Eric Gordon (illness) out on Wednesday.
Eric Gordon (illness) out on Wednesday. This should provide Jalen Green and Kevin Porter Jr. a higher floor now.

Aaron Gordon (illness) available on Wednesday; Zeke Nnaji (knee) ruled out.
Aaron Gordon (illness) available on Wednesday; Zeke Nnaji (knee) ruled out. This isn’t too impactful for the full slate.
As reported by: Denver Nuggets Other tagged players: Zeke Nnaji Mavericks will start Doncic, Brunson, Dinwiddie, Finney-Smith and Powell on Wednesday.
Mavericks will start Doncic, Brunson, Dinwiddie, Finney-Smith and Powell on Wednesday. This is as expected, and Dinwiddie will stay in the starting lineup to replace Reggie Bullock, who is out.
As reported by: Eddie Sefko Cam Thomas (back) available on Wednesday.
Cam Thomas (back) available on Wednesday. Thomas will help bolster a Nets team missing Kyrie Irving and Seth Curry, but for the most part isn’t impactful on the main slate.
As reported by: Brooklyn Nets Blazers will start Williams, Hart, Winslow, Watford, and Eubanks on Wednesday; Winslow will be on a minutes restriction.
Blazers will start Williams, Hart, Winslow, Watford, and Eubanks on Wednesday; Winslow will be on a minutes restriction. Winslow will replace CJ Elleby in the starting lineup but isn’t in play for me given the minute restriction.
As reported by: Jay Allen Lamar Stevens will remain in the starting lineup on Wednesday; Caris LeVert available off the bench and remains on a minute restriction.
Lamar Stevens will remain in the starting lineup on Wednesday; Caris LeVert available off the bench and remains on a minute restriction. Stevens isn’t a DFS option on such a large slate, and it’s going to be hard to use LeVert for DFS purposes if he remains on a limitation (he played 25 minutes last game).
As reported by: Chris Fedor Other tagged players: Caris LeVert Justise Winslow (Achilles) available on Wednesday.
Justise Winslow (Achilles) available on Wednesday. It’s unclear if Winslow’s return will mean he’s back starting or coming off the bench, but it does take some shine off CJ Elleby and Trendon Watford.
As reported by: Travis Demers Seth Curry (ankle) out on Wednesday; Cam Thomas (back) is a game-time decision.
Seth Curry (ankle) out on Wednesday; Cam Thomas (back) is a game-time decision. With Curry out (and Kyrie Irving not playing), it’s likely we see Patty Mills draw the spot start. This is an even bigger boost for Kevin Durant, who will have free reign in this offense.
As reported by: Alex Schiffer Other tagged players: Cam Thomas Gary Trent (illness) now questionable on Wednesday.
Gary Trent (illness) now questionable on Wednesday. With Fred VanVleet also questionable and OG Anunoby still doubtful, the Raptors could be down a few playmakers. Trent’s potential absence should open up more of the offense for Scottie Barnes and Pascal Siakam, while it remains to be seen who would spot start for Trent.
As reported by: NBA Injury Report Cam Johnson (quad) out on Wednesday.
Cam Johnson (quad) out on Wednesday. This isn’t too surprising as Johnson continues to miss games, which has allowed Torrey Craig to take on a larger role in the second unit. The Suns have an elite matchup with the Rockets, who rank 2nd in pace and dead last in defensive efficiency.
As reported by: NBA Injury Report Trent Forrest (wrist) out on Wednesday.
Trent Forrest (wrist) out on Wednesday. With Bojan Bogdanovic, Danuel House and Udoka Azubuike also out, the Jazz are going to be thinner than normal. Expect Jordan Clarkson to see a larger role in the second unit while Eric Paschall is the most likely candidate to spot start tonight with Bogdanovic and House both out with injuries, although the Jazz could turn to Rudy Gay as he drew the start in the second half last game when House got hurt.
As reported by: Eric Walden Seth Curry (ankle) and Cam Thomas (back) both questionable on Wednesday.
Seth Curry (ankle) and Cam Thomas (back) both questionable on Wednesday. With Kyrie Irving also out due to personal reasons, this would leave the Nets even more short-handed than normal. With Curry and Thomas both out yesterday, we saw Goran Dragic start while Kessler Edwards played 25 minutes off the bench. Both should see an uptick in minutes if Curry and Thomas can’t go, while even more of the offense would flow through Kevin Durant.
As reported by: Alex Schiffer Other tagged players: Cam Thomas Nemanja Bjelica (illness) questionable on Wednesday.
Nemanja Bjelica (illness) questionable on Wednesday. If Bejlica can’t go, there may be more minutes for Otto Porter and Jonathan Kuminga, but this isn’t too impactful on the main slate with Draymond Green now back with the Warriors.
As reported by: NBA Injury Report Joel Embiid (back) questionable on Wednesday.
Joel Embiid (back) questionable on Wednesday. This is obviously unfortunate given it’s Embiid’s birthday, but in all seriousness, this would potentially shoot James Harden to one of the top plays of the slate if Embiid can’t suit up. CourtIQ shows that when Embiid has been off the court this season, Harden has averaged 1.66 fantasy points per minute with a 34.9% usage rate (albeit in a small 85 minute sample). DeAndre Jordan could also be asked to spot start.
As reported by: NBA Injury Report Lineup Update: Pelicans will start Graham, McCollum, Jones, Hayes, Valanciunas on Tuesday
Lineup Update: Pelicans will start Graham, McCollum, Jones, Hayes, Valanciunas on Tuesday. With McCollum back, Naji Marshall will return to his role on the bench while Devonte’ Graham will remain a member of the starting lineup. This should lead to Graham playing a few more minutes for the Pelicans while Marshall should play a few less. Both should still play a significant role for New Orleans though.
