  • Aaron Gordon PF | DEN

    Nuggets' Aaron Gordon: Ruled out for Wednesday

    Gordon (hamstring) won't play Wednesday versus the Mavericks.

    Gordon will hit the sidelines for the second leg of this back-to-back set, but he should be back for Friday's meeting with the Jazz. With Gordon out, there will be more minutes available for Spencer Jones, Cameron Johnson and Peyton Watson.

  • Moussa Cisse C | DAL

    Mavericks' Moussa Cisse: Not available Wednesday

    Cisse (two-way) is listed as out for Wednesday's game against the Nuggets.

    Cisse hasn't suited up for the Mavericks since March 6 while the team continues to manage his availability as the season winds down. After Wednesday, the undrafted rookie out of Memphis will be eligible to play in four of the Mavericks' final nine games while he remains signed to a two-way deal. Cisse's most recent game action came in the G League back on Sunday, when he played 28 minutes and recorded 17 points, 12 rebounds, two assists, two steals and two blocks in the Texas Legends' 109-106 win over the Iowa Wolves. He had missed the Legends' previous game Friday against the Wolves due to a right shoulder injury.

  • Kawhi Leonard SF | LAC

    Clippers' Kawhi Leonard: Will play Wednesday

    Leonard (ankle) will play Wednesday against the Raptors, Tomer Azarly of ClutchPoints.com reports.

    Leonard will power through an ankle issue and make himself available for Wednesday's game. Leonard is averaging 28.3 points, 6.3 rebounds, 3.6 assists, 2.7 triples and 2.0 steals per game this season.

  • Mavericks' Daniel Gafford: Won't play Wednesday

    Gafford (shoulder) has been ruled out for Wednesday's game against Denver, Brad Townsend of The Dallas Morning News reports.

    Gafford has been downgraded from questionable to out Wednesday. The 27-year-old center picked up a sprained right shoulder in the Mavericks' most recent game. With Gafford out of the picture Wednesday, Marvin Bagley and Dwight Powell could see more playing time. Gafford's next chance to play will come Friday at Portland.

  • Kyle Kuzma PF | MIL

    Bucks' Kyle Kuzma: Won't play Wednesday

    Kuzma (Achilles) has been ruled out for Wednesday's game in Portland.

    This will be Kuzma's second straight game on the sidelines, and for now, he should be considered highly questionable for Saturday's meeting with the Spurs. Jericho Sims and Pete Nance will help pick up the slack in Kuzma's absence.

  • Mavericks' Brandon Williams: Cleared to face Denver

    Williams (concussion) is available for Wednesday's game against the Nuggets, Brad Townsend of The Dallas Morning News reports.

    Williams will return from a three-game absence due to a concussion. His return could spell fewer minutes for Ryan Nembhard and Klay Thompson.

  • Bobby Portis PF | MIL

    Bucks' Bobby Portis: Out for Wednesday

    Portis (wrist) won't play Wednesday against the Trail Blazers.

    Kyle Kuzma (Achilles) is also out for Wednesday's game, so Pete Nance, Taurean Prince and Ousmane Dieng will have the opportunity for some extended minutes. For now, Portis should be considered questionable for Saturday's game versus the Spurs, which will be the first of a back-to-back set.

  • Julian Reese PF | WAS

    Wizards' Julian Reese: Starting Wednesday

    Reese is part of the starting lineup for Wednesday's game against the Jazz.

    Alex Sarr (toe) and Tristan Vukcevic (back) are sidelined, leaving a spot open in the starting lineup for Reese. In his four other starts this season, Reese averaged 10.3 points, 9.4 rebounds, 1.5 assists and 1.0 steals across 30.8 minutes, though those numbers are inflated by an 18-point, 20-rebound outburst.

  • Leaky Black SF | WAS

    Wizards' Leaky Black: Starting Wednesday

    Black is part of the starting five for Wednesday's game against the Jazz.

    Black will make his third start of the campaign Wednesday. In his first two appearances as a starter, Black averaged 13.0 points, 3.5 rebounds and 1.5 assists across 35.0 minutes.

  • Myles Turner C | MIL

    Bucks' Myles Turner: Ruled out for Wednesday

    Turner (calf) is out for Wednesday's game in Portland.

    Bobby Portis (wrist) and Kyle Kuzma (Achilles) will join Turner on the inactive list for Wednesday's game, leaving Milwaukee very thin up front. Jericho Sims will get a chance to start with Turner out, and there will be more minutes available for Ousmane Dieng. Turner's next chance to play will come Saturday against the Spurs.
