Grizzlies' Olivier-Maxence Prosper: Doubtful for Friday
Prosper (back) is doubtful for Friday's game against the Raptors.
Prosper is likely to miss Friday's contest due to lower-back soreness, which would mark his second absence in a three-game span. Taylor Hendricks and Rayan Rupert would be candidates to see increased playing time if Prosper is unable to suit up.

Grizzlies' Taylor Hendricks: Good to go for Friday
Hendricks (finger) is off the injury report for Friday's game against Toronto.
Following a one-game absence with a finger injury during Wednesday's loss to New York, Hendricks is available for Friday's action. Over his last 10 appearances, the third-year forward has averaged 10.0 points, 4.8 rebounds, 1.8 steals and 1.2 blocks in 25.4 minutes per game.

Jazz's Blake Hinson: Sitting out Friday
The Jazz list Hinson (two-way) as out for Friday's game in Houston.
Utah will hold Hinson out for a fifth consecutive game in an effort to manage his availability for the remainder of the season while he's signed to a two-way contract. After Friday, Hinson will be eligible to play in each of Utah's remaining four games.

Jazz's Keyonte George: Won't play Friday
George (hamstring) has been ruled out for Friday's game against the Rockets.
George will miss a 12th consecutive contest due to a right hamstring strain and is without a clear timetable for a return. The third-year point guard should be considered doubtful for future contests until the Jazz offer an update on his progress. With Isaiah Collier (hamstring) and Elijah Harkless (hamstring) also sidelined, Kennedy Chandler and Bez Mbeng should continue seeing significant minutes.

Bucks' Jericho Sims: Expected to play Friday
Sims (knee) is listed as probable for Friday's game against Boston.
Sims has started in the Bucks' last three contests, most recently finishing with six points, 20 rebounds and two assists in Wednesday's loss to the Houston Rockets. While the 27-year-old is expected to suit up versus the Celtics, it's unknown if he'll remain in the starting lineup, considering Kyle Kuzma and Myles Turner are off the injury report.

EJ Harkless SG | UTA
Jazz's Elijah Harkless: Won't go vs. Rockets
Harkless (hamstring) is out for Friday's game against Houston.
Harkless will miss a third straight game while dealing with a left hamstring strain. Isaiah Collier (hamstring) and Keyonte George (hamstring) are also out, leaving Kennedy Chandler and Bez Mbeng to shoulder the majority of the minutes in the backcourt.

Mark Williams C | PHO
Suns' Mark Williams: Good to go Thursday
Williams (foot) has been cleared to play Thursday against Charlotte, Duane Rankin of The Arizona Republic reports.
Williams appeared to be trending in the right direction leading up to tipoff, and the team has since officially declared him available for Thursday's clash, which will mark the big man's first action since March 3. The Duke product has missed nearly a month while recovering from a stress reaction in his left foot, so it's not clear if he'll immediately return to the starting five or if Phoenix will elect to ease him back into live action.

Gary Harris SG | MIL
Bucks' Gary Harris: Off injury report
Harris (personal) isn't listed on the injury report for Friday's game against the Celtics.
Before missing the last four games for personal reasons, Harris was sidelined for the prior three due to a groin injury. He's off the injury report ahead of Friday's contest, but he isn't guaranteed meaningful playing time.
