Gui Santos Ruled Out Against San Antonio

Golden State Warriors forward Gui Santos (pelvis) is out for Wednesday's game against San Antonio after being downgraded from questionable, opening minutes in a thin frontcourt rotation. His next chance to return comes Thursday, but in the short term, Will Richard could see a larger role after producing eight points with two three-pointers, two rebounds, and two assists in a 25-minute start recently. Malevy Leons and Nate Williams may also see deeper rotation minutes. Richard is a viable streamer in deeper formats, while Draymond Green and Brandin Podziemski should handle more of the playmaking duties with Santos out.

Bobby Portis, Kyle Kuzma Ruled Out Wednesday

Milwaukee Bucks forwards Bobby Portis (wrist) and Kyle Kuzma (Achilles) are out for Wednesday's game against Houston, further thinning an already depleted rotation. Kuzma scored 20 points with six rebounds and three assists in 23 minutes Tuesday, but this appears to be precautionary maintenance on the second night of a back-to-back. Ousmane Dieng should continue seeing elevated usage after posting 11 points, 10 rebounds, and five assists in 29 minutes, making him a strong streamer. Pete Nance also gains deep-league appeal after a 39-minute start recently, while AJ Green may see added shot volume.

Ryan Rollins Won't Suit up on Wednesday

Milwaukee Bucks guard Ryan Rollins (hip) won't suit up for Wednesday's game against the Houston Rockets. Rollins made his return to the court on Tuesday, but will sit out the second leg of this back-to-back set. He finished with 24 points, nine assists, and seven rebounds across 36 minutes of action. The Bucks will likely need to lean on AJ Green, Gary Trent Jr., and Andre Jackson Jr. on Wednesday. Out of this trio, Green is the most consistent fantasy option. He should be considered a trustworthy DFS option for Wednesday's slate.

Obi Toppin • PF • Pacers

Obi Toppin Good to Go Against Chicago

Indiana Pacers forward Obi Toppin (foot) is available for Wednesday's game against Chicago after entering with a probable tag, giving Indiana another usable frontcourt body amid multiple injuries. He has averaged 13.2 points, 3.8 rebounds, 3.4 assists, and 1.6 three-pointers in 18.7 minutes over his last five games with a 26.9 usage rate, making him a viable deep-league streamer while the roster is thin. His minutes floor looks safer with Andrew Nembhard (back) and Aaron Nesmith (neck) sidelined, while Pascal Siakam and Jay Huff should continue seeing stable workloads alongside him in expanded rotations.

Myles Turner Won't Play on Wednesday

Milwaukee Bucks center Myles Turner (ankle) has been ruled out ahead of Wednesday's game against the Houston Rockets. This appears to be a rest day for Turner during the second leg of the back-to-back set. Turner returned to the lineup on Tuesday and finished with 10 points, eight rebounds, and four blocks in 27 minutes of action. The Bucks aren't playing for anything at this point in the season, so it's not shocking to see them resting players. Jericho Sims should get the start at center, while Pete Nance and Ousmane Dieng see increased roles as well. Sims could have some deep league streaming value or a cheap DFS option for Wednesday's slate.

Pascal Siakam to Play on Wednesday

Indiana Pacers forward Pascal Siakam (knee) is available to play ahead of Wednesday's game against the Chicago Bulls. As expected, Siakam will play after being listed as probable on the injury report due to a lingering right knee issue. The Pacers have a ton of injuries right now, so Siakam is the go-to guy on offense. This season, Siakam is averaging 23.8 points, 6.7 rebounds, and 3.8 assists across 33.4 minutes per game. He is one of the most elite fantasy options at the power forward spot right now. Siakam needs to be rostered and started in all fantasy formats.

Scottie Barnes • SF • Raptors

Scottie Barnes is Available on Wednesday

Toronto Raptors guard/forward Scottie Barnes (shoulder) is available to play ahead of Wednesday's game against the Sacramento Kings. Barnes will shake off the questionable tag and suit up for this game after being tagged on the injury report due to a left shoulder contusion. Barnes will likely be asked to carry the load on offense with Brandon Ingram (heel) and Immanuel Quickley (foot) both sidelined on Wednesday. The 24-year-old has been on a roll lately with 10 or more assists in five straight games. Fantasy managers need to make sure Barnes is in their lineups ahead of tip-off.

Brandon Ingram • SF • Raptors

Brandon Ingram is Absent on Wednesday

Toronto Raptors forward Brandon Ingram (heel) has been ruled out ahead of Wednesday's game against the Sacramento Kings. In an unsurprising decision, the Raptors have decided to rest Ingram during the second leg of this back-to-back set. Ingram will take a seat due to right heel inflammation management. The expectation is that Ingram will be back in the mix for Friday's game against the Memphis Grizzlies. His absence should mean larger roles for Jamal Shead, Ja'Kobe Walter, and Gradey Dick. Among the three, Shead is probably the best streaming choice after dishing out 22 assists over the last two games.

Immanuel Quickley • PG • Raptors

Immanuel Quickley to Miss Sixth Straight Game

Toronto Raptors guard Immanuel Quickley (foot) has been ruled out ahead of Wednesday's game against the Sacramento Kings. Quickley will miss his sixth game in a row due to right foot plantar fasciitis. It sounds like Quickley is progressing in his recovery, but he should still be considered doubtful for Friday's contest against the Memphis Grizzlies. Ja'Kobe Walter is in line to draw another start with Quickley out again on Wednesday. Walter has finished with 11 points or more in six of his last eight games. He should be a viable fantasy option while Quickley is sidelined. Jamal Shead is also worth a look after dishing out 22 assists over the last two games.

Jalen Brunson is Ruled Out on Wednesday

New York Knicks guard Jalen Brunson (ankle) has been ruled out ahead of Wednesday's game against the Memphis Grizzlies. Fantasy managers and Knicks fans don't need to worry as this appears to be a maintenance day. It's the second leg of a back-to-back set, so the Knicks have elected to rest Brunson against a struggling Grizzlies squad. The Knicks' backcourt is going to be extremely thin with Miles McBride (pelvis) also sitting out. That means Jose Alvarado, Jordan Clarkson, and Landry Shamet should all see increased playing time. Out of the trio, Alvarado is the most consistent option to use as a streaming option for Wednesday's slate.

Josh Giddey • SG • Bulls

Josh Giddey Sidelined on Wednesday

According to K.C. Johnson of Chicago Sports Network, Chicago Bulls guard Josh Giddey (hamstring) won't play against the Indiana Pacers on Wednesday. Giddey was added late to the injury report and will miss his first game since March 5 due to left hamstring tightness. The 23-year-old's next chance to play is against the Knicks on Friday. Rob Dillingham could take on extra minutes with Giddey out of action this evening. The 21-year-old has averaged 8.3 points, 2.9 assists and 2.6 rebounds in 20.3 minutes per outing across 23 appearances since joining the Bulls.

Anthony Edwards Considered Questionable for Thursday

Minnesota Timberwolves guard Anthony Edwards (knee) is questionable for Thursday's game against the Detroit Pistons. Edwards was recently sidelined for six straight games due to right knee inflammation and is in danger of missing the first set of a back-to-back Thursday evening. If he's unable to suit up, Mike Conley, Bones Hyland and Terrence Shannon Jr. will see heavier workloads during the contest.

Andrew Wiggins • SF • Heat

Andrew Wiggins Available on Wednesday

Miami Heat forward Andrew Wiggins (toe) is available for Wednesday's game against the Boston Celtics. The 31-year-old previously carried a questionable tag due to a toe issue but has since been cleared and will suit up for his sixth consecutive contest. Wiggins has performed well against Boston this season, averaging 21.0 points, 7.0 rebounds, 2.0 assists and 1.0 steals while shooting 57.7 percent from the field and 61.5 percent from beyond the arc in two appearances, making him a strong fantasy option in this matchup.

Jock Landale Available Against Magic

Atlanta Hawks center Jock Landale is available to play on Wednesday against the Orlando Magic. Landale sheds a questionable tag and is set to suit up after sitting out Monday's game against the Celtics due to an illness. With the 30-year-old big man back in action, Mouhamed Gueye could fall out of the rotation during tonight's contest in Orlando.

Franz Wagner Cleared to Suit Up on Wednesday

According to Brett Siegel of ClutchPoints.com, Orlando Magic forward Franz Wagner (ankle) is available for Wednesday's matchup with the Atlanta Hawks. Wagner has appeared in just four contests since December 7 due to a left high-ankle sprain. However, he's been cleared to return this evening after missing 22 games. The 24-year-old is averaging 21.3 points, 5.8 rebounds, 3.6 assists and 1.1 steals in 31.8 minutes across 28 appearances this season. Wagner will likely play under a minutes restriction initially, but he remains a strong fantasy option with the potential to quickly regain his usual role.

Joel Embiid Sidelined Wednesday

Philadelphia 76ers center Joel Embiid (illness) won't suit up against the Washington Wizards on Wednesday due to an illness. Embiid played through the illness on Monday against Miami, collecting 26 points, seven rebounds, three assists and one block across 34 minutes. However, he posted on X that the organization was shutting him down for tonight's game. Adem Bona and Andre Drummond will see expanded roles with Embiid back out of action.

Cameron Johnson • PF • Nuggets

Cameron Johnson Available Against Jazz

Denver Nuggets forward Cameron Johnson (back) isn't on the injury report ahead of Wednesday's encounter with the Utah Jazz. Back spasms prevented Johnson from finishing Sunday's game against Golden State, but he won't have to miss additional time due to the issue. However, Spencer Jones (hamstring) and Zeke Nnaji (hip), who both also exited early on Sunday, won't be available against Utah. Considering those absences, Johnson could see increased minutes on Wednesday in a highly favorable fantasy matchup.

Aaron Gordon • PF • Nuggets

Aaron Gordon Likely to Play Wednesday Night

Denver Nuggets forward/center Aaron Gordon (calf) is probable for Wednesday's meeting with the Utah Jazz. After he missed Sunday's win over Golden State due to left calf tightness, Gordon was a full participant in Tuesday's practice. Peyton Watson was part of the starting unit against the Warriors and is likely heading back to the bench on Wednesday night. Still, Watson will maintain an important role and hinted on Tuesday that he might see more playing time against Utah after being recently limited to around 20 minutes per game.

Malik Monk Suiting Up Wednesday

Sacramento Kings guard Malik Monk (shoulder) is not listed on the injury report for Wednesday's contest against the Toronto Raptors. A shoulder issue kept Monk sidelined on Sunday when the Kings faced Brooklyn. Monk had a pair of 30-point efforts last month, but he has recently acted more as a playmaker. The 28-year-old has averaged 7.4 assists across his last three appearances, adding 13.2 points in 27.0 minutes per game. On Wednesday, Monk will eat into the minutes of Daeqwon Plowden, DaQuan Jeffries, and Killian Hayes.

DeMar DeRozan • SF • Kings

DeMar DeRozan Cleared to Face Raptors

Sacramento Kings guard/forward DeMar DeRozan (hamstring) will play on Wednesday night against the Toronto Raptors. The veteran sat out Sunday's loss to Brooklyn due to a hamstring injury, but the team has removed him from the injury report ahead of Wednesday's action. It's a special matchup for DeRozan against the team he represented for nine years at the start of his career. Due to injuries, the Kings have very little quality left on the roster, so DeRozan should have free rein on offense. He has averaged 27.5 points, 5.0 rebounds, and 7.0 assists over his last two outings.
