Milwaukee Bucks forward Giannis Antetokounmpo (knee) has been upgraded to available for Thursday's meeting with the Charlotte Hornets. Antetokounmpo will play through patellar tendinitis in his right knee against the 15-43 Hornets, and he hasn't missed a game since Jan. 17. If this game gets out of hand, however, it should be noted that the Bucks could look to monitor the two-time MVP's minutes with the Chicago Bulls on tap for the second leg of a back-to-back on Friday. Over his last 10 games, Antetokounmpo is averaging 28.0 points on 64.4% shooting from the field, 10.0 boards, and 6.9 assists in 33.1 minutes and is obviously a set-and-forget fantasy play in season-long leagues. Thursday's spot against a Charlotte team allowing more DraftKings points to opposing power forwards than any other gives the Greek Freak serious upside to go off for a vintage performance if this contest stays competitive.

Toronto Raptors power forward Chris Boucher (illness) is regarded as questionable for Friday's clash with the Warriors. He's been feeling under the weather and could be absent for a second consecutive contest due to a non-COVID illness. However, it's already been three games since the last time Boucher saw any action, so he's not really part of what the Raptors are trying to do right now.

Los Angeles Lakers guard/forward Cam Reddish (ankle) has been listed as probable for Thursday's game against Washington. He's only just returned from a 14-game absence, but it looks like Reddish has recovered well enough to be available for the second leg of a back-to-back. He put in a 20-minute shift in his comeback game against the Clippers on Wednesday, scoring five points and grabbing three rebounds. Reddish might have a bigger role to play on Thursday if LeBron James (ankle) is absent.

Los Angeles Lakers forward/center Anthony Davis (Achilles) is expected to suit up for Thursday's game against Washington, with the team listing him as probable for the favorable matchup. Davis shook off an illness to log 36 minutes of action on Wednesday in a battle with the Clippers, and it looks like he's good to go again versus the Wizards, despite remaining on the injury report with his old Achilles issue. The nine-time All-Star has played in 10 consecutive games, including both games of two recent back-to-backs. Bigs have feasted against the Wizards all season, and it could be a massive outing for Davis, especially if LeBron James (ankle) takes the night off.

Los Angeles Lakers forward LeBron James (ankle) has been listed as questionable for Thursday's clash with the Wizards. James put in a vintage performance on Wednesday against the Clippers but could sit out the second leg of a back-to-back to rest his ailing left ankle. The veteran superstar has skipped one game in each of the last two back-to-back situations. Taurean Prince would have a chance to move back into the starting five if James is out on Thursday. He's totaled 9.6 points, 3.0 rebounds, and 1.7 assists in a starting role this season.
