Williams (knee) is out for Wednesday's game against the Kings.

Williams is sitting out the second end of Charlotte's back-to-back, opening the door to extra minutes to Sion James and Josh Green. The expectation is that Williams will be able to return Saturday when the Hornets face the Spurs in San Antonio.

Salaun (calf) is out for Wednesday's game against the Kings.

Salaun continues to battle a strained left calf and will miss a fifth consecutive game. His next chance to play comes Saturday in San Antonio versus the Spurs.

Monk (ankle) is out for Wednesday's game against the Hornets.

Monk left Tuesday's game against the Pacers early with this ankle issue. With Russell Westbrook (quadriceps) getting the night off, Nique Clifford and Killian Hayes could see extended minutes Wednesday.

Carter is out for Wednesday's game against the Hornets with right calf soreness.

After dropping a career-high 24 points during Tuesday's 114-109 win over the Pacers, Carter is sitting out the second half of Sacramento's back-to-back. Killian Hayes could be thrust into a featured role at point guard Wednesday, and Nique Clifford should also see more ballhandling chances.

Westbrook (quadriceps) is out for Wednesday's game against Charlotte.

Westbrook is dealing with a contusion and will miss the second leg of this back-to-back set. Devin Carter (calf) and Malik Monk (ankle) are also out, so the Kings will likely need to rely heavily on Nique Clifford and Killian Hayes.

Dosunmu has a right thumb sprain and is questionable for Wednesday's game against the Clippers.

This is a new issue for Dosunmu, putting his status for the second leg of this back-to-back set in jeopardy. If Dosunmu is unable to give it a go, the Timberwolves could lean more on Bones Hyland.

McDaniels registered six points (3-9 FG, 0-5 3Pt), two rebounds and one steal over 26 minutes during Tuesday's 120-106 loss to the Lakers.

This was a dud by McDaniels' standards, but his fantasy managers can just chalk it up to an off night. Overall this season, McDaniels holds averages of 14.7 points, 4.3 rebounds, 2.8 assists, 1.1 steals, 1.1 blocks and 1.4 three-pointers.

Curry (knee) is expected to miss at least 10 more days, per Shams Charania of ESPN on Wednesday.

The superstar guard has started on-court workouts and is hoping to ramp up his activity soon, but the timeline for a return from his right knee injury likely rules him out for at least Golden State's next six contests. With Curry on the shelf, the Warriors will continue to ask more out of Brandin Podziemski, Pat Spencer, Gary Payton, Will Richard and LJ Cryer at point guard.

James contributed 11 points (2-3 FG, 2-3 3Pt, 5-6 FT), seven rebounds, one assist and one block over 24 minutes during Tuesday's 103-101 win over the Trail Blazers.

James put together a solid line Tuesday as the Hornets improved to 33-33 on the season. The rookie had scored a combined 12 points in his previous three games, so he's got some work to do to get back onto the fantasy radar.

Kalkbrenner closed with 13 points (6-8 FG, 0-1 3Pt, 1-2 FT), six rebounds, one assist and two blocks in 17 minutes during Tuesday's 103-101 win over Portland.

This was a strong showing for the rookie, but his workload again paled in comparison to Moussa Diabate. Until this position battle shifts towards Kalkbrenner, he's going to remain a deep-league fantasy option at best.
