Mon Mar 1815:51Tobias Harris Misses Monday’s ShootaroundTobias HarrisSFBucksFree Agent
Philadelphia 76ers forward Tobias Harris (ankle) did not participate in shootaround on Monday morning. After missing Saturday's victory over the visiting Charlotte Hornets and Sunday's practice due to a sprained right ankle, Harris remains very much in danger of missing Monday's meeting with the Miami Heat. The versatile star forward appears to be closer to doubtful than questionable. If Harris is ultimately ruled out on Monday, veteran Nicolas Batum should stay in Philly's starting lineup. Covering four games for the Sixers without Harris in 2023-24, Batum is averaging 5.0 points, 4.8 rebounds, 2.8 assists, 2.7 combined steals plus blocks, and 1.0 triples and would only be a low-end fantasy streamer against a Heat team surrendering the fourth-fewest DraftKings points to opposing power forwards.

Mon Mar 1815:47Jimmy Butler Questionable With Foot ContusionJimmy ButlerSFBullsFree Agent
Miami Heat forward Jimmy Butler (foot) is questionable for Monday's game against the Philadelphia 76ers. A right foot contusion cost Butler the front end of Miami's back-to-back in Sunday's narrow win over the Detroit Pistons, and the two-way superstar forward's status remains up in the air on Monday. Since Tyler Herro (foot) is out of action, the Heat offense would run through Bam Adebayo and Terry Rozier if Butler can't go against the Sixers. First-round rookie Jaime Jaquez Jr. has been the definitive fantasy beneficiary of Butler's absences this season, averaging 15.9 points, 4.6 rebounds, 3.0 assists, 1.2 steals, and 0.9 treys through 20 games without Butler, but the 208.5-point over/under implies this is unlikely to be a high-scoring affair.

Sun Mar 1720:48James Harden Available Sunday Versus AtlantaJames HardenSGThunderFree Agent
Los Angeles Clippers guard James Harden (shoulder) is available for Sunday's tilt with the Atlanta Hawks. The 34-year-old has been dealing with a left shoulder strain and has missed the last two games. Before being injured, Harden averaged 17.8 points, 8.6 assists, and 5.4 rebounds in 36.0 minutes per game across five contests. Bones Hyland played 24 minutes on Friday against New Orleans. However, with Harden's return, Hyland will see his minutes reduced on Sunday.

Sun Mar 1717:35Tobias Harris Questionable For Monday's GameTobias HarrisSFBucksFree Agent
Philadelphia 76ers forward Tobias Harris (ankle) has been listed as questionable for Monday's matchup against Miami. Harris missed Saturday's game against Charlotte with a right ankle sprain and couldn't practice on Sunday. The questionable tag leaves his status up in the air, but it's looking likely Harris will miss a second consecutive game. Nicolas Batum notched eight points, eight rebounds, four assists, three steals, and two blocks as Harris' replacement in the starting five on Saturday. It was an outstanding line from the veteran, but fantasy managers shouldn't expect the same on Monday, as Philadelphia faces a much stronger team.

Sun Mar 1713:39Jimmy Butler Sidelined Versus DetroitJimmy ButlerSFBullsFree Agent
Miami Heat forward Jimmy Butler (foot) won't play on Sunday in the rematch with Detroit. Butler has been banged up all season, which is nothing unusual. While he's just as productive as ever, he'll miss his 20th game versus the Pistons. It appears there's a chance he'll be back in the lineup on Monday versus the 76ers, his former team. But with Tyler Herro (foot) out as well, Duncan Robinson, Jaime Jaquez Jr., and Terry Rozier should see more scoring chances. Of course, Bam Adebayo is the favorite to remain the team's No. 1 offensive contributor.

Sat Mar 1622:01James Harden Questionable SundayJames HardenSGThunderFree Agent
Los Angeles Clippers guard James Harden (shoulder) could miss a third consecutive game against the Atlanta Hawks on Sunday as he is listed as questionable. The 34-year-old has been dealing with a left shoulder strain. More information on Harden's availability should be known after the team's morning shootaround for fantasy managers who him rostered. Bones Hyland will likely see another start if Harden is unable to suit up.

Sat Mar 1619:36Stephen Curry Expected To PlayStephen CurryPGWarriorsFree Agent
Golden State Warriors guard Stephen Curry (ankle) is expected to suit up for Saturday's game against the Los Angeles Lakers, according to head coach Steve Kerr. All signs are currently pointing to Curry returning to the court after missing the last three games due to a right ankle sprain. There is no word on Curry being limited so fantasy managers should expect the superstar guard to have his normal amount of minutes. Fantasy managers should check back ahead of tip-off for a final decision.

Sat Mar 1617:40Tobias Harris Ruled Out For SaturdayTobias HarrisSFBucksFree Agent
Philadelphia 76ers forward Tobias Harris (ankle) won't take the court against Charlotte on Saturday. The team has downgraded Harris from questionable to out. The veteran forward comes out of the lineup for only the seventh time this season. Harris has had a couple of miserable outings lately, so having some time off might even benefit him. Nicolas Batum will offer some low-tier fantasy value as Harris' replacement in the starting five. The French veteran has posted 5.8 points, 4.1 rebounds, and 2.3 assists in a starting role this season.

Sat Mar 1613:43Tobias Harris Misses Morning ShootaroundTobias HarrisSFBucksFree Agent
Philadelphia 76ers forward Tobias Harris (ankle) didn't participate in shootaround on Saturday morning. He remains questionable heading into the meeting with Charlotte because of the ankle he tweaked in Thursday's loss to the Milwaukee Bucks. Philadelphia has 16 games left before the playoffs and currently holds a Play-In spot. However, with Joel Embiid (knee) potentially returning in April, the team needs everyone as healthy as possible for a deep postseason run. As a result, Harris could get the night off versus the 17-50 Hornets, meaning his next chance to suit up will be on Monday against the Miami Heat. But until the 31-year-old is back on the floor, Nicolas Batum would likely enter the starting lineup while also earning value consideration from DFS participants.

Fri Mar 1522:57Stephen Curry Might Return Versus The LakersStephen CurryPGWarriorsFree Agent
Golden State Warriors guard Stephen Curry (ankle) is questionable for Saturday's meeting with Los Angeles Lakers. He recently resumed practicing, which is a good sign. However, the 36-year-old, who missed the last three games because of a sprained ankle, likely has some hurdles to leap before being cleared to get back on the floor. With Golden State holding on to the last play-in spot, the team needs Curry back soon. But they won't rush him back before he's 100%. Nonetheless, if he remains sidelined versus the Lakers, Chris Paul, who is averaging 12.7 points, 7.4 assists, and 1.4 steals in 14 starts this season, would continue to handle most of the work at the 1.

Fri Mar 1518:41James Harden Remains Out On FridayJames HardenSGThunderFree Agent
Los Angeles Clippers guard James Harden (shoulder) will sit out a second consecutive game on Friday against New Orleans. The former MVP has sustained a left shoulder strain, relinquishing his starter's spot to Bones Hyland. Hyland produced a nice 17-point, 11-assist double-double on Thursday versus Chicago, adding five rebounds and four steals. He should be a good streaming option again on Friday, although it's going to be a much more difficult matchup.

Fri Mar 1516:06Tobias Harris Receives Questionable Tag For SaturdayTobias HarrisSFBucksFree Agent
Philadelphia 76ers forward Tobias Harris (ankle) suffered a sprained ankle late in their game against the Milwaukee Bucks on Thursday and is now considered questionable for Saturday night. The veteran wing planted awkwardly and fell in pain, but he was able to stay in the game and finish it out. The team will likely have him test out the ankle during shootaround and warmups before making a judgment on his game status. Over the past few games, Harris hasn't been shooting particularly well, and he's even disappeared to the tune of two points against the New York Knicks. If he has to miss any time, Buddy Hield would likely move into the starting five while Nicolas Batum and Kenyon Martin Jr. will see added minutes.

Fri Mar 1515:11James Harden Questionable Friday Against PelicansJames HardenSGThunderFree Agent
Los Angeles Clippers guard James Harden (shoulder) has received another questionable tag for their Friday night matchup with the New Orleans Pelicans. The former MVP was forced to miss the first half of their back-to-back on Thursday with a shoulder strain and he may be forced to miss a second consecutive contest. Since Russell Westbrook (hand) is also out, Terance Mann and Bones Hyland both joined the starting five against the Chicago Bulls. Hyland put together a double-double with 17 points and 11 assists while Mann couldn't find much of a shooting rhythm. If Harden has to miss another game, both Hyland and Mann can serve as solid streaming options.

Thu Mar 1418:40James Harden Ruled Out On ThursdayJames HardenSGThunderFree Agent
Los Angeles Clippers guard James Harden (shoulder) won't play on Thursday against the Bulls. He's been dealing with a shoulder strain for the last few games but has played through it. However, there's been talk of lightening his workload heading toward the postseason, so he'll finally get the night off. Fortunately for the Clippers, Kawhi Leonard (back) is active. Bones Hyland will also move into the starting lineup, making him an attractive streaming option in all fantasy setups. Hyland will also see plenty of attention in DFS contests.

Wed Mar 1320:08James Harden Uncertain For Thursday NightJames HardenSGThunderFree Agent
Los Angeles Clippers guard James Harden (shoulder) is questionable ahead of Thursday's game in Chicago. Harden has routinely appeared on the injury report of late because of a left shoulder strain. However, it hasn't kept him off the floor. There has been chatter about lightening his workload to keep him healthy for a deep postseason push, so he might sit this one out, especially since the Clippers will travel to New Orleans for a Friday night battle with the Pelicans. That said, if Harden gets the night off, Amir Coffey and Bones Hyland could earn more minutes, although neither player can be trusted for fantasy production.

Wed Mar 1319:09Jimmy Butler Available On WednesdayJimmy ButlerSFBullsFree Agent
Miami Heat forward Jimmy Butler (illness) is available ahead of Wednesday's game against the Denver Nuggets. As expected, Butler will be back on the court despite dealing with a minor illness. He'll be asked to continue carrying a heavy load on offense with Tyler Herro (foot) still sidelined. Duncan Robinson will also see a boost in value with Herro unavailable. Fantasy managers should make sure to get Butler back in their lineups on Wednesday.

Tue Mar 1220:13Stephen Curry Cleared For On-Court WorkStephen CurryPGWarriorsFree Agent
Golden State Warriors guard Stephen Curry (ankle) is cleared to resume on-court activities. While he won't play on Wednesday night in Dallas, he is expected to practice with the team on Friday in Los Angeles. If all goes well, there's a chance the 35-year-old will be back in the lineup on Saturday versus the Lakers. Despite his age, Curry has remained a top fantasy option. He's averaged 26.9 points and shot 40.7% from deep in 59 games this season. The Warriors need him back soon, considering the team is fighting to remain in the play-in race. But until Curry returns, Chris Paul Should get most of the minutes at the one spot. Paul has averaged 13.0 points, 7.6 assists, and 1.5 steals in 13 starts during the 2023-24 campaign, giving him value for fantasy managers in all formats.

Tue Mar 1215:50Jimmy Butler Expected To Play After Missing PracticeJimmy ButlerSFBullsFree Agent
Miami Heat forward Jimmy Butler (illness) didn't practice on Tuesday, but he's probable for Wednesday's game versus the Denver Nuggets. Dealing with an illness, Butler is expected to play in Wednesday's 2023 NBA Finals rematch. The Nuggets are yielding the fewest fantasy points per game to opposing small forwards, but the two-way superstar is attaining second-round figures in nine-category settings across his latest eight performances on averages of 23.3 points, 6.8 rebounds, 5.3 assists, 1.8 three-pointers, and 1.0 steals.

Tue Mar 1215:43Kristaps Porzingis, Al Horford Both Out TuesdayAl HorfordCHawksFree Agent
Kristaps PorzingisFree Agent
Boston Celtics centers Kristaps Porzingis (hamstring) and Al Horford (toe) are both out for Tuesday's meeting with the Utah Jazz. A strained right hamstring will cost Porzingis a third straight game, and a sprained left big toe will sideline Horford on the second night of Boston's back-to-back after the Celtics defeated the Portland Trail Blazers on Monday. Both big men will set their sights toward returning for Thursday's duel with the Phoenix Suns. The Celts will be very thin in the middle against Utah, so Luke Kornet should be thrust into a featured role at the five as a chalky DFS value play. The 28-year-old rim protector has played at least 30 minutes in both of his starts this year, averaging 13.0 points, 8.5 rebounds, 3.5 assists, and 3.0 blocks over these two appearances.

Tue Mar 1215:02Stephen Curry Not Expected To Play WednesdayStephen CurryPGWarriorsFree Agent
Golden State Warriors head coach Steve Kerr doesn't expect guard Stephen Curry (ankle) to play in Wednesday's game against the Dallas Mavericks. Curry's sprained right ankle that he sustained in last Thursday's loss to the Chicago Bulls is set to be re-evaluated on Tuesday, but fantasy managers should consider him doubtful at best against Dallas. Assuming he's soon officially ruled out for Wednesday, the 35-year-old two-time MVP's next chance to return comes during Saturday's showdown with the Los Angeles Lakers. Chris Paul has orchestrated Golden State's offense and enjoyed heightened fantasy value in Curry's stead, starting the past two contests and averaging 14.8 points, 7.3 assists, 5.3 rebounds, 2.0 steals, and 2.2 three-pointers over four appearances without Curry this year.
