Immanuel Quickley PG | TOR
Raptors' Immanuel Quickley: Downgraded to doubtful
Quickley is doubtful for Wednesday's game against the Clippers.
The 2020 first-rounder is expected to miss a second consecutive contest due to right foot plantar fasciitis. In Quickley's likely absence, Jamal Shead and Ja'Kobe Walter should both see additional ball-handling responsibilities in the backcourt Wednesday.

Bucks' Myles Turner: Added to injury report
Turner is questionable for Wednesday's game against Portland with right calf soreness.
Turner is a late addition to the injury report, and he's been nursing calf issues for the past week or so. With Bobby Portis' (wrist) status also up in the air Wednesday, the Bucks may need to turn to Jericho Sims and Pete Nance to both take on a featured role in the frontcourt.

Aaron Gordon PF | DEN
Nuggets' Aaron Gordon: Listed as questionable
Gordon is questionable for Wednesday's game against the Mavericks due to right hamstring injury management.
With Wednesday being the second leg of Denver's back-to-back set, the team is considering holding Gordon out of action for maintenance purposes. Peyton Watson (hamstring) is also a question mark to play versus Dallas, so both Tim Hardaway and Bruce Brown could be in line for an expanded role.

Tristan Vukcevic PF | WAS
Wizards' Tristan Vukcevic: Ruled out Wednesday
Vukcevic is out for Wednesday's game against the Jazz due to lower-back tightness.
After exiting early during Sunday's loss to the Knicks, Vukcevic continues to deal with the issue and can be deemed day-to-day going forward. With Alex Sarr (toe) also sidelined, the Wizards will need to play small-ball, with Anthony Gill, Justin Champagnie, Julian Reese and Jamir Watkins as candidates to soak up center minutes.

Bilal Coulibaly SF | WAS
Wizards' Bilal Coulibaly: Cleared to play
Coulibaly (heel) is good to go for Wednesday's game against the Jazz.
Coulibaly will shake off a questionable tag after dealing with right retrocalcaneal bursitis. For now, it's unclear if he will face any restrictions against the Jazz. After missing two games in mid-March, Coulibaly has totaled 34 points, nine rebounds, six assists, four steals and four blocks in 63 minutes over his past two appearances.

Dejounte Murray PG | NO
Pelicans' Dejounte Murray: Hands out season-high 12 dimes
Murray ended with seven points (2-12 FG, 1-4 3Pt, 2-2 FT), five rebounds, 12 assists and one steal in 28 minutes during Tuesday's 121-116 loss to New York.
The 12 dimes were a season best for the star guard, who did struggle mightily to score Tuesday. Overall, Murray is still putting together a convincing comeback from last year's Achilles rupture, averaging 18.9 points, 7.0 assists, 5.4 rebounds and 1.4 steals in 29.1 minutes per tilt in his last seven games.

Desmond Bane SG | ORL
Magic's Desmond Bane: Another strong performance
Bane totaled 17 points (5-13 FG, 1-3 3Pt, 6-6 FT), seven rebounds, three assists and two steals across 36 minutes during Tuesday's 136-131 loss to the Cavaliers.
Bane continues to provide steady numbers for fantasy managers, having not missed any of Orlando's 72 contests on the campaign. The star shooting guard has averaged 20.2 points, 4.4 rebounds, 4.2 assists, 1.3 steals and 2.0 three-pointers in 34.8 minutes per tilt in his last nine games, shooting 39.1 percent from three-point land.

James Harden PG | CLE
Cavaliers' James Harden: Continues to roll Tuesday
Harden ended Tuesday's 136-131 victory over the Magic with 26 points (8-16 FG, 4-6 3Pt, 6-7 FT), three rebounds, seven assists, one block and one steal over 37 minutes.
That's now four consecutive games with at least 20 points for the All-Star guard, who is fitting in nicely alongside Donovan Mitchell in the Cleveland backcourt. Over his past four outings, Harden is averaging 27.3 points, 8.0 assists, 5.3 rebounds and 1.5 steals in 35.9 minutes per game.

Evan Mobley PF | CLE
Cavaliers' Evan Mobley: Stays hot in victory
Mobley finished Tuesday's 136-131 win over the Magic with 19 points (8-8 FG, 3-4 FT), nine rebounds, six assists and one block across 32 minutes.
Mobley continues to roll for the Cavaliers and fantasy managers alike, scoring at least 18 points in his seventh game in a row. The All-Star big man has averaged 22.1 points, 11.0 rebounds, 3.4 assists and 1.7 blocks in 31.9 minutes per contest during that period, though he is shooting a dismal 43.6 percent from the free-throw line over this time.
