Rotoworld

Andrew Nicholson

Power Forward #44

Personalize your Rotoworld feed by favoriting players
St. Bonaventure PF Andrew Nicholson was drafted No. 19 overall by the Magic.

Nicholson is a versatile player with a well-polished offensive game for a big man, averaging 12.0 points last season on 57.1 percent shooting, including 43.4 percent from downtown. He’s also a solid rebounder (8.4) and shot-blocker (2.0), which just might come in handy if and when Dwight Howard leaves town. He is 6'10" and needs to get stronger, so he’s not likely to play many minutes at center as a rookie.

Robert Williams

POR Center-Forward #35

Robert Williams III (knee) is questionable for Thursday’s matchup with the Jazz.

Time Lord could miss time on Thursday due to left knee injury management. If Williams III is ultimately ruled out, Yang Hansen could log additional playing time as Donovan Clingan’s backup.

Deni Avdija

POR Forward #8
Deni Avdija (back) is questionable for Thursday’s matchup with the Jazz.

Avdija has been dealing with a back issue, and he could get the night off for the second leg of the Blazers’ back-to-back set. If Avdija is ultimately ruled out, Sidy Cissoko could see increased run.

Deandre Ayton

LAL Center #5
Deandre Ayton (knee) is out for Thursday’s game against the Mavericks.

Ayton is set to miss his second consecutive game with right knee soreness. Jaxson Hayes got the start and had 13 points, four rebounds and three assists in 17 minutes against the Spurs on Tuesday. Hayes will likely start again with Drew Timme backing him up as the reserve center.

Scoot Henderson

POR Guard #00

Scoot Henderson is not listed on the injury report for Thursday’s matchup with the Jazz.

Henderson logged 19 minutes on Wednesday, and he’ll surprisingly be available for the second leg of Portland’s back-to-back set. His availability is an encouraging update for his long-term health, and fantasy managers should be optimistic heading into the All-Star break.

Shaedon Sharpe

POR Guard #17
Shaedon Sharpe (calf) is out for Thursday’s matchup with the Jazz.

Sharpe will sit out a fourth straight game, and with Deni Avdija banged up, Jerami Grant could be in line for increased run. Scoot Henderson is available and could take on additional minutes as well.

Keyonte George

UTA Guard #3
Keyonte George (ankle) is out for Thursday’s matchup with the Trail Blazers.

George will get another night off, and he’ll look to recover during the All-Star break. Even if he comes back from the break healthy, George is a candidate to miss games down the stretch as the Jazz look to secure a more favorable pick in the 2026 NBA Draft. Isaiah Collier has shined with George out, so fantasy managers should continue to deploy him until further notice.

Lauri Markkanen

UTA Forward-Center #23
Lauri Markkanen (rest) is out for Thursday’s matchup with the Trail Blazers.

Jaren Jackson Jr. (knee) is out for the season, and the Jazz were already sitting their stars in the fourth quarter. It was only a matter of time before Markkanen started missing games, and Thursday’s matchup with Portland surely won’t be the last of the 2025-26 campaign. Kyle Filipowski should be in line for big minutes tonight, and he’s worth streaming for the small, three-game slate.

Isaiah Hartenstein

OKC Center-Forward #55
Isaiah Hartenstein (calf) is out for Thursday’s matchup with the Bucks.

Hartenstein will get the night off for the second leg of Oklahoma City’s back-to-back set, which means Chet Holmgren should shoulder the load at center. Jaylin Williams will likely see a big bump in playing time, as Jalen Williams is also out.

Ajay Mitchell

OKC Guard #25

Ajay Mitchell (abdominal) will miss Thursday’s matchup with the Bucks.

Mitchell will join multiple teammates on the sideline and extend his streak of absences to 11. He does not have a timeline for return.

Jalen Williams

OKC Guard-Forward #8

Jalen Williams (hamstring) is out for Thursday’s matchup with Milwaukee.

J-Dub went off for 28 points in Wednesday’s win over the Suns, but he’ll sit out the second leg of OKC’s back-to-back set. He’s still not playing a full allotment of minutes, so his absence isn’t surprising. Fantasy managers will hope that Williams can use the time off to get healthy for the final stretch of the season.
