  • Joel Embiid C | PHI

    76ers' Joel Embiid: Will play Wednesday

    Embiid (knee) will play Wednesday versus the Wizards.

    Embiid will suit up for his fifth consecutive game Wednesday evening, and he'll look to build off the 32-point, 10-rebound double-double he had his last time out. Embiid has logged 35-plus minutes in three of his past four outings, and he's scored north of 30 points in two of those contests.

  • Nets' Nic Claxton: Will have minutes restriction

    Claxton will have his minutes monitored for Wednesday's game versus the Magic, Brian Lewis of the New York Post reports.

    Head coach Jordi Fernandez said that while he'll be watching Claxton's workload in his return from a two-game absence Wednesday, he doesn't anticipate Claxton having any restrictions for Friday's game against the Clippers. Even with a minutes restriction, Claxton is a must-play option in standard fantasy leagues.

  • Hawks' Onyeka Okongwu: Won't play Wednesday

    Okongwu (illness) has been ruled out for Wednesday's game versus the Pelicans, Brad Rowland of the Locked On Podcast Network reports.

    An illness will take Okongwu out for Wednesday's game, which will open up some minutes for Mouhamed Gueye. Okongwu's next chance to play will come Friday in Denver.

  • Kings' Maxime Raynaud: Nets 14 points on seven shots

    Raynaud accumulated 14 points (6-7 FG, 2-2 FT), nine rebounds, one assist and one steal over 35 minutes before fouling out of Tuesday's 100-98 loss to the Mavericks.

    With just one missed field-goal attempt on the evening, Raynaud finished with a pristine true shooting percentage of 88.8. He's been playing well as a starter in Sacramento, posting averages of 13.3 points, 9.0 rebounds and 1.3 assists per contest, and he should continue to see quality minutes as long as Domantas Sabonis (knee) is sidelined.

  • Wizards' Marvin Bagley: Scores 12 off bench

    Bagley closed with 12 points (2-6 FG, 8-8 FT), three rebounds, one block and two steals in 17 minutes during Tuesday's 120-112 win over the Magic.

    Bagley had an effective shift off the bench, but it's not a surprise to see him log just 17 minutes. Alex Sarr had the hot hand Tuesday with 23 points. As long as Sarr is active, Bagley's fantasy appeal will likely be limited to deeper formats.

  • Mavericks' Daniel Gafford: Double-doubles in win

    Gafford provided 10 points (5-8 FG), 13 rebounds, one block and one steal across 22 minutes during Tuesday's 100-98 win over the Kings.

    This was Gafford's third double-double of the season, and his second over the past four games. He's been playing well over that four-game stretch, posting averages of 11.0 points, 9.0 rebounds, 1.0 steals and 1.5 blocks per contest.

  • Jay Huff C | IND

    Pacers' Jay Huff: Drops 20 points in start

    Huff finished Tuesday's 120-116 loss to Cleveland with 20 points (7-10 FG, 4-7 3Pt, 2-2 FT), two rebounds, two assists and one block across 31 minutes.

    Huff ceded his spot in the starting lineup to Micah Potter in the two games prior to Tuesday's contest, but the two big men swapped spots against Cleveland. Huff made the most of the change, tying a season high in points while finishing as the Pacers' second-leading scorer behind Pascal Siakam (22 points). Huff also tied a season high with four triples, and he'll look to carry that momentum into Thursday's game against a Hornets team that will be without Ryan Kalkbrenner (elbow).

  • Santi Aldama C | MEM

    Grizzlies' Santi Aldama: Iffy for Wednesday

    Aldama is questionable for Wednesday's game against the Suns with right ankle soreness.

    This is a new injury for Aldama, and he must have tweaked his ankle Tuesday against the Spurs. During that game, Aldama finished with 10 points (3-10 FG, 1-6 3Pt, 3-3 FT), nine rebounds, two assists and two blocks in 24 minutes. If Aldama is unable to play, the Grizzlies may need to lean on some smaller lineups.

  • Spurs' Victor Wembanyama: Questionable for Wednesday

    Wembanyama is questionable for Wednesday's game against the Lakers with a left knee bone bruise.

    Wembanyama recorded 30 points (10-20 FG, 3-6 3Pt, 7-8 FT), five rebounds, three assists, one block and one steal over 21 minutes during the Spurs' 106-105 loss to the Grizzlies on Tuesday, successfully returning from a two-game absence. The Spurs may tread carefully for the second leg of this back-to-back set, and it sounds like Wembanyama will be a game-time call.

  • Joel Embiid C | PHI

    76ers' Joel Embiid: Upgraded to probable

    Embiid (knee) has been upgraded to probable ahead of Wednesday's game versus the Wizards.

    Embiid was initially listed as questionable on the injury report, but with the upgrade to the probable tag, it appears he'll power through the knee issue. Check back for official confirmation on his status closer to tipoff.
