Philadelphia 76ers forward
Guerschon Yabusele (knee) is experiencing some soreness in his right knee and has been ruled out of Friday's contest against the Atlanta Hawks. The big man from France already missed the last two games, and it wouldn't be surprising if the team decided to hold him out of their last game on Sunday as well.
Adem Bona should get the starting nod at center again, while
Colin Castleton should remain the backup big, even if
Alex Reese (Achilles) does play. Bona has played well to end the season, to the tune of 14.8 points, 8.8 rebounds, 1.0 assists, 2.2 blocks, and 1.2 steals per game through five games in April.

Philadelphia 76ers forward
Justin Edwards (ribs) has drawn another questionable tag on Friday for their contest against the Atlanta Hawks. The rookie has missed the last two games due to a rib contusion and could possibly miss a third. While he's been sidelined,
Lonnie Walker IV joined the starting five alongside
Quentin Grimes (shoulder) and
Jared Butler. With Grimes also questionable, Walker and Butler could see a big bump in usage. In terms of scoring, Walker has been a bit better, as shown by his 24 points (7-17 FG) in their last game, but Butler has a bit more all-around potential. He averages 10.7 points, 4.8 assists, 2.5 rebounds, and 1.0 steals per game in 26 games with the Sixers.

Philadelphia 76ers guard
Quentin Grimes (shoulder) received a questionable status ahead of Friday's tip-off with the Atlanta Hawks due to a shoulder sprain. Grimes has been a fantasy basketball hero in the playoffs, but the Sixers are actively trying to make sure they retain their first-round pick by finishing in the bottom six. That means they'll likely take the cautious route with Grimes, which makes
Jeff Dowtin Jr.,
Jared Butler, and
Lonnie Walker IV solid streaming options. Dowtin dropped 30 points, three assists, and four steals in their last game while Butler registered 13 points, six rebounds, and four assists. Walker even had 24 points, one assist, and one steal.

Atlanta Hawks guard
Trae Young (Achilles) is back on the injury report for his Achilles tendinitis, but he's considered probable to play on Friday against the Philadelphia 76ers. The Hawks are locked into a play-in spot, but still could fall out of the eighth seed as they sit just one game ahead of the Chicago Bulls. Luckily, having Young against the battered and bruised Sixers should mean at least one win in these last two games. This should also make him a popular DFS option, but if he doesn't suit up for some reason,
Terance Mann would likely move into the starting lineup while
Caris LeVert would also get a bump in minutes.

Los Angeles Clippers guard
Norman Powell (shoulder) is listed as questionable ahead of Friday's game against the Sacramento Kings. Powell sat out on Wednesday and is in danger of missing his second straight game due to a shoulder injury. His absence would likely mean that
Derrick Jones Jr. would remain in the starting five. He finished with 18 points in 26 minutes during his last game. Also,
Bogdan Bogdanovic and
Kris Dunn would see larger roles if Powell is unable to go on Friday. Between the two, Bogdanovic is the better streaming choice for Friday's slate.

Los Angeles Clippers center
Ivica Zubac (ankle) is currently listed as questionable ahead of Friday's game against the Sacramento Kings. Zubac notched his first career triple-double during Wednesday's contest. However, Zubac appears to have picked up an ankle injury in the process, so his status for Friday is uncertain. If Zubac sits,
Ben Simmons and
Drew Eubanks would likely be asked to pick up the slack. Neither have offered much value at all this season. Simmons is a solid defender, so possibly he could have some low-end value, but fantasy managers shouldn't consider him a viable option.

Utah Jazz guard
Isaiah Collier (hamstring) is listed as questionable ahead of Friday's game against the Oklahoma City Thunder. Collier missed Wednesday's game due to a hamstring injury and he appears to be in danger of missing a second game because of it. His absence allowed for
Keyonte George to move into the starting five. He finished with 18 points, six rebounds, and six assists in 34 minutes of action. George has been playing a bigger role lately with 31 minutes or more in five of his last six games. He'd certainly have increased fantasy value if Collier remains out for another game.

Oklahoma City Thunder center
Isaiah Hartenstein (Achilles) has been ruled out ahead of Friday's game against the Utah Jazz. The big man will miss his second game in a row due to an Achilles injury. The Thunder are resting most of their starters with them already locking up the top seed in the West. It remains to be seen if Hartenstein will suit up for Sunday's game versus the New Orleans Pelicans. For now,
Jaylin Williams figures to see an increased role in the rotation with Hartenstein ruled out. Williams offers interesting streaming appeal with Hartenstein unavailable.

April 10, 2025
Oklahoma City Thunder guard
Alex Caruso (ankle) has been ruled out ahead of Friday's game against the Utah Jazz. Caruso played well on Wednesday, but appears to have picked up a minor ankle injury in the process. The Thunder have already locked up the top seed in the West, so they aren't going to play anyone at less than 100 percent healthy. Caruso will join a handful of other players on the bench as the Thunder are resting most of their starters. That means,
Aaron Wiggins and
Isaiah Joe are likely to see significant run on Friday.

Oklahoma City Thunder guard
Shai Gilgeous-Alexander (shin) has been ruled out ahead of Friday's game against the Utah Jazz. This marks the second game in a row that Gilgeous-Alexander has missed due to a shin contusion. The Thunder have already locked up the top seed in the West, so they don't have any incentive to play their top players at this point in the season. That being said,
Aaron Wiggins,
Isaiah Joe, and
Ajay Mitchell figure to see plenty of run during Friday's game. None of them are offering much streaming appeal, but Wiggins is probably the best out of the three.

Washington Wizards forward/center
Anthony Gill (hamstring) is unavailable for Friday's matchup with the Chicago Bulls due to a strained right hamstring he suffered during Tuesday's game against the Pacers.
The 32-year-old had become a regular in the rotation, playing at least 22 minutes in three of his last four contests. Gill's final chance to return to the floor is Sunday against the Heat.
Tristan Vukcevic will likely see a heavier workload on Friday while Gill is sidelined.
--Andrew Lennox - RotoBallerSource: NBA Injury Report
April 10, 2025
Washington Wizards forward
Khris Middleton (ankle) is unavailable for Friday's game against the Chicago Bulls. Middleton will miss his eighth consecutive contest due to a right knee contusion. He last played on March 27 versus the Pacers and finished with eight points, one rebound and two assists across 14 minutes on the floor. His last chance to suit up during the 2024-25 campaign is Sunday versus the Heat.
Justin Champagnie has benefited the most from Middleton's lengthy absence, as he most recently racked up a double-double Wednesday against Philadelphia.

April 10, 2025
Washington Wizards center/forward
Richaun Holmes (shoulder) is doubtful for Friday's matchup with the Chicago Bulls. The 31-year-old will likely be out of action for the fifth straight game due to a right shoulder contusion. If he isn't good to go, his last chance to suit up is Sunday against the Miami Heat. 22-year-old.
Tristan Vukcevic will likely take on extra minutes at center if Holmes is out. Vukcevic finished with 24 points and six rebounds in 24 minutes during Wednesday's 122-103 loss to Philadelphia.

April 10, 2025
Milwaukee Bucks forward
Giannis Antetokounmpo (illness) will suit up for Thursday's matchup with the Pelicans. The multi-time All-Star has appeared on the injury due to numerous injuries throughout the year. But, this time, he's listed because of an illness. With that said, the Pelicans are shorthanded, so Antetokounmpo may ride the bench more than usual if the score gets out of hand. If that's the case,
Bobby Portis, who recently returned from a lengthy suspension, could be spending even more time on the floor.

Cleveland Cavaliers center
Jarrett Allen is available for Thursday's meeting with the Pacers. With
Darius Garland (toe),
Donovan Mitchell (ankle),
Evan Mobley (rest), and
Max Strus (knee) getting the night off, Allen is the only starter who will get on the floor. However, according to head coach Kenny Atkinson, the former Net will play in a "limited capacity," meaning he will see fewer minutes than usual. As a result,
Tristan Thompson and
Chuma Okeke should be more productive, although
Ty Jerome and
De'Andre Hunter remain the safest fantasy options for the Cavs on Thursday night.
