Portland Trail Blazers center Deandre Ayton (hand) is considered doubtful against the Houston Rockets on Friday while he deals with a right hand sprain. This will be the big man's fifth consecutive missed game and his 22nd overall. Ayton has been a very good rebounder this season, but his health and struggles with his new team have been part of the reason that he's registering one of his worst statistical seasons. Despite that, he should still be a starter on fantasy rosters whenever he does play, but since he's doubtful for this contest, Duop Reath should remain in the starting five. Moses Brown may also get some minutes, but his spot in the rotation isn't consistent enough to be a streamer.

Los Angeles Lakers guard/forward Cam Reddish (ankle) remains on the injury report ahead of their game on Friday but is considered probable to suit up. Reddish returned from a long absence due to an ankle sprain and played four straight games before missing their last contest against the Sacramento Kings. In that four-game stretch, he wasn't able to get much going as he hasn't seen that many minutes. He posted 2.0 points and 1.8 rebounds across 13.9 minutes per game in the span. He's still not much of a starting-caliber player in most fantasy leagues, but he could see some extra opportunities if LeBron James (ankle) is downgraded from questionable.

Los Angeles Lakers forward LeBron James (ankle) has been tagged as questionable for Friday's game against the Milwaukee Bucks. He continues to suffer from peroneal tendinopathy in his left ankle which knocked him out of a few games in mid-February. The trend seems to be receiving a questionable tag to start out, then he and the team decide after shootaround and warming up if he'll play or not. Fantasy managers with James on their team are used to this song and dance by now, so they'll have to wait until closer to game time to check his status. If he's unable to play, potential streaming options would include Rui Hachimura and Spencer Dinwiddie.

Los Angeles Lakers center Anthony Davis (Achilles) has been deemed probable for their game against the Milwaukee Bucks on Friday night. The superstar big man has been dealing with this Achilles issue for quite a while but hasn't had to miss a game since February 1. So far this season, he's averaging 24.8 points, 12.3 rebounds, 3.6 assists, 2.4 blocks, and 1.1 steals per game while enjoying his healthiest season since his first year on the Lakers in 2019-20. Whenever he's available, he should be in all fantasy lineups due to the plethora of stats that he puts up each night. Davis should have his work cut out for him going head-to-head with Giannis Antetokounmpo and company.

Oklahoma City Thunder center Jaylin Williams did not appear on the first injury report submitted by the team for their Friday night game against the Miami Heat. The young big has missed the last three games but also hasn't received the minutes that constitute starting him in most fantasy leagues. Williams will likely return to his usual 15-17 minutes per contest while Mike Muscala will chip away at some of those minutes after signing with the team on March 2. Williams averages 3.8 points, 3.2 rebounds, and 1.3 assists across 12.6 minutes so far this season.
