  • Nicolas Batum PF | LAC

    Clippers' Nicolas Batum: Won't suit up Wednesday

    Batum (rest) has been ruled out for Wednesday's game against the Pelicans.

    Batum will sit out the front of this back-to-back set, and his next opportunity to play will come in Thursday's rematch in New Orleans. With the veteran forward out, Kobe Sanders may see a slight bump in playing time.

  • Mavericks' Daniel Gafford: Available to play

    Gafford (illness) is available for Wednesday's game against the Hawks, Lauren L. Williams of The Atlanta Journal-Constitution reports.

    Gafford is back after a three-game layoff, which will likely result in Ryan Nembhard, Naji Marshall or P.J. Washington heading back to the second unit. There will also be fewer minutes available for Marvin Bagley with Gafford active.

  • Aaron Nesmith SF | IND

    Pacers' Aaron Nesmith: Cleared to face Portland

    Nesmith (ankle) is available for Wednesday's game against Portland.

    Nesmith was listed as questionable due to a right ankle injury, but he's been given the green light to play Wednesday. Nesmith will likely fill his usual starting role, where he's averaging 13.8 points, 4.1 rebounds and 2.1 assists across 29.9 minutes per game.

  • T.J. McConnell PG | IND

    Pacers' T.J. McConnell: Available to play

    McConnell (hamstring) is available for Wednesday's game versus the Trail Blazers.

    McConnell may have his minutes monitored on the second leg of this back-to-back set, but he'll be out there. Over the past three games, McConnell has handed out a total of 27 assists, so give him a look if you need some help in that category.

  • Chet Holmgren PF | OKC

    Thunder's Chet Holmgren: Available Wednesday

    Holmgren (hip) is available for Wednesday's game against the Nets.

    Holmgren will overcome a left hip contusion and should face no restrictions, provided Wednesday's contest versus an inferior opponent remains competitive. The All-Star big man has averaged 18.4 points, 11.3 rebounds, 1.6 assists and 1.3 blocks in 31.0 minutes per contest over his last seven games, shooting 56.8 percent from the field during this stretch.

  • Pacers' Quenton Jackson: Officially in

    Jackson (calf) is available for Wednesday's game against Portland.

    Jackson will shed a questionable tag in time to face the Trail Blazers. The fourth-year guard is averaging 8.5 points, 2.4 assists and 2.2 rebounds across 17.4 minutes per game this season.

  • Jaylen Clark SG | MIN

    Timberwolves' Jaylen Clark: Available to play

    Clark (calf) is available for Wednesday's meeting with the Jazz.

    While Clark will be available for Wednesday's game, that doesn't mean he'll touch the court. He's been a negligible part of the rotation as of late, logging DNP-CDs in two of the past three games.

  • Timberwolves' Joan Beringer: Recalled to NBA

    The Timberwolves recalled Beringer from the G League's Iowa Wolves on Wednesday, Dane Moore of 'The Dane Moore NBA Podcast' reports.

    Beringer has logged just seven minutes over two appearances with Minnesota on the month. However, the rookie first-rounder is likely to see meaningful playing time in Wednesday's game against Utah due to Naz Reid (ankle) being sidelined.

  • Raptors' Collin Murray-Boyles: Officially out

    Murray-Boyles (thumb) has been ruled out for Wednesday's game against Chicago, Michael Grange of Sportsnet.ca reports.

    Murray-Boyles was initially listed as doubtful, so his absence doesn't come as much of a surprise. It'll be the rookie big man's ninth straight absence due to a left thumb sprain. His next chance to play will come Friday at Denver.

  • Kawhi Leonard SF | LAC

    Clippers' Kawhi Leonard: Will play Wednesday

    Leonard (ankle) will be available for Wednesday's game against New Orleans, Lauren Rosen of FanDuel Sports Network SoCal reports.

    Leonard will shed his questionable tag and return from a one-game absence due to a left ankle sprain he sustained in Saturday's loss to the Kings. With the superstar forward back in action, Kobe Sanders will likely see fewer minutes. Leonard has averaged 29.6 points, 6.1 rebounds, 3.6 assists and 1.8 steals over 30.2 minutes per game in nine March appearances.
