Jarace Walker

IND Forward #5

Personalize your Rotoworld feed by favoriting players
Jarace Walker (concussion) and Obi Toppin (back) are questionable for Sunday’s game against the Heat.

Walker had to leave Friday’s loss to the Clippers in the first quarter, as he hit his head on the court and then the stanchion after being fouled by John Collins on a dunk attempt. If he cannot play on Sunday, Kobe Brown could move into the starting lineup, but Toppin (if available) offers greater fantasy upside. Toppin played 23 minutes on Friday, the most for him since returning from the foot injury that he suffered in late October.

Tim Hardaway

DEN Guard-Forward #10

Personalize your Rotoworld feed by favoriting players

Tim Hardaway Jr. (knee) is available for Saturday’s game against the Spurs.

Hardaway was a full participant in Friday’s practice and is now good to go. He’ll provide production off the bench and is a worthwhile option for deep-league managers who need three-pointers.

April 3, 2026 11:37 PM

Luguentz Dort

OKC Guard #5
Luguentz Dort (back) and Alex Caruso (illness) were present at Saturday’s practice.

Caruso did not play in Thursday’s win over the Lakers, while Dort injured his back during the third quarter and did not return. Their ability to practice is certainly encouraging, with the Thunder facing the Jazz on Sunday.

Paul George

PHI Forward #8

Paul George (knee) is probable for Saturday’s game against the Pistons.

George is probable for injury management reasons, so he should be good to go for Saturday’s matchup. It is part of Philadelphia’s first back-to-back since George returned from his 25-game suspension, so the playing time could take a slight hit. However, as long as he’s on the floor, fantasy managers will receive good value from the veteran forward.

Joel Embiid

PHI Center-Forward #21
Joel Embiid (oblique, illness) is out for Saturday’s game against the Pistons.

Saturday is Philadelphia’s second game in as many nights, so it’s unsurprising that Embiid won’t play. Adem Bona has been the replacement in the starting lineup on most nights, but he was passed in the rotation by Andre Drummond during Friday’s win over the Timberwolves.

Jalen Duren

DET Center #0
Jalen Duren (illness) is questionable for Saturday’s game against the 76ers.

Duren was initially absent from the Pistons’ injury report. If he’s unable to play, Paul Reed would move into the starting lineup, which raises his fantasy ceiling considerably. Tolu Smith would move into the rotation, but he would not be worth the risk in fantasy leagues.

Tyler Herro

MIA Guard #14

Tyler Herro (foot) is available for Saturday’s game against the Wizards.

Herro was probable for Saturday’s game, so the status upgrade was expected. He’ll take on his usual role as part of the Heat starting lineup.

Alex Sarr

WAS Center #20
Alex Sarr (toe) and Tristan Vukčević (knee) are out for Saturday’s game against the Heat.

While Sarr will miss a fourth consecutive game, Vukčević played just 11 minutes in Wednesday’s loss to the 76ers. The latter’s absence creates a spot in the starting lineup, with Julian Reese and Anthony Gill as potential replacements. Gill played 35 minutes on Wednesday and scored a career-high 21 points. When allowed to start, Reese can provide excellent value.

Justin Champagnie

WAS Guard-Forward #9

Justin Champagnie (knee) is available for Saturday’s game against the Heat.

Added to the Wizards’ injury report on Friday night, Champagnie is set to play on Saturday. He played 21 minutes in Wednesday’s loss to the 76ers and should take on a similar workload against the Heat.

Bilal Coulibaly

WAS Guard #0
Bilal Coulibaly (heel) and Tre Johnson (foot) are available for Saturday’s game against the Heat.

Coulibaly and Johnson are good to go after being considered questionable for Saturday’s game. Both are starters, but the playing time may be a concern. In Wednesday’s loss to the 76ers, Coulibaly played 19 minutes and Johnson played 24. Fantasy managers will hope that both play more in the Wizards’ penultimate game of Week 23.

Malachi Smith

BKN Guard #18

ESPN’s Shams Charania reports that the Nets have signed Malachi Smith to a two-year deal.

Less than 24 hours removed from a 12-point first quarter in a loss to the Hawks, Smith has received a standard contract. That said, he was productive across two 10-day contracts, earning the upgrade to a standard deal. Given the Nets’ injuries on the perimeter, Smith should play rotation minutes over the final eight days of the regular season.
