Anthony (not with team) has been ruled out for Thursday's game against the Lakers, Duane Rankin of The Arizona Republic reports.

Anthony continues to be away from the Suns after being traded by the Bucks on Feb. 5. His next chance to play is Tuesday against the Kings, though there's no indication that he'll suit up for Phoenix in the near future.

Wiggins is part of the starting lineup for Wednesday's game against the Pistons, Justin Martinez of The Oklahoman reports.

Wiggins will step into the first unit for the short-handed Thunder on Wednesday. In 16 starts this season, Wiggins is averaging 13.4 points, 4.6 rebounds, 2.3 assists and 1.5 steals over 28.5 minutes.

Williams is in the Thunder's starting lineup against the Pistons on Wednesday, Justin Martinez of The Oklahoman reports.

With Isaiah Hartenstein (calf) sidelined, Williams will enter the Thunder's starting five alongside Cason Wallace, Isaiah Joe, Aaron Wiggins and Luguentz Dort. It'll be Williams' ninth start of the season, with his last taking place in a 116-106 loss to the Spurs on Feb. 4, when he recorded 24 points ,12 rebounds, four assists and two blocks over 40 minutes.

Richard is starting Wednesday's game against the Grizzlies.

Stephen Curry (knee) and De'Anthony Melton (knee) are out Wednesday, opening a path for Richard to make his 16th start of the campaign. The rookie guard is averaging 8.7 points, 3.5 rebounds, 1.7 assists and 1.1 steals across 22.5 minutes as a starter this season.

Spencer is not in the Warriors' starting lineup against the Grizzlies on Wednesday.

Spencer has started in each of the Warriors' last seven games, though he has failed to score double-digit points over his last four outings and has connected on just 32.1 percent of his field-goal attempts in that span. With Spencer coming off the bench, Golden State will roll with a starting five of Brandin Podziemski, Will Richard, Moses Moody, Gui Santos and Al Horford on Wednesday.

Podziemski is part of the starting lineup for Wednesday's game against Memphis.

Podziemski will make his 20th start of the season for Golden State, as the Warriors deal with a slew of injuries. As a starter, Podziemski is averaging 12.4 points, 5.2 rebounds, 4.2 assists and 1.1 steals across 28.9 minutes.

Horford is in the Warriors' starting lineup against the Grizzlies on Wednesday.

Horford will be in the Warriors' starting five for the second time in three games due to the absence of Draymond Green (back). In his last start against the Nuggets on Sunday, Horford recorded 22 points, seven assists, one rebound, three steals and two blocks over 27 minutes in a 128-117 win.

Hayes (ankle) is probable for Thursday's game against Phoenix, Trevor Lane of LakersNation.com reports.

Hayes is on track to return from a one-game absence because of a right ankle sprain. The 25-year-old center is averaging 6.8 points and 3.8 rebounds across 17.3 minutes per game this season. His return could mean fewer opportunities for Maxi Kleber and Jarred Vanderbilt.

Hachimura is questionable for Thursday's game in Phoenix due to an illness.

Hachimura is feeling under the weather, and he could miss Thursday's game. If Hachimura is forced to the sidelines, that would open up minutes for Jake LaRavia and Jarred Vanderbilt.

Carter (back) is available for Wednesday's game against the Rockets.

Carter has been cleared to return from a one-game absence due to lower-back soreness. He has averaged 22.9 minutes per game across eight outings (one start) since Feb. 1 and has stepped into a more prominent role in the Kings' rotation in the absence of Zach LaVine (finger) and De'Andre Hunter (eye).
