Mon Mar 25 | 22:18 | Russell Westbrook Available Versus Pacers Monday | Russell Westbrook | PG | Thunder | Free Agent |
Los Angeles Clippers point guard Russell Westbrook (hand) is available Monday, three weeks after having hand surgery. The former MVP was recovering from a fractured hand suffered on March 1st in a matchup against Washington. Westbrook has been one of the most productive bench players in the league this season, putting up 11.1 points, 5.1 rebounds, and 4.4 assists. While Westbrook was out, the Clippers posted a 6-6 record. In his return against the Pacers, the 35-year-old shouldn't face any minute restrictions. |

Mon Mar 25 | 20:09 | Anthony Davis Expected To Face Milwaukee | Anthony Davis | PF | NO Hornets | Free Agent |
Los Angeles Lakers forward/center Anthony Davis (Achilles) is probable for Tuesday's game in Milwaukee. The Achilles issue isn't anything new, and Davis will likely continue to deal with it for the remainder of the 2023-24 campaign, including the playoffs, assuming the Lakers advance. But he's only missed four games this season, with his most recent absence occurring over a month ago. With Los Angeles commencing a six-game road trip, there's a chance the 31-year-old could get a night off during that stretch. However, if LeBron James (ankle), who is doubtful for Tuesday, doesn't suit up, Davis would be a lock for all fantasy lineups. |

Mon Mar 25 | 19:55 | LeBron James Not Expected To Play Tuesday | LeBron James | PF | Heat | Free Agent |
Los Angeles Lakers forward LeBron James (ankle) is doubtful for Tuesday's game in Milwaukee. The Lakers will begin their six-game road trip. However, the club is expected to be without the multi-time MVP. The ankle injury has bothered him all year, so he could be getting a night off ahead of Wednesday's matchup with the Memphis Grizzlies. Anthony Davis (Achilles), who is probable, should pick up most of the slack on the offensive end if James is officially sidelined on Tuesday. But D'Angelo Russell and Austin Reaves will also warrant extra attention from DFS participants. |

Sun Mar 24 | 21:59 | Anthony Davis Active Against Pacers | Anthony Davis | PF | NO Hornets | Free Agent |
Los Angeles Lakers center/forward Anthony Davis (Achilles) has been upgraded to active, as expected, against the Indiana Pacers on Sunday night. The superstar big man was already listed as probable, so the fact that he was upgraded doesn't come as a surprise. The offensive load grew bigger once D'Angelo Russell (illness) was a late scratch, but at least the team gets LeBron James (ankle) who was originally listed as questionable. Davis is a must-start fantasy asset in all formats and all league sizes. He's registered 15 double-doubles in his last 16 games played. |

Sun Mar 24 | 21:54 | LeBron James Upgraded To Active On Monday | LeBron James | PF | Heat | Free Agent |
Los Angeles Lakers forward LeBron James (ankle) has officially been upgraded from questionable to active on Monday night and will suit up against the Indiana Pacers. The King will make his sixth consecutive start despite the ankle issue he continues to deal with each night. After D'Angelo Russell got the late scratch from the lineup, James' playmaking and ball-handling will be even more important. This should turn into another big night for James and Anthony Davis as they try to remain in the playoff race and avoid the play-in tournament. James is a must-start candidate in all fantasy formats. |

Sun Mar 24 | 18:18 | Khris Middleton Active Against OKC | Khris Middleton | SF | Pistons | Free Agent |
Milwaukee Bucks forward Khris Middleton (ankle) is good to go for Sunday's matchup against OKC. He didn't play on Thursday against the Brooklyn Nets to rest the ankle issue that kept him off the floor for over a month. However, the 32-year-old was listed as probable heading into this contest, so most had assumed he'd be available. As always, Middleton should be in any fantasy starting lineup, even with a tough matchup on the horizon. |

Sun Mar 24 | 18:12 | Giannis Antetokounmpo Available Against OKC | Giannis Antetokounmpo | F | Bucks | Free Agent |
Milwaukee Bucks forward Giannis Antetokounmpo (hamstring) is officially active for Sunday's battle with the Oklahoma City Thunder. The multi-time MVP recently missed two games because of a hamstring issue. But he returned for Thursday's win over the Nets, finishing with 21 points. OKC is one of the best teams in the National Basketball Association, which should negatively impact Antetokounmpo's production. However, he's still a must-start in any fantasy setup. |

Sun Mar 24 | 18:09 | Jrue Holiday Out Again On Monday | Jrue Holiday | PG | 76ers | Free Agent |
Boston Celtics guard Jrue Holiday (shoulder) remains out on Monday versus Atlanta. He'll now miss a fifth consecutive game. However, the C's have a firm hold on the No. 1 spot in the Eastern Conference, so there's no point in rushing Holiday back. With Derrick White (hand) questionable, Payton Pritchard will see an uptick in attention from fantasy managers even if he doesn't start, especially after amassing 15 points and eight assists in Sunday's win over the Bulls. Sam Hauser, coming off a 23-point effort versus Chicago, will also be an ideal DFS value option. |

Sun Mar 24 | 15:14 | P.J. Tucker Out Versus Philly | P.J. Tucker | SF | Suns | Free Agent |
Los Angeles Clippers forward P.J. Tucker (calf) won't play on Sunday versus the 76ers. The veteran logged at least 21 minutes in three of his previous four appearances. However, even with the increased workload, Tucker didn't offer much from a fantasy standpoint. With Norman Powell (leg) returning after missing a few games with a leg contusion, Tucker's absence will have even less of an impact on fantasy managers. |

Sun Mar 24 | 13:46 | Kyle Lowry Resting On Sunday | Kyle Lowry | PG | Raptors | Free Agent |
Philadelphia 76ers guard Kyle Lowry won't play in Sunday's game against the Clippers. He logged 32 minutes in Friday's loss to the Los Angeles Lakers. But the 37-year-old isn't getting any younger, so he'll get the afternoon off before presumably returning for Monday's clash with the Sacramento Kings. But without Lowry in the mix, Nicolas Batum, averaging 5.8 points, 4.3 rebounds, and 2.2 assists in 33 starts during the 2023-24 campaign, may roll with the first five, giving DFS managers a value option. |

Sat Mar 23 | 21:15 | LeBron James Might Miss Sunday's Game | LeBron James | PF | Heat | Free Agent |
Los Angeles Lakers forward LeBron James (ankle) is listed as questionable ahead of Sunday's game against the Indiana Pacers. The superstar forward has been dealing with an ankle issue for what seems like months now. However, James normally plays through the issue, but fantasy managers should check back for another update ahead of tip-off. His absence would likely result in more playing time for Spencer Dinwiddie and Taurean Prince. Between the two, Dinwiddie is the better streaming option if James sits out. |

Sat Mar 23 | 19:30 | Khris Middleton Likely To Play Versus OKC | Khris Middleton | SF | Pistons | Free Agent |
Milwaukee Bucks forward Khris Middleton (ankle) is probable for Sunday's clash with OKC. Middleton missed over a month because of an ankle injury. However, he's appeared in two of the Bucks' previous three games, so he got the night off on Thursday against Brooklyn. That said, the 32-year-old logged 32 minutes in his most recent game. As a result, Middleton is someone to consider for all fantasy formats, including those participating in DFS contests. |

Sat Mar 23 | 19:23 | Giannis Antetokounmpo Probable For Sunday | Giannis Antetokounmpo | F | Bucks | Free Agent |
Milwaukee Bucks forward Giannis Antetokounmpo (hamstring) is expected to play on Sunday versus OKC. He missed two games recently because of left hamstring tendinopathy. But the multi-time MVP was back in the lineup for Thursday's win over the Brooklyn Nets. However, Antetokounmpo amassed 21 points, one of his lowest scoring outputs of the 2023-24 campaign. That said, fantasy managers should always keep Antetokounmpo on the radar. But Oklahoma City has held its own defending the paint this season, so he could be in store for another below-average showing. |

Sat Mar 23 | 19:02 | Al Horford Available Versus Chicago | Al Horford | C | Hawks | Free Agent |
Boston Celtics forward/center Al Horford (toe) will play on Saturday against the Chicago Bulls. The veteran sat out Friday's win over the Detroit Pistons. But in all fairness, the Celtics didn't need him. Kristaps Porzingis (hamstring) will get the night off to rest after logging 26 minutes on Friday, so Horford will slide into the starting lineup. The 37-year-old has averaged 10.0 points, 6.7 rebounds, and 1.0 blocks in 28 starts this season, meaning he has an excellent chance to crush his DFS value. |

Sat Mar 23 | 17:17 | Al Horford Questionable To Face Bulls | Al Horford | C | Hawks | Free Agent |
Boston Celtics forward/center Al Horford (toe) is regarded as questionable for Saturday's matchup against Chicago. He's strained his left big toe and might be absent for a second consecutive contest. Kristaps Porzingis (hamstring) has already been ruled out for Saturday's game, meaning Boston will be desperate to have Horford available. If he can't go, it should be full steam ahead for Luke Kornet and Xavier Tillman Sr., the backup bigs off the bench, to play a significantly more important role than they usually do. It's going to be a tough challenge, however, with Chicago rolling out Nikola Vucevic and Andre Drummond at the center position. |

Sat Mar 23 | 17:11 | Jrue Holiday Out On Saturday | Jrue Holiday | PG | 76ers | Free Agent |
Boston Celtics guard Jrue Holiday (shoulder) won't play against Chicago on Saturday. The veteran sits out a fourth consecutive game. With Holiday missing, Payton Pritchard has strung together a nice run of good performances and should contribute well again on Saturday in a good matchup. The Bulls struggle to guard the three-point line, giving up the second-most three-point makes in the league, putting Pritchard in a great position to do damage from deep, along with the rest of the C's. |

Sat Mar 23 | 09:36 | Russell Westbrook Set To Return Next Week | Russell Westbrook | PG | Thunder | Free Agent |
Los Angeles Clippers point guard Russell Westbrook (hand) is expected to be back in the lineup next week. Sources have told ESPN's Adrian Wojnarowski that Westbrook's return might even come as soon as Monday versus Indiana. The former MVP is recovering from a fractured hand suffered on March 1 in a matchup against Washington. Westbrook has been one of the most productive bench players in the league this season, putting up 11.1 points with 5.1 rebounds and 4.4 assists. There could be fireworks from Westbrook straight away in his first game back, as Indiana games are usually played at a very high pace and tend to be high-scoring affairs. |

Fri Mar 22 | 22:00 | Tobias Harris Suiting Up Friday Versus Lakers | Tobias Harris | SF | Magic | Free Agent |
Philadelphia 76ers forward Tobias Harris (ankle) is available for Friday's game against the Lakers. After missing three consecutive contests, Philadelphia will be happy to have Harris back, especially since Joel Embiid (knee) is expected to miss more time. Nicolas Batum will likely not start with the 31-year-old suiting up. If Harris's minutes are limited in the contest, Tyrese Maxey and Kelly Oubre Jr. should do most of the heavy lifting on the offensive end. |

Minnesota Timberwolves center Rudy Gobert (rib) has been upgraded to available ahead of Friday's game against the Cleveland Cavaliers. The big man is back in action after going through his pregame routine without any issues. Fellow big man Naz Reid (head) has also been cleared to play in this game. That being said, both players should return to their normal roles in the rotation. Fantasy managers should double check their lineups ahead of tip-off. |

Boston Celtics forward/center Al Horford (toe) will miss Friday's game against the Pistons due to a toe sprain and could also miss Saturday's contest in the Windy City. Jayson Tatum (ankle) will also be out of the lineup with a right ankle injury. Sam Hauser (ankle) is available. He and Luke Kornet could see more time on the court against the worst team in the NBA. If that's the case, Kornet and Hauser could see plenty of attention from fantasy managers. |
