Cleveland Cavaliers guardTy Jerome(knee) will miss Friday's contest against the New York Knicks due to left knee injury management. Jerome will be out for the second half of back-to-back games after finishing with 24 points, six assists, two rebounds, and one block in 26 minutes against the Pacers on Thursday. The Cavs will likely rest several players for their last two games as they prepare for the playoffs. Jerome's last chance to suit up is during the team's regular season finale on Sunday afternoon versus the Pacers.

Orlando Magic forward Paolo Banchero (ankle) won't play on Friday against Indiana. The Magic are bound for the Play-In tournament, so the team will give Banchero, Franz Wagner (knee), Kentavious Caldwell-Pope (knee), and Wendell Carter Jr. (hip) the night off. As a result, DFS managers could see increased production from Cole Anthony, Goga Bitadze, Caleb Houstan, and Anthony Black.

Detroit Pistons center/forward Isaiah Stewart (knee) has been ruled out of Friday's game against the Milwaukee Bucks due to right knee inflammation. Since he's been playing more of a backup role, it shouldn't cause too much of a shakeup in the rotation. Jalen Duren should see a big chunk of minutes and Paul Reed will likely get some more playing time as well. The Bucks have a lot of size in the frontcourt, so Reed may be a sneaky, yet risky, play in DFS. Reed has only played more than 19 minutes in a game one time this year, so the safest bet is finding a different option.

Atlanta Hawks guard Trae Young (Achilles) is cleared to play in Friday's meeting with the 76ers. The former Oklahoma Sooner had a 24-point, 12-rebound double-double in Thursday's win over the Brooklyn Nets. As usual, he was listed on the injury report because of Achilles Tendinitis. But the Hawks need to secure the No. 8 seed in the Eastern Conference, so he will be out there. Young has faced the Sixers just once this season, amassing 28 points and eight assists, giving him plenty of appeal for DFS managers.

Detroit Pistons guard Cade Cunningham (knee) appeared on Friday's injury report for the game against the Milwaukee Bucks, but he's considered probable despite the patellar tendinopathy in his left knee. The star point guard has been a huge component to the team's success this year, so having him healthy down the stretch is very important. He's posted career-highs in multiple categories, including points (26.0), assists (9.1), and threes per game (2.1). If, for whatever reason, Cunningham is downgraded, then Dennis Schroder would be the next one up to join the starting five.
