Ty Jerome • PG • Grizzlies

Ty Jerome Unavailable Wednesday

Memphis Grizzlies point guard Ty Jerome (ankle) won't suit up on Wednesday against the San Antonio Spurs. Jerome has rarely played in back-to-back contests and won't be part of the lineup on Wednesday night after a 17-point, four-assist effort in Monday's loss to Atlanta. His absence will open up a spot in the starting lineup and provide more playing opportunities for the rest of the backcourt. Walter Clayton Jr., Cam Spencer, and Javon Small (back) are all candidates for increased playing time, though the latter carries a questionable tag on the injury report.

Brice Sensabaugh Resting on Wednesday

Utah Jazz forward Brice Sensabaugh (rest) won't play on Wednesday against the Washington Wizards. The 22-year-old battled an illness last week but returned from a two-game absence on Monday against Toronto, finishing with 24 points. Sensabaugh has scored at least 20 points in six straight outings, averaging 21.4 points per game in March. However, he won't be unleashed against Washington's awful defense. John Konchar and Bez Mbeng could pick up extra work on Wednesday night, especially if Cody Williams (shoulder) also isn't in the lineup.

Kyle Filipowski Dealing With Illness, Unlikely to Play Wednesday

Utah Jazz forward/center Kyle Filipowski (illness) is doubtful for Wednesday's game against the Washington Wizards. Centers have consistently dominated the Wizards, but Filipowski will likely miss this chance due to illness. His absence would open up playing time for Oscar Tshiebwe, Kevin Love, and Blake Hinson. Tshiebwe is the likeliest candidate to take over the starting center spot and has picked up momentum from Monday's loss to Toronto. In 28 minutes off the bench, Tshiebwe had a busy night, finishing with 16 points, seven rebounds, two assists, one steal, and two blocks.

Jakob Poeltl • C • Raptors

Jakob Poeltl Could Miss Another Game Wednesday

Toronto Raptors center Jakob Poeltl (back) is listed as questionable for Wednesday's matchup with the Los Angeles Clippers. On Monday, he didn't play in the second leg of a back-to-back against Utah due to lower back injury management. It's an issue that has bothered Poeltl all season, but he's sat out only three games since returning from a seven-week absence in mid-February. Sandro Mamukelashvili started on Monday, and Collin Murray-Boyles was back in the lineup after missing 11 games due to a thumb injury. Mamukelashvili had a great game with 23 points and five steals, and the Raptors are likely to keep him in the first unit if Poeltl can't play on Wednesday night.

Immanuel Quickley • PG • Raptors

Immanuel Quickley Questionable Wednesday

Toronto Raptors point guard Immanuel Quickley (foot) is considered questionable for Wednesday's contest against the Los Angeles Clippers. The team has him listed on the injury report with right foot plantar fasciitis. Quickley's absence on Wednesday could give Jamal Shead a second consecutive start. In a starting role, Shead has played well all season and delivered a career-high 15 assists in Monday's 143-127 win over Utah. He will face a much tougher opponent on Wednesday night, but Shead should see plenty of time on the floor if Quickley is out.

Brandon Clarke to Miss Rest of Season

Memphis Grizzlies forward/center Brandon Clarke (calf) won't return to action this season, the team announced. The 29-year-old suffered a right calf strain in December and will finish the season with only two appearances. Clarke was unavailable before December due to offseason knee surgery. Memphis expects Clarke to make a full recovery ahead of the 2026-27 season. With Zach Edey (ankle, elbow) also out for the rest of the campaign, GG Jackson II, Olivier-Maxence Prosper, and Taylor Hendricks will get plenty of work in the frontcourt.

Ja Morant • PG • Grizzlies

Ja Morant Done for the Season

Memphis Grizzlies point guard Ja Morant (elbow) will miss the remainder of the 2025-26 season, the team announced. The star guard has been on the shelf since late January with a left elbow injury. According to the Grizzlies, Morant is making progress in his recovery from a UCL sprain and recently received a platelet-rich plasma injection. He is expected to make a full recovery ahead of the 2026-27 season. Morant had another injury-plagued season, making only 20 appearances. He averaged 19.5 points, 3.3 rebounds, and 8.1 assists in 28.5 minutes per game. Walter Clayton Jr., Cam Spencer, and Javon Small (back) have all been thrust into bigger roles as a result of Morant's absence.

Royce O'Neale • PF • Suns

Royce O'Neale Available Tuesday Night

Phoenix Suns forward Royce O'Neale (knee) will play on Tuesday against the Denver Nuggets, Duane Rankin of the Arizona Republic reports. He has recently dealt with left knee soreness, missing three games. However, Phoenix listed O'Neale as probable on the initial injury report, and he has officially received the green light to play. O'Neale has been a regular starter throughout the campaign for the Suns, averaging 9.9 points, 4.8 rebounds, 2.8 assists, and 1.1 steals. Phoenix will also have Grayson Allen (knee) back in the lineup on Tuesday night, so Jordan Goodwin will be less involved in the action. He will drop to the bench after filling in for O'Neale in the starting unit.

Grayson Allen • SF • Suns

Grayson Allen Cleared for Action Tuesday

Phoenix Suns guard/forward Grayson Allen (knee) will return to the lineup on Tuesday night against the Denver Nuggets, Duane Rankin of the Arizona Republic reports. He has sat out four games to manage a left knee injury. The team initially listed Alles as questionable for Tuesday's action. Despite battling a knee injury, Allen has had a great year in Phoenix, posting career highs of 17.2 points, 4.2 assists, and 1.4 steals per game. He's averaging 9.3 three-point attempts and should get plenty of looks from downtown on Tuesday night against the Nuggets, who allow the eighth-most three-point attempts in the league.

Brandon Ingram • SF • Raptors

Brandon Ingram Questionable for Wednesday's Game

Toronto Raptors guard/forward Brandon Ingram (heel) is listed as questionable for Wednesday's tilt against the Los Angeles Clippers. He was a late scratch on Monday night against Utah due to right heel inflammation and may remain sidelined for another game. Ja'Kobe Walter performed well in Monday's game as Ingram's replacement in the first unit and will likely keep his starting spot against the Clippers if Ingram isn't healthy enough to return. In a high-scoring game, Walter had 21 points, five rebounds, two assists, one steal, and one block in 28 minutes.

Ryan Dunn Won't Play Against Nuggets

Phoenix Suns forward Ryan Dunn (groin) will miss Tuesday's clash against the Denver Nuggets. He was listed late on the injury report with a questionable tag and has now officially been ruled out. The 23-year-old sophomore is bothered by right groin soreness. Phoenix looks poised to get O'Neale (knee) back on Tuesday night, and his presence in the rotation should help fill the void left by Dunn. With Dunn out, Rasheer Fleming could also carve out a bigger role off the bench.

Paul George • SF • 76ers

Paul George Officially Available Wednesday

Philadelphia 76ers guard/forward Paul George (suspension) will return to action on Wednesday against the Chicago Bulls. He has finished his 25-game suspension for violating the NBA's anti-drug policy, and the team hasn't listed George on the injury report. 76ers head coach Nick Nurse mentioned earlier this week that George won't need a ramp-up period, so fantasy managers can expect him to play his usual minutes against Chicago. The nine-time All-Star has averaged 16.0 points, 5.1 rebounds, 3.7 assists, and 1.5 steals in 30.5 minutes per game this season.

John Collins • PF • Clippers

John Collins is Returning on Wednesday

Los Angeles Clippers forward John Collins (ankle) is available to play ahead of Wednesday's game against the Toronto Raptors. Collins is back in action following a one-game absence due to a left ankle sprain. He should move back into the starting five which should push Nicolas Batum to the second unit. Collins should be rostered and started in most fantasy formats. He's averaging 13.7 points, 5.3 rebounds, and 1.0 assists in 27.5 minutes per game. Fellow forward Kawhi Leonard (ankle) is questionable for Wednesday's game, so Collins could be asked to take on a larger role offensively if Leonard sits out.

Jordan Miller • SF • Clippers

Jordan Miller is Questionable for Wednesday's Game

Los Angeles Clippers guard/forward Jordan Miller (back) is listed as questionable ahead of Wednesday's game against the Toronto Raptors. Miller has been healthy throughout most of the season, but appears to have picked up a back injury during Monday's contest. The second-year guard has been playing a bigger role for the Clippers this season. He's averaging 9.8 points, 3.1 rebounds, and 2.2 assists across 21.6 minutes per game this season. Fellow forward Kawhi Leonard (ankle) carries a questionable tag into Wednesday's contest as well. Bennedict Mathurin, John Collins, and Kobe Sanders could be asked to play bigger roles if both players are unable to suit up. Fantasy managers will need to check back for another update ahead of Wednesday's tip-off.

Bennedict Mathurin • SG • Clippers

Bennedict Mathurin is Returning on Wednesday

Los Angeles Clippers guard/forward Bennedict Mathurin (toe) has been cleared to play ahead of Wednesday's game against the Toronto Raptors. Mathurin is ready to return after missing four straight games due to a right toe injury. There is no word on a minutes limit, but it wouldn't be shocking to see the Clippers somewhat monitor his playing time during his first game back. Mathurin has been playing extremely well in March. Over the last 10 games, Mathurin is averaging 19.4 points, 5.8 rebounds, and 1.7 assists. For fantasy managers still playing, Mathurin is a solid fantasy option down the stretch of the season. Fantasy managers in season-long formats should get him active ahead of Wednesday's tip-off.

Kawhi Leonard • SF • Clippers

Kawhi Leonard is Uncertain for Wednesday's Game

Los Angeles Clippers forward Kawhi Leonard (ankle) is listed as questionable ahead of Wednesday's game against the Toronto Raptors. Leonard has played in two straight games, but continues to be on the injury report due to a left ankle sprain. If Leonard gets downgraded, Jordan Miller (back), Nicolas Batum, and Bennedict Mathurin are all candidates to see expanded roles. Mathurin is making his return after missing four straight games. The Clippers could be monitoring his minutes during his first game back. When he's at full speed, Mathurin is a reliable fantasy option. Also, Miller has been quietly playing well lately and is worth a look in deep leagues.

Kyle Kuzma • PF • Bucks

Kyle Kuzma Carries Questionable Tag for Wednesday

Milwaukee Bucks forward Kyle Kuzma (Achilles) is listed as questionable ahead of Wednesday's game against the Portland Trail Blazers. Kuzma missed Monday's contest due to an Achilles issue and could be headed towards a second straight absence. Jericho Sims moved into the starting five, but didn't offer much on the stat sheet. Sims finished with four points and three rebounds across 19 minutes on Monday. The 27-year-old could draw another start on Wednesday, but doesn't offer enough upside to warrant streaming. Fantasy managers should check back ahead of tip-off for another update on Kuzma.

Bobby Portis • PF • Bucks

Bobby Portis is Tagged as Questionable for Wednesday

Milwaukee Bucks forward/center Bobby Portis (wrist) is listed as questionable ahead of Wednesday's game against the Portland Trail Blazers. Portis returned from a one-game absence on Monday, but now is dealing with a wrist injury. He finished with 11 points and six rebounds across 20 minutes of action during Monday's game. If he sits out, Jericho Sims and Pete Nance would see increased workloads as the backup centers. Between the two, Nance has been the more consistent option, so he's the better streaming choice if Portis is unable to play on Wednesday.

Kevin Porter Jr. • PG • Bucks

Kevin Porter Jr. to Miss Fourth Straight Game

Milwaukee Bucks guard Kevin Porter Jr. (knee) has been ruled out ahead of Wednesday's game against the Portland Trail Blazers. Porter will miss his fourth game in a row due to right knee inflammation. It has been a frustrating month for Porter, who has only been able to suit up for five games in March. Taurean Prince has drawn two straight starts, so he figures to get another one on Wednesday. He finished with five points and six rebounds across 20 minutes of action during Monday's game. The veteran forward will offer low-end streaming appeal if he gets another start on Wednesday.

Isaiah Collier • PG • Jazz

Isaiah Collier Remains Out Wednesday

Utah Jazz guard Isaiah Collier (hamstring) will remain out for Wednesday's game against Washington, extending his absence as he continues to recover from a left hamstring strain. His next opportunity to return comes Friday against Denver. Kennedy Chandler has been the more useful fantasy option lately, putting up 13 points, five rebounds, nine assists, and three steals off the bench in the last game. He makes sense as a deep-league streamer if you need assists and steals. Bez Mbeng should still see plenty of minutes as a starter, but his limited scoring upside keeps him more of a deeper-league play.
