Washington Wizards forward Deni Avdija (heel) is active for Friday's showdown with the Los Angeles Clippers. The 23-year-old missed three games because of a heel contusion before returning on Thursday against the Lakers. He had a fantastic game, ending the night with 15 points, 15 boards, and five assists. Avdija has had the best year of his career, so he should be starting in all fantasy lineups. However, his presence makes Corey Kispert a less appealing fantasy option.

Chicago Bulls guard Alex Caruso (knee) will play on Friday against the Bucks. He was listed as questionable heading into the Central Division clash because of a hamstring strain. However, the 30-year-old is good to go. Caruso averaged eight points in February, down from January. However, he made up for it by getting more active on the glass and as a distributor. Of course, his defensive prowess is always appreciated by category managers. At any rate, Caruso can be utilized in all fantasy setups. But he's not always a consistent performer.

Milwaukee Bucks forward Giannis Antetokounmpo (knee) will play on Friday against the Bulls. The 29-year-old is seemingly always on the injury report. However, he's only missed two games this season. Antetokounmpo has averaged 31.0 points, 12.3 rebounds, and 1.3 steals in three meetings with Chicago this season, making him a more appealing option for all fantasy lineups, including those participating in DFS contests.

Los Angeles Clippers center Ivica Zubac (illness) remains out for Friday's meeting with the Washington Wizards. The 26-year-old is under the weather, so he'll miss a second consecutive game. His next chance to return will be Sunday in Minnesota. But until then, Daniel Theis, who had nine points, five boards, and one block on Wednesday against the Lakers, is a risky fantasy option for those in deeper formats needing a replacement.

Los Angeles Lakers forward LeBron James (ankle) is questionable for Saturday's matchup against the Denver Nuggets. James has been on the injury report several times this season with left ankle peroneal tendinopathy. However, he has been available in the last three Lakers games. Should the 39-year-old be unable to go, Taurean Prince and Rui Hachimura could pick up some minutes. Cam Reddish (ankle) could also be used, as he is listed as probable.
