Utah Jazz guardJordan Clarkson (foot) won't suit up Thursday against the Los Angeles Clippers due to left foot plantar fasciitis injury management. Clarkson will sit out the second leg of Utah's back-to-back after finishing with 21 points, nine rebounds and seven assists in 29 minutes in a 131-119 win over the Los Angeles Lakers on Wednesday. With the 32-year-old out and Collin Sexton(ankle) still sidelined, Keyonte George will have plenty of extra scoring opportunities on Thursday.

Utah Jazz guardCollin Sexton(ankle) will remain sidelined for Thursday's matchup against the Los Angeles Clippers. This will mark his sixth straight absence due to a left ankle sprain. His next chance to suit up comes after the All-Star break against the Thunder on February 21st. Jordan Clarkson(foot)will also be out of action, so 21-year-old Keyonte Georgeis most likely the prime candidate to see more minutes on the floor this evening.

Dallas Mavericks guard Dante Exum (Achilles) is questionable Thursday due to Achilles tightness. The 29-year-old Australian has been limited to six games this season, averaging 19 minutes per game and producing 9.2 points, 3.7 assists, and 1.5 rebounds per contest. Kyrie Irving (shoulder) and Klay Thompson (foot) are also questionable, so Exum could end up in a big role if he's available. If the Mavs go into their final game before the All-Star break without Kyrie, Klay, and Exum, they will need other players to shoulder the offensive workload like Jalen Hardy, Spencer Dinwiddie, and new arrival Max Christie.

Dallas Mavericks forward Klay Thompson (foot) played 34 minutes against his former team on Wednesday night, but he is listed as questionable on Thursday against Miami for the second half of the Mavericks' back-to-back set of games before the All-Star break. Thompson had 17 points, seven assists, two rebounds, two blocks, and a steal in the win and has been a solid recent contributor for the Mavericks, who are dealing with multiple injuries in their frontcourt. Thompson is joined by Kyrie Irving (shoulder) as questionable on the injury report, and if Kyrie is out but Klay plays, he could have a heavy workload. If both starters are sidelined, the rest of the depth chart will be especially busy, opening huge fantasy opportunities for Spencer Dinwiddie, Max Christie, and Naji Marshall.

Miami Heat forward Kevin Love (personal) is away from the team on Thursday for personal reasons and will miss a second straight game. The veteran is only averaging 10.5 minutes per game in his 19 games this season, so his absence won't impact the rotation very much. Haywood Highsmith and Nikola Jovic will continue to get most of the work at forward coming off the bench, although both could be in for extra work depending on the status of Bam Adebayo (knee), who is questionable.

Oklahoma City Thunder guardCason Wallace(shoulder) has been ruled out for Thursday's game against the Minnesota Timberwolves. He missed the previous six games due to a right shoulder sprain and will remain sidelined. Wallace has been a key depth piece for OKC, contributing on both ends of the floor with season averages of 7.3 points and 1.8 steals per game. With him out again, Aaron Wigginswill likely see extra minutes this evening.

Dallas Mavericks guard Kyrie Irving (shoulder) was listed as questionable for Thursday's home game against the Heat. Irving logged 40 minutes in Wednesday night's win over the Warriors, pouring in 42 points to go with seven rebounds. He had 30 points on Monday, so he's having a huge week, but he's also battling shoulder soreness now, so he may have to sit out on Thursday against Miami. The Mavericks also listed Klay Thompson (foot) and Dante Exum (Achilles) as questionable, and if those main contributors sit, there will be heavy minutes and usage available for Spencer Dinwiddie, Jaden Hardy, and Max Christie in the backcourt.

Oklahoma City Thunder guardAlex Caruso(hip) won't play Thursday against the Minnesota Timberwolves. Caruso is out due to a left hip injury he suffered against Miami on Wednesday. While the 30-year-old is sidelined, Isaiah Joe will likely continue to see extra minutes on the floor. Joe finished with 10 points, three rebounds, and one assist across 27 minutes in a win versus the Heat in his last outing. The 25-year-old could be a solid option for fantasy managers looking for streamers.

Miami Heat guard Terry Rozier (illness) will miss a second straight game while battling a stomach bug that has been circulating in the Heat's locker room. Rozier also missed Wednesday night's loss in Oklahoma City, allowing Davion Mitchell to start alongside Tyler Herro in the backcourt. Mitchell had 14 points, three assists, a steal, and a rebound in his 35 minutes, and he'll likely get plenty of work again on Thursday. Duncan Robinson (illness) will return from his one-game absence, but Mitchell's playing time should be relatively secure since Andrew Wiggins (illness) will join Rozier on the sidelines.

Miami Heat forward Andrew Wiggins (illness) has been ruled out of Thursday's game in Dallas against the Mavericks. Wiggins has played two games for Miami since joining the team in the Jimmy Butler trade. He had 13 points, four rebounds, and three assists in Wednesday's loss to Oklahoma City, but he won't be able to play on the second night of the team's back-to-back games as they stop in Dallas. With Wiggins out, Jaime Jaquez Jr. will likely pick up much more work while Haywood Highsmith and Pelle Larsson could see increased minutes and usage as well.

Miami Heat guard Duncan Robinson missed Wednesday night's loss to Oklahoma City with a stomach bug that is going around the Miami locker room, but he is listed as probable to play on Thursday night when Miami finishes its back-to-back set against the Mavs. With Andrew Wiggins (illness) out and Bam Adebayo (knee) questionable, Robinson could even get more usage than normal if he is up for it. He could also start in Wiggins' place, and in his last 11 games as a starter, he averaged 12.0 points, 2.5 rebounds, 2.5 assists, and 2.8 three-pointers in 28.5 minutes per game. He has some streaming appeal if you need three-pointers headed into the All-Star break.

Miami Heat forward/center Bam Adebayo (knee) could be forced to miss Miami's final game before the All-Star break since he was listed as questionable for Thursday's game in Dallas. Adebayo has been putting up big numbers with at least 18 points in eight straight games and six double-doubles in his last nine. He had 27 points and 15 boards in 35 minutes against the Thunder on Wednesday, but now he's dealing with a left knee contusion that could sideline him for the second game of the back-to-back. If he's unable to give it a go, Nikola Jovic, Kyle Anderson, and Haywood Highsmith would be set up for more work while Kel'el Ware would have more space to dominate against a banged-up Dallas frontcourt.

Timberwolves center Rudy Gobert (back) appeared on the team's injury report for Thursday night's Western Conference showdown against the Thunder. The Timberwolves played a tough game against Milwaukee on Wednesday night, and Gobert had 20 points and 14 rebounds in 38 minutes. The 32-year-old Frenchman has played all 55 of the Timberwolves' games this season, averaging 11.0 points, 10.4 rebounds, 1.8 assists and 1.5 blocked shots in 33.3 minutes per game. Anthony Edwards (hip) is also questionable, and with Julius Randle (groin) already out, the Timberwolves could be extremely short-handed against the Thunder. If Gobert is out, Naz Reid and Luke Garza would likely carry most of the work at center

Timberwolves guard Mike Conley (finger) is part of a lengthy injury report for the Timberwolves as they head in Thursday's matchup against the Thunder. Anthony Edwards (hip) and Rudy Gobert (back) join Conley as questionable, and Minnesota may just let the young guys carry the load as they head into the All-Star break. Conley has missed the last three games with a sprained right index finger, and while he has been out, Nickeil Alexander-Walker and Rob Dillingham have been productive in the backcourt. Both NAW and Dillingham have huge upside as streaming and DFS plays if Conley remains out and Edwards also gets the night off.

Minnesota Timberwolves guard Anthony Edwards (hip) is listed as questionable for Thursday night's showdown with the Thunder. Edwards missed a game last Saturday due to the injury but played through a questionable tag on Wednesday against the Bucks. He had 28 points, seven rebounds, four assists, and two steals in the narrow, two-point defeat and has been very effective when available despite regularly appearing on the injury report. If he does end up taking Thursday off before the All-Star break, Nickeil Alexander-Walker, Jaylen Clark and Rob Dillingham would be set up for increased workload in a tough matchup against Oklahoma City

New Orleans Pelicans guard Brandon Boston Jr. (ankle) will miss a third straight game on Thursday when the Pelicans finish a back-to-back set of games at home against the Kings. Boston averaged 10.7 points, 3.2 rebounds, 2.2 assists, and 1.3 steals in 23.4 minutes per game in his 42 games, but he won't have a chance to return to the rotation now until after the All-Star break. CJ McCollum and Jose Alvarado will continue to carry the load in the backcourt, while newcomer Bruce Brown will stay involved off the bench after playing 26 minutes in his Pelicans debut on Wednesday.

Pelicans center Kelly Olynyk (not with the team) will not make his debut with the Pelicans on Thursday went the team takes on the Kings for the second day in a row. Olynyk averaged 15.6 minutes per game off the bench in Toronto before being traded to New Orleans as part of the deal that sent Brandon Ingram to the Raptors. Olynyk's role with his new team is still uncertain, but while he's out Thursday along with Zion Williamson (conditioning), there will be plenty of minutes and usage available for Yves Missi, Karlo Matkovic, Jeremiah Robinson-Earl, and Javonte Green.

Pelicans forward Zion Williamson (conditioning) will not play Thursday night to finish off a back-to-back set of games against the Kings. Williamson played 28 minutes and racked up 33 points, nine rebounds, and seven assists in one of his best games of the year on Wednesday, but the Pelicans still lost their 10th straight game. Despite his recent production, Zion is still not quite ready to play consecutive days. In his place, Karlo Matkovic, Javonte Green, and Jeremiah Robinson-Earl are lined up for more work on Thursday in a favorable matchup against Sacramento. Matkovic fouled out in just 14 scoreless minutes on Wednesday, but he still makes an interesting streaming or DFS option since he showed intriguing upside over the past few weeks.

Guard Markelle Fultz has signed a contract with the Sacramento Kings for the remainder of the season. The former first-overall pick will add extra playmaking to the team, which recently lost De'Aaron Fox and Davion Mitchell in two separate trades. Fultz, who has struggled with injuries throughout his career, has not yet played this season. He averaged 7.8 points, 3.2 rebounds, 2.8 assists, and 1.0 steals in 21.2 minutes with the Orlando Magic last term. His agent and attorney, Raymond Brothers of I AM Sports & Entertainment, told ESPN that Fultz is healthy and ready to play. If he can regain some of his best form, Fultz could prove to be an excellent pickup for the Kings, though he likely won't have a significant impact in fantasy basketball.

Houston Rockets forward Tari Eason (lower leg) will not be in the lineup on Thursday against the Golden State Warriors. Eason has managed a lower leg injury throughout the campaign, and the team will keep him out of action for the second leg of a back-to-back. On Wednesday, Eason had a big night against the Phoenix Suns, scoring a team-high 25 points while also recording nine rebounds, four assists, and three steals in 34 minutes. Eason started instead of Aaron Holiday, who may move back to the starting unit for Thursday's action. At the same time, Cam Whitmore and Jae'Sean Tate could see a few extra minutes with Eason unavailable.
