Memphis Grizzlies forward/centerSanti Aldama(calf) will remain out for Friday's game against the Cleveland Cavaliers. The 24-year-old has been dealing with a right calf strain. Friday's contest will be the sixth he's missed in the last seven due to the injury. Jaren Jackson Jr. (ankle) is questionable, so the Grizzlies could potentially have a light frontcourt this evening. Vince Williams,Brandon Clarke, GG Jackson, and Zach Edey will likely be relied upon to fill the void during tonight's matchup.


Philadelphia 76ers guardLonnie Walker IV (concussion) won't suit up against the Pacers on Friday. The 26-year-old picked up a concussion on Wednesday versus the Raptors. Walker signed a two-year, $3 million contract three weeks ago with the 76ers. With several Sixers players out with injuries, Walker played at least 25 minutes per contest in four of his last six outings. His next chance to get back in the lineup is Sunday versus Dallas. Unfortunately, Walker may miss more time as he must pass through the league's concussion protocols before returning to game action.


Indiana Pacers forward Pascal Siakam (elbow) will play on Friday versus Philly, according to head coach Rick Carlisle. The former Raptor was questionable heading into this contest because of right Olecranon bursitis. But he'll be out there. Siakam hasn't missed a game with the Pacers since being dealt by Toronto ahead of last season's trade deadline. He also remains one of Indiana's top performers, averaging 20.8 points and 7.2 rebounds while shooting a career-high 40.1% from downtown. With Philadelphia dealing with a multitude of injuries, Siakam could thrive for fantasy managers, although his presence should mean less work for Obi Toppin, who would have likely slid into the starting lineup.


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.


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.
