Brandon Williams PG | DAL
Mavericks' Brandon Williams: Ruled out Wednesday
Williams (concussion) is out for Wednesday's game against the Hawks.
Williams was unable to shake his doubtful tag for this contest. With this news, Max Christie and Ryan Nembhard could be a bit more involved for Dallas.

Aaron Gordon PF | DEN
Nuggets' Aaron Gordon: Taking seat Wednesday
Gordon is listed out for Wednesday's game against the Grizzlies due to right hamstring injury management.
Gordon will rest up for the second leg of a back-to-back set after posting 12 points, five rebounds, two assists and one steal in 19 minutes during Tuesday's blowout win over the 76ers. Presumably, Gordon will be back in action Friday against Toronto.

Darius Garland PG | LAC
Clippers' Darius Garland: Will play Wednesday
Garland (toe) will play in Wednesday's game against the Pelicans, per Law Murray of The Athletic.
Wednesday is the first half of a back-to-back set with New Orleans, so Garland's presence might mean a maintenance day is coming Thursday. The star guard has averaged 19.9 points, 6.6 assists, 2.4 rebounds, 1.1 steals and 3.7 three-pointers in 27.0 minutes per game over seven contests for the Clippers so far, shooting 46.4 percent from deep.

Nicolas Batum PF | LAC
Clippers' Nicolas Batum: May be rested
Batum (rest) is questionable for Wednesday's game against the Pelicans, Law Murray of The Athletic reports.
Wednesday's game is the front end of a back-to-back set, so the Clippers are likely eyeing a maintenance day for the veteran during one of the next two games. Kobe Sanders could become more involved if Batum is ultimately held out.

Cade Cunningham SG | DET
Pistons' Cade Cunningham: Sits out practice
Cunningham (back) didn't practice Wednesday, Omari Sankofa II of the Detroit Free Press reports.
Cunningham exited in the first quarter of Tuesday's 130-117 win over the Wizards due to back spasms, and he's still bothered by the injury a day later. Until the Pistons release an official injury report ahead of Thursday's rematch with Washington, the two-time All-Star point guard can be tentatively deemed questionable for that contest.

Jaylen Clark SG | MIN
Timberwolves' Jaylen Clark: Questionable with calf soreness
Clark is questionable for Wednesday's game against Utah due to right calf soreness.
Clark is in danger of being out for the second half of this back-to-back set. However, he hasn't seen any playing time in two of Minnesota's last three contests, suggesting Clark is a negligible part of the rotation for now.
-
Naz Reid C | MIN
Timberwolves' Naz Reid: Iffy for Wednesday
Reid is questionable for Wednesday's game against the Jazz with a right ankle sprain.
Reid picked up an ankle sprain Tuesday against the Suns, but he was able to return to the game. If he's unable to give it a go, the Timberwolves may rely more on Kyle Anderson in the frontcourt.
-
Branden Carlson C | OKC
Thunder's Branden Carlson: Absence streak to continue
Carlson (back) is out for Wednesday's game against the Nets.
Carlson will miss a 10th consecutive contest due to a back strain. The second-year big man appears to have no timetable for a return, but his next chance to play comes Saturday in Washington against the Wizards.
-
Chet Holmgren PF | OKC
Thunder's Chet Holmgren: Listed as questionable
Holmgren is questionable for Wednesday's game against the Nets with a bruised left hip.
The Thunder could take a cautious approach with the All-Star big man versus an inferior opponent, but they may need Holmgren, as Isaiah Hartenstein (rest) is sitting out the second night of a back-to-back set. Jaylin Williams and Aaron Wiggins could both work their way into the streaming mix in most fantasy leagues Wednesday.
