Mitchell (illness) is available for Thursday's game against the 76ers, per Anthony Chiang of the Miami Herald.

Mitchell is playing through an illness, and there's no indication he'll be limited in any way Thursday. Across his last eight appearances, the fifth-year point guard has averaged 8.9 points, 6.3 assists, 2.6 rebounds and 1.5 three-pointers in 27.1 minutes per game.

Powell (groin) will play Thursday night against the 76ers, Anthony Chiang of the Miami Herald reports.

Powell was added to the injury report as questionable earlier in the day due to groin soreness, but he's since received the green light to take the court. He's fresh off an impressive 26-point game Tuesday against the Bucks.

Gordon (hamstring) has been ruled out for Friday's game against the Thunder.

Friday's matchup was initially seen as the earliest possible return date for Gordon, but the team has yet to provide another update on his recovery after stating that he'd be evaluated in 4-to-6 weeks -- a report that dates back to Jan. 29. The Arizona product can be considered doubtful for Sunday's game against the Timberwolves.

Pickett (knee) is questionable for Friday's game against Oklahoma City.

Pickett is in danger of missing his third straight matchup while dealing with a right knee injury. His status should come into focus as tipoff nears.

Murray (illness) is questionable for Friday's game in Oklahoma City.

Murray attempted to play through the illness in Wednesday's win over the Celtics, but he only lasted eight minutes before tapping out. We'll have a better idea on Murray's status based on his activity level at Friday's shootaround, but even if he tries to power through it, he'll be a risky target in daily fantasy leagues.

Strawther is probable for Friday's game against the Thunder with a left toe sprain.

Strawther is primed to play through the injury Friday, and he's worth considering as a streamer. The sharpshooter has started seven consecutive games, averaging 15.0 points, 3.3 rebounds, 1.6 assists, 1.0 steals and 2.3 three-pointers in 26.6 minutes per tilt.

Jones is questionable for Friday's game against the Thunder due to a right shoulder strain.

It's not clear when Jones picked up the shoulder injury, but his availability is now in question for Friday's clash. He'll presumably be re-evaluated closer to game time to determine whether he'll suit up.

Alexander-Walker (foot) has been ruled out for Thursday's game against the Wizards, Brad Rowland of the Locked On Podcast Network reports.

Jalen Johnson (hip) will join Alexander-Walker on the sidelines for Thursday's game, so Jonathan Kuminga might be moving into the starting lineup and a prominent role Thursday evening. CJ McCollum also figures to be very busy on offense, and Corey Kispert could see an uptick in minutes. For now, Alexander-Walker should be considered questionable for Sunday's meeting with the Trail Blazers.

Risacher (hip) is available for Thursday's game against the Wizards.

The second-year forward will play through a right hip contusion, and he could see an increase in usage in the absence of Jalen Johnson (hip). Risacher has averaged 8.0 points, 4.4 rebounds and 1.0 assists in 23.7 minutes per game over his last seven outings.

Antetokounmpo is out for Friday's game against the Knicks with a right calf strain.

Head coach Doc Rivers said Wednesday that Antetokounmpo is inching towards his return to the floor, but that won't happen Friday. The All-Star forward's next chance to play comes Sunday in Chicago. Kyle Kuzma should continue to start at power forward and remains worth streaming in most fantasy leagues.
