Robert Williams III C | POR
Trail Blazers' Robert Williams: Questionable for Friday
Williams (knee) is questionable to play Friday versus the Mavericks.
Williams logged only 13 minutes in Wednesday's win over Milwaukee, and Friday's game is not part of a back-to-back set, so it would be somewhat surprising to see Williams receive a rest day. However, if he is ruled out, that will open up minutes for Yang Hansen.

Quinten Post C | GS
Warriors' Quinten Post: To miss third straight game
Post (foot) has been ruled out for Friday's game against the Wizards.
Post is slated for a third straight absence due to right foot injury management. Al Horford (calf) has also been downgraded to out Friday, which could once again open up more chances for Omer Yurtseven and Malevy Leons in the frontcourt.

Al Horford C | GS
Warriors' Al Horford: Out again Friday
Horford (calf) is out for Friday's game against the Wizards.
Horford is set to sit out his eighth straight game, but the Warriors are expected to release an update on his rehab Friday. Kristaps Porzingis, Draymond Green and Omer Yurtseven will continue to hold down the center spot while Horford is out.

Alex Sarr C | WAS
Wizards' Alex Sarr: Questionable for Friday
Sarr (toe) is questionable for Friday's game versus the Warriors.
Sarr is in danger of missing his third straight game Friday. If he can't give it a go, Tristan Vukcevic (back), Anthony Gill and Julian Reese will help pick up the slack.

Deandre Ayton C | LAL
Lakers' Deandre Ayton: Will return Friday
Ayton (back) isn't listed on the injury report for Friday's game against Brooklyn.
Ayton wasn't able to suit up Wednesday due to back soreness, but he's able to avoid the injury report for Friday's matchup. The big man is averaging 10.7 points and 7.8 rebounds over 12 March appearances.

DeAndre Jordan C | NO
Pelicans' DeAndre Jordan: Starting Thursday
Jordan is in the starting lineup for Thursday's matchup with the Pistons.
Dejounte Murray, Herbert Jones, Saddiq Bey and Zion Williamson will join Jordan in the first unit for Thursday's game. In six starts this season, Jordan has posted averages of 3.8 points, 7.3 rebounds and 1.0 blocks per contest.

Jalen Duren C | DET
Pistons' Jalen Duren: Available to play
Duren (knee) is available for Thursday's game versus the Pelicans.
Duren was initially listed as probable for Thursday's game, and now we have official confirmation that he'll be available. The 22-year-old All-Star is averaging 19.3 points, 10.6 rebounds and 1.7 assists per game this season.

Nick Richards C | CHI
Bulls' Nick Richards: Iffy for Friday
Richards is questionable for Friday's game against Oklahoma City with a sprained right elbow.
Richards is in danger of missing the first leg of this back-to-back set. The Bulls would be down to Lachlan Olbrich and Leonard Miller as their primary options at the center position if Richards is ultimately downgraded to out Friday.
-
Jarrett Allen C | CLE
Cavaliers' Jarrett Allen: Questionable for Friday
Allen (knee) is questionable to face the Heat on Friday.
Allen hasn't played since March 3, but this is the first time he's received the questionable tag since going down with the knee injury, which suggests he's on the cusp of making his return. If Allen is cleared for Friday's game, he'll likely have a strict minutes restriction, but his return would mean less playing time for Thomas Bryant.

Daniel Gafford C | DAL
Mavericks' Daniel Gafford: Won't play Friday
Gafford (shoulder) has been ruled out for Friday's game in Portland.
This will be Gafford's second straight game on the sidelines, and with Monday's matchup with Minnesota being the first of a back-to-back, it seems unlikely he'll be able to return for that one. Marvin Bagley and Dwight Powell will help pick up the slack while Gafford is out.
