Corey Brewer went down after being fouled on a jump shot and had to leave the game on Wednesday.
The extent of the injury is unknown at this point but the loss of Brewer would be a big blow for the Thunder in the postseason. He has been a solid pickup for them.

December 13, 2019, 12:07 pmNikola VucevicC, Orlando Magic
Both Nikola Vucevic (right ankle sprain) and Markelle Fultz (illness) were able to go through morning shootaround and will be game-time decisions on Friday night.
Both were considered doubtful as of yesterday but clearly they're improving. It's typically safer to keep players on benches in their return games, just to shake the rust off, but you can at least have one plan that includes Vucevic and Fultz in the lineup tonight. Check back closer to game-time for an update.

Avery Bradley (right leg) will have his minutes limit increased to 20 on Friday night.
Bradley just returned from a hairline fracture in his leg and played 16 minutes in his first game back, so this is just part of the progression. He's not a standard-league option and may still not be even when he returns to full strength.

Rajon Rondo (left hamstring strain) is now probable to face the Heat on Friday.
Rondo's return to the lineup will have a negative effect on Alex Caruso. The veteran was playing well before this latest injury and can be looked at as an option for assists.

Kyle Kuzma (left ankle sprain) will not play on Friday.
Fantasy GMs will need to find someone else to provide top-300 value tonight — seriously, he's a top-260/290 player (8/9-cat) and should not be as widely rostered as he is.

December 13, 2019, 1:13 amNikola JokicC, Denver Nuggets
Nikola Jokic led the Nuggets to a 114-99 win on Thursday with 20 points on 7-of-14 shooting with 11 rebounds, six assists and two 3-pointers.
Jokic hasn't gone into full Joker mode yet, but tonight is about what you'd expect and want from him. There might still be some impatient owners looking for those juicy triple-doubles and high scoring numbers so a buy-low may be in the cards still.

December 13, 2019, 1:09 amJamal MurrayPG, Denver Nuggets
Jamal Murray logged 28 minutes on Thursday, scoring 12 points on 4-of-11 shooting while adding six rebounds, three assists, a steal and two 3-pointers.
Murray was dealing with the funnily named "trunk contusion" but came back and delivered against the Blazers tonight. Deploy him in all of your lineups. Will Barton logged 35 minutes, scoring 15 points on 6-of-12 shooting while adding 11 rebounds, four assists, a steal and two 3-pointers and continues to be one of the most consistent scorers on the Nuggets.

Paul Millsap scored six points 3-of-7 shooting while adding five rebounds and a block on Thursday.
Millsap was dealing with a foot injury and Jerami Grant (20 points, five rebounds, two steals and five triples in 31 minutes) was having a great game so Millsap took extra rest.

December 13, 2019, 1:03 amGary HarrisSG, Denver Nuggets
Gary Harris scored 15 points on 5-of-9 shooting with one rebound, two assists and three triples on Thursday.
Harris is starting to heat up, but we've seen this before this year so there's some skepticism about his season-long value. Feel free to ride him out while he's hot though.

Hassan Whiteside hosted another block party, swatting four shots to go with his 33 points on 15-of-21 shooting with 11 boards, two assists and a triple on Thursday.
Whiteside continues to throw up some huge numbers and the situation is just perfect for him. He'll continue to post huge numbers as long as he's healthy and his 12.5 boards and 2.4 blocks a game are propelling him inside the top-10 on the year.

December 13, 2019, 1:00 amDamian LillardPG, Portland Trail Blazers
Damian Lillard struggled shooting in Thursday's outing vs. the Nuggets, scoring 13 points on 5-of-16 shooting while adding two rebounds, 11 assists, one steal and two triples.
Lillard only scored five points in the first half, but had a game-high in assists. Teams continue to send doubles and play over on screens against Lillard as he's one of the few threats on offense for the Blazers. He's still a first-round value play.
