Diabate was suspended four games for his altercation during Monday's game against Detroit, Shams Charania of ESPN reports.

Miles Bridges was also suspended for four games, with both players eligible to return Feb. 24 against the Bulls. In Diabate's absence, Ryan Kalkbrenner will likely be asked to step into the starting role, and he'll offer a lot of upside in fantasy for the short term.

The NBA suspended Bridges for four games for his altercation Monday against the Pistons, ESPN's Shams Charania reports.

Isaiah Stewart received the biggest suspension with seven games, and Bridges was right behind him with four. Fantasy managers knew something like this was coming, and now Bridges is ineligible to play until Feb. 24 against the Bulls. In the meantime, players such as Grant Williams and Sion James could see more minutes for the Hornets.

Duren has been suspended for two games for his participation in an altercation during Monday's matchup with Charlotte, Shams Charania of ESPN reports.

Duren and teammate Isaiah Stewart were the two Pistons suspended following the scuffle that involved Miles Bridges and Moussa Diabate. However, Duren's suspension was the shortest out of the four. With Duren out for two games and Stewart sidelined for seven, Paul Reed could take the reins at center while the two are unavailable, with Isaac Jones and Tolu Smith potentially seeing playing time.

Stewart will be suspended for seven games for his involvement in an altercation with Charlotte's Miles Bridges and Moussa Diabate on Monday, ESPN's Shams Charania reports.

The Pistons were anticipating a lengthy suspension and got one for their backup center after he left the bench to aggressively charge Bridges and Diabate. Jalen Duren will be suspended for a pair of games, making Paul Reed a decent pickup in fantasy hoops for the short term. Stewart will be eligible to return against the Cavaliers on March 3.

Vukcevic is questionable to play Wednesday against the Cavaliers due to an illness.

Vukcevic was not on the injury report until this morning, indicating that his availability for Wednesday's game may be in jeopardy. If he is ultimately unable to go, Anthony Gill (hand) and Will Riley will likely see extended playing time as a result.

Gill (hand) will play Wednesday against the Cavaliers.

The Wizards do have a cleaner injury report than usual, so Gill is likely to be deployed as an emergency depth option Wednesday.

Rollins is questionable for Wednesday's game versus Orlando with right foot plantar fasciitis.

Wednesday's game is the front end of a back-to-back set, so a maintenance day could be on the table for Rollins. If he's unable to give it a go, Cam Thomas and Gary Trent could become more involved for the Bucks.

Claxton (hip) has been downgraded to doubtful for Wednesday's matchup with Indiana.

Claxton has missed only two games all season but is in severe danger of missing a third, as his updated status indicates he will likely be sidelined against the Pacers. If Claxton officially can't go, Day'Ron Sharpe would be the biggest beneficiary, and Danny Wolf would also likely see some increased run as well.

George (ankle) will play Wednesday against the Cavaliers.

Both George and Bilal Coulibaly (heel) will shake off questionable tags for this contest. George has been quiet in his six most recent outings with 12.2 points, 3.7 assists, 2.7 rebounds, 1.0 blocks and 1.3 three-pointers in 24.1 minutes per game.

Coulibaly (heel) is good to go for Wednesday's game against the Cavaliers.

Coulibaly will shake off a questionable tag to appear in this contest. He's coming off a dud Sunday against the Heat with seven points, four rebounds, one assist, one block and one steal in 34 minutes.
