  • Jakob Poeltl C | TOR

    Raptors' Jakob Poeltl: Good to go Wednesday

    Poeltl (illness) is available for Wednesday's game against New Orleans, Vivek Jacob of the Raptors' official site reports.

    Poeltl missed Tuesday's contest due to illness, but he'll be back in action Wednesday. Expect Poeltl to reclaim the starting center spot from Sandro Mamukelashvili. In his last five appearances, Poeltl is averaging 13.4 points, 8.2 rebounds, 2.6 assists, 1.6 blocks and 1.4 steals over 28.6 minutes.

  • Thunder's Branden Carlson: Out again Thursday

    Carlson (back) has been ruled out for Thursday's game against the Celtics.

    Carlson has been ruled out for a seventh straight game due to a back strain. With Isaiah Hartenstein (calf) also out, look for Jaylin Williams and Kenrich Williams to aid Chet Holmgren at the center position. Carlson's next chance to play will come Sunday against Minnesota.

  • Jalen Williams SF | OKC

    Thunder's Jalen Williams: Still out with hamstring strain

    Williams (hamstring) is out for Thursday's game against the Celtics.

    Williams remains without a clear timeline for a return due to a strained right hamstring. The star forward's absence allows Cason Wallace, Isaiah Joe and Ajay Mitchell to each have a big boost in streaming appeal in fantasy leagues.

  • Alex Caruso PG | OKC

    Thunder's Alex Caruso: Not listed on injury report

    Caruso (hip) has been removed from the injury report ahead of Thursday's game against the Celtics.

    Caruso will return from a two-game absence Thursday, which could result in fewer minutes for Isaiah Joe and Cason Wallace. Caruso is averaging 6.4 points, 2.7 rebounds, 2.0 assists, 1.0 triples and 1.4 steals per game this season.

  • Thunder's Isaiah Hartenstein: Still sidelined

    Hartenstein (calf) has been ruled out for Thursday's game against Boston.

    Hartenstein will miss a third straight game due to a bruised left calf. Jaylin Williams and Kenrich Williams will continue to see more playing time. Hartenstein's next chance to play will come Sunday against Minnesota.

  • Chet Holmgren PF | OKC

    Thunder's Chet Holmgren: Not listed on injury report

    Holmgren (illness) is not listed on the injury report ahead of Thursday's meeting with the Celtics.

    It looks like Holmgren will be back in action Thursday following a two-game stint on the sidelines, which will likely shift Jaylin Williams back to the second unit. There will also be fewer minutes available for Kenrich Williams with Holmgren active.

  • Spurs' Lindy Waters: Questionable for Thursday

    Waters (illness) is listed as questionable for Thursday's game against Denver, Raul Dominguez Jr. of the Associated Press reports.

    Waters missed the Spurs' most recent game due to illness, and he's back on the injury report ahead of Thursday's tilt. The 28-year-old is averaging just 6.5 minutes per game this season.

  • Spurs' Victor Wembanyama: Questionable for Thursday

    Wembanyama is questionable to play Thursday versus the Nuggets due to right ankle soreness, Jared Weiss of The Athletic reports.

    We'll have a better idea of Wembanyama's status following Thursday's shootaround, but it's worth noting that the 22-year-old center hasn't missed a game since January. However, if Wembanyama does need to hit the sidelines, Luke Kornet would likely get a start, and he'd be someone to consider as a streamer.

  • Grizzlies' Scotty Pippen: Out again Thursday

    Pippen (toe) is out for Thursday's game against Dallas.

    Pippen will miss a third straight game, including his second in a row due to an injury that the Grizzlies are labeling as right great toe sesamoiditis. Before making his season debut in early February, the 25-year-old guard had previously missed time to begin the campaign while recovering from surgery on the great toe on his left foot. While the fact that Pippen's latest absence isn't being attributed to his surgically repaired toe is a welcome sign, the Grizzlies haven't indicated when he might be ready to resume playing.

  • Spurs' Harrison Barnes: Iffy for Thursday

    Barnes is questionable for Thursday's game against the Nuggets due to a left ankle impingement, Jared Weiss of The Athletic reports.

    Barnes is hoping to end a five-game absence caused by the injury. Another absence for Barnes on Thursday would leave the door open for both Keldon Johnson and Dylan Harper to play an expanded role off the bench.
