Indiana Pacers guard/forward Bennedict Mathurin (wrist) is considered questionable for Thursday's tilt against the Atlanta Hawks. He's in danger of missing a fourth consecutive game due to a sprained left wrist. Mathurin's absence has mainly elevated the fantasy value of Aaron Nesmith, who has averaged 16.7 points and 5.3 rebounds in 32.8 minutes over the past three games. This stretch includes a career night with 27 points against the Chicago Bulls. Andrew Nembhard's minutes have also increased with Mathurin out of the lineup.

Justin Turpin of WEEI.comreports that Boston Celtics guardJrue Holiday (finger) is unavailable for Thursday's game against the Philadelphia 76ers. Holiday will miss his fourth consecutive contest due to a right-finger injury. The Celtics have multiple key players on the injury list and with Holiday's absence,Payton Pritchard and Derrick White will see increased roles this evening. Both players are worth a look for fantasy managers, with the Celtics significantly shorthanded right now.

According to Justin Turpin of WEEI.com,Boston Celtics centerKristaps Porzingis (illness) is unavailable for Thursday's contest against the Philadelphia 76ers. The big man is dealing with a lingering illness and will miss his fourth straight game.Al Horford (toe) is also out, meaning Luke Kornet and Neemias Queta will take on most of the Celtics center minutes this evening. Porzingis's next chance to return to the lineup is Saturday against the Lakers.

Boston Celtics forward/center Al Horford is out for Thursday's game versus the 76ers due to a left big toe sprain,Justin Turpin of WEEI.comreports. Horford is out for the second half of back-to-back games due to the injury. On Monday against the Blazers, the 38-year-old center finished with 12 points, nine rebounds, four assists, and two blocks across 21 minutes of work. He's been sitting out one leg of back-to-backs to rest his injured toe. With Kristaps Porzingis (illness) also sidelined for the evening, Luke KornetandNeemias Queta will be relied upon to take on extra minutes for the Celtics at center.

John Karalis of BostonSportsJournal.comreports that Boston Celtics forwardJayson Tatum (shoulder) is available to suit up against the Philadelphia 76ers on Thursday. The superstar forward was dealing with a right shoulder impingement that kept him out of action on Wednesday against Portland. Whenever Tatum is on the floor, he significantly impacts fantasy. He is a must-start for fantasy managers across the board, especially going into Thursday's showdown with the injury-stricken 76ers.
