Miami Heat guard
Norman Powell (groin) is tagged as questionable ahead of Saturday's game against the Orlando Magic. Powell is hopeful to return to the court after missing seven games in a row due to a groin strain. If he's cleared, Powell will likely be on a minutes limit considering he hasn't played since late February. His return to the court would mean fewer minutes for
Kasparas Jakucionis,
Dru Smith (hip) and
Simone Fontecchio. Fantasy managers should check back on Saturday ahead of tip-off for a final update on Powell.

San Antonio Spurs forward/center
Victor Wembanyama (ankle) is listed as questionable for Saturday's matchup against Charlotte after missing Thursday's loss to Denver due to right ankle soreness. If he remains out,
Luke Kornet could draw another start after posting three rebounds, two steals, and two blocks in 25 minutes, offering some deep-league appeal for defensive stats.
Mason Plumlee may also see limited backup minutes. Wembanyama's absence would also keep more offensive responsibility on
De'Aaron Fox and
Stephon Castle, while Kornet could be a blocks streamer if he draws another start.

Miami Heat forward
Andrew Wiggins (toe) has been ruled out ahead of Saturday's game against the Orlando Magic. This marks the fifth game in a row that Wiggins has missed due to a left toe injury. The fact that Wiggins is being ruled out a full day in advance likely means he isn't close to returning. Fantasy managers should consider Wiggins as doubtful ahead of Tuesday's game against the Charlotte Hornets. Myron Garder,
Kel'el Ware, and
Simone Fontecchio should all continue to see increased workloads on Saturday. Ware is the best streaming option out of the bunch, with the other two offering deep league appeal.

Houston Rockets center
Alperen Sengun (back) will miss Friday's matchup against New Orleans after being added to the injury report with lower back soreness. His next opportunity to return comes Monday against the Lakers.
Clint Capela is expected to step into a larger role after posting nine points, seven rebounds, one steal and one block in 24 minutes last game. Capela profiles as a rebounds and blocks streamer, while
Amen Thompson and
Kevin Durant could absorb more offensive usage.
Reed Sheppard could also benefit, though his production has dipped slightly after a strong recent stretch.

Detroit Pistons forward
Tobias Harris (hip) has been ruled out ahead of Friday's game against the Memphis Grizzlies. The Pistons have decided to hold out Harris for the second leg of this back-to-back set. His next chance to play will come against the Toronto Raptors on Sunday. The Pistons are likely going to use a committee approach to fill the void while Harris is sidelined. That means
Isaiah Stewart,
Ron Holland II, and
Javonte Green are all candidates to see more run. Among the three players, Stewart is the best streaming choice ahead of Friday's slate.

Detroit Pistons guard/forward
Ausar Thompson (ankle) will miss Friday's game against Memphis, extending his absence to five straight contests due to a right ankle sprain. His next opportunity to return comes Sunday against Toronto. With Thompson and
Tobias Harris (hip) both sidelined, Detroit could lean more on Ronald Holland II,
Marcus Sasser, and
Kevin Huerter for extra minutes. Holland produced 15 points, three rebounds, and one steal in 25 minutes last game, while Huerter added 12 points, two three-pointers, four rebounds, four assists, and two steals. All three are deep-league streamers, though their roles remain shaky

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.

March 13, 2026
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.

March 13, 2026
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.

March 13, 2026
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.

March 13, 2026
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.
--Brian DailisanSource: Ron Harrod Jr.
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.
--Brian DailisanSource: Ron Harrod Jr.
March 13, 2026
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.

March 13, 2026
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.
