Holmgren logged 18 points (8-13 FG, 2-4 3Pt), 10 rebounds, one assist, one block and two steals in 27 minutes during Friday's 123-103 victory over the Raptors.

Holmgren registered his fourth double-double in his last five appearances Friday. He led the Thunder in rebounds and was third behind Shai Gilgeous-Alexander and Jalen Williams in scoring. Over his last five games, Holmgren has averaged 20.2 points on 57.6 percent shooting (including 45.5 percent from three on 4.4 3PA/G), 11.2 rebounds, 1.6 assists and 2.0 blocks over 31.3 minutes per game.

Davis (Achilles) has been cleared to play Friday against the 76ers, Ryan Ward of LakersNation.com reports.

Davis has been a frequent presence on the team's injury report, but he continues to suit up while dealing with a nagging Achilles injury. He's averaging 19.5 points, 12.6 rebounds, 3.8 assists, 1.5 steals and 2.0 blocks over eight March appearances.

Reath has been confirmed as the Blazers' starting center for Friday night's game against the Clippers, Law Murray of The Athletic reports.

It was reported a few hours before tipoff that Reath was in line for the start, and it's since been made official. Reath should see plenty of opportunities to make an impact with Deandre Ayton (elbow) out of commission.

Allen (hand) checked into Friday's game against Minnesota during the third quarter, Serena Winters of Bally Sports Cleveland reports.

As expected, Allen has been cleared to re-enter Friday's clash. His hand was taped up when he returned, so the laceration may be something to monitor over the next few days.

Allen is probable to return to Friday's game against the Timberwolves despite a right hand laceration, Chris Fedor of The Cleveland Plain Dealer reports.

Allen didn't start the second half, but he's expected to return to Friday's action at some point. He came out of the locker room shortly after the third quarter began and reported to the bench, per Fedor.

Reath is expected to start at center Friday against Los Angeles, Law Murray of The Athletic reports.

Deandre Ayton (elbow) has been ruled out with elbow tendinitis, so it'll be Reath who's in line for the spot start Friday night. His last start dates back to March 8 against the Rockets, when he finished with 16 points, six rebounds, three assists and one block in 32 minutes.

Ayton (elbow) won't play Friday against the Clippers, Law Murray of The Athletic reports.

Ayton will be held out of Friday's contest after being added to the injury report just a few hours before tipoff. Duop Reath is expected to start at center in Ayton's place.

Bryant will come off the bench Friday night against the Pelicans.

Bryant will shift back to a bench role now that Bam Adebayo has been cleared to return from his one-game suspension. Bryant is averaging 7.0 points and 3.6 rebounds in his last five appearances off the bench.

Gobert (ribs) has been cleared to play Friday against Cleveland, Serena Winters of Bally Sports Cleveland reports.

Gobert missed Minnesota's last three games while dealing with a left rib sprain, but he's healthy enough to suit up Friday evening. The big man is averaging 14.3 points, 15.0 rebounds, 1.3 assists, 1.0 steals and 2.7 blocks through six March appearances.

Wiseman will start Friday's game against the Celtics.

Minutes after the Pistons released their starting lineup, they downgraded Jalen Duren (back) to out and submitted a new first five with Wiseman joining Cade Cunningham, Jaden Ivey, Tosan Evbuomwan and Troy Brown. It'll be Wiseman's first start as a Piston, but when he's played at least 25 minutes (five games) this season, the 2020 No. 2 overall pick has averaged 15.2 points, 8.6 rebounds, 3.0 assists and 0.8 blocks in 27.0 minutes.
