New York Knicks forward
Josh Hart (knee) has been ruled out ahead of Friday's game against the Indiana Pacers. He was downgraded from questionable to doubtful, but now he'll officially take a seat. Hart is dealing with left knee soreness that hopefully won't keep him sidelined for long. The expectation is that
Landry Shamet will start while
Jordan Clarkson and
Mohamed Diawara see expanded roles as well. Among the three, Clarkson is the best streaming option after posting 27 points across 26 minutes of action on Wednesday.

Dallas Mavericks forward
Caleb Martin (finger) is available for Friday's game against Cleveland and could see a slight uptick in minutes with
P.J. Washington (ankle) sidelined, and
Daniel Gafford also out for rest. Martin has held a limited role this season, averaging 3.9 points, 2.5 rebounds, and 1.4 assists, but deeper leagues may find short-term value if his workload pushes closer to the 20-minute range. He finished with two points, three rebounds, one assist, and one block in 15 minutes Thursday.
Marvin Bagley III and
Khris Middleton remain the preferred streaming targets, leaving Martin as a deeper league flier.

New York Knicks forward
Jeremy Sochan (illness) is ruled out ahead of Friday's game against the Indiana Pacers. Sochan was a late addition to the injury report and will ultimately take a seat due to a lingering illness. Normally, his status isn't noteworthy, but he was likely in line for more minutes with
Josh Hart (knee) unavailable.
Mohamed Diawara figures to play an expanded role, which could lead to deep league value for Friday's slate. This illness shouldn't keep Sochan out for too long, as his next chance to play will come on Sunday against the Golden State Warriors.

Dallas Mavericks guard/forward
Naji Marshall (foot) will be available for Friday's game against Cleveland after playing through recent soreness. The 28-year-old has carved out a steady role this month, averaging 9.2 points, 3.2 assists, and 2.6 rebounds in 25.0 minutes across his last five appearances. With
P.J. Washington (ankle) sidelined and
Daniel Gafford resting, Marshall should see more frontcourt involvement and could take on a slightly larger offensive role alongside
Khris Middleton, who should help shoulder more of the scoring. Marshall, Middleton, and
Marvin Bagley III all profile as viable streaming options in deeper formats.

New York Knicks center
Karl-Anthony Towns (knee) has been ruled out ahead of Friday's game against the Indiana Pacers. He was initially listed as questionable on the injury report, but will ultimately sit out due to knee soreness. His next chance to play will come on Sunday against the Golden State Warriors. In his absence,
Mitchell Robinson is expected to move into the starting center spot. Robinson should be a strong streaming option while Towns is out.
Ariel Hukporti could also see more involvement, but Robinson is the best streaming choice here.

March 13, 2026
Dallas Mavericks forward/center
P.J. Washington (ankle) will miss Friday's game against Cleveland after being listed as doubtful following Thursday's win over Memphis, where he finished with 12 points, 10 rebounds, one assist, and one block in 28 minutes. His absence should push
Khris Middleton into a larger role after the veteran erupted for 35 points with eight three-pointers, two rebounds, one assist, and two steals in 25 minutes off the bench last game. Middleton profiles as a strong scoring and three-point streaming option, while
Marvin Bagley III and
Caleb Martin (finger) could also see modest workload bumps.

March 13, 2026
Dallas Mavericks center
Daniel Gafford (rest) will sit out Friday's matchup against Cleveland as part of a maintenance plan during a back-to-back. His absence should create a short-term streaming opportunity for
Marvin Bagley III, who posted six points, nine rebounds, and two blocks in 19 minutes off the bench in his last outing and could see a larger role.
Dwight Powell may also pick up situational minutes. With
P.J. Washington (ankle) still sidelined, Bagley profiles as a viable deep-league rebounds-and-blocks streamer.

According to Jake Fischer of Bleacher Report, guard
Bez Mbeng has agreed to a 10-day contract with the Utah Jazz. The undrafted rookie spent this season in the G League, averaging 6.5 points, 5.0 rebounds, 3.8 assists, and 1.8 steals in 27.5 minutes per game across 41 appearances. With
Keyonte George (hamstring) dealing with an injury, Mbeng could see reserve guard minutes, though his fantasy appeal is limited to very deep formats.
Isaiah Collier and
Brice Sensabaugh should continue handling most backcourt usage, leaving Mbeng as more of a watch-list name than an immediate pickup.

Los Angeles Lakers forward/center
Maxi Kleber (back) is expected to remain sidelined as he continues recovering from a lumbar issue, extending a recent stretch of missed games. Kleber has logged limited minutes when available this season, leaving little direct fantasy fallout from his absence.
Jarred Vanderbilt should continue handling the backup frontcourt role, while
Drew Timme could mix in for spot minutes when the Lakers go deeper into the rotation.
Deandre Ayton's role remains unchanged as the starting center. Given Kleber's minimal workload, he can remain on waiver wires in most formats, with Vanderbilt only holding deep-league streaming appeal for rebounds and defensive stats.

March 13, 2026
Utah Jazz guard/forward
John Konchar (calf) will sit out Friday's game against Portland, marking his second straight absence as he continues to deal with a left calf strain. His role has been modest, but the missed time helps solidify minutes for Utah's younger wings.
Brice Sensabaugh capitalized on the last game with 29 points, six three-pointers, five rebounds, and five assists in 30 minutes, while rookie
Ace Bailey added 21 points and five three-pointers in 36 minutes. Both should remain fantasy-relevant even when Konchar is active, given Utah's thin rotation, though his absence does open the door for slightly larger roles and more secure minutes.

March 13, 2026
Utah Jazz forward
Lauri Markkanen (hip) will remain sidelined for Friday's matchup against Portland as he continues working through a lingering issue with no clear return date. His continued absence keeps Utah's younger frontcourt firmly in play for fantasy managers. Rookie
Ace Bailey turned in 21 points with five three-pointers, four rebounds, two assists, and one steal in 36 minutes last game, while
Cody Williams logged 10 points and five assists in a team-high 38 minutes.
Kyle Filipowski added 15 points, seven rebounds, five assists, and one block. All three remain viable streamers while Markkanen stays out.

Milwaukee Bucks forward/center
Ousmane Dieng (illness) did not return to Thursday's loss to Miami after logging 14 minutes, finishing without a point while missing two shots as the team opted for caution. The absence appears temporary, but his recent stretch of 10.4 points, 2.0 three-pointers, 5.4 rebounds, and 4.0 assists across his previous five games had made him a viable deep-league streamer.
Ryan Rollins could remain the primary beneficiary after producing 16 points, two three-pointers, five rebounds, and 10 assists in 33 minutes.
Kyle Kuzma and
Bobby Portis may also see slight usage bumps if Dieng misses additional time.
--Brian DailisanSource: Eric Nehm
March 13, 2026
Orlando Magic forward
Jonathan Isaac (knee) is expected to miss time after suffering a knee sprain Thursday, though his absence carries minimal fantasy impact given his limited role and workload this season. Isaac logged in just one minute before exiting and has averaged modest minutes when active, leaving little statistical void. Deep reserves
Noah Penda and
Goga Bitadze could see slight bumps in emergency minutes, with Penda posting four points, three rebounds, two assists, and one steal in 14 minutes last game. Bitadze remains a fringe option.
Paolo Banchero and
Wendell Carter Jr. should continue handling most frontcourt usage.

March 13, 2026
Memphis Grizzlies guard
Scotty Pippen Jr. (toe) will miss the rest of the season after opting for surgery to address a lingering big toe issue that already sidelined him in recent games. The 25-year-old appeared in just 10 contests, averaging 11.4 points, 2.2 rebounds, 4.7 assists, and 1.9 steals in 21.2 minutes. His absence should open more opportunities for
Javon Small, who posted 19 points and nine assists in 28 minutes last game, though his fantasy appeal depends on the health of
Ty Jerome (calf),
Walter Clayton Jr. (ankle), and
Cam Spencer (back). Small profiles as a speculative add in deeper formats.

Utah Jazz point guard
Keyonte George (hamstring) will be re-evaluated in two weeks, ESPN's Tim Bontemps reports. The talented guard was injured in Wednesday's loss to the New York Knicks and has been diagnosed with a Grade 2 right hamstring strain. George looks set to miss at least seven games, but considering the Jazz's approach to the season, it wouldn't be surprising if he were shut down for the rest of the campaign.
Isaiah Collier will move into the starting point guard spot and is expected to make a big impact. Across his previous 16 starts this season, Collier has produced 15.3 points, 8.8 assists, and 1.5 steals per game.
