Dejounte Murray • SG • Pelicans

Dejounte Murray Uncertain for Sunday

New Orleans Pelicans guard Dejounte Murray (hand) has been tagged as questionable ahead of Sunday's meeting with the Houston Rockets. Murray was unavailable on Friday against Toronto when the Pelicans wrapped up a back-to-back and might now miss another game. He has a left-hand contusion. Trey Murphy III (ankle) is also questionable for Sunday night, so Jeremiah Fears and Yves Missi may remain part of the first unit. As a result of Murray's departure from the lineup, there was also a Jordan Poole sighting in Friday's game. After a 12-point, six-assist effort, Poole might have earned an opportunity to be part of the rotation again on Sunday.

Jerami Grant Won't Play Against Wizards

Portland Trail Blazers forward Jerami Grant (calf) won't play on Sunday against the Washington Wizards. He injured his right calf in Friday's loss to Dallas and might be out for several games. Sidy Cissoko could rejoin the starting lineup on Sunday, while Matisse Thybulle and Kris Murray are also candidates for increased roles. Still, even as a starter, Cissoko hasn't been productive enough to make a difference in fantasy leagues, averaging 7.3 points, 3.0 rebounds, and 1.4 assists in the first unit this season.

Pascal Siakam Iffy for Sunday

Indiana Pacers forward Pascal Siakam (knee) is questionable for Sunday's tilt against the Miami Heat. After appearing in four consecutive games, Siakam might take Sunday off to manage his right knee injury. Center Jay Huff is the only starter not listed as questionable for Sunday's game, meaning we could again see a lot of Kobe Brown, Jalen Slawson, and Quenton Jackson. Slawson is a compelling player capable of influencing all parts of the game if given enough minutes.

Chet Holmgren • C • Thunder

Chet Holmgren Available Against Knicks Sunday

Oklahoma City Thunder forward/center Chet Holmgren will suit up on Sunday against the New York Knicks. The talented big man missed Friday's win over Chicago, but the Thunder haven't included Holmgren on the injury report ahead of Sunday's game. Filling in for Holmgren in the starting lineup, Cason Wallace had a wonderful performance on Friday night, but he will likely be back in the second unit against the Knicks. Holmgren erupted for 28 points against the Knicks earlier this month when the teams met at Madison Square Garden.

Norman Powell • SG • Heat

Norman Powell May Miss Sunday's Game

Miami Heat guard/forward Norman Powell (back) is considered questionable for Sunday's matchup with the Indiana Pacers. He's dealing with back spasms and could exit the lineup after a 15-point effort in Friday's loss to Cleveland. Health issues have limited Powell to just six appearances in March. If he has to miss time again, Pelle Larsson is the prime candidate to fill in for Powell in the starting unit. While Larsson can also be impactful off the bench, his numbers clearly improve in the first unit. Across 35 starts this season, the 25-year-old has averaged 12.6 points, 3.8 rebounds, and 3.9 assists.

Jaylen Brown • SG • Celtics

Jaylen Brown Questionable Sunday

Boston Celtics guard/forward Jaylen Brown (Achilles) is listed as questionable for Sunday's game against the Charlotte Hornets. He may be sidelined for a second consecutive contest due to left Achilles tendinitis. Brown was labeled day-to-day on Friday, but the team must be careful with his workload, as the Celtics will start a back-to-back on Sunday and are scheduled to play three times in four nights. Jayson Tatum (Achilles) and Derrick White (knee) are also questionable, so Boston's reserves could have a larger say in Sunday's contest.

Kevin Porter Jr. • PG • Bucks

Kevin Porter Jr. Unlikely to Return This Season

Milwaukee Bucks point guard Kevin Porter Jr. (knee) has likely played his last game of the 2025-26 season. According to The Athletic's Eric Nehm, Bucks head coach Doc Rivers said before Saturday's clash against San Antonio that he would be "surprised" if Porter Jr. plays again this season. Porter Jr. sat out a fifth consecutive game due to right knee synovitis. San Antonio handed the Bucks their 44th defeat of the season, eliminating them from playoff contention, so it wouldn't make sense for the team to rush Porter Jr. back. Ryan Rollins has more fantasy value due to Porter Jr.'s absence, while Gary Trent Jr. also benefits.

Alexandre Sarr • PF • Wizards

Alexandre Sarr Out Sunday vs. Trail Blazers

Washington Wizards center Alexandre Sarr (toe) will not play Sunday against Portland as the second-year big man gets injury management on the first leg of a back-to-back. His absence could open short-term opportunities for Tristan Vukcevic and Anthony Gill in deeper formats. Gill logged 14 points, three assists, two steals, and one block in 25 minutes his last time out, while Vukcevic has flashed scoring upside in prior spot starts. Julian Reese remains a risky option due to his two-way status.

Neemias Queta • C • Celtics

Neemias Queta Questionable for Sunday

Boston Celtics forward/center Neemias Queta (thumb) is questionable for Sunday's game against Charlotte as he continues to deal with a right thumb sprain he has recently played through. If he is unable to go, Luka Garza could step into a larger role after posting 11 points, four rebounds, and two assists in 15 minutes off the bench Friday, giving him some deep-league streaming appeal for rebounds and efficient scoring. Payton Pritchard and Sam Hauser could also see more consistent minutes and opportunities with the second unit.

Jayson Tatum • SF • Celtics

Jayson Tatum Could Rest on Back-to-Back

Boston Celtics forward Jayson Tatum (Achilles) is questionable for Sunday's game against Charlotte and could sit for maintenance on the first night of a back-to-back. If he rests, Payton Pritchard would again profile as a strong DFS target after logging 35 minutes with 36 points, six three-pointers, seven rebounds, and four assists Friday, while Sam Hauser and Baylor Scheierman could see expanded scoring roles. Jaylen Brown (Achilles) and Derrick White also (knee) carry injury tags, which could further thin the rotation.

Derrick White • SG • Celtics

Derrick White Could Miss Hornets Game

Boston Celtics guard Derrick White (knee) is questionable for Sunday's game against Charlotte after managing a right knee contusion that has recently appeared on the injury report. If he is held out, Pritchard would likely take on more ballhandling duties after finishing with 36 points, six three-pointers, seven rebounds, and four assists in his last outing, reinforcing his value as a strong DFS and daily-lineup option. Jayson Tatum (Achilles) and Jaylen Brown (Achilles) could also see slight usage bumps if available.

Immanuel Quickley • PG • Raptors

Immanuel Quickley Remains Sidelined vs. Magic

Toronto Raptors guard Immanuel Quickley (foot) will remain sidelined Sunday against Orlando due to plantar fasciitis, extending his recent absence and keeping the backcourt rotation thin. Jamal Shead should continue to see streaming appeal after posting eight assists and two steals in 25 minutes Friday, while Ja'Kobe Walter could also maintain a steady role. Scottie Barnes and RJ Barrett may absorb more playmaking duties. With the regular season nearly over, Quickley can be held if you have IL flexibility, but managers in tighter playoff matchups may need to look elsewhere. Shead profiles as a short-term assist streamer while Quickley remains out.

Brandon Ingram • SF • Raptors

Brandon Ingram Questionable Against Orlando

Toronto Raptors guard/forward Brandon Ingram (heel) is questionable for Sunday's game against Orlando as he continues to manage a lingering foot concern. If he sits, Ja'Kobe Walter and Jamal Shead could be worth a look as deep-league streamers after both saw increased roles recently. Walter logged 18 points, four three-pointers, four assists, and one rebound in 34 minutes Friday, while Shead produced eight assists and two steals in 25 minutes off the bench. Scottie Barnes and RJ Barrett would also be positioned for more offensive responsibility.

Luka Dončić • PG • Lakers

Luka Doncic to Serve One-Game Suspension Monday

Los Angeles Lakers guard Luka Doncic (suspension) will miss Monday's game against Washington after drawing his 16th technical foul, triggering an automatic one-game ban. His absence should funnel more usage to Austin Reaves, who posted 26 points, eight rebounds, five assists, and four three-pointers in 40 minutes during Friday's win, making him a strong DFS and category-league play. Luke Kennard and Jake LaRavia could see deeper-league streaming appeal if Marcus Smart (ankle) sits. LeBron James also gets a slight playmaking bump. Doncic remains a must-hold elite option and should return Tuesday.

Walter Clayton Jr. • PG • Grizzlies

Walter Clayton Jr. is Available for Saturday's Game

Memphis Grizzlies guard Walter Clayton Jr. (ankle) is available to play ahead of Saturday's game against the Chicago Bulls. Clayton will shed the questionable tag and suit up for the second leg of this back-to-back set. The rookie guard should continue playing a larger role in the rotation with Ty Jerome (ankle) and Cam Spencer (back) still sidelined. Over the last seven games, Clayton is averaging 9.1 points, 2.3 rebounds, and 4.0 assists across 23.9 minutes per game. Clayton is playing well enough right now to warrant a look in deep leagues right now.

Jahmai Mashack • SF • Grizzlies

Jahmai Mashack is Returning on Saturday

Memphis Grizzlies guard Jahmai Mashack (ankle, nose) is returning to the court ahead of Saturday's game against the Chicago Bulls. Mashack is back following a six-game absence due to a left ankle sprain and nasal fracture. Before the injury, Mashack was actually playing significant minutes in the rotation. It's unclear if that will remain the case with the Grizzlies getting healthy at the guard spot. There's some deep league value here, but Mashack remains far from a must-add fantasy player.

Guerschon Yabusele • PF • Bulls

Guerschon Yabusele is Absent on Saturday

Chicago Bulls forward Guerschon Yabusele (ankle) has been ruled out ahead of Saturday's game against the Memphis Grizzlies. Yabusele drew the start on Friday with Nick Richards (elbow) unavailable. Now, both big men are sitting out for Saturday's contest, which puts the Bulls in a bad spot. Possibly, Lachlan Olbrich draws the start, but Patrick Williams and Leonard Miller should absorb most of the extra playing time. Miller is bringing enough to the table right now to warrant a look as a streaming option on Saturday.

Malik Monk • SG • Kings

Malik Monk Moves into Starting Five on Saturday

Sacramento Kings guard Malik Monk will move into the starting five ahead of Saturday's game against the Atlanta Hawks. Fellow guard Nique Clifford (foot) is available following a two-game absence. However, the Kings have elected to ease him back into action and start Monk on Saturday. Possibly, Clifford is going to be limited, but the team hasn't said anything about a minutes limit. Monk should play his normal role in the rotation on Saturday. This season, Monk is averaging 12.7 points, 1.9 rebounds, and 3.0 assists across 22.3 minutes per game. The veteran guard has played 30 minutes or more over the last three games, but could see a reduced role with Clifford back in the mix. Regardless, Monk is worth starting in most 12-team fantasy leagues.

Jonathan Kuminga • PF • Hawks

Jonathan Kuminga to Sit Out on Saturday

Atlanta Hawks forward Jonathan Kuminga (knee) has been ruled out ahead of Saturday's game against the Sacramento Kings. Unsurprisingly, Kuminga will take a seat in the second leg of this back-to-back set while he continues to deal with lingering knee issues. The Hawks are also without Dyson Daniels (toe) on Saturday, so the depth of this team is going to be tested. Without them available, Corey Kispert and Zaccharie Risacher will be asked to take on larger roles. Neither player has great streaming value, but Risacher could be worth a look as a low-end option with big minutes likely coming his way on Saturday.

Onyeka Okongwu • C • Hawks

Onyeka Okongwu Won't Play on Saturday

Atlanta Hawks center Onyeka Okongwu (finger) has been ruled out ahead of Saturday's game against the Sacramento Kings. The big man appears to have suffered a finger injury that will keep him sidelined for this game. Luckily, fellow big man Jock Landale (shoulder) is back in the mix following a one-game absence. Landale should move into the starting five and have increased fantasy value on Saturday. Mouhamed Gueye should take over as the primary backup, but Landale is the better fantasy choice between the two. Fantasy managers should check back on Monday for another update on Okongwu ahead of their game against the Boston Celtics.
