Sat Mar 2319:02Al Horford Available Versus ChicagoAl HorfordCHawksFree Agent
Boston Celtics forward/center Al Horford (toe) will play on Saturday against the Chicago Bulls. The veteran sat out Friday's win over the Detroit Pistons. But in all fairness, the Celtics didn't need him. Kristaps Porzingis (hamstring) will get the night off to rest after logging 26 minutes on Friday, so Horford will slide into the starting lineup. The 37-year-old has averaged 10.0 points, 6.7 rebounds, and 1.0 blocks in 28 starts this season, meaning he has an excellent chance to crush his DFS value.

Sat Mar 2317:17Al Horford Questionable To Face BullsAl HorfordCHawksFree Agent
Boston Celtics forward/center Al Horford (toe) is regarded as questionable for Saturday's matchup against Chicago. He's strained his left big toe and might be absent for a second consecutive contest. Kristaps Porzingis (hamstring) has already been ruled out for Saturday's game, meaning Boston will be desperate to have Horford available. If he can't go, it should be full steam ahead for Luke Kornet and Xavier Tillman Sr., the backup bigs off the bench, to play a significantly more important role than they usually do. It's going to be a tough challenge, however, with Chicago rolling out Nikola Vucevic and Andre Drummond at the center position.

Sat Mar 2317:11Jrue Holiday Out On SaturdayJrue HolidayPG76ersFree Agent
Boston Celtics guard Jrue Holiday (shoulder) won't play against Chicago on Saturday. The veteran sits out a fourth consecutive game. With Holiday missing, Payton Pritchard has strung together a nice run of good performances and should contribute well again on Saturday in a good matchup. The Bulls struggle to guard the three-point line, giving up the second-most three-point makes in the league, putting Pritchard in a great position to do damage from deep, along with the rest of the C's.

Sat Mar 2309:36Russell Westbrook Set To Return Next WeekRussell WestbrookPGThunderFree Agent
Los Angeles Clippers point guard Russell Westbrook (hand) is expected to be back in the lineup next week. Sources have told ESPN's Adrian Wojnarowski that Westbrook's return might even come as soon as Monday versus Indiana. The former MVP is recovering from a fractured hand suffered on March 1 in a matchup against Washington. Westbrook has been one of the most productive bench players in the league this season, putting up 11.1 points with 5.1 rebounds and 4.4 assists. There could be fireworks from Westbrook straight away in his first game back, as Indiana games are usually played at a very high pace and tend to be high-scoring affairs.

Fri Mar 2222:00Tobias Harris Suiting Up Friday Versus LakersTobias HarrisSFBucksFree Agent
Philadelphia 76ers forward Tobias Harris (ankle) is available for Friday's game against the Lakers. After missing three consecutive contests, Philadelphia will be happy to have Harris back, especially since Joel Embiid (knee) is expected to miss more time. Nicolas Batum will likely not start with the 31-year-old suiting up. If Harris's minutes are limited in the contest, Tyrese Maxey and Kelly Oubre Jr. should do most of the heavy lifting on the offensive end.

Jayson TatumFree Agent
Boston Celtics forward/center Al Horford (toe) will miss Friday's game against the Pistons due to a toe sprain and could also miss Saturday's contest in the Windy City. Jayson Tatum (ankle) will also be out of the lineup with a right ankle injury. Sam Hauser (ankle) is available. He and Luke Kornet could see more time on the court against the worst team in the NBA. If that's the case, Kornet and Hauser could see plenty of attention from fantasy managers.

Fri Mar 2216:25LeBron James Receives Questionable Tag On FridayLeBron JamesSFHeatFree Agent
Los Angeles Lakers forward LeBron James (ankle) picked up another questionable tag on Friday and his status will be updated closer to tip-off against the Philadelphia 76ers. The King has been on the injury report more often than not, especially with the ankle issues that he's been dealing with for a while now. If he's able to play, a big night should be in store against the short-handed Sixers who could also be without Tobias Harris (ankle). If James has to watch from the sidelines, however, Rui Hachimura would be the best streaming option even though Spencer Dinwiddie and Taurean Prince would see some added opportunities as well.

Thu Mar 2122:34Tobias Harris Back On The Injury ReportTobias HarrisSFBucksFree Agent
Philadelphia 76ers forward Tobias Harris (ankle) is questionable for Friday's game against the Lakers. The veteran most recently had the same injury designation before Wednesday's loss to Phoenix. Unfortunately, he wasn't available. The Sixers are trying to climb out of a Play-In spot, so they need Harris back in the lineup as soon as possible, especially since Joel Embiid (knee) is expected to miss more time. But Philly won't rush him back, either, considering he'll be needed for the team to make a deep postseason push. Nonetheless, if Harris misses his fourth consecutive game, Nicolas Batum will presumably stay in the starting lineup. However, Tyrese Maxey and Kelly Oubre Jr. should do most of the heavy lifting on the offensive end.

Thu Mar 2119:18Al Horford Questionable Against DetroitAl HorfordCHawksFree Agent
Boston Celtics forward/center Al Horford (toe) is questionable heading into Friday's game against the Pistons. He has a toe sprain. That said, with Boston taking on the worst team in the National Basketball Association, the veteran may get the night off. There's a chance he could also miss Saturday's contest in Chicago. But with Kristaps Porzingis (hamstring) and Jayson Tatum (ankle) on the injury report for Friday, Sam Hauser (ankle), who is probable, and Luke Kornet may slide into the starting lineup. If that's the case, Kornet and Hauser will see a surge in attention from fantasy managers, especially those looking for value options.

Thu Mar 2118:18Jrue Holiday Ruled Out For FridayJrue HolidayPG76ersFree Agent
Boston Celtics guard Jrue Holiday (shoulder) won't play on Friday versus Detroit. The veteran will miss his third consecutive contest because of an AC joint sprain, and there's a chance he won't suit up for Saturday's game in Chicago. With Jaylen Brown (ankle), Jayson Tatum (ankle), and Kristaps Porzingis (hamstring) questionable, Derrick White could see a substantial bump in fantasy production, assuming Detroit can keep the game relatively close. Payton Pritchard, coming off a 19-point effort in Wednesday's win over the Milwaukee Bucks, would likely enter the starting lineup, ultimately giving him more value for DFS lineups.

Thu Mar 2109:17Wesley Matthews Questionable To Face SunsWesley MatthewsSGTrailblazersFree Agent
Atlanta Hawks guard/forward Wesley Matthews (illness) is a question mark ahead of Thursday's matchup against the Suns. The veteran sniper is feeling under the weather and might not be able to play. With the team battling the injury bug, Matthews has started a couple of games lately, and Jalen Johnson's (ankle) injury has made him a candidate to move into the first unit again on Thursday. Garrison Mathews and Vit Krejci should take care of most of Matthews' minutes if he can't play on Thursday. They are not recommended fantasy targets.

Wed Mar 2021:45Tobias Harris Out Again On WednesdayTobias HarrisSFBucksFree Agent
Philadelphia 76ers forward Tobias Harris (ankle) remains out for Wednesday's game against Phoenix. The 31-year-old has averaged 17.1 points, 6.2 rebounds, and 1.1 steals this season, all up from the 2022-23 campaign. But he'll miss his third-straight contest, so his next chance to suit up will be on Friday against the Lakers. At any rate, Tyrese Maxey should see a significant uptick in scoring opportunities with Harris off the floor. But guys like Nicolas Batum, Kelly Oubre Jr., and Buddy Hield should also benefit.

Wed Mar 2018:20Taj Gibson Ruled Out WednesdayTaj GibsonPFBullsFree Agent
Detroit Pistons Forward Taj Gibson (hamstring) is unavailable for Wednesday's contest with the Indiana Pacers. Gibson has been suffering from right hamstring soreness. He's been playing on a 10-day contract after having the same agreement earlier in the season with the New York Knicks. On Monday, the veteran forward registered just three points, two rebounds, and one steal in 11 minutes of playing time. If the 38-year-old did play Wednesday, he wouldn't be a factor in fantasy play.

Wed Mar 2018:12Jrue Holiday Won't Play On WednesdayJrue HolidayPG76ersFree Agent
Boston Celtics guard Jrue Holiday (shoulder) will miss a second consecutive game on Wednesday against Milwaukee. The team has downgraded him from questionable to out. Payton Pritchard, who's coming off a pair of very strong games, looks set for a large role again in the rotation with Holiday unavailable, especially as Sam Hauser (ankle) also misses the game. Pritchard recently bagged his first double-double of the campaign and put up 23 points against Detroit on Monday.

Wed Mar 2018:01Jimmy Butler Cleared For Action WednesdayJimmy ButlerSFBullsFree Agent
Miami Heat forward Jimmy Butler (foot) will return to the lineup on Wednesday versus Cleveland. He will be back after missing two games with a foot contusion. We should see him take on a very large role, as Bam Adebayo (back) has been ruled out for the contest. Before getting hurt, Butler had upped his game and is averaging 21.3 points, 5.0 rebounds, and 5.3 assists for the month. However, Butler has struggled against the Cavaliers this season, posting only 13.0 points across 32.0 minutes across two previous meetings.

Wed Mar 2015:45Tobias Harris Participates In ShootaroundTobias HarrisSFBucksFree Agent
Philadelphia 76ers forward Tobias Harris (ankle), who is listed as questionable to play on Wednesday against the Phoenix Suns with a sprained right ankle, was seen at the morning shootaround. After missing Philly's past two matchups, Harris appears poised to return on Wednesday. His status could still come down to a game-time decision based on pregame warmups, though. While the 31-year-old star forward has struggled to shoot the ball since coming back from the All-Star break, he's still managing top-75 worth in nine-category leagues on averages of 14.8 points, 7.0 rebounds, 2.3 assists, 1.3 three-pointers, and 2.0 combined steals and blocks through this 12-game span. Harris' return would likely supplant Nicolas Batum from the Sixers' starting lineup, but it's a difficult assignment against a Suns club allowing the seventh-fewest DraftKings points per game to opposing power forwards.

Wed Mar 2015:21Jimmy Butler Spotted At ShootaroundJimmy ButlerSFBullsFree Agent
Miami Heat forward Jimmy Butler (foot) was seen putting up shots after Wednesday's morning shootaround. Butler remains formally listed as questionable for Wednesday's game against the Cleveland Cavaliers due to a right foot contusion that has sidelined him for Miami's past two contests, but he appears to be on the right track to return with this news. The 34-year-old six-time All-Star is providing third-round value in 12-team nine-category leagues since returning the All-Star break, averaging 21.5 points on 50.0% shooting from the field, 5.5 rebounds, 5.5 assists, and 1.6 steals over his last 10 appearances. This clash figures to be a slow-paced defensive slugfest, with Cleveland ranking first in the East in defensive efficiency rating (108.5), but Butler might have a lot of usage on his plate with Tyler Herro (foot) inactive and Bam Adebayo (back) questionable.

Wed Mar 2009:30Kevin Love Remains Out On WednesdayKevin LovePFTimberwolvesFree Agent
Miami Heat forward/center Kevin Love (heel) won't be able to entertain his former fans, as the team has ruled him out for Wednesday's matchup against Cleveland. The veteran has yet to suit up this month and misses an 11th consecutive game with a bruised heel. Love's absence has given Thomas Bryant a boost, as he's been back in the rotation, even posting a pair of double-digit scoring games recently. However, Bryant sees very little action behind starting center Bam Adebayo, and fantasy managers can't really count on him to do the business on a nightly basis. Even Adebayo might struggle on Wednesday versus a team that allows the fourth-fewest points in the league to opposing centers.

Wed Mar 2008:26Tobias Harris Questionable For Wednesday's ActionTobias HarrisSFBucksFree Agent
Philadelphia 76ers forward Tobias Harris (ankle) is considered questionable to play against the Suns on Wednesday. He's in danger of missing a third consecutive game with a right ankle sprain. Nicolas Batum should log another start if Harris can't return. The French veteran has posted 5.7 points, 4.3 rebounds, and 2.3 assists as a member of the first unit this season. He could do a bit more damage offensively against Phoenix, as the matchup is projected to be one of the highest-scoring games on Wednesday's slate.

Tue Mar 1922:51Jrue Holiday Questionable Against MilwaukeeJrue HolidayPG76ersFree Agent
Boston Celtics guard Jrue Holiday (shoulder) is questionable for Wednesday's game against Milwaukee. It will be a battle between the top two teams in the Eastern Conference. However, both clubs could be without some of their top performers. Holiday wasn't available for Sunday's win over the Detroit Pistons because of an AC joint sprain. But with Jaylen Brown (ankle) and Sam Hauser (ankle) questionable, the Celtics may rely mainly on Jayson Tatum, Kristaps Porzingis, and Derrick White for production. Payton Pritchard, coming off a 23-point performance on Sunday, would also be an ideal streaming option if Brown, Holiday, or Hauser don't suit up.
