Black (quadriceps) is questionable for Thursday's game against the Mavericks.

Black remains day-to-day after missing the past two games. He was originally slated to play Tuesday, only for the Magic to change their tune before tipoff. Jevon Carter and Tristan da Silva are likely to see more minutes if Black is unable to give it a go.

Carter is questionable for Thursday's game against Dallas with a sore left ankle.

Carter is in danger of missing consecutive outings with the ailment. Goga Bitadze would likely start at center if Carter is out again, with Moritz Wagner filling out the backup minutes in this case.

Brunson recorded 26 points (10-22 FG, 2-7 3Pt, 4-4 FT), two rebounds, 10 assists and one steal over 37 minutes during Tuesday's 111-95 win over Toronto.

Brunson helped the Knicks improve to 40-22 on the season with yet another strong performance. Over his last seven outings, he's averaging 24.1 points, 6.7 assists, 4.0 rebounds and 2.4 three-pointers in 35.0 minutes per contest.

Quickley logged 13 points (4-14 FG, 3-10 3Pt, 2-2 FT), three rebounds, 12 assists and two steals in 33 minutes during Tuesday's 111-95 loss to the Knicks.

Quickley was a bright spot for the Raptors as the team dropped to 35-26 on the season. Toronto's starting point guard is in the midst of a hot stretch with averages of 20.5 points, 6.5 assists, 2.8 rebounds, 1.0 steals and 2.8 three-pointers over his last six games.

Curry (back) is out for Thursday's game against Houston.

Curry remains without a timetable for a return due to left sciatic nerve irritation. The veteran guard can be deemed week-to-week until the Warriors offer another update on his recovery.

Stewart ended Tuesday's 113-109 loss to the Cavaliers with four points (2-4 FG), two rebounds, two assists, two blocks and one steal over 22 minutes.

This was Stewart's first game back in action after serving his seven-game suspension. He reprised his role as the backup center, pushing Paul Reed completely out of the rotation. Across 49 regular-season appearances, Stewart holds averages of 9.9 points, 5.1 rebounds, 1.2 assists and 1.7 blocks.

Porzingis (illness) is out for Thursday's game against Houston.

Porzingis is traveling with the Warriors on their three-game road trip, per Brett Siegel of ClutchPoints.com, which should give him a good chance of playing at some point this week. With the star big man sitting out Thursday, Draymond Green and Al Horford should push for minutes in the 30s.

Payton (ankle) is questionable for Thursday's game against Houston.

The Warriors will be very thin Thursday and will be hoping Payton can give it a go -- Moses Moody (wrist) and Will Richard (ankle) have both been ruled out. De'Anthony Melton and Pat Spencer could have a lot on their plates Thursday.

Richard (ankle) will miss Thursday's game against Houston.

Richard will be sidelined for a second straight contest and remains day-to-day. For now, his status for Saturday's game against the Thunder is in the air.

Moody (wrist) will not play Thursday against Houston.

Moody picked up a right wrist sprain Monday against the Clippers, and he also tweaked his shoulder. The Warriors will hold him out Thursday, and it remains to be seen if he will be cleared in time for Saturday's game against the Thunder.
