Dallas Mavericks forward
Khris Middleton (illness) won't suit up on Friday against the Portland Trail Blazers. He was a very late addition to the injury report due to illness. After a couple of big performances early in his Mavericks career, Middleton has posted fairly underwhelming averages of 11.2 points, 3.5 rebounds, and 2.5 assists in 22.3 minutes with the team. Fellow veteran
Klay Thompson may log more action on Friday due to his absence.

Washington Wizards guard/forward
Tre Johnson (foot) is available on Friday against the Golden State Warriors. He will return to action after missing three games due to a right foot sprain. Johnson has been quiet this month, posting 11.2 points per game. He has struggled to score efficiently, making only 34.5 percent of his field-goal attempts. Golden State ranks just outside the top 10 in defensive efficiency and limited Johnson to 13 points last week in a 125-117 road win.
Leaky Black and
Jaden Hardy lose fantasy value with Johnson's return.

Indiana Pacers forward
Jarace Walker (concussion) has been ruled out for the remainder of Friday's tilt against the Los Angeles Clippers. He sustained a head injury in the first quarter and is being evaluated for a concussion.
Kobe Brown started the second half in Walker's place.
Obi Toppin may get more usage as well due to his absence. The two are also likely going to be more involved in Sunday's game against Miami if Walker has to miss time.

Washington Wizards forward/center
Tristan Vukcevic (back) will play in Friday's contest against the Golden State Warriors. He missed Wednesday's win over Utah due to a back problem. It wasn't initially clear whether Vukcevic could play on Friday, as he was listed as questionable on the original injury report. With
Alexandre Sarr (toe) also available,
Julian Reese could fall out of the rotation despite posting a massive 26-point, 17-rebound double-double on Wednesday night.

March 27, 2026
Washington Wizards center
Alexandre Sarr (toe) will be back in the lineup on Friday against the Golden State Warriors. The French big man has missed two games due to a toe issue. Sarr has been disappointing during the second half of the season, averaging 11.8 points, 4.5 rebounds, 2.0 assists, and 2.0 blocks since the All-Star break. Still, he could find some joy on Friday night against a Warriors frontcourt that will be without
Al Horford (calf) and
Quinten Post (foot).

Detroit Pistons guard/forward
Ausar Thompson (ankle) is questionable for Saturday's game against Minnesota after recently managing a sprain that already cost him multiple games this month. If he sits,
Kevin Huerter and
Ron Holland II could see expanded roles. Huerter is the more appealing fantasy option after posting 22 points, four three-pointers, and one steal in 34 minutes in his last start. Holland contributed seven rebounds and four assists in 19 minutes and is more of a deep-league option.
Javonte Green could also see situational minutes if Detroit remains shorthanded.

March 27, 2026
Washington Wizards guard/forward
Bilal Coulibaly (heel) will play on Friday against the Golden State Warriors. He has received the clearance to play after the team listed Coulibaly as questionable on the initial injury report. Coulibaly has been hot from downtown this month, averaging 15.3 points, 4.4 rebounds, 2.9 assists, and 1.4 steals with 40.4 percent three-point efficiency. Last week, he finished a 125-117 loss to the Warriors with 21 points, eight rebounds, four assists, and one steal, hitting both of his attempts from outside.

March 27, 2026
Detroit Pistons forward
Tobias Harris (hip) is questionable for Saturday's game against Minnesota after continuing to manage lingering soreness. If the veteran forward sits,
Ron Holland II and
Javonte Green could see expanded roles. Holland posted two points, seven rebounds, and four assists in 19 minutes last game and offers some deep-league rebounding appeal. Green chipped in eight points, two three-pointers, and one steal in 20 minutes but remains a fringe, risky option for managers chasing threes. Harris is worth holding if active.

Golden State Warriors point guard
Stephen Curry (knee) will miss at least two more games, ESPN's Anthony Slater and Shams Charania report. He isn't ready to make his comeback on Friday night against Washington and will also miss Sunday's matchup with the Denver Nuggets. Curry will be re-evaluated next week. Until the former MVP returns to the lineup,
Brandin Podziemski and
Gui Santos will lead the Warriors' offense. His absence has also led to increased playing time for
Pat Spencer,
Gary Payton II, and
Will Richard.

March 27, 2026
Brooklyn Nets forward/center
Noah Clowney (wrist) will be active on Friday against the Los Angeles Lakers. A wrist issue has kept Clowney sidelined for four games, but the team has upgraded his status from probable to available.
Ziaire Williams has had a good stint as a starter during Clowney's absence, but he may find himself back in the second unit on Friday night, which would be a big blow for his fantasy prospects. Clowney's form has faded late in the season, with his average numbers dropping to 10.2 points and 4.0 rebounds this month.
--Taavi PailkSource: NBA Injury Report
March 27, 2026
Detroit Pistons center
Jalen Duren (knee) is questionable for Saturday's game against Minnesota after playing through injury tags in recent outings. If he sits,
Paul Reed could move into the starting lineup with
Isaiah Stewart (calf) still out. Reed had eight points, three rebounds, and one steal in 14 minutes Thursday and would be a deep league streamer if Duren sits.
Tobias Harris (hip) and
Ausar Thompson (ankle) could also benefit if cleared, with both currently carrying injury tags.

March 27, 2026
Utah Jazz forward/center
Kyle Filipowski (illness) is ready to face
Nikola Jokic and the Denver Nuggets on Friday night. He wasn't available on Wednesday against Washington due to illness and was initially listed as probable for Friday's tilt. Filipowski has enjoyed a much larger role late in the season, but his recent performances have been inconsistent. He will face a tough challenge against Jokic on both ends of the floor. Filipowski has averaged 12.0 points, 5.0 rebounds, and 3.5 assists in matchups with the Nuggets this season.
--Taavi PailkSource: NBA Injury Report
March 27, 2026
Los Angeles Lakers forward
Rui Hachimura (calf) will rejoin the action Friday against the Brooklyn Nets. The Lakers will have the Japanese forward back in the lineup after he missed two games due to right calf injury management. Hachimura's productivity and playing time have noticeably declined since the All-Star break, as he's averaged 8.2 points and 2.3 rebounds in 24.7 minutes per game.
Jake LaRavia has seen more time on the floor in the last couple of games and will likely have a lighter workload with Hachimura back in the fold.

March 27, 2026
Philadelphia 76ers guard
Tyrese Maxey (finger) is questionable for Saturday's game against Charlotte after progressing faster than initially expected from a March injury. If cleared, he would likely reclaim a starting role, which would push
Quentin Grimes back to the bench and cut into
Cameron Payne's minutes. Grimes posted 13 points, six rebounds, five assists, three steals, and three blocks in 31 minutes last game and remains a short-term hold if Maxey sits. Maxey carries some risk of a minutes cap if active, but he should be started in most formats if cleared.
--Brian DailisanSource: NBA Injury Report
March 27, 2026
Memphis Grizzlies guard
Jahmai Mashack (ankle, nose) has been ruled out for Friday's matchup with the Houston Rockets. The 23-year-old is currently banged up, dealing with an ankle sprain and a fractured nose. He will miss a sixth consecutive game after the team initially listed Mashack as doubtful.
Ty Jerome (ankle) also won't play on Friday, so
Javon Small,
Walter Clayton Jr., and
Cam Spencer should see more action in the Grizzlies' backcourt.
