Gobert (rest) is questionable for Wednesday's game against Orlando.

After logging 33 minutes Tuesday against the Pacers for the front end of this back-to-back set, a maintenance day is on the table for Gobert. If he does end up sitting out, Naz Reid and Joan Beringer are likely to see increased minutes in the frontcourt.

Wembanyama (ribs) is out for Wednesday's game against Portland, Jeff McDonald of the San Antonio Express-News reports.

No surprise here, as Wembanyama was previously listed as doubtful. Although he's sitting out Wednesday, the Spurs are hopeful to have him back in the lineup Friday against Dallas. Luke Kornet will have plenty of streaming appeal for Wednesday's matchup.

Reid supplied 17 points (7-10 FG, 3-5 3Pt), two rebounds, one assist and two steals across 24 minutes during Tuesday's 124-104 victory over the Pacers.

Reid has been putting up solid numbers off the bench, and he remains a viable fantasy alternative despite his second-unit role in the Timberwolves' frontcourt. Since returning from a two-game absence due to a sprained right ankle March 22, Reid is averaging 12.4 points, 6.4 rebounds, 1.1 blocks and 1.6 three-pointers made across 26.8 minutes per game. Those numbers aren't close to the prime of his career, but he remains a solid, reliable option to start in most formats.

Queen recorded 17 points (6-9 FG, 5-6 FT), 12 rebounds, seven assists, two blocks and three steals over 37 minutes during Tuesday's 156-137 win over the Jazz.

With Zion Williamson, Saddiq Bey and Herbert Jones all sitting out despite being healthy, Queen entered the starting lineup and nearly put up a triple-double. The Pelicans have nothing on the line in the final two games of the regular season, so Queen may get another extended look or two.

Bassey chipped in 14 points (7-12 FG), 12 rebounds, two blocks and two steals over 27 minutes off the bench during Tuesday's 110-105 win over Sacramento.

The double-double was the first of the season for Bassey, and just the fourth of his career, as he set new season highs in points and boards. The fifth-year center could see a hefty workload over the final three games of the regular season as the Warriors focus on getting Kristaps Porzingis (knee), Al Horford (calf) and Quinten Post (foot) ready for the Play-In Tournament.

Sims accumulated 12 points (6-9 FG), eight rebounds, six assists, one block and one steal across 37 minutes during Tuesday's 96-90 loss to the Nets.

Sims has started in six of the Bucks' last nine games. Even though the results have been underwhelming at times, Sims is a decent low-end fantasy option who can stuff the stat sheet and contribute in points, rebounds and assists. Even if he has failed to score in double digits in five of those nine games, he's still averaging a decent, yet unspectacular, line of 8.1 points, 7.7 rebounds and 2.9 assists per game while shooting 67.4 percent from the floor.

Williams produced 19 points (7-9 FG, 5-6 FT), eight rebounds and three steals across 28 minutes during Tuesday's 119-105 loss to the Rockets.

Williams had a positive result in the defeat. He's averaged a solid 15.0 points, 6.7 rebounds, 1.3 blocks and 1.3 steals since returning from a 15-game absence. The Suns went 8-7 without their starting center, and their chances of playing better than break-even ball increase with a healthy big man under the basket.

Bagley registered 21 points (8-11 FG, 1-1 3Pt, 4-4 FT), nine rebounds, one assist, two blocks and one steal across 26 minutes during Tuesday's 116-103 loss to the Clippers.

Bagley's interior presence was a major factor in erasing the Clippers' massive lead, and he proved to be the most productive interior option in the loss. The Mavericks have some questions to answer in the frontcourt this offseason, but Bagley's recent contributions could ease the decision-making process.

Lopez logged nine points (4-8 FG, 1-3 3Pt, 0-1 FT), 11 rebounds, three assists and four blocks over 25 minutes during Tuesday's 116-103 win over the Mavericks.

Lopez grabbed double-digit rebounds for the first time since Feb. 20 but scored in single digits for a third straight game. Over his last 14 appearances, Lopez has averaged 10.0 points, 5.4 rebounds, 2.1 assists and 2.2 blocks in 27.1 minutes.

Vucevic accumulated two points (1-10 FG, 0-5 3Pt), seven rebounds, two assists and two steals in 23 minutes during Tuesday's 113-102 victory over Charlotte.

Vucevic continues to play a backup role for his new team, failing to produce anything of note since returning from injury. In 14 games as a Celtic, he has averaged 9.2 points, 6.5 rebounds and 1.0 three-pointers in 20.6 minutes per contest. However, although he has been well below his best, managers may want to consider him for streaming purposes, given Neemias Queta appeared to suffer a hand injury during the win. If Queta misses time, Vucevic could very well find himself in the starting lineup.
