Washington Wizards guard Landry Shamet (calf) is questionable heading into Sunday's game against the Miami Heat. Shamet missed Washington's previous game against the Charlotte Hornets thanks to left calf soreness. The reserve has become a solid asset, averaging 18 minutes per game since February. Bilal Coulibaly and Tyus Jones will likely continue to start, but the bench players will benefit most. Corey Kispert and Jordan Poole each saw 30-plus minutes off the bench in Friday's game without Shamet. Poole has averaged 22.8 points on 3.4 three-pointers made since moving to the bench to turn his woeful season around, and his usage only gets better off the bench if Shamet is out.

Portland Trail Blazers guard Scoot Henderson (adductor) will play on Saturday against Toronto. The rookie has been out of the lineup for the last eight games because of an adductor injury. He's averaged 12.9 points and 4.7 assists in his inaugural year. However, with Shaedon Sharpe (abdomen) and Malcolm Brogdon (elbow) still sidelined, Henderson may benefit on the scoring end, even if he's limited in his first game back from his lengthy layoff.

Orlando Magic guard Markelle Fultz (knee) is listed as questionable for Sunday's game against the Indiana Pacers with a left knee strain. The 25-year-old has had a difficult season, playing in just 27 of the team's 64 games because of injury woes. Fultz tweaked his knee in Friday's game against the New York Knicks and has had issues with it throughout the season. Orlando's starting point guard, Jalen Suggs (thigh), is also listed as questionable to add more concern for Sunday's game. Cole Anthony, Gary Harris, and Anthony Black are the key Magic players to get increased time and usage if Fultz is forced to miss the game.

Portland Trail Blazers center Deandre Ayton (hand) will suit up on Saturday night against the Raptors. He's been flirting with playing over the last few games. However, the former Sun will return after missing the previous five games because of a sprained hand. There's a chance Ayton will get fewer minutes in his first game back from a lengthy layoff. But his return will still be enough to drop the fantasy ceiling of Duop Reath, who's averaged 13.8 points and 6.0 rebounds in 16 starts during the 2023-24 campaign.

Milwaukee Bucks guard Khris Middleton (ankle) remains out for Sunday's game against the Los Angeles Clippers. The 32-year-old has missed over a month because of an ankle injury. He has been practicing, which is a good sign. However, it's anyone's guess when Middleton will be back on the floor. But until then, Giannis Antetokounmpo (knee) and Damian Lillard should continue to benefit from a production standpoint. But there's room on deep-league fantasy rosters for Malik Beasley until Middleton is healthy, although he's not consistently productive.
