Avdija (back) is questionable for Wednesday's game against the Grizzlies.

Avdija is still managing a lower-back injury and is in danger of missing a fifth consecutive contest. If the star forward is ultimately ruled out, Sidy Cissoko and Vit Krejci would be candidates to see increased minutes, especially if Kris Murray (illness) is downgraded from questionable to out.

Murray (illness) is listed as questionable for Wednesday's game against the Grizzlies.

Murray departed Sunday's matchup early due to an illness, and he's now in danger of missing additional game action. The team will presumably re-evaluate the Iowa product leading up to Wednesday's tipoff before providing another update on his status.

Carter (ankle) has been ruled out for Tuesday's game against the Wizards, Jason Beede of the Orlando Sentinel reports.

Carter was a late addition to the injury report due to left ankle soreness and will miss his first game since Jan. 11. With the big man sidelined, Moritz Wagner and Jonathan Isaac are candidates for increased minutes, while Goga Bitadze could enter the rotation. Carter's next opportunity to play will come Thursday against Dallas.

Barnes is now questionable for Tuesday's game against the 76ers due to left ankle soreness.

Barnes didn't have an injury designation heading into Tuesday, but the team added him to the injury report approximately two hours before tipoff. He'll likely need to test his ankle during pregame warmups before another update is provided.

Wade is out for Tuesday's game against the Pistons with a sprained right ankle.

The 29-year-old forward will be looking to end a three-game absence Sunday, when the Cavaliers face the Celtics. Wade's absence Tuesday should keep Jaylon Tyson in the starting lineup at small forward, making the latter an appealing streaming option in the majority of fantasy leagues.

Edwards is questionable for Tuesday's game against the Grizzlies due to right foot injury maintenance.

Edwards was a late addition to the injury report Tuesday and may get the night off after appearing in 14 straight games. Over that stretch, the superstar has averaged 28.9 points, 5.1 rebounds, 3.9 assists and 1.6 steals in 37.0 minutes per game. If he's ultimately ruled out for Tuesday's contest, Bones Hyland and Ayo Dosunmu would be candidates for increased roles, while Terrence Shannon could enter the rotation.

Mitchell (shoulder) is available for Tuesday's game against Brooklyn, Ira Winderman of the South Florida Sun Sentinel reports.

Mitchell was added to the injury report ahead of Tuesday's clash due to a bruised left shoulder, but it won't force him to miss any action. The Baylor product will look to begin March on a high note after averaging 8.4 points, 2.6 rebounds and 5.7 assists over 10 February appearances.

Thompson has been ruled out for Tuesday's game against the Hornets due to a right adductor contusion.

Thompson will be held out of Tuesday's contest after picking up the adductor injury in Sunday's loss to the Thunder. His next opportunity to play will come Thursday against Orlando. In the meantime, Caleb Martin, Khris Middleton and AJ Johnson are candidates to see an uptick in minutes.

Martin (back) is available for Tuesday's game against the Hornets.

Martin is becoming a mainstay on the Dallas injury report, but he'll shed his probable tag due to lower-back soreness Tuesday. With P.J. Washington (ankle) returning to action, Martin might be heading to the bench. Over his last five outings as a reserve, Martin has averaged 4.0 points, 3.2 rebounds, 1.8 assists and 1.2 steals in 16.5 minutes per game.

Washington (ankle) is available for Tuesday's game against the Hornets.

Washington will make his return to the hardwood after missing the last three matchups with a left ankle sprain. He should slot right back in with the first unit Tuesday, which would bump Caleb Martin to a bench role.
