Washington Wizards guard/forwardKyshawn George(ankle) won't play against the Indiana Pacers on Thursday. George will be out of action for the second consecutive contest due to a sprained left ankle. The 21-year-old rookie has played in 64 games this season, averaging 8.6 points, 4.3 rebounds, 2.5 assists and 1.0 assists across 26.8 minutes per contest. While George is sidelined, Justin Champagniewill likely take on extra minutes after finishing with 18 points, 10 rebounds, one assist and one steal during 22 minutes of work against the Sixers on Wednesday.

Houston Rockets center Steven Adams (wrist) will not play on Thursday against the Utah Jazz. He has been ruled out for the contest after the team listed him as questionable on the initial injury report. Jock Landale will move up on the depth chart and serve as Alperen Sengun's backup on Thursday. Additionally, Jabari Smith Jr. may also soak up some minutes at center. Adams will have his first opportunity to return to action on Sunday night against the Phoenix Suns.

Houston Rockets guard/forward Amen Thompson (ankle) will play in Thursday's contest against the Utah Jazz. He was in danger of missing a second consecutive contest due to a left ankle sprain, but the team has upgraded his status from questionable to available. Thompson has made big strides in his development this season and is averaging nearly a double-double since the All-Star break with 15.7 points and 9.5 rebounds. With Thompson back, Tari Eason will likely have to settle for a bench role on Thursday, but he will still play a significant role in the rotation.

Oklahoma City Thunder guard Cason Wallace (knee) will rejoin the lineup for Thursday's meeting with the Memphis Grizzlies. He has been cleared for action after missing one game due to a knee contusion. After rolling with the starters in each of his last five appearances, Wallace will come off the bench in Thursday's contest, which will negatively impact his fantasy value. As a reserve, Wallace has averaged 7.1 points, 2.3 rebounds, and 1.6 assists this season.

Oklahoma City Thunder guard/forward Jalen Williams (hip) will re-enter the lineup on Thursday against the Memphis Grizzlies. The Thunder have been without Williams for a couple of weeks due to a hip problem, but he is finally back in game shape after missing seven contests. Isaiah Joe, Alex Caruso, and Kenrich Williams lose fantasy value with Williams' return. The team may want to ease Williams back into action on Thursday, but he should still be capable of filling the box score due to his all-around ability.
