Larry Nance Jr (knee) available on Thursday. This is as expected. His role and minutes are still TBD but my guess is he comes off the bench.

Gary Trent (toe) out on Thursday; OG Anunoby (finger) remains questionable.
Gary Trent (toe) out on Thursday; OG Anunoby (finger) remains questionable. For now we’re still leaning Anunoby is closer to doubtful than questionable as he’s not in our projections, but we’ll provide another update when we get it.
As reported by: Blake Murphy Other tagged players: OG Anunoby Cam Johnson (quad) out on Thursday.
Cam Johnson (quad) out on Thursday. This is as expected and reflected in projections. With Johnson out, Jae Crowder will continue to start in his place.
As reported by: Kellan Olson Chris Paul (thumb) now probable on Thursday.
Chris Paul (thumb) now probable on Thursday. With Paul back, he makes Cameron Payne a less desirable DFS option. Paul is especially cheap on FanDuel but it remains to be seen if he’ll have any minute restrictions, so stay tuned.
As reported by: Kellan Olson Malcolm Brogdon (rest), Isaiah Jackson (headache) and Chris Duarte (toe) out on Thursday; Tyrese Haliburton (back) and Goga Bitadze (foot) questionable.
Malcolm Brogdon (rest), Isaiah Jackson (headache) and Chris Duarte (toe) out on Thursday; Tyrese Haliburton (back) and Goga Bitadze (foot) questionable. This should mean Justin Anderson will start again, while Jalen Smith is off the injury report and could be tasked with more minutes. If Goga Bitadze can’t go, I’d expect Smith to start with Terry Taylor playing some backup center.
Other tagged players: Isaiah Jackson, Chris Duarte, Tyrese Haliburton, Goga Bitadze Ja Morant (knee), Dillon Brooks (injury management), Brandon Clarke (hip) and Killian Tillie (knee) all out on Thursday.
Ja Morant (knee), Dillon Brooks (injury management), Brandon Clarke (hip) and Killian Tillie (knee) all out on Thursday. This is going to leave the Grizzlies short-handed and lead to another spot start for Tyus Jones, who becomes a strong punt play now. With Dillon Brooks also out, Desmond Bane should be the focal point of this offense.
As reported by: Grizzlies PR Other tagged players: Dillon Brooks, Brandon Clarke, Killian Tillie DeMar DeRozan (adductor) out on Thursday; Zach LaVine (knee) available.
DeMar DeRozan (adductor) out on Thursday; Zach LaVine (knee) available. With DeRozan out, the Bulls might be forced to start Tristan Thompson or Patrick Williams. The real winners here are Nikola Vucevic and Zach LaVine. Both have averaged around 1.3 fantasy points per minute this season when DeRozan have been off the court, and Vuc is especially appealing on FanDuel at just $6,700, the lowest he’s been all season.
As reported by: NBA Injury Report Other tagged players: Zach LaVine Giannis Antetokounmpo (knee) out on Thursday.
Giannis Antetokounmpo (knee) out on Thursday. With Khris Middleton also out, the offense will run through Jrue Holiday. We’re expecting Bobby Portis to get the spot start and CourtIQ shows that when both Giannis and Middleton have been off the court, Jrue Holiday has averaged 1.52 fantasy points per minute this season.
