We have just five games on Thursday's NBA slate, with one lone nationally televised contest taking place at night on NBATV. Here's a look at the day's injury report, along with the relevant fantasy and betting implications.
NBA Injury Report: March 16
Jamal Murray (injury management) – probable
Murray should be in for the Nuggets. If he's downgraded, Reggie Jackson will be the lead point guard for Denver.
Jaden Ivey (protocols) – probable
Marvin Bagley (ankle) – OUT
Ivey should get big minutes in this one for the tanking Pistons. With Bagley out, James Wiseman will command most of the frontcourt minutes here.
No notable day-to-day injuries for either team at this time.

Tyrese Haliburton (ankle) – questionable
T.J. McConnell (back) – questionable
Myles Turner (back) – questionable
Buddy Hield (foot) – questionable
The Pacers could start to tank even though they are in play for the No. 10 seed. Isaiah Jackson and Andrew Nembhard should be solid DFS filler plays assuming a few key guys for Indiana get ruled out.
Brook Lopez (ankle) – questionable
Grayson Allen (foot) – OUT
Jae Crowder (calf) – probable
If Lopez is out, Bobby Portis should see more playing time. Pat Connaughton gets a boost with Allen sidelined.
Torrey Craig (heel) – probable
Craig should be in for Phoenix.
