We have eight games on Saturday's NBA slate, with action getting started early and just one nationally televised contest on NBATV. Here's a look at the day's injury report, along with the relevant fantasy and betting implications.
NBA Injury Report: March 18
Jalen Brunson (foot) – questionable
If Brunson plays, he'll be making a return after missing five out of the last six games. If he remains out, Immanuel Quickley will continue to start for New York.
Jalen Suggs (concussion) – OUT
This is tough because Suggs was playing well lately. Cole Anthony and Markelle Fultz will headline the guard rotation Saturday.
Kawhi Leonard (injury management) – OUT
It's a back-to-back set for LA, so Leonard is out for the first game. Paul George will be the focal point for the Clippers offensively.
Joel Embiid (injury management) – TBD
James Harden (injury management) – TBD
Tyrese Maxey (injury management) – TBD
Jalen McDaniels (hip) – questionable
We'll see how Philly plays this on the second night of a back-to-back set.
Rudy Gobert (ankle) – TBD
Naz Reid (calf) – TBD
Anthony Edwards (ankle) – TBD
Edwards suffered his injury Friday and will likely sit. Jaden McDaniels and Taurean Prince would have a bigger role if that happens. If either big man sits, Luka Garza should see solid minutes in this rotation.
Kyle Kuzma (knee) – TBD
We'll see if Kuzma plays on the second night of a back-to-back set. If he sits, that means more shots for Bradley Beal and Kristaps Porzingis.
Kyle Lowry (knee) – questionable
If Lowry doesn't play, Gabe Vincent will see more minutes at point guard. Tyler Herro will also get touches as a creator.
DeMar DeRozan (injury management) – TBD
Zach LaVine (injury management) – TBD
We'll see if the Bulls guards play on the second night of a back-to-back set.
Stephen Curry (thumb) – TBD
Kevon Looney (back) – TBD
Draymond Green (technicals) – available
Klay Thompson (injury management) – TBD
Green should be back in after serving his suspension Friday. We'll see how the other guys are handled later in the day.
Jayson Tatum (hip) – TBD
Marcus Smart (illness) – TBD
Malcolm Brogdon (Achilles) – TBD
Al Horford (injury management) – TBD
We'll see how the Celtics play this. Horford and Brogdon are the most likely candidates to sit this one.
Jordan Clarkson (finger) – questionable
Ochai Agbaji is going to see heavy minutes for Utah regardless of Clarkson's status.
