Chet Holmgren PF | OKC
Thunder's Chet Holmgren: Available Wednesday
Holmgren (hip) is available for Wednesday's game against the Nets.
Holmgren will overcome a left hip contusion and should face no restrictions, provided Wednesday's contest versus an inferior opponent remains competitive. The All-Star big man has averaged 18.4 points, 11.3 rebounds, 1.6 assists and 1.3 blocks in 31.0 minutes per contest over his last seven games, shooting 56.8 percent from the field during this stretch.

Quenton Jackson SG | IND
Pacers' Quenton Jackson: Officially in
Jackson (calf) is available for Wednesday's game against Portland.
Jackson will shed a questionable tag in time to face the Trail Blazers. The fourth-year guard is averaging 8.5 points, 2.4 assists and 2.2 rebounds across 17.4 minutes per game this season.

Jaylen Clark SG | MIN
Timberwolves' Jaylen Clark: Available to play
Clark (calf) is available for Wednesday's meeting with the Jazz.
While Clark will be available for Wednesday's game, that doesn't mean he'll touch the court. He's been a negligible part of the rotation as of late, logging DNP-CDs in two of the past three games.

Joan Beringer C | MIN
Timberwolves' Joan Beringer: Recalled to NBA
The Timberwolves recalled Beringer from the G League's Iowa Wolves on Wednesday, Dane Moore of 'The Dane Moore NBA Podcast' reports.
Beringer has logged just seven minutes over two appearances with Minnesota on the month. However, the rookie first-rounder is likely to see meaningful playing time in Wednesday's game against Utah due to Naz Reid (ankle) being sidelined.

Collin Murray-Boyles PF | TOR
Raptors' Collin Murray-Boyles: Officially out
Murray-Boyles (thumb) has been ruled out for Wednesday's game against Chicago, Michael Grange of Sportsnet.ca reports.
Murray-Boyles was initially listed as doubtful, so his absence doesn't come as much of a surprise. It'll be the rookie big man's ninth straight absence due to a left thumb sprain. His next chance to play will come Friday at Denver.

Kawhi Leonard SF | LAC
Clippers' Kawhi Leonard: Will play Wednesday
Leonard (ankle) will be available for Wednesday's game against New Orleans, Lauren Rosen of FanDuel Sports Network SoCal reports.
Leonard will shed his questionable tag and return from a one-game absence due to a left ankle sprain he sustained in Saturday's loss to the Kings. With the superstar forward back in action, Kobe Sanders will likely see fewer minutes. Leonard has averaged 29.6 points, 6.1 rebounds, 3.6 assists and 1.8 steals over 30.2 minutes per game in nine March appearances.

Kristaps Porzingis C | GS
Warriors' Kristaps Porzingis: Starting Wednesday
Porzingis will start Wednesday versus the Celtics, Dalton Johnson of NBC Sports Bay Area reports.
Porzingis came off the bench in Monday's win over the Wizards, but he'll be back with the starters Wednesday, sending Will Richard to the bench. Brandin Podziemski, De'Anthony Melton, Gui Santos and Draymond Green will join Porzingis in the first unit versus Boston.

Will Richard PG | GS
Warriors' Will Richard: Bumped back to second unit
Richard isn't part of the starting lineup for Wednesday's game against Boston, Dalton Johnson of NBC Sports Bay Area reports.
Richard has started three of his last four appearances, but he'll be back with the reserves for Wednesday's contest. The rookie guard should still see significant run off the bench.

Devin Vassell SG | SA
Spurs' Devin Vassell: Not listed on injury report
Vassell (ankle) isn't listed on the injury report for Thursday's game against the Suns, Paul Garcia of ProjectSpurs.com reports.
Vassell missed Tuesday's win over the Kings -- the second leg of a back-to-back -- due to left ankle soreness. However, he's set to return to action Thursday, which will likely result in Harrison Barnes moving to the second unit. Over nine March appearances, Vassell has averaged 13.9 points, 3.9 rebounds, 2.8 assists and 0.9 steals in 31.9 minutes per tilt.

Collin Sexton SG | CHI
Bulls' Collin Sexton: Cleared to play Wednesday
Sexton (lower leg) will play in Wednesday's game against Toronto, K.C. Johnson of Chicago Sports Network reports.
Sexton was initially listed as questionable for Wednesday's contest, though he'll shed that tag and return from a four-game absence. His return may result in Rob Dillingham seeing fewer minutes, though Jaden Ivey (knee) and Anfernee Simons (wrist) are both still out. Over four March appearances (one start), Sexton has averaged 25.0 points, 3.0 assists, 2.3 rebounds and 1.3 steals in 30.0 minutes per contest.
