Cleveland Cavaliers guard/forward
Max Strus (foot) returned for his season debut Sunday and finished with 24 points, eight rebounds, and one assist in 23 minutes against Dallas. The veteran wing looked comfortable immediately, knocking down six three-pointers on efficient shooting and potentially earning a larger role as his conditioning improves. His return could squeeze minutes for
Keon Ellis and
Jaylon Tyson, while
Sam Merrill may also face added competition once healthy. Strus shapes up as a three-point streaming option with upside if his workload climbs during the fantasy playoffs.

Golden State Warriors guard
Seth Curry (adductor) will be re-evaluated in about a week after suffering a mild left adductor strain, an injury that is expected to keep him out multiple games. The veteran sharpshooter has appeared in only four contests this season and has not held a consistent role, so his absence is unlikely to shift the rotation.
Brandin Podziemski and
De'Anthony Melton (knee) should continue handling most of the backcourt minutes, while
Pat Spencer,
Will Richard, and
Gary Payton II remain deep-league options only if injuries thin the guard group further.

Golden State Warriors forward/center
Al Horford (calf) will miss at least the next week after imaging revealed a minor right calf strain, with a recheck scheduled before a potential return.
Quinten Post could remain in the rotation after starting and posting 22 points with four three-pointers and three blocks in 36 minutes in his last outing, though his role may shrink once
Draymond Green (back) and
Kristaps Porzingis (illness) are fully available. Post is more of a deep-league flier for blocks and occasional threes, while
Gui Santos could continue seeing steady frontcourt minutes while Horford is out.

Los Angeles Clippers forward
Kawhi Leonard (ankle) is doubtful for Monday's game against the Spurs after turning his left ankle late in Saturday's contest. If the two-time Finals MVP sits,
Bennedict Mathurin could see more scoring chances after producing 24 points with six rebounds and one block in 35 minutes off the bench last game.
Darius Garland may also shoulder more offensive responsibility, while
Derrick Jones Jr. could absorb extra wing minutes. Mathurin looks like a points streamer with some upside, though his minutes and role could still shift depending on how the Clippers set their rotations.

Memphis Grizzlies forward/center
Santi Aldama (knee) will undergo a season-ending arthroscopic procedure to address lingering right knee discomfort after missing extended time down the stretch. The 25-year-old enjoyed a career year, producing 14.0 points, 6.7 rebounds, and 2.9 assists in 27.9 minutes across 43 appearances.
Olivier-Maxence Prosper and
Taylor Hendricks should continue seeing expanded roles, with Prosper recently scoring 17 points with three three-pointers in 22 minutes and Hendricks adding five rebounds, two steals, and two blocks in 30 minutes. Both profile as deep-league streamers, while
GG Jackson II (foot) could also factor in once healthy.

March 16, 2026
Sacramento Kings center
Drew Eubanks (thumb) is set to undergo surgery to repair a torn ligament in his left thumb, and he is likely to miss most of the remaining schedule.
Maxime Raynaud should continue handling starting duties after delivering eight points and 12 rebounds in 29 minutes last game, putting him on the radar as a rebounds streamer.
Dylan Cardwell chipped in seven rebounds in 16 minutes and could earn a larger role as he ramps up following his recent return. Raynaud is the safer add for now, while Cardwell is a name to watch in deeper leagues if his minutes climb.

Utah Jazz guard
Isaiah Collier (knee) did not return to Sunday's game against the Sacramento Kings after suffering a right knee contusion, finishing with 21 points, five rebounds, three assists, one steal, and one block in 24 minutes. With the second-year guard likely to miss time on a shorthanded, development-focused roster,
Bez Mbeng could see a steady run after logging 33 minutes with modest counting stats in his last outing.
Brice Sensabaugh and
Cody Williams may also see added usage. Collier remains a hold in deeper leagues, while Mbeng profiles as a speculative deep-league assist and steals streamer if he draws a start
--Brian DailisanSource: Utah Jazz
March 15, 2026
New Orleans Pelicans guard
Dejounte Murray (illness) is questionable for Monday's game against the Mavericks and could miss time, depending on how he responds at shootaround. If he sits, rookie guard
Jeremiah Fears could see more minutes after posting nine points with three three-pointers and one rebound in 13 minutes off the bench last game. Fears is a speculative deep-league streamer for managers needing points and threes.
Trey Murphy III and
Zion Williamson would likely take on more playmaking responsibilities.
--Brian DailisanSource: NBA Injury Report
March 15, 2026
Houston Rockets forward/center
Alperen Sengun (back) is questionable for Monday's matchup against the Lakers and could miss a second straight game due to low back pain. His absence would open frontcourt minutes, with
Dorian Finney-Smith logging 27 minutes as a spot starter last game, finishing with four rebounds, two assists, two steals, and one block, while
Clint Capela produced nine points, five rebounds, two assists, one steal, and four blocks in 22 minutes. Capela looks like a solid defensive streamer for managers needing blocks, while Finney-Smith is more of a deep-league option due to his limited offensive role.
Kevin Durant could also see a slight usage bump if Sengun sits, with more scoring responsibility likely falling on his shoulders.
--Brian DailisanSource: NBA Injury Report
March 15, 2026
Brooklyn Nets forward/center
Noah Clowney (rest) has been ruled out for Monday's matchup against the Trail Blazers as the team manages his workload. His absence should open additional minutes in the frontcourt, with
Danny Wolf coming off a 15-point, 10-rebound performance with two assists and one three-pointer in 27 minutes last game. Wolf looks like a solid streaming option while the opportunity remains.
Josh Minott could also see more chances after scoring 14 points with three three-pointers in 22 minutes.
Nicolas Claxton's (rest) return should help solidify the rotation and may cut into the upside of Brooklyn's other big men.
--Brian DailisanSource: NBA Injury Report
March 15, 2026
Brooklyn Nets forward
Michael Porter Jr. (ankle) has been ruled out for Monday's game against the Trail Blazers, marking his third straight absence as he continues to recover from a right ankle sprain.
Danny Wolf should continue seeing a larger role after producing 15 points, 10 rebounds, two assists, and one three-pointer in 27 minutes as a starter in the last game. Wolf looks like a solid streaming option.
Ziaire Williams and
Josh Minott could also see more opportunities after combining for 23 points and five three-pointers, though both remain riskier fantasy plays due to fluctuating roles.
--Brian DailisanSource: NBA Injury Report
March 15, 2026
Washington Wizards center
Alexandre Sarr (hamstring) has been ruled out for Monday's game against the Warriors as the team manages his workload heading into the first leg of a back-to-back set. The second-year big man is expected to have a chance to return Tuesday against Detroit.
Tristan Vukcevic could step into a larger role after posting 22 points, three rebounds, one assist, one steal, and six three-pointers in 20 minutes off the bench last game. Vukcevic looks like the clear streaming target, while
Anthony Gill and
Julian Reese could also see more opportunities with Washington short on frontcourt options.
--Brian DailisanSource: NBA Injury Report
March 15, 2026
New York Knicks forward/center
Jeremy Sochan (illness) is available for Sunday's matchup against the Warriors after sitting out Friday. The 22-year-old has played only limited reserve minutes recently, including a three-minute outing March 11 against Utah when he posted four points, one rebound, and one steal. With
Karl-Anthony Towns,
OG Anunoby, and
Mitchell Robinson healthy, Sochan remains buried in the frontcourt rotation. His limited role caps his fantasy value, making him a low-impact option outside of very deep leagues.
--Brian DailisanSource: NBA Injury Report
March 15, 2026
Golden State Warriors center
Omer Yurtseven is set to be available Sunday against the Knicks after signing a 10-day contract to help address the team's depleted frontcourt. With
Draymond Green (back),
Al Horford (calf), and
Kristaps Porzingis (illness) all sidelined, Yurtseven could see immediate rotation minutes alongside
Quinten Post. The 27-year-old averaged 4.6 points and 4.3 rebounds in 11.4 minutes across 48 games with Utah during the 2023-24 season and remains a speculative deep-league fantasy add for now.

March 15, 2026
Golden State Warriors center
Quinten Post (ankle) is available for Sunday's game against the Knicks and could see a larger role with
Draymond Green (back),
Al Horford (calf), and
Kristaps Porzingis (illness) all sidelined. Post logged seven points, three rebounds, and one three-pointer in 12 minutes last game and may see additional frontcourt opportunities alongside
Omer Yurtseven. The opportunity is there, but Post remains a low-end fantasy option best suited for deeper leagues needing rebounds or blocks.
Gui Santos should also continue seeing heavy minutes with the shorthanded Warriors.
