Branden Carlson C | OKC
Thunder's Branden Carlson: Absence streak to continue
Carlson (back) is out for Wednesday's game against the Nets.
Carlson will miss a 10th consecutive contest due to a back strain. The second-year big man appears to have no timetable for a return, but his next chance to play comes Saturday in Washington against the Wizards.

Chet Holmgren PF | OKC
Thunder's Chet Holmgren: Listed as questionable
Holmgren is questionable for Wednesday's game against the Nets with a bruised left hip.
The Thunder could take a cautious approach with the All-Star big man versus an inferior opponent, but they may need Holmgren, as Isaiah Hartenstein (rest) is sitting out the second night of a back-to-back set. Jaylin Williams and Aaron Wiggins could both work their way into the streaming mix in most fantasy leagues Wednesday.

Thunder's Jalen Williams: Another absence coming
Williams (hamstring) is out for Wednesday's game against the Nets.
Williams will be sidelined for a 15th straight game and remains without a timetable to return. His next chance to play comes Saturday against Washington, and he can be considered doubtful for future contests until the Thunder provide an update on his status.

Isaiah Hartenstein C | OKC
Thunder's Isaiah Hartenstein: Sitting out Wednesday
Hartenstein has been ruled out for Wednesday's game against the Nets due to left soleus injury management.
Hartenstein will get a maintenance day for the second leg of a back-to-back set after playing 16 minutes and finishing with zero points, seven rebounds, eight assists and one block in Tuesday's 113-108 win over the Magic. Chet Holmgren (hip) is also listed as questionable, so the Thunder may need to rely heavily on Jaylin Williams if Holmgren joins Hartenstein in street clothes.

T.J. McConnell PG | IND
Pacers' T.J. McConnell: Iffy for Wednesday
McConnell (hamstring) is questionable for Wednesday's game against the Trail Blazers.
After posting a double-double during the front end of this back-to-back set Tuesday, McConnell is one of many candidates for a maintenance day. He's missed only two contests in March so far, but he's played more than 20 minutes only once since mid-January.

Micah Potter PF | IND
Pacers' Micah Potter: Chance to suit up Wednesday
Potter (triceps) is questionable for Wednesday's game against the Trail Blazers.
Potter was sidelined for the first half of this back-to-back set, marking his first missed game since Feb. 3. Ivica Zubac (back) is also questionable, so Jay Huff, Kobe Brown and Jarace Walker could see increased work in Indiana's frontcourt Wednesday night.

Vit Krejci SF | POR
Trail Blazers' Vit Krejci: Ruled out Wednesday
Krejci (calf) is out for Wednesday's game against the Pacers.
Krejci is sidelined for a second consecutive contest with a left calf injury. His absence should vacate more playing time for Scoot Henderson in the backcourt Wednesday.

Terance Mann SG | BKN
Nets' Terance Mann: Good to go
Mann (Achilles) is available for Wednesday's game against the Thunder.
As expected, Mann has been upgraded from probable to available. With Michael Porter (hamstring/ankle) still sidelined, Mann has a path to minutes, but the veteran has appeared in only six of Brooklyn's first nine games in March, averaging 5.8 points, 3.2 rebounds and 2.5 assists in 22.2 minutes on the month.

Michael Porter Jr. SF | BKN
Nets' Michael Porter: Ruled out Wednesday
Porter (ankle, hamstring) is out for Wednesday's game against the Thunder.
Porter is missing a fourth consecutive contest due to ankle and hamstring injuries. The star forward's absence should free up more playing time for Danny Wolf and Ziaire Williams in the frontcourt Wednesday.
