Henderson is available for Thursday's game against the Jazz.

Henderson recorded 18 points (5-8 FG, 3-5 3Pt, 5-5 FT), four rebounds and two assists in 19 minutes during Wednesday's 133-109 loss to the Timberwolves, and it was widely assumed that he would be held out for injury maintenance Thursday. However, it appears that he has the green light, but it's fair to expect a modest workload at best.

Avdija is questionable for Thursday's game against the Jazz due to lower-back injury management.

The Trail Blazers are considering giving the All-Star forward load management for the final contest prior to the All-Star break. Sidy Cissoko and Vit Krejci would be candidates for an expanded role in the event that Avdija sits out Thursday.

Williams (rest) is questionable for Thursday's game against the Jazz.

Williams usually sits out one game of back-to-back sets, but he logged just 12 minutes Wednesday against Minnesota. If the Trail Blazers ultimately hold him out, Yang Hansen could be deployed as the backup center.

Sharpe (calf) is out for Thursday's game against Utah.

Sharpe will be sidelined for a fourth straight game Thursday, the final game before the All-Star break. It remains to be seen if he will be ready to return Feb. 20 against the Nuggets.

DiVincenzo contributed three points (1-5 FG, 1-5 3Pt), four rebounds, five assists and three steals in 29 minutes during Wednesday's 133-109 win over the Trail Blazers.

This was a tough showing for DiVincenzo, and consistency continues to be a concern for the veteran guard. Ayo Dosunmu had a much better night off the bench, and it will be interesting to see how this position battle unfolds after the All-Star break.

Collins finished with 12 points (6-11 FG, 0-2 3Pt), six rebounds, one assist and one steal across 35 minutes during Wednesday's 105-102 win over the Rockets.

Despite Wednesday's pedestrian showing, Collins has really turned it around overall after a rocky start to his Clippers tenure. Over 20 contests since the start of the new year, Collins has averaged 16.0 points, 5.7 rebounds, 0.9 assists and 2.0 three-pointers in 29.8 minutes per game while shooting a blistering 54.2 percent from beyond the arc.

McCain had 12 points (5-8 FG, 2-3 3Pt), four rebounds, one assist and two steals over 22 minutes during Wednesday's 136-109 win over the Suns.

This was McCain's best performance since joining the Thunder, giving him a confidence boost ahead of Oklahoma City's final game before the All-Star break. The Thunder could look a lot healthier after the break, and it will be interesting to see how the rotation shapes up.

Lopez registered 15 points (6-10 FG, 3-7 3Pt), one rebound, three assists, two blocks and two steals over 37 minutes during Wednesday's 105-102 win over the Rockets.

Fantasy managers can continue to treat Lopez as a low-end center option in the aftermath of the Ivica Zubac (ankle) trade. Lopez has averaged 9.4 points, 3.2 rebounds, 1.6 assists, 1.6 blocks, 1.0 steals and 1.6 three-pointers in 30.4 minutes per game in his last five contests, shooting 42.1 percent from downtown.

Wallace ended with four points (2-7 FG, 0-3 3Pt), four rebounds and three assists over 26 minutes during Wednesday's 136-109 win over the Suns.

Wallace had a very quiet night for the Thunder, but he has a big opportunity to bounce back Thursday against the Bucks with a number of key players being held out. Through 52 appearances this season, Wallace is returning 10th-round value in nine-category fantasy basketball formats with 8.2 points, 3.1 rebounds, 2.2 assists, 2.1 steals and 1.4 three-pointers.

Mathurin ended Wednesday's 105-102 win over the Rockets with 16 points (3-10 FG, 1-3 3Pt, 9-10 FT), three rebounds, three assists, one block and three steals over 31 minutes.

It remains to be seen if the Clippers plan to eventually insert Mathurin into the starting lineup, but it appears initially that the swingman is going to handle meaningful minutes either way. He's come off the bench in six consecutive games dating back to his time in Indiana, during which Mathurin has averaged 15.8 points, 4.8 rebounds, 3.0 assists and 1.2 steals in 29.4 minutes per contest.
