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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

Washington Wizards guard
Malcolm Brogdon (ankle) will be out of action against the Chicago Bulls on Thursday. Brogdon will miss his 27th consecutive contest due to a sprained left ankle. The 32-year-old injury occurred right before the All-Star break, and he has not seen any action since play resumed. He's only played in 24 games this season, averaging 12.7 points, 3.8 rebounds, and 4.1 assists in 23.5 minutes per game. His last chance to return to the floor is Sunday against the Heat.

Washington Wizards guard
Jordan Poole (elbow) is unavailable for Friday's matchup with the Chicago Bulls. Friday will mark the second game in a row the 25-year-old has missed due to a right elbow contusion. His last chance to suit up before the regular season concludes is Sunday against the Miami Heat.
AJ Johnson will likely take on a heavier workload while Poole is on the shelf. Johnson was in the starting lineup on Wednesday against the Sixers and registered seven points, four rebounds and three assists across 36 minutes.

Tony East of WTHR Channel 13 Indianapolis reports that Indiana Pacers guard/forward
Ben Sheppard (toe) has been ruled out for Thursday's matchup with the Cleveland Cavaliers. Due to a sprained left toe, Sheppard has been downgraded from questionable to unavailable. Thursday's game will be the third he's missed in a row because of the injury. The 23-year-old not playing won't impact fantasy much this evening, as he's averaged just 5.3 points during 19.5 minutes per contest across 63 games during the 2024-25 campaign.

April 10, 2025
Memphis Grizzlies guard
Zyon Pullin (knee) won't play against the Minnesota Timberwolves on Thursday. Pullin has been recovering from right patellar tendon surgery. He was last seen in action on February 20 playing for the G League's Memphis Hustle. It's unclear if Pullin has any chance of playing again this season, but it seems that he might be sidelined for the Memphis Grizzlies' final two regular-season games.

Brooklyn Nets center
Day'Ron Sharpe (knee) remains out for Thursday's matchup with the Atlanta Hawks. The big man has been unavailable for the past seven games due to a right knee sprain. With just three games remaining, Sharpe may join
Cam Thomas,
De'Anthony Melton, and
Noah Clowney as players ruled out for the rest of the season due to injuries. This season, Sharpe has averaged 7.9 points, 6.6 rebounds, and 1.8 assists per game.
