Sat Apr 1319:40Anthony Davis Probable Versus New Orleans On SundayAnthony DavisPFPelicansFree Agent
Los Angeles Lakers forward Anthony Davis (eye) is listed as probable for Sunday's regular-season finale with New Orleans. AD has not only been dealing with an eye injury, but he also missed time because of an illness. However, he suited up Friday against Memphis and posted 36 points, 14 rebounds, five assists, and two blocks in 43 minutes, helping the Lakers move up to the No. 8 seed in the Western Conference. The Lakers can clinch the No. 8 seed with a win in Sunday's regular-season finale, so AD and the other starters will see plenty of extra minutes in New Orleans.

Sat Apr 1315:56Andre Drummond Out Again On SundayAndre DrummondCPistonsFree Agent
Chicago Bulls center Andre Drummond (ankle) won't play on Sunday against the Knicks. The veteran sprained his ankle when these clubs met on Tuesday and has missed Chicago's previous two contests. The team hopes to have him back for the Play-In. However, there's the possibility that Drummond won't be on the floor for the Bulls again this season. As of Saturday afternoon, Nikola Vucevic isn't listed on the injury report after resting on Friday in the win over the Orlando Magic. But if Vucevic doesn't suit up, Adama Sanogo, coming off a 22-point, 20-rebound showing, would see plenty of interest from DFS Managers.

Sat Apr 1315:26Joel Embiid Questionable For Regular-Season FinaleJoel EmbiidC76ersFree Agent
Philadelphia 76ers center Joel Embiid (knee) is questionable for Sunday's regular-season finale versus the Brooklyn Nets. The reigning MVP amassed 32 points, 13 rebounds, seven assists, and a block in the win over the Orlando Magic on Friday evening. He might have been even more productive. However, Embiid tweaked his left knee, forcing him to exit briefly before the end of the first half. Philly still has a shot to avoid a Play-In, so there's a chance Embiid could be out there. Yet, Nick Nurse may hold him out and rely on Mo Bamba and Paul Reed to handle things underneath the rim.

Fri Apr 1223:37Joel Embiid Tweaks Knee In Win Over OrlandoJoel EmbiidC76ersFree Agent
Philadelphia 76ers center Joel Embiid (knee) logged 32 minutes in Friday's much-needed victory over the Orlando Magic. He finished with a 32-point, 13-rebound double-double, adding seven assists and a block. However, the reigning MVP took a hard fall in the second quarter, with head coach Nick Nurse reporting that he tweaked the same knee that kept him off the floor for over two months. Fortunately, Nurse indicated that Embiid didn't experience any swelling, which allowed him to return in the second half to finish the game. Of course, this is still concerning, especially with the postseason around the corner. He will be reassessed on Saturday, although there's a good chance he won't suit up for the season finale on Sunday against the Brooklyn Nets.

Fri Apr 1222:21Kyrie Irving Ruled Out Sunday For Mavs Regular Season FinaleKyrie IrvingPGCavaliersFree Agent
Dallas Mavericks guard Kyrie Irving (hamstring) didn't suit up on Friday, and he is now ruled out for Sunday's matchup with the Thunder, the team's final regular season game. Irving will get a whole week of rest before the playoffs begin. The star point guard averaged 25.6 points, 5.0 rebounds, 5.2 assists and 1.3 steals in 35.0 minutes across 58 contests during this year's campaign. Luka Doncic (ankle) will also not play Sunday. P.J. Washington, Tim Hardaway Jr., and Dante Exum may see a significant uptick in fantasy production on Sunday.

Fri Apr 1221:26Klay Thompson Available Versus The PelsKlay ThompsonSGWarriorsFree Agent
Golden State Warriors guard Klay Thompson (knee) will play on Friday against the Pelicans. Thompson had a team-high 27 points in Tuesday's win over the Los Angeles Lakers. However, he didn't suit up for Thursday's narrow win over the Portland Trail Blazers. But the Warriors took care of business without the 34-year-old, so he's ready to roll for the pivotal clash with New Orleans. With Thompson back on the floor, Brandin Podziemski and Moses Moody could see fewer minutes than usual.

Fri Apr 1219:39Anthony Davis Active Versus MemphisAnthony DavisPFPelicansFree Agent
Los Angeles Lakers forward Anthony Davis (eye) will play on Friday against Memphis. He was listed as probable, so the update isn't a surprise. But AD has not only been dealing with an eye injury, but he also missed time because of an illness. As a result, Davis could see fewer minutes if the Lakers build a decisive lead over the injury-plagued Grizzlies.

Fri Apr 1219:32LeBron James Available Versus MemphisLeBron JamesSFHeatFree Agent
Los Angeles Lakers forward LeBron James (ankle) will play on Friday against the Grizzlies. The 39-year-old has battled an ankle injury for months. He also most recently missed a meeting against the Timberwolves because of Flu-like symptoms. But despite the constant mentions on the injury report, he's coming off a strong showing, amassing 33 points, 11 assists, seven rebounds, and two steals in Tuesday's loss to Golden State. With that in mind, James could have a tough time being as productive if the Lakers build a decisive lead against the injury-plagued Grizzlies.

Fri Apr 1219:23Aaron Gordon Available Versus The SpursAaron GordonFMagicFree Agent
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.

Fri Apr 1219:16Nikola Jokic Will Meet The SpursNikola JokicCNuggetsFree Agent
Denver Nuggets center Nikola Jokic (hip) will play on Friday versus San Antonio. No surprise here, as the multi-time MVP has been on the injury report over the last few weeks. With that said, Jokic has had a fantastic year. However, he's dominated the Spurs this season, most recently amassing 42 points, 16 rebounds, six assists, and two blocks when these clubs met on April 2.

Fri Apr 1218:39Joel Embiid Will Play On FridayJoel EmbiidC76ersFree Agent
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.

Fri Apr 1218:36Clint Capela Will Play On FridayClint CapelaFRocketsFree Agent
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.

Fri Apr 1218:29Brook Lopez Upgraded To Available For FridayBrook LopezCNetsFree Agent
Milwaukee Bucks center Brook Lopez (rest) will be available to play in Friday's contest against the Oklahoma City Thunder. The 36-year-old appeared as questionable on the injury report earlier but has now been cleared to take the court. He has scored in double figures in five straight games and will likely have more opportunities to score in this match-up since the Bucks will be without Damian Lillard (adductor) and Giannis Antetokounmpo (calf). Lopez has also been busy on the defensive end, recording at least two blocks in each of his previous four games.

Fri Apr 1218:20Kyle Lowry Returning For Philadelphia On FridayKyle LowryPGRaptorsFree Agent
Philadelphia 76ers point guard Kyle Lowry (knee) will return from a two-game absence on Friday versus Orlando. He's set to link up with Tyrese Maxey (hip) on the backcourt, pushing Cameron Payne to the bench. De'Anthony Melton could also lose playing time with Lowry's return. This is a bad fantasy matchup for Philadelphia against a slow-paced team, and Lowry hasn't been a great asset for managers. The veteran is averaging only 6.7 points, 2.7 rebounds, and 3.3 assists for the month.

Fri Apr 1218:16Khris Middleton WIll Play On FridayKhris MiddletonSFBucksFree Agent
Milwaukee Bucks forward Khris Middleton (ankle) will be available to play in Friday's game against the Oklahoma City Thunder. The sharpshooter sat out Wednesday's game versus the Orlando Magic due to left ankle injury management, but he will be able to suit up for this next contest against one of the top teams in the Western Conference. Both Damian Lillard (adductor) and Giannis Antetokounmpo (calf) are not playing, which will likely put a lot of playmaking responsibility into the hands of Middleton.

Kristaps PorzingisFree Agent
Boston Celtics forward/center Kristaps Porzingis (hamstring) and forward/center Al Horford (toe) will step out of the lineup on Friday against Charlotte. After losing to New York 118-109 on Thursday, Boston gives all of its key guys rest on Friday, with Xavier Tillman Sr. and Luke Kornet direct beneficiaries from the frontcourt absentees. The stage is set for the two to perform well against a team that gives up the third-most points and the second-most rebounds in the league to opposing centers.

Derrick WhiteFree Agent
Boston Celtics guards Jrue Holiday (knee) and Derrick White (ankle) won't be in the lineup on Friday versus Charlotte. Boston will run with its bench mob against the Hornets, as the entire starting five plus Al Horford (toe) has been ruled out. Payton Pritchard will get the keys to the backcourt, with Jaden Springer and Svi Mykhailiuk also in a position to benefit from the absences of Holiday and White.

Fri Apr 1217:53Dennis Schroder Won't Play On FridayDennis SchroderPGHawksFree Agent
Brooklyn Nets guard Dennis Schroder (Achilles) won't play on Friday against the Knicks. The veteran has played well since getting moved to Brooklyn. However, the team has nothing left to play for, so Schroder may be done for the remainder of the 2023-24 campaign. With Dennis Smith Jr. (hip) also out, Jacob Gilyard (hip) could slide into the starting lineup if he's cleared to play. But the offense should continue to run through Cam Thomas and Mikal Bridges regardless of who's at the one.

Fri Apr 1217:48DeMar DeRozan Rested On FridayDeMar DeRozanSGRaptorsFree Agent
Chicago Bulls guard/forward DeMar DeRozan (rest) will get the night off on Friday versus Washington. The Bulls have nothing left to play for and complete a back-to-back set, so it's completely understandable that the team gives DeRozan some time off. Coby White is set to be the only regular starter in the lineup and should get heavy usage in a good matchup against a struggling team. Meanwhile, Chicago's bench mob led by Dalen Terry will get an opportunity to show what they are capable of in larger roles.

Fri Apr 1217:44Nikola Vucevic Will Not Play On FridayNikola VucevicCMagicFree Agent
Chicago Bulls center Nikola Vucevic (rest) won't feature against the Wizards on Friday. He sits out the second leg of a back-to-back for rest purposes. With Andre Drummond (ankle) already on the shelf, it looks like we'll get to know Adama Sanogo a lot better on Friday. Smaller lineups could also give extra playing time to Dalen Terry, Torrey Craig, and Javonte Green.
