Fred VanVleet (knee) ruled out on Wednesday.
Fred VanVleet (knee) ruled out on Wednesday. This isn’t surprising considering he missed shootaround. Reports say Khem Birch is likely to start in his place.

Thunder will start Mann, Giddey, Wiggins, Bazley, and Roby on Wednesday.
Thunder will start Mann, Giddey, Wiggins, Bazley, and Roby on Wednesday. This is the same group of starters as last game and makes Aaron Wiggins viable again on DK as a $3,000 punt.
As reported by: Paul Garcia Javonte Green (ankle) available on Wednesday.
Javonte Green (ankle) available on Wednesday. Green was initially questionable but didn’t seem to be in any danger of missing tonight’s game. His presence doesn’t really impact the main slate much.
As reported by: Cody Westerlund Anthony Edwards remains a game-time call on Wednesday.
Anthony Edwards remains a game-time call on Wednesday. It’s a bit of a surprise he’s even going to try to play given his injury last night, but we’ll see what the Timberwolves do. If he’s out, it would make McDaniels, KAT and Russell so much stronger plays.
As reported by: Chris Hine Bogdan Bogdanovic (ankle) available on Wednesday.
Bogdan Bogdanovic (ankle) available on Wednesday. This doesn’t move the needle too much as we weren’t going to be targeting the Hawks second unit anyway. Even Bogdanovic himself is a thin GPP play on this large slate.
As reported by: Sarah Spencer Grant Williams will start for Robert Williams on Wednesday.
Grant Williams will start for Robert Williams on Wednesday. This is as expected.
As reported by: Keith Smith Derrick White will start for Marcus Smart on Wednesday.
Derrick White will start for Marcus Smart on Wednesday. This is as expected as White started the second half of yesterday’s game for Smart. It’ll give White a healthier floor and some GPP appeal.
As reported by: Jared Weiss Marcus Smart and Robert Williams both out on Wednesday.
Marcus Smart and Robert Williams both out on Wednesday. This is as expected as both were downgraded to doubtful this morning. Grant Williams and Derrick White are expected to start in their places.
As reported by: Jay King Other tagged players: Robert Williams III Knicks to start Walker, Grimes, Fournier, Randle and Robinson on Wednesday.
Knicks to start Walker, Grimes, Fournier, Randle and Robinson on Wednesday. This is as expected, with RJ Barrett and Nerlens Noel still out.
As reported by: Stefan Bondy Cole Anthony (ankle) available on Wednesday.
Cole Anthony (ankle) available on Wednesday. So much for a potential Gary Harris spot start. His absence would’ve helped boost the usage of Terrence Ross, Franz Wagner and Jalen Suggs, but looks like Anthony is good to go tonight.
As reported by: Khobi Price Cole Anthony (ankle) now questionable on Wednesday.
Cole Anthony (ankle) now questionable on Wednesday. It’s never a great sign when there’s a mid-day downgrade. CourtIQ shows Terrence Ross, Jalen Suggs and Franz Wagner have all received 1%-2% usage bumps with Anthony off the court this season. If Anthony can’t go tonight, my guess is Gary Harris would draw the spot start.
As reported by: NBA Injury Report Monte Morris (concussion protocol) available on Wednesday.
Monte Morris (concussion protocol) available on Wednesday. With Morris back, we likely see Bones Hyland move back to the bench. This would make both Hyland and Facundo Campazzo less appealing plays against the Warriors, as their roles and minutes should be cut with Morris back.
As reported by: Mike Singer Kevin Porter Jr. (illness), Christian Wood (illness) and Dennis Schroder (Achilles) all questionable on Wednesday.
Kevin Porter Jr. (illness), Christian Wood (illness) and Dennis Schroder (Achilles) all questionable on Wednesday. This is a lot to take in as one or more of them being out would dramatically change their team. If Wood can’t go, Alperen Sengun is a candidate to rejoin the starting lineup. If Porter Jr. can’t go, Josh Christopher and Garrison Mathews are candidates to get a spot start. If Schroder is out, more of the second unit usage would flow to Christopher, Mathews and Tate. Stay tuned here.
Other tagged players: Christian Wood, Dennis Schroder Yves Pons (thigh) and Xavier Tillman (thigh) both out on Wednesday.
Yves Pons (thigh) and Xavier Tillman (thigh) both out on Wednesday. There’s no DFS impact here on such a big slate.
As reported by: Grizzlies PR Other tagged players: Xavier Tillman Ja Morant (ankle) questionable on Wednesday.
Ja Morant (ankle) questionable on Wednesday. If Morant can’t suit up, Tyus Jones should find himself in another spot start and would be an elite play in all formats at near minimum salary.
