Los Angeles Lakers forward Christian Wood (head) is listed as questionable for Thursday's game against the Phoenix Suns. Wood is a late addition to the injury report due to a migraine. This is not good news with the Lakers already shorthanded due to Rui Hachimura (calf) sitting out. If both players sit, Jarred Vanderbilt would likely see a significant role in the rotation. That means, Vanderbilt might actually have decent streaming appeal if Wood is out as well on Thursday.

Los Angeles Lakers forward Cam Reddish (face) is expected to be available for Thursday's game against the Phoenix Suns. It sounds like Reddish should return to the starting five for this game. That's assuming Reddish is able to get through his pregame routine without any issues. Max Christie would likely take a hit in value with Reddish expected to suit up on Thursday.


Los Angeles Lakers forward Rui Hachimura (calf) has been ruled out for Thursday's game against the Phoenix Suns. This marks the fifth game in a row that Hachimura has missed due to a left calf strain. His absence will mean that Jarred Vanderbilt and Christian Wood will absorb extra playing time. It sounds like Hachimura has been making good progress and is hopeful to play on Saturday. Fantasy managers will have to check back for another update.


Phoenix Suns forward Drew Eubanks (illness) has been ruled out ahead of Thursday's game against the Los Angeles Lakers. Eubanks was questionable coming into this game, but will ultimately sit out due to an illness. The playing time will be split up between Jusuf Nurkic, Chimezie Metu and Udoka Azubuike. Between the three, Nurkic is the only one here that is actually a viable fantasy option right now.


Dallas Mavericks guard Tim Hardaway Jr. will move into the starting five ahead of Thursday's game against the New York Knicks. The Mavs will give Hardaway the starting nod with Luka Doncic (ankle) on the sideline for this game. This means that Jaden Hardy will come off the bench, so his fantasy value won't be as appealing on Thursday. Hardaway could be worth a look as a streaming option with an extended role in this game.
