Gary Trent Jr. SF | MIL
Bucks' Gary Trent: Sidelined against Brooklyn
Trent (oblique) is listed as out for Friday's game against Brooklyn.
Trent missed three consecutive contests before suiting up for Wednesday's 137-111 loss to Detroit, finishing with seven points and one assist. However, the veteran won't play Friday. With Trent out of commission, AJ Green and Cormac Ryan will presumably continue to see more action.

Klay Thompson SG | DAL
Mavericks' Klay Thompson: Available for Friday
Thompson (rest) will play Friday against the Spurs.
Thompson received a rest day Wednesday against the Suns, but he'll be back on the court Friday after being omitted from the team's injury report. The veteran forward is averaging 10.4 points, 1.6 rebounds and 2.2 assists over his last five appearances, all off the bench.

Kyle Kuzma PF | MIL
Bucks' Kyle Kuzma: Off injury report
Kuzma (Achilles) isn't listed on the injury report for Friday's game against the Nets.
Kuzma is set to return from a two-game absence due to a right Achilles issue, which will leave fewer minutes available for guys like Pete Nance, Andre Jackson and Taurean Prince. Kuzma has averaged 13.8 points, 4.8 rebounds, 2.8 assists and 1.0 steals in 22.6 minutes per contest over his last five appearances.

Naji Marshall SG | DAL
Mavericks' Naji Marshall: Tagged doubtful for Friday
Marshall (hip) is doubtful for Friday's game against San Antonio.
Marshall suffered a left hip injury during Tuesday's clash against the Clippers and was forced to sit out Wednesday's game as a result of the injury. It appears he'll need even more time to recover after being listed as doubtful for Friday, which would mean more playing time for Klay Thompson, Khris Middleton and Tyler Smith in the frontcourt. Expect another update on Marshall's status closer to tipoff.

Caleb Martin SF | DAL
Mavericks' Caleb Martin: Doubtful for Friday
Martin is doubtful for Friday's game versus San Antonio due to a strained right heel.
The veteran swingman is running out of time to return during the regular season due to the heel injury, which has kept him sidelined for 12 consecutive games. Khris Middleton and Klay Thompson would be candidates for a slight bump in playing time if Martin is ultimately ruled out.
-
Bobby Portis PF | MIL
Bucks' Bobby Portis: Remaining out Friday
Portis is listed as out for Friday's game against the Nets.
Portis has already missed the last nine games. With only one more chance to suit up after Friday's contest, it looks like the 31-year-old won't be back on the floor again this season. While Portis remains sidelined, Pete Nance and Jericho Sims could continue to see more work.

Daniel Gafford C | DAL
Mavericks' Daniel Gafford: Unlikely to play Friday
Gafford is doubtful for Friday's game versus San Antonio.
The Mavericks expect Gafford to miss a third straight game due to a right shoulder impingement. Marvin Bagley should start at center Friday, making him a worthwhile streaming candidate in all fantasy leagues after posting at least 20 points and eight rebounds in three of his past four appearances.
-
PJ Washington PF | DAL
Mavericks' P.J. Washington: Unlikely to suit up vs. Spurs
Washington (elbow) is doubtful for Friday's game against San Antonio.
Washington is in danger of missing his third game in a row after picking up a left elbow sprain. Khris Middleton, Klay Thompson and Tyler Smith would be in line for more minutes if Washington is downgraded to out before Friday's matchup.
-
Cooper Flagg SF | DAL
Mavericks' Cooper Flagg: Probable for Friday
Flagg is probable for Friday's game against the Spurs due to a left wrist sprain.
Flagg was also added to the injury report as probable ahead of Wednesday's game against Phoenix before ultimately getting the green light to play, so this appears to be a precautionary listing. The Mavericks should have confirmation on his status as tipoff approaches.
-
Myles Turner C | MIL
Bucks' Myles Turner: Absent from injury report
Turner (ankle) is off the injury report for Friday's game against Brooklyn.
After sitting out Wednesday's loss to the Pistons, Turner is available for Milwaukee's last home game of the regular season. The star big man has averaged 9.3 points, 4.6 rebounds, 1.9 blocks and 1.0 steals in 22.1 minutes per contest over his last seven games.
