Kuzma (foot) is available for Thursday's game against the Thunder.

Despite dealing with left foot soreness, Kuzma will play in the second half of the Bucks' back-to-back and should face no restrictions. The 30-year-old has started 10 games in a row, during which Kuzma has averaged 13.8 points, 6.5 rebounds, 4.0 assists and 1.1 three-pointers in 30.4 minutes per contest.

Rollins (foot) has been ruled out for Thursday's game against the Thunder, Brandon Rahbar of DailyThunder.com reports.

Rollins will miss a second straight game while dealing with plantar fasciitis. He should have ample time to recover, as the Bucks won't take the court after Thursday until after the All-Star break. Cam Thomas and Gary Trent should be in line for more opportunities in Rollins' absence.

Martin is doubtful for Thursday's game against the Lakers due to a left ankle sprain.

Martin had been in position for an amplified role in the absence of Cooper Flagg (foot), but now the former is unlikely to play Thursday. With the Mavericks shorthanded ahead of the All-Star break, Klay Thompson and Khris Middleton both should be able to work their way into the streaming mix.

Marshall (foot) is probable for Thursday's game against the Lakers.

Marshall was initially added to the injury report as questionable due to a left foot strain, but it's looking like he'll be cleared to take the court in his team's final game before the All-Star break. Expect official word from the Mavs closer to tipoff.

Ingram posted 13 points (5-7 FG, 1-2 3Pt, 2-2 FT) and one block in 32 minutes during Wednesday's 113-95 loss to the Pistons.

Despite Wednesday's quiet showing, Ingram has fit into Toronto's system very well overall during his first year with the Raptors. The star forward has averaged 21.9 points, 5.3 rebounds, 3.7 assists and 2.0 three-pointers in 34.7 minutes per contest in his last 15 games, making 40.5 percent of his three-point tries.

Barrett chipped in 16 points (4-6 FG, 1-2 3Pt, 7-8 FT), three rebounds, four assists, one block and one steal over 30 minutes during Wednesday's 113-95 loss to the Pistons.

Barrett appears to be just about all the way back from an ankle sprain that plagued him in the middle of January. The star swingman has averaged 15.5 points, 5.8 rebounds, 3.4 assists and 1.3 three-pointers in 27.0 minutes per contest in his last eight games, though he's still shaking off some rust while hitting just 29.4 percent of his three-point attempts.

Ayton won't play in Thursday's game against Dallas due to right knee soreness, Dave McMenamin of ESPN.com reports.

Given the nature of the issue, it's fair to anticipate Ayton being able to return right away once the Lakers return from the All-Star break. Jaxson Hayes and Maxi Kleber are primed to split the center minutes Thursday, with the former being the more appealing fantasy option of the two.

Thompson closed with four points (2-3 FG), four rebounds, four assists, one block and one steal across 24 minutes during Wednesday's 113-95 victory over the Raptors.

While Wednesday's effort was relatively muted, Thompson has bounced back nicely overall from a shaky start to the season. The versatile forward has averaged 8.3 points, 6.3 rebounds, 3.1 assists and 2.7 steals in 25.1 minutes per contest in his last 12 games, shooting 52.4 percent from the floor. That said, Thompson's subpar foul shooting and lack of outside scoring could continue to limit his minutes to the 20s.

Yabusele logged 13 points (5-12 FG, 2-5 3Pt, 1-2 FT), two rebounds and two assists in 25 minutes during Wednesday's 124-105 loss to the Celtics.

Although Yabusele has impressed during his brief time in Chicago following the departure of Nikola Vucevic, it'll be interesting to see what kind of role he plays once Jalen Smith (calf) gets back on the court. Yabusele has averaged 10.8 points, 4.3 rebounds, 1.5 assists, 1.0 steals and 2.5 three-pointers in 26.8 minutes per contest in his last four games, connecting on 41.7 percent of his three-point shots.

Demin chipped in 13 points (3-8 FG, 3-7 3Pt, 4-4 FT), five rebounds, five assists, one block and one steal in 32 minutes during Wednesday's 115-110 loss to the Pacers.

Now that Cam Thomas is out of the mix altogether, the Nets could be even more inclined to give Demin an extended look during the final third of the season. It's been a rocky ride so far for the rookie first-rounder, who has shown plenty of upside as a shooter with averages of 13.6 points, 3.8 rebounds, 3.0 assists and 3.0 three-pointers in 27.6 minutes per contest in his last eight games.
