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 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 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.

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.
