Rotoworld

Deron Williams

CLE Point Guard #31

Personalize your Rotoworld feed by favoriting players
Deron Williams (sore left foot) and Kris Humphries (calf) did not practice on Thursday, but will play on Friday against the Celtics.

The Nets are giving two guys who play huge minutes a maintenance day during the compressed season. With both expected to play, owners should keep both players entrenched as fixtures in the lineup.

Luguentz Dort

OKC Guard #5

Personalize your Rotoworld feed by favoriting players

Luguentz Dort, Shai Gilgeous-Alexander, Chet Holmgren, Jalen Williams and Aaron Wiggins will start against the Rockets on Thursday.

Dort (foot) is back from a one-game absence and will reclaim his usual spot in the Thunder’s starting lineup. He’ll join a cast of familiar faces in the opening lineup for the Thunder’s first matchup with the Rockets since their opening-day double-overtime thriller, which OKC won by a point.

Jaylen Brown

BOS Guard-Forward #7

Derrick White, Payton Pritchard, Jaylen Brown, Sam Hauser and Neemias Queta will start Thursday’s game against the Heat.

Brown is back after lower back spasms sidelined him for Monday’s loss to the Pacers. As a result, Baylor Scheierman heads to the bench, and the second-year guard could fall out of the rotation entirely. The other four starters are unchanged.

Pelle Larsson

MIA Guard #9

Tyler Herro, Norman Powell, Andrew Wiggins, Pelle Larsson and Bam Adebayo will start Thursday’s game against the Celtics.

The Heat are without Davion Mitchell, who’s out with a left shoulder contusion. He’ll be replaced in the lineup by Larsson, which means more on-ball playmaking duties for Herro and Powell.

Max Christie

DAL Guard #00
Max Christie (illness) is out for Thursday’s game against the Jazz.

Christie will miss a second consecutive game after sitting out Wednesday’s loss to the Nuggets. Jaden Hardy has started the last two games and should remain in the starting lineup, since the Mavericks are without multiple rotation players.

Kyle Kuzma

MIL Forward #18

Kyle Kuzma (illness) is available for Thursday’s game against the Spurs.

Initially questionable for Thursday’s game, Kuzma is good to go after going through his pregame routine without issue. In his usual reserve role, Kuzma has not offered reliable fantasy value, even in deeper leagues.

P.J. Washington

DAL Forward #25
P.J. Washington (ankle) is out for Thursday’s game against the Jazz.

Thursday’s game is the second in as many nights for the Mavericks, so Washington will not play for injury management reasons. Already a solid streaming option, Naji Marshall becomes even more attractive to fantasy managers. More scoring opportunities will also be available to Klay Thompson due to how shorthanded the Mavericks are.

Daniel Gafford

DAL Forward-Center #21

Daniel Gafford (ankle) will not play against the Jazz on Thursday.

Gafford is one of several Dallas starters unavailable for Thursday’s game due to injury. The veteran center suffered the injury in Wednesday’s loss to the Nuggets, which forced him to exit the game early and not return. Dwight Powell is a likely candidate to fill in and log heavy minutes for the injured Gafford.

Cooper Flagg

DAL Forward #32
Cooper Flagg (ankle) is out for Thursday’s game against the Jazz.

Flagg injured his ankle during Wednesday’s loss to the Nuggets, the same one he tweaked the game prior against the Nets. Given how depleted the Mavericks’ rotation will be for Thursday’s game, expect to see a lot of Jaden Hardy and Caleb Martin out of necessity.

Giannis Antetokounmpo

MIL Forward #34
Giannis Antetokounmpo (ankle) is available to play Thursday vs. the Spurs

Antetokounmpo was upgraded from probable to available ahead of Thursday’s contest, giving the Bucks their best offensive threat against the Spurs. The former league MVP is averaging 29.1 points, 9.7 rebounds and 5.7 assists per game so far this season. He’ll have a chance to outproduce another top fantasy basketball option in Victor Wembanyama.

Luguentz Dort

OKC Guard #5
Luguentz Dort (foot) is available for Thursday’s game against the Rockets.

Dort is back after a one-game absence, moving the Thunder closer to full strength. His return means that either Cason Wallace or Aaron Wiggins will head to the bench, with the other filling the void left by Isaiah Hartenstein (calf).
