Detroit Pistons guard Cade Cunningham (knee) is probable for Thursday night against Indiana. The designation is nothing for fantasy managers to be alarmed by, considering he's been on the injury report since returning from a lengthy absence caused by a knee injury. Of course, anything can happen, so Cunningham could miss this one. If that's the case, Jaden Ivey will likely see an uptick in usage and interest from DFS managers. At the same time, Marcus Sasser could be worth starting in most fantasy setups if Cunningham isn't available.

Philadelphia 76ers forward Nicolas Batum (hamstring) is officially listed as questionable for Thursday's game against the Knicks at home. The 35-year-old hasn't played since January 29th, but he participated in practice before the All-Star break and again on Wednesday without any limitations. Head coach Nick Nurse suggested the veteran is probable to make his return, barring any setbacks during pregame warmups. Batum holds averages of 5.7 points, 3.9 rebounds, and 2.3 assists in 25.5 minutes per game this season.

Philadelphia 76ers forward Tobias Harris (hip) is not listed on the injury report, indicating he should be available for Thursday's home game against the Knicks. The 31-year-old returned to practice on Wednesday after missing the team's final two games before the All-Star break. Notably, over his last five games, Harris has maintained a 50 percent shooting accuracy from the floor. Additionally, his usage rate increases by almost four percent when Joel Embiid is off the floor. In games without Embiid, Harris has been averaging 19.7 points, 6.1 rebounds, and 4.0 assists in 34.4 minutes per game.

Indiana Pacers forward Jalen Smith (back) is questionable for Thursday's game against the visiting Pistons. The 23-year-old missed the Pacers' three games entering the All-Star break because of back spasms, so hopefully, the extra time off allowed him time to get things right. Smith has averaged 10.8 points and 5.6 rebounds this season, so he's worthy of starting consideration in some fantasy setups. However, if he doesn't return versus Detroit, Isaiah Jackson should benefit. That said, Jackson will have a tough time doing anything meaningful for fantasy managers with Myles Turner (illness) off the injury report for Thursday.

Indiana Pacers forward Aaron Nesmith (ankle) will not be available for Thursday's game against the Detroit Pistons. The 24-year-old sustained the injury in the team's last game before the All-Star break against the Raptors. Fortunately, the injury is not as severe as initially feared, but Nesmith is still expected to miss some time, although it shouldn't sideline him for an extended period. T.J. McConnell and Bennedict Mathurin will likely see increased minutes until his return. Nesmith has been averaging 12.6 points, 3.9 rebounds, and 1.4 assists in 27.1 minutes per game this year.
