Los Angeles Clippers forward Kawhi Leonard (knee) has been ruled out for Tuesday's game against the Sacramento Kings. This comes out of nowhere, as Leonard was not spotted on the original injury report with his right knee soreness. The 32-year-old six-time All-Star will miss his first game since March 10, and he'll hope to return during the fantasy finals for Thursday's clash against the defending-champion Denver Nuggets after returning to LA for treatment on Tuesday. Sixth man Norman Powell will vault into the Clips' starting lineup in a favorable matchup against the Kings, who are giving up the fifth-most threes per game (2.9) to opposing small forwards. Powell has hit double scoring figures in 11 straight appearances, averaging 16.3 points on 50.8% shooting from the field, 2.5 rebounds, and 2.0 triples in 27.9 minutes covering this span.

Golden State Warriors guard Klay Thompson (knee) is listed as probable ahead of Tuesday's game against the Dallas Mavericks. Thompson recently missed a game due to this knee issue, but should be available for the second straight game on Tuesday. He was able to play 29 minutes during his return to the court on Sunday. The assumption is that he'll have a similar workload on Tuesday, assuming he plays. Fantasy managers will have to check back on Tuesday for another update.

Detroit Pistons forward/center Taj Gibson (hamstring) won't be in the lineup against Memphis on Monday. The veteran has been downgraded from doubtful to out. Gibson likely wouldn't have seen time on the court anyway, as he's only played in one game for the Pistons since signing with the team on March 6. His next opportunity to play will come on Wednesday versus Atlanta.

Los Angeles Lakers forward LeBron James (ankle) and center Anthony Davis (knee) are both listed as questionable for Tuesday's tilt against the Toronto Raptors. Tuesday marks the fifth outing of a six-game road trip for the Lakers, with another game on tap in a quick turnaround for Wednesday against the Washington Wizards. James, dealing with an ankle problem, and Davis, managing a knee issue, have been on LA's injury report essentially all season, and one or both could sit out on the front end of the back-to-back against a Raptors group that hasn't won a game since March 3. D'Angelo Russell and Austin Reaves may be in line for expanded workloads if James and/or Davis are out on Tuesday, with Russell averaging 22.4 points, 10.8 assists, 5.5 rebounds, 1.4 steals, and 3.3 treys across 10 games without James this year and signifying an elite fantasy play in these scenarios.

Detroit Pistons forward/center Taj Gibson (hamstring) is considered doubtful to play versus Memphis on Monday. The veteran big man is battling a hamstring strain. Gibson has featured just once for Detroit since joining the club on March 6 -- an 11-minute effort against Boston -- and his absence doesn't impact the team in any way. Jalen Duren leads Detroit's frontcourt with the support of James Wiseman, Tosan Evbuomwan, and Chimezie Metu. The Pistons bigs face a tough challenge on Monday against Jaren Jackson Jr., who won the Defensive Player of the Year Award a season ago.

Golden State Warriors guard Klay Thompson (knee) will play on Sunday night against San Antonio. The 34-year-old missed the Dubs previous contest versus Charlotte because of a knee issue. However, he's good to go for this one. Thompson played relatively well in March, averaging 18.1 points while shooting 40.8% from behind the arc. He's played even better in three meetings with San Antonio this season, making him a viable DFS option in any format.

Los Angeles Lakers stars LeBron James (ankle) and Anthony Davis (knee) will play on Sunday against Brooklyn. Both players have been upgraded from questionable to available. The two will be looking to finish off a good month in style. James has posted 24.8 points, 8.5 rebounds, and 9.4 assists in March, while Davis boasts 11 double-doubles from 12 appearances this month, averaging 22.8 points and 14.5 rebounds with 2.1 blocks and 1.3 steals.

Los Angeles Lakers forward LeBron James (ankle) is questionable for Sunday's game in Brooklyn. As usual, the multi-time MVP appears on the injury report because of the left ankle issue he's been battling for months. While there's a chance he might miss this one, the Lakers need a win, meaning he should be on the floor. However, if James isn't out there, D'Angelo Russell, Austin Reaves, and Anthony Davis (knee) should pick up most of the slack on the offensive end.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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).

Los Angeles Lakers forward LeBron James (ankle) is questionable heading toward Friday's matchup with the Pacers. He's been dealing with a left ankle injury for months and has missed time because of it. The 39-year-old recently sat out Tuesday's double-overtime win over the Milwaukee Bucks. Yet, James returned on Wednesday versus Memphis and ended the night by amassing a 23-point, 14-rebound, 12-assist triple-double. The Lakers are currently the No. 9 seed in the Western Conference, so they must extend their five-game winning streak to at least remain in the Play-In conversation. With that in mind, James will likely be on the floor. But if he's not, Rui Hachimura, Austin Reaves, and D'Angelo Russell should all pick up the slack on the offensive end behind Anthony Davis (knee), assuming he's available.

Detroit Pistons forward Taj Gibson (hamstring) is unavailable for Friday's game against the Washington Wizards. Gibson has been suffering from right-hamstring soreness and will miss his sixth consecutive contest. Currently, there is no timetable for when he will return. The veteran forward last played on March 18 against Boston, where he posted just three points, two rebounds, and one steal in 11 minutes of playing time. If the 38-year-old returns this season, he won't be a fantasy factor.

Boston Celtics forward Al Horford (toe) won't play in Thursday's rematch against the Hawks. He continues to be bothered by a toe sprain. However, the 37-year-old logged 36 minutes in Monday's loss to Atlanta, so it's surprising he's unavailable. Fortunately, the C's will get back Jrue Holiday (shoulder) from a five-game absence. But without Horford on the floor, Sam Hauser, averaging 12.6 points and 5.0 rebounds in 10 starts this season, remains a viable fantasy asset.

Boston Celtics guard Jrue Holiday (shoulder) will play on Thursday against the Hawks. The 33-year-old has been sidelined for the last five games because of an AC joint sprain and was listed as questionable for the rematch versus Atlanta. However, he's good to go and won't have any restrictions, which is certainly good news for fantasy managers. Sam Hauser, who has averaged 12.6 points and 5.0 rebounds in 10 starts this year, will head back to the bench. Yet, with Al Horford (toe) out, Hauser could remain involved enough to warrant DFS consideration.

Miami Heat forward Jimmy Butler (illness) is probable for Friday's tilt versus the Portland Trail Blazers. Butler was expected to play through his illness in Tuesday's win over the Cleveland Cavaliers before being surprisingly ruled out, but the Miami Herald's Anthony Chiang also reports the 34-year-old two-way superstar was a limited participant in Thursday's practice. Over 13 games since the All-Star Break, Butler is collecting a strong 21.3 points, 5.5 rebounds, 5.3 assists, 1.7 steals, and 0.9 three-pointers per contest. His return for the Heat would send first-round rookie Jaime Jaquez Jr. to Miami's bench, and Butler would be a must-start season-long fantasy option in a soft matchup with the 19-54 Blazers on Friday.
