2 weeks agoCharlotte Hornets guard
Seth Curry (back) is dealing with some lower back tightness but is considered probable for Friday's game against the Sacramento Kings. He hasn't had much value across any fantasy format until recently, when the Hornets suffered even more hits to their starting lineup. In his last two games, Curry saw 26 minutes or more and slotted into the starting five. He posted 11.5 points, 3.5 assists, 3.0 rebounds, and 1.5 threes per game, which could help any fantasy manager still in their fantasy playoffs.

2 weeks agoCharlotte Hornets center
Mark Williams (back) has been tagged as probable for Friday's matchup with the Sacramento Kings. Across his last 11 games played, Williams has registered double-doubles in nine of them while averaging 15.2 points, 11.2 rebounds, 3.2 assists, and 1.4 blocks per game. Since
LaMelo Ball (ankle) and
Brandon Miller (wrist) both won't return this season, the Hornets have needed offensive firepower from the rest of the lineup. Williams has provided a much-needed inside presence on both ends of the court and is a great play in every fantasy format as long as he's healthy.

2 weeks agoDenver Nuggets center
Nikola Jokic (ankle) is probable for Friday's game against Golden State. After amassing a 61-point, 10-rebound, 10-assist triple-double in the double-overtime win over the Timberwolves on Tuesday, the multi-time MVP didn't suit up the following night versus the San Antonio Spurs.
DeAndre Jordan got the start, with the veteran finishing with 10 points, 17 rebounds, one block, and one steal. With that in mind, if Jokic is good to go on Friday, Jordan isn't worth starting in any fantasy format. The same can be said about
Jalen Pickett and
Hunter Tyson, even if
Aaron Gordon (calf),
Jamal Murray (hamstring), and
Christian Braun (foot) aren't available.

2 weeks agoGolden State Warriors forward
Jonathan Kuminga (pelvis) will play on Thursday versus the Lakers. He took a fall in a recent meeting with the San Antonio Spurs and was ruled out heading into Tuesday's 134-125 win over the Memphis Grizzlies. As a result,
Gui Santos saw a few extra minutes and finished the night with four points, six assists, four rebounds, and two steals. It isn't known if Kuminga's minutes will be scaled back in this one. But his presence should mean Santos will only see 15-20 minutes of action.

2 weeks agoC.J. Holmes of the New York Daily News reports that Brooklyn Nets small forward
Jalen Wilson (ankle) will be in action on Thursday against the Minnesota Timberwolves. The team downgraded Wilson from questionable to out due to right knee soreness. While the 24-year-old is on the shelf, the Nets will likely turn to
Tyrese Martin and
Trendon Watford to absorb some of the now-available minutes for tonight's contest. Watford will likely start with Wilson and
Cameron Johnson (back), who are both sidelined. He's averaged 8.0 points, 3.4 rebounds and 2.8 assists across 24.4 minutes per game in his last five outings.

2 weeks agoWashington Wizards guard/forward
Kyshawn George (ankle) won't play against the Orlando Magic on Thursday. George will be out of action for the sixth consecutive contest due to a sprained left ankle. The 21-year-old rookie has played in 64 games this season, averaging 8.6 points, 4.3 rebounds, 2.5 assists and 1.0 assists across 26.8 minutes per contest. While George is sidelined,
Justin Champagnie will likely take on extra minutes after finishing with eight points, 11 rebounds, three assists, two steals, and one block during 30 minutes of work against the Kings on Wednesday.

2 weeks agoWashington Wizards center
Richaun Holmes (shoulder) is unavailable for Thursday's matchup with the Orlando Magic. The 31-year-old will be out of action due to a right shoulder contusion. Holmes exited Wednesday's games against the Sacramento Kings after sustaining the injury. He posted two points during the two minutes he played in. His next chance to return to the floor is an away game against the Celtics in Boston on Sunday.
--Andrew Lennox - RotoBallerSource: NBA Injury Report
2 weeks agoWashington Wizards forward
Khris Middleton (ankle) is unavailable for Thursday's game against the Orlando Magic. Middleton will miss his fourth consecutive contest due to a right knee contusion. He last played on March 27 versus the Pacers and finished with eight points, one rebound and two assists across 14 minutes on the floor. His next chance to suit up comes on Sunday versus the Boston Celtics.

2 weeks agoBrooklyn Nets guard
D'Angelo Russell (ankle) will play on Thursday versus Minnesota. The veteran continues to appear on the injury report because of a sore ankle. Yet, he was able to suit up for Monday's win over the Dallas Mavericks, finishing with 18 points, 11 assists, two steals, and one block. With
Cameron Johnson (back) ruled out, Russell should be one of the Nets' top producers on Thursday evening.

2 weeks agoBrooklyn Nets forward
Noah Clowney (ankle) will miss the remainder of the year. He averaged 9.1 points and 3.9 rebounds this season, an improvement from the 2023-24 campaign. Unfortunately, Clowney was limited to 46 games, mostly due to bilateral ankle issues. With the Nets looking to bolster the roster heading into next season, it's unknown how Clowney will fit into the rotation. However, outside of his injury woes, he appears to be trending in the right direction regarding his development. As a result, dynasty managers shouldn't accept any low-ball offers for the 20-year-old. In the meantime,
Trendon Watford should see more minutes moving ahead.

2 weeks agoWashington Wizards guard
Jordan Poole (elbow) is unavailable for Thursday's matchup with the Orlando Magic. The 25-year-old will be sidelined for the first time since March 5 due to an elbow issue. Poole played on Wednesday against the Kings and posted 23 points, two rebounds and two assists across 24 minutes. His next chance to play is Sunday against the Boston Celtics.
Marcus Smart and
Bub Carrington will likely absorb most of the available minutes in the backcourt this evening.

2 weeks agoToronto Raptors forward
Scottie Barnes (hand) is available for Thursday's game against the Trail Blazers. The 23-year-old has been bothered by a contusion on his right hand, which has undoubtedly impacted his shooting numbers of late. It's unknown how much action Barnes will continue to receive heading toward the end of the 2024-25 campaign. But as far as Thursday night is concerned, the absences of
Gradey Dick (knee),
Jakob Poeltl (rest), and
Immanuel Quickley (rest) should keep Barnes busy on both ends of the floor.

2 weeks agoAccording to ESPN's Shams Charania, Philadelphia 76ers point guard
Tyrese Maxey (finger) will miss the rest of the 2024-25 season. Maxey has been out of action since March due to a sprained right finger. The Sixers are being cautious shutting down Maxey with only six games left on their schedule since he is still dealing with discomfort. The 24-year-old joins
Joel Embiid (knee),
Paul George (groin), and
Jared McCain (knee), who are already out for the remainder of the season. Lonnie Walker,
Quentin Grimes, and
Jared Butler will continue to see an uptick in minutes down the stretch.

2 weeks agoPortland Trail Blazers guard
Anfernee Simons (forearm) is listed as questionable on the injury report ahead of Thursday's encounter with the Toronto Raptors. A contusion on his right forearm might sideline Simons for a second consecutive game. With
Scoot Henderson (concussion) also on the shelf,
Dalano Banton was promoted to the first unit Tuesday night against the Atlanta Hawks. He produced a solid line in the game with 11 points, seven rebounds, five assists, and four blocks. It appears that Banton may have a large role to play again on Thursday against his hometown team.

2 weeks agoPortland Trail Blazers guard
Scoot Henderson (concussion) will remain sidelined for Thursday's meeting with the Toronto Raptors. He is still in concussion protocol, sitting out a third consecutive game. With Henderson no longer in the lineup,
Dalano Banton has taken on a larger role. He was busy at both ends in Tuesday's 127-113 win over the Atlanta Hawks, although a 4-for-15 effort from the field limited Banton's scoring output. He finished with 11 points, seven rebounds, five assists, and four blocks.
