Sarr (toe) will play Friday against the Warriors.

Sarr is set to return after a pair of games on the sidelines. Given how the Wizards have handled recent games, Sarr may see a modest workload in his first game back.

Landale (shoulder) is questionable for Friday's game against Boston.

Landale was a late addition to the injury report for Friday. If he's unable to suit up, the Hawks could turn to Mouhamed Gueye as their backup center.

Allen (knee) is probable for Friday's game against the Heat.

Allen is trending toward a return after being on the sidelines since March 3. After such a lengthy rehab, it's possible he'll face restrictions in his first game back. Thomas Bryant is likely to see less minutes with this news.

Queta (thumb) will play Friday against the Hawks, Kevin Chouinard of the Hawks' official site reports.

Queta will shake off a questionable tag for this contest. He's been terrific over his last six contests, averaging 11.0 points, 7.7 rebounds, 2.7 assists and 0.8 blocks in 27.9 minutes per contest.

Raynaud notched 10 points (4-9 FG, 0-1 3Pt, 2-2 FT), seven rebounds, three assists and three steals in 39 minutes during Thursday's 121-117 loss to the Magic.

The rookie out of Stanford took a step back from his recent performances, and this was his lowest scoring output over his last five appearances. The big man is firmly entrenched as a starter since Domantas Sabonis (knee) is out for the season, and he's making the most of the opportunity. He has scored in double digits in all but two of his 18 games since the All-Star break while posting seven double-doubles in that span.

Carter finished with 10 points (3-8 FG, 0-2 3Pt, 4-6 FT), 11 rebounds, one block and one steal in 35 minutes during Thursday's 121-117 win over the Kings.

Carter didn't have his best shooting performance, particularly considering that he plays near the rim as a center, but he still posted a decent output. This was his first double-double since March 12, when he had 19 points and 11 rebounds in a win over the Wizards, and his fifth since the All-Star break. It's worth noting that Carter has now scored in double digits in each of his last nine appearances as well.

Queen finished with 11 points (5-13 FG, 0-2 3Pt, 1-3 FT), 11 rebounds, two assists and one steal in 21 minutes during Thursday's 129-108 loss to the Pistons.

Queen was one of the lone bright spots for the Pelicans in a blowout loss. He reached double digits in the scoring column after being held to nine points or fewer in three straight games, and he nabbed his first double-double since Jan. 16. Despite a solid night, consistent production has been tough to come by for the rookie, who has seen north of 20 minutes only five times in 13 March showings.

Duren closed Thursday's 129-108 victory over the Pelicans with 30 points (10-12 FG, 10-12 FT), 10 rebounds, seven assists, two blocks and two steals across 31 minutes.

Duren was clearly the star of the show Thursday evening, as he led the Pistons in scoring and rebounding and tied Ausar Thompson for the team lead in swats. He also impressed as a playmaker by dishing out a season-high seven dimes. Duren has stepped up in a big way while Detroit has been without Cade Cunningham (chest) and has put up 20-plus points in five consecutive showings, securing four double-doubles during this span.

Williams (knee) is questionable to play Friday versus the Mavericks.

Williams logged only 13 minutes in Wednesday's win over Milwaukee, and Friday's game is not part of a back-to-back set, so it would be somewhat surprising to see Williams receive a rest day. However, if he is ruled out, that will open up minutes for Yang Hansen.

Post (foot) has been ruled out for Friday's game against the Wizards.

Post is slated for a third straight absence due to right foot injury management. Al Horford (calf) has also been downgraded to out Friday, which could once again open up more chances for Omer Yurtseven and Malevy Leons in the frontcourt.
