Washington Wizards center
Alexandre Sarr (toe) will not play Sunday against Portland as the second-year big man gets injury management on the first leg of a back-to-back. His absence could open short-term opportunities for
Tristan Vukcevic and
Anthony Gill in deeper formats. Gill logged 14 points, three assists, two steals, and one block in 25 minutes his last time out, while Vukcevic has flashed scoring upside in prior spot starts.
Julian Reese remains a risky option due to his two-way status.

Boston Celtics forward/center
Neemias Queta (thumb) is questionable for Sunday's game against Charlotte as he continues to deal with a right thumb sprain he has recently played through. If he is unable to go,
Luka Garza could step into a larger role after posting 11 points, four rebounds, and two assists in 15 minutes off the bench Friday, giving him some deep-league streaming appeal for rebounds and efficient scoring.
Payton Pritchard and
Sam Hauser could also see more consistent minutes and opportunities with the second unit.

Boston Celtics forward
Jayson Tatum (Achilles) is questionable for Sunday's game against Charlotte and could sit for maintenance on the first night of a back-to-back. If he rests,
Payton Pritchard would again profile as a strong DFS target after logging 35 minutes with 36 points, six three-pointers, seven rebounds, and four assists Friday, while
Sam Hauser and
Baylor Scheierman could see expanded scoring roles.
Jaylen Brown (Achilles) and
Derrick White also (knee) carry injury tags, which could further thin the rotation.

Boston Celtics guard
Derrick White (knee) is questionable for Sunday's game against Charlotte after managing a right knee contusion that has recently appeared on the injury report. If he is held out, Pritchard would likely take on more ballhandling duties after finishing with 36 points, six three-pointers, seven rebounds, and four assists in his last outing, reinforcing his value as a strong DFS and daily-lineup option.
Jayson Tatum (Achilles) and
Jaylen Brown (Achilles) could also see slight usage bumps if available.

Toronto Raptors guard
Immanuel Quickley (foot) will remain sidelined Sunday against Orlando due to plantar fasciitis, extending his recent absence and keeping the backcourt rotation thin.
Jamal Shead should continue to see streaming appeal after posting eight assists and two steals in 25 minutes Friday, while
Ja'Kobe Walter could also maintain a steady role.
Scottie Barnes and
RJ Barrett may absorb more playmaking duties. With the regular season nearly over, Quickley can be held if you have IL flexibility, but managers in tighter playoff matchups may need to look elsewhere. Shead profiles as a short-term assist streamer while Quickley remains out.

Toronto Raptors guard/forward
Brandon Ingram (heel) is questionable for Sunday's game against Orlando as he continues to manage a lingering foot concern. If he sits,
Ja'Kobe Walter and
Jamal Shead could be worth a look as deep-league streamers after both saw increased roles recently. Walter logged 18 points, four three-pointers, four assists, and one rebound in 34 minutes Friday, while Shead produced eight assists and two steals in 25 minutes off the bench.
Scottie Barnes and
RJ Barrett would also be positioned for more offensive responsibility.

Los Angeles Lakers guard
Luka Doncic (suspension) will miss Monday's game against Washington after drawing his 16th technical foul, triggering an automatic one-game ban. His absence should funnel more usage to
Austin Reaves, who posted 26 points, eight rebounds, five assists, and four three-pointers in 40 minutes during Friday's win, making him a strong DFS and category-league play.
Luke Kennard and
Jake LaRavia could see deeper-league streaming appeal if
Marcus Smart (ankle) sits.
LeBron James also gets a slight playmaking bump. Doncic remains a must-hold elite option and should return Tuesday.

Memphis Grizzlies guard
Walter Clayton Jr. (ankle) is available to play ahead of Saturday's game against the Chicago Bulls. Clayton will shed the questionable tag and suit up for the second leg of this back-to-back set. The rookie guard should continue playing a larger role in the rotation with
Ty Jerome (ankle) and
Cam Spencer (back) still sidelined. Over the last seven games, Clayton is averaging 9.1 points, 2.3 rebounds, and 4.0 assists across 23.9 minutes per game. Clayton is playing well enough right now to warrant a look in deep leagues right now.

Memphis Grizzlies guard
Jahmai Mashack (ankle, nose) is returning to the court ahead of Saturday's game against the Chicago Bulls. Mashack is back following a six-game absence due to a left ankle sprain and nasal fracture. Before the injury, Mashack was actually playing significant minutes in the rotation. It's unclear if that will remain the case with the Grizzlies getting healthy at the guard spot. There's some deep league value here, but Mashack remains far from a must-add fantasy player.

Chicago Bulls forward
Guerschon Yabusele (ankle) has been ruled out ahead of Saturday's game against the Memphis Grizzlies. Yabusele drew the start on Friday with
Nick Richards (elbow) unavailable. Now, both big men are sitting out for Saturday's contest, which puts the Bulls in a bad spot. Possibly,
Lachlan Olbrich draws the start, but
Patrick Williams and
Leonard Miller should absorb most of the extra playing time. Miller is bringing enough to the table right now to warrant a look as a streaming option on Saturday.

March 28, 2026
Sacramento Kings guard
Malik Monk will move into the starting five ahead of Saturday's game against the Atlanta Hawks. Fellow guard
Nique Clifford (foot) is available following a two-game absence. However, the Kings have elected to ease him back into action and start Monk on Saturday. Possibly, Clifford is going to be limited, but the team hasn't said anything about a minutes limit. Monk should play his normal role in the rotation on Saturday. This season, Monk is averaging 12.7 points, 1.9 rebounds, and 3.0 assists across 22.3 minutes per game. The veteran guard has played 30 minutes or more over the last three games, but could see a reduced role with Clifford back in the mix. Regardless, Monk is worth starting in most 12-team fantasy leagues.

Atlanta Hawks forward
Jonathan Kuminga (knee) has been ruled out ahead of Saturday's game against the Sacramento Kings. Unsurprisingly, Kuminga will take a seat in the second leg of this back-to-back set while he continues to deal with lingering knee issues. The Hawks are also without
Dyson Daniels (toe) on Saturday, so the depth of this team is going to be tested. Without them available,
Corey Kispert and
Zaccharie Risacher will be asked to take on larger roles. Neither player has great streaming value, but Risacher could be worth a look as a low-end option with big minutes likely coming his way on Saturday.

March 28, 2026
Atlanta Hawks center
Onyeka Okongwu (finger) has been ruled out ahead of Saturday's game against the Sacramento Kings. The big man appears to have suffered a finger injury that will keep him sidelined for this game. Luckily, fellow big man
Jock Landale (shoulder) is back in the mix following a one-game absence. Landale should move into the starting five and have increased fantasy value on Saturday.
Mouhamed Gueye should take over as the primary backup, but Landale is the better fantasy choice between the two. Fantasy managers should check back on Monday for another update on Okongwu ahead of their game against the Boston Celtics.

March 28, 2026
Atlanta Hawks center
Jock Landale (shoulder) is available to play ahead of Saturday's game against the Sacramento Kings. Landale is back in the mix following a one-game absence due to a shoulder injury. Fellow big man
Onyeka Okongwu (finger) is out, which means Landale should have an expanded role. Landale should start and play 25-plus minutes without Okongwu on the court. When he gets extra minutes, Landale is usually able to capitalize. Fantasy managers in need of help on Saturday should consider Landale as a streaming option.
--Andy WebbSource: NBA Injury Report
March 28, 2026
Atlanta Hawks guard
Dyson Daniels (toe) has been ruled out ahead of Saturday's game against the Sacramento Kings. Daniels was questionable coming into this game due to a left toe sprain. It appears to be significant enough to keep Daniels off the court for at least one game. His next chance to play will come on Monday against the Boston Celtics, so fantasy managers should check for another update ahead of that game. Without Daniels,
Corey Kispert and
Zaccharie Risacher should see expanded roles. Neither player is an ideal streaming option, but Risacher should offer some deep league value while Daniels sits out.
