Coulibaly (heel) will play Wednesday against the 76ers.

Coulibaly is set to return from a one-game absence. The second-year forward is averaging 14.0 points, 4.4 rebounds, 2.5 assists, 1.3 steals and 1.0 three-pointers in 25.0 minutes over his last five contests.

Sarr (toe) is out for Wednesday's game against the 76ers.

With Sarr out for a third straight contest, the Wizards will likely lean more on Tristan Vukcevic and Anthony Gill to fill minutes at center.

Brooks finished with nine points (4-13 FG, 1-3 3Pt) and five rebounds across 22 minutes during Tuesday's 115-111 loss to the Magic.

Playing in his first game since Feb. 21 due to a fractured left hand, Brooks showed some obvious rust and had his minutes monitored by design. He was averaging 20.9 points, 3.7 rebounds, 1.8 assists and 1.0 steals prior to the injury, so fantasy managers will be looking for him to find his footing shortly.

Harper (ankle) is available for Wednesday against Miami.

Harper will shake off a questionable tag for this contest. With the Celtics mostly healthy, Harper is likely to be an emergency depth option.

Giddey (hamstring) is questionable for Wednesday's game against Indiana.

Giddey has some left hamstring tightness and was a late addition to the injury report, and that's an ominous sign in fantasy hoops. If Giddey is unable to play, the Bulls are likely to lean more on Rob Dillingham and Collin Sexton.

Embiid (illness) is out for Wednesday's game against the Wizards, Noah Levick of NBC Sports Philadelphia reports.

Embiid wasn't previously on the injury report, so this is an unfortunate development for his fantasy managers. He was dealing with an illness back on Monday against Miami, yet he posted 26 points (10-25 FG, 2-6 3Pt, 4-5 FT), seven rebounds, three assists and one block in 34 minutes. Embiid himself posted on social media that he's going to play, but several beat reporters have shut down that notion. Adem Bona and Andre Drummond will likely pick up some minutes with Embiid on the shelf.

LaRavia ended with 14 points (5-5 FG, 2-2 3Pt, 2-2 FT), seven rebounds and one steal across 38 minutes during Tuesday's 127-113 win over Cleveland.

Making his fifth straight start in place of Marcus Smart (ankle), LaRavia scored in double digits for the first time since Feb. 28. During his latest stint in the starting five, the fourth-year wing is averaging 6.2 points, 3.6 boards, 1.8 steals and 0.8 assists in 28.4 minutes while shooting an improbable 76.5 percent from the floor, and it's not clear how much more time Smart might miss as the Lakers fight to hang onto the No. 3 seed in the Western Conference.

Ayton had 18 points (8-13 FG, 2-3 FT), nine rebounds, one assist, one block and one steal in 28 minutes during Tuesday's 127-113 win over the Cavaliers.

It was Ayton's best scoring effort since March 12 as he moves past a back issue that sidelined him last Wednesday and limited him to 22 minutes in each of his prior two games. The 27-year-old center's production was inconsistent in March, even when healthy, as he averaged 11.1 points, 7.8 boards, 1.1 blocks and 0.9 assists in 25.5 minutes over 15 appearances, but he did shoot 73.3 percent from the floor.

Reaves provided 19 points (6-16 FG, 2-9 3Pt, 5-5 FT), six rebounds, four assists, one block and two steals in 37 minutes during Tuesday's 127-113 victory over Cleveland.

The fifth-year guard delivered another solid performance as he put the finishing touches on a productive March. Over the last 13 games, Reaves averaged 23.4 points, 6.1 assists, 4.7 boards, 2.2 threes and 1.3 steals, supplanting LeBron James as the second option in the Lakers' offense behind Luka Doncic.

Bryant finished with 14 points (5-7 FG, 3-4 3Pt, 1-2 FT), six rebounds and one block over 25 minutes off the bench during Tuesday's 127-113 loss to the Lakers.

It was the first time since March 13 that Bryant had played 20 or more minutes, as the Cavaliers emptied their bench with the Lakers up 110-83 heading into the fourth quarter. The 28-year-old journeyman responded with his best scoring effort since Dec. 23 while tying his season high in made three-pointers. Bryant has had a steady role in the Cavaliers' frontcourt since the All-Star break, and over the last 17 games, he's averaging 15.6 minutes while contributing 8.4 points, 4.4 boards, 1.0 threes and 1.0 combined blocks and steals.
