• Remains out Friday
    Herro (foot) won't play in Friday's game versus the Trail Blazers, Tim Reynolds of Associated Press reports.

    Advice: Herro's absence streak will extend to 16 games Friday due to right foot tendinitis. However, the 23-year-old guard is ramping up toward a return, with Sunday's matchup with Washington being his next chance to take the floor. Rotowire.com Today, 10:53 am
     
  • Misses out on double-double
    Sexton logged 26 points (11-20 FG, 2-6 3Pt, 2-2 FT), two rebounds, nine assists, one block and two steals in 38 minutes during Wednesday's 118-111 loss to San Antonio.

    Advice: Sexton's 26 points marked his highest-scoring output since March 4 during Wednesday's loss. The 24-year-old guard also tallied a team-high nine assists. Sexton has displayed impressive efficiency across his 13 appearances in March, posting 52.8/41.9/88.9 shooting splits. Rotowire.com Today, 10:15 am
  • Still dealing with back issue
    Murray is questionable for Thursday's game against the Celtics due to lower back soreness, Brad Rowland of the Locked On Podcast Network reports.

    Advice: Murray continues to deal with the back issue but hasn't missed a game since Feb. 9. Thursday's contest is the second half of a back-to-back set, and the point guard posted 30 points (13-20 FG), seven assists, three rebounds, two steals and two blocks in 35 minutes during Wednesday's win over Portland. If Murray takes a seat, Trent Forrest, Garrison Mathews and Wesley Matthews would be candidates for increased minutes, but Bogdan Bogdanovic would likely start at point guard.

  • Dejounte Murray (back) questionable vs. Boston
    Dejounte Murray (lower back soreness) is questionable to play against Boston on Thursday.

    Advice: Murray played through this back issue on Wednesday, but it didn’t limit his production whatsoever. However, if he sits out this game, there will be plenty of open minutes to be filled. Trent Forrest will likely fill that void and could provide decent value in extended minutes, especially with only two games being played. Bogdan Bogdanovic and Vit Krejci would likely take on the playmaking duties. Rotoworld Today, 10:03 am
  • Patrick Beverley (wrist) probable vs. Pelicans
    Patrick Beverley (right wrist sprain) is probable to play against the Pelicans on Thursday.

    Advice: Pat Bev sat out against the Lakers on Tuesday, but he should be back in the lineup against New Orleans. AJ Green and Pat Connaughton filled the reserve backcourt minutes in his absence, but both players will lose out on some court time with Beverley expected to return. Rotoworld Today, 9:47 am
  • All-around performance in win
    Sochan ended Wednesday's 118-111 win over the Jazz with 17 points (7-16 FG, 2-7 3Pt, 1-2 FT), nine rebounds, two assists, one block and five steals over 36 minutes.

    Advice: Sochan recorded a season-high five steals during Wednesday's win over the Jazz. Despite struggling with his efficiency, the 20-year-old forward was one rebound shy of posting his second straight double-double. Sochan has helped form a formidable defensive frontcourt alongside Victor Wembanyama. Rotowire.com Today, 9:46 am
  • Records monster double-double
    Thompson had 25 points (10-18 FG, 0-1 3Pt, 5-6 FT), 15 rebounds, four assists and one steal in 39 minutes during Wednesday's 132-126 overtime win over the Thunder.

    Advice: Thompson moved to the starting lineup on March 12 and has looked productive, showing the ability to make an impact on both ends of the court. He has three double-doubles in his last eight starts, and he should remain a reliable two-way presence for an on-the-rise Rockets team. Thompson is averaging 15.4 points, 8.8 rebounds, 2.6 assists and 1.1 steals per game during Houston's ongoing 10-game winning streak. Rotowire.com Today, 9:45 am
     
  • Ramping up, still no timetable
    Coach Erik Spoelstra said Thursday that Herro (foot) has progressed to the next stage of his rehab and is beginning to ramp up his conditioning, Wes Goldberg of the Locked On Podcast Network reports.

    Advice: Herro was present and getting shots up during the media portion of Thursday's practice, but his status for Friday's game against the Trail Blazers remains unclear. The sharpshooter has missed 15 straight games due to right foot tendinitis, so even if he gets the green light soon, he will likely be limited for at least a few games to avoid a setback. However, it sounds like Herro is on track to be 100 percent by the time the Play-In Tournament begins, which begins April 16. Rotowire.com Today, 9:43 am
     
  • Scores 17 points off bench
    Joe posted 17 points (6-10 FG, 4-6 3Pt, 1-1 FT), three rebounds and six assists over 33 minutes during Wednesday's 132-126 overtime loss to the Rockets.

    Advice: Joe grabbed headlines Wednesday following a posterizing dunk on Jeff Green, but he did more than that, and he was actually one of the Thunder's most productive players in this loss despite coming off the bench. Joe has scored in double digits in just three of his 13 appearances this month, however, so he doesn't carry a lot of upside heading into the final weeks of the regular season.
