Kyle Anderson

MEM Forward-Guard #5

Personalize your Rotoworld feed by favoriting players
Kyle Anderson (knee, personal) is out for Wednesday’s game against the Warriors.

Already dealing with a sore right knee, Anderson is also away from the Grizzlies for Wednesday’s game for personal reasons. With Jahmai Mashack (G League) also inactive, Memphis will continue to rely on Taylor Hendricks, GG Jackson and Olivier-Maxence Prosper in the frontcourt.

Pick up Kuminga if Johnson's hip injury lingers

February 25, 2026 02:22 PM

Eric Samulski recaps Jonathan Kuminga's debut for the Atlanta Hawks and breaks down what Jalen Johnson's hip injury that took him out of the game could mean for Kuminga's fantasy value going forward.

P.J. Washington

DAL Forward #25

P.J. Washington (ankle) is out for Thursday’s game against the Kings.

Washington sprained his left ankle late in Tuesday’s win over the Nets. Caleb Martin could be moved into the starting lineup, and that’s before considering Khris Middleton (shoulder) being questionable for Thursday night. If Middleton joins Washington on the sidelines, Tyus Jones, Brandon Williams, and Klay Thompson could be in the mix to start.

Dorian Finney-Smith

HOU Forward #2
Dorian Finney-Smith (ankle) will sit out Wednesday’s game against the Kings but be available for Thursday’s game against the Magic.

Finney-Smith’s availability does not affect fantasy basketball, but it does free up minutes for some of Houston’s other reserves. Josh Okogie and Aaron Holiday should play more against the Kings, but neither is worth the risk in most fantasy leagues.

Reed Sheppard

HOU Guard #15
Reed Sheppard will replace the injured Amen Thompson (quad) in the starting lineup for Wednesday’s game against the Kings.

Thompson is dealing with left quad tendonitis and will not play against the struggling Kings. Sheppard moves into the starting lineup, and the second-year guard is a worthwhile streamer in this spot. Kevin Durant, Tari Eason, Jabari Smith Jr. and Alperen Şengün will complete the Rockets’ starting five.

Khris Middleton

DAL Forward #20
Khris Middleton (shoulder) is questionable for Thursday’s game against the Kings.

Middleton suffered a right shoulder stinger during Tuesday’s win over the Nets and did not return for the second half. Caleb Martin started the second half in his place and may take on that role if Middleton doesn’t play against the Kings. When allowed to start, Martin has offered minimal fantasy value, at best, on most nights.

Daniel Gafford

DAL Forward-Center #21
Daniel Gafford (ankle) is doubtful for Thursday’s game against the Kings.

Gafford, whose right ankle has been an issue since training camp, appears unlikely to play on Thursday. If he sits, that would open up a place in the starting lineup for Marvin Bagley III, and he would be a solid streaming option for managers needing a post player.

Deni Avdija

POR Forward #8
Deni Avdija (back) is out for Thursday’s game against the Bulls.

After aggravating his lower back injury during Sunday’s win over the Suns, Avdija did not play in Tuesday’s loss to the Timberwolves. He’ll miss a second consecutive game on Thursday, which likely means another start for Kris Murray. In 29 minutes, Murray shot 7-of-10 from the field and finished with 16 points, five rebounds, one assist, two blocks and two three-pointers. He would only be worth a look in extremely deep leagues.

Yang Hansen

POR Center #16

Yang Hansen (back) is questionable for Thursday’s game against the Bulls.

Hansen was not with the Trail Blazers for Tuesday’s loss to the Timberwolves, as he was assigned to the team’s G League affiliate. He’s dealing with mid-back soreness, so it is not guaranteed that the rookie will play on Thursday. If he can go, whether or not Hansen gets minutes depends on the availability of Robert Williams (foot), who is also questionable.

Robert Williams

POR Center-Forward #35
Robert Williams (foot) is questionable for Thursday’s game against the Bulls.

Williams did not play in Tuesday’s loss to the Timberwolves. With Yang Hansen in the G League at the time, Portland went small when they did not have starting center Donovan Clingan on the floor. Expect a similar approach on Thursday if Williams and Hansen remain out.

Alex Caruso

OKC Guard #9
Alex Caruso (ankle) is out for Thursday’s game against the Pistons.

Caruso will sit out Wednesday’s game, which is the second in as many nights for the Thunder. His absence should result in more minutes for Aaron Wiggins and Jared McCain, with both having the potential to be valuable streamers in deeper leagues.
