Coby White • SG • Hornets

Coby White is Available on Wednesday

Charlotte Hornets guard Coby White (calf) has been removed from the injury report ahead of Wednesday's game against the Boston Celtics. White appears to be ready to play after sitting out of Tuesday's game due to left calf injury management. White has only made three appearances since being traded to Charlotte from Chicago. He finished with 20 points in 21 minutes of action during his latest game on February 28 versus the Trail Blazers. White has decent upside because of his scoring ability, but he won't be a great option because he'll likely continue to be limited.

Kelly Oubre Jr. Won't Play on Wednesday

Philadelphia 76ers forward Kelly Oubre Jr. (illness) is ruled out ahead of Wednesday's game against the Utah Jazz. Oubre will now miss both games of the back-to-back set due to a lingering illness. His next chance to play will come versus the Atlanta Hawks on Saturday. The Sixers are going to need to lean on their backup forwards, with VJ Edgecombe (back) also sidelined. Quentin Grimes, Justin Edwards, and Jabari Walker are all candidates to see increased roles on Wednesday. Walker could be a sneaky streaming option after dropping 20 points with seven rebounds across 19 minutes of action on Tuesday.

VJ Edgecombe is Ruled Out on Wednesday

Philadelphia 76ers guard VJ Edgecombe (back) has been ruled out ahead of Wednesday's game against the Utah Jazz. This doesn't come as a surprise after Edgecombe was forced to exit early during Tuesday's game due to a back issue. He suffered a lumbar contusion and is listed as day-to-day. His next chance to play will come versus the Atlanta Hawks on Saturday. In the meantime, Quentin Grimes and Cameron Payne figure to see increased roles in the rotation. Between the two, Grimes is the better fantasy option ahead of Wednesday's slate.

Isaiah Hartenstein to Play on Wednesday

Oklahoma City Thunder center Isaiah Hartenstein (calf) has been removed from the injury report ahead of Wednesday's game against the New York Knicks. Hartenstein is returning after missing Tuesday's game due to calf injury management. He's back a day later and figures to have a full workload on Wednesday. Over the last 10 games, Hartenstein is averaging 8.8 points, 7.3 rebounds, and 5.1 assists in 23.5 minutes per game. Fantasy managers can feel safe getting Hartenstein back in their lineups ahead of tip-off. Aaron Wiggins and Jaylin Williams figure to lose streaming appeal with Hartenstein returning.

Shai Gilgeous-Alexander is Cleared for Wednesday's Contest

Oklahoma City Thunder guard Shai Gilgeous-Alexander (abdomen) has been removed from the injury report ahead of Wednesday's game against the New York Knicks. The superstar guard is back in the mix after sitting out of Tuesday's contest due to an abdominal strain. It sounds like Tuesday's absence was more of a maintenance day to keep Gilgeous-Alexander healthy and rested. Isaiah Joe will head back to the bench with Gilgeous-Alexander returning on Wednesday. Fantasy managers should expect him to have a full workload on Wednesday. As for Joe, he won't be as appealing for streaming with him playing off the bench.

Collin Murray-Boyles to Remain Sidelined on Thursday

Toronto Raptors forward Collin Murray-Boyles (thumb) has been ruled out ahead of Thursday's game against the Minnesota Timberwolves. This marks the third game in a row that Murray-Boyles has missed due to a left thumb sprain. His next chance to play will come on Sunday, so fantasy managers will need to check back this weekend for another update. His absence should mean increased playing time for Jakob Poeltl and Sandro Mamukelashvili. Poeltl will likely see 30 minutes or more with Murray-Boyles out, so he should be a fairly attractive fantasy option.

Egor Demin Ruled Out for Thursday's Game

Brooklyn Nets guard Egor Demin (foot) has been ruled out ahead of Thursday's game against the Miami Heat. The rookie guard will miss his third game in a row due to a left foot issue. His next chance to get back on the court will be on Saturday, so fantasy managers should check back then. In the meantime, Terance Mann figures to draw another start with Demin still sidelined. Mann finished with eight points, two assists, and three rebounds across 27 minutes of action on Tuesday. He should offer some low-end streaming appeal while Demin is out.

Brandon Ingram • SF • Raptors

Brandon Ingram Considered Questionable For Thursday

Toronto Raptors guard/forward Brandon Ingram (thumb) is listed as questionable for Thursday's matchup with the Minnesota Timberwolves. Ingram appeared on the injury report with a left thumb sprain after finishing with 31 points, two rebounds, four assists, one steal, and one block in Tuesday's 111-95 loss to the Knicks. If Ingram is unable to suit up, Jamal Shead could take on a larger role in the backcourt. The rookie has been an effective backup point guard, and with expanded minutes, he could emerge as a viable streaming option for fantasy managers.

Kyshawn George Slated to Miss Thursday's Matchup With Jazz

Washington Wizards forward Kyshawn George (elbow) won't play Thursday against the Utah Jazz. George will miss his second consecutive game due to a sprained left elbow. With George sidelined, 20-year-old rookie Will Riley should continue to see ample scoring opportunities, while Tre Johnson and Bilal Coulibaly are also expected to take on larger offensive roles during Thursday night's matchup in Washington.

Brandon Williams Expected to Suit Up Against Magic on Thursday

Dallas Mavericks guard Brandon Williams (quadriceps) is considered probable for Thursday's game against Orlando. Williams landed on the injury list with a left quadriceps contusion, but it appears to be a minor issue, and he plans to play despite the injury. The 26-year-old has been fairly productive in his last six outings, averaging 16.3 points during that span. However, his role and scoring output could decline once Cooper Flagg (foot) returns to the lineup.

Cooper Flagg • PF • Mavericks

Cooper Flagg Considered Questionable For Thursday

Dallas Mavericks guard/forward Cooper Flagg (foot) is listed as questionable for Thursday's matchup with the Orlando Magic. Flagg could return after missing eight consecutive games due to a left midfoot sprain. The 19-year-old rookie has averaged 20.4 points, 6.6 rebounds, 4.1 assists, and 1.2 steals across 49 outings this season. If Flagg remains sidelined, Brandon Williams and Ryan Nembhard should continue to handle more playmaking duties. At the same time, Max Christie, Khris Middleton, and P.J. Washington would likely take on increased scoring responsibilities.

Trae Young • PG • Wizards

Trae Young Off Injury List For Thursday

Washington Wizards guard Trae Young (knee/quadriceps) has been removed from the injury list and is set to make his debut with his new team on Thursday against the Utah Jazz. The 27-year-old star guard has been out of action since Dec. 27 due to a right MCL sprain and a right quadriceps contusion. He sustained the injuries while still playing for Atlanta. Across 10 games this season, he has averaged 19.3 points, 8.9 assists, 1.5 rebounds, and 1.0 steals in 28.0 minutes per contest. The four-time NBA All-Star is in line for a 17-20-minute restriction for tomorrow evening. Still, once Young gets fully acclimated and back to full strength, he should quickly reestablish himself as a high-end fantasy contributor.

Klay Thompson • SG • Mavericks

Klay Thompson Probable For Thursday's Clash With Magic

Dallas Mavericks guard/forward Klay Thompson (adductor) is listed as probable for Thursday's matchup with the Orlando Magic. Thompson is dealing with a right adductor contusion and was held out of Tuesday's 117-90 loss to the Hornets. However, the 36-year-old is trending toward a return in Orlando. If Thompson suffers a setback and is unable to suit up, veteran sharpshooter Khris Middleton could see an uptick in minutes and emerge as a viable streaming option for Thursday's contest.

Kevin Love • PF • Jazz

Kevin Love Active Wednesday Night

Utah Jazz forward/center Kevin Love (rest) will suit up on Wednesday night against the Philadelphia 76ers. The veteran big man rested on Monday against Denver, but the Jazz haven't included Love on the injury report for Wednesday's game. Love has been in and out of the lineup all season and hasn't played much recently when available. In February, Love averaged only 14.7 minutes per game across seven outings. Kyle Filipowski is the only big man on the Jazz who is worth considering for fantasy purposes. The Duke product has averaged 15.4 points, 6.2 rebounds, 3.4 assists, and 1.8 steals since the All-Star break.

Jaden Ivey to Miss Five-Game Road Trip

Chicago Bulls guard Jaden Ivey (knee) will not join the team for an upcoming five-game road trip, K.C. Johnson of Chicago Sports Network reports. Ivey missed his seventh consecutive game on Tuesday night against the Oklahoma City Thunder and apparently will be sidelined for at least 10 more days. The Bulls hit the road on Thursday to face the Phoenix Suns and will conclude their trip on March 13 against the Los Angeles Clippers. Anfernee Simons (wrist) is also missing from the backcourt, and Josh Giddey (ankle) may exit the lineup after getting hurt on Tuesday, improving the fantasy prospects of Tre Jones, Collin Sexton, and Rob Dillingham.

Zach Edey Has Season-Ending Ankle Surgery

Memphis Grizzlies center Zach Edey (ankle) underwent season-ending surgery on Tuesday. The team announced on Sunday that Edey will have an ankle procedure but didn't specify a recovery timeline. Now we know that Edey's season is over. The good news is that the 23-year-old big man is expected to make a full recovery ahead of the 2026-27 regular season. Unfortunately, Edey appeared in only 11 games this term, averaging 13.6 points, 11.1 rebounds, and 1.9 blocks in 25.8 minutes. With Santi Aldama (knee) also hurt, Memphis has to rely on Olivier-Maxence Prosper, GG Jackson II, and Taylor Hendricks in the frontcourt.

Matas Buzelis • SF • Bulls

Matas Buzelis Exits Early Tuesday

Chicago Bulls forward Matas Buzelis missed the fourth quarter of Tuesday's loss to the Oklahoma City Thunder due to an ankle sprain, K.C. Johnson of The Chicago Sports Network reports. Buzelis was attempting to produce his fourth consecutive 20-point game, but an ankle injury in the third quarter ruined a productive outing for him. The 21-year-old sophomore finished the contest with 11 points, five rebounds, and three assists in 20 minutes. Buzelis could now miss his first game of the season when Chicago returns to action on Thursday against the Phoenix Suns. Leonard Miller, who tallied eight points and three rebounds in 21 minutes on Tuesday, may replace Buzelis in the first unit.

Josh Giddey Hurts Ankle Tuesday

Chicago Bulls guard Josh Giddey rolled his right ankle in Tuesday's loss to the Oklahoma City Thunder, Joel Lorenzi of The Athletic reports. Giddey left the game late in the third quarter but came back to play until the end. After the game, Giddey said his ankle "doesn't feel too bad." According to Bulls head coach Billy Donovan, the team will evaluate Giddey further on Wednesday. Chicago has two more games scheduled this week, starting with a road contest against the Phoenix Suns on Thursday. Giddey's absence could open the door to the first unit for Collin Sexton, who led the team with 20 points on Tuesday night. Tre Jones and Rob Dillingham will likely also pick up some of the available minutes.

Jarrett Allen • C • Cavaliers

Jarrett Allen Exits Early With Knee Injury

Cleveland Cavaliers center Jarrett Allen injured his right knee on Tuesday night against the Detroit Pistons, Joe Vardon of The Athletic reports. The big man exited the contest in the third quarter, finishing the night with eight points, three rebounds, and one steal in 21 minutes. Despite missing their starting center for most of the second half, the Cavaliers managed to take down the Eastern Conference leaders 113-109. Thomas Bryant saw additional action in Allen's absence, notching nine points, five rebounds, one steal, and one block. Cleveland might promote Bryant to the starting lineup if Allen misses more time, which would boost his fantasy value.

Zion Williamson Ready to Take on Lakers

New Orleans Pelicans forward Zion Williamson (ankle) will be in action against the Los Angeles Lakers on Tuesday night. It was initially unclear whether Williamson would play after the team listed him as questionable on the injury report. The former No. 1 pick sprained his right ankle in Saturday's win over Utah and missed Sunday's matchup with the Clippers. Before he was hurt, Williamson enjoyed an outstanding five-game stretch in which he averaged 24.8 points, 4.4 rebounds, 3.4 assists, and 1.8 blocks.
