Chicago Bulls guard Tre Jones (foot) is listed as questionable ahead of Saturday's game against the Los Angeles Lakers. Jones suffered a left foot injury during Thursday's contest. The X-rays came back negative, so he appears to be only dealing with a minor injury. If he sits, Kevin Huerter (thumb) and Dalen Terry figure to absorb bigger roles in the rotation. Also, Coby White and Josh Giddey would be asked to pick up more of the slack, but both players should already be rostered and started in most fantasy formats.

Chicago Bulls guard Josh Giddey (ankle) has been removed from the injury report ahead of Saturday's game against the Los Angeles Lakers. Giddey will be back in action following a one-game absence due to an ankle issue. When healthy, Giddey has been on a roll over the last month or so. Most nights, Giddey is putting up nearly a triple-double. That being said, Giddey should be rostered and started in most fantasy formats ahead of Saturday's slate.

Utah Jazz guard Jordan Clarkson (foot) has been ruled out ahead of Friday's game against the Boston Celtics. In an unsurprising move, Clarkson will take a seat as the Jazz continue to tank. The 31-year-old is dealing with left foot plantar fasciitis, so hopefully rest will help him. His next chance to get on the court will be Sunday against the Cleveland Cavaliers. Svi Mykhailiuk and Isaiah Collier should see increased roles with Clarkson on the sideline. Collier is the much better streaming choice between the two players for Friday's slate.

Portland Trail Blazers guard Anfernee Simons (illness) is listed as questionable heading into Friday's game against the Denver Nuggets. It's worth noting that center Donovan Clingan is also dealing with an illness and has been ruled out for this game. It could be something going around the locker room, so more players might be late additions to the injury report. If he sits, Scoot Henderson figures to do more of the ball handling which would increase his fantasy value. Fantasy managers will need to check back closer to tip-off.

Phoenix Suns guard Grayson Allen (foot) has been ruled out ahead of Friday's game against the Cleveland Cavaliers. Allen will now miss his sixth game in a row due to a strained left foot. The team hasn't given a timetable on his return, but his next chance to play will be against the Milwaukee Bucks on Monday. The expectation is that Collin Gillespie and Royce O'Neale should see additional playing time with Allen out again. Between the two, O'Neale is the better fantasy option due to his defensive ability.

Portland Trail Blazers forward Jerami Grant (knee) has been downgraded to out ahead of Friday's game against the Denver Nuggets. In an unsurprising development, Grant has been ruled out for this game after being listed as doubtful coming into it. This marks his fifth absence in a row and it's unclear how much the Blazers plan to use Grant down the stretch of the season. Toumani Camara and Kris Murray should see increased roles once again on Friday. However, Shaedon Sharpe has been benefitting the most from Grant's absence and should continue being a solid fantasy option.

Philadelphia 76ers guard/forwardLonnie Walker IV(concussion) has been cleared to suit up for Friday's matchup with the San Antonio Spurs. The 26-year-old sustained a concussion last week but will return to the court after missing five consecutive contests. He has played in 10 games for the 76ers this season, averaging 8.2 points, 3.3 rebounds, and 1.9 assists in 19.2 minutes per contest. His return will bring some relief to a Sixers roster decimated by injuries.

Memphis Grizzlies forward/centerBrandon Clarke(knee) won't play against the Los Angeles Clippers on Friday. Clarke suffered a right knee injury during Wednesday's game against Portland. He played only five minutes in the contest, posting zero points and one rebound. His next chance to return to the court is Tuesday against the Jazz. While the 28-year-old is out of action, Zach EdeyandMarvin Bagley will take on the available minutes at center..

Miami Heat forward Andrew Wiggins (ankle) has been cleared to play ahead of Friday's game against the Houston Rockets. As expected, Wiggins has been cleared to play after being listed as probable on the injury report. Wiggins is back in action after missing the last two games due to an ankle issue. He should move back into the starting five and have his regular role in the rotation. Jaime Jaquez Jr. and Haywood Highsmith will likely see reduced roles with Wiggins back in the mix.

According to Josh Robbins of The Athletic, Orlando Magic guardCole Anthony(toe) won't suit up against the Washington Wizards on Friday. He has been battling a sprained toe that will keep him off the floor for a second straight game. Cory Joseph will likely start again in Anthony's place this evening. Joseph collected 12 points, six rebounds, and three assists in 30 minutes during Thursday's 113-93 victory over New Orleans. Unfortunately for fantasy managers, with Paolo Banchero andFranz Wagner still out, Joseph isn't a reliable option going into tonight's contest.

New Orleans Pelicans forward/centerZion Williamson(back) won't play against the Minnesota Timberwolves on Friday. Williamson was previously left off the injury but will now be sidelined due to a lower back contusion. The Pelicans superstar had played in two straight games, and on Wednesday, he finished with 29 points, five rebounds, eight assists, and three steals across 30 minutes against the Timberwolves. Bruce Brown will have an increased role with Williamson on the shelf this evening.

Charlotte Hornets guardLaMelo Ball(ankle) will be out of action for Friday's game against the Oklahoma City Thunder. Ball will sit out the second half of back-to-back games for right ankle injury management. The 23-year-old is coming out of a 25-point effort where he also logged five rebounds and eight assists in 28 minutes during Thursday's 115-98 win over the Knicks. The Hornets will have several holes in their roster for this evening due to injuries, meaning Nick Smith,Josh Green, and DaQuan Jeffries could see expanded roles. Unfortunately, these three players won't make much of an impact on fantasy during tonight's matchup.

Portland Trail Blazers forwardJerami Grant(knee) is doubtful for Friday against the Denver Nuggets. Grant could sit out a sixth consecutive game due to an issue with his right knee.Deni Avdija's fantasy production has dramatically increased in Grant's absence. Avdija exploded for 31 points, 16 rebounds, eight assists and two blocks in 39 minutes of work during Wednesday's 115-99 win over the Grizzlies.Kris MurrayandMatisse Thybulle couldalso help to fill the void left by Grant if he's out, but they lack fantasy value.

Denver Nuggets forward/centerAaron Gordon(calf, ankle) is probable for Friday's matchup with the Portland Trail Blazers. Gordon has played in the Nugget's last two games despite being listed still on the injury report for right calf injury management and a sprained left ankle. If the 29-year-old can suit up, he will likely start at the center asNikola Jokic(ankle), who is still sidelined with an ankle issue. He could also factor in fantasy this evening with the extra minutes available after finishing with 26 points, 11 rebounds, and one steal across 30 minutes in a 120-108 loss to the Lakers during his last outing on Wednesday.

Denver Nuggets center Nikola Jokic (ankle) has been ruled out for his third game in a row on Friday and will watch the contest against the Portland Trail Blazers from the sidelines. The three-time MVP rarely misses games, but will now miss at least three of the team's four games this week. That comes as a huge blow to many fantasy managers who are either already in the playoffs or trying to get into the fantasy postseason. Peyton Watson joined the starting five in Jokic's place on Wednesday and registered 12 points, two rebounds, two assists, and one block. There is no direct replacement for Jokic, so fantasy managers will likely have to aim for quantity over quality with their streaming options.

Denver Nuggets guard Jamal Murray (ankle) is dealing with an ankle sprain and has been listed as questionable for their Friday night matchup with the Portland Trail Blazers. This could be Murray's third straight missed contest, which would be a big blow since Nikola Jokic (ankle) will miss his third straight game. If Murray doesn't suit up, Christian Braun (foot) will likely see a bump in usage while Russell Westbrook will continue to see playing time with the starting five. On Wednesday night, Westbrook finished with 12 points, nine assists, four rebounds, and two steals while Braun registered 10 points, four rebounds, and three assists.

Utah Jazz forward Lauri Markkanen (personal) will miss his 24th game of the season on Friday as the team has ruled him out for personal reasons against the Boston Celtics. The youth movement has been in full effect for the Jazz as they try to inch closer to better odds for the number-one draft pick. John Collins (ankle) has also been ruled out of this game, so the starting frontcourt will likely continue to feature Walker Kessler, Kyle Filipowski, and Cody Williams. Filipowski would be the best streaming option as he's enjoyed a great March with averages of 15.8 points, 7.4 rebounds, and 2.4 assists per game while shooting 52.9% from the floor and 43.1% from three.

Utah Jazz forward John Collins (ankle) will miss his fifth consecutive game on Friday while he continues to suffer from a sprained left ankle. The Jazz have fully embraced the youth movement as they head towards better odds in the draft lottery. Since Lauri Markkanen (personal) is also out, Walker Kessler and Kyle Filipowski will likely remain in the starting five like their last game. Filipowski is available in a wider range of leagues and just posted 21 points, four rebounds, and two assists in their last game against the Washington Wizards.

Philadelphia 76ers forward Kelly Oubre Jr. (knee) will miss his fifth consecutive outing as the team ruled him out with the same knee sprain he suffered against the Toronto Raptors on March 12. The 76ers are far from the playoff race and are one of the most injured teams in the league at the moment, Oubre likely won't be rushed back for any reason. While he watches from the sidelines, Jared Butler, Justin Edwards, and Quentin Grimes have all been quality streaming options. Since Grimes is likely the most rostered, Butler and Edwards give some good value in scoring and guard stats. Edwards recently posted 19 points, two assists, two rebounds, and two steals in their last game on Wednesday.

Miami Heat forward Andrew Wiggins (ankle) appeared on the injury report for Friday's matchup with the Houston Rockets but is considered probable despite the ankle impingement. Wiggins' tenure in Miami has been bumpy so far as he's appeared in 10 of a possible 19 games and has averaged 18.3 points, 4.2 rebounds, 2.9 assists, 1.0 steals, and 1.0 blocks per contest with shooting splits of .422/.309/.755. His value is undeniable when he is on the court though, especially for fantasy managers in the playoffs of category leagues. With his return, Jaime Jaquez Jr. will likely take the biggest fantasy hit as he moves back to the bench.
