2 weeks agoSan Antonio Spurs forward
Keldon Johnson (foot) will not play in Friday's game against the Denver Nuggets. This will be the third straight game he has missed because of a sprained left foot. The 24-year-old has only played in one of the last six games for the Spurs as San Antonio sits at the bottom of the Western Conference standings. Johnson will only have one more chance to return to the court, which will be on Sunday versus the Detroit Pistons. In his absence,
Julian Champagnie,
Sidy Cissoko, and
Blake Wesley are players who could see bigger roles as the regular season winds down.

2 weeks agoBrooklyn Nets forward
Cameron Johnson (toe) is questionable for Friday's meeting with the New York Knicks. The 28-year-old hasn't had the best season, averaging 13.4 points and 4.3 rebounds, both down from the 2022-23 campaign. He's also missed a lot of time due to various ailments, which was a source of frustration for fantasy participants. At any rate, with
Dorian Finney-Smith (knee) out,
Noah Clowney, coming off a 10-point, seven-block outing in Wednesday's win over Toronto, should see plenty of work. But if Johnson gets ruled out,
Jalen Wilson and
Trendon Watford would emerge as viable value options for DFS managers.

2 weeks agoMemphis Grizzlies forward
Jaren Jackson Jr. (quadriceps) will not suit up for Friday's match-up with the Los Angeles Lakers due to a right quadriceps injury. He will miss his fifth consecutive game and will likely not play another minute this season, as the Grizzlies are out of playoff contention. Injuries are nothing new for Memphis this year, as they continue to rely on many inexperienced players. Their frontout remains thin as
Brandon Clarke (hand) is also out for Friday's contest. Fantasy managers can expect
Trey Jemison to handle a heavy workload once again, as he played 36 minutes last game.

2 weeks agoWashington Wizards forward
Kyle Kuzma (ankle) won't play on Friday versus the Bulls. He'll now miss a fourth consecutive contest, and with the Wizards down to two games left in the 2023-24 campaign, his season is likely over. With
Tyus Jones (back) out and
Jordan Poole (illness) questionable, Deni Advija and
Corey Kispert may be the go-to offensive options for the Wizards on Friday night. There would also be room for
Anthony Gill and
Patrick Baldwin Jr. to get more involved, with the duo combining for 30 points in Tuesday's loss to the Minnesota Timberwolves.

2 weeks agoGolden State Warriors guard/forward
Gary Payton II (calf) won't be in the lineup on Thursday against Portland. After being a late addition to the injury report, Payton II hasn't been able to get rid of tightness in his left calf to be available to play.
Draymond Green (knee) and
Klay Thompson (knee) are also on the shelf on Thursday, leaving Golden State a bit shorthanded. However, the team should still have enough quality to take care of business against a struggling Portland squad. There are more minutes available for
Chris Paul,
Jonathan Kuminga,
Brandin Podziemski, and
Moses Moody. Paul and Kuminga will join the starting five for the clash.

2 weeks agoMemphis Grizzlies forward
Brandon Clarke (hand) has been ruled out for Friday's contest against the Los Angeles Lakers. He missed the previous game due to left Achilles injury management, but the injury report shows Clarke is dealing with a hand injury now. The 27-year-old has spent a large majority of the season recovering from last year's Achilles tear and has only played in six games since returning to action on March 27. It is great for Grizzlies fans to see their talented big man back on the court looking healthy, as he has averaged over 11 points per game while playing over 20 minutes in all six games. While he is out, expect
Trey Jemison to lead the frontcourt.

2 weeks agoNew Orleans Pelicans guard/forward
Naji Marshall (shoulder) will be welcomed back into the lineup on Thursday versus Sacramento. He's recovered from a shoulder problem that kept him sidelined for a couple of games. Marshall is typically one of the first guys off the bench, and New Orleans is going to need his presence in a situation where
Brandon Ingram (knee) remains absent and
Larry Nance Jr. (personal) can't play. However, Marshall isn't a very attractive piece fantasy-wise. He's averaging 7.1 points, 3.7 rebounds, and 2.0 assists in 19.3 minutes for the season.
--Taavi Pailk - RotoBallerSource: New Orleans Pelicans
2 weeks agoToronto Raptors guard/forward
Bruce Brown (knee) is considered questionable for Friday's game against Miami. He's seen action just twice in the past five games and could be out again due to inflammation in his right knee.
Javon Freeman-Liberty,
Gradey Dick, and
Ochai Agbaji could potentially benefit from Brown's absence on Friday. However, it's an ugly fantasy matchup for the Raptors, as Miami boasts the fifth-best defensive rating in the league and is ranked 29th in pace.
--Taavi Pailk - RotoBallerSource: NBA Injury Report
2 weeks agoToronto Raptors guard/forward
Gary Trent Jr. (back) is listed as questionable on the injury report ahead of Friday's encounter with Miami. He also carried the designation on Wednesday due to back spasms prior to a meeting with Brooklyn, and Trent Jr. ended up missing the game. The Raptors have nothing left to play for, which could be affecting the team's lineup choices for the final few regular-season games. Youngsters
Gradey Dick and
Ochai Agbaji have gotten a lot of burn in recent times to aid their development, and they should be in big roles again on Friday if the team can't get any of its injured guys back.
--Taavi Pailk - RotoBallerSource: NBA Injury Report
2 weeks agoDenver Nuggets guard
Kentavious Caldwell-Pope (shoulder) is anticipated to play in Friday's game in San Antonio. KCP has played as well as expected during the 2023-24 campaign, averaging 10.1 points and shooting 40.7% from behind the arc. He also hasn't missed much time, so the shoulder injury shouldn't keep him off the floor versus the Spurs. Unfortunately, Caldwell-Pope scored only four points in each of his previous two games against San Antonio, so DFS managers should think twice before putting him in their lineups.
--Dennis Clausen - RotoBallerSource: NBA Injury Report
2 weeks agoMemphis Grizzlies forward
Santi Aldama (foot) will not play in Friday's contest versus the Los Angeles Lakers. He will miss his sixth straight game because of a right foot strain. Aldama last took the court on April 1 against the Detroit Pistons. The Grizzlies are not in playoff contention, so there is no need to rush Aldama back onto the court. Memphis will continue to finish the season with a depleted roster.
Brandon Clarke (hand) is also out for Friday's game, so expect
Trey Jemison to lead the frontcourt again after playing 36 minutes last game.
--Dave Goldsholl - RotoBallerSource: NBA Injury Report
2 weeks agoMiami Heat guard/forward
Duncan Robinson (back) has been ruled out for a third consecutive game as the team gets ready to battle the Raptors on Friday. Robinson recently aggravated a back issue, which kept him sidelined for five games near the end of last month. Luckily for the Heat,
Tyler Herro is back in the fold, and
Delon Wright and
Patty Mills have provided some good cover on the backcourt. Following Friday, Miami completes the regular-season slate on Sunday with a rematch against Toronto. It wouldn't be surprising to see the team save Robinson for next week's play-in tournament.
--Taavi Pailk - RotoBallerSource: NBA Injury Report
2 weeks agoDenver Nuggets forward
Aaron Gordon (foot) is probable ahead of Friday's showdown with the Spurs. The veteran has been bothered by a strained right foot for weeks. While the ailment cost him a few games, he was on the floor in Wednesday's much-needed win over the Minnesota Timberwolves. The Nuggets are looking to close out the 2023-24 campaign in decisive fashion heading toward the postseason, so Gordon and company all deserve consideration for any DFS contest on Friday night.
--Dennis Clausen - RotoBallerSource: NBA Injury Report
2 weeks agoMiami Heat point guard
Terry Rozier (neck) is considered questionable for Friday's game against Toronto. He could be sidelined for a third consecutive game as Rozier is struggling with neck spasms. Rozier's absence has given a pair of starts to
Caleb Martin, who's produced 10.7 points, 5.6 rebounds, and 2.6 assists on average in the first unit over the course of the season. It has also meant extra usage for
Tyler Herro, particularly with
Duncan Robinson (back) joining Rozier on the sidelines. Herro has been Miami's top scorer in back-to-back games, firing off a whopping 40 shots.
--Taavi Pailk - RotoBallerSource: NBA Injury Report
2 weeks agoDenver Nuggets forward
Michael Porter Jr. (quadriceps) is probable ahead of Friday's matchup with the Spurs. The 25-year-old has only missed one game this season, and with the Nuggets looking to finish atop the Western Conference, he should be on the floor versus San Antonio. Porter has averaged 17.7 points and 10.0 rebounds in three meets against the Spurs during the 2023-24 campaign, making him an ideal option for all DFS contests.
