Jackson accumulated 10 points (4-6 FG, 2-3 FT), four rebounds, two assists and three blocks in 18 minutes during Wednesday's 130-107 win over the Pacers.

With Yanic Konan Niederhauser (foot) out for the Clippers' next two games, Jackson is set to handle the No. 2 center gig behind starter Brook Lopez. The 18 minutes were Jackson's most since he joined the team at the trade deadline, but the big man will still struggle to see enough playing time to warrant streaming attention in most leagues.

Shamet logged 14 points (5-9 FG, 0-3 3Pt, 4-5 FT), three rebounds and two assists in 31 minutes during Wednesday's 103-100 loss to the Thunder.

Shamet continues to be a steady presence with the second unit in New York, though his fantasy appeal remains limited to deeper formats. Over his last eight games, he's averaging 25.0 minutes with 11.9 points, 1.6 assists, 1.3 rebounds and 2.1 three-pointers.

Grant amassed 30 points (11-19 FG, 3-8 3Pt, 5-9 FT), nine rebounds, four assists and one steal in 36 minutes during Wednesday's 122-114 victory over the Grizzlies.

Grant turned in his fourth 30-point game of the year and his first since Dec. 14. Over his last six appearances, the veteran forward has averaged 21.0 points, 4.0 rebounds, 2.2 assists and 2.5 three-pointers in 32.5 minutes per game.

Dort ended with 16 points (4-9 FG, 3-8 3Pt, 5-6 FT), four rebounds and one assist over 33 minutes before fouling out of Wednesday's 103-100 victory over the Knicks.

Dort had a strong offensive showing Wednesday, but lines like these have been few and far between. Over his last eight games, he's averaging 9.1 points on 34.7 percent shooting from the field with 4.0 rebounds, 1.9 assists and 1.8 three-pointers in 29.6 minutes per contest.

George is out for Thursday's game against the Wizards due to right ankle injury management.

Thursday is the second part of Utah's back-to-back, and the team is choosing to hold the star guard out of action. Isaiah Collier should draw the start at point guard versus Washington, and he's averaging 14.5 points, 8.6 assists, 2.8 rebounds and 1.6 steals in 31.4 minutes per contest in 15 games as a starter this season.

Tatum (Achilles) is listed questionable for Friday's game against the Mavericks, with Shams Charania of ESPN relaying that the forward is expected to make his season debut.

Per Charania, Tatum "has been described as ready to go" less than 10 months after undergoing surgery for a ruptured right Achilles tendon, and the six-time All-Star appears likely to debut Friday at home versus Boston if he makes it through shootaround without issue. Tatum, who has been a full participant in 5-on-5 scrimmages for more than a week, is likely to face a significant minutes restriction if he plays Friday. Expect the Celtics to manage Tatum's playing time carefully for the remainder of the regular season with the hope that he's capable of handling something closer to full workload by the time the postseason gets underway.

Clark (illness) is questionable for Thursday's game against Toronto.

Clark recently fell out of Minnesota's rotation, so his status will not have a big impact in fantasy hoops. He's appeared in only one game since the All-Star break.

Edwards (foot) is questionable for Thursday's game versus Toronto.

Edwards was a late addition to the injury report with a familiar issue. Presumably, the Timberwolves are contemplating a maintenance day for their franchise player. If Edwards is held out, the team will likely need Ayo Dosunmu and Bones Hyland to step into larger roles.

Williams (quadriceps) is questionable for Thursday's game against Orlando.

This is a downgrade for Williams, as the Mavericks previously listed him as probable. If Williams is unable to give it a go, the team could turn to Ryan Nembhard and AJ Johnson.

Carter (ankle) participated in Thursday's morning shootaround, Jason Beede of the Orlando Sentinel reports.

Carter missed Tuesday's game against the Wizards and remains day-to-day with a questionable tag. From what it sounds like, both Carter and Anthony Black (quadriceps) could be game-time calls. If Carter is unable to play, Goga Bitadze and Moritz Wagner will likely pick up the slack.
