    Injury Report

    To stay up-to-date on all of the injury news with up-to-the-minute updates, make sure to check out our LIVE Injury Report!

    Note that teams have until 1 p.m. local time on the day of a game to submit their report for the second leg of a back-to-back, so look out for updates throughout the day as appropriate.

    Teams that have a Thursday-Friday B2B:
    Warriors, Lakers, Raptors, Blazers

    Sacramento Kings @ Charlotte Hornets

    Game Time: 7:00 pm ET

    DraftKings Lines

    SAC -10 (-500), CHA +10 (+380)
    Game Total: 215.5

    Key Storylines

    Sabonis Questionable: Domantas Sabonis has popped up on the injury report as questionable and is at risk of missing the game vs. the Hornets. Should Sabonis be unable to play, it would catapult Jonas Valanciunas into must-stream territory in standard formats.

     

    Stream of the Game

    Keon Ellis can provide assists and steals for fantasy managers in standard formats.

    Alternatives: Seth Curry, Josh Okogie, DaQuan Jefrries (deeper formats).

    Game Time:  7:00 pm ET

    DraftKings Lines

    UTA +16 (+800), IND -16 (-1350)
    Game Total: 239

    Key Storylines

    Fire Up Filipowski: With Walker Kessler already ruled out of the contest, Kyle Filipowski could be looking at an extensive opportunity on Friday. The same goes for Johnny Juzang, with both Lauri Markkanen, Cody Williams and K.J Martin out as well. Both Filipowski and Juzang are strong streaming options in standard formats for Friday’s slate.

    Packed Injury Report: Pascal Siakam, Bennedict Mathurin and Aaron Nesmith are all listed as questionable. Myles Turner is off the injury report. Players such as Obi Toppin, Ben Sheppard and Jarace Walker could be getting extensive run depending on who is available for the Pacers.

    Stream of the Game

    The previously mentioned Johnny Juzang is a strong option for Friday’s slate.
