Sun Mar 2422:16Alex Caruso Probable MondayAlex CarusoPGLakersFree Agent
Chicago Bulls guard Alex Caruso (ankle) is expected to play against the Wizards on Monday. Although his name has been added to the injury report due to a previous lower leg injury, it is unlikely that he will miss any playing time. The Bulls will likely confirm his availability closer to the start of the game. On Saturday versus the Celtics, the 30-year-old posted 14 points, three rebounds, three assists and one steal in a 124-113 loss.

Sun Mar 2422:10Anfernee Simons May Miss Another Game MondayAnfernee SimonsSGTrailblazersFree Agent
Portland Trail Blazers guard Anfernee Simons (knee) has received a questionable tag against the Houston Rockets for their Monday night contest. Simons was forced to miss the team's last game against the Denver Nuggets due to tendinitis in his left knee. Now that he's questionable, this may leave the team to take the cautionary side and allow him to sit one more game to make sure he's healthy. The rotation has been a revolving door and the team is battling for a top pick in the next NBA Draft. Fantasy managers will want a backup plan and Scoot Henderson will likely be the one to receive the most playing time in Simons' absence.

Sun Mar 2421:28Deandre Ayton Questionable Against HoustonDeandre AytonPFSunsFree Agent
Portland Trail Blazers center Deandre Ayton (elbow) is questionable for Monday's matchup with Houston. He's missed Portland's previous two games with an elbow issue. However, Ayton has already sat out enough time this season, so fantasy managers are used to it by this point. With that said, if he isn't back in the lineup on Monday evening, Duop Reath, coming off a 24-point, eight-rebound, two-block outing on Saturday versus Denver, is worth streaming in any fantasy format.

Sun Mar 2421:00Derrick White Questionable Against HawksDerrick WhitePGSpursFree Agent
Boston Celtics guard Derrick White (hand) draws a questionable tag for their Monday night game against the Atlanta Hawks. This sprained hand hasn't forced him to miss a game yet, so the team will see how it feels the day of the game during shootaround. White has not only been a big part of the Celtics' success this season but he's been an amazing contributor to fantasy teams in all formats. If White is unable to play in this one, the Celtics could decide to either replace him with Payton Pritchard or they could go with a bigger lineup and throw Al Horford in at power forward next to Kristaps Porzingis. Either way, Pritchard has been a solid streaming option whenever given the minutes.

Sun Mar 2417:35OG Anunoby Still Out On MondayOG AnunobySFRaptorsFree Agent
New York Knicks forward OG Anunoby (elbow) won't play on Monday against the Pistons. He's listed as out for management purposes. However, Anunoby will now miss his fourth consecutive contest, so his next chance to return will be Wednesday in Toronto against his former team. In the meantime, Miles McBride, who had 26 points in 48 minutes in Saturday's win over Brooklyn, will continue to see a surge in DFS potential.

Sun Mar 2415:35Bam Adebayo Available On SundayBam AdebayoCHeatFree Agent
Miami Heat center Bam Adebayo (back) will play on Sunday against the Cavaliers. He wasn't available when these two clubs met on Wednesday because of back spasms. However, the 26-year-old returned after a one-game absence on Friday versus the New Orleans Pelicans, finishing with a 12-point, 10-rebound double-double with two blocks. With Duncan Robinson (back) and Tyler Herro (foot) still out, Adebayo should get a few extra looks at the basket. Unfortunately, Evan Mobley (ankle) could be back from a nine-game layoff, so his presence might lower Adebayo's fantasy ceiling.

Sun Mar 2415:09Norman Powell Back On SundayNorman PowellSGRaptorsFree Agent
Los Angeles Clippers guard Norman Powell (leg) will play on Sunday against Philly. He's been out for over a week because of a leg contusion. But the Clippers will get the Sixth Man of the Year frontrunner back versus the visiting Sixers. There's no mention of a minutes restriction for Powell, so he can be utilized with confidence in all fantasy formats. However, his return should mean less work for Amir Coffey and Brandon Boston Jr.

Sat Mar 2321:11Anfernee Simons To Undergo MRIAnfernee SimonsSGTrailblazersFree Agent
Portland Trail Blazers guard Anfernee Simons (knee) is scheduled to undergo an MRI this weekend, according to head coach Chauncey Billups. This news comes after Simons was forced to exit early during Friday's game against the Los Angeles Clippers. He'll sit out of Saturday's contest versus the Denver Nuggets. The assumption is that Simons will undergo the MRI on Sunday. The Blazers are likely going to be extremely cautious here with their young guard. Rayan Rupert will start in his place on Saturday, but he hasn't done anything with the extra minutes. Fantasy managers will have to check back on Sunday for another update on Simons.

Sat Mar 2320:55Deandre Ayton Remains Out On SaturdayDeandre AytonPFSunsFree Agent
Portland Trail Blazers center Deandre Ayton (elbow) has been ruled out ahead of Saturday's game against the Denver Nuggets. The big man continues to miss time due to a left elbow issue. The assumption is that Duop Reath will move into the starting five on Saturday. He finished with 13 points, three rebounds, and two steals in 27 minutes of action during their last game. He'll be worth a look as a streaming option until Ayton gets back on the court.

Sat Mar 2319:13Josh Okogie Makes His Comeback SaturdayJosh OkogieSGTimberwolvesFree Agent
Phoenix Suns guard/forward Josh Okogie (abdomen) will rejoin the action on Saturday against San Antonio. He last played on March 2, missing several weeks with a lower abdominal strain. Okogie's return is good news for the Suns, as it gives the team a versatile player to use in the rotation. However, he's been a non-factor in fantasy hoops due to his inability to hit shots all year. The 25-year-old has nailed only 29.7 percent of his three-pointers, averaging 4.9 points and 2.7 rebounds in 17.1 minutes.

Sat Mar 2319:03Alex Caruso Officially In On SaturdayAlex CarusoPGLakersFree Agent
Chicago Bulls guard Alex Caruso (ankle) will make a 12th consecutive appearance on Saturday against the Rockets, as the team has upgraded him from probable to available. Caruso's role on offense has taken a hit with Coby White's return, but he's on a nice four-game run with multiple steals and continues to provide value for fantasy managers in multiple areas. The 30-year-old has averaged 10.8 points, 3.8 rebounds, 4.5 assists, and 2.3 steals this month.

Sat Mar 2318:18Sasha Vezenkov Remains Sidelined SaturdaySasha VezenkovPFNetsFree Agent
Sacramento Kings forward Sasha Vezenkov (ankle) has been downgraded from questionable to out for Saturday's tilt against Orlando. The 28-year-old has been nursing an ankle injury for over a month but isn't still quite ready to make his comeback. His next opportunity to return comes on Monday versus Philadelphia. Vezenkov has only played a small part off the bench for the Kings and hasn't really been missed since his exit from the lineup. Saturday's outing promises to be a rough one for Sacramento's second unit, as Orlando is allowing the fewest bench points per game this season.

Sat Mar 2318:11Gary Harris Unavailable On SaturdayGary HarrisSGNuggetsFree Agent
Orlando Magic guard/forward Gary Harris (foot) won't play against Sacramento on Saturday. The veteran made an early exit on Thursday versus New Orleans and has been downgraded from a questionable status ahead of Saturday's action. Caleb Houstan will cover for him in the starting unit. The 21-year-old has received multiple opportunities as a starter in 2023-24 but has made very little impact from a stats point of view and should be ignored by fantasy managers. Harris, who's nursing a right plantar fascia strain, will get his first chance to return to the court on Wednesday versus Golden State.

Sat Mar 2317:56Deandre Ayton With Doubtful Tag SaturdayDeandre AytonPFSunsFree Agent
Portland Trail Blazers center Deandre Ayton (elbow) could miss a second consecutive game on Saturday against Denver after the team listed him as doubtful on the injury report. Ayton was a late addition to the injury report on Friday ahead of a meeting with the Clippers and couldn't go due to a left elbow problem. Duop Reath took over as the starting center and tallied 13 points with three rebounds and a pair of steals. He appears poised for another start on Saturday against a Nikola Jokic-less Nuggets if Ayton can't shake off his injury. The 27-year-old has recorded 13.7 points and 5.8 rebounds in 17 starts overall this season.

Sat Mar 2317:34Anfernee Simons Misses Saturday's GameAnfernee SimonsSGTrailblazersFree Agent
Portland Trail Blazers guard Anfernee Simons (knee) won't be in the lineup on Saturday against Denver. He was on the injury report with a left knee injury ahead of Friday's clash with the Clippers and ended up exiting the game early because of a knee ailment. Simons' absence will likely lift Dalano Banton back into the first unit. He's had quite a bit of success as a member of the starting five, averaging 18.8 points, 5.5 rebounds, and 3.6 assists in the role.

Sat Mar 2314:02Kristaps Porzingis Won't Suit Up Against ChicagoKristaps PorzingisPFKnicksFree Agent
Boston Celtics center Kristaps Porzingis (hamstring) won't play on Saturday night in Chicago. The veteran logged 26 minutes in Friday's massive win over the Pistons, finishing with 19 points. Yet, the C's have a firm grasp on the top spot in the Eastern Conference, so the team will start resting their stars to prepare for a deep postseason run. Al Horford (toe) is questionable. But if he is available, he'll likely become a coveted DFS commodity. On the other hand, if Horford is also ruled out, Luke Kornet and Xavier Tillman Sr. should handle most of the work underneath the basket. With that in mind, Kornet has a much higher fantasy ceiling.

Sat Mar 2313:20Gary Trent Jr. Likely To Return On Saturday NightGary TrentSGTrailblazersFree Agent
Toronto Raptors guard Gary Trent Jr. (back) is expected to suit up against the Wizards. He was a late addition to Friday's injury report and ultimately was ruled out heading into the Raptors' loss to Oklahoma City. Javon Freeman-Liberty moved into the starting lineup, with the rookie finishing with 10 points, the second double-digit scoring performance of his brief career. Once again, Toronto won't have RJ Barrett (personal) and Immanuel Quickley (personal), meaning Trent, averaging nearly 17 shot attempts in his previous eight appearances, should remain heavily involved, assuming he gets the green light. Unfortunately, Trent's anticipated return may limit the ceiling of Gradey Dick, who scored 21 points on Friday evening.

Sat Mar 2309:58Marvin Bagley III On Track To Return On SaturdayMarvin BagleyPFKingsFree Agent
Washington Wizards forward/center Marvin Bagley III (back) isn't on the injury report ahead of Saturday's contest against Toronto, suggesting he's available to return to the lineup. The 25-year-old has missed nine of the most recent games while dealing with a back problem. Bagley III has been Washington's starting center over the final stretch of the season, registering four double-doubles in his last nine appearances. His return is bad news for Richaun Holmes, who's set to be relegated to the bench. The comeback comes at a juicy spot, as Toronto is a bottom-tier rebounding team and allows centers to shoot over 58 percent from the field.

Fri Mar 2221:25Norman Powell Out FridayNorman PowellSGRaptorsFree Agent
Los Angeles Clippers guard/forward Norman Powell (leg) will miss Friday's game against the Portland Trail Blazers. Powell has missed the last two games, and his lower leg is still bothering him. With Powell out, the Clippers could turn to Amir Coffey, Bones Hyland, Brandon Boston, and Jordan Miller. Terance Mann (shoulder) will also be back in the lineup after missing one game due to a right shoulder strain.

Fri Mar 2220:52Deandre Ayton Unavailable For FridayDeandre AytonPFSunsFree Agent
Portland Trail Blazers center Deandre Ayton (elbow) has been ruled out ahead of Friday's game against the Los Angeles Clippers. The oft-injured big man will sit this one out as he continues to recover from left elbow tendinitis. His absence should mean that Duop Reath will move into the starting unit. As a starter, Reath is usually a viable streaming option. He doesn't offer great upside, but is worth a look with Ayton out of the picture.
