Clippers' Bennedict Mathurin: Out for three-game trip
The Clippers announced Tuesday that Mathurin (toe) will be sidelined for the team's entire three-game road trip, which concludes Saturday in Dallas, Tomer Azarly of ClutchPoints.com reports.
L.A. had already listed Mathurin out for Wednesday's game in New Orleans, but he'll also end up missing the rematch with the Pelicans on Thursday in addition to the contest in Dallas. Mathurin is tending to a right toe injury and is set to undergo further treatment back in Los Angeles while the Clippers are on the road. If Mathurin responds well to treatment, he could return to the court as early as Monday against Milwaukee.

Grizzlies' Brandon Clarke: Ruled out for Wednesday
Clarke (calf) has been ruled out for Wednesday's game against the Nuggets.
Clarke hasn't played since Dec. 20 due to a right calf strain, though he's expected to be re-evaluated soon. The 29-year-old big man should be considered doubtful for future contests until Memphis offers an update on his progress.

Ace Bailey SG | UTA
Jazz's Ace Bailey: Questionable to play Wednesday
Bailey (concussion) is questionable for Wednesday's game versus Minnesota.
Bailey wasn't available for Sunday's loss to Sacramento. Andersson Garcia entered the starting lineup in that one, amassing three points, 11 rebounds, three assists, two steals and one block in 43 minutes. If Bailey doesn't suit up again Wednesday, Garcia would presumably be in line for another start.

John Konchar SG | UTA
Jazz's John Konchar: Questionable to face Minnesota
Konchar (calf) is listed as questionable for Wednesday's game against the Timberwolves.
Konchar is in danger of missing the front end of this back-to-back set due to left calf injury management, which would mark his fourth straight game on the inactive list. If the 29-year-old forward is ultimately ruled out, Andersson Garcia and Brice Sensabaugh would be candidates to see an uptick in playing time.

Brandon Williams PG | DAL
Mavericks' Brandon Williams: Doubtful for Wednesday
Williams is doubtful for Wednesday's game against the Hawks due to a concussion.
The guard is unlikely to pass the league's concussion protocol in time for Wednesday's action. With Williams likely sidelined, Max Christie is in the streaming mix in shallow fantasy leagues and Ryan Nembhard in deeper setups.

Caleb Martin SF | DAL
Mavericks' Caleb Martin: Tagged questionable for Wednesday
Martin (foot) is questionable for Wednesday's game against Atlanta.
Martin was held out of Monday's clash against New Orleans due to right foot soreness, but he'll have another chance to return Wednesday. Khris Middleton and Klay Thompson would likely benefit if Martin is unable to suit up.

Kyle Filipowski PF | UTA
Jazz's Kyle Filipowski: Off injury report for Wednesday
Filipowski (rest) isn't listed on the injury report for Wednesday's game against the Timberwolves.
Filipowski sat out Sunday's loss to the Kings for rest purposes but is set to return to action Wednesday. The second-year center has started each of his last 12 appearances, averaging 14.8 points, 8.7 rebounds, 3.9 assists and 2.9 combined steals-plus-blocks in 26.9 minutes per game during that span.

Daniel Gafford C | DAL
Mavericks' Daniel Gafford: Iffy for Wednesday
Gafford (illness) is questionable for Wednesday's game against the Hawks.
Gafford is in danger of missing a fourth consecutive matchup due to illness, but the fact that he's been upgraded to questionable is a sign he's trending in the right direction. He'll likely need to see how he feels during shootaround and warmups before the Mavericks provide another update on his availability.

Gregory Jackson PF | MEM
Grizzlies' GG Jackson: Off injury report for Wednesday
Jackson (foot) is off the injury report for Wednesday's game against the Nuggets.
Jackson is available to return from a two-game absence with right foot soreness. The third-year forward is worthy of roster consideration in most fantasy leagues, and he has averaged 15.7 points, 6.0 rebounds, 1.9 assists and 1.3 blocks in 25.3 minutes per contest over his last seven games.

Jonathan Kuminga PF | ATL
Hawks' Jonathan Kuminga: Iffy for Wednesday
Kuminga (knee) is listed as questionable for Wednesday's game against the Mavericks.
Kuminga has been held out of four of Atlanta's last six games while managing a left knee injury, and he is in jeopardy of missing Wednesday's contest as well. If the 23-year-old forward isn't cleared to play, more minutes would be available for guys like Mouhamed Gueye, Corey Kispert and Zaccharie Risacher.
