Charlotte Hornets

Charlotte Hornets forward Grant Williams (ankle) won't play in Friday's matchup with the Celtics. He's battling a sprained right ankle. But with the Hornets having nothing left to play for, Williams likely won't see the floor again this season. With Nick Richards (foot) also out, Williams could have handled things at the five. But with both men out, Aleksej Pokusevski is nearly a lock for all DFS contests.

Charlotte Hornets forward Grant Williams (ankle) has received a questionable tag on Friday for a revenge game against the Boston Celtics. The former Celtic has been inconsistent to say the least, but he's hit a bit of a rhythm lately as he continues to be a starter for the Hornets. With a lot of the core not able to play, Williams is likely to get as many opportunities as possible if he plays in this game. It's unclear if the Celtics are going to be resting their starters since their injury report hasn't been submitted, but Williams' value would increase if that was the case. If he can't suit up, however, Davis Bertans and Aleksej Pokusevski would be quality streaming options.

Dallas Mavericks guard/forward Josh Green (ankle) has been cleared to return to action against Miami on Wednesday. Green hasn't played since March 14, and there were even fears of him being done for the rest of the regular season, but the 23-year-old is available again on Wednesday after missing 12 games. Green hasn't made a very big impact in fantasy hoops this season, averaging 8.5 points, 3.2 rebounds, and 2.3 assists in 26.6 minutes. It's possible he will return with a minutes restriction on Wednesday.

Dallas Mavericks guard/forward Josh Green (ankle) will likely miss his 11th consecutive contest on Tuesday versus the Charlotte Hornets. It remains to be seen if the 23-year-old will return during the regular season, with Dallas having only four games left on the schedule. Tim Hardaway Jr., Derrick Jones and Jaden Hardy will continue to see extra minutes if Green is unavailable Tuesday.

Charlotte Hornets center Nick Richards (foot) isn't ready to return to the lineup on Friday against Orlando. The team has downgraded Richards from questionable to out, resulting in his third consecutive absence. Grant Williams has moved to the starting unit as Richards' replacement. The 25-year-old has averaged 14.0 points, 7.0 rebounds, and 6.5 assists in the role. He's likely to start again on Friday, with Charlotte short of options at the center position.
