Indiana Pacers guard/forward Bennedict Mathurin (ankle) is considered questionable for Thursday's clash with the Kings. He sprained his left ankle against Utah on Monday and could be forced to miss his first game of the campaign. However, Mathurin was present in Wednesday's practice, so it looks like there's a good chance he won't have to sit out Thursday's game. Mathurin might find himself in a big role Thursday as well, following Indiana's big trade to acquire Pascal Siakam. Bruce Brown, who's headed to Toronto as part of the deal, has been a big piece in the rotation, and his minutes will need to be covered. Siakam is expected to join the team on Friday.

Chicago Bulls forward Patrick Williams (ankle) is in danger of missing a third consecutive game on Thursday versus the Raptors. He's nursing a right ankle strain and is listed as questionable for the game. Williams didn't participate in Wednesday's practice, which is a bad sign regarding his availability for the Toronto game. With the Bulls healthy again, Williams has dropped to the bench, and there haven't been any standout performers in the second unit during his absence.

Chicago Bulls guard Ayo Dosunmu (shoulder) is listed as questionable for Thursday's game against Toronto. He's dealing with a left shoulder issue, which limited Dosunmu to only a 19-minute outing on Monday versus Cleveland. However, according to Bulls head coach Billy Donovan, Dosunmu is "totally fine" after undergoing imaging on his shoulder. The young guard also came through Wednesday's practice without any issues, so it looks like Dosunmu will likely play.

Portland Trail Blazers guard/forward Matisse Thybulle sprained his left ankle against Brooklyn on Wednesday and had to exit the game in the fourth quarter. The defensive specialist ended the night with three points and three assists in 21 minutes off the bench. Portland has struggled with injuries all season long, and Thybulle is the latest player to go down. Toumani Camara should benefit the most from Thybulle's potential absence Friday versus Indiana.

Indiana Pacers guard Tyrese Haliburton (hamstring) is listed as questionable ahead of Thursday's game against the Sacramento Kings. This is surprising news given that Haliburton had a timetable of at least two weeks and that was 10 days ago. It sounds like Haliburton is making great progress and is on the verge of being cleared to play. It's worth noting that Thursday's game is the front end of a back-to-back set, which means Haliburton will probably at least miss one game. He'll likely be under a minutes limit, assuming he's cleared to play, but fantasy managers will have to check back for another update on Thursday.
