Bradley Beal, Marcin Gortat, and Markieff Morris ruled out
Bradley Beal will end the season with an injured pelvis. Marcin Gortat and Markieff Morris are being rested and are also done for the year with the Wizards out of the playoffs.

Wizards starters: Sessions, Thornton, Porter, Dudley and Nene.
Ramon Sessions and Marcus Thornton should be considered high-upside tournament plays tonight. Both players will likely play over 30 minutes for the third consecutive game. With the ball being in their hands so much both players have massive upside. Sessions asking price has spiked over $5k on DraftKings making his potential upside a little less. Thornton is still under $4k on DraftKings, making him a nice tournament option.

The Pistons will be resting all their starters against the Cavs tonight. Steve Blake has the ability to fill it up be he will be hounded by MMatthew Dellavedova all game, limiting his upside. This game does not have much fantasy appeal and should be avoided on the Pistons side.

The Raptors will roll out their B-team with the number 2 seed in the playoffs locked up. Norman Powell has the highest ceiling because he is a normal starter. All the other players are GPP dart throws with limited upside. Expect Powell to play 32-36 minutes on Wednesday.

Mike Miller may start against the Blazers on Wednesday. He is not a viable DFS option and could send JaKarr Sampson to the bench. We should have an update later with the Nuggets playing in the second wave of games.
As reported by: Chris Dempsey Other tagged players: JaKarr Sampson Kyrie Irving (rest) officially ruled out
Kyrie Irving will officially not play on Wednesday. Matthew Dellavedova becomes an elite value play but with so many options available he is not a mandatory start. We should have an update soon on the Cavaliers starters.
As reported by: Tom Withers Other tagged players: Matthew Dellavedova Justise Winslow says he'll play Wednesday
Winslow should be expected to take on his normal role with the Heat having motivation to win (they control their own destiny in terms of playoff seeding). He’s not a DFS option tonight given the dearth of value available elsewhere, and we shouldn’t count on him to see upwards of 26-28 minutes anyway. Gerald Green would stand to benefit if Winslow is at all limited.

Pacers starters: Lawson, Stuckey, S. Hill, Allen, and Turner
Myles Turner, Ty Lawson and Rodney Stuckey are all strong value options tonight with four of the five Indiana starters resting. Both Lawson and Stuckey are priced near the minimum on most sites and with no real backups behind them, it’s likely they see the large majority of the minutes at the guard spots. Turner does carry some risk as the Pacers could choose to go a bit easier on him in order to have him fresh for the playoffs, but he doesn’t have much mileage on him at this point in the year.
As reported by: BucksPR Other tagged players: Rodney Stuckey, Solomon Hill, Lavoy Allen, Myles Turner Kyrie Irving (rest) now unlikely to play tonight
This was the likely scenario all day as the Cavs really have no motive to take a chance with Irving, especially considering Detroit is also resting their starters. Matthew Dellavedova should take the reins at PG, but he doesn’t have a ton of intrigue given the number of stronger value options on the board.
As reported by: Jason Lloyd Other tagged players: Matthew Dellavedova Pacers resting: Paul George, Monta Ellis, George Hill, Ian Mahinmi
The Pacers will rest four of their five starters tonight with nothing on the line in terms of playoff seeding. Myles Turner will remain in the starting lineup, with Ty Lawson, Rodney Stuckey, Solomon Hill and Lavoy Allen rounding things out.
As reported by: Jeremiah Johnson Other tagged players: Monta Ellis, George Hill, Ian Mahinmi Justise Winslow and Udonis Haslem will warm up with the intent to play
Winslow and Haslem will try to play against the Celtics tonight. Both players are not considered viable option since the Heat will go with their normal starting five. Dragic, Wade, Johnson, Deng, and Whiteside are the starters.
As reported by: @MiamiHeat Other tagged players: Udonis Haslem, Dwyane Wade, Goran Dragic, Luol Deng, Joe Johnson, Hassan Whiteside Nikola Vucevic to start on Wednesday; Aaron Gordon to come off the bench
Nikola Vucevic will return to the starting lineup after missing one game. Vucevic is a solid option against the Hornets but does not have a ton of upside with his price spiking back to $7,700 on DraftKings. Aaron Gordon will come off the bench is also not a strong DFS candidate today with Ersan Ilyasova starting.
As reported by: Joshua Robbins Other tagged players: Aaron Gordon, Ersan Ilyasova Pistons to rest Kentavious Caldwell-Pope, Marcus Morris, Tobias Harris, Reggie Jackson, and Andre Drummond tonight
KCP, Morris, Harris, Jackson, and Drummond will not play against the Cavs on Wednesday. They already have the 8th seed locked up in the playoffs and will play the Cavaliers. Their replacements have not been named yet so we should have another update soon.
As reported by: Tom Withers Other tagged players: Kentavious Caldwell-Pope, Marcus Morris, Tobias Harris, Reggie Jackson Justise Winslow (ankle) hopeful to play on Wednesday
Winslow hopes he can play against Celtics tonight. He will come off the bench but is a risky option and only has value if other Heat players end up getting ruled out. Look for an update soon on Winslow.
As reported by: Ira Winderman Kyrie Irving to be active tonight; undetermined if he will play
Kyrie Irving is expected to dress and could play tonight. Nothing official has come in but we should have an update soon on this situation.
