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.

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.

Phoenix Suns center Jusuf Nurkic (ankle) is available to play in Friday's game against the Oklahoma City Thunder. The Suns will get their starting center back after he missed one game due to an ankle sprain. He will have an interesting matchup going against Thunder center Chet Holmgren. Fantasy managers will want to make sure they have Nurkic back in their lineup, as he is averaging a double-double on the season (11.3 PPG and 11 RPB). Drew Eubanks filled in for Nurkic last game but will return to a reserve role on Friday.

Portland Trail Blazers forward Jerami Grant (hamstring) will miss a 10th consecutive game on Friday versus Miami. The team has once again downgraded him to out after initially listing him as doubtful on the injury report with a right hamstring strain. With Toumani Camara (ribs) also absent on Friday, we should see a lot of Kris Murray and Jabari Walker. The young forwards tend to blow hot and cold and will be in a tricky matchup on Friday against a good defensive team, so fantasy managers should look at other options.

Denver Nuggets point guard Jamal Murray (knee) won't return to the lineup on Friday against Minnesota. After the team initially listed him as questionable for the contest, there was hope that Murray would be ready to jump back into action, but Nuggets head coach Michael Malone has now confirmed that Denver's star guard will sit out a fourth consecutive game. This means Reggie Jackson will carry extra fantasy value for at least one more game. He's averaged 16.3 points and 5.3 assists in the last three games as Murray's replacement in the starting unit.

Cleveland Cavaliers guard/forward Caris LeVert (wrist) won't be in the lineup on Friday versus Philadelphia. The team has downgraded LeVert from questionable to out as the 29-year-old battles a sore right wrist. LeVert has struggled badly in the most recent games and having some time off could even be good for him. Donovan Mitchell (nose) will be back on Friday, which will lessen the impact of LeVert's absence. Isaac Okoro and Sam Merrill could play bigger roles off the bench without LeVert, especially with Craig Porter Jr. (illness) also unavailable on Friday.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

Golden State Warriors forward Dario Saric (knee) has been downgraded on Friday and will not play against the Charlotte Hornets. He was originally listed as questionable with a knee issue but has since been ruled out along with Jonathan Kuminga (knee). Both of them were enduring knee soreness and it seems as though the pain was enough to sideline them. Saric missing time won't shake up the rotation all that much as Trayce Jackson-Davis should continue to start in Kuminga's absence while Brandin Podziemski and Moses Moody are the first two off of the bench. Kevon Looney will probably see a bit of time, but not enough to make him a must-play.

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.

The NBA has fined Philadelphia 76ers head coach Nick Nurse and forward Kelly Oubre Jr. $50K each for "verbally abusing and directing an obscene gesture toward game officials." The incident occurred at the conclusion of Wednesday's 108-107 loss to the visiting Los Angeles Clippers after the referees missed a foul call on Kawhi Leonard on Oubre's layup attempt at the buzzer. Although this has no effect on his fantasy value, Oubre is returning top-60 numbers in points leagues during the last month of play. The 28-year-old swingman is averaging 19.4 points, 6.2 rebounds, 2.6 assists, 1.0 steals, and 1.4 three-pointers over his last 13 games, but Oubre will have to deal with a Cleveland Cavaliers defense on Friday that ranks second in the Eastern Conference in efficiency rating (109.0).

Utah Jazz guard Jordan Clarkson (hip) will not play on Friday against the Houston Rockets due to left SI pain. The SI joint can cause pain to radiate to the back, hip, and rear areas. This will be Clarkson's eighth missed game over the last nine contests because of this issue. Clarkson has played well when he has the chance to take the court, but with the team looking to rack up higher picks, Clarkson just hasn't fit the timeline. While he remains sidelined, the youth movement will continue with Keyonte George and Collin Sexton staying in the starting lineup while Kris Dunn returns from suspension and gets a reserve role.

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.

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).

Phoenix Suns center Jusuf Nurkic (ankle) is questionable heading into Friday's game against the Oklahoma City Thunder. Nurkic is in danger of missing his second consecutive game with a sprained right ankle. The Suns started Drew Eubanks in Nurkic's spot during a win over the Denver Nuggets on Wednesday evening. Thaddeus Young and Bol Bol were the reserves to get more time in a game without their starting center active. Nurkic is one of the rare consistent contributors for Phoenix's limited roster depth, and they badly need wins to end the regular season, so keep an eye on the injury report before game time.

Golden State Warriors forward/center Dario Saric (knee) is a game-time decision for Friday's contest with the Hornets due to right knee soreness. Saric has played in three of the last 10 Golden State games, averaging 0.7 points, 0.3 assists, and 0.3 rebounds in 5.3 minutes per contest. If the 29-year-old suits up, Saric will get limited minutes on the court and should not be on any fantasy manager's radar for all fantasy formats.
