Tue Mar 1216:01Tyler Herro, Kevin Love Still Out WednesdayKevin LoveCTimberwolvesSchellackers
Tyler HerroFree Agent
Miami Heat guard Tyler Herro (foot) and center Kevin Love (heel) remain out for Wednesday's contest versus the Denver Nuggets. Herro will be sidelined for a ninth straight game due to medial tendinitis in his right foot, while Love will miss a seventh consecutive matchup with a bruised right heel. Friday's tilt against the Detroit Pistons marks both players' next opportunities to return for the Heat. While there's no direct fantasy beneficiary of Love's absence due to his limited playing time, Duncan Robinson has delivered top-75 value in nine-category setups through his last 12 games (10 starts), averaging 15.2 points, 3.6 assists, and 3.6 threes on 43.4% shooting from downtown with 92.9% shooting from the free-throw line.

Tue Mar 1215:56Jrue Holiday Available For Soft MatchupJrue HolidayPG76ersBuchanalia
Boston Celtics guard Jrue Holiday (knee) isn't listed on the injury report for Tuesday's tilt against the Utah Jazz. After sitting out Monday's romp of the Portland Trail Blazers with tendinopathy in his left knee, Holiday is good to go on the second leg of Boston's back-to-back. The stars could be aligning for a big night out of the 33-year-old two-time All-Star in his return, considering the Celtics will be without Jaylen Brown (pelvis) and Kristaps Porzingis (hamstring) on Tuesday. That means more usage is headed Holiday's way in an ideal matchup against a Jazz team allowing more DraftKings points to opposing point guards than any other this season. He's also on the cusp of third-round value in 12-team nine-category leagues across his 11 games, averaging 11.2 points, 5.7 assists, 2.2 threes while shooting a robust 53.3% from beyond the arc, and 1.3 steals in 32.2 minutes.

Tue Mar 1215:43Kristaps Porzingis, Al Horford Both Out TuesdayAl HorfordCHawksBack in the Saddle
Kristaps PorzingisFree Agent
Boston Celtics centers Kristaps Porzingis (hamstring) and Al Horford (toe) are both out for Tuesday's meeting with the Utah Jazz. A strained right hamstring will cost Porzingis a third straight game, and a sprained left big toe will sideline Horford on the second night of Boston's back-to-back after the Celtics defeated the Portland Trail Blazers on Monday. Both big men will set their sights toward returning for Thursday's duel with the Phoenix Suns. The Celts will be very thin in the middle against Utah, so Luke Kornet should be thrust into a featured role at the five as a chalky DFS value play. The 28-year-old rim protector has played at least 30 minutes in both of his starts this year, averaging 13.0 points, 8.5 rebounds, 3.5 assists, and 3.0 blocks over these two appearances.

Tue Mar 1215:02Stephen Curry Not Expected To Play WednesdayStephen CurrySGWarriorsBuchanalia
Golden State Warriors head coach Steve Kerr doesn't expect guard Stephen Curry (ankle) to play in Wednesday's game against the Dallas Mavericks. Curry's sprained right ankle that he sustained in last Thursday's loss to the Chicago Bulls is set to be re-evaluated on Tuesday, but fantasy managers should consider him doubtful at best against Dallas. Assuming he's soon officially ruled out for Wednesday, the 35-year-old two-time MVP's next chance to return comes during Saturday's showdown with the Los Angeles Lakers. Chris Paul has orchestrated Golden State's offense and enjoyed heightened fantasy value in Curry's stead, starting the past two contests and averaging 14.8 points, 7.3 assists, 5.3 rebounds, 2.0 steals, and 2.2 three-pointers over four appearances without Curry this year.

Sun Mar 1021:56Jrue Holiday Could Miss Monday's GameJrue HolidayPG76ersBuchanalia
Boston Celtics guard Jrue Holiday (knee) is listed as questionable ahead of Monday's game against the Portland Trail Blazers. This is bad timing for the Celtics with multiple guards all on the injury report together. Holiday is joined by Derrick White (hand) and Jaylen Brown (groin) as questionable for Monday. If they can't play, Payton Pritchard and Sam Hauser could be looking at bigger roles in the rotation. Fantasy managers will have to check back on Monday for another update on their status.

Sun Mar 1021:42LeBron James Available For SundayLeBron JamesSFCavaliersBack in the Saddle
Los Angeles Lakers forward LeBron James (ankle) is active ahead of Sunday's game against the Minnesota Timberwolves. James is back in the lineup after sitting out of Friday's game. Fellow superstar Anthony Davis (shoulder) will also be active for this game. Both players are expected to return to their normal roles in the starting five. They should be fine for solid outings against the banged up Wolves' roster. Fantasy managers should make sure to get both James and Davis in there before tip-off.

Sun Mar 1019:13Eric Gordon Ruled Out For MondayEric GordonSGClippersDoppelganger
Phoenix Suns guard/forward Eric Gordon (knee) won't play on Monday versus the Cavaliers. The veteran sniper hurt his left knee on Saturday against Boston and will need some time to heal. He's gone through a very rough three-game stretch, so having some time off might actually do good for Gordon, who went scoreless in 29 minutes against the Celtics and has made only three of his last 17 shot attempts. Gordon's exit from the lineup will coincide with the likely return of Devin Booker (ankle), who will grab his minutes and then some.

Sun Mar 1013:57James Harden Cleared To Meet MilwaukeeJames HardenSGThunderSchellackers
Los Angeles Clippers guard James Harden (shoulder) will play on Sunday versus the Bucks. The 34-year-old has been burdened by a strained shoulder, although he's managed to suit up despite carrying injury designations. Harden had 14 points, 11 rebounds, and 10 assists in Saturday's win over the Chicago Bulls. Although his days as a consistent triple-double threat are over, he could have another strong fantasy showing on Sunday, considering Paul George (knee) and Kawhi Leonard (groin) aren't available.

Sat Mar 915:42James Harden Active On SaturdayJames HardenSGThunderSchellackers
Los Angeles Clippers guard James Harden (shoulder) will play on Saturday versus Chicago. He carried a questionable designation heading into this one because of a strained left shoulder. But the injury won't be enough to keep him out of the lineup versus the Bulls. The 34-year-old has averaged 17.7 points, 8.3 assists, and 5.1 boards this season, down from the 2022-23 campaign. However, he's still a reliable fantasy option, even though his MVP days are over. Fantasy managers need to make sure he's in their fantasy lineups. Yet, DFS participants should think twice, especially since the Clippers' starting unit could see fewer minutes than usual in preparation for Sunday's matchup with the Milwaukee Bucks.

Sat Mar 900:19James Harden Questionable Saturday Versus ChicagoJames HardenSGThunderSchellackers
Los Angeles Clippers guard James Harden (shoulder) for Saturday's matchup against the Chicago Bulls may not suit up due to a left shoulder injury. This new injury poses a challenge for Harden, though it's anticipated to be a day-to-day concern. The Clippers may find themselves severely depleted as both Kawhi Leonard (groin), dealing with a groin issue, and Paul George (knee), nursing a knee problem, are also marked as questionable. Further updates on the condition of these key players are anticipated as game time approaches.

Fri Mar 818:36Nicolas Batum Ruled Out For FridayNicolas BatumSFTrailblazersBuchanalia
Philadelphia 76ers forward Nicolas Batum (foot) has been ruled out for Friday's meeting with New Orleans. He has been downgraded from a questionable status. Batum comes out of the lineup right after getting a new look in the starting unit against Memphis on Wednesday. His absence could give a starter's role back to Kelly Oubre Jr., while Kenyon Martin Jr. might also have a larger role. Oubre Jr. is enjoying a good season in Philadelphia and could be ready for a massive night offensively on Friday, with Joel Embiid (knee) and Tyrese Maxey (concussion) out of the lineup.

Fri Mar 818:28LeBron James Won't Play Against BucksLeBron JamesSFCavaliersBack in the Saddle
Los Angeles Lakers forward LeBron James (ankle) will sit out Friday's contest against Milwaukee. The veteran superstar exited the last game against Sacramento early due to a lingering left ankle problem, and he will get some rest on Friday. James has played through the ailment for quite a while, so he should make a quick return to the lineup. Taurean Prince has started the two most recent games James has missed. His absence should provide a big boost to the usage of Anthony Davis and D'Angelo Russell. In seven games without James this season, Davis has taken his scoring average to 29.0 points, while Russell has posted 18.9 points and 6.5 assists without James.

Fri Mar 817:41Nicolas Batum Questionable Against New OrleansNicolas BatumSFTrailblazersBuchanalia
Philadelphia 76ers forward Nicolas Batum (foot) is uncertain to suit up for Friday's game against the visiting Pelicans. The 35-year-old has been heavily involved of late, logging 30 minutes in four games in March. But he's dealing with foot soreness, and considering his history, fantasy managers should begin planning accordingly. If Batum is ruled out, Kenyon Martin Jr. might see more action. However, he'd be a risky option in any fantasy format.

Fri Mar 816:25Stephen Curry To Miss 'At Least One Game'Stephen CurrySGWarriorsBuchanalia
Golden State Warriors guard Stephen Curry (ankle) seemed to dodge a serious injury as he's only expected to miss "at least a game or few games." According to Shams Charania of The Athletic, there is optimism that his absence won't be lengthy. That's a sigh of relief for the Warriors and fantasy managers everywhere. Curry hasn't been supplying the season that most expected of him this year, but he's still been one of the most consistent players on the Warriors. In the meantime, Chris Paul should see a big boost in playing time while Jonathan Kuminga, Brandin Podziemski, and Andrew Wiggins will all take on some more opportunities as well.

Fri Mar 810:43Stephen Curry Exited Thursday With Ankle InjuryStephen CurrySGWarriorsBuchanalia
Golden State Warriors guard Stephen Curry (ankle) was forced to exit their Thursday night game against the Chicago Bulls after seemingly spraining his ankle with 3:51 left in the fourth quarter. As he was driving to the hoop while being guarded by Alex Caruso, he planted and rolled his ankle in the paint. This was the first time the Warriors had a fully healthy roster since November after they got Andrew Wiggins back, but now it's unclear if Curry will need to miss some time. The official reports should come out soon after the team does some X-rays and an MRI, but if he does end up missing at least a game, Chris Paul should move into the starting five. Brandin Podziemski would also be an intriguing streaming option.

Thu Mar 721:30Jeff Green Questionable With Knee PainJeff GreenPFThunderSchellackers
Houston Rockets forward Jeff Green (knee) is in danger of missing his second consecutive game since he's listed as questionable with knee pain. The veteran forward has only been a streaming option this year as his minutes would go up once the Rockets started suffering more injuries. As long as the main rotation is healthy, Green hasn't received enough opportunities to make him a quality fantasy play. If he's unable to play, Jabari Smith Jr. and Cam Whitmore should both get a slight boost in minutes while Jae'Sean Tate could see some more opportunities off of the bench.

Thu Mar 720:31LeBron James Questionable Again On FridayLeBron JamesSFCavaliersBack in the Saddle
Los Angeles Lakers forward LeBron James (ankle) has been tagged as questionable for Friday's game against the Milwaukee Bucks. He continues to suffer from peroneal tendinopathy in his left ankle which knocked him out of a few games in mid-February. The trend seems to be receiving a questionable tag to start out, then he and the team decide after shootaround and warming up if he'll play or not. Fantasy managers with James on their team are used to this song and dance by now, so they'll have to wait until closer to game time to check his status. If he's unable to play, potential streaming options would include Rui Hachimura and Spencer Dinwiddie.

Thu Mar 717:47Taj Gibson Available For Pistons ThursdayTaj GibsonPFBullsBuchanalia
Detroit Pistons forward/center Taj Gibson is available to make his team debut on Thursday versus Brooklyn. The veteran signed a 10-day contract with the Pistons earlier in the week. Gibson finds himself on his seventh team in the NBA. He's had 16 games with the Knicks this season, posting 1.0 points and 1.8 rebounds in 10.3 minutes. The 38-year-old likely won't feature much for Detroit either, serving as a backup for a young frontcourt of Isaiah Stewart, Jalen Duren, and James Wiseman.

Thu Mar 716:03Tyrese Maxey Out, Kyle Lowry Available FridayKyle LowryPGRocketsThe Sith Lords
Tyrese MaxeyFree Agent
Philadelphia 76ers guard Tyrese Maxey (concussion) won't play in Friday's tilt versus the New Orleans Pelicans, but guard Kyle Lowry (rest) will be available. After taking a hit to the head in Sunday's win over the Dallas Mavericks, Maxey remains in concussion protocol and will miss a third consecutive game. The All-Star guard's next chance to suit up arrives in Sunday's contest against the New York Knicks. Lowry is off the injury report after resting Wednesday, however, and his fantasy value is closely associated to Maxey's availability. Cameron Payne gave Philly some decent run in Wednesday's spot start in the loss to the Memphis Grizzlies, scoring 16 points with four assists, two threes, and one steal in 28 minutes, but he'll presumably head back to the second unit with Lowry back against the Pels. Lowry is averaging 12.7 points, 7.3 dimes, 4.0 rebounds, and 2.7 treys over his past three starts for the Sixers.

Thu Mar 708:41LeBron James Exits Early Due To Lingering Ankle IssueLeBron JamesSFCavaliersBack in the Saddle
Los Angeles Lakers forward LeBron James missed the end of Wednesday's matchup against Sacramento due to his lingering left ankle injury. James exited the contest and limped to the locker room with 3:58 left to play in the fourth quarter. The Lakers were tailing 122-108 at the time, which could've played a big part in James' decision to leave. He was playing outstanding basketball before the exit and finished a 130-120 loss with a team-high 31 points, five rebounds, and 13 assists. James, who logged 36 minutes in the contest, admitted postgame that he didn't feel the injury at all before the fourth quarter began while noting he was completely pain-free in Monday's matchup against Oklahoma City. James has been a regular on the injury report but has played in seven consecutive games. However, fantasy managers need to monitor his status very closely, as James' body seemingly told him Wednesday to take some time off to rest. The Lakers return to action on Friday versus Milwaukee.
