  • Pistons' Duncan Robinson: Probable for Thursday

    Robinson (wrist) is probable for Thursday's game against the Pelicans.

    This probable designation is for injury management, and Robinson is one of several Pistons to be labeled this way. For now, the assumption is that he will be fine to play for the second leg of this back-to-back set.

    Pistons' Ausar Thompson: Probable for Thursday

    Thompson (ankle) is probable for Thursday's game against the Pelicans.

    Thompson is probable for ankle injury management, so this is not something his fantasy managers need to be overly concerned with. Thompson finished Wednesday's 130-129 overtime loss to the Hawks with 18 points (9-11 FG), four rebounds, five assists, one block and four steals in 37 minutes.

  • Caris LeVert SG | DET

    Pistons' Caris LeVert: Ruled out Thursday

    LeVert (knee) is out for Thursday's game against the Pelicans.

    The veteran swingman is sitting out the second half of this back-to-back set. More playing time will be available to Kevin Huerter, Daniss Jenkins and Ronald Holland on Thursday.

  • Jalen Duren C | DET

    Pistons' Jalen Duren: Probable for Thursday

    Duren (knee) is probable for Thursday's game against the Pelicans.

    Duren will be probable for the second game in a row to close out this back-to-back set. During Wednesday's overtime loss to Atlanta, the big man had 26 points (9-15 FG, 8-9 FT), 14 rebounds, three assists and two blocks over 42 minutes.

  • Jaden Ivey SG | CHI

    Bulls' Jaden Ivey: Season ends early

    Ivey (knee) will miss the remainder of the 2025-26 season, Joel Lorenzi of The Athletic reports.

    With Ivey still managing pain in his left knee and the Bulls out of the playoff picture, the team will shut down the guard early. Since joining the Bulls from the Pistons, Ivey appeared in four games with averages of 11.5 points, 4.8 rebounds, 4.0 assists, 2.0 steals and 2.0 three-pointers in 28.8 minutes.

  • Jalen Smith PF | CHI

    Bulls' Jalen Smith: Shut down for season

    The Bulls announced Thursday that Smith will miss the remainder of the season after aggravating a right calf injury in Wednesday's 157-137 loss to the 76ers.

    Smith has been plagued by injuries to his right calf throughout the past two months. Since initially straining the calf Jan. 29, Smith has appeared in just 12 of the Bulls' last 24 games while recovering from setbacks related to the injury or for maintenance purposes during back-to-back sets. With the Bulls sitting at 29-43 on the season, the team won't look to rush Smith back to the court over the final two-plus weeks following his latest aggravation. Smith will finish his sixth NBA season with averages of 10.2 points, 6.7 rebounds, 1.5 three-pointers, 1.2 assists, 0.8 blocks and 0.5 steals in 20.7 minutes per game over his 53 appearances. His absence should open up more minutes in the frontcourt for Nick Richards (elbow), Guerschon Yabusele, Patrick Williams and Leonard Miller.

  • Pelicans' Dejounte Murray: Available to play

    Murray (Achilles) is available for Thursday's game against Detroit.

    Murray will shed his questionable tag for the front end of the Pelicans' back-to-back set, but he'll likely receive a maintenance day in Friday's game against the Raptors. Since completing his recovery from right Achilles surgery and making his season debut Feb. 24, Murray has appeared in 11 of 15 games and is averaging 17.6 points, 6.7 assists, 5.1 rebounds, 1.6 three-pointers and 1.5 steals in 27.7 minutes per contest.

  • Jalen Suggs SG | ORL

    Magic's Jalen Suggs: Remains questionable for Thursday

    Suggs (illness) participated in the Magic's morning shootaround but remains questionable for Thursday's game against the Kings, Jason Beede of the Orlando Sentinel reports.

    Head coach Jamahl Mosley said after shootaround that Suggs is "definitely" feeling better, so the guard is trending in the right direction as Thursday's 7 p.m. ET tipoff approaches. Suggs has missed the Magic's last two games while recovering from the illness.

  • Clippers' Isaiah Jackson: Efficient off bench in win

    Jackson ended Wednesday's 119-94 win over Toronto with 12 points (6-6 FG), six rebounds, three assists, two blocks and one steal in 23 minutes.

    Jackson enjoyed seeing over 20 minutes off the bench just for the third time since the beginning of March, but he made the most of the opportunity. Jackson has scored in double digits in five of his last six games, but his reserve role compromises his fantasy appeal, even if he's making the most of the limited opportunities.

  • Kawhi Leonard SF | LAC

    Clippers' Kawhi Leonard: Scores team-high 27 points

    Leonard recorded 27 points (9-19 FG, 2-6 3Pt, 7-8 FT), six rebounds, two assists and one block across 30 minutes during Wednesday's 119-94 victory over the Raptors.

    Leonard carried the Clippers offensively in this comfortable win over the Raptors, and the veteran forward continues to strengthen his role as the team's No. 1 weapon on offense by a wide margin. He's on a sizzling role of 11 straight games with at least 25 points, and there's a strong argument to consider Leonard one of the most reliable forwards in fantasy right now. He's averaging 30.4 points, 6.0 rebounds and 3.1 assists per game in that 11-game stretch.
