Westbrook (quadriceps) is out for Wednesday's game against Charlotte.

Westbrook is dealing with a contusion and will miss the second leg of this back-to-back set. Devin Carter (calf) and Malik Monk (ankle) are also out, so the Kings will likely need to rely heavily on Nique Clifford and Killian Hayes.

Dosunmu has a right thumb sprain and is questionable for Wednesday's game against the Clippers.

This is a new issue for Dosunmu, putting his status for the second leg of this back-to-back set in jeopardy. If Dosunmu is unable to give it a go, the Timberwolves could lean more on Bones Hyland.

McDaniels registered six points (3-9 FG, 0-5 3Pt), two rebounds and one steal over 26 minutes during Tuesday's 120-106 loss to the Lakers.

This was a dud by McDaniels' standards, but his fantasy managers can just chalk it up to an off night. Overall this season, McDaniels holds averages of 14.7 points, 4.3 rebounds, 2.8 assists, 1.1 steals, 1.1 blocks and 1.4 three-pointers.

Curry (knee) is expected to miss at least 10 more days, per Shams Charania of ESPN on Wednesday.

The superstar guard has started on-court workouts and is hoping to ramp up his activity soon, but the timeline for a return from his right knee injury likely rules him out for at least Golden State's next six contests. With Curry on the shelf, the Warriors will continue to ask more out of Brandin Podziemski, Pat Spencer, Gary Payton, Will Richard and LJ Cryer at point guard.

James contributed 11 points (2-3 FG, 2-3 3Pt, 5-6 FT), seven rebounds, one assist and one block over 24 minutes during Tuesday's 103-101 win over the Trail Blazers.

James put together a solid line Tuesday as the Hornets improved to 33-33 on the season. The rookie had scored a combined 12 points in his previous three games, so he's got some work to do to get back onto the fantasy radar.

Kalkbrenner closed with 13 points (6-8 FG, 0-1 3Pt, 1-2 FT), six rebounds, one assist and two blocks in 17 minutes during Tuesday's 103-101 win over Portland.

This was a strong showing for the rookie, but his workload again paled in comparison to Moussa Diabate. Until this position battle shifts towards Kalkbrenner, he's going to remain a deep-league fantasy option at best.

Miller totaled 23 points (7-18 FG, 3-7 3Pt, 6-6 FT), nine rebounds, four assists and three steals in 37 minutes during Tuesday's 103-101 victory over the Trail Blazers.

Miller continues to play at a high level for the surging Hornets. Over his last seven games, he's averaging 21.4 points, 8.0 rebounds, 3.4 assists, 1.4 steals and 3.4 three-pointers in 29.9 minutes per game.

Cryer chipped in 17 points (4-7 FG, 3-5 3Pt, 6-7 FT), one rebound and two assists in 21 minutes during Tuesday's 130-124 overtime loss to the Bulls.

Cryer continues to make a strong impression for the Warriors as the team struggles with injuries. Over his last four games, he's averaging 11.5 points, 2.8 rebounds and 1.3 assists.

Hardy provided 17 points (5-12 FG, 3-8 3Pt, 4-4 FT), one rebound and one block over 23 minutes during Tuesday's 150-129 loss to Miami.

Hardy is carving out a decent role with the Wizards and should continue to battle with Sharife Cooper for backcourt reserve minutes. Hardy has scored in double figures in all but one of his 10 outings with Washington, averaging 12.8 points, 2.0 rebounds, 0.8 assists and 2.0 three-pointers in 19.7 minutes per game.

Jenkins logged 14 points (4-10 FG, 1-2 3Pt, 5-5 FT), three rebounds, six assists and five steals over 22 minutes during Tuesday's 138-100 win over the Nets.

Jenkins tallied a season-high five steals Tuesday. While his fantasy upside remains capped when Cade Cunningham is healthy, Jenkins is taking advantage of extra minutes while Ausar Thompson (ankle) and Caris LeVert (wrist) are sidelined. Over his last six outings (one start), Jenkins averaged 6.0 points, 3.2 assists, 1.7 steals and 1.5 rebounds in 18.3 minutes per game.
