Brandon Ingram Considered Questionable For Thursday

Toronto Raptors guard/forward Brandon Ingram (thumb) is listed as questionable for Thursday's matchup with the Minnesota Timberwolves. Ingram appeared on the injury report with a left thumb sprain after finishing with 31 points, two rebounds, four assists, one steal, and one block in Tuesday's 111-95 loss to the Knicks. If Ingram is unable to suit up, Jamal Shead could take on a larger role in the backcourt. The rookie has been an effective backup point guard, and with expanded minutes, he could emerge as a viable streaming option for fantasy managers.

Kyshawn George Slated to Miss Thursday's Matchup With Jazz

Washington Wizards forward Kyshawn George (elbow) won't play Thursday against the Utah Jazz. George will miss his second consecutive game due to a sprained left elbow. With George sidelined, 20-year-old rookie Will Riley should continue to see ample scoring opportunities, while Tre Johnson and Bilal Coulibaly are also expected to take on larger offensive roles during Thursday night's matchup in Washington.

Brandon Williams Expected to Suit Up Against Magic on Thursday

Dallas Mavericks guard Brandon Williams (quadriceps) is considered probable for Thursday's game against Orlando. Williams landed on the injury list with a left quadriceps contusion, but it appears to be a minor issue, and he plans to play despite the injury. The 26-year-old has been fairly productive in his last six outings, averaging 16.3 points during that span. However, his role and scoring output could decline once Cooper Flagg (foot) returns to the lineup.

Cooper Flagg • PF • Mavericks

Cooper Flagg Considered Questionable For Thursday

Dallas Mavericks guard/forward Cooper Flagg (foot) is listed as questionable for Thursday's matchup with the Orlando Magic. Flagg could return after missing eight consecutive games due to a left midfoot sprain. The 19-year-old rookie has averaged 20.4 points, 6.6 rebounds, 4.1 assists, and 1.2 steals across 49 outings this season. If Flagg remains sidelined, Brandon Williams and Ryan Nembhard should continue to handle more playmaking duties. At the same time, Max Christie, Khris Middleton, and P.J. Washington would likely take on increased scoring responsibilities.

Trae Young • PG • Wizards

Trae Young Off Injury List For Thursday

Washington Wizards guard Trae Young (knee/quadriceps) has been removed from the injury list and is set to make his debut with his new team on Thursday against the Utah Jazz. The 27-year-old star guard has been out of action since Dec. 27 due to a right MCL sprain and a right quadriceps contusion. He sustained the injuries while still playing for Atlanta. Across 10 games this season, he has averaged 19.3 points, 8.9 assists, 1.5 rebounds, and 1.0 steals in 28.0 minutes per contest. The four-time NBA All-Star is in line for a 17-20-minute restriction for tomorrow evening. Still, once Young gets fully acclimated and back to full strength, he should quickly reestablish himself as a high-end fantasy contributor.

Klay Thompson • SG • Mavericks

Klay Thompson Probable For Thursday's Clash With Magic

Dallas Mavericks guard/forward Klay Thompson (adductor) is listed as probable for Thursday's matchup with the Orlando Magic. Thompson is dealing with a right adductor contusion and was held out of Tuesday's 117-90 loss to the Hornets. However, the 36-year-old is trending toward a return in Orlando. If Thompson suffers a setback and is unable to suit up, veteran sharpshooter Khris Middleton could see an uptick in minutes and emerge as a viable streaming option for Thursday's contest.

Kevin Love • PF • Jazz

Kevin Love Active Wednesday Night

Utah Jazz forward/center Kevin Love (rest) will suit up on Wednesday night against the Philadelphia 76ers. The veteran big man rested on Monday against Denver, but the Jazz haven't included Love on the injury report for Wednesday's game. Love has been in and out of the lineup all season and hasn't played much recently when available. In February, Love averaged only 14.7 minutes per game across seven outings. Kyle Filipowski is the only big man on the Jazz who is worth considering for fantasy purposes. The Duke product has averaged 15.4 points, 6.2 rebounds, 3.4 assists, and 1.8 steals since the All-Star break.

Jaden Ivey • SG • Bulls

Jaden Ivey to Miss Five-Game Road Trip

Chicago Bulls guard Jaden Ivey (knee) will not join the team for an upcoming five-game road trip, K.C. Johnson of Chicago Sports Network reports. Ivey missed his seventh consecutive game on Tuesday night against the Oklahoma City Thunder and apparently will be sidelined for at least 10 more days. The Bulls hit the road on Thursday to face the Phoenix Suns and will conclude their trip on March 13 against the Los Angeles Clippers. Anfernee Simons (wrist) is also missing from the backcourt, and Josh Giddey (ankle) may exit the lineup after getting hurt on Tuesday, improving the fantasy prospects of Tre Jones, Collin Sexton, and Rob Dillingham.

Zach Edey • C • Grizzlies

Zach Edey Has Season-Ending Ankle Surgery

Memphis Grizzlies center Zach Edey (ankle) underwent season-ending surgery on Tuesday. The team announced on Sunday that Edey will have an ankle procedure but didn't specify a recovery timeline. Now we know that Edey's season is over. The good news is that the 23-year-old big man is expected to make a full recovery ahead of the 2026-27 regular season. Unfortunately, Edey appeared in only 11 games this term, averaging 13.6 points, 11.1 rebounds, and 1.9 blocks in 25.8 minutes. With Santi Aldama (knee) also hurt, Memphis has to rely on Olivier-Maxence Prosper, GG Jackson II, and Taylor Hendricks in the frontcourt.

Matas Buzelis • SF • Bulls

Matas Buzelis Exits Early Tuesday

Chicago Bulls forward Matas Buzelis missed the fourth quarter of Tuesday's loss to the Oklahoma City Thunder due to an ankle sprain, K.C. Johnson of The Chicago Sports Network reports. Buzelis was attempting to produce his fourth consecutive 20-point game, but an ankle injury in the third quarter ruined a productive outing for him. The 21-year-old sophomore finished the contest with 11 points, five rebounds, and three assists in 20 minutes. Buzelis could now miss his first game of the season when Chicago returns to action on Thursday against the Phoenix Suns. Leonard Miller, who tallied eight points and three rebounds in 21 minutes on Tuesday, may replace Buzelis in the first unit.

Josh Giddey • SG • Bulls

Josh Giddey Hurts Ankle Tuesday

Chicago Bulls guard Josh Giddey rolled his right ankle in Tuesday's loss to the Oklahoma City Thunder, Joel Lorenzi of The Athletic reports. Giddey left the game late in the third quarter but came back to play until the end. After the game, Giddey said his ankle "doesn't feel too bad." According to Bulls head coach Billy Donovan, the team will evaluate Giddey further on Wednesday. Chicago has two more games scheduled this week, starting with a road contest against the Phoenix Suns on Thursday. Giddey's absence could open the door to the first unit for Collin Sexton, who led the team with 20 points on Tuesday night. Tre Jones and Rob Dillingham will likely also pick up some of the available minutes.

Jarrett Allen • C • Cavaliers

Jarrett Allen Exits Early With Knee Injury

Cleveland Cavaliers center Jarrett Allen injured his right knee on Tuesday night against the Detroit Pistons, Joe Vardon of The Athletic reports. The big man exited the contest in the third quarter, finishing the night with eight points, three rebounds, and one steal in 21 minutes. Despite missing their starting center for most of the second half, the Cavaliers managed to take down the Eastern Conference leaders 113-109. Thomas Bryant saw additional action in Allen's absence, notching nine points, five rebounds, one steal, and one block. Cleveland might promote Bryant to the starting lineup if Allen misses more time, which would boost his fantasy value.

Zion Williamson • PF • Pelicans

Zion Williamson Ready to Take on Lakers

New Orleans Pelicans forward Zion Williamson (ankle) will be in action against the Los Angeles Lakers on Tuesday night. It was initially unclear whether Williamson would play after the team listed him as questionable on the injury report. The former No. 1 pick sprained his right ankle in Saturday's win over Utah and missed Sunday's matchup with the Clippers. Before he was hurt, Williamson enjoyed an outstanding five-game stretch in which he averaged 24.8 points, 4.4 rebounds, 3.4 assists, and 1.8 blocks.

VJ Edgecombe • SG • 76ers

VJ Edgecombe Sustains Back Injury Tuesday

Philadelphia 76ers guard VJ Edgecombe (back) will miss the second half of Tuesday's game against the San Antonio Spurs, John Clark of NBC Sports Philadelphia reports. The exciting rookie sustained a back injury following a hard fall late in the first half. Edgecombe will finish the night with six points, four rebounds, one assist, one steal, and two blocks in 20 minutes. Cameron Payne and Justin Edwards could see more action in the second half without Edgecombe. Fantasy managers should consider Edgecombe questionable for Wednesday's clash against Utah.

Ivica Zubac • C • Pacers

Ivica Zubac Remains Absent Wednesday

Indiana Pacers center Ivica Zubac (ankle) will remain sidelined on Wednesday against the Los Angeles Clippers. Due to a left ankle sprain, he has yet to play for the Pacers since arriving from the Clippers a month ago, and Zubac remains without a timeline for his return. Jay Huff and Micah Potter will continue to handle the minutes at center until Zubac is ready to make his Pacers debut. Potter has clearly outperformed Huff in recent games despite coming off the bench, averaging 15.7 points and 5.5 rebounds since the All-Star break.

Mar 3

Neemias Queta • C • Celtics

Neemias Queta Returning to Action Wednesday

Boston Celtics center Neemias Queta (rest) will return to the lineup on Wednesday against the Charlotte Hornets. The team has removed the Portuguese big man from the injury report after he was rested on Monday against Milwaukee. Queta was well worth the rest, having dominated against Philadelphia on Sunday with 27 points, 17 rebounds, and three blocks. Nikola Vucevic filled in for Queta in the starting lineup against Milwaukee, notching 10 points, five rebounds, seven assists, and one block. While Vucevic is set to return to the second unit on Wednesday, he will continue to hold fantasy value.

Mar 3

Robert Williams III • C • Trail Blazers

Robert Williams III Available Wednesday Night

Portland Trail Blazers center Robert Williams III (knee) will be active on Wednesday night against the Memphis Grizzlies. Williams III missed the second leg of a back-to-back on Sunday against Atlanta, but the team has not included him on the injury report ahead of Wednesday's contest. Serving as Donovan Clingan's backup, Williams III has contributed 6.4 points, 6.5 rebounds, and 1.5 blocks per game this season. On Wednesday, he has a very attractive matchup against a team that doesn't have a traditional big man on the roster.

Mar 3

Kris Murray • PF • Trail Blazers

Kris Murray Iffy for Wednesday

Portland Trail Blazers forward Kris Murray (illness) is questionable to play on Wednesday against the Memphis Grizzlies. On Sunday against the Atlanta Hawks, Murray made his fourth consecutive start, but he logged only four minutes in the contest due to illness. Vit Krejci started the second half in Murray's place, producing a solid line against this former team, with 14 points, four rebounds, and one assist. Krejci may keep his spot in the first unit on Wednesday if Murray and Deni Avdija (back) remain absent.

Mar 3

John Collins • PF • Clippers

John Collins to Miss Second Consecutive Game

Los Angeles Clippers forward/center John Collins (neck) has been ruled out for Wednesday's game against the Indiana Pacers. The athletic big man is dealing with a neck strain and will be out for a second consecutive game. Kobe Sanders grabbed Collins' spot in the starting unit on Monday night against Golden State and is likely to keep it. Yet Sanders couldn't get much going in 22 minutes against the Warriors, finishing with eight points, two rebounds, one assist, and one block. He may be more successful in Wednesday's matchup against a leaky defense.

Mar 3

Obi Toppin • PF • Pacers

Obi Toppin Probable for Wednesday's Action

Indiana Pacers forward Obi Toppin (foot) is listed as probable for Wednesday's matchup with the Los Angeles Clippers. He appears on track to make his third consecutive appearance. However, Toppin has seen only limited minutes since returning from a fractured foot. He has logged 19 total minutes in his first two games back from injury. Toppin's minutes will likely remain around the same on Wednesday night, meaning he doesn't have anything to offer fantasy managers at present.
