Philadelphia 76ers forward Nicolas Batum (foot) has been ruled out for Friday's meeting with New Orleans. He has been downgraded from a questionable status. Batum comes out of the lineup right after getting a new look in the starting unit against Memphis on Wednesday. His absence could give a starter's role back to Kelly Oubre Jr., while Kenyon Martin Jr. might also have a larger role. Oubre Jr. is enjoying a good season in Philadelphia and could be ready for a massive night offensively on Friday, with Joel Embiid (knee) and Tyrese Maxey (concussion) out of the lineup.
Philadelphia 76ers forward Nicolas Batum (foot) is uncertain to suit up for Friday's game against the visiting Pelicans. The 35-year-old has been heavily involved of late, logging 30 minutes in four games in March. But he's dealing with foot soreness, and considering his history, fantasy managers should begin planning accordingly. If Batum is ruled out, Kenyon Martin Jr. might see more action. However, he'd be a risky option in any fantasy format.
Dallas Mavericks forward Derrick Jones Jr. (shoulder) is regarded as questionable for Tuesday's matchup against Indiana. The high-flyer from UNLV might have to skip a very favorable matchup due to a left shoulder strain. The timing of the injury couldn't be worse, as Jones Jr. has just had one of his best outings of the season with a 21-point, seven-rebound effort against Philadelphia. Jones Jr.'s absence would open the door for Dante Exum and Tim Hardaway Jr. to make a bigger mark off the Dallas bench. A lot of big fantasy lines are expected from the clash at Gainbridge Fieldhouse, as Indiana is ranked No. 1 in pace but sits among the worst defensive teams in the league.
Los Angeles Clippers center Ivica Zubac (illness) is listed as questionable ahead of Sunday's game against the Minnesota Timberwolves. The big man has missed each of the last two games due to an illness. Zubac is traveling with the team to Minnesota, which is a good sign heading into this contest. If he plays, Daniel Theis would head back to the bench and Mason Plumlee would see a decreased role. Fantasy managers will have to check back for another update on Sunday.
Los Angeles Clippers center Ivica Zubac (illness) remains out for Friday's meeting with the Washington Wizards. The 26-year-old is under the weather, so he'll miss a second consecutive game. His next chance to return will be Sunday in Minnesota. But until then, Daniel Theis, who had nine points, five boards, and one block on Wednesday against the Lakers, is a risky fantasy option for those in deeper formats needing a replacement.
