Gilbert Arenas - G - Magic

Gilbert Arenas was a late scratch on Friday with a sore left knee.
He's been useless in Orlando so this shouldn't have many fantasy ramifications, although Jason Richardson should log heavy minutes in his (and J.J. Redick's) absence tonight. Mar. 18 - 7:08 p.m. ET

Andray Blatche - F/C - Wizards

Andray Blatche did not have an MRI on his shoulder after all -- doctors determined that he is improving, but he's not ready to play and will be inactive on Friday.
We weren't optimistic that Blatche would play tonight, but this leaves fantasy owners in an awkward situation, unsure whether to cut him or hang onto him for next week. Stay tuned, as hopefully we'll get some more concrete information over the weekend. Mar. 18 - 7:05 p.m. ET

Rashard Lewis - F - Wizards

Rashard Lewis (knee) had a platelet-rich plasma injection on Friday, and Wizards coach Flip Saunders "all but ruled out" a return this season.
Lewis will officially miss at least two weeks, and fantasy owners should obviously consider him a lost cause. Hopefully the veteran SF will return healthy and ready to go next season. Mar. 18 - 6:59 p.m. ET

Nick Young - G/F - Wizards

Contrary to early indications, Nick Young (knee) will not play on Friday vs. the Raptors.
Young was sore during shootaround and may have a bone bruise -- either way, he's out Friday and listed as day-to-day beyond that. Jordan Crawford figures to have a nice game in his absence. Mar. 18 - 6:52 p.m. ET
