The NBA has fined Philadelphia 76ers head coach Nick Nurse and forward Kelly Oubre Jr. $50K each for "verbally abusing and directing an obscene gesture toward game officials." The incident occurred at the conclusion of Wednesday's 108-107 loss to the visiting Los Angeles Clippers after the referees missed a foul call on Kawhi Leonard on Oubre's layup attempt at the buzzer. Although this has no effect on his fantasy value, Oubre is returning top-60 numbers in points leagues during the last month of play. The 28-year-old swingman is averaging 19.4 points, 6.2 rebounds, 2.6 assists, 1.0 steals, and 1.4 three-pointers over his last 13 games, but Oubre will have to deal with a Cleveland Cavaliers defense on Friday that ranks second in the Eastern Conference in efficiency rating (109.0).

Utah Jazz guard Jordan Clarkson (hip) will not play on Friday against the Houston Rockets due to left SI pain. The SI joint can cause pain to radiate to the back, hip, and rear areas. This will be Clarkson's eighth missed game over the last nine contests because of this issue. Clarkson has played well when he has the chance to take the court, but with the team looking to rack up higher picks, Clarkson just hasn't fit the timeline. While he remains sidelined, the youth movement will continue with Keyonte George and Collin Sexton staying in the starting lineup while Kris Dunn returns from suspension and gets a reserve role.

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).

New York Knicks forward OG Anunoby (elbow) has been ruled out for the contest against the San Antonio Spurs on Friday, which pushes his missed-game streak to six in a row. Anunoby came back from his elbow injury for three games but has since gone back to the sidelines after a flare-up in his elbow. The Knicks threw Anunoby back on the court in a full starting role without limitations when he returned, so it seems he took on too much too early. While he's out, Miles McBride should continue to see more opportunities, while Donte DiVincenzo sees an uptick in value as well.

Charlotte Hornets forward Davis Bertans (nose) has been tagged as probable for Friday's game against Golden State due to a nose injury. The sharpshooting forward has played in 34 games, averaging 6.4 points, 2.0 rebounds, 1.3 assists, and 1.1 steals. He's been playing 13.9 minutes per contest, so it will be fine if he's unable to suit up for the Hornets. Fantasy managers should avoid the 31-year-old across all fantasy formats.

Phoenix Suns center Jusuf Nurkic (ankle) is questionable heading into Friday's game against the Oklahoma City Thunder. Nurkic is in danger of missing his second consecutive game with a sprained right ankle. The Suns started Drew Eubanks in Nurkic's spot during a win over the Denver Nuggets on Wednesday evening. Thaddeus Young and Bol Bol were the reserves to get more time in a game without their starting center active. Nurkic is one of the rare consistent contributors for Phoenix's limited roster depth, and they badly need wins to end the regular season, so keep an eye on the injury report before game time.

Golden State Warriors forward/center Dario Saric (knee) is a game-time decision for Friday's contest with the Hornets due to right knee soreness. Saric has played in three of the last 10 Golden State games, averaging 0.7 points, 0.3 assists, and 0.3 rebounds in 5.3 minutes per contest. If the 29-year-old suits up, Saric will get limited minutes on the court and should not be on any fantasy manager's radar for all fantasy formats.

Portland Trail Blazers forward Jerami Grant (hamstring) is listed as doubtful for Friday's game against the Miami Heat due to a right hamstring strain. He sat out the previous nine games, and it sounds like he is trending toward missing another one. There is uncertainty as to when Grant will return to the court. But with Portland well out of the playoff picture, there is no need for him to be rushed back into action. The Trail Blazers frontcourt could be shorthanded for Friday's game, which will likely force Jabari Walker to take on more responsibility.

Brooklyn Nets guard Dennis Smith Jr. (hip) is probable for Friday's game versus the Chicago Bulls. Smith has missed the past two games with his right hip synovitis bothering him. The Nets' backup point guard gets consistent rotation time as a great defender, but he rarely holds fantasy relevance. Dennis Schroder gets most minutes as the starting point guard, and Smith just hopes to fit into the game when healthy. Jacob Gilyard will lose his chance at playing time now that Smith is slated to return. Lonnie Walker IV's diminishing playing time could also benefit Smith by getting more minutes as a reserve guard with his improved health.

Utah Jazz forward Lauri Markkanen (shoulder) is questionable for Friday's matchup against the Rockets. The Jazz are already eliminated from postseason contention, so the 2017 No. 7 overall pick might get another night off to avoid further injury. Markannen's most recent absence was when these clubs met nearly a week ago. Johnny Juzang got the start in that one. However, Brice Sensabaugh logged 27 minutes from the bench and finished with 16 points, four boards, and four assists, making him an ideal DFS value option if Markkanen isn't in the lineup on Friday night.

Washington Wizards center Richaun Holmes (toe) will miss Friday's matchup with Detroit. Holmes left Wednesday's contest against the Nets due to a left toe contusion. With Holmes sidelined, Marvin Bagley III will likely be the starting center. In Holmes's absence, forwards Anthony Gill, Patrick Baldwin, and Tristan Vukcevic should see an uptick in minutes on the court. However, these three players will make little of an impact in DFS on Friday.

Minnesota Timberwolves center Rudy Gobert (rib) is questionable for Friday's clash with the Denver Nuggets. He has a left rib sprain, although he's been playing through the injury. The multi-time Defensive Player of the Year most recently logged 34 minutes in Wednesday's win over the Pistons, ending the night with a double-double with two blocks. The Timberwolves and Nuggets are fighting for the top spot in the Western Conference, so it's unlikely Gobert will miss this one. But if he does sit out, Naz Reid would presumably cover the five spot, with Kyle Anderson and Nickeil Alexander-Walker getting more minutes than usual.

Washington Wizards guard Tyus Jones (back) will not play Friday against the Detroit Pistons. The 27-year-old has a back sprain and hasn't suited up since March 14. Jordan Poole and Corey Kispert have anchored the Wizards backcourt while Jones has been unavailable. Jared Butler and Johnny Davis may also see an uptick in minutes as two of the worst teams in the National Basketball Association meet for the final time this season.

Denver Nuggets guard Jamal Murray (knee) is questionable for Friday's game against the Minnesota Timberwolves. Murray has missed the last three games with right knee inflammation. Fantasy owners will have to sweat it out again with Murray's status up in the air, trending toward a game-time decision. Reggie Jackson is the biggest benefactor, as he's averaged 16.2 points, 5.4 assists, and 2.5 rebounds in 19 games without Murray this season. Collin Gillespie also gets more playing time as a reserve in the games Murray misses and has averaged 18.7 minutes over the last three games.

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.

Denver Nuggets center Nikola Jokic (back/hip) is listed as probable heading into Friday's game against the Minnesota Timberwolves. The two-time MVP is dealing with hip and back inflammation, but he has played the last two games after sitting out one. Jokic is favored to win another MVP this season, and the Nuggets are fighting for home-court advantage in the Western Conference to make his playing status more important. Stats come easy to Jokic to make his health a significant variable for fantasy teams if he plays his usual minutes. Jokic missing games sees Aaron Gordon, DeAndre Jordan, and Peyton Watson increase their value, but he should suit up Friday in an important game for postseason seeding.

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.

Los Angeles Lakers forward/center Anthony Davis (knee) is questionable for Friday's showdown with the Indiana Pacers. Despite being frequently mentioned on the league's official injury report, A.D. has only missed five games this season. He logged 52 minutes in Tuesday's double-overtime win over the Milwaukee Bucks, ending the night with a game-high 34 points and 23 rebounds with four blocks. However, Davis sat out the following night against Memphis because of a knee issue. With that said, he likely sat out for rest purposes, so fantasy managers could see him back in the lineup versus Indy. On the other hand, if Davis misses another contest, Jaxson Hayes and Rui Hachimura, combining for 48 points on Wednesday, will remain attractive DFS options.

Atlanta Hawks guard Dejounte Murray (back) will play against the Celtics. The lower back soreness is nothing new, so he wasn't expected to sit this one out, considering Atlanta is trying to remain in the Play-In conversation. The 27-year-old has been on a roll, averaging 25.8 points, 9.2 assists, and 2.3 steals in March, making him an ideal DFS option for all contests.
