Mitchell Robinson (illness) out on Wednesday.
Mitchell Robinson (illness) out on Wednesday. We likely see Jericho Sims draw the spot start with Taj Gibson backing him up, but this is also a decent boost for Obi Toppin.

Sterling Brown (personal) out Wednesday. This isn’t impactful for DFS purposes.
As reported by: Mavs PR Royce O’Neale (thumb) now doubtful on Wednesday.
Royce O’Neale (thumb) now doubtful on Wednesday. with Conley and Mitchell already sitting, this is a spot where Danuel House should see extended run.
As reported by: Utah Jazz Thunder have signed Melvin Frazier Jr. to a two-way contract and have waived Olivier Sarr.
Thunder have signed Melvin Frazier Jr. to a two-way contract and have waived Olivier Sarr. Apparently Sarr was too good for the tanking Thunder.
As reported by: Joe Mussatto Other tagged players: Olivier Sarr James Johnson (illness) out on Wednesday.
James Johnson (illness) out on Wednesday. Expect Nic Claxton and LaMarcus Aldridge to fill his role in the second unit.
As reported by: Alex Schiffer Norman Powell (foot) expected to play on Wednesday.
Norman Powell (foot) expected to play on Wednesday. Powell is officially questionable but seems good to go tonight pending any setbacks during warmups. He likely shifts Nicolas Batum back to the bench and this makes the Clippers trickier to target for DFS.
As reported by: Adrian Wojnarowski Norman Powell (foot) questionable on Wednesday.
Norman Powell (foot) questionable on Wednesday. It’s unclear if Powell would slide right back into the starting lineup but if he does, Nicolas Batum could head back to the bench. Stay tuned here as the Clippers are starting to get fully healthy, providing a bit of a logjam for DFS purposes.
As reported by: Tomer Azarly Devin Booker (back), Deandre Ayton (ankle), Chris Paul (thumb) and Jae Crowder (ankle) all out on Wednesday.
Devin Booker (back), Deandre Ayton (ankle), Chris Paul (thumb) and Jae Crowder (ankle) all out on Wednesday. This leaves Mikal Bridges as the only starter left, and the Suns are going to now offer some salary relief. JaVale McGee, Cam Payne, Cam Johnson and Landry Shamet are now all candidates to spot start and havesome punt appeal.
As reported by: NBA Injury Report Other tagged players: Deandre Ayton, Chris Paul, Jae Crowder Donovan Mitchell (rest) and Mike Conley (knee) out on Wednesday; Trent Forrest (concussion) questionable.
Donovan Mitchell (rest) and Mike Conley (knee) out on Wednesday; Trent Forrest (concussion) questionable. It’s a bit surprising the Jazz aren’t resting more players against the tanking Thunder. This should allow Jordan Clarkson to start while Danuel House is a candidate to also join the starting lineup.
As reported by: Ben Anderson Other tagged players: Mike Conley, Trent Forrest Tre Mann (hamstring) listed out Wednesday; Georgios Kalaitzakis (leg) not listed on injury report
Tre Mann (hamstring) has been listed out for Wednesday’s game against the Utah Jazz, while Georgios Kalaitzakis (leg) was not listed on the injury report. The Thunder basically ran a 6 man rotation last night and could do something similar as they try to tank. It is impossible to know exactly what the Thunder will do on a night to night basis and there is only a small semblance of clarity after their starting lineup is released. Anyone that cracks the starting lineup at this time has a ceiling of over 40 minutes (not an exaggeration) while anyone that is slated to come off the bench has a floor of 0 minutes (again, not an exaggeration). In DFS contests it is probably only a good idea to play the value pieces for the Thunder that crack the starting lineup and avoid anyone coming off the bench.

Kyle Kuzma (knee) listed out Wednesday
Kyle Kuzma (knee) remains out for Wednesday’s game against the Atlanta Hawks. The Wizards are officially eliminated from making the play-in tournament at this point so it wouldn’t be surprising to see Kuzma not play the rest of the season. Rui Hachimura has taken his spot in the starting lineup and will likely remain there tonight as the Wizards look to limp across the finish line. Kristaps Porzingis should carry the bulk of the offensive load and can be considered in DFS contests on tonight’s slate.
As reported by: Official NBA Injury Report Bogdan Bogdanovic (knee) and Danilo Gallinari (knee) questionable Wednesday; Lou Williams (back) ruled out
Bogdan Bogdanovic (knee) and Danilo Gallinari (knee)have both been listed questionable for Wednesday’s game against the Washington Wizards, while Lou Williams (back) has been ruled out. Bogdanovic and Gallinari have been listed on the injury report for the Hawks last few games but Gallinari has been the only one that has regularly missed. This could change on the second night of a back to back but the Hawks are still fighting for play-in seeding so if both players are healthy enough they will likely try to gut it out. With Lou Williams ruled out, Delon Wright could see a few more backup guard minutes with Skylar Mays and/or Jalen Johnson entering the rotation.
