Cleveland Cavaliers guard/forward Jaylon Tyson (toe) has been named a starter for Friday's matchup with the Atlanta Hawks. This will be his first appearance since March 19. Tyson has missed 10 games due to a toe injury. Max Strus will also join the starting lineup, with Donovan Mitchell (ankle) and Jarrett Allen (knee) out of commission. As a starter, Tyson has averaged 14.8 points, 5.6 rebounds, and 2.6 assists in 29.3 minutes per game this season.

Dallas Mavericks guard/forward Klay Thompson (illness) won't play on Friday night against the San Antonio Spurs. He was a late addition to the injury report due to illness and doesn't feel well enough to help his team. John Poulakidas and Khris Middleton are set to benefit from Thompson's absence. The team is likely to be without several regulars, which will be a further boost for Poulakidas, who had a great outing on Wednesday against Phoenix, scoring a team-high 23 points.

Detroit Pistons guard/forward Kevin Huerter (illness) has been upgraded from probable to available and will make his return from a one-game absence on Friday against the Charlotte Hornets. Huerter's production has recently increased, but that came during Cade Cunningham's absence. The Pistons' leader returned to action on Wednesday against Milwaukee, and Huerter will likely need to adjust to a smaller offensive role in his return to the lineup. Detroit's entire second unit could have a quiet outing, as Charlotte ranks fifth in the league for fewest bench points allowed.

Boston Celtics center Neemias Queta (toe) will be active against the New Orleans Pelicans on Friday. The Portuguese big man has been upgraded from probable to available. After tallying 10 points and 10 rebounds in Thursday's loss to New York, Queta has a chance to record a second consecutive double-double. He is averaging 15.0 points, 8.6 boards, 2.6 assists, and 2.2 blocks in 29.0 minutes per game in April.
