He has scored in double digits in seven of his last eight outings, and over that span he has averaged 15.4 points, 3.0 rebounds, 2.5 assists, 4.0 threes and 0.9 steals over 27.3 minutes per game.

Craig Porter Jr. - Starting Thursday Porter is in the starting lineup for Thursday's matchup with Minnesota.

Impact Porter will be joined in the first unit by Darius Garland, Donovan Mitchell, Evan Mobley and Jarrett Allen. This will be Porter's first start this season, but he's capable of racking up the defensive stats when given the minutes, so he's on the radar as a streaming target with just four games on Thursday's slate.

Larry Nance Jr. - Available to play Nance (calf) is available to play Thursday versus the Timberwolves, Chris Fedor of The Cleveland Plain Dealer reports.

Impact Nance will be available for the first time since Nov. 28, but that doesn't necessarily mean he'll play. He's going to be eased back into things after a lengthy layoff, so for now, Nance can safely remain on the waiver wire.

Impact Garland was added to the injury report earlier in the day with a right hand contusion, but he was spotted going through his normal warmups about one hour before tipoff and has since been given the green light to play.

Darius Garland - Iffy for Thursday Garland is questionable for Thursday's game against Minnesota with a right hand contusion.

Impact Garland was a very late addition to the injury report, and that's usually not a good sign in fantasy hoops. Garland was terrific Tuesday against Indiana, finishing with 29 points (14-23 FG, 1-4 3Pt), six assists and two rebounds across 33 minutes. Craig Porter and Lonzo Ball may be asked to step up if Garland is unable to clear this questionable tag.
