  • Myles Turner C | IND

    Pacers' Myles Turner: Available to face Houston

    Turner (calf) is available for Wednesday's game against the Rockets, Ben DuBose of USA Today reports.

    Turner was deemed questionable for this matchup against the Rockets, but he'll suit up and is expected to handle his regular workload at center. Turner is averaging 18.9 points, 7.1 rebounds, 1.6 blocks and 1.3 assists per game since the beginning of November.

  • Yves Missi C | NO

    Pelicans' Yves Missi: Cleared for Wednesday

    Missi (shoulder) will play Wednesday versus Cleveland.

    Missi continues his perfect attendance on the season and is in line to make his 11th consecutive start. The rookie is averaging 5.7 points, 9.3 rebounds, 2.3 assists, 1.3 steals and 0.3 blocks in 27.0 minutes across his last three games.

  • Spurs' Victor Wembanyama: Won't play Thursday

    Wembanyama (knee) is out for Thursday's game against the Jazz.

    Wembanyama will miss a third consecutive contest Tuesday, and it's unclear when he'll be able to return. That said, the injury continues to be labeled as a knee contusion, so it shouldn't keep the star big man sidelined for the long term. Zach Collins should remain in the starting lineup with Wembanyama out, and the Frenchman's next chance to play will come against the Warriors on Saturday.

  • Jazz's Walker Kessler: Will remain out Thursday

    Kessler (hip) has been ruled out for Thursday's game against the Spurs.

    Kessler is slated to miss a sixth straight game due to right hip bursitis. John Collins should continue to start at center. Kessler's next chance to suit up will come Saturday against the Knicks.

  • Hornets' Mark Williams: Remains out

    Williams (foot) has been ruled out for Thursday's game against the Pistons.

    Williams can be considered doubtful until he progresses past individual drills. With Nick Richards (rib) also out, Grant Williams is expected to start at center again.

  • Raptors' Bruno Fernando: Won't play Thursday

    Fernando (ankle) will not play Thursday against Minnesota.

    Fernando will miss his second game in a row. He's been a fringe rotation player for the Raptors, so his absence won't carry many fantasy implications.

  • Magic's Wendell Carter: Will remain out Wednesday

    Carter (foot) has been ruled out for Wednesday's game against the Clippers.

    Carter will miss a ninth straight game but is nearing a return to action after practicing Tuesday. He can be considered questionable for the second half of Orlando's back-to-back set against the Lakers on Thursday. Goga Bitadze and Moritz Wagner should continue to see increased roles in Carter's absence.

  • Thunder's Isaiah Hartenstein: Upgraded to questionable

    Hartenstein (hand) has been upgraded to questionable for Wednesday's game against Portland.

    This is massive news for the Thunder, as Hartenstein was initially given a five-week timetable back on Oct. 17. With Chet Holmgren (hip) sidelined for multiple weeks, Hartenstein could step into a massive role right away for the Thunder, assuming his conditioning is up to par. Once Hartenstein does get the green light, the Thunder won't have to rely on their small-ball lineups as much.

  • Yves Missi C | NO

    Pelicans' Yves Missi: Iffy for Wednesday

    Missi is questionable for Wednesday's game against the Cavaliers due to left shoulder soreness.

    The Pelicans, who are already missing the majority of their regular rotation players for Wednesday, continue to be battered by injuries. Missi was a very late addition to the injury report, and that's a concern for his fantasy managers. If Missi is unable to play, Trey Jemison, Jeremiah Robinson-Earl and Daniel Theis could all be more involved for the Pelicans.

  • Al Horford C | BOS

    Celtics' Al Horford: Pops for season-high 20 on Tuesday

    Horford provided 20 points (7-11 FG, 4-5 3Pt, 2-2 FT), seven rebounds, one assist and three blocks across 32 minutes during Tuesday's 120-117 win over the Cavaliers.

    It was a season high in scoring for the 38-year-old big, and Horford continues to give the Celtics reliable minutes in the frontcourt. He's drained multiple three-pointers in six straight starts, averaging 13.0 points, 6.5 boards, 3.0 threes, 2.0 assists and 1.0 blocks over that stretch while shooting 50.9 percent from the floor and 45.0 percent (18-for-40) from beyond the arc.
