Golden State Warriors point guard Stephen Curry (knee) will miss a sixth consecutive game on Thursday against the Boston Celtics. Curry was unable to practice on Wednesday because he did not "feel right," according to Warriors head coach Steve Kerr. After practice, Kerr suggested Curry might undergo a second MRI on his right knee. Pat Spencer and Gui Santos have stepped up during Curry's absence, though Kristaps Porzingis' (Achilles) likely return on Thursday will have a significant impact on the rotation.

Memphis Grizzlies point guard Ja Morant (elbow) will be re-evaluated in two weeks, the team announced on Wednesday. The Grizzlies star hasn't played since Jan. 21 due to a UCL sprain in his left elbow. Unfortunately, health issues have ruined another campaign for Morant, who has suited up just 20 times this season. With him unavailable, Ty Jerome, Cam Spencer, and Scotty Pippen Jr. have larger roles on the team. Jerome has the most fantasy appeal of these three players, but he has been playing with a minutes limit since making his season debut in late January. Across 20.2 minutes per game, Jerome has averaged 19.7 points, 6.0 assists, and 1.2 steals.

Sacramento Kings' newly acquired forward De'Andre Hunter (eye) has been ruled out for Thursday's contest against the Orlando Magic. Hunter missed the previous three games with a left eye injury that began before the All-Star break. The forward was traded to Sacramento from the Cleveland Cavaliers during this season's trade deadline and has played just three games with the Kings. With him set to miss another game on Thursday, forward Precious Achiuwa should start, while rookies Maxime Raynaud and Nique Clifford should be major beneficiaries of the number of injuries affecting the Kings' lineup.

Golden State Warriors center Kristaps Porzingis (Achilles) is listed as questionable for Thursday's contest against the Boston Celtics, but he told reporters he plans to make his debut with the team. Porzingis was traded to the Warriors from the Atlanta Hawks at this season's trade deadline after playing just 17 games with them. Many expect Porzingis to be the perfect fit with the Warriors, barring health. The former fourth-overall pick has averaged 19.6 points per game in his career, shooting over 36% from three in each of the last four seasons. With Porzingis expected to play, centers Al Horford and Quinten Post should see fewer minutes moving forward, while Porzingis should be more of a factor from a fantasy perspective.

Chicago Bulls guard Josh Giddey (hamstring) is listed as questionable for Thursday's contest against the Toronto Raptors but practiced in full on Wednesday and expects to play. Giddey has missed the previous eight games with a strained left hamstring, and the team has struggled, losing seven of its last eight games without him. The former sixth-overall pick has had a career year in his fifth season, averaging 18.6 points, 8.6 rebounds, and 8.8 assists in 32 minutes per game. With Giddey expected to return on Thursday, expect guards Collin Sexton, Jaden Ivey, and Rob Dillingham to see fewer minutes and less offensive production moving forward.

New York Knicks forward OG Anunoby (toe) is listed as questionable for Thursday's game against the Detroit Pistons. Anunoby has missed the previous four games after having his toenail removed, but practiced in full on Wednesday, opening the door for a potential return on Thursday. In 41 games this season, Anunoby has averaged 16.6 points, 5.5 rebounds, and 2.4 assists in 33 minutes per game. A return seems likely, but Anunoby could face a minutes restriction despite facing the current first seed in the Eastern Conference. If he does, in fact, play on Thursday, look for Mohamed Diawara to see a reduced workload.

Charlotte Hornets guard Coby White (calf) has been ruled out for Thursday's game against the Houston Rockets, and head coach Charles Lee said there's no clear timeline for his return. White was acquired by the Hornets from the Chicago Bulls at this season's trade deadline but has yet to suit up for them. In 29 games this season with Chicago, White has averaged 18.6 points, 3.7 rebounds, and 4.7 assists in just over 29 minutes per game. With the newly acquired guard not ready to return from his calf injury, guards Sion James and Grant Williams should benefit from his absence. Fantasy managers should expect White to return in the coming weeks, as the Hornets enter playoff contention and no shutdown is expected.

Miami Heat guard Tyler Herro (ribs) is expected to practice Thursday as he works toward a return from a right costochondral injury that has sidelined him for 15 straight games. He is averaging 25.3 usage in 32.0 minutes this season and could be listed as questionable for Friday's matchup in Atlanta depending on how he responds. Until he is cleared, Kasparas Jakucionis, Myron Gardner, and Simone Fontecchio should continue seeing added run, though all remain fringe fantasy options. Herro's return would tighten the rotation and restore primary scoring duties alongside Bam Adebayo and Norman Powell.

Atlanta Hawks forward Jonathan Kuminga (knee) will be re-evaluated in approximately one week as he continues rehabbing a left knee bone bruise, the team announced Wednesday. The injury occurred Jan. 22, and Kuminga will miss at least the next stretch of games before another update. His delayed debut keeps minutes open on the wing. Corey Kispert has averaged 12.0 points, 3.0 rebounds, 2.0 assists, and 1.8 threes in 25.4 minutes over his last eight games, while Zaccharie Risacher is posting 10.5 points and 1.5 threes in 24.2 minutes across 42 contests. Both are viable deeper-league streamers but remain fringe options until Kuminga is cleared.

Cleveland Cavaliers forward/center Evan Mobley (calf) will make his first appearance since straining his left calf during a Jan. 26 win over Orlando when Cleveland faces Brooklyn on Thursday. He has missed seven straight games and may not immediately resume a full workload, with a potential minutes restriction in play. Mobley is averaging 17.9 points, 8.8 rebounds, 4.0 assists, and 2.0 blocks in 33.4 minutes this season and remains a must-start in all formats. His return should cut into the roles of Jaylon Tyson and Sam Merrill, both of whom saw expanded minutes during his absence.

Indiana Pacers guard Andrew Nembhard (back) isn't listed on the injury report ahead of Thursday's game against Washington. He's battled nagging injuries throughout the campaign, so he got the night off versus the Nets in Indiana's final contest leading up to the All-Star break. With Pascal Siakam (personal) and Ivica Zubac (ankle) ruled out, and Aaron Nesmith (back) and T.J. McConnell (hamstring) questionable, Nembhard should receive plenty of chances to produce in a meeting with one of the worst defensive squads in the National Basketball Association.

Sacramento Kings forward Keegan Murray (ankle) said he is ready to return for Thursday's game against Orlando, according to James Ham of ESPN 1320 Sacramento. Murray has been out since early January but recently resumed full basketball activities. In 19 appearances this season, he is averaging 14.6 points, 6.1 rebounds, 1.5 assists, 1.2 steals, 1.6 blocks, and 1.3 threes in 35.9 minutes. With Zach LaVine (hand) and Domantas Sabonis (knee) out for the year, Murray should absorb more offensive responsibility alongside DeMar DeRozan. The Kings could ease him back, but he's worth holding as his workload builds.

Indiana Pacers guard/forward Aaron Nesmith (back) is questionable for Thursday's matchup with the Wizards. He didn't suit up for the meeting with the Nets ahead of the All-Star break because of a lumbar strain. While Nesmith has a shot at playing on Thursday, it's also realistic to assume he won't be back on the court until Friday when these clubs meet again. With Pascal Siakam (personal) sidelined, Andrew Nembhard and Jarace Walker have the best chance of leading the way offensively if Nesmith doesn't suit up. Jay Huff could also be more involved on both ends of the floor, especially with Ivica Zubac (ankle) still on the shelf.

Washington Wizards guard Trae Young (knee) has not been cleared for contact and did not practice Wednesday, coach Brian Keefe said, via The Athletic. There is no timetable for his debut, and he can be considered week-to-week as he works back from a right knee MCL sprain and quad contusion. His absence keeps Bub Carrington in the starting role. Carrington is averaging 10.2 points, 3.5 rebounds, 4.6 assists, and 2.1 threes in 28.0 minutes across 53 games, though on 40.2 percent shooting. Tre Johnson remains a viable streamer after posting 12.9 points and 2.1 threes in 25.0 minutes over 40 games.

Indiana Pacers guard T.J. McConnell (hamstring) is questionable for Thursday's game against Washington. He wasn't available versus the Nets in the Pacers' final contest before the All-Star break. Hopefully, the time off did him some good, although it's possible he may need another night off to recover from nagging hamstring soreness. With Pascal Siakam (personal) and Ivica Zubac (ankle) ruled out, and Aaron Nesmith (back) listed as questionable, McConnell might work his way into the starting lineup, assuming he gets the green light to play. At the same time, even if the 33-year-old comes off the bench, he'll be worth streaming in most fantasy setups.

Los Angeles Clippers guard Darius Garland (toe) is considered week-to-week and continues practicing on a limited basis while managing his surgically repaired left foot, according to Law Murray of The Athletic. The team expects him to return this season, but a debut is unlikely before March. Garland carries a 28.6 usage rate when active, so his absence keeps Kris Dunn entrenched as the starting point guard while Kawhi Leonard maintains primary offensive control with a 34.8 usage rate. Bennedict Mathurin and Kobe Sanders carry value in deeper formats, though both profile as fringe options. Garland remains a firm hold in all competitive leagues.

Indiana Pacers forward Pascal Siakam (personal) won't play on Thursday against Washington. These clubs will meet again on Friday, so fantasy managers will need to wait and see if he'll be back for that one. The Pacers have a number of players listed on the injury report, specifically, T.J. McConnell (hamstring), Aaron Nesmith (back), Micah Potter (ankle), and Ivica Zubac (ankle). As a result, Kam Jones and Ben Sheppard could see more work. That may also apply to Quenton Jackson and Ethan Thompson, depending on if they get the bump from the G League. With that said, there's a chance McConnell, Nesmith, and Potter will play, so there are a lot of moving parts in this scenario.

Philadelphia 76ers center Joel Embiid (shin) won't play on Thursday versus Atlanta. He reported soreness in his right shin during the All-Star break, so he'll miss at least one contest. However, the 31-year-old will be re-evaluated leading up to Philly's three-game road trip in New Orleans, Minnesota, and Indiana, meaning there is a chance he might miss more time. While Embiid is out of commission, Andre Drummond, averaging 8.9 points and 10.8 boards in 19 starts this season, will presumably replace him in the rotation. Adem Bona should also see additional action and would be worth streaming if Drummond sits out a game during the road trip.

Sacramento Kings forward/center Dylan Cardwell (ankle) sprained his left ankle at practice Tuesday and will be re-evaluated in four weeks, according to James Ham of ESPN 1320 Sacramento. The rookie was providing 5.4 points, 7.7 rebounds, and 1.2 assists in 21.2 minutes across 29 games, flashing strong per-minute rebounding. With Domantas Sabonis (knee) already out for the season, Maxime Raynaud is locked into heavy run. Raynaud is averaging 9.8 points, 6.6 rebounds, and 1.0 assists in 23.5 minutes over 48 games and now projects for 30-plus minutes. He is a must-add in standard leagues, while Precious Achiuwa gains deeper-league appeal.

Brooklyn Nets center Nicolas Claxton (ankle) won't play on Thursday versus Cleveland. He tweaked his ankle during practice on Wednesday, so it appears his absence might extend beyond Thursday's contest. While Claxton is sidelined, Day'Ron Sharpe will likely replace him in the starting lineup. Sharpe has averaged 13.8 points, 8.5 boards, 2.3 steals, and 1.3 blocks in four starts this season, meaning he needs to be featured in all fantasy lineups as long as Claxton remains on the shelf.
