D'Angelo Russell

Russell (knee) has been listed as probable for Thursday's game against the Timberwolves, Meghan Triplett of YES Network reports.

Russell is dealing with a sore right ankle, but the probable tag suggests he will be available on Thursday. If not, Tyrese Martin is most likely to enter the starting lineup. Martin has not been a great streamer when allowed to start, but he would be worth a look in deep leagues on one of the lighter game days of Week 22.

After missing Saturday's game against Washington with the ankle injury that has had him in and out of the lineup often recently, Russell was back in the lineup and had one of his best games since January. This was his first double-double since January 21 and his most assists in a game since he had 12 on January 2, which was his second game during this stint with the Nets. Russell's availability will continue to be a headache, but this was a solid performance for the veteran.

Cameron Johnson and Noah Clowney are sidelined, while Russell and Claxton are back after missing Saturday's game. Wilson will also return to the starting lineup, which will push Tyrese Martin back to the bench after he started in place of Russell against the Wizards.

Martin started for the injured D'Angelo Russell Saturday and was excellent with 20 points on 11 shots including three made three-pointers. The 26-year-old point guard will have to be more consistent before he's considered a recommended streaming option when the opportunity arises, though. Russell sat out the second game of a back-to-back, but is likely to return to play soon.
