Utah Jazz center Jusuf Nurkic (illness) will play on Saturday against Miami. He popped up on the injury report because of an illness, carrying a questionable tag. Nurkic has amassed two-straight triple-doubles, most recently finishing with 17 points, 14 assists, and 11 boards in Thursday's loss to the San Antonio Spurs. While it's hard to imagine he'll maintain that same level of production, he has an excellent chance to continue exceeding his usual fantasy expectations in a projected high-scoring contest. With Nurkic on the floor, it should mean less work for Kyle Filipowski.

Brooklyn Nets guard Nolan Traore (illness) won't play on Sunday against the Clippers. The rookie had a career-high 21 points in Friday's double-overtime loss to the Boston Celtics. With Cam Thomas (ankle) ruled out, Traore would have been in line for more action, especially since he had double-digit scoring performances in three of his last four appearances. While that may still be the case once he's healthy to return, Ziaire Williams and Tyrese Martin are now the favorites to receive additional scoring opportunities versus Los Angeles.

Denver Nuggets forward Aaron Gordon (hamstring) won't play on Sunday against Memphis. The 30-year-old played on Friday versus the Bucks, the second of a back-to-back. Unfortunately, he exited that contest because of a right hamstring strain, an injury that kept him off the floor for six weeks earlier in the season. There hasn't been much information released since Gordon suffered the injury. However, fantasy managers should expect to see his absence extend beyond Sunday's game. The Nuggets are banged up, with Nikola Jokic (knee), Cameron Johnson (knee), and Christian Braun (ankle) also on the shelf. As a result, guys like Tim Hardaway Jr., Zeke Nnaji, and Jalen Pickett could all see more scoring opportunities behind Peyton Watson (ankle) and Jamal Murray (hamstring) for at least the next week or two.

Brooklyn Nets guard Cam Thomas (ankle) won't play on Sunday against the Clippers. The 24-year-old has already missed plenty of time this season. He's also struggled statistically, averaging 16.2 points, his lowest since his sophomore campaign. Thomas tweaked his ankle during Friday's double-overtime loss to the Boston Celtics, so it's unknown how long he'll be out of commission. However, with the trade deadline on the horizon, fantasy managers are left wondering if he's already played his final game as a Net. At any rate, while Thomas is sidelined, Ziaire Williams and Tyrese Martin may see more action. That could also apply to Nolan Traore (illness), who had a career-high 21 points on Friday, once he shakes off an illness.
