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.

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.

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.

Allen chipped in 19 points (8-13 FG, 0-1 3Pt, 3-6 FT), 12 rebounds, four assists and two steals in 34 minutes during Tuesday's 120-116 win over the Pacers.

Allen returned Tuesday from a one-game absence due to an illness, and the veteran center was productive in his return. He has recorded three double-doubles over his last four outings, and over that span he has averaged 17.5 points, 11.3 rebounds, 2.5 assists and 1.3 steals over 29.8 minutes per game.

Okongwu (illness) has been downgraded to questionable for Wednesday's game against the Pelicans.

Okongwu was a very late addition to the injury report, presumably after waking up under the weather. If the center is unable to suit up, the Hawks will likely lean more on Kristaps Porzingis and Mouhamed Gueye.

Carter provided two points (1-6 FG, 0-3 3Pt), seven rebounds and three assists in 20 minutes during Tuesday's 120-112 loss to the Wizards.

Carter and the rest of Orlando's starters did not play in the fourth quarter, as head coach Jamahl Mosley stuck with the bench unit, which nearly erased a 26-point deficit with a valiant comeback attempt. The 26-year-old big man chipped in a season low two points, and his 20 minutes marked his lowest in a game since Oct. 29.

Ayton finished Tuesday's 111-103 victory over the Pelicans with 18 points (9-16 FG), 11 rebounds, three assists, two blocks and one steal across 32 minutes.

Ayton has been a hit-or-miss fantasy asset lately, and it's been widely reported that he wants to be more involved in the offense. If Tuesday was any indication, coach JJ Redick is doing exactly that -- Ayton had 16 shot attempts in the win.

Hayes ended Tuesday's 111-103 victory over the Pelicans with two points (1-2 FG, 0-1 FT), three rebounds, one block and one steal over 16 minutes.

Deandre Ayton had a solid night for the Lakers, while Jarred Vanderbilt was a major bright spot off the bench in 29 minutes. Hayes remains off the fantasy radar in most formats, as he's averaging 18.0 minutes over his last four appearances with 7.0 points, 3.3 rebounds and 1.0 steals.

Gobert recorded 13 points (5-6 FG, 3-3 FT), 17 rebounds, one assist and two blocks in 33 minutes during Tuesday's 122-94 victory over the Heat.

Gobert recorded his 16th double-double of the season and finished one rebound shy of his season-best mark (18). Gobert is trending up for the Timberwolves, posting third-round value in nine-category formats over his last seven games with 10.6 points, 11.9 rebounds, 0.9 assists and 2.4 blocks in 31.1 minutes per contest.

Davis ended Tuesday's 100-98 win over Sacramento with 19 points (7-23 FG, 0-1 3Pt, 5-7 FT), 16 rebounds, two assists and two blocks across 36 minutes.

Davis compiled his second-highest rebound total of the season in the narrow win. He has hit the double-double milestone 12 times this season, and while he's struggled to stay on the court, he seems to be back on track after a thigh injury caused a two-game absence.
