George contributed 39 points (15-22 FG, 6-12 3Pt, 3-4 FT), six assists, five rebounds and three steals across 30 minutes in Wednesday's 153-131 win over the Wizards.

George took advantage of a favorable matchup and scored a game- and season-high 39 points while knocking down at least four triples for a fourth consecutive contest. Additionally, the star forward tied his season high in assists and grabbed at least five rebounds for the third time over his last four games. He has also tallied at least three swipes three times in that four-game stretch, during which he has averaged 28.0 points, 7.0 rebounds, 3.5 assists and 2.8 steals per contest.

Tshiebwe is in the Jazz's starting lineup against the Nuggets on Wednesday.

Tshiebwe will make his third NBA start Wednesday and second of the season. He has hauled in at least six boards in each of his last seven outings, and over that span he has averaged 8.7 points, 7.1 rebounds and 1.7 assists over 16.9 minutes per game. He'll join Brice Sensabaugh, Ace Bailey, Cody Williams and Kyle Filipowski in the starting five.

Trent won't return to Wednesday's game against the Rockets due to a hip contusion. He'll finish with zero points (0-3 FG, 0-1 3Pt) and one steal in seven minutes.

Trent checked out with 4:32 remaining in the opening quarter and won't return due to the hip injury. His next opportunity to play will come Friday against Boston. The Bucks have just seven players available for the remainder of Wednesday's game, so Cormac Ryan and Andre Jackson will likely help pick up the slack.

Chandler is not in the Jazz's starting lineup against the Nuggets on Wednesday.

Chandler made his first NBA start against the Cavaliers on Tuesday, when he played 40 minutes and finished with 12 points, five assists, four rebounds, one block and two three-pointers in a 122-113 loss. He'll come off the bench for Wednesday's contest while the Jazz roll with a starting five of Brice Sensabaugh, Cody Williams, Ace Bailey, Oscar Tshiebwe and Kyle Filipowski.

Watson won't start Wednesday's game against the Jazz.

With Aaron Gordon (calf) back in the lineup after a one-game absence, Watson will retreat to the second unit. The fourth-year forward has averaged 14.0 points, 5.0 rebounds and 3.3 assists in 21.3 minutes per contest over his last three appearances off the bench.

Payton (knee) has been ruled out for Wednesday's game against the Spurs.

Payton will miss the front end of the Warriors' back-to-back set due to right knee injury management, but he should be available for Thursday's contest against the Cavaliers. Will Richard, Seth Curry and Nate Williams are all candidates to see a bump in minutes in Payton's absence.

Gordon (calf) is listed as available for Wednesday's game against the Jazz but will remain on a minutes restriction, Katy Winge of Altitude Sports reports.

Gordon will shed his probable tag due to left calf tightness and return to action following a one-game absence. Over nine appearances in March, the veteran forward averaged 14.0 points, 5.3 rebounds and 2.4 assists in 26.6 minutes per game. It's unclear how many minutes he'll be limited to Wednesday, though it's worth noting he logged 31 minutes in Friday's win over the Jazz.

Brown will start Wednesday's game against the Bulls, per Tony East of Forbes.com.

Brown will join the first unit Wednesday after a stellar performance off the bench in Sunday's win over the Heat, when he racked up 18 points, four rebounds and five assists across 33 minutes. With the Pacers regularly shuffling their rotation down the stretch to evaluate their young talent, Brown will get another opportunity to showcase his skill set from the opening tip.

Mashack is not in the Grizzlies' starting lineup against the Knicks on Wednesday.

The rookie second-rounder made his fifth start of the season against the Suns on Monday, when he played 37 minutes and finished with 14 points, three rebounds, two assists, two steals and one three-pointer in a 131-105 loss. He'll revert to a bench role for Wednesday's contest while Memphis rolls with a starting five of Cedric Coward, Javon Small, GG Jackson, Olivier-Maxence Prosper and Cam Spencer.

Huff will start in Wednesday's game against Chicago, Tony East of Forbes.com reports.

Huff started in three consecutive contests before heading to the bench for Sunday's 135-118 win over the Miami Heat. However, Pascal Siakam will move back to the four spot Wednesday, allowing Huff to re-enter the starting lineup. In 44 starts this season, the 28-year-old has averaged 10.7 points, 4.5 rebounds, 1.6 assists, 2.0 blocks and 0.6 steals while shooting 49.2 percent from the field and 33.3 percent from deep across 23.5 minutes.
