Charles Bassey C | GS
Warriors' Charles Bassey: Iffy for Thursday
Bassey (ankle) is questionable for Thursday's game against the Lakers.
Bassey is a new addition to the injury report with a left ankle sprain. With Kristaps Porzingis (illness) out, Bassey could see a sizable role if he's cleared to play.

Derrick White SG | BOS
Celtics' Derrick White: Questionable for Thursday
White (knee) is questionable for Thursday's game against the Knicks.
White is dealing with a right knee contusion and may be held out of the front end of this back-to-back set. If the veteran guard isn't cleared to play, Payton Pritchard would likely step into the starting five, while Baylor Scheierman and Hugo Gonzalez would be candidates to see increased playing time.

Warriors' Gui Santos: Listed as questionable
Santos (pelvis) is questionable for Thursday's game against the Lakers.
After missing Tuesday's game against the Kings, Santos remains day-to-day with a right pelvic contusion. With Thursday being the front end of a back-to-back set, a maintenance day could be on the table for one of these contests.

Warriors' Kristaps Porzingis: Not available Thursday
Porzingis is listed out for Thursday's game against the Lakers due to general illness management.
After missing Tuesday's 110-105 win over the Kings due to a knee issue, Porzingis is now being held out of the first leg of a back-to-back set for illness management. His absence Thursday could open up elevated playing time once again for Charles Bassey (ankle), who is listed as questionable after logging 27 minutes Tuesday.

Jaylen Brown SF | BOS
Celtics' Jaylen Brown: Questionable vs. New York
Brown is questionable for Thursday's game against the Knicks due to left Achilles tendinitis.
The Celtics are listing the majority of the starting lineup as questionable, but it wouldn't be surprising if Brown is cleared and given the green light to play in this rivalry matchup. Brown has been the best player for the Celtics this season and has delivered first-round value in fantasy, averaging 28.8 points, 7.0 rebounds, 5.2 assists and 1.0 steals per game in 70 regular-season starts.

Jamal Cain SF | ORL
Magic's Jamal Cain: Cleared to play Wednesday
Cain (calf) is available for Wednesday's game against the Timberwolves, Jason Beede of the Orlando Sentinel reports.
Cain exited Monday's win over the Pistons in the second quarter and did not return due to a left calf contusion. However, the 27-year-old forward will be back in action Wednesday. Over four appearances in April, he has averaged 9.0 points, 3.0 rebounds and 1.8 assists in 21.8 minutes per tilt.

Wendell Carter Jr. C | ORL
Magic's Wendell Carter: Upgraded to available
Carter (questionable) is available for Wednesday's game against the Timberwolves, Jason Beede of the Orlando Sentinel reports.
Carter was initially carrying a questionable tag due to a nasal fracture, but the big man will suit up and should handle his regular workload down low. Carter is averaging 13.3 points, 6.9 rebounds and 1.8 assists per game in 19 appearances since the beginning of March.

Jalen Williams SF | OKC
Thunder's Jalen Williams: Not listed on injury report
Williams (hamstring) isn't listed on the injury report for Wednesday's game against the Clippers.
As expected, Williams will return to action Wednesday after sitting out Tuesday's blowout win over the Lakers. With the star forward set to return to the lineup, Ajay Mitchell is expected to retreat to the second unit. Williams has averaged 14.4 points, 5.6 assists, 4.2 rebounds and 0.8 steals in 25.8 minutes per game over his last five appearances.
