Evan Mobley Out On Wednesday

Cleveland Cavaliers forward/center Evan Mobley (calf) has been ruled out for Wednesday's game against Houston. He is forced to miss a third straight game due to a right calf strain. Caris LeVert (wrist) and Max Strus have shared starts during Mobley's absence. LeVert has also picked up an injury and is questionable for Wednesday's game. This means Strus will likely remain among the starters, though he recorded only nine points, two rebounds, and two assists on Monday versus Phoenix. An ankle injury has limited Strus to 14 appearances this season, and he has been far from his best, averaging 7.6 points while shooting 39.8 percent from the field.

Khris Middleton  • SF  •  Bucks

Khris Middleton Listed As Probable For Wednesday

Milwaukee Bucks small forward Khris Middleton (ankle) is probable for Wednesday's matchup against New Orleans. He has sat out a couple of games this month but is expected to play on Wednesday. However, Milwaukee also has a game scheduled for Thursday against Miami, and Middleton could take the night off then. Middleton has provided steady but unspectacular production in 2024-25, averaging 12.6 points, 3.9 rebounds, and 5.1 assists. Strangely, he is shooting an excellent 53 percent from the field this month but has struggled from downtown, sinking only 25 percent of his attempts.

Giannis Antetokounmpo Probable For Wednesday

Milwaukee Bucks forward/center Giannis Antetokounmpo (knee) has once again picked up a probable tag on the injury report ahead of Wednesday's action against New Orleans. His name has become synonymous with the Bucks' report, but the eight-time All-Star has played in 11 consecutive games. There is no reason to believe he won't be in the lineup against the Pelicans. Antetokounmpo's scoring output has dipped a bit this month, but he still fills the box score night in, night out. In the last game against Philadelphia, Giannis Antetokounmpo dominated with 34 points, 15 rebounds, and six assists.

Bradley Beal  • SG  •  Suns

Bradley Beal Questionable Wednesday

Phoenix Suns guard Bradley Beal (ankle) is questionable for Wednesday's clash against Brooklyn. The veteran star recently missed a pair of games with an ankle sprain and remains on the injury report because of the issue. However, Beal got through 25 minutes of action on Monday versus Cleveland, signaling he can play through the injury. Beal has struggled lately and settled for only five points on Monday. Grayson Allen and Royce O'Neale should cover most of Beal's minutes off the bench if he needs to skip another game due to his ankle.

Anthony Davis Will Play Against Washington

Los Angeles Lakers center Anthony Davis (calf) will play on Tuesday versus Washington. AD battled a foot injury throughout most of the 2024-25 campaign. However, he's recently appeared on the injury report because of calf soreness. Fortunately, it won't be enough to keep Davis off the floor for the favorable matchup against the Wizards, and he could be more productive than normal against arguably the worst team in the National Basketball Association.

LeBron James  • SF  •  Lakers

LeBron James Available Versus The Wizards

Los Angeles Lakers forward LeBron James (foot, injury management) is good to go heading into Tuesday's game versus the Wizards. The multi-time All-Star has appeared on the injury report often throughout the 2024-25 campaign. However, he's only missed three games. With a favorable matchup versus the Wizards on tap, James could be in line for an above-average fantasy performance. But there's also a chance he spends more time on the bench if the Lakers build up a decisive lead. Either way, James remains a must-start, although that's not news to anyone.

Andre Drummond  • C  •  76ers

Andre Drummond Available On Tuesday, Will Start

Philadelphia 76ers center Andre Drummond (toe) has been cleared to play in Tuesday's game against the Nuggets. The 31-year-old was limited to just one appearance in Philadelphia's previous eight contests because of a toe injury. Fortunately, he'll be back on the floor versus Nikola Jokic and company. Drummond has been decent in his 15 starts during the 2024-25 campaign, averaging 8.1 points, 9.7 rebounds, and 1.6 steals, giving him streaming value for fantasy managers. With Guerschon Yabusele (knee) also in the equation, it will likely result in little-to-no work for Adem Bona, who had 10 points, six boards, one steal, and one block as a starter in Sunday's loss to Milwaukee.

Paul George  • SF  •  76ers

Paul George Cleared To Play Versus Denver

Philadelphia 76ers forward Paul George (groin) is good to go for Tuesday's game versus Denver. The 34-year-old has spent plenty of time on the injury report this season. However, he's missed the last two games because of a groin injury. But now that George has been cleared, fantasy managers can get him back in their starting lineups. Unfortunately, George's return will likely result in Ricky Council IV heading back to the bench, significantly decreasing his fantasy value.

Dereck Lively II Has A Chance To Return Against Minnesota

Dallas Mavericks center Dereck Lively II (ankle) is questionable heading into Wednesday's game against Minnesota. The 20-year-old sprained his ankle in the meeting with the Denver Nuggets on January 14. As a result, he wasn't available for the Mavericks' previous three contests. Daniel Gafford has been starting in Lively's place, most recently amassing 31 points, 15 rebounds, and seven blocks in Monday's loss to the Charlotte Hornets, giving him added credibility for fantasy managers.

Naji Marshall  • SF  •  Mavericks

Naji Marshall Questionable Versus Minnesota

Dallas Mavericks forward Naji Marshall (illness) is questionable for Wednesday's game versus Minnesota. The former Pelican has had the best year of his career. Unfortunately, he's not feeling well, jeopardizing his availability for Wednesday's contest. Luka Doncic (calf), Dwight Powell (hip), and Jaden Hardy (ankle) are already ruled out. But with Klay Thompson (ankle), Dereck Lively II (ankle), and Quentin Grimes (back) also uncertain to suit up against the Timberwolves, Marshall could find himself on the floor to begin the game. The 26-year-old has played well enough in his 14 starts during the 2024-25 campaign, averaging 11.7 points, 3.9 rebounds, and 2.4 assists. But he might be more productive depending on who is available.

Jalen Johnson  • PF  •  Hawks

Jalen Johnson On The Injury Report Again For Wednesday

Atlanta Hawks forward Jalen Johnson (shoulder) is questionable for Wednesday's game versus the visiting Pistons. He missed five games because of right shoulder inflammation. However, the 23-year-old has appeared in Atlanta's previous two contests, amassing a double-double in both. Atlanta will play the Raptors on Thursday, so head coach Quin Snyder may hold him out for precautionary reasons. If that's the case, there's several directions Snyder could go as far as the starting unit is concerned. But it's logical to assume De'Andre Hunter, Vit Krejci, and Dyson Daniels could benefit, although Trae Young would remain the favorite to lead the team in scoring.

Klay Thompson  • SG  •  Mavericks

Klay Thompson Might Not Play On Wednesday

Dallas Mavericks forward Klay Thompson (ankle) is questionable for Wednesday's matchup with the Minnesota Timberwolves. The former Warrior hasn't had a productive year, averaging 13.6 points, the second-lowest mark of his career, 3.4 rebounds, and 2.0 assists. However, he's at least remained relatively healthy, missing only five games throughout the 2024-25 campaign. But the Mavs are in trouble as far as depth is concerned, considering Luka Doncic (calf) and Jaden Hardy (ankle) will remain sidelined, with Dereck Lively II (ankle), Naji Marshall (illness), and Quentin Grimes (back) carrying questionable designations. As of now, Spencer Dinwiddie and Kyrie Irving appear to be on tap for a productive evening on Wednesday. But others should also benefit, depending on who is cleared to suit up.

Trae Young  • PG  •  Hawks

Trae Young Listed As Probable For Wednesday

Atlanta Hawks guard Trae Young (Achilles) is listed as probable ahead of Wednesday's game against the Detroit Pistons. Young has been tagged on the injury report for quite some time due to this Achilles issue. However, Young has only missed one game this month, so the chances of him sitting out on Wednesday are low. Fantasy managers should check back ahead of tip-off on Wednesday just in case something changes. Vit Krejci would likely see more playing time if Young is unable to play. He's well worth a look as a streaming choice, especially with increased playing time.

Norman Powell  • SG  •  Clippers

Norman Powell Tagged As Questionable For Wednesday

Los Angeles Clippers guard Norman Powell (back) is listed as questionable ahead of Wednesday's game against the Boston Celtics. It's worth noting that Powell was also questionable for Monday's contest, but ended up playing against the Chicago Bulls. He looked fine on the court as he finished with 27 points across 38 minutes of action in the loss. The Clippers are dealing with a handful of injuries, so it's uncertain who would benefit the most from the loss of Powell. Right now, Kris Dunn (knee), Terance Mann, and Kevin Porter Jr. all stand to gain value if Powell is unable to go.

James Harden  • SG  •  Clippers

James Harden Could Miss Wednesday's Game

Los Angeles Clippers guard James Harden (groin) is listed as questionable ahead of Wednesday's game against the Boston Celtics. Harden was uncertain to play on Monday, but he suited up and played 35 minutes in the loss to the Chicago Bulls. He struggled as he only knocked down five shots from the floor, so possibly the groin injury was impacting his performance. The Clippers would likely use a committee approach to fill the void if Harden was unable to play. Out of everyone, Kevin Porter Jr. would likely gain the most streaming value if Harden is unavailable for Wednesday's contest.

Jonathan Isaac  • PF  •  Magic

Jonathan Isaac Won't Return On Tuesday

Orlando Magic forward Jonathan Isaac (illness) has been ruled out for the rest of Tuesday's game against the Toronto Raptors. Isaac was questionable coming into this game due to an illness, but he ultimately decided to suit up. He only managed to play about five minutes before exiting the contest due to this illness. The Magic have ruled him out for the rest of the night, which is a bummer for anyone who started him in fantasy leagues. Trevelin Queen and Wendell Carter Jr. figure to see an increased roles for the rest of the game and possibly longer if Isaac misses more time.

Ivica Zubac  • C  •  Clippers

Ivica Zubac Remains Out On Wednesday

Los Angeles Clippers center Ivica Zubac (eye) has been ruled out ahead of Wednesday's game against the Boston Celtics. The big man will miss his second game in a row due to a left eye issue. This is the front end of a back-to-back set, so hopefully Zubac can return for Thursday's game. For now, Mo Bamba figures to move into the starting five, but he only played 15 minutes during their last game. He finished with 10 points and seven rebounds, so Bamba is still worth a look as a streaming choice. Also, Nicolas Batum should see an increase in minutes with Zubac and Kawhi Leonard (rest) sitting out on Wednesday.

Kawhi Leonard  • SF  •  Clippers

Kawhi Leonard Resting On Wednesday

Los Angeles Clippers forward Kawhi Leonard (rest) has been ruled out ahead of Wednesday's game against the Boston Celtics. The superstar forward will now miss his second game in a row due to right knee injury management. It's worth noting that Wednesday is the front end of a back-to-back set, so Leonard will hopefully be back in action against the Washington Wizards on Thursday. The absence of Leonard should mean more minutes for Kris Dunn, Amir Coffey, and Nicolas Batum for Wednesday's contest. None of them have great streaming appeal, but Coffey might be the best choice out of the bunch right now. The 27-year-old is averaging 10.3 points and 2.6 rebounds in 25 minutes per game. Coffey has been playing more minutes recently, but that could go down once Leonard is back in the picture.

D'Angelo Russell Available Versus Knicks

Brooklyn Nets point guard D'Angelo Russell (hamstring) will suit up against the Knicks on Tuesday. He has received a couple of upgrades throughout the day and will be available for a third consecutive game. A shin injury dealt an early blow to Russell's second stint in Brooklyn, but he has played well with the team. Russell has averaged 13.2 points, 8.0 assists, and 1.7 steals in 23.2 minutes across six games since returning to Brooklyn.

Josh Hart Cleared For Action Tuesday

New York Knicks guard/forward Josh Hart (neck) will play against Brooklyn on Tuesday. The feisty veteran was banged up last week in a game against Minnesota but logged 37 minutes in Monday's 119-110 win over Atlanta and is good to go again on Tuesday after initially receiving a probable tag ahead of the game. Hart has become a double-double machine for the Knicks and has notched three triple-doubles in his last 12 appearances.
