Domantas Sabonis May Return To Kings Lineup Thursday
Sacramento Kings center Domantas Sabonis (hamstring) went through full practice on Wednesday and has been listed as questionable for Thursday's game against the Golden State Warriors. This is fantastic news for the Kings and fantasy managers alike, considering Sabonis was ruled out indefinitely just a week ago with a Grade 1 hamstring strain. Jonas Valanciunas has had a strong run as Sacramento's starting center lately but will have to drop back to the bench on Thursday if Sabonis is ready to return to action.

Rudy Gobert Suiting Up Against Nuggets
Minnesota Timberwolves center Rudy Gobert (back) will be in the lineup on Wednesday against the Denver Nuggets. The French big man is dealing with a lingering back injury, but the team has upgraded his status from questionable to available ahead of Wednesday's tip-off. On Sunday against the San Antonio Spurs, Gobert returned from a 10-game absence, posting 18 points, eight rebounds, and two steals in 20 minutes. Despite the long layoff, Gobert showed no signs of rust, but he saw only limited minutes, which may happen again on Wednesday night.

Denver Nuggets forward/center Aaron Gordon (calf) will skip a second consecutive game on Wednesday against the Minnesota Timberwolves.

He is averaging 24.0 points per game since the All-Star break, with fantastic 48.5 percent shooting from downtown.

Matisse Thybulle Available For Season Debut Wednesday Night
Portland Trail Blazers guard/forward Matisse Thybulle (ankle) is ready for his season debut on Wednesday against the New York Knicks. The defensive specialist has faced tough luck with injuries in the 2024-25 season, undergoing a knee procedure and suffering a Grade 2 right ankle sprain. Thybulle is not expected to take on a major role for the Trail Blazers, but his defensive ability could be a big asset for the team in certain situations.

Robert Williams III Ready For Action Against Knicks
Portland Trail Blazers center Robert Williams III (knee) will be active on Wednesday against the New York Knicks after being cleared to return from a 10-game absence. Williams III has recovered from a left knee sprain and will provide much-needed depth at the center position, especially with Deandre Ayton (calf) still out of the lineup. As a result of Williams III's return, Duop Reath could drop out of the rotation.

Jerami Grant Out Against Knicks
Portland Trail Blazers forward Jerami Grant (knee) will not play in Wednesday's matchup against the New York Knicks. He has been downgraded from doubtful to out. This will be Grant's second consecutive absence due to a right knee tendinitis. When Grant exited the lineup on Monday against the Golden State Warriors, Deni Avdija filled his spot in the starting lineup and took on a huge workload, logging 41 minutes. Jabari Walker will help fill Grant's minutes off the bench, while the addition of Matisse Thybulle (ankle) to the rotation will also compensate for Grant's loss.

Damian Lillard Probable For Thursday's Action
Milwaukee Bucks point guard Damian Lillard (groin) is considered probable for Thursday's game against the Los Angeles Lakers. He is managing a groin issue, but Lillard has made nine consecutive appearances and is expected to remain in the lineup on Thursday. Lillard was off form last time out against the Indiana Pacers, shooting only 4-for-14 from the field to finish with 15 points. He will attempt to bounce back against a Lakers that will be without LeBron James (groin) and may also play on Thursday without Luka Doncic (ankle), who is considered questionable for the game.

He had scored 30-plus points in three straight games before settling for 19 in Tuesday's loss to the Indiana Pacers. The last time Antetokounmpo was limited to fewer than 20 points, he responded with a big 23-point, 16-rebound double-double in the following game.

Luka Doncic Listed As Questionable For Thursday
Los Angeles Lakers point guard Luka Doncic (ankle) has been listed as questionable for Thursday's marquee matchup against the Milwaukee Bucks. Last weekend, Doncic battled a back problem, and he is now on the injury report with right ankle soreness. If Doncic is out on Thursday, Austin Reaves should run the backcourt, with Gabe Vincent and Jordan Goodwin stepping into more prominent roles. Both players enjoyed strong starts to the week, as Vincent scored a team-high 24 points in Monday's loss to the Brooklyn Nets, while Goodwin produced 17 points off the bench.

The Phoenix Suns announced veteran guard Monte Morris (back) is unavailable for Wednesday's contest against the Houston Rockets. Morris is set to miss his 14th consecutive contest due to a back injury. The 29-year-old out of action won't affect fantasy this evening since he's only averaging 13.1 minutes and 4.9 points per game across 40 outings this season. His next opportunity to return to the floor is on Friday versus the Sacramento Kings.

Brandon Clarke Cleared To Play Against Jazz
Memphis Grizzlies forward/center Brandon Clarke (knee) has been cleared to return from a one-game absence on Wednesday against the Utah Jazz. He missed Monday's tilt against the Phoenix Suns due to knee soreness and was also iffy for Wednesday when the team initially listed Clarke as questionable on the injury report. The Grizzlies frontcourt is currently without Jaren Jackson Jr. (ankle) and Santi Aldama (calf), giving Clarke an opportunity to contribute more than usual. This month, Clarke has upped his numbers to 10.8 points, 7.8 rebounds, and 1.5 blocks.

With the 27-year-old sidelined, Mason Plumlee will likely be assigned more minutes to support the club's frontcourt for Wednesday's game. Richard's next chance to suit comes on Friday versus the Kings.

Zach Edey Returns To Grizzlies Lineup Wednesday
Memphis Grizzlies center Zach Edey (ankle) will rejoin the lineup for Wednesday's battle against the Utah Jazz. Due to ankle soreness, Edey was unavailable on Monday against the Phoenix Suns and initially carried a questionable tag leading into Wednesday.

Santi Aldama Remains Absent Wednesday
Memphis Grizzlies forward/center Santi Aldama (calf) will remain out for Wednesday's game against the Utah Jazz. The Spaniard has played only once in the last five games and is still recovering from a right calf strain. With Jaren Jackson Jr. (ankle) also unavailable, the frontcourt must rely on Zach Edey (ankle) and Brandon Clarke (knee), while GG Jackson II and Jay Huff also play a bigger role.

Terry Rozier Cleared To Play Wednesday
Miami Heat guard Terry Rozier (illness) will be active on Wednesday against the Los Angeles Clippers. He has shaken off an illness, with the team upgrading Rozier from probable to available. The veteran guard has a tendency to blow hot and cold, and he finished Monday's matchup against the Charlotte Hornets with only four points on 20 percent shooting. Rozier has produced 7.4 points per game since the All-Star break, making him an unattractive fantasy target.
