Los Angeles Lakers forward Cam Reddish (ankle) has been ruled out ahead of Thursday's game against the Chicago Bulls. Reddish is back on the sideline after suffering a right ankle sprain during Tuesday's game. The Lakers could be thin at the forward spot with LeBron James (ankle) listed as questionable for this game. The absence of Reddish would likely mean an increased role for Max Christie. The streaming appeal of Christie is somewhat dependent on the status of James. Fantasy managers should get more information on this situation later on Thursday.

Los Angeles Lakers forward LeBron James (ankle) is listed as questionable ahead of Thursday's game against the Chicago Bulls. James was held out of Tuesday's contest and remains on the injury report heading into Thursday. The fact James is on the injury report really shouldn't shock anyone. James has been a regular on the injury report all season long. His absence on Tuesday resulted in Taurean Prince drawing the start. He put together a decent night, but isn't a must-have streaming option. Fantasy managers will have to check back on Thursday for another update on his status.

San Antonio Spurs guard Tre Jones (ankle) has been ruled out ahead of Wednesday's game against the Oklahoma City Thunder. Jones is set to miss this game after suffering a left ankle sprain during Monday's game. Blake Wesley will shift into the starting five with Jones unavailable for this contest. The absence of Jones should also mean more playing time for Malaki Branham and Devonte' Graham on Wednesday. None of these players are great streaming options, but they could have some low-end value.

Dallas Mavericks forward Grant Williams will move into the starting five ahead of Wednesday's game against the Phoenix Suns. The Mavs are without star guard Kyrie Irving (thumb) for this game. As a result, Williams will get the start to try and fill the void left by Irving. He's a decent 3-and-D player, but probably won't do enough to warrant streaming in most fantasy formats. Tim Hardaway Jr. is the better fantasy option even with him coming off the bench.

Dallas Mavericks guard Kyrie Irving (thumb) has been ruled out ahead of Wednesday's game against the Phoenix Suns. The 31-year-old suffered a left thumb sprain during Monday's contest. As a result, Irving will sit out on Wednesday after being listed as questionable heading into the game. In his absence, Tim Hardaway Jr. figures to move into the starting five. He has been playing extremely well lately and is a strong streaming option for Wednesday's slate.
