Hawks' Dyson Daniels: Bright spot in loss

Spurs' Devin Vassell: Flirts with double-double
Vassell supplied 14 points (5-13 FG, 2-7 3Pt, 2-3 FT), eight rebounds, one assist and two steals over 31 minutes during Wednesday's 112-101 win over the Trail Blazers.
Vassell may have missed about three weeks of play with an adductor strain earlier this year, but he's been a solid fantasy asset when healthy throughout 2025-26. Over his last nine appearances, the swingman has averaged 12.2 points, 5.4 rebounds, 2.8 assists and 1.0 steals in 28.8 minutes per game.

This was a rare off night for Johnson, yet he managed to record his 49th double-double of the campaign. With 71 games played, Johnson is on pace to return second-round value in nine-category formats with 22.6 points, 10.3 rebounds, 7.9 assists, 1.3 steals and 1.7 three-pointers in 35.3 minutes per contest.

Sam Hauser SF | BOS
Celtics' Sam Hauser: Will play Thursday
Hauser (back) is available for Thursday's game against the Knicks, Zack Cox of the Boston Herald reports.
Hauser has appeared in 26 straight games (25 starts), and he could see increased usage Thursday due to Jaylen Brown (Achilles) being out. Derrick White (knee) and Neemias Queta (toe) are also questionable. Hauser is a candidate to rest Friday against the Pelicans, especially if he sees a major workload against New York.

Jaylen Brown SF | BOS
Celtics' Jaylen Brown: Out against Knicks
Brown (Achilles) is out for Thursday's game against the Knicks, Zack Cox of the Boston Herald reports.
Brown will be sidelined for the front end of this back-to-back set. However, it remains to be seen if he will be cleared for Friday's game against the Pelicans. With this news, Baylor Scheierman and Payton Pritchard could be a lot more involved for the Celtics.

Trayce Jackson-Davis C | TOR
Raptors' Trayce Jackson-Davis: Out with illness
Jackson-Davis (illness) is out for Thursday's game against Miami.
Jackson-Davis is an emergency depth piece for the Raptors, so his absence will not have a big fantasy impact. He's appeared in eight of Toronto's past 10 games, playing double-digit minutes only once.

Anthony Gill PF | WAS
Wizards' Anthony Gill: Available for Thursday
Gill (neck/back) is available for Thursday's game against the Bulls.
Gill will clear his questionable tag for this contest despite dealing with two injuries. He may be a candidate for maintenance Friday against the Heat, however.

Jaden Hardy SG | WAS
Wizards' Jaden Hardy: Out against Chicago

Hardy will be sidelined for his second straight contest. He was previously considered questionable, so he'll have a chance to return Friday against Miami.
