  • Isaiah Stewart PF | DET

    Pistons' Isaiah Stewart: Good to go Wednesday

    Stewart (calf) is available for Wednesday's game against the Bucks.

    Stewart will shed his questionable tag and return from a 13-game absence due to a left calf strain. While he may operate under a minutes restriction in his first game back, the big man's return will leave fewer minutes available for Paul Reed.

  • Magic's Tristan da Silva: Moving back to bench role

    Da Silva is not in the starting lineup for Wednesday's game against the Timberwolves.

    Da Silva will return to his regular bench role due to the return of Franz Wagner (ankle) to the first unit. In 40 appearances off the bench this season, da Silva is averaging 8.3 points, 3.2 rebounds and 1.4 assists across 21.4 minutes per game.

  • Kevin Huerter SG | DET

    Pistons' Kevin Huerter: Not playing Wednesday

    Huerter (illness) is out for Wednesday's game against the Bucks.

    Huerter was a late addition to the injury report due to an illness, and the sharpshooting guard won't suit up for this contest. With Huerter out, look for the Pistons to hand more minutes to the likes of Javonte Green and Caris LeVert, as well as Marcus Sasser.

  • Pistons' Cade Cunningham: Returning to action Wednesday

    Cunningham (lung) is listed as available for Wednesday's game against Milwaukee.

    Cunningham missed Detroit's last 11 contests because of a collapsed lung, but he's made enough progress in his recovery to receive medical clearance to resume playing. As a result of his extended absence, Cunningham will likely be eased back into action with a light minutes load, though he'll presumably take back his spot in the starting five from Daniss Jenkins.

  • Jaylon Tyson SF | CLE

    Cavaliers' Jaylon Tyson: Not playing Wednesday

    Tyson (toe) is out for Wednesday's game against the Hawks, Serena Winters of FanDuel Sports Network Ohio reports.

    Tyson was initially listed as questionable, then downgraded to doubtful before ultimately being ruled out. This is his 10th straight absence, and it's unclear if he'll be able to return to action before the end of the regular season. His next chance to suit up will come against Atlanta in a rematch Friday.

  • Keon Ellis SG | CLE

    Cavaliers' Keon Ellis: Not starting Wednesday

    Ellis won't start Wednesday's game against Atlanta, Serena Winters of FanDuel Sports Network Ohio reports.

    Ellis started Cleveland's last two games, most recently recording 19 points, three rebounds, eight assists and one steal across 27 minutes in Monday's 142-126 win over Memphis. However, with Dean Wade (ankle), Donovan Mitchell (ankle) and James Harden (personal) available, Ellis will return to the bench.

  • Sam Merrill SG | CLE

    Cavaliers' Sam Merrill: Won't start Wednesday

    Merrill won't start Wednesday's game against the Hawks, Serena Winters of FanDuel Sports Network Ohio reports.

    Merrill has started 15 of his last 16 outings but will retreat to the second unit against Atlanta. Over 13 appearances off the bench this season, the sharpshooter has averaged 9.5 points, 2.4 assists and 1.7 rebounds in 24.7 minutes per contest.

  • Cavaliers' Dennis Schroder: Back to bench role

    Schroder is not in the starting lineup for Wednesday's game against the Hawks, Serena Winters of FanDuel Sports Network Ohio reports.

    Schroder produced 22 points (8-12 FG, 1-2 3Pt, 5-6 FT), five rebounds and 11 assists across 29 minutes during Monday's 142-126 win over the Grizzlies, but he'll return to the bench role now that both Donovan Mitchell (ankle) and James Harden (personal) are available. Schroder is averaging 7.6 points, 2.2 rebounds and 4.0 assists per game in his last five outings off the bench, so his fantasy appeal drops considerably if he doesn't start.

  • Max Strus SG | CLE

    Cavaliers' Max Strus: Not starting in return

    Strus won't start Wednesday's game against the Hawks, Serena Winters of FanDuel Sports Network Ohio reports.

    Strus is set to return from a one-game absence for maintenance purposes, though Dean Wade will get the starting nod. Strus has averaged 12.5 points, 6.5 rebounds and 2.0 assists in 24.0 minutes per game over six appearances off the bench this season.

  • Cavaliers' Donovan Mitchell: Available and starting

    Mitchell (ankle) is available and starting against the Hawks on Wednesday, Serena Winters of FanDuel Sports Network Ohio reports.

    Mitchell, who was initially considered questionable due to a right ankle sprain, will return after a one-game absence. Expect the star guard to handle his regular workload in the backcourt alongside James Harden. Mitchell is averaging 25.5 points, 4.5 rebounds, 5.0 assists and 1.2 steals per game over his last 10 appearances.
