Watson (hamstring) is questionable for Wednesday's game against the Mavericks.

After missing the front end of this back-to-back set Tuesday against the Suns, Watson is not a lock to play Wednesday. If he's held out once again, the Nuggets will likely lean on Tim Hardaway and Spencer Jones.

Vukcevic is out for Wednesday's game against the Jazz due to lower-back tightness.

After exiting early during Sunday's loss to the Knicks, Vukcevic continues to deal with the issue and can be deemed day-to-day going forward. With Alex Sarr (toe) also sidelined, the Wizards will need to play small-ball, with Anthony Gill, Justin Champagnie, Julian Reese and Jamir Watkins as candidates to soak up center minutes.

Coulibaly (heel) is good to go for Wednesday's game against the Jazz.

Coulibaly will shake off a questionable tag after dealing with right retrocalcaneal bursitis. For now, it's unclear if he will face any restrictions against the Jazz. After missing two games in mid-March, Coulibaly has totaled 34 points, nine rebounds, six assists, four steals and four blocks in 63 minutes over his past two appearances.

Murray ended with seven points (2-12 FG, 1-4 3Pt, 2-2 FT), five rebounds, 12 assists and one steal in 28 minutes during Tuesday's 121-116 loss to New York.

The 12 dimes were a season best for the star guard, who did struggle mightily to score Tuesday. Overall, Murray is still putting together a convincing comeback from last year's Achilles rupture, averaging 18.9 points, 7.0 assists, 5.4 rebounds and 1.4 steals in 29.1 minutes per tilt in his last seven games.

Bane totaled 17 points (5-13 FG, 1-3 3Pt, 6-6 FT), seven rebounds, three assists and two steals across 36 minutes during Tuesday's 136-131 loss to the Cavaliers.

Bane continues to provide steady numbers for fantasy managers, having not missed any of Orlando's 72 contests on the campaign. The star shooting guard has averaged 20.2 points, 4.4 rebounds, 4.2 assists, 1.3 steals and 2.0 three-pointers in 34.8 minutes per tilt in his last nine games, shooting 39.1 percent from three-point land.

Harden ended Tuesday's 136-131 victory over the Magic with 26 points (8-16 FG, 4-6 3Pt, 6-7 FT), three rebounds, seven assists, one block and one steal over 37 minutes.

That's now four consecutive games with at least 20 points for the All-Star guard, who is fitting in nicely alongside Donovan Mitchell in the Cleveland backcourt. Over his past four outings, Harden is averaging 27.3 points, 8.0 assists, 5.3 rebounds and 1.5 steals in 35.9 minutes per game.

Mobley finished Tuesday's 136-131 win over the Magic with 19 points (8-8 FG, 3-4 FT), nine rebounds, six assists and one block across 32 minutes.

Mobley continues to roll for the Cavaliers and fantasy managers alike, scoring at least 18 points in his seventh game in a row. The All-Star big man has averaged 22.1 points, 11.0 rebounds, 3.4 assists and 1.7 blocks in 31.9 minutes per contest during that period, though he is shooting a dismal 43.6 percent from the free-throw line over this time.

Schroder finished Tuesday's 136-131 win over the Magic with six points (3-5 FG, 0-1 3Pt), one rebound and two assists in 16 minutes.

With James Harden and Donovan Mitchell both healthy in the Cavaliers' backcourt, Schroder's fantasy appeal remains muted. The veteran guard has scored in single figures in nine consecutive games (no starts), during which Schroder has averaged 4.6 points, 3.2 assists and 1.7 rebounds in 18.2 minutes per contest.

Braun racked up 13 points (6-10 FG, 1-3 3Pt), three rebounds and one assist across 32 minutes during Tuesday's 125-123 win over Phoenix.

While Braun has been limited to just 37 games in 2025-26, he's finding his footing down the stretch for the Nuggets with eight straight outings with at least 11 points. Over these last eight contests, the swingman has averaged 16.1 points, 4.9 rebounds, 2.6 assists, 1.0 steals and 1.5 three-pointers in 32.5 minutes per game while shooting 40.0 percent from downtown.

Matkovic ended with 12 points (5-6 FG, 2-2 3Pt), three rebounds and one assist in 23 minutes during Tuesday's 121-116 loss to the Knicks.

This was a solid showing for Matkovic, but with the Pelicans no longer in the mix for a playoff spot, it will be interesting to see if the team looks to get Derik Queen more involved at the expense of Matkovic. The veteran holds averages of 5.7 points and 3.7 rebounds in 14.6 minutes per contest this season.
