Detroit Pistons guard/forward
Ausar Thompson (ankle) is questionable for Saturday's game against Minnesota after recently managing a sprain that already cost him multiple games this month. If he sits,
Kevin Huerter and
Ron Holland II could see expanded roles. Huerter is the more appealing fantasy option after posting 22 points, four three-pointers, and one steal in 34 minutes in his last start. Holland contributed seven rebounds and four assists in 19 minutes and is more of a deep-league option.
Javonte Green could also see situational minutes if Detroit remains shorthanded.

Washington Wizards guard/forward
Bilal Coulibaly (heel) will play on Friday against the Golden State Warriors. He has received the clearance to play after the team listed Coulibaly as questionable on the initial injury report. Coulibaly has been hot from downtown this month, averaging 15.3 points, 4.4 rebounds, 2.9 assists, and 1.4 steals with 40.4 percent three-point efficiency. Last week, he finished a 125-117 loss to the Warriors with 21 points, eight rebounds, four assists, and one steal, hitting both of his attempts from outside.

Detroit Pistons forward
Tobias Harris (hip) is questionable for Saturday's game against Minnesota after continuing to manage lingering soreness. If the veteran forward sits,
Ron Holland II and
Javonte Green could see expanded roles. Holland posted two points, seven rebounds, and four assists in 19 minutes last game and offers some deep-league rebounding appeal. Green chipped in eight points, two three-pointers, and one steal in 20 minutes but remains a fringe, risky option for managers chasing threes. Harris is worth holding if active.

Golden State Warriors point guard
Stephen Curry (knee) will miss at least two more games, ESPN's Anthony Slater and Shams Charania report. He isn't ready to make his comeback on Friday night against Washington and will also miss Sunday's matchup with the Denver Nuggets. Curry will be re-evaluated next week. Until the former MVP returns to the lineup,
Brandin Podziemski and
Gui Santos will lead the Warriors' offense. His absence has also led to increased playing time for
Pat Spencer,
Gary Payton II, and
Will Richard.

Brooklyn Nets forward/center
Noah Clowney (wrist) will be active on Friday against the Los Angeles Lakers. A wrist issue has kept Clowney sidelined for four games, but the team has upgraded his status from probable to available.
Ziaire Williams has had a good stint as a starter during Clowney's absence, but he may find himself back in the second unit on Friday night, which would be a big blow for his fantasy prospects. Clowney's form has faded late in the season, with his average numbers dropping to 10.2 points and 4.0 rebounds this month.

Detroit Pistons center
Jalen Duren (knee) is questionable for Saturday's game against Minnesota after playing through injury tags in recent outings. If he sits,
Paul Reed could move into the starting lineup with
Isaiah Stewart (calf) still out. Reed had eight points, three rebounds, and one steal in 14 minutes Thursday and would be a deep league streamer if Duren sits.
Tobias Harris (hip) and
Ausar Thompson (ankle) could also benefit if cleared, with both currently carrying injury tags.

Utah Jazz forward/center
Kyle Filipowski (illness) is ready to face
Nikola Jokic and the Denver Nuggets on Friday night. He wasn't available on Wednesday against Washington due to illness and was initially listed as probable for Friday's tilt. Filipowski has enjoyed a much larger role late in the season, but his recent performances have been inconsistent. He will face a tough challenge against Jokic on both ends of the floor. Filipowski has averaged 12.0 points, 5.0 rebounds, and 3.5 assists in matchups with the Nuggets this season.

Los Angeles Lakers forward
Rui Hachimura (calf) will rejoin the action Friday against the Brooklyn Nets. The Lakers will have the Japanese forward back in the lineup after he missed two games due to right calf injury management. Hachimura's productivity and playing time have noticeably declined since the All-Star break, as he's averaged 8.2 points and 2.3 rebounds in 24.7 minutes per game.
Jake LaRavia has seen more time on the floor in the last couple of games and will likely have a lighter workload with Hachimura back in the fold.

Philadelphia 76ers guard
Tyrese Maxey (finger) is questionable for Saturday's game against Charlotte after progressing faster than initially expected from a March injury. If cleared, he would likely reclaim a starting role, which would push
Quentin Grimes back to the bench and cut into
Cameron Payne's minutes. Grimes posted 13 points, six rebounds, five assists, three steals, and three blocks in 31 minutes last game and remains a short-term hold if Maxey sits. Maxey carries some risk of a minutes cap if active, but he should be started in most formats if cleared.

March 27, 2026
Memphis Grizzlies guard
Jahmai Mashack (ankle, nose) has been ruled out for Friday's matchup with the Houston Rockets. The 23-year-old is currently banged up, dealing with an ankle sprain and a fractured nose. He will miss a sixth consecutive game after the team initially listed Mashack as doubtful.
Ty Jerome (ankle) also won't play on Friday, so
Javon Small,
Walter Clayton Jr., and
Cam Spencer should see more action in the Grizzlies' backcourt.

March 27, 2026
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.

March 27, 2026
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.
--Taavi PailkSource: NBA Injury Report
March 27, 2026
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.
--Brian DailisanSource: NBA Injury Report
March 27, 2026
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.
--Andy WebbSource: NBA Injury Report
March 27, 2026
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.
