Dallas Mavericks forward P.J. Washington (ankle) will not play on Thursday against the Orlando Magic. He has been ruled out for a second consecutive game due to a left ankle sprain. Naji Marshall figures to take on a larger role again with Washington unavailable. He had a career night with 38 points in Tuesday's matchup against the New York Knicks. The 27-year-old has been an efficient scorer throughout the month, notching 22.2 points on 53.7 percent shooting with 7.5 rebounds, 3.6 assists, and 1.5 steals.

Memphis Grizzlies forward Lamar Stevens (shoulder) carries a questionable tag on the injury report ahead of Thursday's matchup against the Oklahoma City Thunder. He has injured his right shoulder, which has already forced him to miss the last three games. Stevens' absence impacts things very little, as he has averaged just 10.8 minutes over nine appearances this campaign. The former Cavalier began the season without a contract before signing a 10-day deal with the Grizzlies in February. After completing two 10-day stints, Stevens signed a standard contract for the remainder of the season. However, he is unlikely to see significant action as long as the frontcourt remains healthy.

Sacramento Kings forward Jake LaRavia (thumb) could be out on Thursday against the Portland Trail Blazers, as the team lists him as questionable on the injury report. He has landed on the report with a sore left thumb, which isn't a serious injury. However, LaRavia might still have to take Thursday night off to recover better. Since arriving from Memphis, LaRavia has steadily improved his performances. He has averaged 9.2 points, 2.8 rebounds, and 1.4 steals in 22.3 minutes over his last five appearances. If LaRavia is unavailable on Thursday, Doug McDermott and Trey Lyles may see more playing time, although they should not be considered strong fantasy options.

Sacramento Kings point guard Devin Carter (illness) is questionable for Thursday night's action against the Portland Trail Blazers. He has been battling an illness for some time. It kept Carter out of the lineup on Monday against the Boston Celtics, but he returned to action on Tuesday night against the Oklahoma City Thunder. However, Carter only logged three minutes in the game. Markelle Fultz has played more in recent games, but this has not increased his fantasy value. If Carter gets cleared to play, he could assume a significant role on Thursday, as Malik Monk (illness) may sit out the contest.

Portland Trail Blazers forward Jerami Grant (knee) is listed as doubtful on the injury report, making it unlikely that he will return to action on Thursday against the Sacramento Kings. He has already missed eight games due to right knee tendinitis. Shaedon Sharpe has nailed down a spot in the starting unit during Grant's absence and will likely receive additional usage again on Thursday night. Kris Murray and Matisse Thybulle can also fill Grant's minutes, but they are far less attractive fantasy options compared to Sharpe, who has posted 18.6 points, 4.6 rebounds, and 2.9 assists in a starting role this season.
