Reath (knee) will play in Wednesday's game against Utah.

Reath will return from a two-game absence due to a right knee injury. His availability could mean fewer opportunities for Jabari Walker. Reath averages 4.3 points and 2.0 rebounds across 10.3 minutes per game this season.

Nurkic is in the Hornets' starting lineup against the Raptors on Wednesday, Blake Murphy of Sportsnet.ca reports.

Nurkic was a healthy DNP in Tuesday's loss to the Grizzlies, but he'll make his eighth start with the Hornets on Wednesday due to the absence of Mark Williams (foot). Nurkic has averaged 7.9 points, 5.7 rebounds and 1.8 assists over 16.8 minutes per game since the beginning of March.

Robinson is in the Raptors' starting lineup against the Hornets on Wednesday, Esfandiar Baraheni of The Athletic reports.

Robinson will make his eighth start of the season (and sixth since the beginning of March) due to the absence of Jakob Poeltl (hand). Robinson has averaged 10.3 points, 6.5 rebounds and 2.1 assists in 21.8 minutes per game over his last 10 outings.

Kornet is in the Celtics' starting lineup against the Magic on Wednesday, Cody Taylor of USA Today reports.

Kornet will make his 15th start of the season (and eighth since the beginning of March) due to Al Horford (knee) and Kristaps Porzingis (rest) both being ruled out for Wednesday's contest. Kornet has averaged 11.2 points, 8.6 rebounds and 2.0 assists over 22.4 minutes per game over his last five outings.

Vucevic (calf) is available for Wednesday's game against Miami, Will Gottlieb of AllCHGO.com reports.

Vucevic didn't play in Tuesday's loss to the Cavaliers while managing a right calf issue, but he'll play in the second leg of the Bulls' back-to-back set Wednesday. The veteran center has averaged 19.2 points, 9.8 rebounds, 3.9 assists and 1.0 blocks in 29.1 minutes per game over his last 10 outings while shooting 55.4 percent from the field and 47.7 percent from three.

Hayes (hand) has been upgraded to available for Wednesday's game against the Mavericks, Ryan Ward of LakersNation.com reports.

Hayes was initially listed as questionable for this contest, but the big man has been upgraded to available and should start at center. Since the All-Star break, he has averaged 8.4 points, 5.8 rebounds, 1.1 assists and 0.9 blocks per game and should handle his regular workload in this matchup.

Poeltl (hand) is out for Wednesday's game against the Hornets, Blake Murphy of Sportsnet.ca reports.

Poeltl has been dealing with a right hand contusion, and given that the Raptors don't have anything to play for in the final days of the regular season, they won't risk the big man. His next chance to play will come against the Mavericks on Friday. In the meantime, Orlando Robinson and Jonathan Mogbo are expected to handle most of the minutes at center.

Davis (groin) is available for Wednesday's game against the Lakers, Tim Reynolds of Associated Press reports.

Davis has played in six of the Mavericks' last eight games while managing a left groin strain, and he's been cleared to play against his old team Wednesday. Since returning from injury, Davis has averaged 19.7 points, 8.5 rebounds, 2.8 assists and 1.5 blocks over 28.5 minutes per game while shooting 43.7 percent from the field (including 19.0 percent from three on 3.5 3PA/G).

Sengun (back) has been ruled out for Wednesday's game against the Clippers, Brett Siegel of ClutchPoints.com reports.

Sengun is one of many notable Rockets players who will be out for Wednesday's game in Los Angeles. The rising star joins Amen Thompson (rest), Fred VanVleet (ankle), Dillon Brooks (rest) and Jabari Smith (groin) on the sideline, which paves the way for Steven Adams to get the start, with Jock Landale and Jeff Green coming off the bench for Houston.

Holmes (shoulder) is out for Wednesday's game against the 76ers.

Holmes will miss a fourth straight game for the 76ers, and it's unclear if the veteran will suit up again for Washington before the end of the regular season. His next chance to feature will come Friday against the Bulls.
