McGowens is out for Thursday's game against the Clippers.

McGowens is sidelined for a fifth straight contest due to a right toe fracture. The guard is without a definitive timeline for a return, but his next chance to play will come in Saturday's tilt against the Cavaliers.

Batum (rest) is available for Thursday's game against the Pelicans.

Following a one-game absence, Batum is ready to return for Thursday's rematch with New Orleans. The veteran forward hasn't touched the 20-minute marker since the March 1 win over the Pelicans, limiting his fantasy appeal.

Leonard is questionable for Thursday's game against the Pelicans with a left ankle sprain.

Leonard is at risk of missing the second half of the Clippers' back-to-back set. More playing time would become available for Derrick Jones and Kobe Sanders in the frontcourt if Leonard is ruled out Thursday.

Murray has been ruled out for Thursday's game against the Clippers due to right Achilles management.

After playing through an illness Wednesday, Murray will be sidelined for the second half of the back-to-back set with the Clippers due to injury maintenance. Yves Missi will most likely move into the starting five in Murray's stead, while Jeremiah Fears should handle a more pronounced role off the bench.

Garland (toe) will not play Thursday against the Pelicans.

As expected, Garland will be rested for the second leg of this back-to-back set. The guard produced 13 points (6-12 FG, 1-3 3Pt), one rebound, six assists and one steal in 29 minutes during Wednesday's 124-109 loss to the Pelicans. Kris Dunn and Jordan Miller could step into larger roles as a result Thursday.

Carter is out for Thursday's game against the Hornets due to a left rib contusion.

After being absent from the initial injury report, Carter has been scratched from the lineup altogether Thursday. The veteran big man can be deemed day-to-day ahead of Saturday's showdown with the Lakers. Goga Bitadze and Moritz Wagner should split the center minutes versus Charlotte, putting both in the deep-league streaming mix.

Kleber (back) is out for Thursday's game against Miami.

Kleber hasn't played since March 8 due to a lumbar back strain. Even once he moves past the injury, the veteran big man isn't guaranteed a spot in head coach JJ Redick's rotation.

Smith (calf) is questionable for Thursday's game against Cleveland.

Smith is managing a nagging right calf strain, putting his status in jeopardy for the second leg of this back-to-back set. Nick Richards and Guerschon Yabusele would be in position to share the center minutes if Smith is unable to play Thursday.

Sexton (fibula) is probable for Thursday's game against Cleveland.

The veteran guard is expected to be available for the second part of this back-to-back set. Sexton has averaged 16.0 points, 2.3 assists, 2.2 rebounds and 1.3 steals in 24.5 minutes per tilt over 13 games for the Bulls, shooting 50.0 percent from the field during that span.

Okoro (knee) will not play Thursday against the Cavaliers.

Okoro will be sidelined for a sixth straight game Thursday. His next chance to play comes Monday against Houston. Leonard Miller is likely to continue playing extended minutes for Chicago.
