Minnesota Timberwolves forward
Jaden McDaniels (knee) will not play Saturday against Detroit, marking just his third absence of the season. His absence should open additional minutes for
Naz Reid and
Kyle Anderson. Reid is the more attractive fantasy target after producing 14 points, 13 rebounds, two steals, and two blocks in 31 minutes last game, offering strong category coverage. Anderson added five rebounds, three assists, and one steal in 30 minutes and remains a deeper-league utility option.
Julius Randle could also see a slight usage bump while McDaniels and
Anthony Edwards (knee) remain out.

Golden State Warriors guard
De'Anthony Melton (knee) has been ruled out for Friday's clash against the Washington Wizards. Following his impressive all-around performance in Wednesday's win over Brooklyn, Melton has a late addition to the injury report on Friday afternoon. After initially listing him as questionable, the Warriors have now ruled Melton out due to left knee injury management. His absence should give players like
Pat Spencer and
Will Richard more work in a fantastic fantasy matchup against the NBA's worst defensive team.

Minnesota Timberwolves guard
Anthony Edwards (knee) will not play Saturday against Detroit as he continues working toward a return that could come as soon as Monday. His absence keeps extra playmaking opportunities available for
Bones Hyland and
Mike Conley. Hyland finished with eight points and eight assists in 30 minutes off the bench last game and is on the radar for managers needing short-term help in assists. Conley put up six assists, five rebounds, and one steal in 29 minutes and remains more of a deep-league fallback for guard depth.
Julius Randle could also continue seeing elevated usage while Edwards remains sidelined.

Chicago Bulls guard
Rob Dillingham (knee) is available to play ahead of Friday's game against the Oklahoma City Thunder. Dillingham will shed the probable tag and suit up for Friday's contest. The expectation is that Dillingham will play his regular role off the bench. He finished with 12 points and two rebounds across 23 minutes of action on Wednesday. Over the last seven games, Dillingham is averaging 13.1 points, 3.4 assists, and 2.4 rebounds across 23.9 minutes per game. He offers some low-end streaming value, but his upside is limited with the Bulls relatively healthy at the guard spot right now.

Los Angeles Lakers point guard
Luka Doncic (hamstring) will play on Friday night against the Brooklyn Nets. Initially, it was unclear if he would suit up for the contest after the team listed him as questionable on the injury report. Doncic has been like a man from another planet in March, averaging 36.9 points, 8.2 rebounds, 7.4 assists, and 2.3 steals. He has recorded at least 30 points in 11 consecutive appearances.

March 27, 2026
Chicago Bulls guard/forward
Isaac Okoro (knee) is available to play ahead of Friday's game against the Oklahoma City Thunder. As expected, Okoro is cleared to play after being listed as probable on the injury report. He made his return to the court after a seven-game absence on Wednesday. Okoro finished with 13 points and two rebounds across 23 minutes of action in that one. The expectation is that he'll have a similar role on Friday. This season, Okoro is averaging 9.1 points, 2.7 rebounds, and 1.6 assists across 26.9 minutes per game. He could offer deep league streaming value, but Okoro can be ignored in most fantasy formats.

Miami Heat guard/forward
Jaime Jaquez Jr. (ankle) will be in action on Friday against the Cleveland Cavaliers. He has been upgraded from probable to available. Jaquez Jr. has been dealing with a right ankle sprain lately, making only a limited impact. He hasn't played more than 19 minutes in either of the last two games, averaging 11.0 points. On Friday, Jaquez Jr.'s productivity could increase, as Cleveland allows the ninth-most bench points in the NBA.

Chicago Bulls center
Guerschon Yabusele (ankle) is available to play ahead of Friday's game against the Oklahoma City Thunder. Yabusele missed Monday's game due to a left ankle sprain, but was able to play on Wednesday. He finished with 11 points and four rebounds across 22 minutes during Wednesday's contest. He figures to play a slightly larger role with fellow big man
Nick Richards (elbow) unavailable for Friday's game.
Patrick Williams should also benefit in terms of playing time, but Yabusele has more upside in terms of fantasy value.
--Andy WebbSource: NBA Injury Report
March 27, 2026
Cleveland Cavaliers center
Jarrett Allen (knee) will return to action on Friday against the Atlanta Hawks. He has been cleared to play after missing 10 games due to a knee issue. The veteran big man has been named a starter for Friday's contest, but Cavaliers head coach Kenny Atkinson plans to limit his playing time to 20 minutes.
Keon Ellis will drop to the bench, reducing his fantasy value.
Thomas Bryant's playing time is also likely to take a hit with Allen's return.
--Taavi PailkSource: NBA Injury Report
March 27, 2026
Chicago Bulls center
Nick Richards (elbow) has been ruled out ahead of Friday's game against the Oklahoma City Thunder. Richards is unavailable here after an elbow injury limited him to nine minutes during Wednesday's contest. Without Richards, the Bulls will need to lean on
Guerschon Yabusele and
Patrick Williams. Between the two, Yabusele is the better streaming choice for Friday's slate. He finished with 11 points and four rebounds across 22 minutes on Wednesday. The 30-year-old offers enough scoring upside to warrant looking at in deep leagues as a streaming choice on Friday.
--Andy WebbSource: NBA Injury Report
March 27, 2026
Atlanta Hawks center
Jock Landale (shoulder) has been ruled out ahead of Friday's game against the Boston Celtics. Landale was a late addition to the injury report and will ultimately suit up due to a shoulder issue. His next chance to play will come on Saturday against the Sacramento Kings. Fantasy managers should check back for another update on his status ahead of that game.
Mouhamed Gueye is expected to have an expanded role behind
Onyeka Okongwu on Friday. Gueye will likely see minutes in the teens, but it probably won't be enough to warrant streaming him in most fantasy formats.

March 27, 2026
Indiana Pacers forward
Aaron Nesmith (back) is available to play ahead of Friday's game against the Los Angeles Clippers. As expected, Nesmith will play through his lower back pain. It shouldn't be something that impacts his ability on the court. The 26-year-old has been producing solid numbers as of late. Over the last eight games, Nesmith is averaging 17.5 points, 2.4 rebounds, and 1.3 assists in 30.1 minutes per game. He's usually reliable enough to be trusted as a low-end streaming option. He has finished with 14 points or more in five of his last six games.
--Andy WebbSource: NBA Injury Report
March 27, 2026
Indiana Pacers forward
Obi Toppin (back) has been upgraded to available ahead of Friday's game against the Los Angeles Clippers. Toppin will shed the questionable tag and suit up despite dealing with back pain. This minor injury shouldn't impact his ability to play his regular role in the rotation. This season, Toppin is averaging 9.4 points, 4.0 rebounds, and 2.1 assists in 17.0 minutes per game. The 27-year-old is a solid contributor, but his overall upside is limited, with him only playing minutes in the teens. Toppin remains a deep league fantasy option, but doesn't offer a ton of upside outside of that.

March 27, 2026
Los Angeles Clippers guard
Jordan Miller (back) is available to play ahead of Friday's game against the Indiana Pacers. Miller is back in the mix after missing Wednesday's game due to back spasms. The second-year guard should resume his regular role on Friday. Over the last seven games, Miller is averaging 12.3 points, 4.1 rebounds, and 2.9 assists in 25.6 minutes per game. The 26-year-old offers enough upside to warrant looking at as a deep league streaming option for Friday's slate.
--Andy WebbSource: NBA Injury Report
March 27, 2026
Oklahoma City Thunder forward/center
Chet Holmgren (hip) has been ruled out ahead of Friday's game against the Chicago Bulls. He wasn't listed on the initial injury report, but will now take a seat due to a bruised left hip. His absence from the rotation should mean larger roles for
Alex Caruso,
Aaron Wiggins, and
Cason Wallace. Among the trio, Wallace is the most consistent contributor right now and should have solid streaming value on Friday.
Jaylin Williams could also see an expanded role, but his inconsistent playing time makes him a shaky fantasy option.
