New Orleans Pelicans guard
Dejounte Murray (hand) has been tagged as questionable ahead of Sunday's meeting with the Houston Rockets. Murray was unavailable on Friday against Toronto when the Pelicans wrapped up a back-to-back and might now miss another game. He has a left-hand contusion.
Trey Murphy III (ankle) is also questionable for Sunday night, so
Jeremiah Fears and
Yves Missi may remain part of the first unit. As a result of Murray's departure from the lineup, there was also a
Jordan Poole sighting in Friday's game. After a 12-point, six-assist effort, Poole might have earned an opportunity to be part of the rotation again on Sunday.

Portland Trail Blazers forward
Jerami Grant (calf) won't play on Sunday against the Washington Wizards. He injured his right calf in Friday's loss to Dallas and might be out for several games.
Sidy Cissoko could rejoin the starting lineup on Sunday, while
Matisse Thybulle and
Kris Murray are also candidates for increased roles. Still, even as a starter, Cissoko hasn't been productive enough to make a difference in fantasy leagues, averaging 7.3 points, 3.0 rebounds, and 1.4 assists in the first unit this season.

Indiana Pacers forward
Pascal Siakam (knee) is questionable for Sunday's tilt against the Miami Heat. After appearing in four consecutive games, Siakam might take Sunday off to manage his right knee injury. Center
Jay Huff is the only starter not listed as questionable for Sunday's game, meaning we could again see a lot of
Kobe Brown,
Jalen Slawson, and
Quenton Jackson. Slawson is a compelling player capable of influencing all parts of the game if given enough minutes.

Oklahoma City Thunder forward/center
Chet Holmgren will suit up on Sunday against the New York Knicks. The talented big man missed Friday's win over Chicago, but the Thunder haven't included Holmgren on the injury report ahead of Sunday's game. Filling in for Holmgren in the starting lineup,
Cason Wallace had a wonderful performance on Friday night, but he will likely be back in the second unit against the Knicks. Holmgren erupted for 28 points against the Knicks earlier this month when the teams met at Madison Square Garden.

March 29, 2026
Miami Heat guard/forward
Norman Powell (back) is considered questionable for Sunday's matchup with the Indiana Pacers. He's dealing with back spasms and could exit the lineup after a 15-point effort in Friday's loss to Cleveland. Health issues have limited Powell to just six appearances in March. If he has to miss time again,
Pelle Larsson is the prime candidate to fill in for Powell in the starting unit. While Larsson can also be impactful off the bench, his numbers clearly improve in the first unit. Across 35 starts this season, the 25-year-old has averaged 12.6 points, 3.8 rebounds, and 3.9 assists.

Boston Celtics guard/forward
Jaylen Brown (Achilles) is listed as questionable for Sunday's game against the Charlotte Hornets. He may be sidelined for a second consecutive contest due to left Achilles tendinitis. Brown was labeled day-to-day on Friday, but the team must be careful with his workload, as the Celtics will start a back-to-back on Sunday and are scheduled to play three times in four nights.
Jayson Tatum (Achilles) and
Derrick White (knee) are also questionable, so Boston's reserves could have a larger say in Sunday's contest.

Milwaukee Bucks point guard
Kevin Porter Jr. (knee) has likely played his last game of the 2025-26 season. According to The Athletic's Eric Nehm, Bucks head coach Doc Rivers said before Saturday's clash against San Antonio that he would be "surprised" if Porter Jr. plays again this season. Porter Jr. sat out a fifth consecutive game due to right knee synovitis. San Antonio handed the Bucks their 44th defeat of the season, eliminating them from playoff contention, so it wouldn't make sense for the team to rush Porter Jr. back.
Ryan Rollins has more fantasy value due to Porter Jr.'s absence, while
Gary Trent Jr. also benefits.

March 28, 2026
Washington Wizards center
Alexandre Sarr (toe) will not play Sunday against Portland as the second-year big man gets injury management on the first leg of a back-to-back. His absence could open short-term opportunities for
Tristan Vukcevic and
Anthony Gill in deeper formats. Gill logged 14 points, three assists, two steals, and one block in 25 minutes his last time out, while Vukcevic has flashed scoring upside in prior spot starts.
Julian Reese remains a risky option due to his two-way status.

March 28, 2026
Boston Celtics forward/center
Neemias Queta (thumb) is questionable for Sunday's game against Charlotte as he continues to deal with a right thumb sprain he has recently played through. If he is unable to go,
Luka Garza could step into a larger role after posting 11 points, four rebounds, and two assists in 15 minutes off the bench Friday, giving him some deep-league streaming appeal for rebounds and efficient scoring.
Payton Pritchard and
Sam Hauser could also see more consistent minutes and opportunities with the second unit.
--Brian DailisanSource: Bobby Krivitsky
March 28, 2026
Boston Celtics forward
Jayson Tatum (Achilles) is questionable for Sunday's game against Charlotte and could sit for maintenance on the first night of a back-to-back. If he rests,
Payton Pritchard would again profile as a strong DFS target after logging 35 minutes with 36 points, six three-pointers, seven rebounds, and four assists Friday, while
Sam Hauser and
Baylor Scheierman could see expanded scoring roles.
Jaylen Brown (Achilles) and
Derrick White also (knee) carry injury tags, which could further thin the rotation.
--Brian DailisanSource: Bobby Krivitsky
March 28, 2026
Boston Celtics guard
Derrick White (knee) is questionable for Sunday's game against Charlotte after managing a right knee contusion that has recently appeared on the injury report. If he is held out, Pritchard would likely take on more ballhandling duties after finishing with 36 points, six three-pointers, seven rebounds, and four assists in his last outing, reinforcing his value as a strong DFS and daily-lineup option.
Jayson Tatum (Achilles) and
Jaylen Brown (Achilles) could also see slight usage bumps if available.
--Brian DailisanSource: Bobby Krivitsky
March 28, 2026
Toronto Raptors guard
Immanuel Quickley (foot) will remain sidelined Sunday against Orlando due to plantar fasciitis, extending his recent absence and keeping the backcourt rotation thin.
Jamal Shead should continue to see streaming appeal after posting eight assists and two steals in 25 minutes Friday, while
Ja'Kobe Walter could also maintain a steady role.
Scottie Barnes and
RJ Barrett may absorb more playmaking duties. With the regular season nearly over, Quickley can be held if you have IL flexibility, but managers in tighter playoff matchups may need to look elsewhere. Shead profiles as a short-term assist streamer while Quickley remains out.
--Brian DailisanSource: Blake Murphy
March 28, 2026
Toronto Raptors guard/forward
Brandon Ingram (heel) is questionable for Sunday's game against Orlando as he continues to manage a lingering foot concern. If he sits,
Ja'Kobe Walter and
Jamal Shead could be worth a look as deep-league streamers after both saw increased roles recently. Walter logged 18 points, four three-pointers, four assists, and one rebound in 34 minutes Friday, while Shead produced eight assists and two steals in 25 minutes off the bench.
Scottie Barnes and
RJ Barrett would also be positioned for more offensive responsibility.
--Brian DailisanSource: Blake Murphy
March 28, 2026
Los Angeles Lakers guard
Luka Doncic (suspension) will miss Monday's game against Washington after drawing his 16th technical foul, triggering an automatic one-game ban. His absence should funnel more usage to
Austin Reaves, who posted 26 points, eight rebounds, five assists, and four three-pointers in 40 minutes during Friday's win, making him a strong DFS and category-league play.
Luke Kennard and
Jake LaRavia could see deeper-league streaming appeal if
Marcus Smart (ankle) sits.
LeBron James also gets a slight playmaking bump. Doncic remains a must-hold elite option and should return Tuesday.
--Brian DailisanSource: Shams Charania
March 28, 2026
Memphis Grizzlies guard
Walter Clayton Jr. (ankle) is available to play ahead of Saturday's game against the Chicago Bulls. Clayton will shed the questionable tag and suit up for the second leg of this back-to-back set. The rookie guard should continue playing a larger role in the rotation with
Ty Jerome (ankle) and
Cam Spencer (back) still sidelined. Over the last seven games, Clayton is averaging 9.1 points, 2.3 rebounds, and 4.0 assists across 23.9 minutes per game. Clayton is playing well enough right now to warrant a look in deep leagues right now.
