Eubanks will start at center in Wednesday's game against the Nuggets.

With Jusuf Nurkic (ankle) sidelined, Eubanks will be the next man up at center. The big man has averaged 4.3 points, 5.5 rebounds and 1.0 assists across 21.5 minutes in four starts this season.

Nuriic (ankle) has been ruled out for Wednesday's game against the Nuggets.

Nurkic will miss his first game since Feb. 23 due to a right ankle sprain. In his absence, some combination of Drew Eubanks, Bol Bol and Ish Wainright are candidates to absorb his minutes.

Jokic (back/hip) is available for Wednesday's game versus the Suns.

Jokic has been upgraded from probable to available Wednesday despite dealing with lower back pain and left hip inflammation. The superstar big man is posting 58.7/40.7/86.4 shooting splits across his 11 appearances so far in March.

Collins is not in the starting lineup to face the Jazz on Wednesday.

No real surprises here, as Collins will return to the bench with Victor Wembanyama (ankle) returning to the first unit. Collins is averaging 8.4 points, 4.8 rebounds, 2.2 assists and 0.7 blocks per game off the bench this season.

Holmes has been ruled ruled out for the remainder of Wednesday's game versus the Nets due to a left toe contusion.

Holmes will end Wednesday's contest with zero points (0-1 FG) and three rebounds in 12 minutes. Marvin Bagley will likely receive increased playing time for the rest of the game as the Wizards' primary option at center. Holmes' next chance to suit up will come Friday versus the Pistons.

Wembanyama (ankle) is good to go for Wednesday's game against the Jazz, Sarah Todd of The Deseret News reports.

Wembanyama is set to return after a one-game stint on the sidelines, so he should see his usual minutes and is safe to activate in all leagues. His return will likely correspond with Zach Collins heading back to the second unit.

Wiseman isn't in the starting five for Wednesday's game versus the Timberwolves.

Jalen Duren will replace Wiseman in the starting five Wednesday after missing time with a back injury. Wiseman is averaging 7.2 points, 7.4 rebounds, 1.4 assists and 1.0 blocks in 18.2 minutes across his last five appearances coming off the bench.

Hayes will move into the starting lineup for Wednesday's game against the Grizzlies with Anthony Davis (knee) unavailable, Mike Trudell of Spectrum SportsNet reports.

Hayes was limited by foul trouble in his previous start this season and finished with just five points, five rebounds, two assists, one steal and one turnover to his credit over 20 minutes. However, he'll draw an extremely favorable matchup against a Memphis team featuring a bevy of players on two-way contracts and 10-day deals, so he could still be worth a dice roll in fantasy hoops.

Gobert (ribs) is available for Wednesday's game versus the Pistons.

Gobert has been upgraded from questionable to available Wednesday despite dealing with a sprained left rib. The defensive stalwart is averaging 11.8 points, 13.6 rebounds, 2.0 blocks, 1.6 assists and 1.0 steals in 36.8 minutes across his last five appearances.

Landale is not in the starting lineup to face the Thunder on Wednesday.

Landale was in the starting lineup Monday against the Trail Blazers, posting 17 points (6-6 FG, 2-2 3Pt, 3-3 FT), nine rebounds, two assists and one block across 32 minutes. However, the veteran big man will move back to his regular bench role with Jabari Smith returning from a one-game suspension.
