New York Knicks forward OG Anunoby (thumb) has been ruled out for Thursday's contest against the Detroit Pistons. He will miss his first game since Feb. 20 due to a thumb sprain. Josh Hart (knee) and Mitchell Robinson (ankle) have also been ruled out for Thursday's action, which should significantly increase Precious Achiuwa's playing time. Miles McBride and Landry Shamet are also expected to receive more opportunities in a favorable fantasy matchup against a team that ranks eighth in pace while holding a mediocre defensive rating.

Cleveland Cavaliers forward/center Evan Mobley (rest) will not suit up for Thursday's game against the Indiana Pacers. The team has nothing left to play for in the regular season and will give Mobley some time off to rest. He will be joined on the sidelines by Darius Garland (toe), Donovan Mitchell (ankle), and Max Strus (knee), meaning the Cavaliers will head into action without four of their regular starters. Players such as Ty Jerome, Sam Merrill, De'Andre Hunter, and Dean Wade are set to play more prominent roles in the rotation.

Brooklyn Nets point guard D'Angelo Russell (ankle) will not be in action on Thursday against the Atlanta Hawks. Russell is set to miss the game due to right ankle soreness. Thursday will mark the third-straight game that Russell will miss. His next chance to suit up will be on Friday against the Minnesota Timberwolves. Reece Beekman will remain in the starting unit on Thursday due to Russell's absence. This season, Russell has played 28 games with the Nets, averaging 12.7 points, 2.8 rebounds, and 5.4 assists per game.

Brooklyn Nets center Day'Ron Sharpe (knee) remains out for Thursday's matchup with the Atlanta Hawks. The big man has been unavailable for the past seven games due to a right knee sprain. With just three games remaining, Sharpe may join Cam Thomas, De'Anthony Melton, and Noah Clowney as players ruled out for the rest of the season due to injuries. This season, Sharpe has averaged 7.9 points, 6.6 rebounds, and 1.8 assists per game.

Brooklyn Nets small forward Cameron Johnson (back) will not suit up for Thursday's contest against the Atlanta Hawks. Due to a nagging back injury, Johnson is not ready to return for Thursday night. This will be Johnson's fifth consecutive game that he's going to miss. His next chance to play will be against the Minnesota Timberwolves on Friday, but the Nets have just three games left in their season, and Johnson just might get sidelined for the rest of the season due to his back injury. With Johnson out, Trendon Watford will remain in the starting lineup.
