Pistons will start Joseph, Diallo, Bey, Grant and Stewart on Thursday. Hamidou Diallo will draw the start here with Cade Cunningham out.
As reported by: Lauren Williams Eric Gordon (heel) out on Thursday.
Eric Gordon (heel) out on Thursday. This is as expected as we treated him doubtful and not in the projections. With Gordon out, and with DJ Augustin / Armoni Brooks waived, the Rockets will rely on Josh Christopher in the second unit.
As reported by: Salman Ali Tyler Herro (knee) still questionable; Caleb Martin (Achilles) "most likely sitting out" on Thursday.
Tyler Herro (knee) still questionable; Caleb Martin (Achilles) “most likely sitting out” on Thursday. With Martin out, we should see more second unit usage for Herro if he plays, and guys like Max Strus / Omer Yurtseven.
As reported by: Ira Winderman Other tagged players: Caleb Martin Nic Claxton (hamstring) out on Thursday.
Nic Claxton (hamstring) out on Thursday. This should give Blake Griffin another spot start with Day’Ron Sharpe backing him up. There’s not too much DFS impact here.
As reported by: Alex Schiffer Nemanja Bjelica (back) not on the injury report for Thursday.
Nemanja Bjelica (back) not on the injury report for Thursday. Bjelica could see some immediate action in the second unit with the Warriors down Otto Porter, Draymond Green and Andre Iguodala. Jonathan Kuminga could also be in line for a bigger role in the second unit.
As reported by: Anthony Slater Tyler Herro (knee) now questionable on Thursday.
Tyler Herro (knee) now questionable on Thursday. With Caleb Martin also questionable, the Heat could be thin in the second unit. If Herro can’t go, Jimmy Butler would get a boost while Max Strus could be tasked with more offense in the second unit.
As reported by: NBA Injury Report Cade Cunningham (hip) out on Thursday.
Cade Cunningham (hip) out on Thursday. This is as expected as Cunningham was ruled doubtful an hour ago and Saben Lee was recalled.
As reported by: Johnny Kane Nets to waive DeAndre Bembry.
Nets to waive DeAndre Bembry. This likely pushes Bruce Brown into the starting lineup.
As reported by: Adrian Wojnarowski Mitchell Robinson (knee) trending probable on Thursday; Nerlens Noel (knee) trending doubtful.
Mitchell Robinson (knee) trending probable on Thursday; Nerlens Noel (knee) trending doubtful. This is from an earlier tweet from beat writer Steve Popper. We’re going to trust his tweet and should anything change, we’ll provide an update. This puts Robinson back on the GPP radar assuming he’s good to go, especially with Noel sounding out and RJ Barrett already ruled out.
As reported by: Steve Popper Other tagged players: Nerlens Noel Cade Cunningham (hip) downgraded to doubtful on Thursday; Saben Lee listed available.
Cade Cunningham (hip) downgraded to doubtful on Thursday; Saben Lee listed available. This likely gives Rodney McGruder a spot start and the call-up of Lee from the G-League is a sign Cunningham is going to be out, in my opinion.
As reported by: NBA Injury Report Other tagged players: Saben Lee Rockets to waive DJ Augustin and Armoni Brooks.
Rockets to waive DJ Augustin and Armoni Brooks. This is a salary cap issue but it gives the Rockets more clarity that they plan to give Josh Christopher all the minutes he can handle in the second unit.
As reported by: Jackson Gatlin Other tagged players: Armoni Brooks Magic to waive PJ Dozier.
Magic to waive PJ Dozier. There’s no DFS impact here.
As reported by: Magic PR Rockets to waive Enes Freedom.
Rockets to waive Enes Freedom. This is as expected as the Rockets need to give Alperen Sengun and Christian Wood the priority here for minutes. Kanter should latch on with another team.
As reported by: Adrian Wojnarowski Mavericks to release Moses Brown.
Mavericks to release Moses Brown. This is more of a formality to ensure the Mavs have space for all the moves they made today. There’s no DFS impact here.
