Miami Heat forward/center Bam Adebayo (calf) is available for Thursday's matchup with the Los Angeles Lakers. Adebayo was previously listed as probable after sitting out Tuesday's contest due to calf tightness. The 28-year-old big man has been dominant of late, averaging 34.4 points, 9.0 rebounds, 3.2 assists, 2.6 three-pointers, 1.8 steals, and 1.2 blocks across 37.6 minutes per game over his last five outings. He should remain locked into fantasy lineups during the playoffs. Kel'el Ware is expected to see a reduced role with Adebayo back in action, while Tyler Herro and Norman Powell should continue to provide fantasy managers with consistent offensive production.

Chicago Bulls forward/center Jalen Smith (calf) is listed as questionable for the team's home game on Thursday night against Cleveland. Since returning from a multi-game absence with a calf injury, Smith has started four of the last five games, sitting out the second night of a back-to-back. While he only played 17 minutes in the team's loss on Wednesday, the Bulls could still choose to be cautious with their best big man, who has stepped up since joining the starting lineup. If Smith is out, Nick Richards will likely move into the starting five as he did for the last game without Smith. Richards had 10 points and eight rebounds in 30 minutes in that game, while Guerschon Yabusele played 20 minutes off the bench. Both players would get an upgrade if Smith is out on Thursday, although the matchup is a tough one against Cleveland's Evan Mobley.

Orlando Magic center Wendell Carter Jr. (rib) will not play on Thursday due to a rib contusion. Even though he wasn't on the team's initial injury report, they downgraded him straight to out on Thursday afternoon. Carter had been playing well with double-digit points in four straight and six of his last seven, and without him in the middle, the Magic could go with some smaller lineups with Paolo Banchero at center or give Moritz Wagner or Goga Bitadze a much bigger role against the Hornets. Carter's next chance to return will be Saturday against the Lakers.

Washington Wizards guard/forward Bilal Coulibaly (heel) will miss Thursday's rematch with the Pistons, which will be his second straight absence. With Trae Young (quad), Kyshawn George (elbow), and Coulibaly all sidelined, there should be plenty of work for rookies Tre Johnson and Will Riley, along with Bub Carrington and Jaden Hardy, who chipped in 16 points in 32 minutes on Tuesday in the team's first game against Detroit. Riley and Hardy are both strong enough plays to consider as DFS bargains or streaming options this Thursday against Detroit, which is also dealing with injury issues.

Cleveland Cavaliers guard Donovan Mitchell (eye) was added to the team's injury report for Thursday against the Bulls as questionable due to a left eye contusion. Late additions to the injury report often lead to absences, and if Mitchell is unable to play this game in Chicago, it will be a great spot for Dennis Schroder, Keon Ellis, and Max Strus next to James Harden. Evan Mobley could also get even more work in a great matchup, so check back on Spida's status to see if the rest of the Cavs get an upgrade from Mitchell missing.

Los Angeles Clippers forward Kawhi Leonard (ankle) is on the team's injury report on Thursday, listed as questionable for the second game of the two-game, back-to-back set in New Orleans. Kawhi had 25 points in 29 minutes in the team's loss on Wednesday, but it isn't certain if he'll be able to play as the team looks to bounce back Thursday. With Darius Garland (toe) out for the second game of the set, Kris Dunn and Jordan Miller will already get more work in the backcourt, and if Kawhi is also out, the Clippers would likely rely more heavily on Derrick Jones Jr. and Kobe Sanders since Bennedict Mathurin (toe) has already been ruled out as well.

Los Angeles Lakers guard Austin Reaves (forearm) was listed as questionable for Thursday's matchup in Miami, joining LeBron James (foot) and Luka Doncic (hip), who also have questionable tags. If Reaves plays and either or both of the other two stars sit, he'll have a very high ceiling against the Heat, but there's also a chance that the Lakers sit all three stars. If Reaves doesn't play, Marcus Smart, Jake LaRavia, Rui Hachimura, and Luke Kennard could step in and pick up more work. Reaves has played big minutes lately, but he has been quiet offensively, while Luka and LeBron have carried most of the work.

Los Angeles Clippers guard Darius Garland (toe) will not play on Thursday, as his team finishes a back-to-back set against the Pelicans in New Orleans. Garland played 29 minutes in the team's loss on Wednesday, but only had 13 points to go with six assists. While he is out for injury maintenance on Thursday, Kris Dunn and Jordan Miller will carry more work in the backcourt, while Kawhi Leonard (ankle) will be more the focal point of the offense if he's able to play through a questionable tag of his own. Garland's next chance to return will be Saturday in Dallas.

Los Angeles Lakers forward LeBron James (foot) may not be taking his talents to South Beach after all--at least not for Thursday's game against the Heat. James was listed as questionable for the second game of the team's back-to-back, along with Luka Doncic (hip) and Austin Reaves (forearm). If any one or two of the three play, they'll have a large workload, and if all three sit, Marcus Smart, Rui Hachimura, and Luke Kennard could step in and pick up more work. For LeBron specifically, Rui Hachimura and Jake LaRavia would likely step up at forward, making them good plays against the up-tempo Heat on Thursday if James gets the night off.

Los Angeles Lakers guard Luka Doncic (hip) was listed as questionable for the second game of his team's back-to-back on Thursday. After beating the Rockets on Wednesday, the Lakers listed Doncic, LeBron James (foot), and Austin Reaves (forearm) each as questionable for Thursday's game in Miami. Doncic had 40 points, 10 assists, and nine rebounds in Wednesday's win, but he had to play 38 minutes. He also played big minutes against Houston on Monday in another win. Doncic and the Lakers have won seven straight, and during that span, Luka has averaged 38.1 points, 9.1 rebounds, 8.0 assists, 2.0 steals, and 1.0 blocks across 37.4 minutes per game. With such a heavy workload, the Lakers could get him a day off on Thursday in Miami. If he's out, James or Reaves could pick up more work if available, but if the Lakers rest all their stars, Marcus Smart, Rui Hachimura, Luke Kennard, and Bronny James could be in the mix for more opportunities.

Detroit Pistons point guard Cade Cunningham (lung) will miss at least two weeks, according to the official team update, as he deals with a left collapsed lung. He will be re-evaluated at that time, although this kind of injury usually sidelines players a little longer than just two weeks. There is still optimism that he'll be back for the playoffs, but he may come up short of qualifying for postseason awards if he doesn't play any more games. This is also a huge hit for the Pistons, who are the top seed in the Eastern Conference and have looked like title contenders. In the short term, Daniss Jenkins and Marcus Sasser will fill in for Cunningham, who was averaging 24.5 points, 5.6 rebounds, 9.9 assists, and 1.5 steals. Jalen Duren and the rest of the rotation will all get more usage as the team battles to stay atop the Conference while Cunningham recovers. The timeline is still uncertain, but he'll be out until at least early April.

Detroit Pistons point guard Cade Cunningham has been diagnosed with a collapsed lung and is expected to miss an extended period of time, ESPN's Shams Charania reports. This is a massive blow for the Eastern Conference-leading Pistons, who have looked like title contenders this season. Cunningham has led the way for the team, averaging 24.5 points, 5.6 rebounds, 9.9 assists, and 1.5 steals. With Cunningham out, Daniss Jenkins and Marcus Sasser will move up on the depth chart. Jenkins has consistently performed well without Cunningham and could be a difference-maker for fantasy teams. He has averaged 14.8 points, 2.9 rebounds, 7.0 assists, and 1.3 steals as a starter this season.

Philadelphia 76ers forward/center Jabari Walker (illness) has been removed from the injury report ahead of Thursday's tilt against the Sacramento Kings. He has sat out three games while battling an illness. Walker will compete with Trendon Watford for backup minutes in the frontcourt. As a reserve, Walker doesn't have any fantasy appeal, averaging 4.7 points and 3.1 rebounds in 12.3 minutes coming off the bench this season. He may currently have a slightly larger workload due to the absence of Joel Embiid (oblique), Paul George (suspension), and Kelly Oubre Jr. (elbow).

San Antonio Spurs guard/forward Devin Vassell (ankle) will hop back into the lineup on Thursday against the Phoenix Suns. He hasn't been listed on the injury report after sitting out the second game of a back-to-back on Tuesday against Sacramento. Vassell's absence allowed Harrison Barnes to start against his former team, and the veteran will return to a reserve role on Thursday night. In recent weeks, Vassell has struggled with consistency, averaging 13.9 points, 3.9 rebounds, and 2.8 assists in March.

Orlando Magic guard Anthony Black (abdomen) has been ruled out for Thursday's contest against the Charlotte Hornets. His absence due to an abdominal sprain will stretch to seven games. It's unclear when Black will be ready to return. Tristan da Silva has started in Black's absence and is likely to remain in the first unit on Thursday night. The 24-year-old has averaged 11.6 points and 4.6 rebounds across 27 starts this season. Da Silva tends to be inconsistent as a starter. He kicked off last week with back-to-back 20-point games but has added 31 points in three outings since then.

Washington Wizards guard/forward Bilal Coulibaly (heel) is considered questionable for Thursday's clash against the Detroit Pistons. He could be sidelined for a second consecutive game after missing the second leg of a back-to-back on Tuesday night against the Pistons. Justin Champagnie slid into the first unit on Tuesday and could retain his spot after a strong performance. He led Washington with nine rebounds and had 18 points, two assists, and one steal. Champagnie's averages as a starter this season are 10.1 points and 6.4 rebounds per game.

Indiana Pacers center Ivica Zubac (head) didn't complete Wednesday's matchup with the Portland Trail Blazers, Dustin Dopirak of The Indianapolis Star reports. The Croatian big man took a blow to the head in the fourth quarter, exiting the action with 10:44 remaining in the frame. This was Zubac's fifth and best outing for the Pacers. He tallied 18 points, eight rebounds, three assists, and one block in 23 minutes. Jay Huff started at center before Zubac was ready to make his Pacers debut, and he is likely to slot back into the spot if Zubac isn't available on Friday against the San Antonio Spurs. Kobe Brown would also have an increased role, especially if Micah Potter (triceps) remains out.

Lakers' G Luka Doncic recorded a double-double, scoring 40 points with 10 assists in a 124-116 win over Houston on Wednesday, Mar. 18.

Jazz's F Brice Sensabaugh scored 41 points on 17-of-31 shooting in a 111-147 loss to Minnesota on Wednesday, Mar. 18.

Phoenix Suns guard/forward Grayson Allen (knee) is questionable to face the San Antonio Spurs on Thursday night. He might miss a second consecutive game due to a sore left knee. Collin Gillespie and Jordan Goodwin are candidates for additional playing time with Allen missing from the rotation. The former led the Suns with 37 minutes on Tuesday night against Minnesota, contributing 12 points, four rebounds, seven assists, and one steal. Goodwin had three points, eight rebounds, two assists, and two steals across 24 minutes.
