Orlando Magic guard Cory Joseph will start in Friday's game against Minnesota. Jalen Suggs (knee) has already been out. However, with Cole Anthony (toe) and Kentavious Caldwell-Pope (rest) unavailable, Joseph will taking over at the one, with Tristan da Silva handling things at the shooting guard position. Joseph was with the first five in Thursday's loss to the Pelicans, finishing with 12 points, six boards, and three assists while shooting 50% from behind the arc. Although Franz Wagner and Paolo Banchero should remain the team's top scorers, managers can consider Joseph for DFS lineups.

Dallas Mavericks guardDante Exum(hamstring) will suit up against the Houston Rockets on Friday. Brad Townsend of The Dallas Morning News reports that Exum has been dealing with right hamstring tightness and will be restricted to 20-to-25 minutes for Friday's matchup. The 29-year-old is averaging 9.5 points, 1.8 rebounds and 2.9 assists in 19.8 minutes across 17 games. Exum could be a solid fantasy contributor once his minutes are increased moving forward due to a Mavs roster filled with injuries.

Dallas Mavericks center Kai Jones (quadriceps) will not be in the lineup on Friday against the Houston Rockets. The athletic big man has been downgraded from questionable to out, marking his sixth consecutive missed contest. With Jones still out on Friday, Dwight Powell looks set to remain in the rotation. However, the Canadian center has very little fantasy value. Even with Dallas lacking frontcourt options, Powell has been limited to 13.9 minutes per game this month, averaging 4.6 points and 3.3 rebounds.

Orlando Magic forward Tristan da Silva will start in Friday's meeting with Minnesota. Jalen Suggs (knee) has been on the shelf for a while. But with Cole Anthony (toe) and Kentavious Caldwell-Pope (rest) unavailable, da Silva will handle things at the shooting guard spot, with Cory Joseph taking over again at the one. The 23-year-old hasn't been a consistent fantasy producer this season. However, da Silva has averaged 8.9 points, 4.3 boards, and 1.8 assists in 35 starts this season, giving him added value for DFS managers.

Dallas Mavericks forward P.J. Washington (ankle) will miss Friday's contest against the Houston Rockets. He has been ruled out for a seventh consecutive game as Washington continues to nurse an ankle sprain. His next chance to return will come on Sunday in a matchup against the Philadelphia 76ers. Due to Washington's absence on Friday, Kessler Edwards and Dwight Powell will likely continue to receive additional playing time. Edwards has been a good streaming option for fantasy managers lately, averaging 15.0 points, 5.0 rebounds, 2.0 assists, and 1.0 steals over the past four games.

Orlando Magic point guard Cole Anthony (toe) has been ruled out for Friday's game against the Minnesota Timberwolves. He was a late scratch on Thursday against the New Orleans Pelicans due to a toe injury and will miss a second straight game after being initially listed as questionable. Cory Joseph and Anthony Black will share the minutes at point guard. Joseph has logged a pair of starts lately and finished Thursday's game with 12 points, six rebounds, and three assists. Black has also had his moments this season, but he currently doesn't look very appealing from a fantasy perspective.

Orlando Magic guard/forward Kentavious Caldwell-Pope (rest) will take off Friday night and won't be in the lineup against the Minnesota Timberwolves. The veteran is being rested for the second leg of a back-to-back. Tristan da Silva is set to start Friday's game in Caldwell-Pope's place. The starting role will boost da Silva's fantasy value, although his numbers have only slightly increased when he has been part of the starting group this season. In 35 starts, the 23-year-old rookie has averaged 8.9 points, 4.3 rebounds, and 1.8 assists.

Dallas Mavericks point guardBrandon Williams(hamstring) will play against the Houston Rockets on Friday. Williams missed Monday's game in San Antonio due to left hamstring tightness. However, Friday's contest will be the second consecutive game he's played in. An injury-riddled roster has made Williams a key piece to the Mavs rotation. He's posted averages of 19.3 points, 6.3 assists, 4.5 rebounds and 2.0 steals across 30.0 minutes per contest in his last four outings.

Atlanta Hawks point guard Trae Young (Achilles) is good to go for Friday's matchup against the Los Angeles Clippers. He has received his customary status upgrade from probable to available. The Hawks superstar has been on the injury report throughout the season, but he has missed only five games. Heading into Friday's contest, Young has recorded back-to-back games with 30-plus points, and he continues to deliver assists at a high volume, averaging 12.8 dimes in March.

Philadelphia 76ers forward Justin Edwards (ankle) won't play on Friday night against the Pacers. He logged 22 minutes in Wednesday's loss to Toronto. However, Edwards won't suit up because of a sprained ankle. The 76ers' injury report is packed with names, with Andre Drummond (toe), Paul George (groin), Quentin Grimes (illness), Tyrese Maxey (back, finger), Kelly Oubre Jr. (knee), and Lonnie Walker IV (concussion) also sidelined for this one. With that said, fantasy managers can anticipate increased contributions from Jared Butler, Ricky Council IV, Jeff Dowtin Jr., Alex Reese, and Adem Bona. Oshae Brissett, who agreed to a 10-day contract on Friday, and Jalen Hood-Schifino should also be involved.

Boston Celtics forward/center Kristaps Porzingis (illness) will continue to sit on Friday against the Miami Heat. Boston has now listed him as questionable on the injury report a couple of times, but Porzingis is still working his way back from an illness and isn't yet ready for game action. His next chance to return will come quickly, as Boston also heads out on Saturday against the Brooklyn Nets. Al Horford will continue to do extra work on Friday with Porzingis out. The veteran had a very busy night last time out against the Oklahoma City Thunder, finishing a 118-112 loss on Wednesday with 18 points, 10 rebounds, six assists, two blocks, and one steal in 34 minutes.

Lauren Rosen of FanDuelTVreports that Los Angeles Clippers forwardBen Simmons(knee) is available for Friday's game against the Atlanta Hawks. He's been out the last seven games due to what the team is calling injury management on his left knee. Since being traded away from Brooklyn, Simmons has appeared in five contests, averaging 6.8 points, 5.2 rebounds, 5.0 assists, and 1.4 steals across 21.2 minutes per game. The 28-year-old hasn't seen game action since February 28th, so his minutes will likely be limited. Amir CoffeyandDerrick Jones Jr.should still get a share of minutes. Neither one is recommended as a streaming option except for deep leagues.

Boston Celtics guard Derrick White (knee) will be active on Friday against the Miami Heat. He was initially listed as questionable for the game due to a left knee contusion. White has provided steady fantasy value throughout the season, and he has been particularly impressive during the last couple of weeks. Over his past six appearances, White has averaged 20.0 points, 4.5 rebounds, 5.3 assists, 1.3 blocks, and 1.3 steals. With Jaylen Brown (knee) sidelined on Friday, White may receive more shooting opportunities.

Boston Celtics forward/center Al Horford (toe) will be in the lineup on Friday against the Miami Heat. Boston has upgraded his status from probable to available. With Kristaps Porzingis (illness) out of commission, Horford has recently taken on a heavy workload. He is averaging 15.8 points, 9.0 rebounds, 3.5 assists, 1.3 blocks, and 1.8 steals this month. However, Horford doesn't play back-to-backs, so Luke Kornet and Neemias Queta will likely do the bulk of the work at center on Saturday against the Brooklyn Nets if Porzingis isn't ready to return.

Philadelphia 76ers guard/forward Kelly Oubre Jr. (knee) won't play on Friday against Indiana. Oubre had 13 points, five boards, three steals, and one block in Wednesday's loss to Toronto. However, he won't be available on Friday, joining Andre Drummond (toe), Justin Edwards (ankle), Paul George (groin), Quentin Grimes (illness), Tyrese Maxey (back, finger), and Lonnie Walker IV (concussion) on the shelf. As a result, Philly will need to dig deep for production, with Jared Butler, Adem Bona, Jeff Dowtin Jr., Ricky Council IV, and Guerschon Yabusele on tap to see a sizable bump in scoring opportunities.

Boston Celtics guard/forward Jaylen Brown (knee) has been ruled out for Friday's game against the Miami Heat. A minor knee issue will keep him sidelined for the second time this month. Brown's absence will increase the offensive opportunities for the rest of the starting lineup, while Payton Pritchard is expected to see more action in the rotation. The last time Brown was out of the lineup, Pritchard went for 19 points, six assists, and two steals in 32 minutes.

Philadelphia 76ers forward Alex Reese (shoulder) will play on Friday against the Pacers. He signed a two-way deal with Philadelphia at the end of February. Since then, the 25-year-old has appeared in just five games for the club, averaging 3.8 points and 3.6 rebounds. Reese was questionable for Friday's game because of a shoulder contusion. However, he's good to go. Under normal circumstances, the rookie's availability wouldn't mean much for fantasy managers. But with Lonnie Walker IV (concussion), Kelly Oubre Jr. (knee), Tyrese Maxey (back, finger), Quentin Grimes (illness), Paul George (groin), Andre Drummond (toe), and Justin Edwards (ankle) all ruled out, Reese is worth streaming in nearly all fantasy formats. He'll also draw value interest from DFS managers.

Boston Celtics forward Jayson Tatum (knee) will play in Friday's contest against the Miami Heat. Tatum is dealing with right knee tendinopathy, but his status has been upgraded from questionable to available. With Jaylen Brown (knee) absent from the lineup on Friday, we could see something special from Tatum, who has increased his scoring output in games without Brown this season to 30.5 points. With Boston back in action on Saturday against the Brooklyn Nets, we might see Brown returning and Tatum sitting out, which would then boost Brown's offensive usage.

According to Dave McMenamin of ESPN.com, Los Angeles Lakers centerJaxson Hayes(knee) will be out against the Denver Nuggets on Friday. The 24-year-old will miss his fourth straight game in a row due to a bruised right knee. He's still dealing with swelling, so it's unknown when he will be healthy enough to return. However, his next chance to return is on Sunday against Phoenix. IfDorian Finney-Smith(ankle) and/orTrey Jemison(illness) are also sidelined, Alex Len will likely see an uptick in minutes. Unfortunately, Len won't factor in fantasy even with the extra playing time during tonight's contest, as he's only registered a total of two points and seven rebounds in his last five outings.

Philadelphia 76ers center Andre Drummond (toe) won't play on Friday against the Pacers. The 76ers are in trouble, with Justin Edwards (ankle), Paul George (groin), Quentin Grimes (illness), Tyrese Maxey (back, finger), Lonnie Walker IV (concussion), and Kelly Oubre Jr. (knee) also sidelined versus Indiana. With that in mind, fantasy managers can expect increased production from guys like Guerschon Yabusele, Ricky Council IV, Jeff Dowtin Jr., Jared Butler, and Adem Bona.
