It's a light slate in the NBA Thursday with just four games on tap, headlined by NBA TV's doubleheader. Here's a look at the injury report for the day's games, along with the relevant fantasy and betting implications.
NBA Injury Report: December 15
Jimmy Butler (injury management) – probable
Tyler Herro (ankle) – TBD
Kyle Lowry (injury management) – TBD
Bam Adebayo (injury management) – TBD
Victor Oladipo (injury management) – TBD
Butler sat Wednesday, so he'll likely play today. Herro started Wednesday, so we'll see how the Heat approach him in this one. Oladipo likely won't play back-to-backs so quickly after his return to the court.
Jrue Holiday (illness) – OUT
With Holiday out, Jevon Carter is the main man at point guard for Milwaukee.
Ja Morant (thigh) – questionable
Morant practiced Wednesday, so it seems like he'll play. If he doesn't, Tyus Jones is in line for heavy minutes as the lead guard.
No notable day-to-day injuries for either team at this time.
Devin Booker (hamstring) – questionable
Deandre Ayton (ankle) – questionable
Cam Payne (foot) – OUT
Bismack Biyombo likely starts if Ayton is out. Booker's absence would elevate Landry Shamet and Mikal Bridges. Payne being out likely means a heavier workload for Chris Paul.
Kawhi Leonard (injury management) – TBD
Norman Powell (groin) – doubtful
John Wall (injury management) – probable
Wall sat Wednesday, so he's likely to play today. Leonard played Wednesday and therefore is likely to sit. Powell likely remains out. Reggie Jackson will lose some value with Wall coming back in, while Paul George and Nicolas Batum are elevated in fantasy and DFS formats.
