Quinten Post C | GS
Warriors' Quinten Post: Good to go
Post (foot) is available for Wednesday's game against Boston.
Post missed Monday's contest, but he'll be back in action for Wednesday's contest. With Al Horford (calf) sidelined, Post will look to mix in behind Draymond Green and Kristaps Porzingis in the frontcourt.

Gary Payton II PG | GS
Warriors' Gary Payton: Upgraded to available
Payton (lower leg) is available for Wednesday's game against the Celtics.
As expected, the swingman is shedding a probable designation with a left tibial contusion. Payton is handling a significant role recently, averaging 13.6 points, 5.6 rebounds, 2.3 assists and 1.9 steals in 23.0 minutes per tilt over his last eight appearances.

Moses Moody SG | GS
Warriors' Moses Moody: No timetable for return
Moody (wrist) hasn't progressed as well as the Warriors had hoped, and he remains without a timetable for return, Nick Friedell of The Athletic reports.
Moody hasn't played in a game since March 2 due to a sprained right wrist, and according to head coach Steve Kerr, Moody is behind schedule in his recovery. Per Danny Emerman of SFStandard.com, there had been optimism that Moody would return during the Warriors' road trip that ends March 23, but he is still wearing a brace on his right hand. He can be considered week-to-week until another update is provided.

Leaky Black SF | WAS
Wizards' Leaky Black: Out again Thursday
Black (ankle) will remain on the inactive list for Thursday's game versus the Pistons.
This will be Black's fourth consecutive game on the inactive list, and it's not a great sign that he continues to be ruled out a day in advance of tipoff. He should be considered highly questionable for Saturday's game against the Thunder.

Andrew Wiggins SF | MIA
Heat's Andrew Wiggins: Another absence coming
Wiggins (toe) is out for Thursday's game against the Lakers.
A seventh consecutive absence is coming for Wiggins, who doesn't appear to have a clear timeline for a return from a left toe injury. His next chance to play comes Saturday, when the Heat face the Rockets in Houston. Until Wiggins is cleared for action, Pelle Larsson should remain a worthwhile streaming option in most fantasy leagues.

Moussa Diabate PF | CHA
Hornets' Moussa Diabate: Cleared to play Thursday
Diabate (hand) isn't listed on the Hornets' injury report for Thursday's game against Orlando.
Diabate appeared to sustain a left hand injury late in Tuesday's win over Miami, but the issue won't prevent him from facing the Magic. He's averaging 7.4 points, 9.2 rebounds, 3.3 assists, 1.2 steals and 1.1 blocks across 29.2 minutes over his last 11 appearances.

Tidjane Salaun PF | CHA
Hornets' Tidjane Salaun: Ruled out for Thursday
Salaun (calf) has been ruled out for Thursday's game against the Magic.
Salaun will miss an eighth consecutive contest Thursday due to a left calf strain and is without a timetable for a return. He should be considered doubtful for Saturday's game against Memphis until Charlotte offers an update on his status.
-
Bam Adebayo PF | MIA
Heat's Bam Adebayo: Probable for Thursday
Adebayo (calf) is listed as probable for Thursday's game against the Lakers.
Adebayo was held out of Tuesday's blowout loss to the Hornets due to right calf tightness but is likely to suit up Thursday. The star big man has posted at least 20 points in nine straight games, averaging 29.9 points, 9.6 rebounds, 2.9 assists, 2.0 steals and 0.9 blocks in 35.4 minutes per contest during that span.

Bilal Coulibaly SF | WAS
Wizards' Bilal Coulibaly: Tabbed questionable for Thursday
Coulibaly (heel) is listed as questionable for Thursday's game against Detroit.
Coulibaly missed the tail end of the Wizards' back-to-back set Tuesday, and he's at risk of missing Thursday's contest due to the same right heel issue. The third-year forward's absence Tuesday allowed for Justin Champagnie to step into the starting lineup.
