NBA injury report, March 9: Updates for Giannis Antetokounmpo, Jalen Brunson, Jordan Clarkson, more

We've got just six games on Thursday's NBA slate, anchored by a doubleheader on TNT. Here's a look at the day's injury report, along with the relevant fantasy and betting implications.

NBA Injury Report: March 9

Bojan Bogdanovic (Achilles) – OUT, likely to be shut down
Killian Hayes (hand) – probable
Jalen Duren (ankle) – probable
Alec Burks (foot) – OUT
Isaiah Stewart (hip) – OUT

The Pistons continue to tank, so Marvin Bagley and James Wiseman remain strong value plays. Hayes could be a nice filler option as a perimeter player. We'll see if Duren actually gets decent minutes or if Detroit decides it has seen enough of him this season.

Kevin Porter Jr. (thigh) – OUT

With Porter Jr. out, Jalen Green is the best volume play for the Rockets.

Jordan Clarkson (finger) – questionable
Walker Kessler (illness) – questionable

Ochai Agbaji and Udoka Azubuike are likely to get big minutes even if Clarkson and Kessler are available for Utah.

Wendell Carter Jr. (hip) – OUT
Gary Harris (groin) – available

Harris is available to play but it's hard to say he'll get big minutes. Moritz Wagner is set to start with Carter Jr. out.

Kevon Looney (back) – probable
Jonathan Kuminga (ankle) – probable

Both guys should be in for Golden State.

Ja Morant (personal) – OUT, expected to miss at least next four games

Tyus Jones will continue to get the start with Morant still away from the team.

Nic Claxton (Achilles, thumb) – OUT
Spencer Dinwiddie (rest) – OUT
Cam Johnson (knee) – OUT

Look for Day'Ron Sharpe, Cam Thomas and Mikal Bridges to be the prominent players for Brooklyn in this game.

Giannis Antetokounmpo (illness) – probable
Jrue Holiday (neck) – probable

Both stars should be in for Milwaukee.

Jalen Brunson (foot) – questionable

If Brunson doesn't play, Immanuel Quickley will remain the best value play on the fantasy/DFS slate.

De'Aaron Fox (hamstring) – available

Fox is officially off the injury report, so he's good to go for this clash. Davion Mitchell will go back to his bench role with the All-Star back in action.
