The Warriors plan to rest Porzingis (illness) in Utah on Monday and have him available for Tuesday's game against Chicago, Anthony Slater of ESPN.com reports. He finished Saturday's 104-97 loss to the Thunder with nine points (3-10 FG, 0-3 3Pt, 3-6 FT), five rebounds, five assists and one block across 23 minutes.

Porzingis was expected to play 15-to-20 minutes in his return from a six-game absence due to an illness, though he saw increased playing time and led Golden State's second unit in points and assists. The Warriors are expected to hold the veteran center out of one game during their upcoming back-to-back set, and it wouldn't be surprising to see the club limit him in back-to-backs for the remainder of the season. It will also be worth monitoring whether his workload increases Tuesday.

Jackson finished Saturday's 123-120 win over the Grizzlies with 12 points (6-10 FG, 0-2 FT), 12 rebounds, two steals and one block over 25 minutes.

Jackson's 25 minutes off the bench were his most in a game since Feb. 2, and he took advantage of the additional playing time by leading the Clippers in rebounds while recording his seventh double-double of the season. He started in place of Brook Lopez at the start of the second half, and Jackson ended up seeing most of his playing time come over the final two frames of Saturday's game. With Yanic Konan Niederhauser (foot) out for the rest of the season, Jackson figures to be the top big man off the bench for the rest of the 2025-26 campaign.

Landale finished Saturday's 125-116 win over Philadelphia with seven points (2-4 FG, 1-2 3Pt, 2-3 FT) and one rebound across 19 minutes.

With Onyeka Okongwu healthy, Landale is producing quality numbers on a per-minute basis but has his fantasy upside capped in a limited role off the bench. Landale has averaged 10.2 points, 3.2 rebounds, 1.5 assists and 1.2 three-pointers in 17.9 minutes per contest over his last six games, shooting 41.2 percent from long distance during this span.

Zubac (ankle) is out for Sunday's game versus Portland.

Zubac's debut continues to be put on hold as he recovers from his ankle sprain. The Pacers are being very cautious with their new addition, but recent reports have suggested that he's getting closer.

Ayton (knee) isn't listed on the injury report for Sunday's game against New York.

Ayton logged just four minutes in Thursday's loss to Denver and didn't play in Friday's win over the Pacers due to left knee soreness, though he's set to return Sunday. With the big man returning to the lineup, Jaxson Hayes should revert to a bench role, while Drew Timme is likely to see a significant dip in playing time and could fall out of the rotation entirely.

Kleber (back) is questionable for Sunday's game against the Knicks.

Kleber remains day-to-day after two straight absences for the Lakers. His availability (or lack thereof) isn't going to make many waves in fantasy hoops with Deandre Ayton off the injury report.

Porzingis (illness) is available for Saturday's game against the Thunder.

Porzingis will shake off his questionable tag and return from a six-game absence due to an illness. During his lone Warriors appearance in a loss to Boston on Feb. 19, the veteran big man posted 12 points, one rebound, one assist and one block in 17 minutes. He'll be limited to around 15-20 minutes Saturday, according to Anthony Slater of ESPN.com.

Sarr (hamstring) is not listed on the injury report ahead of Sunday's game against the Pelicans.

Sarr has been rehabbing from a right hamstring strain that caused him to miss 10 consecutive games dating back to mid-February. His absence from the injury report indicates that he's progressed enough in his recovery to return Sunday, and if he moves back into the starting lineup, then Julian Reese will likely revert to a rotational role off the bench.

Plumlee (reconditioning) has been ruled out for Sunday's game against the Rockets.

Plumlee is still ramping up his conditioning after undergoing right groin surgery in late December. His next opportunity to suit up will come Tuesday against the Celtics.

Duren (back) is available for Saturday's game against the Nets.

Duren will shed his probable tag to suit up for the front end of this back-to-back set. The center is averaging 22.3 points and 12.7 rebounds over his last six contests.
