Killian Tillie (knee) questionable on Friday.
Killian Tillie (knee) questionable on Friday. On a full slate this isn’t impactful but it might mean someone like Jaren Jackson Jr. might pick up a few more minutes.
As reported by: Grizzlies PR Josh Richardson (calf) now questionable on Friday.
Josh Richardson (calf) now questionable on Friday. This is mainly noteworthy given the Spurs are without Romeo Langford, Keita Bates-Diop and Doug McDermott. If Richardson can’t go, we likely see someone like Josh Primo draw a spot start but wouldn’t be too appealing for DFS purposes on a full slate.
As reported by: NBA Injury Report Trent Forrest (wrist) out on Friday.
Trent Forrest (wrist) out on Friday. With Forrest out, the Jazz will be forced to lean on Jordan Clarkson and Nickeil Alexander-Walker as their main backup guards. It’s likely one of them starts for the injured Donovan Mitchell and one of them plays the main 6th man role off the bench.
As reported by: Andy Larsen Trent Forrest (wrist) did not go through Friday shootaround and remains questionable.
Trent Forrest (wrist) did not go through Friday shootaround and remains questionable. This is especially noteworthy given the Jazz are without Donovan Mitchell, Bogdan Bogdanovic and Danuel House, so they’d be especially short-handed if Forrest can’t go. It’d be an extra boost to Nickeil Alexander-Walker and Jordan Clarkson.
As reported by: Eric Walden Seth Curry (ankle) expected to play on Friday.
Seth Curry (ankle) expected to play on Friday. This is good news for a Nets team missing Kyrie Irving, Ben Simmons, Joe Harris and LaMarcus Aldridge. Expect Curry to slide right back into the starting lineup to help provide some offense alongside Kevin Durant.
As reported by: Nick Friedell Marquese Chriss (knee) now probable on Friday.
Marquese Chriss (knee) now probable on Friday. This isn’t too impactful from a main slate perspective but it provides some depth for the Mavs bench. This isn’t something we need to concern ourselves with for the full slate.

Magic will start Cole, Hampton, Franz Wagner, Moe Wagner and Bamba on Thursday. Moe Wagner will join the starting lineup with Wendell Carter Jr. and Chuma Okeke both out.
As reported by: Khobi Price Wendell Carter (ankle) out on Thursday.
Wendell Carter (ankle) out on Thursday. With Carter and Okeke out, the Magic will be thin on big men. It’s likely Moe Wagner draws the spot start, although any of Ignas Brazdeikis or Admiral Schofield are also candidates. This likely also means Robin Lopez is forced back into the rotation.
