Memphis Grizzlies forward Ziaire Williams (hip/back) is the second player on the team to be deemed unlikely to be back for the rest of this season. Teammate Derrick Rose (groin) is the other one who is likely to watch from the sidelines for the last couple of weeks as the Grizzlies shut down anyone who's not one hundred percent healthy. The third-year forward has already missed 22 games so far this year, so it's more beneficial to the team to let him rest until next season when they have a healthier roster. In the meantime, Lamar Stevens, Jake LaRavia, and Scottie Pippen Jr. will be better streaming options to finish out the season.

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.

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 Caleb Martin (ankle) is probable to play against the Portland Trail Blazers on Friday night. The 28-year-old hasn't been forced to miss a game since early January, so his continued health has been a breath of fresh air for this team that has endured tons of injuries and missed games from their main rotation. Martin will likely receive north of 25 minutes in this contest since Tyler Herro (foot), Josh Richardson (shoulder), and Duncan Robinson (facet) all remain sidelined. Martin could garner some DFS attention in a game that's likely to be a blowout too.

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.

Miami Heat guard Tyler Herro (foot) will miss his 17th consecutive game on Friday while dealing with medial tendinitis in his right foot. He's officially been ruled out of the matchup with the Portland Trail Blazers as the team is likely being cautious so that they might be able to have him on the court for the play-in and playoffs. Herro has been through two different spells of injuries this season where he's missed over 10 games, and he's only appeared in 36 out of a possible 72 so far. Since Jimmy Butler (illness) is expected to play, Jaime Jaquez Jr. will likely remain in the starting lineup while Nikola Jovic and Patty Mills see some extra minutes in Herro's absence.

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).

Cleveland Cavaliers forward Dean Wade (knee) has already been ruled out for Friday's matchup against the Philadelphia 76ers due to the right knee sprain that he's been dealing with for a few weeks. This will be his 11th consecutive missed game as he's missed most of the month of March. Wade hasn't been the best fantasy contributor this year, but has had some moments as a solid streaming option when the team was dealing with a lot of injuries. Evan Mobley returned to the starting lineup though, so Caris LeVert and Georges Niang will see added minutes in Wade's absence.

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.

Portland Trail Blazers guard Anfernee Simons (knee) will not play in Friday's game against the Miami Heat. This will be the fourth consecutive game he will sit out because of left knee tendinitis. Portland could be very short-handed on Friday, as they have injuries to both their backcourt and frontcourt. His absence has led to increased opportunities for Rayan Rupert and Ashton Hagans. The most significant beneficiary of Simons being sidelined is Dalano Banton, who scored more than 28 points in consecutive games. Fantasy owners will have to monitor Simons' injury status moving forward. The next chance for him to suit up will be Monday when the Trail Blazers play against the Orlando Magic.

San Antonio Spurs forward Keldon Johnson (knee) is questionable for Friday's game against the New York Knicks. Johnson missed the team's previous game versus the Utah Jazz due to right knee soreness. The Spurs benefited from Johnson playing well over the past month and taking advantage of extra minutes to increase his numbers. Malaki Branham and Cedi Osman should see their minutes increase if Johnson is forced to miss another game or multiple games moving forward. San Antonio's best players, Victor Wembanyama, Devin Vassell, and Jeremy Sochan, would have higher ceilings if Johnson isn't in the lineup.

Portland Trail Blazers guard Matisse Thybulle (ankle) is questionable for Friday's game against the Miami Heat due to a right ankle impingement. The 27-year-old missed the previous five games, as Portland is currently dealing with numerous injuries. If Thybulle can take the court on Friday, he could have a significant role since Jerami Grant (hamstring) is considered doubtful, and Toumani Camara (ribs) is out. If Thybulle is unable to play, Dalano Banton and Rayan Rupert will likely be given plenty of minutes.

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.

Golden State Warriors forward Jonathan Kuminga (knee) is listed as questionable for Friday's game against the Charlotte Hornets. Due to knee soreness, Kuminga didn't suit up in Wednesday's win over the Magic. The 21-year-old has averaged 19.4 points, 4.6 rebounds and 2.3 assists per game during 13 starts in March. Klay Thompson will likely come off the bench if he isn't available. Moses Moody and Trayce Jackson-Davis may also be tapped for starting positions.

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.
