Bassey (ankle) is available for Thursday's game against the Lakers.

Bassey will shake off his probable tag due to a sprained left ankle and suit up for the shorthanded Warriors. The big man logged 27 minutes in Tuesday's win over Sacramento and will likely retain significant playing time due to Kristaps Porzingis (illness), Al Horford (calf) and Quinten Post (foot) being sidelined.

Hartenstein (calf) is listed as out for Friday's game against Denver.

Hartenstein will take the night off to rest his calf. With Chet Holmgren (back) and Jaylin Williams (Achilles) also sidelined, Kenrich Williams and Branden Carlson are in line for more work.

Huff won't start Thursday's game against the Nets.

The 28-year-old center will retreat to the second unit in favor of Micah Potter on Thursday. Huff has averaged 7.0 points, 2.6 rebounds, 1.8 assists and 1.2 blocks in 19.0 minutes per tilt over his last five outings off the bench.

Jokic (wrist) is listed as questionable for Friday's game against Oklahoma City.

Jokic hasn't missed a game in over two months. However, with the Nuggets getting ready for the playoffs, the three-time MVP might not suit up Friday. If Jokic doesn't get on the floor, Jonas Valanciunas will presumably return to the starting lineup for the first time since the 128-125 win over Utah on March 2.

Olbrich (foot) is available for Thursday's game versus Washington.

Bilateral foot soreness won't stop Olbrich from playing Thursday. The rookie big man is set to occupy the backup center role behind Guerschon Yabusele, a role that's seen Olbrich average 6.0 points, 5.5 rebounds, 1.8 assists and 1.0 blocks in 16.5 minutes per contest in his last four games.

Gobert (rest) has been ruled out for Friday's game against the Rockets.

Gobert will sit for a second straight game due to rest purposes. Naz Reid should again see an increased role in Gobert's absence. His next chance to take the court will arrive in Sunday's regular-season finale against the Pelicans.

Queta (toe) is available for Thursday's game against the Knicks, Taylor Snow of the Celtics' official site reports.

Queta is good to go despite nursing a toe sprain Thursday. Over his last five appearances, the standout big man has averaged 16.4 points, 8.2 rebounds, 2.6 assists and 2.4 blocks in 30.0 minutes per contest while shooting a robust 75.0 percent from the field during this stretch.

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.

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.

Wembanyama (ribs) is questionable for Friday's game against the Mavericks, Tom Orsborn of the San Antonio Express-News reports.

Wembanyama suffered a left rib contusion during Monday's game against the 76ers and then sat out Wednesday's matchup with Portland. However, it appears he'll have a chance to take the court Friday night after being upgraded to questionable. The Spurs will likely monitor the star center closely leading up to tipoff before providing an update on his availability.
