Philadelphia 76ers forward Guerschon Yabusele (knee) is experiencing some soreness in his right knee and has been ruled out of Friday's contest against the Atlanta Hawks. The big man from France already missed the last two games, and it wouldn't be surprising if the team decided to hold him out of their last game on Sunday as well. Adem Bona should get the starting nod at center again, while Colin Castleton should remain the backup big, even if Alex Reese (Achilles) does play. Bona has played well to end the season, to the tune of 14.8 points, 8.8 rebounds, 1.0 assists, 2.2 blocks, and 1.2 steals per game through five games in April.

Philadelphia 76ers guard Quentin Grimes (shoulder) won't suit up for Friday's meeting with the Atlanta Hawks. He had 17 points, 11 rebounds, seven assists, two steals, and one block in Wednesday's win over the Washington Wizards. However, he will miss this one because of a sprained right shoulder. As a result, Adem Bona, Lonnie Walker IV, Jared Butler, and Jeff Dowtin Jr. should each see more offensive opportunities.

Detroit Pistons guard Malik Beasley (illness) has received a questionable tag on Friday for their matchup with the Milwaukee Bucks. The 28-year-old hasn't missed a game yet this season, but he's suffering from an illness at the moment. So far, he's posted his best season since 2020-21 with the Minnesota Timberwolves. If he's unable to play in this one, his 16.2 points and 28.0 minutes per game will be left to Dennis Schroder and maybe even Ron Holland II. Schroder would be the safest play for any fantasy or DFS managers as he's averaged 10.7 points, 5.1 assists, 2.6 rebounds, and 1.2 turnovers per game in 27 games with the Pistons.

Cleveland Cavaliers guard/forwardSam Merrill(rest) will be out of action for Friday's matchup with the New York Knicks. Merrill gets the evening off to rest after posting 15 points, three rebounds, four assists, one steal and one block in a losing effort to the Indiana Pacers 114-112 on Thursday. With Merrill sidelined, 24-year-old forward Isaac Okoro will likely see an uptick in minutes on the floor and extra scoring opportunities during tonight's contest.

Indiana Pacers forward Pascal Siakam (elbow) won't play on Friday against Orlando. The former Raptor had 10 points and eight boards in Thursday's win over the Cavs. However, the Pacers are locked into a playoff spot, so Siakam, Tyrese Haliburton (back), Aaron Nesmith (rest), Andrew Nembhard (thumb), and Myles Turner (knee) also won't suit up. Obi Toppin, averaging 28 points and seven rebounds in two starts this season, will likely fill the void at the four spot.
