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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

March 26, 2026
Cleveland Cavaliers center
Jarrett Allen (knee) is questionable for Friday's game against Miami after missing the last 10 games with right knee tendonitis. This is his first questionable tag since early March, signaling a possible return, though he could face minutes restrictions if active. His return would likely cut into
Thomas Bryant's role after he posted four points and five rebounds in 16 minutes last game.
Evan Mobley could shift back to power forward if Allen plays, while
Max Strus may continue to see increased opportunities on the wing with
Dean Wade (ankle) still sidelined.
--Brian DailisanSource: NBA Injury Report
March 26, 2026
Indiana Pacers guard/forward
Aaron Nesmith (back) is probable for Friday's game against the Clippers after being listed with lower back soreness following recent appearances on the injury report for other minor issues. Nesmith is expected to maintain his starting role and offers steady value for points and three-pointers, averaging 13.4 points, 2.6 triples, and 2.2 rebounds across his last five games. He remains a viable option in standard formats for managers needing perimeter scoring.
Andrew Nembhard and
Pascal Siakam should continue to handle most of the offense.
--Brian DailisanSource: NBA Injury Report
March 26, 2026
Boston Celtics forward/center
Neemias Queta (thumb) is questionable for Friday's game against Atlanta due to a right thumb sprain that could force him to miss time. If he sits,
Luka Garza could move into a larger role after finishing with seven points, one three-pointer, and two rebounds in 12 minutes off the bench Wednesday. Garza could be a fringe streaming option for managers needing frontcourt depth. His potential absence could also push Boston toward smaller lineups, with
Jayson Tatum and
Sam Hauser possibly seeing more rebounding opportunities.
--Brian DailisanSource: NBA Injury Report
March 26, 2026
Boston Celtics guard
Derrick White (knee) is questionable for Friday's game against Atlanta after logging 33 minutes in Wednesday's win while managing a knee bruise. If White is unavailable,
Payton Pritchard would likely take on a larger role after finishing with 14 points, four three-pointers, two rebounds, one assist, and one block in 33 minutes off the bench. Pritchard is already rostered in most leagues but would see a usage bump, while
Jayson Tatum and
Jaylen Brown (calf), if cleared to play, could also take on more playmaking duties.
--Brian DailisanSource: NBA Injury Report
March 26, 2026
Sacramento Kings guard
Killian Hayes (toe) is available to play ahead of Thursday's game against the Orlando Magic. Hayes is back after missing Tuesday's game due to left toe inflammation. He should continue to see a larger role in the rotation with
Russell Westbrook (foot) still sidelined. Over the last seven games, Hayes is averaging 7.7 points, 3.7 rebounds, and 3.6 assists in 21.7 minutes per game. His return to the rotation should mean a reduced role for
Devin Carter. Hayes should offer some deep league value with Westbrook still on the sideline right now.

March 26, 2026
Detroit Pistons forward
Tobias Harris (hip) has been upgraded to available ahead of Thursday's game against the New Orleans Pelicans. Harris will shed the questionable tag and suit up for the second game of this back-to-back set. He finished with 22 points, three rebounds, and three assists across 35 minutes of action during Wednesday's game. The veteran forward has been asked to pick up the slack offensively with
Cade Cunningham (lung) sidelined right now. Over the last six games, Harris is averaging 14.8 points, 5.5 rebounds, and 4.3 assists. Fantasy managers need to get him in their lineups ahead of tip-off.
--Andy WebbSource: NBA Injury Report
March 26, 2026
Detroit Pistons forward
Ausar Thompson (ankle) is available to play ahead of Thursday's game against the New Orleans Pelicans. As expected, Thompson is cleared to play after being listed as probable on the injury report. Despite the minor ankle injury, Thompson is ready to go for the second leg of this back-to-back set. The second-year forward is on a roll defensively, with 12 steals over his last three games. He needs to be rostered and started in most fantasy formats right now. Thompson looks to keep the good things rolling after dropping 18 points with four steals during Wednesday's contest.
--Andy WebbSource: NBA Injury Report
March 26, 2026
Detroit Pistons center
Jalen Duren (knee) has been upgraded to available ahead of Thursday's game against the New Orleans Pelicans. As expected, Duren is cleared to play after being listed as probable with a minor knee issue. Despite the minor injury, Duren will be out there for the second leg of this back-to-back set. Duren is one of the best centers in the league, so fantasy managers make sure he's active in their lineups. He's averaging 19.3 points, 10.6 rebounds, and 1.7 assists across 28.0 minutes per game this season. The 22-year-old has been asked to take on a larger role offensively since
Cade Cunningham (lung) went down.
--Andy WebbSource: NBA Injury Report
March 26, 2026
New Orleans Pelicans guard/forward
Trey Murphy III (ankle) is unavailable for the first leg of a back-to-back on Thursday versus the Detroit Pistons. He is dealing with a right ankle sprain and will miss his first game of the month.
Jeremiah Fears,
Yves Missi, and
Herbert Jones are expected to take on larger workloads in his absence, while
Jordan Poole may also re-enter the rotation.
