Wed Mar 2018:12Jrue Holiday Won't Play On WednesdayJrue HolidayPG76ersFree Agent
Boston Celtics guard Jrue Holiday (shoulder) will miss a second consecutive game on Wednesday against Milwaukee. The team has downgraded him from questionable to out. Payton Pritchard, who's coming off a pair of very strong games, looks set for a large role again in the rotation with Holiday unavailable, especially as Sam Hauser (ankle) also misses the game. Pritchard recently bagged his first double-double of the campaign and put up 23 points against Detroit on Monday.

Wed Mar 2018:01Jimmy Butler Cleared For Action WednesdayJimmy ButlerSFBullsFree Agent
Miami Heat forward Jimmy Butler (foot) will return to the lineup on Wednesday versus Cleveland. He will be back after missing two games with a foot contusion. We should see him take on a very large role, as Bam Adebayo (back) has been ruled out for the contest. Before getting hurt, Butler had upped his game and is averaging 21.3 points, 5.0 rebounds, and 5.3 assists for the month. However, Butler has struggled against the Cavaliers this season, posting only 13.0 points across 32.0 minutes across two previous meetings.

Wed Mar 2015:45Tobias Harris Participates In ShootaroundTobias HarrisSFBucksFree Agent
Philadelphia 76ers forward Tobias Harris (ankle), who is listed as questionable to play on Wednesday against the Phoenix Suns with a sprained right ankle, was seen at the morning shootaround. After missing Philly's past two matchups, Harris appears poised to return on Wednesday. His status could still come down to a game-time decision based on pregame warmups, though. While the 31-year-old star forward has struggled to shoot the ball since coming back from the All-Star break, he's still managing top-75 worth in nine-category leagues on averages of 14.8 points, 7.0 rebounds, 2.3 assists, 1.3 three-pointers, and 2.0 combined steals and blocks through this 12-game span. Harris' return would likely supplant Nicolas Batum from the Sixers' starting lineup, but it's a difficult assignment against a Suns club allowing the seventh-fewest DraftKings points per game to opposing power forwards.

Wed Mar 2015:21Jimmy Butler Spotted At ShootaroundJimmy ButlerSFBullsFree Agent
Miami Heat forward Jimmy Butler (foot) was seen putting up shots after Wednesday's morning shootaround. Butler remains formally listed as questionable for Wednesday's game against the Cleveland Cavaliers due to a right foot contusion that has sidelined him for Miami's past two contests, but he appears to be on the right track to return with this news. The 34-year-old six-time All-Star is providing third-round value in 12-team nine-category leagues since returning the All-Star break, averaging 21.5 points on 50.0% shooting from the field, 5.5 rebounds, 5.5 assists, and 1.6 steals over his last 10 appearances. This clash figures to be a slow-paced defensive slugfest, with Cleveland ranking first in the East in defensive efficiency rating (108.5), but Butler might have a lot of usage on his plate with Tyler Herro (foot) inactive and Bam Adebayo (back) questionable.

Wed Mar 2009:30Kevin Love Remains Out On WednesdayKevin LovePFTimberwolvesFree Agent
Miami Heat forward/center Kevin Love (heel) won't be able to entertain his former fans, as the team has ruled him out for Wednesday's matchup against Cleveland. The veteran has yet to suit up this month and misses an 11th consecutive game with a bruised heel. Love's absence has given Thomas Bryant a boost, as he's been back in the rotation, even posting a pair of double-digit scoring games recently. However, Bryant sees very little action behind starting center Bam Adebayo, and fantasy managers can't really count on him to do the business on a nightly basis. Even Adebayo might struggle on Wednesday versus a team that allows the fourth-fewest points in the league to opposing centers.

Wed Mar 2008:26Tobias Harris Questionable For Wednesday's ActionTobias HarrisSFBucksFree Agent
Philadelphia 76ers forward Tobias Harris (ankle) is considered questionable to play against the Suns on Wednesday. He's in danger of missing a third consecutive game with a right ankle sprain. Nicolas Batum should log another start if Harris can't return. The French veteran has posted 5.7 points, 4.3 rebounds, and 2.3 assists as a member of the first unit this season. He could do a bit more damage offensively against Phoenix, as the matchup is projected to be one of the highest-scoring games on Wednesday's slate.

Tue Mar 1922:51Jrue Holiday Questionable Against MilwaukeeJrue HolidayPG76ersFree Agent
Boston Celtics guard Jrue Holiday (shoulder) is questionable for Wednesday's game against Milwaukee. It will be a battle between the top two teams in the Eastern Conference. However, both clubs could be without some of their top performers. Holiday wasn't available for Sunday's win over the Detroit Pistons because of an AC joint sprain. But with Jaylen Brown (ankle) and Sam Hauser (ankle) questionable, the Celtics may rely mainly on Jayson Tatum, Kristaps Porzingis, and Derrick White for production. Payton Pritchard, coming off a 23-point performance on Sunday, would also be an ideal streaming option if Brown, Holiday, or Hauser don't suit up.

Tue Mar 1922:33Jimmy Butler Could Miss Another GameJimmy ButlerSFBullsFree Agent
Miami Heat forward Jimmy Butler (foot) is questionable heading into Wednesday's meeting with the Cleveland Cavaliers. The 34-year-old has missed the Heat's previous two games with a right foot bruise. However, he's already missed 21 games during the 2023-24 campaign, so fantasy managers wouldn't be shocked if he doesn't suit up on Wednesday evening. With Tyler Herro (foot) and Duncan Robinson (back) ruled out, Miami needs Butler back in the lineup, considering the team has lost six of their last 10 games. At any rate, Bam Adebayo and Terry Rozier are already must-start fantasy options. Yet, Jaime Jaquez Jr. and Caleb Martin would earn the same label if Butler stays sidelined.

Tue Mar 1921:05Jimmy Butler Questionable For WednesdayJimmy ButlerSFBullsFree Agent
Miami Heat forward Jimmy Butler (foot) is questionable for Wednesday's game against the Cleveland Cavaliers. The Heat star is in danger of missing three consecutive contests with a foot contusion. If Butler is out, Jaime Jaquez Jr.'s fantasy value will go up. On Monday, he was on the court for 35 minutes against the 76ers, where he registered nine points, nine rebounds, four assists and one steal.

Tue Mar 1920:31Taj Gibson Questionable Wednesday Against IndianaTaj GibsonPFBullsFree Agent
Detroit Pistons Forward Taj Gibson (hamstring) is questionable for Wednesday's contest with the Indiana Pacers. He was recently brought in on a 10-day contract after playing with the Knicks on the same agreement earlier in the season. Most recently, on Monday, he posted just three points, two rebounds, and one steal in 11 minutes on the court. Should the 38-year-old suit up Wednesday, fantasy managers shouldn't consider him to bolster their lineup.

Mon Mar 1818:42Kevin Love Misses 10th Consecutive GameKevin LovePFTimberwolvesFree Agent
Miami Heat forward/center Kevin Love (heel) will see his absence stretch to 10 games on Monday against Philadelphia. The veteran is battling a right heel bruise. Thomas Bryant has crept into the rotation lately, but Love's injury means a lot of Bam Adebayo on the Heat frontcourt. Nikola Jovic and Haywood Highsmith have also played larger roles during his absence. With Jovic also out, Highsmith gets a chance to play a very significant role in the rotation, but he flunked as a starter on Sunday versus Detroit, and things won't be any easier for him on Monday in a tougher matchup.

Mon Mar 1818:32Jimmy Butler Ruled Out MondayJimmy ButlerSFBullsFree Agent
Miami Heat forward Jimmy Butler (foot) has been downgraded from questionable to out for Monday's matchup against Philadelphia. The Heat star sits out a second consecutive contest with a foot contusion. Butler's absence boosts the fantasy value of Jaime Jaquez Jr., who moved to the starting unit on Sunday versus Detroit. Meanwhile, it also secures extra offensive usage for Bam Adebayo, Terry Rozier, and Duncan Robinson, who's just posted a big 30-point game.

Mon Mar 1816:07Kristaps Porzingis Probable, Al Horford Out MondayAl HorfordCHawksFree Agent
Kristaps PorzingisFree Agent
Boston Celtics center Kristaps Porzingis (hamstring) is probable for Monday's game versus the Detroit Pistons, but Al Horford (toe) will be unavailable. Porzingis is expected to return from a five-game absence due to a strained right hamstring, while Horford will hit the seats with a sprained left big toe after pitching in 14 points during 23 minutes in Sunday's beatdown of the Washington Wizards. Horford doesn't play both parts of back-to-backs, so he should be good to go for Wednesday's duel with the Milwaukee Bucks. With the veteran sidelined, Porzingis could be thrust into big minutes at the five for the Celts in a favorable situation against a Detroit group that's allowing the third-most FanDuel points to opposing centers. The Latvian All-Star was on an heater before going down, averaging 23.3 points, 8.6 boards, 2.8 triples on 46.7% shooting from deep, and 1.4 swats in 31.9 minutes over his past five games.

Mon Mar 1815:51Tobias Harris Misses Monday’s ShootaroundTobias HarrisSFBucksFree Agent
Philadelphia 76ers forward Tobias Harris (ankle) did not participate in shootaround on Monday morning. After missing Saturday's victory over the visiting Charlotte Hornets and Sunday's practice due to a sprained right ankle, Harris remains very much in danger of missing Monday's meeting with the Miami Heat. The versatile star forward appears to be closer to doubtful than questionable. If Harris is ultimately ruled out on Monday, veteran Nicolas Batum should stay in Philly's starting lineup. Covering four games for the Sixers without Harris in 2023-24, Batum is averaging 5.0 points, 4.8 rebounds, 2.8 assists, 2.7 combined steals plus blocks, and 1.0 triples and would only be a low-end fantasy streamer against a Heat team surrendering the fourth-fewest DraftKings points to opposing power forwards.

Mon Mar 1815:47Jimmy Butler Questionable With Foot ContusionJimmy ButlerSFBullsFree Agent
Miami Heat forward Jimmy Butler (foot) is questionable for Monday's game against the Philadelphia 76ers. A right foot contusion cost Butler the front end of Miami's back-to-back in Sunday's narrow win over the Detroit Pistons, and the two-way superstar forward's status remains up in the air on Monday. Since Tyler Herro (foot) is out of action, the Heat offense would run through Bam Adebayo and Terry Rozier if Butler can't go against the Sixers. First-round rookie Jaime Jaquez Jr. has been the definitive fantasy beneficiary of Butler's absences this season, averaging 15.9 points, 4.6 rebounds, 3.0 assists, 1.2 steals, and 0.9 treys through 20 games without Butler, but the 208.5-point over/under implies this is unlikely to be a high-scoring affair.

Mon Mar 1815:22Jrue Holiday Sitting Against PistonsJrue HolidayPG76ersFree Agent
The Boston Celtics have ruled out guard Jrue Holiday (shoulder) for Monday's contest versus the Detroit Pistons. Dealing with a right shoulder contusion in the aftermath of Sunday's blowout win over the Washington Wizards, Holiday will catch a breather on the second leg of Boston's back-to-back against the last-place Pistons. The two-way star guard should have a good chance at suiting up for Wednesday's clash between two Eastern Conference heavyweights and a revenge game against the Milwaukee Bucks. Derrick White has been a second-round player overall in nine-category fantasy leagues, and across six games without Holiday this year, he's averaging 16.8 points, 5.8 rebounds, 5.8 assists, 2.1 three-pointers, and 2.1 combined steals plus blocks and is in a smash spot against a Detroit team that's allowing the second-most FanDuel points per game to opposing point guards.

Mon Mar 1809:16LeBron James Continues To Carry A Questionable Tag MondayLeBron JamesSFHeatFree Agent
Los Angeles Lakers forward LeBron James (ankle) is once again considered questionable as the team prepares to face the Hawks on Monday night. James recently had to skip a game with a troublesome left ankle, but he's logged 38-plus minutes in all three games since returning, and the questionable designation tends to be more of a likely tag with him. The veteran superstar went off for a near 40-point triple-double on Saturday against the Warriors when Anthony Davis (eye) was limited to just 12 minutes. He's averaging 27.2 points, 8.2 rebounds, 9.5 assists, and 1.3 steals for the month. Performing well against a defensively challenged team like Atlanta shouldn't cause James any issues.

Sun Mar 1723:00Still No Timetable For Russell Westbrook's ReturnRussell WestbrookPGThunderFree Agent
Los Angeles Clippers guard Russell Westbrook (hand) underwent hand surgery back on March 4 and there was initial hope that he would return before the playoffs started. Head coach Tyronn Lue gave an update on Sunday and said Westbrook was "continuing to improve," but there was still no timetable for his return. The former MVP last played on March 1 before hurting his hand. Before that, he didn't miss a single game and since then, the Clippers have been an even 4-4 while he's watched from the sidelines. Westbrook most likely won't be back for the fantasy playoffs, but there's still a chance he's back before the NBA Playoffs kick off.

Sun Mar 1720:48James Harden Available Sunday Versus AtlantaJames HardenSGThunderFree Agent
Los Angeles Clippers guard James Harden (shoulder) is available for Sunday's tilt with the Atlanta Hawks. The 34-year-old has been dealing with a left shoulder strain and has missed the last two games. Before being injured, Harden averaged 17.8 points, 8.6 assists, and 5.4 rebounds in 36.0 minutes per game across five contests. Bones Hyland played 24 minutes on Friday against New Orleans. However, with Harden's return, Hyland will see his minutes reduced on Sunday.

Sun Mar 1717:35Tobias Harris Questionable For Monday's GameTobias HarrisSFBucksFree Agent
Philadelphia 76ers forward Tobias Harris (ankle) has been listed as questionable for Monday's matchup against Miami. Harris missed Saturday's game against Charlotte with a right ankle sprain and couldn't practice on Sunday. The questionable tag leaves his status up in the air, but it's looking likely Harris will miss a second consecutive game. Nicolas Batum notched eight points, eight rebounds, four assists, three steals, and two blocks as Harris' replacement in the starting five on Saturday. It was an outstanding line from the veteran, but fantasy managers shouldn't expect the same on Monday, as Philadelphia faces a much stronger team.
