Minnesota Timberwolves forward/center
Naz Reid (ankle) has been ruled out for Friday's game against the Trail Blazers, marking his second straight absence.
Kyle Anderson could continue to see extra run after putting up eight points, three rebounds, six assists, and one steal in 22 minutes last game, giving him some deep-league appeal for assists from a forward spot. Rookie big
Joan Beringer may also see a limited run after grabbing seven rebounds in nine minutes.
Rudy Gobert should continue handling the bulk of the center workload. Reid remains roster-worthy if he can return soon.

Memphis Grizzlies forward/center
GG Jackson II (knee) has been ruled out Friday against the Celtics after being downgraded from doubtful due to left knee soreness. His absence should keep
Taylor Hendricks and
Olivier-Maxence Prosper in larger roles. Hendricks delivered 13 points with six steals and three blocks in 24 minutes off the bench last game, giving him strong category streaming appeal, while Prosper added 19 points and three three-pointers in 23 minutes as a starter. Both are worth a look as fantasy options with Memphis thin in the frontcourt.
Jaylen Wells could also take on a bit more offensive responsibility.

Los Angeles Lakers guard/forward
Austin Reaves (hip) is questionable for Saturday's game against the Magic due to left hip soreness, his first injury concern since February. If he sits,
Jake LaRavia,
Rui Hachimura, and
Luke Kennard could see increased minutes. LaRavia logged 18 minutes with five points, one three-pointer, six rebounds, one assist, and one block in the last game, making him a possible deep-league streamer.
Luka Doncic would likely handle more playmaking duties, while
LeBron James could also see a slight usage increase. Reaves remains a must-start if cleared.

Los Angeles Clippers forward
Kawhi Leonard (ankle) is questionable for Saturday's game against the Mavericks after missing two of the last three contests due to a left ankle sprain.
Jordan Miller could remain in the starting lineup if Leonard sits after posting 11 points, eight rebounds, five assists, and one steal in 37 minutes Thursday, giving him deep-league streaming appeal.
John Collins, who finished with 18 points and eight rebounds, and
Derrick Jones Jr., who added 22 points, may also absorb extra usage. Leonard remains a must-start when active, though managers should monitor his status closely.

Washington Wizards guard
Trae Young (quadriceps) will miss Saturday's game against the Thunder, marking his third straight absence after suffering a quad contusion earlier this week.
Bub Carrington should continue starting at point guard and remains a short-term fantasy add after posting 10 points, one three-pointer, six rebounds, and four assists in 35 minutes last game, though managers should expect some inefficiency and turnovers.
Bilal Coulibaly and
Will Riley (adductor), if available, could also take on larger offensive roles with Young sidelined.

March 20, 2026
Brooklyn Nets guard
Terance Mann (illness) has been ruled out ahead of Friday's game against the New York Knicks. He was a late addition to the injury report due to an illness. It appears to be significant enough to hold him out of Friday's game. Mann has only been playing minutes in the teens lately anyway. His absence won't mean too much for the Nets' overall rotation.
Drake Powell,
Nolan Traore, and
Ben Saraf should absorb the extra minutes. At this point in the season, the Nets are giving their younger players more looks, so Mann won't be an ideal option.

March 20, 2026
Miami Heat guard/forward
Andrew Wiggins (toe) will miss Saturday's game against the Rockets, extending his absence to eight straight contests as he remains without a clear return timeline. His continued absence should keep
Pelle Larsson in the starting group after he logged 33 minutes with 11 points, two rebounds, and five assists in his last start, making him a fringe option in deeper leagues.
Tyler Herro and
Norman Powell should continue carrying the scoring load, while
Bam Adebayo maintains his steady all-around role.
--Brian DailisanSource: NBA Injury Report
March 20, 2026
Detroit Pistons guard
Marcus Sasser (hip) has been ruled out ahead of Friday's game against the Golden State Warriors. Sasser will miss the second leg of this back-to-back set due to right hip soreness. He finished with two points and five assists across 14 minutes during Thursday's game. His absence should mean an uptick in playing time for
Daniss Jenkins,
Caris LeVert, and
Duncan Robinson. Jenkins is expected to play heavy minutes going forward with
Cade Cunningham (lung) sidelined indefinitely. He should be able to offer solid streaming value alongside LeVert and Robinson.
--Andy WebbSource: NBA Injury Report
March 20, 2026
Memphis Grizzlies guard/forward
Cedric Coward (personal) is out Friday against the Celtics after being added late to the injury report. The rookie has been logging steady minutes in a starting role, so his absence opens up wing opportunities.
Walter Clayton Jr. could see added run after posting four points, two rebounds, and four assists in 20 minutes off the bench last game.
Rayan Rupert could also enter the streaming mix in deeper leagues if he gets the start, while
Jaylen Wells may take on a bit more of the scoring load.

March 20, 2026
Golden State Warriors center
Quinten Post (foot) has been ruled out ahead of Friday's game against the Detroit Pistons. The Warriors have decided to hold out Post during the front end of this back-to-back set.
Al Horford (calf) is also sidelined, so the Warriors will rely on
Draymond Green and
Kristaps Porzingis at the center spot. Possibly,
Omer Yurtseven gets involved as well, but he's unlikely to play enough to warrant streaming. Post figures to return for Saturday's game, but fantasy managers will need to check back for another update.

March 20, 2026
New York Knicks forward/center
Karl-Anthony Towns (personal) will play Friday against the Nets after briefly carrying a questionable tag. Towns continues to play at a high level, averaging 24.0 points, 11.6 rebounds, 4.0 assists, and 1.8 three-pointers across his last five games in 32.4 minutes. He remains a strong source of scoring and rebounding while providing out-of-position assists.
Mitchell Robinson should continue handling a smaller supporting role off the bench. Towns remains locked into lineups as a clear must-start during the fantasy playoffs.
--Brian DailisanSource: James L. Edwards III
March 20, 2026
Brooklyn Nets forward
Ziaire Williams (foot) is available to play ahead of Friday's game against the New York Knicks. Williams will shake off the questionable tag and suit up despite dealing with left foot soreness. The Nets are shorthanded right now, so Williams will likely be asked to play an expanded role. Over the last three games, Williams is averaging 7.0 points and 1.3 steals across 20.2 minutes per game. Williams isn't anything more than a low-end streaming option in deep leagues right now.
--Andy WebbSource: NBA Injury Report
March 20, 2026
Brooklyn Nets guard
Ben Saraf (foot) is available to play ahead of Friday's game against the New York Knicks. Saraf is back in the mix after sitting out Wednesday's loss to the Oklahoma City Thunder due to a foot issue. The rookie guard figures to resume his role as the backup point guard to
Nolan Traore. He has been playing better lately, with 10 points or more in four straight games. Saraf could be someone worth looking at as a streaming option in deep leagues.

March 20, 2026
Indiana Pacers center
Ivica Zubac (ribs) will officially miss the rest of the 2025-2026 regular season, according to Dustin Dopriak. Zubac won't play again after suffering a fractured rib during Wednesday's loss to the Portland Trail Blazers. The big man was acquired at the trade deadline in a deal with the Los Angeles Clippers. Sadly, Zubac was only able to suit up in five games for the Pacers this season. The Pacers aren't playing for anything but lottery odds, so they'll give Zubac plenty of time to rest and recover.
Jay Huff should move into the starting five for the remainder of the season. Given the Pacers' injuries, Huff figures to play a significant role and should offer fantasy value in most formats.
--Andy WebbSource: Dustin Dopriak
March 20, 2026
Toronto Raptors forward/center
Collin Murray-Boyles (thumb) is listed as doubtful for Friday's game against the Nuggets and appears likely to miss another contest due to his lingering sprain. His continued absence should keep
Jakob Poeltl locked into steady frontcourt minutes after he produced 17 points, eight rebounds, two assists, one steal, and one block in 21 minutes last game.
Sandro Mamukelashvili chipped in 17 points, four rebounds, and five assists in 22 minutes and could be a deep-league streaming option for scoring.
Jamison Battle could also see rotation minutes, though most fantasy managers can look elsewhere during the playoffs.
