As reported by: Boston Celtics Nets will start Dragic, Curry, Durant, Brown and Drummond on Thursday.
Nets will start Dragic, Curry, Durant, Brown and Drummond on Thursday. Andre Drummond is back starting while Goran Dragic moves into the starting lineup. It’s unlikely he sees full starter minutes but it does raise his floor a bit now.
As reported by: Nets Maxi Kleber (knee) out on Thursday; Frank Ntilikina (ankle) available.
Maxi Kleber (knee) out on Thursday; Frank Ntilikina (ankle) available. This should help Dwight Powell and Reggie Bullock a bit but this isn’t impactful with all the value opened up.

As reported by: Grizzlies PR Marvin Bagley (ankle) and Frank Jackson (back) out on Thursday; Hamidou Diallo (ankle) listed available.
Marvin Bagley (ankle) and Frank Jackson (back) out on Thursday; Hamidou Diallo (ankle) listed available. This should give Diallo and Kelly Olynyk more run in the second unit.
As reported by: NBA Injury Report Other tagged players: Frank Jackson, Hamidou Diallo Trae Young (ankle) and Lou Williams (hip) both available on Thursday.
Trae Young (ankle) and Lou Williams (hip) both available on Thursday. With Young in, this takes someone like Delon Wright out of the picture as a punt option. Young remains a viable GPP option.

Jimmy Butler (toe) and PJ Tucker (knee) ruled out on Thursday; Max Strus (shoulder) and Caleb Martin (Achilles) available to play. This is going to make Bam Adebayo, Gabe Vincent and Tyler Herro pop in projectons as all three will have to carry the offense.
As reported by: Miami Heat Other tagged players: P.J. Tucker, Max Strus, Caleb Martin Kevin Durant (knee) will start Thursday and won't have a hard minutes restriction per Coach
Kevin Durant (knee) will start Thursday and won’t have a hard minutes restriction per Coach. This will leave Durant as a solid GPP option but riskier in cash games.

Aaron Nesmith will start for Jaylen Brown on Thursday
Aaron Nesmith will start for Jaylen Brown on Thursday. This puts Nesmith on the radar as a punt option but given Derrick White could close in his place, be careful with your exposure as his minutes may not be as high as a normal starter.

As reported by: Doug Smith Fred VanVleet (knee) and Thaddeus Young (illness) ruled out Thursday
Fred VanVleet (knee) and Thaddeus Young (illness) ruled out Thursday. This is going to put Malachi Flynn back in play while Gary Trent Jr. and Scottie Barnes, as well as Pascal Siakam, become solid options now.
As reported by: Doug Smith Other tagged players: Thaddeus Young Klay Thompson (illness), Damion Lee (quad) and Moses Moody (eye) all available on Thursday.
Klay Thompson (illness), Damion Lee (quad) and Moses Moody (eye) all available on Thursday. This is good news for the Warriors, as Thompson should slide back into the starting lineup after Moses Moody drew a spot start last game.
