New Orleans Pelicans forward/center
Karlo Matkovic (back) will not play in Friday's game against the Sacramento Kings, marking his second straight absence.
Derik Queen could continue to see expanded minutes after posting 12 points, seven assists, six rebounds, two steals, and one block in 28 minutes last game.
Yves Missi may also benefit after recording six points, seven rebounds, and one block in 20 minutes. Queen looks like the more appealing short-term fantasy option for his all-around production, while Missi offers deeper league rebounding and defensive stat appeal.

Denver Nuggets forward/center
Zeke Nnaji (hip) will remain in street clothes on Saturday against the San Antonio Spurs. He injured his left hip last weekend against Golden State and exited the lineup on Wednesday night versus Utah. His next chance to suit up will come on Monday against Portland. Nnaji plays only a limited role with the Nuggets, and his absence doesn't affect how the team operates.
Jonas Valanciunas will continue to be the primary frontcourt option off the bench.

Denver Nuggets guard/forward
Spencer Jones (hamstring) will miss a second straight game on Saturday against the San Antonio Spurs. He suffered a right hamstring strain last week and could be sidelined for the rest of the regular season, as muscle injuries usually take a minimum of 2-3 weeks to heal. The Nuggets have also lost
Peyton Watson (hamstring) from the rotation, so
Tim Hardaway Jr. (knee),
Bruce Brown, and
Julian Strawther could see more time on the floor during the final few regular-season games.

New Orleans Pelicans guard/forward
Trey Murphy III (ankle) is available for Friday's game against the Sacramento Kings after recently returning from a three-game absence. Murphy posted 19 points, eight rebounds, two assists, and one steal in 36 minutes last game and has averaged 19.0 points, 6.4 rebounds, 2.2 assists, and 1.4 steals across his last five appearances. He should remain locked into fantasy lineups without a minute limit. Murphy should continue to play a major scoring role alongside
Zion Williamson and
Saddiq Bey.

Denver Nuggets guard/forward
Tim Hardaway Jr. (knee) is probable for Saturday's clash against the San Antonio Spurs. The 13-year veteran couldn't finish Wednesday's matchup with Utah due to a sore left knee, but it looks like the issue won't keep Hardaway Jr. off the court this weekend. He practiced fully on Friday. Hardaway Jr. has produced good numbers off the bench this season and might have a slightly larger workload during the final week of the regular season, with
Peyton Watson (hamstring) on the shelf. Since the All-Star break, Hardaway Jr. has nailed 41.4 percent of his three-point attempts, averaging 12.6 points per game.

Miami Heat guard/forward
Norman Powell (illness) will not play in Saturday's game against the Washington Wizards, extending his absence to four straight contests.
Pelle Larsson should remain in the starting group after posting 18 points, six assists, three steals, three rebounds, and two three-pointers in 38 minutes last game. Larsson looks like a solid short-term streaming option while Powell remains out, especially for managers needing points, steals, and assists.
Tyler Herro should continue to carry more of the scoring load, while
Jaime Jaquez Jr. could also see steady minutes off the bench.

Miami Heat guard
Tyler Herro (foot) is probable for Saturday's game against the Washington Wizards and is expected to handle his usual workload. The 26-year-old has averaged 21.6 points, 3.4 three-pointers, 3.0 rebounds, and 4.6 assists over his last five games and finished with 18 points, seven assists, four three-pointers, and one block in 40 minutes last game. Herro should continue to see extra touches with
Norman Powell (illness) sidelined, keeping him locked into most fantasy lineups.

Detroit Pistons forward
Tobias Harris (knee) is questionable for Saturday's game against the Philadelphia 76ers after exiting early Thursday due to a knee bruise.
Kevin Huerter could see more run after posting 12 points, four rebounds, two assists and two three-pointers in 22 minutes, while
Javonte Green contributed eight points, six rebounds, one steal and two three-pointers in 27 minutes.
Ron Holland II also added eight points and a steal in 16 minutes. Huerter looks like a viable short-term streamer if Harris sits, with Green and Holland also candidates for larger roles.

April 3, 2026
Washington Wizards guard/forward
Tre Johnson (foot) is questionable for Saturday's game against the Miami Heat due to a right foot sprain.
Bub Carrington could take on more ballhandling duties after finishing with 13 points, seven assists, and three three-pointers in 31 minutes last game.
Jamir Watkins added seven points, five rebounds, and two assists in 19 minutes, while
Jaden Hardy chipped in seven points with a three-pointer and a steal across 25 minutes. Carrington looks like the safest streaming option if Johnson sits, while Watkins and Hardy could also see expanded roles.
--Brian DailisanSource: NBA Injury Report
April 3, 2026
Washington Wizards guard/forward
Bilal Coulibaly (heel) is questionable for Saturday's game against the Miami Heat as he continues to manage soreness.
Will Riley could again benefit after producing 18 points, three assists, and two three-pointers in 32 minutes last game, while
Justin Champagnie added 17 points, seven rebounds, one steal, and one block in 21 minutes off the bench. Riley looks like a solid short-term streaming option if Coulibaly is ruled out, while Champagnie and
Jaden Hardy could also see increased opportunities in the rotation.
--Brian DailisanSource: NBA Injury Report
April 3, 2026
Washington Wizards center
Alexandre Sarr (toe) is questionable for Saturday's game against the Miami Heat as he attempts to return from a three-game absence. If he remains out,
Anthony Gill could again see significant minutes after delivering 21 points, six rebounds, six assists, and three three-pointers in 35 minutes off the bench last game.
Julian Reese may also factor into the rotation after posting eight points and 13 rebounds in his last appearance. Gill shapes up as a deep-league streamer if Sarr sits, while
Tristan Vukcevic's (knee) status could further impact the center rotation.
--Brian DailisanSource: NBA Injury Report
April 3, 2026
Dallas Mavericks forward
Caleb Martin (foot) will not play in Friday's game against the Orlando Magic due to a right plantar fascia strain, extending his absence to nine games. His continued absence should allow
Max Christie,
Khris Middleton, and
Klay Thompson to absorb extra wing minutes. Middleton remains the most interesting fantasy option after finishing with eight points, five rebounds, and two assists in 22 minutes last game. Christie posted three points and three rebounds in 26 minutes, limiting his appeal. Middleton looks like the safest deep-league streamer, while Thompson remains a situational three-point option.

April 3, 2026
Toronto Raptors forward
Brandon Ingram (heel) is back on the court ahead of Friday's game against the Memphis Grizzlies. Ingram is back in the starting five after sitting out Wednesday's game due to left heel inflammation. As expected, Ingram will return from his one-game absence and figures to play his regular role in the rotation. The normally elite Ingram has hit a cold streak recently with 15.6 points on 44 percent shooting over the last five games. Despite his lackluster play, Ingram is a must-start in season-long formats, but might not be the best DFS choice right now.

April 3, 2026
Brooklyn Nets forward
Danny Wolf (ankle) has been ruled out for the rest of the regular season, according to head coach Jordi Fernandez. Wolf hasn't played since suffering an ankle injury during a game on March 22. The Nets are sitting at 18 wins coming into Friday's game, so there's little reason to play anyone at less than 100 percent health. Wolf will finish his rookie campaign averaging 8.9 points, 4.9 rebounds, and 2.2 assists across 57 games. The 21-year-old wasn't a must-have player, but he offered some deep league value throughout the season. He'll hopefully take on a larger role with the team next season.
Ziaire Williams should take on a larger role in the rotation over the final six games of the regular season.
--Andy WebbSource: Michael Scotto
April 3, 2026
Memphis Grizzlies forward/center
Olivier-Maxence Prosper (back) will not play in Friday's game against the Toronto Raptors due to lower-back soreness.
Taylor Hendricks could step into a larger role and is worth a look in deeper leagues after starting a recent game against Phoenix and finishing with five points, two rebounds, and one three-pointer in 18 minutes. Memphis remains thin in the frontcourt, which could also mean stable minutes for
GG Jackson II. Hendricks is a possible deep league pickup if you need forward help, while Prosper can be considered day to day.
