Christian Wood, Danuel House Jr. Out Wednesday

Houston Rockets center Christian Wood (ankle) and forward Danuel House Jr. (ankle) have been ruled out for Wednesday's game against the Los Angeles Lakers.

Boston Celtics center Robert Williams III (toe) did not suit up on Wednesday and is likely to miss the last few regular season games.

J.J. Redick Done For The Rest Of The Regular Season

Dallas Mavericks guard J.J. Redick (heel) will be shut down until the postseason next week. The team is uncertain if he'll be ready to play in the playoffs, but he isn't a huge part of the Mavs rotation. The veteran guard is a nice source of triples off the bench, but won't make or break […]

Los Angeles Lakers guard Alex Caruso (foot) has been ruled out for Wednesday's game against the Houston Rockets.
