Richards will start Wednesday versus the 76ers.

Josh Giddey, Tre Jones, Matas Buzelis and Jalen Smith will join Richards in the first unit for a second straight game. Through five starts this season, Richards has recorded averages of 9.0 points, 7.2 rebounds and 1.2 swats per contest on 47/43/55 shooting splits.

The Pacers list Slawson (two-way) as out for Wednesday's game against the Lakers.

Indiana will have the same 12 players available Wednesday as they did in Monday's 128-126 win over Orlando, so Slawson and the Pacers' other two two-way players (Ethan Thompson and Taelon Peter) will head to the bench. The 16-56 Pacers have little at stake beyond draft positioning as the season winds down, so expect the team to limit or hold out multiple veteran players with minor injuries in their remaining nine games after Wednesday. Slawson will be eligible to play in eight of those contests, and he could be worth a look in fantasy leagues if the Pacers do in fact opt to rest other key rotation options. Through his first five appearances with Indiana, Slawson has averaged 7.6 points, 4.6 rebounds, 3.0 assists, 1.6 steals, 1.6 blocks and 1.2 three-pointers in 25.6 minutes.

Gueye will come off the bench for Wednesday's game against the Pistons.

Gueye made back-to-back starts due to the absence of Jalen Johnson, but with Johnson back in action Wednesday, he'll return to a reserve role. In 61 appearances off the bench this season, Gueye is averaging 3.9 points and 3.3 rebounds across 14.2 minutes.

Edwards is not in the starting lineup for Wednesday's game against the Bulls, Tony Jones of The Athletic reports.

Paul George is back from suspension Wednesday, pushing Edwards to the bench. Wednesday breaks up a string of seven consecutive starts for Edwards, who should still see meaningful playing time in the absence of Kelly Oubre (elbow).

Hayes is in the starting lineup for Wednesday's matchup with the Pacers, Dave McMenamin of ESPN.com reports.

Hayes will get a spot-start with Deandre Ayton (back) unavailable, and it'll be Luka Doncic, Austin Reaves, LeBron James and Jake LaRavia joining Hayes in the first unit for Wednesday's game. Through eight starts this season, Hayes has posted averages of 11.4 points, 4.5 rebounds, 2.0 assists and 1.0 steals per game.

Beauchamp will come off the bench for Wednesday's game against the Bulls, Tony Jones of The Athletic reports.

Beauchamp made his first start since the 2023-24 season Monday, playing 32 minutes and logging 13 points, six rebounds, two assists and two steals. The two-way wing will revert to his bench role now that Quentin Grimes (illness) is healthy and Paul George's suspension is over.

Bona will come off the bench for Wednesday's game against the Bulls, Tony Jones of The Athletic reports.

Joel Embiid (oblique) is back and starting, so Bona will retreat to the second unit. As a reserve this season, Bona owns averages of 4.4 points, 4.2 rebounds and 1.3 blocks per game.

Embiid (oblique) will play in Wednesday's game against the Bulls, Adam Aaronson of PhillyVoice.com reports.

Embiid will return from a 13-game absence due to a strained right oblique. His return will mean fewer opportunities for Adem Bona and Andre Drummond. However, per Aaronson, Nick Nurse said Wednesday that the 76ers likely won't "go overboard" with Embiid's minutes.

Harris (hip) is listed as available for Wenesday's game against the Hawks.

Harris was initially labeled probable, so his availability doesn't come as much of a surprise. The veteran forward had been tending to soreness in his left hip.

The Celtics recalled Williams from the G League's Maine Celtics on Wednesday.

Williams has rejoined Boston ahead of Wednesday's game against the Thunder, but he's unlikely to be featured in the rotation. The rookie second-round pick saw extended run Tuesday in Maine's 130-105 win over the Cleveland Charge, finishing with 13 points (5-9 FG, 1-1 3Pt, 1-4 FT), nine rebounds, four blocks and one assist in 27 minutes.
