Denver Nuggets point guard Jamal Murray (knee) will suit up for Friday's matchup against the Los Angeles Lakers. He has been upgraded from probable to available before tip-off. The Canadian star will continue to play despite dealing with inflammation in his left knee. Murray struggled in the last game against the Minnesota Timberwolves, scoring 12 points on 4-for-15 shooting, but he has had a good campaign overall. Over six March outings, Murray has averaged 22.0 points, 3.7 rebounds, 6.8 assists, and 1.3 steals.

Denver Nuggets center Nikola Jokic (elbow, ankle) will be on the court in Friday's clash against the Los Angeles Lakers. The three-time MVP will remain in the lineup despite dealing with a couple of health issues. He had a probable tag on the initial injury report. It remains to be seen if he will also play in the second leg of a back-to-back on Saturday against the miserable Washington Wizards. On Friday, Jokic has a chance to record his third streak of the season with 30-plus points in at least three consecutive games.

Toronto Raptors guard/forward Ochai Agbaji (ankle) is not healthy enough to return to the lineup on Friday against the Utah Jazz. The team has downgraded his status from questionable to out. Agbaji will miss a seventh consecutive contest. With Ja'Kobe Walter (hip) and Gradey Dick (knee) also out of commission, Jamison Battle and A.J. Lawson could have significant roles to play again in Friday's contest. Lawson has scored an eye-popping 60 points across the past two games.

Toronto Raptors guard/forward Scottie Barnes (hand) will play in Friday's matchup against the Utah Jazz. Initially, there was concern he might miss a second consecutive game when the team listed him as questionable on the injury report. Fortunately, he has made a swift recovery from a hand sprain. Barnes enters Friday's game with three double-doubles over his last four outings. This stretch includes a fantastic performance against the Jazz a week ago, where he posted 22 points, 12 rebounds, six assists, three blocks, and two steals.

Brooklyn Nets forward/center Trendon Watford (hamstring) will not play on Saturday against the Boston Celtics. The matchup marks the beginning of a back-to-back set, and Watford will exit the lineup on Saturday to manage a left hamstring injury. Brooklyn's frontcourt will be extremely thin on Saturday, meaning fantasy managers can expect to see plenty of Day'Ron Sharpe and Jalen Wilson. There is a good chance Watford will return to the mix on Sunday when the Nets finish the weekend's back-to-back against the Atlanta Hawks.
