Dillingham (knee) is probable for Friday's game against Oklahoma City.

Dillingham is expected to be available for the first half of this back-to-back set. The guard has averaged 13.1 points, 3.4 assists, 2.4 rebounds and 1.0 steals in 23.9 minutes per contest in his last seven games.

Okoro (knee) is probable for Friday's game in Oklahoma City.

Okoro logged 23 minutes off the bench in his return from a seven-game absence during Wednesday's loss to the 76ers, so it'll be interesting to see if his minutes are expanded for Friday's game, which will be the first of a back-to-back set. Check back for official confirmation on Okoro's status closer to tipoff.

Simons (wrist) is doubtful for Friday's game against the Thunder.

Simons hasn't take the court since Feb. 21 while recovering from a fractured left wrist. His next opportunity to suit up will arrive Saturday in Memphis.

Miller (back) is questionable for Friday's game against the Pacers, Law Murray of The Athletic reports.

Miller was held out of Wednesday's game due to back soreness, and he's been given a questionable tag leading up to Friday's matchup. Expect another update from the team closer to game time.

Suggs (illness) is available for Thursday's game against the Kings, Marc J. Spears of ESPN.com reports.

After missing two contests with an illness, Suggs is ready to return Thursday. Fewer minutes will be needed from Jamal Cain and Jevon Carter versus Sacramento. Over his last eight appearances, Suggs has averaged 14.9 points, 4.8 assists, 3.8 rebounds and 1.6 steals in 30.1 minutes per game.

Strus (rest) has been removed from the injury report ahead of Friday's meeting with Miami.

Strus sat out Wednesday's game for rest purposes with that one coming as the second in a back-to-back set, but he'll be back in action Friday night. With Strus active, Nae'Qwan Tomlin's minutes could dip a bit.

Wade (ankle) is out for Friday's game against the Heat.

Wade will miss a second consecutive matchup while nursing a right ankle sprain. Sam Merrill started in his place Wednesday and should be considered the favorite to do so again Friday in Wade's place.

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.

Tyson is out for Friday's game against the Heat with a left toe bone bruise.

Friday will mark a fourth consecutive absence for Tyson, whose next chance to play comes Monday against the Jazz in Utah. Sam Merrill should be more involved versus Miami and is worth streaming consideration in most fantasy leagues.

Toppin is questionable for Friday's game against the Clippers due to low back soreness.

Toppin was listed as questionable ahead of Wednesday's game, so it's slightly concerning that he's been downgraded to questionable leading up to Friday. The Pacers will presumably re-evaluate the Dayton product again Friday morning before providing an update on his availability.
