Washington Wizards.

Fri Mar 2918:14LeBron James Good To Go FridayLeBron JamesPFHeatFree Agent
Los Angeles Lakers forward LeBron James (ankle) will be in the lineup on Friday versus Indiana. He has once again shaken off a questionable tag to face the Pacers for a second time in a short space of time. The two teams also clashed last Sunday, with James recording 26 points, five rebounds, and 10 assists in a high-scoring 150-145 win. Another shootout is expected between the two sides on Friday, putting James in a good position to fill up the box score again.

Fri Mar 2918:10Anthony Davis Returns Against IndianaAnthony DavisPFNO HornetsFree Agent
Los Angeles Lakers forward/center Anthony Davis (knee) will return to the lineup on Friday against Indiana. He's ready to rock again after sitting out the second leg of a back-to-back versus Memphis on Wednesday. The Lakers also faced Indiana last week, and Davis went off for 36 points and 16 rebounds. It's a very favorable fantasy matchup, and we should see another juicy line from Davis on Friday.

Fri Mar 2917:15Al Horford Removed From The Injury ReportAl HorfordCHawksFree Agent
Boston Celtics forward/center Al Horford (toe) isn't listed on the injury report heading into Saturday's clash with New Orleans. The veteran has been bothered by a toe sprain of late. While he's mostly played through the pain, he didn't suit up for Thursday's loss to the Atlanta Hawks. The C's got Jrue Holiday (shoulder) back for that one, so Horford would have come off the bench, decreasing his fantasy effectiveness. With that in mind, Horford has averaged 8.5 points and 6.5 rebounds, although he always has the potential to get hot whenever he steps on the court.

Fri Mar 2916:17Derrick Rose Unlikely To Return This SeasonDerrick RosePGBullsFree Agent
Memphis Grizzlies guard Derrick Rose (groin) hasn't appeared in a game since February 28 and it looks as though he won't be returning for the rest of the season. According to Damichael Cole, since there are only two weeks remaining in the season and the Grizzlies are already eliminated from playoff contention, Rose is unlikely to take the court again this year. Since he's missed a lot of time, this won't affect that much of the rotation, and a lot of the younger players that have been seeing time will continue to do so. Desmond Bane, Scottie Pippen Jr., and Jake LaRavia should all continue to get more opportunities for the rest of this season.

Fri Mar 2910:36Kevin Love Probable On FridayKevin LovePFTimberwolvesFree Agent
Miami Heat forward Kevin Love (heel) has officially been listed as probable for Friday night's game against the Portland Trail Blazers. The veteran big man hasn't played since February 27 and has missed a total of 25 games so far this season. The good thing is that the team is getting healthier at the right time to make a playoff push and try to avoid the play-in tournament altogether. Love has played a reserve role all year and that shouldn't change with him returning to the lineup. He's averaging 17.5 minutes a night and has registered 9.0 points, 6.2 rebounds, and 2.2 assists per game, so he's been a viable streaming option in deeper leagues.

Fri Mar 2909:57Alec Burks Questionable On FridayAlec BurksSGJazzFree Agent
New York Knicks guard Alec Burks (shoulder) is dealing with a sprained right shoulder and has received a questionable tag ahead of the Friday night game against the San Antonio Spurs. The veteran combo guard has been absent for the last two games and has also seen a very inconsistent role since re-joining the Knicks. His playing time seems to be both matchup-based and based on injuries. That hasn't been a bad thing for the team, but can make fantasy managers' lives difficult when trying to judge a streaming option decision. If he does play, he's not likely to receive as many minutes since most of the rotation is healthy minus OG Anunoby (elbow) and Julius Randle (shoulder).

Thu Mar 2821:07Rudy Gobert Might Miss Friday's GameRudy GobertCJazzFree Agent
Minnesota Timberwolves center Rudy Gobert (rib) is questionable for Friday's clash with the Denver Nuggets. He has a left rib sprain, although he's been playing through the injury. The multi-time Defensive Player of the Year most recently logged 34 minutes in Wednesday's win over the Pistons, ending the night with a double-double with two blocks. The Timberwolves and Nuggets are fighting for the top spot in the Western Conference, so it's unlikely Gobert will miss this one. But if he does sit out, Naz Reid would presumably cover the five spot, with Kyle Anderson and Nickeil Alexander-Walker getting more minutes than usual.

Thu Mar 2820:21LeBron James Questionable Against IndianaLeBron JamesPFHeatFree Agent
Los Angeles Lakers forward LeBron James (ankle) is questionable heading toward Friday's matchup with the Pacers. He's been dealing with a left ankle injury for months and has missed time because of it. The 39-year-old recently sat out Tuesday's double-overtime win over the Milwaukee Bucks. Yet, James returned on Wednesday versus Memphis and ended the night by amassing a 23-point, 14-rebound, 12-assist triple-double. The Lakers are currently the No. 9 seed in the Western Conference, so they must extend their five-game winning streak to at least remain in the Play-In conversation. With that in mind, James will likely be on the floor. But if he's not, Rui Hachimura, Austin Reaves, and D'Angelo Russell should all pick up the slack on the offensive end behind Anthony Davis (knee), assuming he's available.

Thu Mar 2820:14Taj Gibson Out Friday Against WizardsTaj GibsonPFBullsFree Agent
Detroit Pistons forward Taj Gibson (hamstring) is unavailable for Friday's game against the Washington Wizards. Gibson has been suffering from right-hamstring soreness and will miss his sixth consecutive contest. Currently, there is no timetable for when he will return. The veteran forward last played on March 18 against Boston, where he posted just three points, two rebounds, and one steal in 11 minutes of playing time. If the 38-year-old returns this season, he won't be a fantasy factor.

Thu Mar 2820:05Anthony Davis Questionable Versus IndianaAnthony DavisPFNO HornetsFree Agent
Los Angeles Lakers forward/center Anthony Davis (knee) is questionable for Friday's showdown with the Indiana Pacers. Despite being frequently mentioned on the league's official injury report, A.D. has only missed five games this season. He logged 52 minutes in Tuesday's double-overtime win over the Milwaukee Bucks, ending the night with a game-high 34 points and 23 rebounds with four blocks. However, Davis sat out the following night against Memphis because of a knee issue. With that said, he likely sat out for rest purposes, so fantasy managers could see him back in the lineup versus Indy. On the other hand, if Davis misses another contest, Jaxson Hayes and Rui Hachimura, combining for 48 points on Wednesday, will remain attractive DFS options.
