Oklahoma City Thunder forward/center
Chet Holmgren (hip) has been ruled out ahead of Friday's game against the Chicago Bulls. He wasn't listed on the initial injury report, but will now take a seat due to a bruised left hip. His absence from the rotation should mean larger roles for
Alex Caruso,
Aaron Wiggins, and
Cason Wallace. Among the trio, Wallace is the most consistent contributor right now and should have solid streaming value on Friday.
Jaylin Williams could also see an expanded role, but his inconsistent playing time makes him a shaky fantasy option.

Chicago Bulls guard
Anfernee Simons (wrist) has been downgraded to out ahead of Friday's game against the Oklahoma City Thunder. Unsurprisingly, Simons will remain sidelined while he continues to recover from a fractured left wrist. He hasn't taken the court since February 21, and honestly might not play again this season. His absence should mean more playing time for
Tre Jones and
Collin Sexton. Both guards have been playing well and are deserving of a look as streaming options while Simons is sidelined.

Boston Celtics center
Neemias Queta (thumb) is available to play ahead of Friday's game against the Atlanta Hawks. Queta was listed as questionable coming into this game due to a right thumb sprain. Fantasy managers shouldn't be worried about the injury impacting his ability on the court. Over the last six games, Queta is averaging 11.0 points, 7.7 rebounds, and 2.7 assists across 27.9 minutes per game. The 26-year-old has been quietly putting together a strong season for the Celtics. He's usually more of a deep league option, but could take on a larger role offensively with
Jaylen Brown (calf) ruled out on Friday.

Boston Celtics forward
Jaylen Brown (calf) has been ruled out ahead of Friday's game against the Atlanta Hawks. Brown was questionable coming into this game due to a right calf injury. The superstar forward won't be able to shake the questionable tag and has been downgraded to out. The absence of Brown should mean that
Jayson Tatum,
Derrick White, and
Payton Pritchard take on larger roles offensively.
Baylor Scheierman is likely to see an expanded role in the rotation and should offer decent streaming appeal with Brown ruled out. The next chance for Brown to play will come on Sunday, so fantasy managers should check back for an update ahead of that game.

Boston Celtics guard
Derrick White (knee) is available ahead of Friday's game against the Atlanta Hawks. White will shed the questionable tag and suit up despite dealing with a right knee injury. The expectation is that White will be asked to take on a larger role offensively with
Jaylen Brown (calf) ruled out. This season, White is averaging 17.2 points, 4.5 rebounds, and 5.5 assists across 34.2 minutes per game. He should see a slight uptick in value with Brown sidelined, but is a must-start regardless of Brown's status. Fantasy managers should make sure White is active in their lineups ahead of tip-off.

New Orleans Pelicans guard
Dejounte Murray (Achilles) has been ruled out ahead of Friday's game against the Toronto Raptors. After playing 29 minutes on Thursday, Murray will sit out the second leg of the back-to-back set. Murray made his season debut in late February after missing the beginning of the season while recovering from an Achilles injury. The Pelicans are going to continue being cautious with Murray down the stretch of the season.
Jeremiah Fears,
Jordan Hawkins, and possibly
Jordan Poole should all see more playing time on Friday. Among the trio, Fears is the best streaming option ahead of Friday's slate.

New Orleans Pelicans guard
Trey Murphy III (ankle) has been ruled out ahead of Friday's game against the Toronto Raptors. Murphy will officially miss both legs of this back-to-back set due to a right ankle injury. His next chance to play will come on Sunday, so fantasy managers should check back ahead of that game. The absence of Murphy should mean more minutes for
Jeremiah Fears and
Jordan Hawkins. Between the two, Fears is the better streaming choice while Murphy is sidelined. He finished with 13 points, six assists, and two rebounds across 27 minutes on Thursday. Fantasy managers should consider Fears a viable streaming option for as long as Murphy is out.

Washington Wizards guard/forward
Bilal Coulibaly (heel) is questionable for Friday's game against the Warriors after continuing to deal with a lingering heel issue. If he sits,
Jamir Watkins and
Leaky Black could see expanded roles. Black is coming off an 11-point performance with seven rebounds, three assists, three steals, and three blocks in 40 minutes, making him an intriguing deep-league streamer for defensive stats. Watkins added eight points, six rebounds, and three steals off the bench and could also see enough run to warrant consideration in deeper formats if Coulibaly is unavailable.

Washington Wizards center
Alexandre Sarr (toe) is questionable for Friday's game against the Warriors after missing the last two contests with toe inflammation. If he remains out,
Julian Reese could continue to see run after erupting for 26 points and 17 rebounds in 30 minutes as a fill-in starter, though his two-way status makes him a risky fantasy play.
Tristan Vukcevic (back), if cleared to play, could also factor into the rotation after a 13-point outing earlier this week.
Anthony Gill remains a deeper league option after posting eight points, six rebounds, and five assists in his last appearance.

Utah Jazz forward/center
Kyle Filipowski (illness) is probable for Friday's game against the Nuggets after missing the team's previous contest. The second-year big man is expected to step back into the starting lineup and handle his normal workload if cleared to play. Filipowski finished with six points, eight rebounds, four assists, one steal, and one block in 30 minutes in his last outing, giving him modest fantasy value for rebounds and some secondary playmaking at center. His return would likely mean fewer minutes for
Oscar Tshiebwe and should help Utah get a bit more stability in the frontcourt rotation.

March 26, 2026
Utah Jazz guard
Isaiah Collier (hamstring) will not play Friday against Denver, marking his fifth straight absence due to the injury. With no clear return timetable, his availability for the remainder of the season remains uncertain.
Bez Mbeng should continue to log heavy minutes in the starting lineup after finishing with 11 points, six assists, and three steals in 44 minutes last game, giving him some deep-league appeal for assists and defensive stats.
Kennedy Chandler chipped in 14 points and eight assists off the bench and looks like the more attractive streaming option for managers needing guard production.

March 26, 2026
Los Angeles Lakers center
Deandre Ayton (back) is off the injury report for Friday's game against the Nets after missing the team's previous contest with back soreness. He is expected to reclaim his starting role, which pushes
Jaxson Hayes back to the bench and limits his streaming appeal. Ayton has averaged 10.2 points, 8.2 rebounds, and 0.8 blocks across his last five games, offering modest value for rebounds and field goal percentage. He remains a viable frontcourt option in standard leagues, especially for managers needing help in rebounds.
--Brian DailisanSource: NBA Injury Report
March 26, 2026
Los Angeles Lakers guard
Luka Doncic (hamstring) is questionable for Friday's game against Brooklyn after logging heavy minutes recently, including a 43-point effort with four three-pointers, six rebounds, and seven assists in 38 minutes last game. If he sits,
Austin Reaves and
LeBron James would be in line for increased usage after combining for 48 points and 17 assists in their last outing. Reaves could see more on-ball duties, while James may handle more playmaking.
Luke Kennard could also see extra minutes as a fringe streaming option if the Lakers are shorthanded.
--Brian DailisanSource: NBA Injury Report
March 26, 2026
Memphis Grizzlies guard
Ty Jerome (ankle) will miss Friday's game against Houston, marking his second straight absence due to a left ankle sprain.
Javon Small should remain in the starting lineup after finishing with eight points, one three-pointer, three rebounds, five assists, and one steal in 30 minutes last game, making him a viable deep-league streaming option for assists.
Walter Clayton Jr. also remains in the mix after recording 10 points and six assists in 22 minutes, while
Cam Spencer could continue to see steady minutes after handing out seven assists in 30 minutes.
--Brian DailisanSource: NBA Injury Report
March 26, 2026
Chicago Bulls guard
Anfernee Simons (wrist) is doubtful for Friday's game against Oklahoma City and appears likely to miss another contest as he continues recovering from a fractured left wrist that has sidelined him since February.
Tre Jones should continue to see steady minutes as a starter after producing 15 points, four rebounds, and seven assists in 28 minutes last game.
Collin Sexton also provides scoring off the bench after putting up 16 points and four assists in 19 minutes, keeping both guards on the deep-league radar while Simons remains out.
