Fantasy Impact: Lillard was not on the injury report heading into Friday but has been added due to a groin injury. He is still likely to play, but this is a situation to monitor as we get closer to game time.
Sidy Cissoko is listed as questionable for Friday's game against the Bucks. (Source: NBA Injury Report)
Fantasy Impact: Cissoko remains in the concussion protocol. He is off the fantasy radar when he is healthy.
Maxi Kleber underwent surgery on his broken right foot and is without a timetable to return. (Source: Mavs PR on Twitter)
Fantasy Impact: Kleber suffered the injury last week. Daniel Gafford will continue to play heavy minutes while Dereck Lively II and Dwight Powell are sidelined.
Julius Randle left Thursday's game early against the Jazz due to a groin injury. (Source: Minnesota Timberwolves PR on Twitter)
Fantasy Impact: Randle suffered the injury in the second quarter and did not return. If he misses any time, Naz Reid would be the biggest beneficiary for fantasy managers.
Gary Harris is available for Thursday's game against the Trail Blazers. (Source: NBA Injury Report)
Fantasy Impact: Harris is good to go for the first time in close to a month. He remains off the fantasy radar.
Ja Morant has been ruled out for Thursday's game against the Rockets. (Source: NBA Injury Report)
Fantasy Impact: This was the expectation for Morant after he was downgraded to doubtful. Luke Kennard and Scotty Pippen Jr. should take on more minutes in his absence.
Mike Conley has been ruled out for Thursday's game against the Jazz. (Source: NBA Injury Report)
Fantasy Impact: Conley will be out as he deals with a sprained thumb. Nickeil Alexander-Walker gets the spot start coming off scoring a season-high in points on Wednesday.
Jerami Grant has been ruled out for Thursday's game against the Magic. (Source: NBA Injury Report)
Fantasy Impact: Grant will be sidelined after he got injured in Tuesday's win over the Bucks. It will be Scoot Henderson starting in his place for Portland.
Alperen Sengun has been ruled out for Thursday's game against the Grizzlies. (Source: NBA Injury Report)
Fantasy Impact: Sengun was at shootaround, but he won't be able to go on Thursday. Steven Adams is set to start in his place.
LeBron James is available for Thursday's game against the Wizards. (Source: Ryan Ward on Twitter)
Fantasy Impact: James had been listed as questionable. He should remain in his expanded role with Anthony Davis sidelined.
Sam Merrill (illness) has been cleared to play in Thursday's game against the Atlanta Hawks. (Source: Ethan Sands on Twitter)
Fantasy Impact: Merrill will be available to play on Thursday, despite initially being on the injury report due to an illness that left him sidelined on Wednesday. He doesn't project to be a strong fantasy option against the Hawks.
Rui Hachimura is available for Thursday's game against the Wizards. (Source: Ryan Ward on Twitter)
Fantasy Impact: Hachimura is good to go as expected after being listed as probable. He'll remain in his usual role for the Lakers.
Daniel Theis (thumb) is unlikely to play in Friday's game against the Boston Celtics. (Source: New Orleans Pelicans on Twitter)
Fantasy Impact: The big man is a new addition to the team's injury report. He is dealing with a thumb injury right now, and it is expected to leave him sidelined on Friday. Yves Missi may see some additional work with the veteran set to miss this matchup.
Jordan Hawkins (illness) is questionable for Friday's game against the Boston Cetlics. (Source: New Orleans Pelicans on Twitter)
Fantasy Impact: Hawkins was sidelined for New Orleans' last game, but he will have a chance to make his return on Friday. He is recovering from an illness right now, but it shouldn't be more than a minor day-to-day issue. Jose Alvarado will see more work if Hawkins needs to miss another game.
Talen Horton-Tucker (leg) is uncertain to play in Friday's game against the Toronto Raptors. (Source: NBA Injury Report)
Fantasy Impact: Horton-Tucker suffered a shin injury during Wednesday's loss to the Celtics, and it may leave him sidelined on Friday, as he is officially considered questionable to play. His absence wouldn't open up many minutes within Chicago's rotation.
Khris Middleton (ankle) is likely to play in Friday's contest against the San Antonio Spurs. (Source: Milwaukee Bucks on Twitter)
Fantasy Impact: As usual, Middleton is listed on the team's injury report with a bilateral ankle issue, but it's nothing more than a minor issue and he is officially probable to play. He is a hit-or-miss fantasy option on a game-to-game basis when healthy and in the lineup for the Bucks.
AJ Green (quad) has been upgraded to questionable for Friday's game against the San Antonio Spurs. (Source: Milwaukee Bucks on Twitter)
Fantasy Impact: The Bucks have been missing Green for a good chunk of time due to a quad injury that he is dealing with, but he has been upgraded to questionable for Friday's game, meaning that he will have a real chance at making his return against the Spurs. Fantasy managers shouldn't hesitate to start him whenever he's back in the lineup and playing at full capacity for Milwaukee.
Bobby Portis Jr. (personal) will be out again for Friday's game against the San Antonio Spurs. (Source: Milwaukee Bucks on Twitter)
Fantasy Impact: Portis has already missed several games due to this personal issue, and he is going to be sidelined again on Friday as he continues to tend to it. We don't have any set timetable for his recovery as of now, so fantasy managers should continue to pay close attention to updates coming out of Milwaukee regarding his status.
Giannis Antetokounmpo (knee) is probable to play in Friday night's game against the San Antonio Spurs. (Source: Milwaukee Bucks on Twitter)
Fantasy Impact: Antetokounmpo should be good to go for Friday night's game, despite the fact that he's still dealing with a nagging knee issue. It should continue to be a non-factor for him, and there's no reason to believe that he won't continue to dominate in a matchup against the Spurs.
Dwight Powell (hip) is still out for Friday's game against the Detroit Pistons. (Source: NBA Injury Report)
Fantasy Impact: As expected, Powell will remain out for another game on Friday. He doesn't seem to be nearing a return from his hip injury, and fantasy managers should continue to disregard him for fantasy purposes at this point in the season.
