Josh Giddey • SG • Bulls

Josh Giddey Likely Active Thursday

Chicago Bulls guard Josh Giddey (ankle) is listed as probable for Thursday's matchup against the Lakers and is expected to play through a minor right ankle sprain. The 23-year-old has been rolling lately, averaging 17.0 points, 10.8 rebounds, 11.0 assists, and 3.2 three-pointers across his last five games while logging 34 minutes per contest. As long as he is active, Giddey remains a must-start player in all formats due to his triple-double upside. Tre Jones, Matas Buzelis (ankle), if active, and Collin Sexton (lower leg), if available, could see more playmaking chances if any setback occurs, though Giddey should continue to handle primary creation duties.

Isaiah Hartenstein Remains Out Against Boston

Oklahoma City Thunder center Isaiah Hartenstein (calf) has been ruled out for Thursday's game against Boston, marking his third straight absence due to a left calf contusion. His next opportunity to return comes Sunday versus Minnesota. Jaylin Williams should continue to see meaningful minutes in the frontcourt, though his upside may be slightly capped with Chet Holmgren back. Williams erupted for 29 points, 12 rebounds, three assists, and two blocks across 40 minutes in his last outing and remains a viable deep-league streamer. Kenrich Williams may also see a modest run, but Holmgren remains the biggest beneficiary.

Chet Holmgren Ready to Play Thursday

Oklahoma City Thunder forward/center Chet Holmgren (illness) is off the injury report and expected to return Thursday against Boston after missing two games. Holmgren has been productive when available, averaging 16.2 points, 11.6 rebounds, 2.4 assists, and 2.0 blocks over his last five appearances while playing about 31 minutes. His return should push Jaylin Williams back into a reserve role and reduce the minutes available for Kenrich Williams. Jaylin Williams could still have some deep-league value with Isaiah Hartenstein (calf) sidelined, but Holmgren resumes must-start status in all fantasy formats.

Josh Hart Won't Play Wednesday vs. Jazz

New York Knicks guard/forward Josh Hart (knee) has been ruled out for Wednesday's game against Utah after initially being listed as doubtful due to left knee soreness. His absence should open extra wing minutes, with Landry Shamet logging nine points and three three-pointers in 23 minutes last game, while Mohamed Diawara added five points, four rebounds, and two assists in 18 minutes. Jose Alvarado and Jordan Clarkson may also see situational run, though their roles remain unclear. Shamet profiles as a possible deep-league streamer for threes, while the rest remain risky fringe options due to uncertain minutes.

Victor Wembanyama Questionable vs. Nuggets

San Antonio Spurs center Victor Wembanyama (ankle) is questionable for Thursday's game against the Nuggets due to right ankle soreness. The 22-year-old has been a fixture in the lineup since January, so any absence would be notable for fantasy managers. If he sits, Luke Kornet could move into a larger role after logging 11 minutes with four points, three rebounds, and two assists in the last game. Wembanyama remains a must-start if active, while Kornet would profile as a deep-league streamer for blocks and rebounds. De'Aaron Fox and Stephon Castle could also see slight usage bumps if Wembanyama is ruled out.

Keyonte George Set to Suit Up Wednesday

Utah Jazz guard Keyonte George (illness) is available for Wednesday's matchup against the Knicks and is expected to remain in the starting lineup. The second-year guard played through the same issue Monday, finishing with 15 points, two assists, and one three-pointer in 24 minutes, and could again see a slightly managed workload. If his minutes stay in check, Isaiah Collier could continue seeing meaningful run off the bench. George still carries standard-league value for his scoring and usage, while Collier remains a viable deeper-league option for assists and guard depth.

Jakob Poeltl Cleared to Play Wednesday vs. Pelicans

Toronto Raptors center Jakob Poeltl (illness) is available for Wednesday's game against the Pelicans after missing Tuesday's contest. The 30-year-old is expected to return to the starting lineup, which should push Sandro Mamukelashvili back into a reserve role. Poeltl has been providing steady category production, averaging 13.4 points, 8.2 rebounds, 2.6 assists, 1.6 blocks, and 1.4 steals across his last five games while playing 28.6 minutes. Poeltl's return reinforces Toronto's frontcourt, while Mamukelashvili's streaming value takes a hit.

Kelly Oubre Jr. • SF • 76ers

Kelly Oubre Jr. Out at Least Two Weeks

According to Michael Scotto of USA Today, Philadelphia 76ers forward Kelly Oubre Jr. (elbow) will miss at least two weeks. Oubre is dealing with a sprain of the lateral collateral ligament in his left elbow. The 30-year-old was already out of action for nearly two months with a knee sprain. With Oubre on the shelf and so many 76ers injuries, Justin Edwards could see an expanded role and is a sneaky streaming option as he finished with 14 points, two rebounds and three assists in 28 minutes during Monday's loss to the Cavs.

Grant Williams • PF • Hornets

Grant Williams Sidelined Against Kings

Charlotte Hornets forward/center Grant Williams (knee) is unavailable for Wednesday's matchup with the Sacramento Kings. Williams will sit out the back end of the team's back-to-back due to knee injury management. Williams finished with three points, one rebound, one assist and two steals across 14 minutes during Tuesday's 103-101 win over the Trail Blazers. His next chance to return to the floor is Saturday on the road against the Spurs. Extra minutes will likely be distributed to Sion James, who collected 11 points in his last outing on Tuesday after scoring a combined 12 points in the previous three contests.

Coby White Active On Wednesday

Charlotte Hornets guard Coby White (calf) is available to suit up on Wednesday against the Sacramento Kings. White sat out the first leg of the team's back-to-back on Tuesday due to left calf injury management. Since moving to Charlotte, White has averaged 12.3 points, 2.3 rebounds, and 4.0 assists in 18.3 minutes. Sion James and Josh Green's minutes will be reduced with White returning to the rotation during tonight's tilt.

Stephen Curry • PG • Warriors

Stephen Curry Expected to Miss 10 More Days

According to Shams Charania of ESPN, Golden State Warriors guard Stephen Curry (knee) is expected to miss at least 10 more days. His ailing right knee will keep him out of action for at least five more games. The superstar guard has already missed 15 consecutive contests. Curry has participated in on-court workouts and will likely ramp up his activities soon. The 37-year-old's continued absence will keep the backcourt usage spread across Brandin Podziemski, Pat Spencer, Gary Payton II, LJ Cryer, and Will Richard. Spencer finished with 17 points, six assists, three rebounds, and one steal across 30 minutes against the Chicago Bulls on Tuesday, and he could continue to be productive with extended minutes.

Ace Bailey • SF • Jazz

Ace Bailey Cleared to Play Wednesday

Utah Jazz guard/forward Ace Bailey (illness) is not listed on the injury report for Wednesday night's action against the New York Knicks. He missed Monday's victory over Golden State due to illness. Bailey's return to the lineup will affect guys like Brice Sensabaugh, Blake Hinson, and John Konchar (calf). The 19-year-old finished his last outing with only nine points, but he has boosted his production with more playing time since the All-Star break. Across his last eight appearances, Bailey has notched 16.4 points, 5.0 rebounds, and 1.3 steals per game.

Keyonte George Still Dealing With Illness, Questionable Wednesday

Utah Jazz point guard Keyonte George (illness) is listed as questionable for Wednesday's contest against the New York Knicks. He played through an illness on Monday against Golden State but may have to take Wednesday night off. Isaiah Collier (illness) is ready to step in for George if needed after he was removed from the injury report. In 12 games without George this season, Collier has averaged 17.3 points, 9.8 assists, and 1.8 steals. On Wednesday night, his role on offense might be even bigger, as the Jazz don't have much proven NBA talent in their current lineup.

Mitchell Robinson • C • Knicks

Mitchell Robinson Available for Wednesday's Tilt

New York Knicks center Mitchell Robinson (ankle) has not been listed on the injury report for Wednesday's game against the Utah Jazz. The Knicks are coming off a back-to-back, and Robinson didn't play in the second game on Monday against the Los Angeles Clippers. With no back-to-back sets scheduled for the Knicks for the rest of the month, Robinson is set to play regularly in the coming weeks. However, his fantasy value remains limited as a backup to Karl-Anthony Towns. Over his last 10 appearances, Robinson has averaged 4.4 points, 8.4 rebounds, and 1.1 blocks in 19.0 minutes.

Josh Hart • SF • Knicks

Josh Hart Questionable for Wednesday Night

New York Knicks guard/forward Josh Hart (knee) is considered questionable for Wednesday's meeting with the Utah Jazz. The veteran utility man is experiencing soreness in his left knee and could miss his first action since Feb. 4. Without Hart, Landry Shamet and Mohamed Diawara are expected to be more involved in the rotation, with one of them likely to start. Shamet's performances have been more consistent, making him a better fantasy target, but he's a fairly one-dimensional player. Since the All-Star break, Shamet has averaged 11.3 points, 1.4 rebounds, and 1.4 assists per game.

Jarrett Allen • C • Cavaliers

Jarrett Allen Remains Out Wednesday

Cleveland Cavaliers center Jarrett Allen (knee) will be sidelined for a third straight game on Wednesday against the Orlando Magic. He continues to deal with right knee tendonitis and will have his next chance to return on Friday versus the Dallas Mavericks. In Allen's absence, Dean Wade has looked decent as a starter, recording a 13-point, 10-rebound double-double in Monday's victory over Philadelphia. Thomas Bryant's workload has also slightly increased, but his numbers aren't good enough to warrant fantasy consideration.

Cameron Johnson • PF • Nuggets

Cameron Johnson Considered Probable Wednesday

Denver Nuggets forward Cameron Johnson (back) is expected to play on Wednesday night against the Houston Rockets, as the team has listed him as probable. Johnson struggled with back spasms during Monday's loss to Oklahoma City. His move to Denver has not worked out well for Johnson, who has managed only 11.1 points per game. The 30-year-old recently had his second game of the season with zero points. Over his last six outings, Johnson has contributed only 7.2 points, 4.3 rebounds, and 2.5 assists per game, shooting a horrible 27.9 percent from the field.

Jamal Murray Probable for Matchup With Rockets

Denver Nuggets point guard Jamal Murray (ankle) is listed as probable for Wednesday's game against the Houston Rockets. Murray injured his left ankle last week but played through it in Monday's loss to Oklahoma City. The probable designation indicates that Murray will remain in the lineup on Wednesday night. Murray has already faced the Rockets three times this season, with averages of 25.7 points, 3.0 rebounds, and 7.3 assists per game. He has finished all three contests with three makes from downtown.

Maxi Kleber • C • Lakers

Maxi Kleber Ruled Out vs. Timberwolves

Los Angeles Lakers forward/center Maxi Kleber (back) will not play Tuesday against the Timberwolves after being listed late on the injury report with a lumbar strain. Kleber has held a modest reserve role this season, averaging around 11 minutes per game, so the direct fantasy fallout is limited. Jarred Vanderbilt is the most likely beneficiary and could see a small uptick in minutes in the Lakers' frontcourt rotation. Vanderbilt logged 11 minutes in the previous game, finishing with three points, two rebounds, one assist, and one block. Deandre Ayton and Rui Hachimura should continue handling most of the frontcourt workload.

Bam Adebayo Scores 83 Points in Historic Night

Miami Heat forward/center Bam Adebayo delivered a historic performance against the Wizards, erupting for 83 points while shooting 20-for-43 from the field, 7-for-22 from three-point range, and 36-for-43 at the free-throw line. The 28-year-old's scoring total ranks second all time behind Wilt Chamberlain's 100 and ahead of Kobe Bryant's 81. Adebayo also dominated usage throughout the night and could continue carrying Miami's offense if Tyler Herro (quadriceps), Norman Powell (groin), and Andrew Wiggins (toe) remain limited by injuries. His massive workload caps the value of secondary options like Jaime Jaquez Jr. and Kel'el Ware (shoulder).
