Dejounte Murray Off the Injury Report for Wednesday
New Orleans Pelicans guard Dejounte Murray (personal) is off the injury report for Wednesday's game against the Utah Jazz after missing the last three contests following the birth of his son. The 30-year-old is averaging 17.8 points, 5.8 rebounds, 6.0 assists, and 2.0 steals in 32.3 minutes through four appearances. Murray's return should push Herbert Jones back to the bench and take some of the playmaking burden off Jeremiah Fears, who handed out 13 assists against Sacramento last week. Jordan Poole (ankle) is also probable, so Fears could see his touches come down with New Orleans getting healthier in the backcourt.

Peyton Watson Ruled Out Again on Wednesday
Cleveland Cavaliers forward Peyton Watson (hamstring) will miss a second straight game Wednesday against the Oklahoma City Thunder. Watson dealt with the same hamstring last season, when a strain and later aggravation kept him out for stretches and sidelined him for Denver's entire first-round playoff series. The 24-year-old is averaging 10.8 points, 4.0 rebounds, 3.0 assists, and 1.8 blocks through six starts, though he has made just four of 24 attempts from deep. Meleek Thomas scored 17 points in his first career start Monday and could remain in the starting mix while Watson and Jaylon Tyson (ankle) are out.

Coby White Likely Available on Wednesday
Charlotte Hornets guard Coby White (calf) is probable for Wednesday's game against the Brooklyn Nets due to injury management. White made his season debut Monday after missing the first seven games, finishing with seven points and three assists in 16 minutes against Detroit while playing under a restriction. His workload should gradually increase, which keeps Dennis Schroder involved off the bench for now. Kon Knueppel (hamstring) is also probable to debut Wednesday, giving Charlotte another scoring option alongside White, who remains the Hornets' primary ball-handler following LaMelo Ball's offseason departure.

Jalen Johnson Questionable for Wednesday Against the Wizards
Atlanta Hawks forward Jalen Johnson (ankle) is questionable for Wednesday's game against the Washington Wizards after sitting out Monday's win over Indiana. Johnson sprained his ankle Saturday against New Orleans and is averaging 18.3 points, 9.0 rebounds, and 7.9 assists while shooting 42.1 percent through seven games. CJ McCollum took on more of the playmaking Monday and handed out 12 assists, while Luguentz Dort stepped into the starting lineup and knocked down four threes on his way to 14 points. If Johnson sits again, McCollum should remain heavily involved as a creator, with Dort a strong candidate to stay in the first unit.

Kon Knueppel Upgraded to Probable Versus Nets
Charlotte Hornets guard/forward Kon Knueppel (hamstring) is probable to make his season debut Wednesday against the Brooklyn Nets. The 21-year-old has missed Charlotte's first eight games after suffering a hamstring strain during offseason workouts. Knueppel averaged 18.5 points, 5.3 rebounds, and 3.4 assists as a rookie while becoming the first first-year player to lead the NBA in three-pointers with 273. Charlotte may ease him back after the long layoff, but his return gives the offense another proven shooter alongside Brandon Miller. Sion James could move back to the bench once Knueppel rejoins the starting group.

Josh Hart Questionable for Wednesday
New York Knicks guard/forward Josh Hart (ankle) is questionable for Wednesday's game against the Chicago Bulls with soreness. Hart finished Monday's win over Brooklyn with eight points, six rebounds, seven assists, and three steals in 27 minutes before fouling out. The 31-year-old has scored in single digits in four straight games, but he is still averaging 7.3 rebounds and 2.1 steals through seven appearances. If Hart sits, Landry Shamet and Miles McBride would both be candidates to enter the starting lineup, with Shamet coming off a season-high 22 points Monday.

Alexandre Sarr Could Miss Second Straight Game
Washington Wizards center Alexandre Sarr (knee) is questionable for Wednesday's game against the Atlanta Hawks after missing Monday's win over Orlando. The 21-year-old is averaging 9.3 points, 5.5 rebounds and 1.0 blocks in 25.3 minutes through six appearances, down from 16.3 points and 2.0 blocks last season. Deandre Ayton started in Sarr's place Monday and would be a strong candidate to do so again if Sarr remains sidelined. With Anthony Gill (back) questionable and Tristan Vukcevic (hip) out, Ayton could continue seeing added frontcourt minutes.

Payton Pritchard Questionable for Wednesday Versus Bucks
Boston Celtics guard Payton Pritchard (shoulder) is questionable for Wednesday's game against the Milwaukee Bucks with a contusion. The 28-year-old played through the issue Monday in Houston but struggled, finishing with four points on 0-for-7 shooting in 30 minutes. Pritchard is averaging 13.4 points and 3.4 assists off the bench while shooting 31.0 percent from three. With Jayson Tatum (rest) also questionable and Devin Carter (illness) out, Derrick White could take on more ball-handling if Pritchard sits, while Baylor Scheierman could also pick up additional minutes.

Jayson Tatum Could Be Rested On Wednesday
Boston Celtics forward Jayson Tatum (rest) is listed as questionable for Wednesday's game against the Milwaukee Bucks. Tatum could be rested as the Celtics are in the midst of an eight-game stretch in the span of 13 days. Tatum is averaging 27.0 points, 6.0 rebounds, and 7.9 assists per game this season. His absence would leave a big scoring void in the Celtics' lineup.

Jalen Smith Probable Against Knicks On Wednesday
Chicago Bulls forward/center Jalen Smith (finger) is probable with a left-finger sprain against the New York Knicks on Wednesday. Smith looks like he will play through the injury to his finger, but he could see his playing time restricted if Nic Claxton (questionable, hamstring) returns to the lineup. Claxton returning would likely push Smith to a bench role. Smith is averaging 12.1 points, 8.6 rebounds, and 2.0 assists so far this season.

Nic Claxton Listed As Questionable For Wednesday's Game
Chicago Bulls forward Nic Claxton (hamstring) is listed as questionable with a left-hamstring strain for Wednesday's game against the New York Knicks. Claxton has yet to suit up for the Bulls this season. He has returned to practice, but his status for playing in a game is still up in the air for Wednesday's game. This is his first questionable tag of the young 2026-27 season.

Shai Gilgeous-Alexander Pours in Season-High 43 Points
Oklahoma City Thunder guard Shai Gilgeous-Alexander poured in a season-high 43 points in Monday's 117-112 win over the Cleveland Cavaliers, adding three rebounds, eight assists, two steals, and one block in 38 minutes. He shot 14-for-35 from the field and buried the go-ahead three with 32.6 seconds remaining. The 35 attempts matched a career high as Oklahoma City leaned heavily on him with Jalen Williams (leg), Chet Holmgren (knee), Cason Wallace (shoulder), and Alex Caruso (ankle) sidelined. With several key pieces still unavailable, Gilgeous-Alexander should continue carrying a massive offensive workload in Wednesday's rematch with Cleveland.

He shot 14-for-22 from the field and 5-for-6 from three, scoring Memphis' final nine points of regulation to force overtime. It was Jerome's second 40-point effort of the season after dropping a career-high 45 in the opener. He is averaging 28.2 points and 5.7 assists through six appearances and remains the focal point of Memphis' offense heading into Wednesday's matchup with Indiana.

Los Angeles Lakers guard Luka Doncic poured in 42 points, seven rebounds, 13 assists, and two steals in Monday's 138-117 win over the Miami Heat. He shot 14-for-24 from the field and knocked down six threes, doing the damage on the second night of a back-to-back. It marked Doncic's 19th career game with at least 40 points, 10 assists, and five three-pointers, the most in NBA history. He is now averaging 43.4 points over his last five games and remains the clear engine of the Lakers' offense heading into Wednesday's matchup with Sacramento.

Dalen Terry Agrees to Two-Year Deal with Thunder
Free-agent guard/forward Dalen Terry has agreed to a two-year deal with the Oklahoma City Thunder, according to ESPN's Shams Charania. The former No. 18 overall pick spent training camp with Golden State before being waived in October and now gives a depleted Thunder roster another perimeter option. Jalen Williams (leg) and Cason Wallace (shoulder) are out long-term following surgery, while Alex Caruso (ankle) has also been sidelined. Terry averaged 4.1 points, 1.6 rebounds, and 1.6 assists in 12.4 minutes across 14 games with Philadelphia last season. He may get a chance to crack the rotation while Oklahoma City is short-handed, but Ajay Mitchell and Jared McCain remain ahead of him for fantasy purposes.

Draymond Green Tossed in Third Quarter Against Phoenix
Golden State Warriors forward/center Draymond Green was ejected early in the third quarter of Monday's 116-113 win over the Phoenix Suns, according to ESPN's Anthony Slater. Green received his first technical after throwing Khaman Maluach to the floor following the whistle, then picked up a second when he and Dillon Brooks were assessed a double technical. He finished with four points, four rebounds, two assists, and one steal in 17 minutes. It was Green's first ejection of the season, and he now has three technicals through six games. Golden State is also managing his lower back on back-to-backs, which could create occasional extra minutes for Charles Bassey.

Jordan Goodwin Exits with Calf Injury
Phoenix Suns guard Jordan Goodwin (calf) was ruled out of Monday's 116-113 loss to the Golden State Warriors after injuring his right calf late in the first half, according to Duane Rankin of The Arizona Republic. Goodwin finished with four points, two rebounds, two assists, and one steal in 10 minutes before heading to the locker room. He entered Monday averaging 8.8 points, 3.8 rebounds, 2.8 assists, and 1.8 steals in 21.0 minutes per game. If Goodwin misses time, Ryan Dunn could see more minutes on the wing, while Collin Gillespie and Luke Kennard may also have bigger bench roles.

Max Christie Exits Monday's Game with Hip Injury
Dallas Mavericks guard/forward Max Christie (hip) will not return to Monday's game against the Sacramento Kings. Christie played just eight minutes before exiting, with Walter Clayton Jr. replacing him in the lineup to begin the second half. The 23-year-old entered Monday averaging 8.3 points, 3.8 rebounds, and 2.0 assists while shooting 36.7 percent from the field through six starts. If Christie ends up missing time beyond Monday, Clayton should stay in the mix for extra minutes, with Marcus Sasser also a candidate for a larger backcourt role.

Collin Murray-Boyles Joins Starting Lineup Monday
Toronto Raptors forward/center Collin Murray-Boyles will make his first start of the season Monday against the Los Angeles Clippers, according to Zulfi Sheikh. With Jakob Poeltl (shoulder) out for a second straight game, Murray-Boyles moves into the starting lineup after Trayce Jackson-Davis started Sunday. The 21-year-old is averaging 7.7 points, 4.7 rebounds, 1.3 assists, and 1.2 steals in 19.0 minutes off the bench. In 16 starts from Jan. 3 onward last season, he posted 9.9 points, 6.3 rebounds, 3.1 assists, 1.6 blocks, and 1.3 steals in 28.8 minutes. The move gives him a better chance to contribute across the defensive categories while Poeltl remains out.

Derrick Jones Jr. Sidelined Against the Raptors
Los Angeles Clippers forward Derrick Jones Jr. (knee) has been ruled out for Monday's game against the Toronto Raptors, according to Joey Linn. Jones left Sunday's loss to Golden State after banging his knee late in the third quarter and finished with nine points and seven rebounds in 28 minutes. The 29-year-old is averaging 11.5 points, 4.8 rebounds, and 1.5 assists while shooting 52.0 percent from three. It's the same knee that gave him trouble last season, so his status is worth monitoring. With Max Strus returning, Kobe Sanders, Gradey Dick, and Baba Miller could still see some extra wing minutes.
