Harry Giles (left thigh contusion) will not return Thursday against the Mavs.

Advice: He was grabbing near his knee and had the training staff look at him near the bench about 45 minutes prior to this news. The optimistic side of this that it isn't to his knees, which have bothered him since his high-school days. However, the Kings may want to be careful with Giles given his injury history. Marvin Bagley could see more minutes at the five to open up minutes for Nemanja Bjelica and Bogdan Bogdanovic, or maybe Kosta Koufos sees more run. Besides Bagley needing to be owned everywhere and maybe a small bump to Bjelica, there isn't much of an add to make. This also could help Willie Cauley-Stein with a longer leash.

Dewayne Dedmon fared well against the Jazz on Thursday with 18 points, nine rebounds, two assists, three blocks and three 3-pointers in 28 minutes.

Advice: Dedmon is alive again. His playing time had been on the rise over his previous three, and he puts up his best game since returning from a knee issue on Mar. 10. In his last five, Dedmon averaged 9.4 points, 9.8 boards, 1.4 steals, 1.2 blocks and 1.4 treys. He should be owned in standard leagues. Rotoworld.com Yesterday, 8:06 pm

Torrey Craig scored 15 points on 6-of-11 shooting with one rebound, four assists, one steal, one block and three 3-pointers in 25 minutes against the Wizards on Thursday.

Advice: After playing just seven seconds against the Pacers on Saturday, Craig has turned in two solid performances. Juancho Hernangomez and Isaiah Thomas have been out of coach Mike Malone's rotation, giving Craig more minutes. The Nuggets have four games in each of the next two weeks so he may have worked his way back onto the deep-league radar. Rotoworld.com Yesterday, 7:57 pm

Donovan Mitchell scored 34 points during a 117-114 loss to the Hawks on Thursday, adding four rebounds, two assists, two blocks, one steal and two 3-pointers in 36 minutes.

Advice: It was a smash spot for Donny Mitch and he comes through. The bad news is the Jazz had their five-game winning streak snapped, but they have a cupcake schedule for the next week: at Chicago, vs. Phoenix, vs. Lakers, vs. Wizards. Mitchell continues to tear it up since the break, averaging 28.0 points, 4.4 boards, 4.6 dimes, 0.9 steals and 3.3 treys on a 46/43/80 shooting line over his previous 14. He costs more in DFS these days and he should be worth it with some easy defenses on the horizon. Rotoworld.com Yesterday, 7:54 pm

Rudy Gobert was below expectations against the Hawks on Thursday with 12 points, 11 rebounds, three assists, one steal and no blocks in 32 minutes.

Advice: He didn't use a possession until the middle of the second quarter, but he was able to salvage a decent offensive game in the second half. It's a small letdown in one of the best matchups for big men, and Gobert has gone block-less in two straight for the first time all season. There's nothing to worry about here and he's totally trustworthy as the Jazz battle for seeding. Rotoworld.com Yesterday, 7:41 pm

Kemba Walker made 10-of-22 from the field for 31 points with five rebounds, six assists and one 3-pointer in 35 minutes during a 113-106 win over the Wolves on Thursday.

Advice: There were some major changes to the rotation today, but it certainly didn't affect Kemba. Last season, Walker's minutes didn't trend down until the last week of the season, and he's always said he just wants to play basketball. The Hornets may give him what he wants to just keep him out there in hopes he'll re-sign this summer. Keep him rolling, but is fantasy owners may want to make sure he's a go for a back-to-back set on Saturday and Sunday. Rotoworld.com Yesterday, 7:34 pm

Mason Plumlee scored four points on 2-of-3 shooting with 11 rebounds, four assists and one steal in 26 minutes against the Wizards on Thursday.

Advice: Plumlee failed to block at least one shot for the first time in nine games. He continues to see minutes in the low-20s off the bench and plays with Nikola Jokic quite a bit. He's not the most versatile fantasy player, but he'll rebound and block shots. The Nuggets have four games in each of the next two weeks, making Plumlee a potential add for owners in deeper leagues.

Jeremy Lamb played 28 minutes with 13 points, 10 rebounds, one assist and one turnover against the Wolves on Thursday.

Advice: His playing time did take a small hit with the Hornets expanding their rotation. The 26-year-old Lamb should still have at least a couple games before he has to worry about Malik Monk and Dwayne Bacon, but is fantasy owners will want to be on the lookout for the upcoming back-to-back set on Saturday and Sunday.

Tony Parker was a DNP-CD on Thursday against the Wolves.

Advice: He's a legend, but the Hornets are very likely to turn to Devonte Graham as the backup PG the rest of the way. Rotoworld.com Yesterday, 7:19 pm

Dwayne Bacon got the start with four points, five rebounds, five assists, one steal and no turnovers in 19 minutes against the Wolves on Thursday.

Advice: After the game, coach James Borrego would not commit to starting Bacon over Nic Batum with the Hornets still technically in the playoff hunt. Bacon does not offer much of a ceiling in fantasy with a lack of defensive stats, a low usage rate, and not really doing anything special on the stat sheet. He's a punt or deep stream at best.
