Denver Nuggets forward Aaron Gordon (foot) will play on Friday against the Spurs. He's been dealing with a foot issue for at least a few weeks. While it cost him a couple of games, he was available for Wednesday's pivotal win over the Minnesota Timberwolves. The Nuggets are looking for a solid end to the regular season, meaning Gordon could be in for a big night.

Philadelphia 76ers center Joel Embiid (knee) will play on Friday versus the Magic. He was listed as questionable for this contest. But with the Sixers looking to bolster their chances of avoiding the Play-In, the reigning MVP will be on the floor. With that said, although Embiid is still working his way back from his lengthy layoff, he could still finish as one of the highest-scoring DFS options on Friday night.

Atlanta Hawks center Clint Capela will be in the lineup on Friday against Minnesota. He was initially listed as questionable for the game, as Atlanta considered resting Capela, but the Swiss big man has been upgraded to available. However, the Hawks have nothing left to play for, so Capela's role could be limited in Friday's contest. It's a tough matchup for him as well against a team that boasts a strong frontcourt.

Atlanta Hawks center Clint Capela (rest) has been listed as questionable against the Minnesota Timberwolves on Friday due to rest. As of Friday, the Hawks are locked into the play-in tournament and they're two games behind the Chicago Bulls for the ninth seed. If they give Capela a rest day, it seems like the team is okay with heading into the play-in as the tenth seed with the most difficult road to the postseason. If Capela plays, he'd be a solid DFS option as his price tag would be on the cheaper side, but if he's sidelined, Bruno Fernando would be the main streaming option.

Denver Nuggets forward Aaron Gordon (foot) is probable ahead of Friday's showdown with the Spurs. The veteran has been bothered by a strained right foot for weeks. While the ailment cost him a few games, he was on the floor in Wednesday's much-needed win over the Minnesota Timberwolves. The Nuggets are looking to close out the 2023-24 campaign in decisive fashion heading toward the postseason, so Gordon and company all deserve consideration for any DFS contest on Friday night.

Philadelphia 76ers center Joel Embiid (knee) carries a questionable tag ahead of Friday's clash with Orlando. The reigning MVP has sat out one game since his return to the lineup, but that was in a back-to-back situation, so it appears likely that Embiid will take the court against the Magic. The big guy has been limited to 30.0 minutes a night since his return, but Embiid has still crushed it by averaging 30.0 points, 8.3 rebounds, 4.3 assists, 1.3 steals, and 1.8 blocks. The Magic boast some of the strongest defensive numbers in the league versus centers, but Embiid still went for 36 points the last time he was let loose against them.

New York Knicks forward Julius Randle (shoulder) underwent successful surgery on Tuesday. The 29-year-old dislocated his right shoulder in January. While he tried to get back on the floor for the playoffs, he ultimately needed to go under the knife. Randle had another quality year, averaging 24.0 points and 9.2 rebounds in 46 games. He will be re-evaluated in five months, so it appears he might be ready for the start of the 2024-25 campaign. Considering Randle had played at least 71 games in the previous three seasons leading up to this one, the surgery shouldn't be enough to lower his fantasy stock significantly.

Philadelphia 76ers center Joel Embiid made easy work of the Pistons on Tuesday night, scoring a game-high 37 points on 12-for-22 shooting in a 120-102 win. He was 4-for-9 with the three-ball and finished 9-for-10 at the free-throw line while collecting 11 rebounds, eight assists, three steals, and two blocks across 36 minutes. Embiid was seen hobbling a bit in the game, but there hasn't been any official word on a possible injury, so he should be good to go for the final couple of games. We could see a pair of monster performances from Embiid against Brooklyn and Orlando as Philadelphia faces a desperate battle to avoid the play-in tournament.

Philadelphia 76ers center Joel Embiid (knee) will play against Detroit on Tuesday. The team has upgraded him from questionable to available. This will be Embiid's fourth appearance since he returned from a left knee injury. The reigning MVP has filled it up with 27.7 points, 7.3 rebounds, 3.7 assists, 1.0 blocks, and 1.3 steals since his comeback despite averaging only 28.3 minutes. He's averaged over 36 points and 13 rebounds against the Pistons in 2023-24 and should feast again against a weak frontcourt.

Denver Nuggets forward Aaron Gordon (foot) has been ruled out for Tuesday's matchup against the Utah Jazz. Gordon missed their last game on Saturday versus Atlanta due to a right-foot strain. When he has missed time, 21-year-old Peyton Watson has posted 11.0 points, 4.6 rebounds, and 1.9 blocks in seven games. Christian Braun may also see more minutes on the court in Gordon's absence, as he started Saturday and logged 25 minutes.

Milwaukee Bucks point guard Patrick Beverley (ankle) is listed as probable for Tuesday's contest with the Boston Celtics. The 35-year-old has missed the last three games due to a sprained right ankle, but he will likely make his return to the court on Tuesday. Over his last 14 outings, he's averaged 5.6 points and 3.3 rebounds in 21.7 minutes per game. Should the veteran point guard be unable to suit up, his next chance to return comes Wednesday versus the Orlando Magic.

Detroit Pistons shooting guard Evan Fournier (knee) is available for Tuesday's game against the Philadelphia 76ers. Fournier didn't play in Saturday's contest against the New Jersey Nets due to a sore right knee. The 31-year-old French sharpshooter has averaged 4.6 points in 19.0 minutes per game over his last 10 outings. His return won't boost the team's rotation, as Detroit has lost 12 of 13 games.

Detroit Pistons shooting guard Evan Fournier (knee) is listed as probable for Tuesday's game against the Philadelphia 76ers. Fournier didn't suit up for Saturday's contest against the New Jersey Nets due to a sore right knee. Over his last 10 outings, the 31-year-old French sharpshooter has averaged 4.6 points in 19.0 minutes per game. His return won't boost the Pistons, who have lost 12 of 13 games going into Tuesday.

Denver Nuggets forward Aaron Gordon (foot) is listed as questionable ahead of Tuesday's game against the Utah Jazz. Gordon remains uncertain for this game after missing their last contest due to a right foot strain. Christian Braun moved into the starting five but didn't offer much upside during his 25 minutes of playing time. If Braun starts, fantasy managers should probably be able to find a better streaming option with Tuesday's huge slate.

Portland Trail Blazers forward Jerami Grant (hamstring) is listed as doubtful ahead of Tuesday's game against the New Orleans Pelicans. At this point, the Blazers should rule out Grant for the season. This team isn't going to make the postseason, so they are highly unlikely to put Grant on the floor in a few meaningless games. Jabari Walker and Kris Murray are expected to continue starting at the forward spots until further notice.

Philadelphia 76ers center Joel Embiid (knee) is questionable for Tuesday's meeting with the Pistons. The 76ers are at least guaranteed a Play-In spot, so the reigning MVP could miss another contest. Truth be told, Philly doesn't really need him versus the 13-win Pistons. But if Embiid is ruled out, Paul Reed would continue to receive additional interest from DFS managers. In addition, Tyrese Maxey (hip), coming off a 52-point showing on Sunday in the win over the Spurs, would be a popular fantasy option for all DFS contests, assuming he plays, if Embiid misses another contest.

Philadelphia 76ers center Joel Embiid (knee) won't play on Sunday versus the Spurs. The reigning MVP recently returned from a lengthy layoff caused by a knee injury. However, he's played well since getting back on the floor, averaging 27.7 points, 7.3 steals, 3.7 assists, and 1.3 steals. But Philly will at least make the Play-In, so Embiid will get a night off to rest before likely suiting up on Tuesday against the Pistons. As a result, Mo Bamba, averaging 6.3 points, 5.6 rebounds, and 1.3 blocks in 16 starts during the 2023-24 campaign, has value potential for DFS participants.

Denver Nuggets forward Aaron Gordon (foot) is considered probable for Saturday's contest against the Atlanta Hawks. The 28-year-old has played through a right foot strain and has not been limited by the injury. He continues to see his regular minutes as a starter, taking on more responsibility since Jamal Murray (knee) has been sidelined. Gordon can typically be relied on to fill the stat sheet in various ways on both sides of the ball. He has scored at least 18 points in two straight games while contributing to the rebound and assist columns. In addition, he has recorded a steal in three consecutive contests.

Milwaukee Bucks point guard Patrick Beverley (wrist) will miss a second consecutive contest on Friday against Toronto. The team has downgraded him from doubtful to out. Pat Connaughton started in Beverley's place on Wednesday against Memphis, but Damian Lillard (groin) is back in the lineup on Friday, meaning Connaughton will only have minimal fantasy value. Beverley's next chance to return comes on Sunday versus the Knicks.

Portland Trail Blazers forward Jerami Grant (hamstring) will remain out of the lineup on Friday versus Washington. He last played on March 11 and will miss a 13th consecutive game due to a hamstring strain. Jabari Walker put in a monster performance on the glass as Grant's replacement in the starting unit on Wednesday versus Charlotte and should be a busy man again on Friday night. Washington has the league's lowest rebounding rate and the third-lowest defensive rating.
