Utah Jazz forward/center
Oscar Tshiebwe (concussion) will not return to Thursday's loss to Portland after entering the league's concussion protocol. The two-way big logged five minutes before exiting and has appeared in just three games this season. With
Jaren Jackson Jr. (knee) out for the year and
Jusuf Nurkic (rest) questionable, Utah's frontcourt is thin.
Kyle Filipowski stepped up with 15 points, nine rebounds, and six steals in 29 minutes and profiles as the primary beneficiary.
Kevin Love could reenter the rotation if Tshiebwe misses time, but Filipowski is the clear fantasy add.

Dallas Mavericks guard/forward
Naji Marshall (foot) has been ruled out for the remainder of Thursday's game against the Lakers. Marshall produced 19 points on 8-of-13 shooting with two rebounds, four assists, and two steals in 29 minutes before exiting. He was already dealing with the foot issue entering the game, which raises concern about a potential aggravation. If he misses time,
P.J. Washington should absorb more frontcourt responsibility, while
Caleb Martin (ankle) could see an expanded role if cleared.

Dallas Mavericks center
Daniel Gafford (ankle) will not return to Thursday's game against the Lakers. He finished with two points, six rebounds, and one block in 28 minutes before being ruled out late in a 124-104 loss. Dallas is already thin in the frontcourt, so any missed time would tighten the rotation.
Marvin Bagley III logged 20 minutes and has produced 16 points and 12 rebounds in one of his last three games, giving him short-term streaming appeal.
P.J. Washington could also absorb more small-ball center minutes if needed.

Portland Trail Blazers center
Robert Williams III (knee) has been downgraded to out for Thursday's game against the Jazz. Williams logged five points, five rebounds, and two blocks in 12 minutes Wednesday and remains on a light workload when active. His absence solidifies
Donovan Clingan's role as the primary center and could open a few backup minutes for
Yang Hansen. Hansen has totaled six points and five rebounds across his last five appearances, limiting him to emergency depth in deep leagues.

Portland Trail Blazers forward
Deni Avdija (back) has been downgraded to out for Thursday's game against the Jazz. Avdija logged 11 points, five rebounds, and three assists in 27 minutes Wednesday but struggled to 21 percent shooting on 14 attempts. His absence opens usage on the wing, with
Vit Krejci a clear beneficiary after posting 17 points on 7-of-10 shooting in 20 minutes.
Sidy Cissoko could also see an expanded run.
Jrue Holiday and
Jerami Grant should shoulder more offensive responsibility, while Avdija remains a hold if this proves short-term.

Washington Wizards center
Alexandre Sarr (hamstring) will miss at least two weeks of action, according to Shams Charania. Sarr was diagnosed with a right hamstring strain on Thursday. He sat out during Wednesday's game and will miss the upcoming Rising Stars exhibition on All-Star weekend. At least the All-Star break is almost here, so Sarr might only miss a few games coming out of the break. The assumption is that
Tristan Vukcevic and
Anthony Gill will be asked to step up in the rotation while Sarr is out. Vukcevic has been playing well enough lately to roster in certain formats until Sarr returns.

Dallas Mavericks forward
Naji Marshall (foot) has been upgraded to probable ahead of Thursday's game against the Los Angeles Lakers. Marshall was initially tagged as questionable on the injury report due to a left foot strain. He appears to be feeling better now and is likely going to suit up for Thursday's game. He figures to see a larger role in the rotation with
Cooper Flagg (ankle) out for this game. Marshall finished with 31 points, four rebounds, and two assists across 36 minutes of action on Tuesday. Fantasy managers should check back ahead of tip-off, but they should be able to get Marshall active in their lineups on Thursday.

Milwaukee Bucks center
Myles Turner (calf) will not play Thursday against the Thunder. Turner posted five points, eight rebounds, and two blocks in 31 minutes in his last outing. With
Giannis Antetokounmpo (calf) also sidelined, Milwaukee's frontcourt minutes are up for grabs.
Jericho Sims started on Wednesday and delivered 17 points and 11 rebounds in 36 minutes, making him a strong short-term streamer for rebounds and field goal percentage.
Bobby Portis and
Ousmane Dieng should also benefit, while
Pete Nance could pick up some minutes, but his role is too inconsistent to rely on in most formats.
--Brian DailisanSource: Milwaukee Bucks
February 12, 2026
Dallas Mavericks forward
Caleb Martin (ankle) has been downgraded to doubtful ahead of Thursday's game against the Los Angeles Lakers. He was tagged as questionable to start the day after tweaking his ankle during Tuesday's contest against the Phoenix Suns. There's now a good chance that Martin is unable to go for the final game before the All-Star break. The Mavs are already without
Cooper Flagg (ankle), so losing Martin as well will hurt.
Klay Thompson and
Khris Middleton both figure to see larger roles in the rotation, assuming Martin is unable to go. Thompson is the better option between the two, but both should have streaming value for this small slate on Thursday.

Forward/center
Jeremy Sochan is expected to sign with the New York Knicks once he clears waivers, per ESPN. San Antonio moved on after Sochan fell out of the rotation amid a crowded frontcourt. In 28 games this season, he averaged 4.1 points, 2.6 rebounds, and 1.0 assists while shooting 48.0 percent from the field and 68.8 percent at the line, a sharp dip from last season's 11.4 points and 6.5 rebounds. He projects as a low-usage reserve behind
OG Anunoby and
Karl-Anthony Towns, limiting fantasy appeal to deep formats only.

February 12, 2026
Milwaukee Bucks forward
Kyle Kuzma (foot) has been upgraded to available for Thursday's game against the Thunder. Kuzma has started in each appearance since Jan. 19 but did not play Feb. 6. His recent lines underscore the volatility, posting 31 points on 12-of-22 shooting against Chicago, then three points on three attempts two games later. He finished with 15 points and seven rebounds in 30 minutes Wednesday. With
Giannis Antetokounmpo (calf) still out, Kuzma retains scoring opportunity, though
Cam Thomas and
Kevin Porter Jr. continue to siphon usage, keeping Kuzma in risk-reward territory.

February 12, 2026
Milwaukee Bucks guard
Ryan Rollins (foot) has been ruled out for Thursday's matchup against Oklahoma City. Rollins remains day-to-day, but his absence keeps Milwaukee's backcourt usage condensed.
Cam Thomas is the clear short-term beneficiary after erupting for 34 points with four threes, four rebounds, and two assists in 25 minutes Wednesday. He profiles as a points-and-threes streamer while Rollins sits.
Kevin Porter Jr., who logged 18 points, 10 rebounds, and 11 assists in 39 minutes, should continue handling primary playmaking duties.
AJ Green's role remains steady, but low usage limits his ceiling.
--Brian DailisanSource: Milwaukee Bucks
February 12, 2026
Portland Trail Blazers guard/forward
Shaedon Sharpe (calf) will miss his fourth consecutive contest on Thursday against the Utah Jazz. He strained his left calf last week and will be out through the All-Star break, possibly returning against the Nuggets on Feb. 20.
Vit Krejci will continue to see an expanded role during Sharpe's absence. He finished with 17 points, one rebound, and one assist across 20 minutes against Minnesota on Wednesday.
Scoot Henderson and
Blake Wesley could also take on extra minutes.
--Andrew LennoxSource: NBA Injury Report
February 12, 2026
Portland Trail Blazers guard
Scoot Henderson (hamstring) is expected to play Thursday against the Utah Jazz. He recorded 18 points, four rebounds, and two assists in 19 minutes during Wednesday's loss to Minnesota. The 22-year-old had been a candidate for a maintenance day, but he has been cleared to suit up. That said, Henderson will likely remain on a limited workload as he continues to work his way back from a hamstring tear in just his fourth appearance of the season.

February 12, 2026
According to Dave McMenamin of ESPN, Los Angeles Lakers center
Deandre Ayton (knee) will not suit up for Thursday's matchup against the Dallas Mavericks. He's set to miss his second straight contest due to right knee soreness. With Ayton sidelined,
Jaxson Hayes is expected to draw another start, while
Maxi Kleber should handle increased minutes off the bench. In his starts this campaign, Hayes has averaged 11.0 points and 4.2 rebounds per game. Dallas has surrendered the fifth-most fantasy points to opposing centers, making this a favorable matchup for the Lakers' frontcourt.
