Wiggins is in the starting lineup for Wednesday's matchup with the Nets, Rylan Stiles of SI.com reports.

Joining Wiggins in the first unit for Wednesday's game will be Shai Gilgeous-Alexander, Ajay Mitchell, Cason Wallace and Chet Holmgren. As a starter this season, Wiggins has posted averages of 14.0 points, 4.7 rebounds, 2.6 assists, 2.3 triples and 1.6 steals per contest on 43/39/79 shooting splits.

Slawson is part of the first unit for Wednesday's game against Portland, Tony East of Forbes.com reports.

Slawson will make his second career start after making his starting debut Sunday. In his last three appearances, Slawson is averaging 7.0 points, 4.3 rebounds, 2.7 assists, 2.3 steals and 1.7 blocks across 27 minutes.

Wallace will start Wednesday's game against the Nets, Rylan Stiles of SI.com reports.

With Luguentz Dort (rest) sitting out the second leg of this back-to-back, Wallace will rejoin the first unit. As a starter this season (54 games), the 22-year-old guard has averaged 9.3 points, 3.2 rebounds, 3.0 assists and 2.1 steals in 27.8 minutes per contest.

Eubanks underwent successful surgery to repair a torn UCL in his left thumb Wednesday and will miss the remainder of the season, Sean Cunningham of Fox 40 Sacramento reports.

Eubanks will end his 2025-26 campaign with averages of 5.2 points and 3.0 rebounds per game. The 28-year-old big man should be healthy by training camp next season, but he'll be looking for a new contract as a free agent this summer.

Brown isn't part of the starting lineup for Wednesday's game against Portland, Tony East of Forbes.com reports.

Brown had started in three of Indiana's past four games, but he'll take a seat Wednesday evening. Instead, Jalen Slawson will draw the start. Despite his reserve status, expect Brown to see plenty of run.

Williams will come off the bench for Wednesday's game against Oklahoma City, C.J. Holmes of the New York Daily News reports.

Williams will come off the bench after making back-to-back starts. He played 21 and 20 minutes in those starts, respectively. Brooklyn will trot out a first unit of Nolan Traore, Drake Powell, Danny Wolf, Noah Clowney and Nic Claxton.

Nembhard (calf) has been ruled out for Wednesday's game against Portland.

Nembhard will miss a third consecutive contest due to a right calf contusion, and his next opportunity to suit up will come in San Antonio on Saturday. With the 26-year-old guard sidelined, T.J. McConnell is in line to draw another start, while Kam Jones, Quenton Jackson and Taelon Peter are all candidates to see increased playing time.

Potter (triceps) has been downgraded to out for Wednesday's game against Portland.

Potter will miss a second straight game due to a strained right triceps. The 27-year-old's next chance to play will come Saturday at San Antonio. In the meantime, Jay Huff, Kobe Brown and Jarace Walker could see more action.

Martin (foot) has been ruled out for Wednesday's game against the Hawks.

Martin will miss a second consecutive contest due to right foot soreness, and his next chance to play will come Saturday against the Clippers. With the 30-year-old forward sidelined, Khris Middleton, Klay Thompson and Max Christie are all candidates to see a slight bump in minutes.

Kuminga (knee) is available for Wednesday's game in Dallas, Brad Rowland of the Locked On Podcast Network reports.

Kuminga has been in a shooting funk over the past two games, shooting just 2-for-11 from the floor, but maybe he'll be able to get things back on track against a Dallas team that ranks 25th in defensive efficiency. With Kuminga active, Zaccharie Risacher's role in the rotation is less certain.
