Harris (hip) is available for Thursday's game against New Orleans.

Harris carried a questionable tag throughout the day Thursday, but he was evidently able to prove his health during warmups and will be a full go. He's averaging 14.8 points, 5.5 rebounds, 4.3 assists and 1.0 blocks in his last six appearances.

Duren (knee) is available for Thursday's game versus the Pelicans.

Duren was initially listed as probable for Thursday's game, and now we have official confirmation that he'll be available. The 22-year-old All-Star is averaging 19.3 points, 10.6 rebounds and 1.7 assists per game this season.

The Pistons downgraded Robinson to questionable for Thursday's game against New Orleans due to right wrist injury management and right hip soreness.

Detroit previously tagged Robinson as probable and listed him only with the wrist injury, so the sore hip might be something that cropped up during his 32-minute appearance in Wednesday's 130-129 overtime loss to the Hawks. A decision on Robinson's status looks like it may come closer to the 7 p.m. ET tipoff, so fantasy managers planning on streaming him into lineups will likely want to keep close tabs on the situation.

Green (ankle) is available for Thursday's game against the Pelicans.

The veteran guard is available for the second part of this back-to-back set, shedding a probable tag. Over his last six appearances, Green has averaged 5.2 points, 2.2 rebounds and 0.7 assists in 12.5 minutes per game.

Bufkin was assigned to the G League's South Bay Lakers on Thursday, Trevor Lane of LakersNation.com reports.

Bufkin will report to the G League and figures to be available to get some work Thursday night against Sioux Falls. He could also be recalled in time to join the Lakers for Friday's matchup with the Nets.

Mashack (ankle) is doubtful for Friday's game against Houston.

Mashack appears headed for another absence while on the mend from a left ankle sprain. Expect confirmation on his availability closer to game time.

Jerome (ankle) won't play Friday versus the Rockets.

Jerome is set to sit out his second straight game, but he may be able to get back on the court for Saturday's matchup with the Bulls. Javon Small will have a chance for another start Friday with Jerome unavailable, while Walter Clayton and Cam Spencer should see a bump in minutes.

Wells is out for Friday's game against the Rockets due to right toe soreness.

Wells is shelved for a second consecutive contest with the issue. Cedric Coward and Cam Spencer have a clearer pathway to minutes at small forward Friday. Wells' next chance to play come Saturday when the Grizzlies face the Bulls.

Murphy (ankle) is out for Thursday's game against the Pistons.

Murphy will miss his first action since Feb. 28 after picking up a right ankle injury. In the past, the Pelicans have elected to start both Herbert Jones and Yves Missi when without Murphy, though Jeremiah Fears could also be more heavily involved in the rotation with Murphy sidelined Thursday.

McNeeley (illness) is out for Thursday's game against New York.

McNeeley was a late addition to the injury report, and he's since been downgraded to out due to an illness. He logged 10 minutes in Charlotte's last matchup Tuesday against Sacramento, so Josh Green and Pat Connaughton could pick up a few additional minutes in McNeeley's absence.
