Beringer won't start Wednesday's regular-season opener against the Heat.

Beringer started Friday's preseason finale with Rudy Gobert (rest) receiving a maintenance day, though the veteran big man is back in his usual starting role for the regular-season opener. Beringer figures to operate as Gobert's primary backup to begin the 2026-27 campaign.

Collins (quadriceps) will be limited to 12-16 minutes in Wednesday's game against the Raptors, Joel Lorenzi of The Athletic reports.

Collins will return to game action after missing the preseason, though he'll be heavily limited. The big man is coming off an injury-plagued 2025-26 season in which he appeared in only 10 regular-season games, averaging 9.7 points, 5.6 rebounds and 1.5 assists in 18.4 minutes per contest.

Collins (quadriceps) is available for Wednesday's game against Toronto.

As expected, Collins will ditch his probable tag for Wednesday's regular-season opener after sitting out the team's entire preseason schedule. The big man figures to operate as Jalen Smith's primary backup until Nic Claxton (hamstring) returns to the lineup.

Goldin (ankle) is available for Wednesday's game against Minnesota.

Goldin will shed his questionable tag and suit up for Miami's regular-season opener. However, the two-way player isn't guaranteed to see the floor.

Diop (knee) has been ruled out for Thursday's game against the 76ers.

Diop will be held out of Thursday's regular-season opener due to left knee injury management. His next chance to play will come Saturday against the Nets.

Allen (knee) is questionable for Thursday's game against the 76ers.

Allen is in danger of missing the Cavaliers' first game of the 2026-27 campaign. If Allen can't suit up, Evan Mobley would presumably slide to the five, with Jaylon Tyson the favorite to move into the starting lineup.

Fall (quadriceps) is out for Thursday's game against Cleveland.

Fall remains sidelined with a left quadriceps strain. Once cleared to make his season debut, the two-way player could see most of his action come with the G League's Delaware Blue Coats.

Porzingis is contemplating his future in basketball as he deals with recurring symptoms from the autoimmune condition termed as postural orthostatic tachycardia syndrome, per Shams Charania of ESPN.

Charania also notes Golden State has started exploring trade routes for Porzingis, who is already considered out indefinitely to begin the 2026-27 season. Fantasy managers shouldn't expect the big man to get back on the floor anytime soon, whether it be for the Warriors or perhaps another team, and it sounds like stepping away from the game is on the table for Porzingis at this point.

Bassey (knee) is out for Wednesday's season opener versus the Lakers.

The big man is battling right patellar tendinopathy and can be deemed day-to-day. Even with Kristaps Porzingis on the mend with an undisclosed health issue, Bassey is unlikely to play a significant role once healthy.

Hartenstein had four points (2-4 FG), three rebounds, three assists, one block and one steal in 17 minutes during Tuesday's 116-104 win over the Spurs.

Hartenstein picked up five personal fouls, preventing him from establishing a rhythm against Victor Wembanyama and the Spurs. The veteran center played fewer minutes than Chet Holmgren and saw rookie Aday Mara contribute seven points in nearly 12 minutes off the bench. Hartenstein's passing and defensive versatility remain valuable, but Tuesday's limited workload resulted in an underwhelming fantasy performance.
