Miami Heat center Orlando Robinson (back) will be available Thursday versus Denver. He has been absent for the last three games with a back issue. Robinson will be an extra body to through at Nikola Jokic, but he isn't expected to see a lot of minutes. For the season, he's averaged 10.0 minutes in 24 games. On Thursday night, Robinson might see a bit more action due to the absences of Kevin Love (heel) and Thomas Bryant (suspension), but it's still unlikely that he will play a significant role.

Phoenix Suns forward Nassir Little (knee) isn't available for Thursday's matchup against Houston. The 24-year-old is dealing with inflammation in his left knee. Little played less than a minute in the last game against the Lakers, so his absence won't impact the Suns in any way. Following a decent campaign in 2021-22, Little's play has deteriorated, and he hasn't done anything to boost his stock this season. The former first-round pick has averaged 3.9 points and 2.1 rebounds in 12.5 minutes through 34 appearances.

Denver Nuggets guard Jamal Murray (shin) is not on the injury report for Thursday's 2023 NBA Finals rematch versus the Miami Heat. After wrecking the Sacramento Kings for 32 points on 15 shots in 33 minutes during Wednesday's win, Murray's status is worth noting after head coach Michael Malone was unsure of his availability for the second half of Denver's back-to-back. The 27-year-old star guard is on a roll post-All-Star break, averaging 25.7 points, 5.7 dimes, 2.7 three-pointers on 57.1% shooting from beyond the arc, and 1.3 steals over his past three performances. The Heat are holding opposing point guards to the third-fewest fantasy points per game on DraftKings this season, and this contest puts two of the five slowest-paced offenses in the Association against each other. Even so, Murray is close to a matchup-proof option in season-long settings while he's on fire shooting the ball.

Philadelphia 76ers head coach Nick Nurse says guard De'Anthony Melton (back) is out for now, and he isn't sure for how long. Melton left Tuesday's loss to the Boston Celtics with back spasms, perhaps re-aggravating the lumbar spine stress response that plagued him for nearly two months between early January and late February. Fantasy managers should view the 25-year-old lockdown defender as out indefinitely, and while he's posting top-75 numbers in nine-category leagues with 11.5 points, 3.1 assists, 2.1 three-pointers, and 1.6 steals per game in 2023-24, Melton is a drop candidate for those who can't afford to stash him. The Sixers will continue to heavily rely on All-Star Tyrese Maxey in their backcourt, with the recently-acquired Kyle Lowry being worth watching as an option to occupy Melton's role for the time being in Philly.

Washington Wizards forward Deni Avdija (heel) has been upgraded from questionable to available for Thursday's contest against the Los Angeles Lakers. Off the floor for Washington's last three matchups with a left heel contusion, Avdija is back and will suit up on Thursday. The 23-year-old playmaking forward has been up and down in his fourth season for the Wizards, hovering around the top 100 in points leagues for fantasy purposes with 13.6 points, 6.5 rebounds, 3.7 assists, and 1.1 treys per game over 55 contests. It's unclear if Avdija is facing any form of minutes restrictions in his return, and while this matchup carries some blowout risk, the Lakers are yielding the fifth-most fantasy points to opposing small forwards on DraftKings in 2023-24. Make sure to get him active in season-long leagues.
