A. Davis - PF

LAL

Anthony Davis went off for a season-high 37 points, six rebounds, three assists, two steals and a block in the Lakers 101-90 win over the Bulls.

After a so-so performance against the Bucks on Thursday, AD said, "I think I suck right now. I'm not making shots. I'm not making free throws." A couple of days later, he makes 14-of-21 shots and 7-of-9 free throws en route to his best game of the season and a Lakers win. Davis and his fantasy managers know that he hasn't played up to his standard through 17 games, but maybe tonight's explosion is an indication of what's to come for the superstar big who had an ADP of 3.3 in Yahoo leagues this season.

JaKarr Sampson (lower back) is out for Friday vs. the Jazz.

Sampson hasn't been in the rotation so this doesn't change anything.

D. McDermott - SF

IND

Doug McDermott (ankle) is out for Friday vs. the Jazz.

McDermott will miss his second straight but remains day-to-day. With Myles Turner also out, the Pacers will deploy smaller lineups which benefits guys like Jeremy Lamb and T.J. McConnell.

M. Turner - C

IND

Myles Turner (ankle) will not play on Friday vs. the Jazz.

Turner will miss his sixth straight game but is getting closer -- he was "hopeful" to play in the previous game and was questionable for this one. With Turner out, Goga Bitadze will continue to provide relief behind Domantas Sabonis and the Pacers will deploy smaller lineups with Doug McDermott also out.

D. Favors - C

UTA

Derrick Favors (knee soreness) is out for Friday vs. the Pacers.

This is the front end of a back-to-back so it's likely a maintenance day for the veteran. Ersan Ilyasova and Georges Niang are the candidates to absorb the handful of minutes Favors usually gets, but they are not worth streaming.

J. Clarkson - SG

UTA

Jordan Clarkson (right ankle) is good to go for Friday vs. the Pacers.

The Jazz upgraded him to probable on Thursday so this was the expectation. Clarkson will be returning from a four-game absence but there's no word of any restrictions just yet. Get him back into lineups.

D. Bembry - SF

TOR

DeAndre' Bembry (hamstring) is now questionable for Friday vs. the Magic.

The Raptors have thrown in the towel on the season and aren't even hiding the fact that they are tanking, so they will be resting their regulars often. Bembry could emerge with deep-league value so just keep a close eye on his workload.

H. Diallo - SG

DET

Hamidou Diallo is questionable vs. the Thunder on Friday with right knee soreness.

This is the front end of a back-to-back so the Pistons may be looking to get him a maintenance day. Diallo's minutes are down anyways, playing 19 or fewer in five straight. Josh Jackson and Frank Jackson would likely pick up some run if Diallo sits as the Pistons are going to be without several players tonight for the good of the tank.

L. Ball - PG

NOP

Lonzo Ball (left hip flexor) is available for Friday vs. the Wizards.

Lonzo was previously listed as probable and will officially return from a 4-game absence. He's had some terrible luck in the injury department so the Pelicans will likely ease him back into things. Naji Marshall is the biggest loser with this news after playing over 30 minutes in two of his previous three games.

A. Burks - SG

NYK

Alec Burks (protocols) will not play on Friday vs. the Mavericks.

It's unclear just how long Burks will be out but fantasy managers in the middle of playoffs may need to drop here. Reggie Bullock's floor is higher with this news, and Burks' absence should open the door for guys like Derrick Rose and Immanuel Quickley to get more run.

D. Cousins - C

LAC

DeMarcus Cousins will sign a second 10-day contract with the Clippers.

He'll be available for Friday vs. the 76ers. Cousins has only reached double digit minutes just once since arriving and has little to no fantasy value.

D. Cannady - PG

The Magic will sign Devin Cannady to a two-way contract.

The point guard has played a total of 14 minutes across three appearances and is miles off the fantasy radar.

M. Gasol - C

LAL

Marc Gasol has been diagnosed with a fractured left pinkie finger.

Gasol said that he will "hopefully" be able to play Saturday vs. the Jazz and the Lakers will list him as questionable. “It’s my left hand, I don’t use it much anyway, so we’ll see," he said. Gasol has played really well in the absence on Andre Drummond (toe), but Drummond is said to be day-to-day and Anthony Davis is targeting April 22nd. Gasol's outlook is pretty bleak.
