Claxton (finger) has been ruled out for Friday's game against the Bucks.

Claxton will miss a fourth straight game, and it's unlikely he'll suit up during Sunday's regular-season finale in Toronto. E.J. Liddell should draw another start at center in Claxton's absence.

Richards (elbow) is out for Friday's game against the Magic.

Richards will miss his ninth straight game, and there's been no indication that he's close to a return. Consider him doubtful for the season finale Sunday.

Olbrich (foot) is probable for Friday's matchup against the Magic.

Assuming Olbrich sees the floor, he could have a bigger role given that Guerschon Yabusele -- and many other Bulls frontcourt players -- are sidelined. Olbrich has seen double-digit minutes in five consecutive games, averaging 5.2 points, 5.8 rebounds and 1.6 assists in 16.4 minutes.

Queta (toe) is probable for Friday's game against the Pelicans, Taylor Snow of the Celtics' official site reports.

Queta is expected to push through this injury for the second leg of this back-to-back set. He double-doubled against the Knicks on Thursday with 10 points, 10 rebounds, two assists and two steals in 24 minutes.

Reid (shoulder) is questionable for Friday's game against the Rockets.

Presumably, the Timberwolves are contemplating a maintenance day for Reid here. He started in the absence of Rudy Gobert on Wednesday against the Magic and finished with 15 points (6-11 FG, 1-5 3Pt, 2-3 FT), five rebounds, two assists, two blocks and three steals across 24 minutes.

Jackson-Davis (illness) is out for Friday's game against the Knicks, Steve Popper of Newsday reports.

Jackson-Davis is not a usual rotation player for Toronto, so his absence doesn't carry many fantasy implications. He's made 13 appearances since the All-Star break, playing double-digit minutes only once.

Powell (hip) is questionable for Friday's game against the Spurs.

Like Marvin Bagley (shoulder), Powell was a late addition to the injury report. If one or both players end up sitting out, the Mavericks may need to rely heavily on Moussa Cisse.

Bagley (shoulder) is questionable for Friday's game against the Spurs.

Bagley was a late addition to the injury report. The Mavericks are going to be very shorthanded Friday, and Moussa Cisse could be asked to step into an expanded role if Bagley is unavailable.

Robinson has been ruled out for Friday's game against the Raptors due to left ankle injury management.

Robinson will get a breather for the second leg of a back-to-back set after he recorded seven points, seven rebounds, three steals and one block across 19 minutes in Thursday's 112-106 win over the Celtics. In Robinson's absence Friday, Ariel Hukporti is likely to enter the rotation as the primary backup to starting center Karl-Anthony Towns.

Bassey recorded 12 points (6-8 FG), 13 rebounds, one assist and two blocks in 30 minutes off the bench during Thursday's 119-103 loss to the Lakers.

Seeing his biggest workload of the season, Bassey delivered his second straight double-double and the fifth of his career. The fifth-year center could see big workloads again over the final two games of the regular season as Golden State prioritizes getting its frontcourt healthy for the Play-In Tournament.
