  • 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.

  • Dean Wade PF | CLE

    Cavaliers' Dean Wade: Returning versus Hawks

    Wade (ankle) is available and starting in Wednesday's game against Atlanta, Serena Winters of FanDuel Sports Network Ohio reports.

    Wade will suit up after missing the Cavaliers' last seven games because of an ankle injury. He will also start over Max Strus. In 36 starts this season, Wade has averaged 6.4 points, 4.4 rebounds, 1.6 assists, 0.3 blocks and 0.8 steals across 23.0 minutes.

  • Johni Broome PF | PHI

    76ers' Johni Broome: Remaining out for Thursday

    Broome (knee) is listed as out for Thursday's game against Houston.

    Broome underwent surgery in February to repair a meniscus tear in his right knee. However, he remains without a clear timetable for a return. The 23-year-old has averaged 0.9 points, 1.5 rebounds, 0.4 assists, 0.2 blocks and 0.3 steals across 5.0 minutes in 11 appearances for Philadelphia this season, so his continued absence won't have much of an impact on the rotation.

  • Dru Smith SG | MIA

    Heat's Dru Smith: Iffy for Thursday

    Smith (foot) is listed as questionable for Thursday's game against the Raptors.

    Smith is in danger of missing the front end of this back-to-back set due to right foot soreness. His absence wouldn't significantly impact the rotation, though Kasparas Jakucionis could pick up a few extra minutes if Smith is ruled out.

  • Kobe Brown SF | IND

    Pacers' Kobe Brown: Listed as questionable

    Brown (back) is listed as questionable for Thursday's game against the Nets.

    Brown didn't play in the second half of Tuesday's loss to Minnesota due to lower-back soreness, and he's now questionable for Thursday's contest due to a lumbar sprain. If the 26-year-old forward is unable to suit up in the first leg of this back-to-back, Jalen Slawson, Micah Potter and Obi Toppin would be candidates to see increased playing time.

  • Norman Powell SG | MIA

    Heat's Norman Powell: Questionable versus Toronto

    Powell (groin) is listed as questionable for Thursday's game against Toronto.

    Powell missed four consecutive contests due to an illness before returning for Tuesday's 121-95 loss to the Raptors. However, he's back on the injury report for Thursday's rematch because of right groin soreness, an issue he has dealt with throughout the campaign. If Powell can't suit up, Jaime Jaquez, Kasparas Jakucionis and Pelle Larsson might see even more work.

  • Tyler Kolek PG | NY

    Knicks' Tyler Kolek: Questionable to play Thursday

    Kolek is questionable for Thursday's game against the Celtics due to a right oblique strain.

    Kolek is the only injury casualty for the Knicks ahead of their rivalry matchup against the Celtics, but even if Kolek is given the green light to play, he might not carry a lot of fantasy appeal in most formats. He's averaging just 7.5 minutes per game in 11 appearances off the bench since the beginning of March.

  • Ben Sheppard SG | IND

    Pacers' Ben Sheppard: Listed as questionable

    Sheppard (hip) is questionable for Thursday's game against the Nets.

    Sheppard has missed the Pacers' last two games, and while the questionable tag leaves the door open for his return, a final call on his availability will presumably be made closer to Thursday's 7:30 p.m. ET tipoff. Ethan Thompson and Quenton Jackson should see more minutes if Sheppard remains sidelined.

  • Josh Minott SF | BKN

    Nets' Josh Minott: Ruled out for Thursday

    Minott (ankle) has been ruled out for Thursday's game against the Pacers.

    Minott is dealing with left ankle soreness and will miss the front end of this back-to-back set. His next opportunity to play will come Friday in Milwaukee. The Nets will be very shorthanded in the frontcourt Thursday, so Jalen Wilson, Chaney Johnson and Ochai Agbaji could all see increased burn.

  • Jaden Hardy SG | WAS

    Wizards' Jaden Hardy: Might miss another game Thursday

    Hardy (back) is listed as questionable for Thursday's game against Chicago.

    Hardy wasn't available in Tuesday's 129-98 loss to the Bulls. He's back on the injury report for Thursday's rematch. If Hardy can suit up versus Chicago, he may be needed in the starting lineup. However, if he doesn't get on the floor, Jamir Watkins and Bub Carrington may see more minutes.
