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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

March 27, 2026
Chicago Bulls guard/forward
Isaac Okoro (knee) is available to play ahead of Friday's game against the Oklahoma City Thunder. As expected, Okoro is cleared to play after being listed as probable on the injury report. He made his return to the court after a seven-game absence on Wednesday. Okoro finished with 13 points and two rebounds across 23 minutes of action in that one. The expectation is that he'll have a similar role on Friday. This season, Okoro is averaging 9.1 points, 2.7 rebounds, and 1.6 assists across 26.9 minutes per game. He could offer deep league streaming value, but Okoro can be ignored in most fantasy formats.

March 27, 2026
Miami Heat guard/forward
Jaime Jaquez Jr. (ankle) will be in action on Friday against the Cleveland Cavaliers. He has been upgraded from probable to available. Jaquez Jr. has been dealing with a right ankle sprain lately, making only a limited impact. He hasn't played more than 19 minutes in either of the last two games, averaging 11.0 points. On Friday, Jaquez Jr.'s productivity could increase, as Cleveland allows the ninth-most bench points in the NBA.
--Taavi PailkSource: NBA Injury Report
March 27, 2026
Chicago Bulls center
Guerschon Yabusele (ankle) is available to play ahead of Friday's game against the Oklahoma City Thunder. Yabusele missed Monday's game due to a left ankle sprain, but was able to play on Wednesday. He finished with 11 points and four rebounds across 22 minutes during Wednesday's contest. He figures to play a slightly larger role with fellow big man
Nick Richards (elbow) unavailable for Friday's game.
Patrick Williams should also benefit in terms of playing time, but Yabusele has more upside in terms of fantasy value.
--Andy WebbSource: NBA Injury Report
March 27, 2026
Cleveland Cavaliers center
Jarrett Allen (knee) will return to action on Friday against the Atlanta Hawks. He has been cleared to play after missing 10 games due to a knee issue. The veteran big man has been named a starter for Friday's contest, but Cavaliers head coach Kenny Atkinson plans to limit his playing time to 20 minutes.
Keon Ellis will drop to the bench, reducing his fantasy value.
Thomas Bryant's playing time is also likely to take a hit with Allen's return.
--Taavi PailkSource: NBA Injury Report
March 27, 2026
Chicago Bulls center
Nick Richards (elbow) has been ruled out ahead of Friday's game against the Oklahoma City Thunder. Richards is unavailable here after an elbow injury limited him to nine minutes during Wednesday's contest. Without Richards, the Bulls will need to lean on
Guerschon Yabusele and
Patrick Williams. Between the two, Yabusele is the better streaming choice for Friday's slate. He finished with 11 points and four rebounds across 22 minutes on Wednesday. The 30-year-old offers enough scoring upside to warrant looking at in deep leagues as a streaming choice on Friday.
