Minnesota Timberwolves guard Anthony Edwards (knee) is unavailable for Thursday's game against the Detroit Pistons. Edwards will sit out tonight despite returning after missing six games in Monday's win over the Mavs, when he recorded 17 points, two rebounds and four assists across 23 minutes. The 24-year-old's next opportunity to suit up comes Friday against the 76ers. Mike Conley, Bones Hyland, Ayo Dosunmu and Terrence Shannon Jr. should see extra minutes tonight, especially with Jaden McDaniels (knee) also sidelined.

Golden State Warriors center Quinten Post (foot) is unavailable for Thursday's game against the Cleveland Cavaliers. Post is set to sit out his second consecutive contest due to right foot injury management. The 26-year-old was out of action during Wednesday's loss to San Antonio and exited Sunday's tilt against Denver after five minutes on the floor. Draymond Green and Kristaps Porzingis will take on extended frontcourt minutes with Post sidelined.

According to Paul Garcia of ProjectSpurs.com, San Antonio Spurs center Luke Kornet (knee) will play Thursday against the Los Angeles Clippers. Kornet is set to return after missing Wednesday's win over Golden State. The 30-year-old veteran big man will likely start in place of superstar Victor Wembanyama (ankle), who is sidelined due to ankle injury management. Across 63 outings, Kornet is averaging 6.6 points, 6.2 rebounds and 1.8 assists in 21.0 minutes per contest.

San Antonio Spurs center forward/center Victor Wembanyama (ankle) is slated to miss Thursday's matchup with the Los Angeles Clippers, per NBA reporter Matthew Tynan. This will be the second half of a back-to-back that Wembanyama will sit out for ankle injury management. Notably, the superstar big man finished with 41 points, 18 rebounds, three assists, and three blocks across 29 minutes during Wednesday's 127-113 victory over Golden State. Looking ahead, he should be back in action on Saturday against Denver. In the meantime, Luke Kennard and Mason Plumlee are in line for expanded roles while Wembanyama is out.

According to Eric Vincent of ClutchPoints.com, Detroit Pistons point guard Cade Cunningham (lung) continues to make progress in his return to play from his collapsed lung recovery and will be re-evulated in one week. The Pistons are optimistic that Cunningham may return for the playoffs, and they haven't ruled out his return before the end of the regular season. Fantasy managers should expect Daniss Jenkins and Marcus Sasser (hip) to have heavier workloads until the superstar guard recovers and is back in action.

Los Angeles Clippers center Isaiah Jackson (ankle) will remain out on Thursday against the San Antonio Spurs. He sprained his right ankle last week and is still being evaluated to determine a return timetable. Jackson had been a good mid-season addition to the Clippers' second unit, averaging 7.5 points, 4.6 rebounds, and 1.2 blocks in 15.9 minutes. During Jackson's absence, Brook Lopez's workload has increased as the starting center. He produced a solid all-around line across 38 minutes against Portland on Tuesday, finishing a 114-104 defeat with 18 points, seven rebounds, two assists, and three blocks. In Thursday's matchup against the defensively elite Victor Wembanyama, Lopez is unlikely to have a significant impact on offense.

Phoenix Suns guard Jordan Goodwin (hip) will be in the lineup on Thursday against the Charlotte Hornets. He was sent for further evaluation after suffering a hip injury on Tuesday against Orlando. This apparently wasn't a serious issue, and Goodwin hasn't been listed on the injury report ahead of Thursday's game. The 27-year-old has played an important role for the Suns this season, posting averages of 9.7 points, 6.7 rebounds, 2.8 assists, and 2.5 steals in 26.4 minutes per game over his last six appearances. He continues to make an impact on both ends of the court despite being moved to a bench role last week.

Cleveland Cavaliers guard/forward Sam Merrill (hamstring) will play on Thursday against the Golden State Warriors. The team has removed him from the injury report after Merrill missed Tuesday's loss to the Lakers to manage a hamstring injury. Merrill has been a starter in each of his last 14 appearances, and his return to the rotation is likely to send Max Strus back to the bench. Although Merrill scored just nine points on Monday night against Utah, he has recently gone through one of his best stretches of the season. Across his last seven outings, Merrill has tallied 14.4 points, 4.3 rebounds, and 2.7 assists per game.

Oklahoma City Thunder guard/forward Alex Caruso (illness) is questionable for Thursday's matchup with the Los Angeles Lakers. The former Laker is dealing with an illness and could be out of the lineup for the first time in 11 games. Caruso's absence would open up playing time for Aaron Wiggins, Jared McCain, and Isaiah Joe. However, the Thunder's second unit could have a quiet night since the Lakers are one of the toughest teams to generate field-goal attempts against as a reserve.

Oklahoma City Thunder forward Jalen Williams (hamstring) will be active against the Los Angeles Lakers on Thursday night. He was held out of Monday's matchup with Detroit as the defending champions wrapped up a back-to-back. Williams has yet to play more than 29 minutes since returning from a hamstring injury last week. He has averaged 16.3 points, 3.5 rebounds, and 4.8 assists in 24.8 minutes per game. The good news is that Williams' minutes have steadily increased with each appearance. He could be ready to handle 30-plus minutes on Thursday night if needed. Due to Williams' return, Ajay Mitchell will move to the second unit, but his workload likely won't change much.

Oklahoma City Thunder center Isaiah Hartenstein (calf) isn't on the injury report ahead of Thursday's Western Conference showdown against the Los Angeles Lakers. He missed the second game of a back-to-back on Monday against Detroit. Hartenstein has been a jack of all trades for the Thunder recently, averaging 7.4 points, 13.2 rebounds, 4.2 assists, and 1.8 steals per game over his last five outings. On Thursday night, Hartenstein has a tricky matchup against the Lakers, who have allowed the fifth-fewest fantasy points in the league to centers this season.

New York Knicks' C Karl-Anthony Towns recorded a triple-double, finishing with 20 points, 11 assists and 11 rebounds in a 130-119 win over Memphis on Wednesday, Apr. 1.

Spurs' C Victor Wembanyama recorded a double-double, scoring 41 points and grabbing 18 rebounds in a 127-113 win over Golden State on Wednesday, Apr. 1.

Denver Nuggets' C Nikola Jokic recorded a triple-double, finishing with 15 points, 12 assists and 17 rebounds in a 130-117 win over Utah on Wednesday, Apr. 1.

Boston's F Jayson Tatum recorded a triple-double, finishing with 25 points, 11 assists and 18 rebounds in a 147-129 win over Miami on Wednesday, Apr. 1.

Boston Celtics' F Jaylen Brown scored 43 points on 17-of-29 shooting in a 147-129 win over Miami on Wednesday, Apr. 1.

Atlanta Hawks center Jock Landale (ankle) will not return to Wednesday's game against Orlando after suffering a right ankle sprain, finishing with eight points, one rebound, and one assist in 15 minutes. If Landale is forced to miss additional time, Onyeka Okongwu should continue handling heavy frontcourt minutes after posting 16 points, seven rebounds, four assists, two steals, and two blocks in 31 minutes. Jonathan Kuminga could also see increased offensive chances off the bench, while Mouhamed Gueye may pick up situational minutes. Okongwu stands out as the clearest fantasy beneficiary if Landale remains sidelined.

Philadelphia 76ers guard/forward Paul George erupted for a season-high 39 points in Wednesday's win over Washington, adding six assists, five rebounds, three steals, and six three-pointers in 30 minutes. The veteran wing has been rolling lately, averaging 28.0 points, 7.0 rebounds, 5.0 triples, 3.5 assists, and 3.0 steals across his last four games while handling a 28.1 usage rate. George looks locked in as a must-start option in all formats, especially with Joel Embiid (illness) sidelined. Tyrese Maxey should continue seeing steady usage, while VJ Edgecombe and Kelly Oubre Jr. could see slightly fewer scoring chances with George taking on a larger offensive role.

Portland Trail Blazers forward Jerami Grant (calf) will miss Thursday's game against New Orleans, extending his recent absence due to a lingering calf strain. His continued absence should keep Scoot Henderson in an elevated role after the young guard produced 15 points with three three-pointers in 29 minutes in the last win over the Clippers and 21 points with seven assists in a prior start. Henderson shapes up as a strong short-term points and assists streamer, while Deni Avdija and Jrue Holiday could also see slightly higher offensive workloads until Grant returns.

New Orleans Pelicans guard/forward Trey Murphy III (ankle) is questionable for Thursday's game against Portland and could miss a fourth straight contest due to a right ankle sprain. With the Pelicans out of the playoff race, the team may remain cautious, which keeps Jeremiah Fears and Jordan Hawkins on the deep-league radar for streaming value. Fears posted 12 points, five assists, two steals, and one block in 22 minutes in the last game, while Yves Missi added four blocks as a starter but remains a defensive specialist option. Zion Williamson and Dejounte Murray should continue seeing steady usage if Murphy sits.
