BKN Shooting Guard #14

Personalize your Rotoworld feed by favoriting players

ESPN’s Shams Charania reports that Ricky Council IV has signed a one-year deal with the Nets.

Council IV saw his playing time nearly double in Year 2 as he logged 17.1 minutes across 73 appearances in 2024-25. In 12 starts, the Arkansas product averaged 12.9 points and 6.2 rebounds. He could see meaningful rotation minutes for Brooklyn during the upcoming campaign.

Drake Powell

BKN Guard-Forward #4

Personalize your Rotoworld feed by favoriting players
Drake Powell (ankle) will not return to Thursday’s game against the Heat.

Powell played four minutes before exiting with a sprained right ankle. His exit likely means more time for fellow reserve Jalen Wilson, but this will not have a significant impact on fantasy basketball.

Tim Hardaway

DEN Guard-Forward #10

Tim Hardaway Jr. (illness) is available for Thursday’s game against the Magic.

Hardaway is good to go after being listed as questionable on the initial injury report. With Peyton Watson (trunk) joining Christian Braun and Aaron Gordon on the sidelines, there’s a high likelihood that Hardaway will be in the starting lineup.

Peyton Watson

DEN Guard #8

Peyton Watson (trunk) is out for Thursday’s game against the Magic.

Injured during Monday’s win over the Rockets, Watson will not play on Thursday. His absence opens up a spot in the starting lineup, with Tim Hardaway Jr. being the player most likely to fill the void. Due to Watson’s early exit, Hardaway played a season-high 39 minutes on Monday and started the third quarter.

Gary Trent

MIL Guard #5
Kevin Porter Jr., Gary Trent Jr., AJ Green, Myles Turner and Jericho Sims will start Thursday’s game against the Raptors.

Green is back in the starting lineup after missing three games with a shoulder injury. Kyle Kuzma, who was the replacement in the starting lineup, is not available due to illness. The other change to Milwaukee’s lineup is that Ryan Rollins has been bumped to the bench, with Trent starting alongside Porter. Those who have Rollins rostered must watch closely, as his fantasy value will take a hit if this change holds.

Alex Sarr

WAS Center #20
Bub Carrington, CJ McCollum, Bilal Coulibaly, Kyshawn George and Alex Sarr will start Thursday’s game against the Spurs.

Sarr and Coulibaly are back in the Wizards’ starting lineup after missing time due to injury. As a result, Justin Champagnie and Marvin Bagley III will head to the bench. This ensures that Carrington will continue to start, as the Wizards remain without Khris Middleton.

Cam Christie

LAC Guard #12

Cam Christie (foot) is out for Thursday’s game against the Thunder.

Christie is dealing with right foot soreness. His current role isn’t significant enough to impact fantasy basketball with his availability and he should be left on the waiver wire for now.

Seth Curry

GSW Guard #31

Seth Curry (glute) is out for Thursday’s game against the Suns.

Curry will be inactive for a fifth consecutive game. His absence will not affect fantasy basketball due to the lack of game action that he’s received.

Tristan da Silva

ORL Forward #23
Tristan da Silva (shoulder) is out for Thursday’s game against the Nuggets.

The Magic are severely shorthanded in the backcourt against the Nuggets on Thursday. Orlando is already down Jalen Suggs and Franz Wanger and now da Silva has also been ruled out. Jett Howard and Jase Richardson should see addition minutes in this one, though neither are anything more than a desperation streaming option in deeper formats.

Jonathan Isaac

ORL Forward #1
Jonathan Isaac (hip) is out for Thursday’s game against the Nuggets.

Added to the Magic injury report on Thursday afternoon, Isaac is now out. There may be additional rotation minutes available to Jett Howard, as the Magic will also be without Tristan da Silva. There’s no need to consider streaming Howard.

Grayson Allen

PHX Guard #8
Grayson Allen (knee) is out for Thursday’s game against the Warriors.

Allen is out with right knee soreness. Royce O’Neale could be in line for the start against the Warriors. O’Neale isn’t a must-stream option, but he could provide some three-pointers and steals for fantasy managers that need those categories.
