Minnesota Timberwolves forward/center
Naz Reid (ankle) is available for Sunday's game against the Boston Celtics after missing two games with a right ankle sprain. Reid should resume his usual role as a key reserve behind
Julius Randle and
Rudy Gobert, providing scoring and defensive stats off the bench. Over his last five games, Reid has averaged 12.0 points, 3.8 rebounds, 2.0 assists, and 1.4 blocks in 24.7 minutes while shooting 51.1 percent from the field and 90.0 percent from the line. His return likely pushes
Joan Beringer out of the rotation.

New York Knicks guard/forward
Josh Hart (knee) is available for Sunday's game against the Washington Wizards after missing one contest with a right knee issue. Hart should resume his usual starting role and minutes workload after averaging 15.6 points, 8.6 rebounds, 3.4 assists, and 1.8 three-pointers across his last five games. His ability to contribute across categories keeps him rostered in standard leagues. Hart's return likely pushes
Mohamed Diawara back into a smaller bench role, while
Jalen Brunson and
Karl-Anthony Towns continue leading New York's offensive usage.

March 22, 2026
Boston Celtics guard/forward
Jaylen Brown (quadriceps) will play Sunday against the Minnesota Timberwolves after being listed as probable because of a left quad contusion. The All-Star wing appears set to handle his usual workload after avoiding an absence. Brown has averaged 30.6 points, 5.8 rebounds, 5.4 assists, and 1.2 steals over his last five games while logging 36.8 minutes. He remains a must-start in all formats. His availability likely keeps
Baylor Scheierman in a limited bench role, while
Jayson Tatum and
Derrick White should continue leading Boston's offense.

Oklahoma City Thunder forward
Jalen Williams (hamstring) is expected to play Monday against the Philadelphia 76ers after missing time with a right hamstring strain. The 24-year-old could see his workload managed initially, but he should quickly reclaim a key role next to
Shai Gilgeous-Alexander. Williams is averaging 17.5 points, 4.7 rebounds, 5.4 assists, and 1.3 steals in 29.1 minutes across 26 games, giving him strong category-league value. His return likely cuts into the minutes of
Cason Wallace,
Aaron Wiggins, and
Isaiah Joe, lowering their short-term streaming appeal in standard formats.

March 22, 2026
Los Angeles Lakers guard
Luka Doncic will be available for Monday's game against Detroit after the league rescinded his 16th technical foul, removing the automatic one-game suspension. Doncic continues to deliver elite fantasy production, averaging 39.8 points, 5.4 three-pointers, 7.6 rebounds, 7.6 assists, and 2.6 steals across his last five games while logging 39.2 minutes. He remains a must-start in all formats and a clear first-round value.
Austin Reaves should continue seeing consistent touches as a secondary creator, while
LeBron James remains heavily involved offensively.

March 22, 2026
Denver Nuggets forward
Peyton Watson (hamstring) is questionable for Sunday's game against Portland after missing extended time with a right hamstring strain. Reports suggest he has a good chance to return, though he could face a minutes limit after the long layoff. Before the injury, Watson was averaging 14.9 points, 4.9 rebounds, 2.0 assists, 1.0 steals, and 1.2 blocks in 30.7 minutes. He is worth monitoring in standard leagues, but managers may want to see his workload first.
Spencer Jones and
Julian Strawther could see fewer minutes once Watson is back.

Golden State Warriors guard
Stephen Curry (knee) will miss the team's next two games as he continues recovering from right knee soreness, with another evaluation scheduled when the team returns home Tuesday. Curry has begun increasing his on-court workload and could be nearing a return if that checkup goes well. In the meantime,
Brandin Podziemski and
De'Anthony Melton should continue seeing expanded backcourt roles and streaming appeal. Both guards offer fantasy value for scoring and assists, while
Draymond Green may also handle more playmaking responsibilities during Curry's absence.

March 22, 2026
Brooklyn Nets forward/center
Noah Clowney (wrist) will miss Sunday's game in Sacramento after suffering a right wrist sprain earlier in the week. This will mark his second straight absence, leaving Brooklyn thin in the frontcourt.
Ziaire Williams is expected to continue starting after posting 17 points, two three-pointers, four rebounds, one assist, and one steal in 25 minutes against the Knicks. Williams shapes up as a deep-league streaming option while Clowney remains sidelined.
Danny Wolf and
Josh Minott could also continue seeing steady minutes as the Nets adjust their rotation.

March 22, 2026
Brooklyn Nets center
Nicolas Claxton (rest) will not play Sunday against Sacramento as the team manages his workload on the first night of a back-to-back. With
Day'Ron Sharpe (thumb) already ruled out for the season and
Noah Clowney (wrist) sidelined, Brooklyn could rely more on smaller lineups.
Danny Wolf recently posted eight points, two three-pointers, six rebounds, two assists, and one steal in 24 minutes as a starter, while
Josh Minott added 22 points, six three-pointers, five rebounds, two assists, one steal, and two blocks in 26 minutes in a recent game. Both are worth a look as deep-league streaming options.

March 22, 2026
Sacramento Kings guard
Russell Westbrook (foot) will not play Sunday against the Nets because of right foot soreness. The veteran guard's absence could open more backcourt minutes for
Killian Hayes and
Devin Carter. Hayes recently produced eight points, five rebounds, two assists, one steal, and one block in 21 minutes, while Carter scored 24 points with three three-pointers, five rebounds, three assists, and one steal in 16 minutes in his last appearance. Carter stands out as a deep-league scoring streamer.
Nique Clifford could also see increased usage after posting 15 points, three three-pointers, eight rebounds, and seven assists in a recent start.

March 22, 2026
Los Angeles Lakers guard
Luka Doncic is expected to miss Monday's game against Detroit after picking up his 16th technical foul Saturday, though the team has reportedly filed an appeal. The Slovenian superstar dominated in his last outing, recording 33 points, eight assists, five rebounds, and four steals. With 38.1 percent of the team's usage vacating the lineup,
Austin Reaves and
LeBron James become elite DFS plays.
Luke Kennard and
Jake LaRavia are viable short-term streamers in deep formats for three-point and defensive contributions. Expect a significant usage bump for Reaves, who currently averages 34.5 minutes per game.

March 22, 2026
Milwaukee Bucks forward
Kyle Kuzma (Achilles) will not return to Saturday's game against Phoenix after exiting because of right Achilles tightness. Kuzma provided an early scoring boost before the injury, finishing with 20 points, three three-pointers, and a block in 24 minutes. If he is forced to miss time, Milwaukee could lean more on
Ousmane Dieng, who recently logged 11 points, one three-pointer, two rebounds, two assists, and one steal in 33 minutes as a starter. Dieng shapes up as a deep-league streamer, especially with
Giannis Antetokounmpo (knee) still sidelined, while
Bobby Portis (ribs) could also take on a larger offensive role if cleared.
--Brian DailisanSource: Milwaukee Bucks
March 21, 2026
San Antonio Spurs forward/center
Victor Wembanyama (ankle) will play Saturday against Indiana after being listed as questionable with right ankle soreness. The All-Star big man continues to produce elite fantasy numbers when active. Over his last five games, he has averaged 28.8 points, 3.8 three-pointers, 11.2 rebounds, 3.4 assists, 1.4 steals, and 2.4 blocks in 31.7 minutes. He remains an automatic start in all formats because of his rare ability to contribute across every category. His presence keeps
Luke Kornet in a limited reserve role, while
De'Aaron Fox and
Stephon Castle should continue handling key scoring responsibilities.
--Brian DailisanSource: Paul Garcia
March 21, 2026
Los Angeles Clippers forward
Kawhi Leonard (ankle) is available for Saturday's game against Dallas after entering the day with a questionable tag. Leonard has missed two of the last three games, but when active he continues to deliver early-round fantasy value. Over his last five appearances, he has averaged 31.6 points, 3.2 three-pointers, 6.0 rebounds, 3.4 assists, and 1.8 steals in 31 minutes. He remains a must-start in all formats when healthy. His return likely cuts into
Jordan Miller's short-term streaming appeal, while
Darius Garland should continue handling significant playmaking duties.
--Brian DailisanSource: NBA Injury Report
March 21, 2026
Golden State Warriors forward/center
Draymond Green (back) is available for Saturday's game against Atlanta after being listed as questionable with lower-back soreness. The veteran remains a key facilitator and defensive anchor, even when scoring is limited. In his last outing, Green finished with zero points but contributed five rebounds and six assists in 22 minutes. His availability is important with
Kristaps Porzingis (back) and
Al Horford (calf) still sidelined, which should keep Green locked into meaningful minutes. He remains valuable in category leagues for his assists and defensive stats, while
Gui Santos and
Quinten Post (foot) could continue seeing frontcourt opportunities.
