Tue Mar 1922:33Jimmy Butler Could Miss Another GameJimmy ButlerSFBullsFree Agent
Miami Heat forward Jimmy Butler (foot) is questionable heading into Wednesday's meeting with the Cleveland Cavaliers. The 34-year-old has missed the Heat's previous two games with a right foot bruise. However, he's already missed 21 games during the 2023-24 campaign, so fantasy managers wouldn't be shocked if he doesn't suit up on Wednesday evening. With Tyler Herro (foot) and Duncan Robinson (back) ruled out, Miami needs Butler back in the lineup, considering the team has lost six of their last 10 games. At any rate, Bam Adebayo and Terry Rozier are already must-start fantasy options. Yet, Jaime Jaquez Jr. and Caleb Martin would earn the same label if Butler stays sidelined.

Tue Mar 1921:05Jimmy Butler Questionable For WednesdayJimmy ButlerSFBullsFree Agent
Miami Heat forward Jimmy Butler (foot) is questionable for Wednesday's game against the Cleveland Cavaliers. The Heat star is in danger of missing three consecutive contests with a foot contusion. If Butler is out, Jaime Jaquez Jr.'s fantasy value will go up. On Monday, he was on the court for 35 minutes against the 76ers, where he registered nine points, nine rebounds, four assists and one steal.

Tue Mar 1920:31Taj Gibson Questionable Wednesday Against IndianaTaj GibsonPFBullsFree Agent
Detroit Pistons Forward Taj Gibson (hamstring) is questionable for Wednesday's contest with the Indiana Pacers. He was recently brought in on a 10-day contract after playing with the Knicks on the same agreement earlier in the season. Most recently, on Monday, he posted just three points, two rebounds, and one steal in 11 minutes on the court. Should the 38-year-old suit up Wednesday, fantasy managers shouldn't consider him to bolster their lineup.

Mon Mar 1818:42Kevin Love Misses 10th Consecutive GameKevin LovePFTimberwolvesFree Agent
Miami Heat forward/center Kevin Love (heel) will see his absence stretch to 10 games on Monday against Philadelphia. The veteran is battling a right heel bruise. Thomas Bryant has crept into the rotation lately, but Love's injury means a lot of Bam Adebayo on the Heat frontcourt. Nikola Jovic and Haywood Highsmith have also played larger roles during his absence. With Jovic also out, Highsmith gets a chance to play a very significant role in the rotation, but he flunked as a starter on Sunday versus Detroit, and things won't be any easier for him on Monday in a tougher matchup.

Mon Mar 1818:32Jimmy Butler Ruled Out MondayJimmy ButlerSFBullsFree Agent
Miami Heat forward Jimmy Butler (foot) has been downgraded from questionable to out for Monday's matchup against Philadelphia. The Heat star sits out a second consecutive contest with a foot contusion. Butler's absence boosts the fantasy value of Jaime Jaquez Jr., who moved to the starting unit on Sunday versus Detroit. Meanwhile, it also secures extra offensive usage for Bam Adebayo, Terry Rozier, and Duncan Robinson, who's just posted a big 30-point game.

Mon Mar 1816:07Kristaps Porzingis Probable, Al Horford Out MondayAl HorfordCHawksFree Agent
Kristaps PorzingisFree Agent
Boston Celtics center Kristaps Porzingis (hamstring) is probable for Monday's game versus the Detroit Pistons, but Al Horford (toe) will be unavailable. Porzingis is expected to return from a five-game absence due to a strained right hamstring, while Horford will hit the seats with a sprained left big toe after pitching in 14 points during 23 minutes in Sunday's beatdown of the Washington Wizards. Horford doesn't play both parts of back-to-backs, so he should be good to go for Wednesday's duel with the Milwaukee Bucks. With the veteran sidelined, Porzingis could be thrust into big minutes at the five for the Celts in a favorable situation against a Detroit group that's allowing the third-most FanDuel points to opposing centers. The Latvian All-Star was on an heater before going down, averaging 23.3 points, 8.6 boards, 2.8 triples on 46.7% shooting from deep, and 1.4 swats in 31.9 minutes over his past five games.

Mon Mar 1815:51Tobias Harris Misses Monday’s ShootaroundTobias HarrisSFBucksFree Agent
Philadelphia 76ers forward Tobias Harris (ankle) did not participate in shootaround on Monday morning. After missing Saturday's victory over the visiting Charlotte Hornets and Sunday's practice due to a sprained right ankle, Harris remains very much in danger of missing Monday's meeting with the Miami Heat. The versatile star forward appears to be closer to doubtful than questionable. If Harris is ultimately ruled out on Monday, veteran Nicolas Batum should stay in Philly's starting lineup. Covering four games for the Sixers without Harris in 2023-24, Batum is averaging 5.0 points, 4.8 rebounds, 2.8 assists, 2.7 combined steals plus blocks, and 1.0 triples and would only be a low-end fantasy streamer against a Heat team surrendering the fourth-fewest DraftKings points to opposing power forwards.

Mon Mar 1815:47Jimmy Butler Questionable With Foot ContusionJimmy ButlerSFBullsFree Agent
Miami Heat forward Jimmy Butler (foot) is questionable for Monday's game against the Philadelphia 76ers. A right foot contusion cost Butler the front end of Miami's back-to-back in Sunday's narrow win over the Detroit Pistons, and the two-way superstar forward's status remains up in the air on Monday. Since Tyler Herro (foot) is out of action, the Heat offense would run through Bam Adebayo and Terry Rozier if Butler can't go against the Sixers. First-round rookie Jaime Jaquez Jr. has been the definitive fantasy beneficiary of Butler's absences this season, averaging 15.9 points, 4.6 rebounds, 3.0 assists, 1.2 steals, and 0.9 treys through 20 games without Butler, but the 208.5-point over/under implies this is unlikely to be a high-scoring affair.

Mon Mar 1815:22Jrue Holiday Sitting Against PistonsJrue HolidayPG76ersFree Agent
The Boston Celtics have ruled out guard Jrue Holiday (shoulder) for Monday's contest versus the Detroit Pistons. Dealing with a right shoulder contusion in the aftermath of Sunday's blowout win over the Washington Wizards, Holiday will catch a breather on the second leg of Boston's back-to-back against the last-place Pistons. The two-way star guard should have a good chance at suiting up for Wednesday's clash between two Eastern Conference heavyweights and a revenge game against the Milwaukee Bucks. Derrick White has been a second-round player overall in nine-category fantasy leagues, and across six games without Holiday this year, he's averaging 16.8 points, 5.8 rebounds, 5.8 assists, 2.1 three-pointers, and 2.1 combined steals plus blocks and is in a smash spot against a Detroit team that's allowing the second-most FanDuel points per game to opposing point guards.

Mon Mar 1809:16LeBron James Continues To Carry A Questionable Tag MondayLeBron JamesSFHeatFree Agent
Los Angeles Lakers forward LeBron James (ankle) is once again considered questionable as the team prepares to face the Hawks on Monday night. James recently had to skip a game with a troublesome left ankle, but he's logged 38-plus minutes in all three games since returning, and the questionable designation tends to be more of a likely tag with him. The veteran superstar went off for a near 40-point triple-double on Saturday against the Warriors when Anthony Davis (eye) was limited to just 12 minutes. He's averaging 27.2 points, 8.2 rebounds, 9.5 assists, and 1.3 steals for the month. Performing well against a defensively challenged team like Atlanta shouldn't cause James any issues.

Sun Mar 1723:00Still No Timetable For Russell Westbrook's ReturnRussell WestbrookPGThunderFree Agent
Los Angeles Clippers guard Russell Westbrook (hand) underwent hand surgery back on March 4 and there was initial hope that he would return before the playoffs started. Head coach Tyronn Lue gave an update on Sunday and said Westbrook was "continuing to improve," but there was still no timetable for his return. The former MVP last played on March 1 before hurting his hand. Before that, he didn't miss a single game and since then, the Clippers have been an even 4-4 while he's watched from the sidelines. Westbrook most likely won't be back for the fantasy playoffs, but there's still a chance he's back before the NBA Playoffs kick off.

Sun Mar 1720:48James Harden Available Sunday Versus AtlantaJames HardenSGThunderFree Agent
Los Angeles Clippers guard James Harden (shoulder) is available for Sunday's tilt with the Atlanta Hawks. The 34-year-old has been dealing with a left shoulder strain and has missed the last two games. Before being injured, Harden averaged 17.8 points, 8.6 assists, and 5.4 rebounds in 36.0 minutes per game across five contests. Bones Hyland played 24 minutes on Friday against New Orleans. However, with Harden's return, Hyland will see his minutes reduced on Sunday.

Sun Mar 1717:35Tobias Harris Questionable For Monday's GameTobias HarrisSFBucksFree Agent
Philadelphia 76ers forward Tobias Harris (ankle) has been listed as questionable for Monday's matchup against Miami. Harris missed Saturday's game against Charlotte with a right ankle sprain and couldn't practice on Sunday. The questionable tag leaves his status up in the air, but it's looking likely Harris will miss a second consecutive game. Nicolas Batum notched eight points, eight rebounds, four assists, three steals, and two blocks as Harris' replacement in the starting five on Saturday. It was an outstanding line from the veteran, but fantasy managers shouldn't expect the same on Monday, as Philadelphia faces a much stronger team.

Sun Mar 1713:39Jimmy Butler Sidelined Versus DetroitJimmy ButlerSFBullsFree Agent
Miami Heat forward Jimmy Butler (foot) won't play on Sunday in the rematch with Detroit. Butler has been banged up all season, which is nothing unusual. While he's just as productive as ever, he'll miss his 20th game versus the Pistons. It appears there's a chance he'll be back in the lineup on Monday versus the 76ers, his former team. But with Tyler Herro (foot) out as well, Duncan Robinson, Jaime Jaquez Jr., and Terry Rozier should see more scoring chances. Of course, Bam Adebayo is the favorite to remain the team's No. 1 offensive contributor.

Los Angeles Clippers guard James Harden (shoulder) could miss a third consecutive game against the Atlanta Hawks on Sunday as he is listed as questionable. The 34-year-old has been dealing with a left shoulder strain. More information on Harden's availability should be known after the team's morning shootaround for fantasy managers who him rostered. Bones Hyland will likely see another start if Harden is unable to suit up.

LeBron JamesSFHeatFree Agent
Los Angeles Lakers forward LeBron James (ankle) and center Anthony Davis (Achilles) are both available ahead of Saturday's game against the Golden State Warriors. As expected, James and Davis will play after being on the injury report heading into this game. Both players are dealing with nagging injuries, but continue to play through them a majority of the time. The expectation is that James and Davis will have their normal workload on Saturday. Fantasy managers can go ahead and get him in their lineups.

Sat Mar 1619:36Stephen Curry Expected To PlayStephen CurryPGWarriorsFree Agent
Golden State Warriors guard Stephen Curry (ankle) is expected to suit up for Saturday's game against the Los Angeles Lakers, according to head coach Steve Kerr. All signs are currently pointing to Curry returning to the court after missing the last three games due to a right ankle sprain. There is no word on Curry being limited so fantasy managers should expect the superstar guard to have his normal amount of minutes. Fantasy managers should check back ahead of tip-off for a final decision.

Sat Mar 1617:40Tobias Harris Ruled Out For SaturdayTobias HarrisSFBucksFree Agent
Philadelphia 76ers forward Tobias Harris (ankle) won't take the court against Charlotte on Saturday. The team has downgraded Harris from questionable to out. The veteran forward comes out of the lineup for only the seventh time this season. Harris has had a couple of miserable outings lately, so having some time off might even benefit him. Nicolas Batum will offer some low-tier fantasy value as Harris' replacement in the starting five. The French veteran has posted 5.8 points, 4.1 rebounds, and 2.3 assists in a starting role this season.

Sat Mar 1614:11Taj Gibson Staying In DetroitTaj GibsonPFBullsFree Agent
Forward Taj Gibson is expected to sign a contract on Saturday to remain in Detroit for the remainder of the 2023-24 campaign. He was brought in on a 10-day contract after playing with the Knicks on the same agreement earlier in the season. However, the 38-year-old wasn't productive in New York, averaging 1.0 points and 1.8 rebounds. It hasn't been any better in Detroit, with Gibson failing to see the floor in his five games. With this in mind, the veteran hasn't offered anything to fantasy managers, and that's not expected to change anytime soon.

Sat Mar 1613:43Tobias Harris Misses Morning ShootaroundTobias HarrisSFBucksFree Agent
Philadelphia 76ers forward Tobias Harris (ankle) didn't participate in shootaround on Saturday morning. He remains questionable heading into the meeting with Charlotte because of the ankle he tweaked in Thursday's loss to the Milwaukee Bucks. Philadelphia has 16 games left before the playoffs and currently holds a Play-In spot. However, with Joel Embiid (knee) potentially returning in April, the team needs everyone as healthy as possible for a deep postseason run. As a result, Harris could get the night off versus the 17-50 Hornets, meaning his next chance to suit up will be on Monday against the Miami Heat. But until the 31-year-old is back on the floor, Nicolas Batum would likely enter the starting lineup while also earning value consideration from DFS participants.
