  • Alex Sarr C | WAS

    Wizards' Alex Sarr: Out for Wednesday

    Sarr (toe) is out for Wednesday's game against the 76ers.

    With Sarr out for a third straight contest, the Wizards will likely lean more on Tristan Vukcevic and Anthony Gill to fill minutes at center.

  • Joel Embiid C | PHI

    76ers' Joel Embiid: Ruled out for Wednesday

    Embiid (illness) is out for Wednesday's game against the Wizards, Noah Levick of NBC Sports Philadelphia reports.

    Embiid wasn't previously on the injury report, so this is an unfortunate development for his fantasy managers. He was dealing with an illness back on Monday against Miami, yet he posted 26 points (10-25 FG, 2-6 3Pt, 4-5 FT), seven rebounds, three assists and one block in 34 minutes. Embiid himself posted on social media that he's going to play, but several beat reporters have shut down that notion. Adem Bona and Andre Drummond will likely pick up some minutes with Embiid on the shelf.

  • Lakers' Deandre Ayton: Just misses double-double in win

    Ayton had 18 points (8-13 FG, 2-3 FT), nine rebounds, one assist, one block and one steal in 28 minutes during Tuesday's 127-113 win over the Cavaliers.

    It was Ayton's best scoring effort since March 12 as he moves past a back issue that sidelined him last Wednesday and limited him to 22 minutes in each of his prior two games. The 27-year-old center's production was inconsistent in March, even when healthy, as he averaged 11.1 points, 7.8 boards, 1.1 blocks and 0.9 assists in 25.5 minutes over 15 appearances, but he did shoot 73.3 percent from the floor.

  • Cavaliers' Thomas Bryant: Productive in Tuesday's loss

    Bryant finished with 14 points (5-7 FG, 3-4 3Pt, 1-2 FT), six rebounds and one block over 25 minutes off the bench during Tuesday's 127-113 loss to the Lakers.

    It was the first time since March 13 that Bryant had played 20 or more minutes, as the Cavaliers emptied their bench with the Lakers up 110-83 heading into the fourth quarter. The 28-year-old journeyman responded with his best scoring effort since Dec. 23 while tying his season high in made three-pointers. Bryant has had a steady role in the Cavaliers' frontcourt since the All-Star break, and over the last 17 games, he's averaging 15.6 minutes while contributing 8.4 points, 4.4 boards, 1.0 threes and 1.0 combined blocks and steals.

  • Cavaliers' Jarrett Allen: Drops team-high 18 in loss

    Allen closed Tuesday's 127-113 loss to the Lakers with 18 points (9-11 FG, 0-2 FT), four rebounds, two assists and one steal in 19 minutes.

    The Cavaliers emptied their bench in the fourth quarter with the Lakers up 110-83, but Allen still led his team in scoring despite his reduced workload. The 27-year-old center also sat out the front end of Cleveland's back-to-back Monday as he works his way back from a knee injury and played just 18 minutes in his return Friday. The team's priority will be to make sure he's 100 percent for the playoffs. Allen may not get much more court time Thursday in a road clash with the Warriors.

  • Myles Turner C | MIL

    Bucks' Myles Turner: Stuffs stat sheet in win

    Turner finished Tuesday's 123-99 victory over the Mavericks with 10 points (3-8 FG, 3-6 3Pt, 1-2 FT), eight rebounds, two assists, four blocks and one steal over 27 minutes.

    Turner delivered a loaded stat line with at least two tallies in four of the five major categories, but overall, this has been a disappointing season for the former Pacers big man. He's had issues adjusting to the offense, and his numbers have taken a drastic hit as a result. Turner has averaged 11.9 points, 5.3 rebounds and 1.6 blocks per game in 2025-26, and he's experiencing a marked decrease in each of those categories compared to the previous seasons.

  • Moussa Cisse C | DAL

    Mavericks' Moussa Cisse: Productive defensively in loss

    Cisse closed with eight points (4-7 FG), 13 rebounds, two blocks and three steals over 22 minutes during Tuesday's 123-99 loss to Milwaukee.

    Cisse didn't provide much on offense, although he made his presence felt, considering he didn't have many touches. His real fantasy value came on the defensive end and as a rebounder. In three appearances in March, Cisse racked up 32 rebounds, four steals and five blocks while scoring 14 points on 7-for-13 shooting. He won't be a game-changer in most fantasy formats with the playoffs about to end, but he could be useful in category-based leagues for managers looking to bolster their frontcourt via a streaming alternative.

  • Trail Blazers' Donovan Clingan: Struggles again in victory

    Clingan closed with four points (2-5 FG, 0-2 3Pt), four rebounds, one assist, one block and one steal over 29 minutes during Tuesday's 114-104 win over the Clippers.

    The Trail Blazers have rattled off two consecutive victories without Clingan's usual production. The prolific rebounder has recorded a paltry nine boards over the past two contests, well below his seasonal average of 11.6 rebounds per game. While others have picked up the slack, the team lacks a key element of their success without Clingan's proficiency on the glass. He'll take a day off and try to right the ship Thursday against the Pelicans.

  • Magic's Wendell Carter: Posts double-double

    Carter recorded 15 points (4-7 FG, 1-1 3Pt, 6-7 FT), 12 rebounds and two steals across 28 minutes during Tuesday's 115-111 win over the Suns.

    Carter was efficient on both ends of the court and posted his second double-double over the last three games. While Carter's upside on offense is being the team's No. 3 option in a best-case scenario, he ultimately produces enough even in a limited role to be considered a strong fantasy option. Carter ended March scoring in double digits in nine of his last 10 appearances, averaging 13.6 points, 7.3 rebounds, 1.6 assists and 1.0 steals per contest.

  • Clint Capela C | HOU

    Rockets' Clint Capela: Fails to score in victory

    Capela contributed zero points (0-1 FG), two rebounds and one assist across 12 minutes during Tuesday's 111-94 victory over the Knicks.

    Capela's role, although relatively secure, is certainly not that of a player aspiring to be a starter in the NBA. Now toward the backend of his career, Capela is really the only option Houston has in terms of a backup center. While he can provide sporadic contributions in both rebounds and blocks, his production has been far too inconsistent to warrant fantasy attention.
