NBC SportsMichael Porter Jr. will miss Thursday's game against the Jazz as he manages a lower back injury.

The injury is listed as "injury management," so it's likely just Porter Jr. getting a day of maintenance after playing on two of the last three nights. Drake Powell is also out for the Nets, so this would likely mean increased usage for Nic Claxton and Noah Clowney, and Terance Mann (ribs) could return to a larger role in the offense.

NBC SportsTerance Mann (ribs) is listed as probable for Thursday's game against the Jazz.

Mann missed games on Monday and Wednesday while battling a rib injury, but is likely to return to the court on Thursday. That would bump Tyrese Martin out of the rotation and should limit Drake Powell's minutes as well.

NBC SportsTerance Mann (ribs) has been ruled out against the Bulls on Wednesday.

Mann missed Monday's game, which allowed Tyrese Martin to log 19 minutes as a starter in his stead. However, Drake Powell played 24 minutes off the bench and was more productive in the box score. Powell is likely only worth streaming in deeper leagues, but he should see the biggest boost with Mann out.

NBC SportsTerance Mann tallied 14 points (5-of-9 FGs, 3-of-3 FTs), four rebounds, six assists and one three-pointer in Friday's loss to the 76ers.

Mann is rostered in only three percent of Yahoo! leagues, and with good reason. While he did record a solid line against the 76ers, his inconsistency makes him difficult to trust in most fantasy formats. However, it appears that he's a lock in the starting lineup for the foreseeable future, especially as first-round pick Drake Powell (4/1/1 in 21 minutes) also has his bouts with inconsistency. There may come a point later in the season when the roles reverse, but we aren't there yet.
