Cleveland Cavaliers point guard Darius Garland (ankle) has been upgraded from probable to available for Friday's matchup against Philadelphia. He has a chance to register a third consecutive double-double on Friday, although Garland will have to get used to sharing the ball with Donovan Mitchell, who's back in the lineup. Cleveland's point guard has seen plenty of success in previous meetings with the 76ers this season, averaging 24.3 points, 8.7, and 2.0 steals.


Cleveland Cavaliers guard Donovan Mitchell (nose) will return to the court on Friday against Philadelphia, ending a six-game absence. This will be only his third appearance of the month, as the Cavaliers superstar has had some awful luck with injuries. Mitchell's return pushes Isaac Okoro back to the second unit, which will be a big blow to his fantasy appeal. The Sixers had massive struggles containing Mitchell in the last head-to-head clash, giving up 36 points.


Detroit Pistons guard Jaden Ivey (knee) is good to go for Friday's game against the Washington Wizards. Ivey was a late addition to the injury report, with soreness in his left knee on Wednesday, and he didn't play against Minnesota. Cade Cunningham (knee) will be available to help out Detroit's depleted backcourt. Malachi Flynn could be in line to see some more minutes during the contest also.


Miami Heat guard/forward Caleb Martin (ankle) will be a game-time decision on Friday versus Portland. He plans to go through the pregame warmup before deciding if he can play through right ankle discomfort, which has troubled him lately. Martin hasn't missed any action since Jan. 10. He's struggled with his shot this month but has still averaged a solid 10.7 points with 4.7 rebounds and 2.2 assists.

Due to illness, Detroit Pistons guard Marcus Sasser (illness) has been ruled out ahead of their Friday night matchup against the Washington Wizards. The rookie hasn't missed any action since March 1st. However, Cade Cunningham (knee) will be in the rotation after being listed as questionable. Jaden Ivey (knee) also carried a questionable tag, but he will be available to help out a thin Pistons backcourt.
