3 days agoDenver Nuggets guard
Jamal Murray (ankle) is expected to miss "multiple games" with an ankle injury. Murray turned his ankle on Wednesday and was in visible pain. X-Rays and an MRI both came back clean, but the Denver guard is still expected to be out for the foreseeable future.
Monte Morris is the clear-cut winner here while
P.J. Dozier will get the backup minutes at point.

Marcus Morris (neck) will return from a five-game absence, but guard
Reggie Bullock (neck) will not be able to go against the Phoenix Suns Thursday. Bullock was holding onto the starting spot with Morris out, so Morris will return to his normal starting role here. With Bullock out,
Kadeem Allen and
Kevin Knox will get some added minutes, but neither are recommended plays outside of very deep leagues.

Jaylen Brown (thumb) will not play Thursday against the Milwaukee Bucks. Brown is battling a thumb sprain and was originally listed as questionable to play. Brown's absence will leave more minutes for
Marcus Smart who could have a tall task in helping on
Giannis Antetokounmpo on defense. Brown's injury is not deemed serious and he will likely be considered questionable for their next game on Saturday.

3 days agoOrlando Magic guard
D.J. Augustin (knee) has been ruled out for Thursday's game against the Los Angeles Clippers. Augustin had an MRI taken of his knee on Wednesday, but the results haven't been revealed yet.
Markelle Fultz will continue to see increased value and minutes with the Magic banged up. He's looking like a solid DFS choice for Thursday's slate.

3 days agoMinnesota Timberwolves center
Karl-Anthony Towns (knee) is listed as questionable for Friday's game against the Indiana Pacers. It's unclear when Towns is going to get back on the court. He's been sidelined since December and hasn't shown any signs of returning.
Gorgui Dieng will continue to hold reliable fantasy value until Towns is back.

3 days agoMinnesota Timberwolves guards
Jeff Teague and
Treveon Graham have been traded to the Atlanta Hawks in exchange for
Allen Crabbe. The change of scenery might be nice for Teague, but won't do much to help his fantasy value. He'll likely be backing up
Trae Young off the bench.
Deandre Bembry and
Kevin Huerter could lose some minutes and value with the arrival of Teague and Graham. Crabbe won't have much value in Minnesota, but
Jarrett Culver and
Shabazz Napier will gain value. Both Graham and Crabbe can be left on the waiver wire. Teague might get a slight increase in value, but this trade doesn't change too much in terms of fantasy production.

3 days agoPhoenix Suns guard
Ricky Rubio (personal) will play in Thursday's game against the New York Knicks. He missed their last game due to the birth of his child. Rubio is back with the team and isn't expected to be limited at all.
Elie Okobo will head back to the second unit and won't have as much value on the bench.

3 days agoNew Orleans Pelicans forward
Brandon Ingram (knee) said he felt good through shootaround, but remains listed as a game-time decision for Thursday's game against the Utah Jazz. He's been dealing with right knee soreness, but appears to be getting closer to a return. Fantasy owners will have to check back closer to game time for more information. It's unclear at the moment whether or not Ingram will be limited if he does return on Thursday.

3 days agoNew Orleans Pelicans forward
Derrick Favors (hamstring) said he will play in Thursday's game against the Utah Jazz. He's dealing with a right hamstring strain, but it will cost him two games.
Jahlil Okafor and
Jaxson Hayes will lose most of their streaming appeal with Favors back in the mix. Favors shouldn't be limited and can be plugged back into fantasy lineups for Thursday's slate.
--Andy Webb - RotoBallerSource: Scott Kushner
3 days agoNew York Knicks guard
Reggie Bullock (neck) has been downgraded to questionable for Thursday's game against the Phoenix Suns. He was listed as probable, but might have tweaked his neck at shootaround.
Marcus Morris (neck) isn't expected to play, so
Kevin Knox could be asked to start on Thursday. Knox could be worth a look as a streaming option if he's forced into heavy minutes.
--Andy Webb - RotoBallerSource: NBA Injury Report
3 days agoBoston Celtics guard
Jaylen Brown (thumb) is listed as questionable for Thursday's game against the Milwaukee Bucks. He suffered a sprained right thumb during Wednesday's contest.
Marcus Smart will likely be asked to jump into the starting five if Brown is unable to play.
Kemba Walker,
Jayson Tatum, and
Gordon Hayward would be asked to do more on offense.
--Andy Webb - RotoBallerSource: Jared Weiss
3 days agoBoston Celtics forward
Jayson Tatum (knee) has been removed from the injury report ahead of Thursday's game versus the Milwaukee Bucks. He missed Wednesday's game due to a minor knee issue. Tatum was not expected to miss both games, so fantasy owners should see him on the floor for this one. He could see a higher usage than normal with
Jaylen Brown (thumb) listed as questionable.
--Andy Webb - RotoBallerSource: Jared Weiss
3 days agoOklahoma City Thunder center
Steven Adams (knee) was unable to suit up for Thursday's practice. He's dealing with a bruised right knee and will be re-evaluated on Friday. The Thunder play on Friday, so fantasy owners shouldn't expect Adams to suit up for that one.
Nerlens Noel (ankle) is banged up as well, so
Mike Muscala could be asked to play heavy minutes.

3 days agoDenver Nuggets guard
Gary Harris (groin) has been ruled out for Thursday's game against the Golden State Warriors. This is the second game in a row that Harris has missed due to a groin issue. It's unclear how long Harris is going to be sidelined.
Torrey Craig and
Michael Porter Jr. should see increased minutes without Harris available. Porter has more fantasy value than Craig at the moment.
--Andy Webb - RotoBallerSource: T.J. McBride
3 days agoDenver Nuggets forward
Paul Millsap (knee) has been ruled out for Thursday's game against the Golden State Warriors. This marks the fifth game in a row that Millsap has missed due to a left knee issue.
Jerami Grant and
Mason Plumlee will see increased time without Millsap available. Grant is worth owning in most formats while Millsap is sidelined.
