Tue Apr 2 | 09:50 | Patrick Beverley On Track To Play Versus Washington | Patrick Beverley | PG | Rockets | Free Agent |
Milwaukee Bucks point guard Patrick Beverley (wrist) is considered probable for Tuesday's clash with the Wizards. He's carried the tag ahead of a couple of games now but has featured in both. Beverly had a large part to play in the last game as well, with Damian Lillard (groin) absent from the lineup for personal reasons. Lillard will be missing again on Tuesday due to a groin injury, giving Beverley another opportunity to put in a big shift. He notched 18 points, five rebounds, five assists, one steal, and one block in 36 minutes against Atlanta on Saturday. The veteran faces another leaky defense on Tuesday, so Beverley could cook up a good all-around fantasy line again. |

Mon Apr 1 | 21:49 | Aaron Gordon Expected To Play Tuesday | Aaron Gordon | PF | Magic | Free Agent |
Denver Nuggets forward Aaron Gordon (foot) has been tagged as probable for their matchup with the San Antonio Spurs. The 28-year-old has played in each of the team's last three games and it looks like the right foot strain won't keep him out of this one. The Nuggets are fighting for the first seed in the West right now as they're tied with the Oklahoma City Thunder. Gordon may not be scoring as much as he did last year, but he's an integral part of this team's success and has contributed more to fantasy teams outside of just scoring. He remains a solid option in DFS lineups and deep fantasy leagues. |

Mon Apr 1 | 18:29 | Jerami Grant Ruled Out Monday | Jerami Grant | SF | 76ers | Free Agent |
Portland Trail Blazers forward Jerami Grant (hamstring) has been officially ruled out for Monday's contest against Orlando. He's been sidelined for a number of weeks with a hamstring problem, and Grant's absence doesn't come as a surprise after he was initially labeled as doubtful on the injury report. The Trail Blazers also recently lost Toumani Camara (ribs, lung) from the lineup, which has pushed Jabari Walker to the starting unit. The 21-year-old has posted 8.2 points and 7.9 rebounds in a starting role this season. He has an uncomfortable matchup on Monday against a slow-paced team that boasts an air-tight defense. |

Mon Apr 1 | 14:21 | Joel Embiid Won’t Return Tuesday | Joel Embiid | C | 76ers | Free Agent |
Philadelphia 76ers center Joel Embiid (knee) is officially listed as out ahead of Tuesday's showdown with the Oklahoma City Thunder. ESPN's Adrian Wojnarowski and The Athletic's Shams Charania both reported on Monday morning that Embiid is targeting a return during fantasy championship week from a two-month absence following left knee surgery, but it appears that managers will have to wait at least one more game. The reigning MVP's next chance to return comes on Thursday against the Miami Heat. Although Mo Bamba ranks inside fantasy's top 80 in nine-category leagues over the past two weeks, averaging 8.5 points on 56.8% shooting from the floor, 6.4 rebounds, 1.6 blocks, and 0.9 three-pointers across his last eight games (all starts), he's only playing 19.7 minutes per contest since March 18 and isn't the most reliable streaming option. |

| | | OG Anunoby | | | Free Agent |
New York Knicks forwards OG Anunoby (elbow) and Julius Randle (shoulder) appear unlikely to return to action this season. Following Sunday's 113-112 loss to the Oklahoma City Thunder, Knicks guard/forward Josh Hart said that the team would be "pleasantly surprised" if Anunoby and Randle returned to the court in 2023-24. Anunoby made a comeback from elbow surgery on March 12 but played in only three games, while Randle has been out of the lineup since the end of January, missing 28 contests. The injuries have given extra fantasy value to Hart, who averaged 10.9 points, 11.9 rebounds, 6.3 assists, and 1.1 steals across March. Donte DiVincenzo and Precious Achiuwa have also taken on larger roles. |

Sun Mar 31 | 23:04 | Jerami Grant Unlikely To Play Against Orlando | Jerami Grant | SF | 76ers | Free Agent |
Portland Trail Blazers forward Jerami Grant (hamstring) is doubtful for Monday's matchup with Orlando. He's been sidelined for a few weeks because of a nagging hamstring strain, an injury that's bothered him throughout the year. But the Trail Blazers aren't going to the postseason, so Grant may not be back for the rest of the 2023-24 campaign. With Anfernee Simons (knee), Malcolm Brogdon (elbow), and Shaedon Sharpe (abdomen) still sidelined, Deandre Ayton, Dalano Banton, Scoot Henderson, and Kris Murray all warrant DFS consideration, especially if Grant is officially ruled out. |

Sun Mar 31 | 20:33 | Gary Harris Likely To Play On Monday | Gary Harris | SG | Nuggets | Free Agent |
Orlando Magic guard Gary Harris (foot) is expected to suit up ahead of Monday's game against the Portland Trail Blazers. He sat out on Saturday but appears to be ready to play again as he has been removed from the injury report. His return to the lineup should push Caleb Houstan back to the second unit. Despite starting, Harris hasn't brought much to the table in terms of fantasy value lately. |

Sat Mar 30 | 15:53 | Gary Harris Sitting On Saturday | Gary Harris | SG | Nuggets | Free Agent |
Orlando Magic guard Gary Harris (foot) won't play on Saturday against Memphis. The 29-year-old logged 24 minutes in Friday's three-point loss to the Los Angeles Clippers. Yet, he'll sit out the second of back-to-back contests, which isn't unusual. With Jonathan Isaac (hamstring) also getting a breather, Cole Anthony, Markelle Fultz, and Caleb Houstan could see a few additional minutes. However, not enough to make much of a difference from a DFS standpoint. |

Sat Mar 30 | 09:45 | Patrick Beverley Probable For Saturday's Game | Patrick Beverley | PG | Rockets | Free Agent |
Milwaukee Bucks point guard Patrick Beverley (wrist) is considered probable for Saturday's action against the Hawks. The veteran guard missed a game against the Lakers earlier in the week with a right wrist sprain but played through the ailment on Thursday night versus New Orleans. Beverley missed all four shots against the Pelicans while playing only seven minutes, but he is expected to be in the lineup again on Saturday. The Bucks can use Beverley to slow down the in-form Dejounte Murray a bit, but he hasn't carried a lot of fantasy value for most of the campaign. |

Fri Mar 29 | 19:36 | Jerami Grant Out For 10th Consecutive Game | Jerami Grant | SF | 76ers | Free Agent |
Portland Trail Blazers forward Jerami Grant (hamstring) will miss a 10th consecutive game on Friday versus Miami. The team has once again downgraded him to out after initially listing him as doubtful on the injury report with a right hamstring strain. With Toumani Camara (ribs) also absent on Friday, we should see a lot of Kris Murray and Jabari Walker. The young forwards tend to blow hot and cold and will be in a tricky matchup on Friday against a good defensive team, so fantasy managers should look at other options. |

Fri Mar 29 | 09:57 | Alec Burks Questionable On Friday | Alec Burks | SG | Jazz | Free Agent |
New York Knicks guard Alec Burks (shoulder) is dealing with a sprained right shoulder and has received a questionable tag ahead of the Friday night game against the San Antonio Spurs. The veteran combo guard has been absent for the last two games and has also seen a very inconsistent role since re-joining the Knicks. His playing time seems to be both matchup-based and based on injuries. That hasn't been a bad thing for the team, but can make fantasy managers' lives difficult when trying to judge a streaming option decision. If he does play, he's not likely to receive as many minutes since most of the rotation is healthy minus OG Anunoby (elbow) and Julius Randle (shoulder). |

Thu Mar 28 | 21:43 | Jerami Grant Considered Doubtful For Friday | Jerami Grant | SF | 76ers | Free Agent |
Portland Trail Blazers forward Jerami Grant (hamstring) is listed as doubtful for Friday's game against the Miami Heat due to a right hamstring strain. He sat out the previous nine games, and it sounds like he is trending toward missing another one. There is uncertainty as to when Grant will return to the court. But with Portland well out of the playoff picture, there is no need for him to be rushed back into action. The Trail Blazers frontcourt could be shorthanded for Friday's game, which will likely force Jabari Walker to take on more responsibility. |

Wed Mar 27 | 21:22 | Aaron Gordon Cleared To Face Phoenix | Aaron Gordon | PF | Magic | Free Agent |
Denver Nuggets forward Aaron Gordon (foot) will play on Thursday against Phoenix. He's been battling a right plantar fascia strain for at least a few games. However, the 28-year-old finally sat out, missing Monday's win over the Memphis Grizzlies. Christian Braun got the start and played exceptionally well, finishing with 17 points off 8-for-10 shooting from the field. But with Gordon back in the lineup, Braun's fantasy ceiling will come crashing down. |

Wed Mar 27 | 20:48 | Joel Embiid To Return Soon? | Joel Embiid | C | 76ers | Free Agent |
According to ESPN's Adrian Wojnarowski, Philadelphia 76ers center Joel Embiid (knee) might return before the end of the regular season. Wojnarowski stated that it's not a matter of "if" but "when," while adding the team hopes to get him back with at least a few games left before the postseason begins. The 30-year-old averaged a career-high 35.3 points with 11.3 rebounds, 5.7 assists, and 1.8 blocks before going down with a knee injury at the end of January. Of course, it could take him a few games to get back up to speed. However, Embiid's presence will immediately mean less work for Mo Bamba and Paul Reed, who have seen an uptick in production while the reigning MVP has been sidelined. |

Wed Mar 27 | 19:32 | Alec Burks Remains Out On Wednesday | Alec Burks | SG | Jazz | Free Agent |
New York Knicks guard/forward Alec Burks (shoulder) will miss a second consecutive game on Wednesday versus Toronto. There was initially hope of him returning when the team listed him as questionable for the game, but Burks has now been downgraded to out. Burks' absence leaves the Knicks without a good scoring option off the bench. He's averaged around 15 minutes a night in the Big Apple, and Bojan Bogdanovic will have a chance to get some extra action off the Knicks bench without Burks. |

Portland Trail Blazers forward Jerami Grant (hamstring) will sit out a ninth consecutive game on Wednesday against the Hawks. He continues to recover from a hamstring strain, and it doesn't look like Grant is close to returning. Jabari Walker, Kris Murray, and Toumani Camara all have opportunities to fill bigger roles with Grant out. The three have played well, but all have issues with inconsistency, which makes it hard to trust them on a nightly basis in fantasy basketball. |

Mon Mar 25 | 20:19 | Aaron Gordon Sitting Out Versus The Grizzlies | Aaron Gordon | PF | Magic | Free Agent |
Denver Nuggets forward Aaron Gordon (foot) won't play on Monday against Memphis. The veteran had a 22-point, 12-rebound double-double with three blocks in Saturday's win over the Portland Trail Blazers. Unfortunately, he popped up on the injury report late on Monday because of a right Plantar Fascia strain. There hasn't been anything to suggest the injury will keep him out beyond Monday night, meaning he could be back for Wednesday's showdown with the Suns. But as fas as the meeting with Memphis is concerned, Peyton Watson, averaging 11.8 points, 1.5 blocks, and 1.0 steals in four starts this year, should fill the void in the lineup. |

Mon Mar 25 | 16:11 | Aaron Gordon Added To Injury Report | Aaron Gordon | PF | Magic | Free Agent |
Denver Nuggets forward Aaron Gordon (foot) is questionable for Monday's game against the Memphis Grizzlies. Nursing a right plantar fascia strain, Gordon is a late addition to the injury report. With four Denver starters listed as questionable, there could be plenty of vacated usage on Monday. The 28-year-old playmaking forward has been a top-100 player in points leagues across his latest seven appearances, averaging 14.1 points on 55.7% shooting from the floor, 6.9 boards, and 4.4 assists during 32.5 minutes. There likely wouldn't be a clear fantasy beneficiary of Gordon's absence, but Christian Braun and Peyton Watson would be in line for an uptick in playing time at power forward. The 24-47 Grizzlies pose an unimposing matchup for the defending champions, but it's too early to determine at this juncture how the rotation might shape up for the Western Conference-leading Nuggets. |

Sun Mar 24 | 21:32 | Jerami Grant Expected To Be Sidelined On Monday | Jerami Grant | SF | 76ers | Free Agent |
Portland Trail Blazers forward Jerami Grant (hamstring) has been listed as doubtful again for Monday night. He continues to deal with a strained hamstring which has caused him to miss seven games so far. There remains no reason to rush him back to the floor since the Blazers are looking to get another top pick in next year's NBA Draft, so they'll likely err on the side of caution for the rest of the season. The Blazers' rotation hasn't been set in stone for most of the year after a lot of injury issues, but it looks like Kris Murray and Toumani Camara will be the biggest benefactors while Grant misses more time. |

Portland Trail Blazers forward Jerami Grant (hamstring) has been downgraded to out ahead of Saturday's game against the Denver Nuggets. This isn't shocking as Grant has already missed multiple games due to this hamstring issue. Given the Blazers place in the standings, it's unlikely that they will rush Grant back on the court. Toumani Camara should continue seeing more minutes in the rotation. He finished with 11 points and seven rebounds in 32 minutes during their last game. He'll hold some deep league streaming value for Saturday's slate. |
