Len closed Friday's 101-100 loss to the Celtics with zero points (0-1 FG) over three minutes.

Len was barely noticeable in the loss, failing to score for the third time in the past five games. His role is typically limited to no more than 12 minutes per night, making him a non-factor, even in deeper formats. At best, he can be considered as a desperation source of blocks.

Bolden amassed four points (2-2 FG) and three rebounds in 10 minutes during Friday's 124-115 win over the Magic.

Bolden remained in the rotation Friday, taking to the floor for the third straight game. Prior to that, he had played on only four occasions all season. While it is clear the Hornets are going to hand minutes to just about anyone down the stretch, Bolden is not someone fantasy managers need to be considering outside of deep leagues.

Ayton posted 34 points (13-25 FG, 8-9 FT), 13 rebounds, three assists, two steals and two blocks over 40 minutes in Friday's 108-102 win over Washington.

Ayton led all players in Friday's contest in scoring and shots made while hauling in a team-high-tying rebound total to go along with a team-best pair of blocks in a double-double showcase. Ayton set a new season high in scoring in the victory, posting his fourth game with 30 or more points. All four of Ayton's 30-point outings have occurred over his last 11 contests, and he has added 13 or more boards in each of those contests.

Yurtseven will start against the Clippers on Friday, Tomer Azarly of ClutchPoints.com reports.

John Collins (back) and Walker Kessler (nose) are both sidelined, so Yurtseven could have a sizable role Friday night. In six starts this season, Yurtseven averaged 6.0 points, 8.7 rebounds, 1.2 assists and 1.0 blocks.

Nurkic (calf) will play Friday against the Timberwolves.

Nurkic will shed his questionable tag to suit up against Rudy Gobert. Nurkic is averaging 8.4 points, 11.3 rebounds and 3.7 assists over his last 10 games.

Davis (knee) is questionable for Saturday's game against the Cavaliers, Ryan Ward of LakersNation.com reports.

Davis continues to be day-to-day with his hyperextended left knee. In Wednesday's 125-120 victory over the Wizards, Davis recorded 35 points (10-17 FG, 0-1 3Pt, 15-15 FT), 18 rebounds, one assist, three blocks and two steals over 38 minutes.

Williams will return to his usual reserve role in Friday's game against Milwaukee.

Williams is coming off a spot start in which he accumulated zero points (0-7 FG, 0-2 3Pt), five rebounds, one assist, two blocks and one steal over 31 minutes. With Kelly Olynyk back at center, Williams will once again come off the bench.

Kleber (back) won't play Friday against the Warriors, Grant Afseth of SI.com reports.

Kleber will miss his first game since Feb. 28 due to back spasms and is considered day-to-day. Dwight Powell should see a heightened role as the Mavericks' backup center Friday with both Kleber and Dereck Lively (knee) sitting out.

Horford will start at power forward in Friday's game against the Kings, Justin Turpin of WEEI.com reports.

Horford will start alongside Kristaps Porzingis, as the team will go with a bigger frontcourt than usual. This is due to Jaylen Brown (hand) and Derrick White (back) being sidelined. Horford has averaged 10.5 points, 6.8 rebounds and 3.3 assists across 30.9 minutes in 31 starts this season.

Gibson (hamstring) won't play in Friday's game versus the Grizzlies.

Gibson's absence streak will extend to nine games Friday after being downgraded from doubtful to out with a right hamstring injury. The veteran big man's next chance to suit up is Saturday's matchup with Brooklyn.
