Jalen Green SG | PHO
Suns' Jalen Green: Questionable for Wednesday
Green is questionable for Wednesday's game against the Thunder due to right hamstring injury management.
A maintenance day is potentially on the table for Green as the Suns prepare for their final game before the All-Star break. Grayson Allen (knee) has already been ruled out and Devin Booker (ankle) is listed questionable, so the Suns could lean heavily on Collin Gillespie, Jordan Goodwin and Jamaree Bouyea out of the backcourt Wednesday if both Booker and Green are sidelined.

Clippers' Nicolas Batum: Getting rest Wednesday
Batum will sit out Wednesday's game against Houston for rest purposes, NBA writer Justin Russo reports.
Batum will get a maintenance day for the second leg of a back-to-back set while the Clippers wrap up their pre-All-Star-break schedule. The veteran big man went unused off the bench Tuesday in the Clippers' 102-95 loss to the Rockets, marking just the second time all season he didn't play in a game.

Wizards' Alex Sarr: Downgraded to questionable
Sarr is questionable for Wednesday's game against the Cavaliers with right hamstring tightness.
Sarr was a late addition to the injury report, and that's usually a bad sign in fantasy hoops. Plus, the Wizards have been super cautious with all their key players. If Sarr is unable to play, Anthony Gill is the next man up at center with Tristan Vukcevic (illness) ruled out.

Dorian Finney-Smith PF | HOU
Rockets' Dorian Finney-Smith: Resting Wednesday
Finney-Smith (knee) has been ruled out for Wednesday's game against the Clippers.
As expected, Finney-Smith will be held out for the second leg of the back-to-back set due to left ankle injury management. Finney-Smith played a season-high 20 minutes in Tuesday's 102-95 win over the Clippers, finishing with three points (1-2 FG, 1-2 3Pt), two assists, one rebound and one block.

Tari Eason PF | HOU
Rockets' Tari Eason: Iffy for Wednesday
Eason is listed as questionable for Wednesday's game against the Clippers due to left lower leg injury management.
A maintenance day could be in the cards for Eason in the second leg of a back-to-back set. The fourth-year forward played 30 minutes in Tuesday's 102-95 win over the Clippers, finishing with six points (2-10 FG, 2-6 3Pt), five rebounds, one assist and one steal in 30 minutes.

Alperen Sengun C | HOU
Rockets' Alperen Sengun: Probable for Wednesday
Sengun is listed probable for Wednesday's game against the Clippers due to a left lower leg contusion.
Sengun is expected to power through the mild injury and play in the second leg of a back-to-back set. He logged 35 minutes in Tuesday's 102-95 win over the Clippers, finishing with 22 points, seven rebounds and five assists in 35 minutes.

Micah Peavy SF | NO
Pelicans' Micah Peavy: Ruled out Wednesday
Peavy (toe) will not play Wednesday against Miami.
Peavy has been utilized as an emergency depth option off the bench in recent outings, so his absence won't create many waves in fantasy hoops. His next chance to suit up will come after the All-Star break.

Mitchell Robinson C | NY
Knicks' Mitchell Robinson: Not listed on injury report
Robinson (ankle/rest) isn't listed on the injury report for Wednesday's game against the 76ers.
After resting during Tuesday's loss to the Pacers, Robinson will return to action Wednesday. Over his past 10 appearances, the veteran big man has averaged 5.4 points, 8.8 rebounds and 1.5 combined steals-plus-blocks in 20.8 minutes.

OG Anunoby SF | NY
Knicks' OG Anunoby: Out again Wednesday
Anunoby (toe) will miss Wednesday's game against the 76ers.
Anunoby will be sidelined for a fourth straight game Wednesday. He'll get some time to rest up during the All-Star break with a possible return Feb. 19 against the Pistons. Landry Shamet should draw another start in Anunoby's absence.
