Brooklyn Nets small forward
Cameron Johnson (back) will not suit up for Thursday's contest against the Atlanta Hawks. Due to a nagging back injury, Johnson is not ready to return for Thursday night. This will be Johnson's fifth consecutive game that he's going to miss. His next chance to play will be against the Minnesota Timberwolves on Friday, but the Nets have just three games left in their season, and Johnson just might get sidelined for the rest of the season due to his back injury. With Johnson out,
Trendon Watford will remain in the starting lineup.

Brooklyn Nets point guard
D'Angelo Russell (ankle) will not be in action on Thursday against the Atlanta Hawks. Russell is set to miss the game due to right ankle soreness. Thursday will mark the third-straight game that Russell will miss. His next chance to suit up will be on Friday against the Minnesota Timberwolves.
Reece Beekman will remain in the starting unit on Thursday due to Russell's absence. This season, Russell has played 28 games with the Nets, averaging 12.7 points, 2.8 rebounds, and 5.4 assists per game.

New York Knicks guard/forward
Josh Hart (knee) will exit the lineup for Thursday's encounter with the Detroit Pistons. New York's ironman will receive a rare off night against the Pistons following a 48-minute outing in Tuesday's overtime loss to the Boston Celtics. Thursday's game marks the first leg of a back-to-back for the Knicks, so there's a good chance Hart will rejoin the fun on Friday night against the Cleveland Cavaliers. With
OG Anunoby (thumb) and
Mitchell Robinson (ankle) also on the shelf against Detroit,
Precious Achiuwa,
Miles McBride, and
Landry Shamet are expected to pick up more work.

New York Knicks forward
OG Anunoby (thumb) has been ruled out for Thursday's contest against the Detroit Pistons. He will miss his first game since Feb. 20 due to a thumb sprain.
Josh Hart (knee) and
Mitchell Robinson (ankle) have also been ruled out for Thursday's action, which should significantly increase
Precious Achiuwa's playing time.
Miles McBride and
Landry Shamet are also expected to receive more opportunities in a favorable fantasy matchup against a team that ranks eighth in pace while holding a mediocre defensive rating.

Cleveland Cavaliers forward/center
Evan Mobley (rest) will not suit up for Thursday's game against the Indiana Pacers. The team has nothing left to play for in the regular season and will give Mobley some time off to rest. He will be joined on the sidelines by
Darius Garland (toe),
Donovan Mitchell (ankle), and
Max Strus (knee), meaning the Cavaliers will head into action without four of their regular starters. Players such as
Ty Jerome,
Sam Merrill,
De'Andre Hunter, and
Dean Wade are set to play more prominent roles in the rotation.

Cleveland Cavaliers point guard
Darius Garland (toe) will not take the court on Thursday night against the Indiana Pacers. Cleveland has just secured the top position in the Eastern Conference and will rest four of its regular starters on Thursday, including Garland, who is bothered by a toe sprain.
Ty Jerome is likely to take over the point guard duties in the starting lineup, with
Craig Porter Jr. serving as his primary backup. In his previous two starts this season, Jerome has averaged an impressive 26.5 points on 57.9 percent three-point shooting, adding 4.5 assists.

Cleveland Cavaliers guard
Donovan Mitchell (ankle) will not be in the lineup on Thursday against the Indiana Pacers, missing a second consecutive game. Cleveland's star man is nursing an ankle sprain, and the team has no reason to hurry his return since they have already clinched the top seed in the Eastern Conference for the playoffs.
Darius Garland (toe) will also take the night off, opening the door for
Ty Jerome and
Sam Merrill to lead the backcourt. Jerome will enter Thursday's contest with good momentum, having notched 38 points across two games since returning from a knee injury.

April 10, 2025
Detroit Pistons guard
Cade Cunningham (knee) has been listed as probable for Thursday's matchup against the New York Knicks. Cunningham recently missed time due to a calf injury and is now dealing with a knee problem. However, it appears to be a minor issue, and Cunningham is likely to make his third consecutive appearance. Since returning from a calf contusion, Cunningham has been limited to 30.5 minutes per game. Nonetheless, he has still done plenty of damage, averaging 30.0 points, 6.0 rebounds, and 4.5 assists.

Milwaukee Bucks forward/center
Giannis Antetokounmpo (shoulder) is considered probable for Thursday's clash against the New Orleans Pelicans. After helping Milwaukee to a remarkable comeback victory against the Minnesota Timberwolves on Tuesday night, Antetokounmpo is back on the injury report with a shoulder issue. Nevertheless, he is expected to be in the lineup. The two-time MVP has recorded triple-doubles in each of his last three appearances and can establish a new career-high for a single season if he posts another one over the final few games of the campaign. He is currently on 10 triple-doubles through 65 outings, averaging 30.4 points, 11.9 rebounds, 6.4 assists, and 1.2 blocks.

Houston Rockets center
Alperen Sengun (back) won't play on Wednesday against the Clippers. Houston will enter the postseason as the No. 2 seed in the Western Conference. As a result, Sengun,
Dillon Brooks (rest),
Jabari Smith Jr. (groin),
Fred VanVleet (ankle), and
Amen Thompson (rest) will get the night off.
Jalen Green and
Tari Eason are good to go, so it's logical to assume they'll carry the load offensively. But as far as the center spot is concerned,
Steven Adams, averaging 10.0 points, 9.7 rebounds, 1.3 blocks, and 1.3 steals in three starts this season, is worth considering for DFS lineups.

April 9, 2025
Boston Celtics forward
Jaylen Brown (knee) won't play on Wednesday against Orlando. He was listed as questionable. However, it appeared he at least had a chance of playing, considering he was warming up. With that in mind, the C's have already secured the No. 2 spot in the Eastern Conference, so
Jayson Tatum (ankle),
Derrick White (ankle),
Kristaps Porzingis (illness),
Jrue Holiday (shoulder), and
Al Horford (knee) will join Brown on the shelf. As a result, it could be a busy night for
Sam Hauser,
Payton Pritchard,
Luke Kornet, and
Baylor Scheierman.

Dallas Mavericks forward/center
Anthony Davis (adductor) is available to play on Wednesday against the Lakers. AD has frequented the injury report often this season because of a left adductor strain. That isn't expected to change anytime soon. However, with the Mavs having last played on Saturday, he had plenty of time to get ready for the meeting with his former team. It will be an emotional contest for Davis, that's for sure. With that in mind, he should be fired up and ready to rock, giving him plenty of upside for DFS managers on Wednesday night.

Philadelphia 76ers guard
Quentin Grimes (back) will play on Wednesday against Washington. He popped up on the injury report because of back soreness after scoring 29 points in 38 minutes in Monday's loss to the Miami Heat. Fortunately, the 24-year-old is good to go. It will continue to be a skeleton crew for Philly on Wednesday, meaning Grimes has an excellent chance to lead the way offensively against arguably the worst team in the National Basketball Association.

Charlotte Hornets center
Mark Williams (foot) won't play on Wednesday against the Raptors. He logged 31 minutes in Tuesday's loss to the Grizzlies. But, as has been the case, Williams will sit this one out to rest his ailing left foot. Without Williams in the mix,
Jusuf Nurkic, who had eight points, eight rebounds, and one block in his last start, should handle things in the middle. Nurkic should also see a bump in production, considering
Miles Bridges (hip) is also ruled out.

April 9, 2025
Charlotte Hornets forward
Miles Bridges (hip) won't play on Wednesday against Toronto. He logged 30 minutes in Tuesday's loss to the Memphis Grizzlies. However, the Hornets were eliminated from Postseason contention long ago, so it's unknown if the hip soreness will keep Bridges off the floor for the remainder of the 2024-25 campaign. Without Bridges in the mix,
Tidjane Salaun, averaging 6.3 points and 5.9 rebounds in eight starts this season, should fill the hole in the rotation, with
DaQuan Jeffries,
KJ Simpson, and
Jusuf Nurkic potentially in line for increased production.
