Milwaukee Bucks forward
Kyle Kuzma (Achilles) is listed as questionable ahead of Wednesday's game against the Portland Trail Blazers. Kuzma missed Monday's contest due to an Achilles issue and could be headed towards a second straight absence.
Jericho Sims moved into the starting five, but didn't offer much on the stat sheet. Sims finished with four points and three rebounds across 19 minutes on Monday. The 27-year-old could draw another start on Wednesday, but doesn't offer enough upside to warrant streaming. Fantasy managers should check back ahead of tip-off for another update on Kuzma.

Milwaukee Bucks forward/center
Bobby Portis (wrist) is listed as questionable ahead of Wednesday's game against the Portland Trail Blazers. Portis returned from a one-game absence on Monday, but now is dealing with a wrist injury. He finished with 11 points and six rebounds across 20 minutes of action during Monday's game. If he sits out,
Jericho Sims and
Pete Nance would see increased workloads as the backup centers. Between the two, Nance has been the more consistent option, so he's the better streaming choice if Portis is unable to play on Wednesday.

March 24, 2026
Milwaukee Bucks guard
Kevin Porter Jr. (knee) has been ruled out ahead of Wednesday's game against the Portland Trail Blazers. Porter will miss his fourth game in a row due to right knee inflammation. It has been a frustrating month for Porter, who has only been able to suit up for five games in March.
Taurean Prince has drawn two straight starts, so he figures to get another one on Wednesday. He finished with five points and six rebounds across 20 minutes of action during Monday's game. The veteran forward will offer low-end streaming appeal if he gets another start on Wednesday.
--Andy WebbSource: NBA Injury Report
March 24, 2026
Utah Jazz guard
Isaiah Collier (hamstring) will remain out for Wednesday's game against Washington, extending his absence as he continues to recover from a left hamstring strain. His next opportunity to return comes Friday against Denver.
Kennedy Chandler has been the more useful fantasy option lately, putting up 13 points, five rebounds, nine assists, and three steals off the bench in the last game. He makes sense as a deep-league streamer if you need assists and steals.
Bez Mbeng should still see plenty of minutes as a starter, but his limited scoring upside keeps him more of a deeper-league play.
--Brian DailisanSource: NBA Injury Report
March 24, 2026
Washington Wizards center
Alexandre Sarr (toe) will miss Wednesday's game against Utah, marking his second straight absence due to inflammation in his left toe. His absence should keep frontcourt minutes available for
Tristan Vukcevic (back),
Anthony Gill, and
Julian Reese. Vukcevic is questionable, but if cleared to play, he could see an expanded role after finishing with 13 points, three three-pointers, one rebound, and one assist in 15 minutes last game. Gill is on the radar in deeper leagues after putting up 18 points, two three-pointers, five rebounds, and three steals in 26 minutes last game, while Reese remains more of a wait-and-see option if he cracks the rotation.
--Brian DailisanSource: NBA Injury Report
March 24, 2026
Minnesota Timberwolves guard/forward
Ayo Dosunmu (calf) is questionable for Wednesday's matchup with Houston after drawing recent starts while
Anthony Edwards (knee) remains sidelined. If Dosunmu sits, Minnesota may need to reshuffle its backcourt rotation, with
Bones Hyland a strong candidate for extra minutes after producing 23 points, three three-pointers, three rebounds, three assists, and one steal in 30 minutes off the bench in his last outing. Hyland shapes up as a viable deep-league streamer if given a larger role, while
Donte DiVincenzo and
Julius Randle could also see slight usage bumps.
--Brian DailisanSource: NBA Injury Report
March 24, 2026
Dallas Mavericks center
Daniel Gafford (shoulder) is questionable for Wednesday's game against Denver after leaving Monday's overtime loss with a right shoulder injury. His availability could affect Dallas' frontcourt rotation if he is unable to play.
Marvin Bagley III could see increased minutes after finishing with nine points and three assists in 15 minutes off the bench Monday.
Dwight Powell did not play in that contest but could re-enter the rotation if depth is needed. Bagley may be worth a look in deep leagues if Gafford misses time.
--Brian DailisanSource: NBA Injury Report
March 24, 2026
Philadelphia 76ers guard/forward
Quentin Grimes (illness) is questionable for Wednesday's game against the Bulls after sitting out Monday's loss to Oklahoma City. His status could affect the wing rotation, especially with
Paul George set to return from suspension. If Grimes remains out,
MarJon Beauchamp could continue to see extended minutes after posting 13 points, three three-pointers, six rebounds, two assists, and two steals in 32 minutes as a starter Monday.
Justin Edwards also logged 25 minutes in that contest. Grimes' potential return and George's availability could limit the streaming appeal of both players.
--Brian DailisanSource: NBA Injury Report
March 24, 2026
Indiana Pacers guard
Andrew Nembhard (calf) is probable for Wednesday's game against the Lakers after recently playing through the same issue. He appears on track to remain in the starting lineup after strong back-to-back performances. Nembhard posted 13 points, seven rebounds, and 14 assists in 35 minutes Monday after finishing with 25 points and seven assists in his previous outing. He offers solid fantasy value while handling lead guard duties.
T.J. McConnell could see extra ballhandling work if any limitations arise.
--Brian DailisanSource: NBA Injury Report
March 24, 2026
San Antonio Spurs center
Luke Kornet (knee) will sit out Wednesday's game against the Memphis Grizzlies. Kornet will have tomorrow evening off for right knee injury management. The 30-year-old big man is averaging 6.6 points and 6.3 rebounds in 21.0 minutes per contest across 61 appearances this campaign. He could be back in action on Saturday against the Bucks.
Kelly Olynyk and
Mason Plumlee will take on extra frontcourt minutes while Kornet is sidelined.
--Andrew LennoxSource: NBA Injury Report
March 24, 2026
Indiana Pacers guard/forward
Aaron Nesmith (ankle) is probable for Wednesday's game against the Lakers and is expected to remain in his usual starting role despite ongoing injury management. Nesmith has been productive lately, averaging 17.0 points, 2.0 rebounds, 0.8 assists, and 3.6 three-pointers over his last five games while logging nearly 28 minutes per contest. He finished with 19 points and five three-pointers in Monday's win and remains a solid streaming option for points and threes.
Jarace Walker and
Ben Sheppard could see slightly more wing minutes if any limitations arise.
--Brian DailisanSource: NBA Injury Report
March 24, 2026
Indiana Pacers forward/center
Pascal Siakam (knee) is probable for Wednesday's game against the Lakers after being listed with a minor knee issue following his recent return to action. The veteran is coming off a dominant performance with 37 points, two three-pointers, six rebounds, one assist, two steals, and two blocks in 34 minutes Monday. He should continue to handle a heavy workload if active and remains a must-start in all formats.
Jarace Walker has continued to produce alongside Siakam and could be worth a look while the minutes remain elevated.

San Jose Sharks winger Igor Chernyshov (concussion) will suit up on Tuesday against the Nashville Predators, Sheng Peng of San Jose Hockey Now reports. The 20-year-old has missed four games due to a concussion. Chernyshov was red-hot in his first few career appearances and has totaled 11 points (three goals, eight assists) in 16 games. On Tuesday, he will get a great chance to break his recent offensive slump, as Sharks head coach Ryan Warsofsky has decided to pair Chernyshov with Macklin Celebrini and Will Smith on the first line. He will also skate on the second power-play unit.

March 24, 2026
Detroit Red Wings center Dylan Larkin (leg) will play on Tuesday against the Ottawa Senators. He was initially considered a game-time call for the clash. Larkin has missed seven games due to a leg injury. The Red Wings captain will open the game on the first line with Lucas Raymond and Emmitt Finnie. In three games against the Senators this season, Larkin has scored three goals and four points. Overall, he has notched 55 points (28 goals, 27 assists) in 63 games.

March 24, 2026
San Antonio Spurs point guard
De'Aaron Fox (back) is unavailable for Wednesday's matchup with the Memphis Grizzlies. Fox will be held out of action due to lower back tightness. The 28-year-old has only missed one other game since Nov. 7. While Fox is sidelined, fantasy managers should expect plenty of production from
Keldon Johnson and
Dylan Harper. The two players combined to score a total of 42 points during Monday's 136-111 win over Miami.
--Andrew LennoxSource: NBA Injury Report
March 24, 2026
Colorado Avalanche forwards Logan O'Connor (hip) and Ross Colton (upper body) will be in the lineup on Tuesday against the Pittsburgh Penguins. O'Connor will make his season debut after recovering from offseason hip surgery, and Colton is returning to action after missing six games due to an upper-body injury. Colton will skate with Brock Nelson and Valeri Nichushkin on the second line. Meanwhile, O'Connor will join the third line, linking up with Parker Kelly and Nazem Kadri. Nicolas Roy (upper body) isn't available on Tuesday, while Gavin Brindley will be a healthy scratch.
--Taavi PailkSource: NHL.com
March 24, 2026
Atlanta Hawks forward
Jalen Johnson (shoulder) is questionable for Wednesday's game against Detroit after sitting out the past two contests with inflammation. His status likely will be determined closer to tipoff depending on how he responds in pregame work.
Mouhamed Gueye would remain in the starting unit if Johnson sits, though his production has fluctuated. Gueye had three points, four rebounds, three assists and two steals in 22 minutes Monday after posting 16 points, 10 rebounds and three blocks in a previous start. He is a risky deep-league streamer.
Onyeka Okongwu and
Jonathan Kuminga could also see slight usage bumps if Johnson remains out.

March 24, 2026
Philadelphia Flyers center Sean Couturier (upper body) has been cleared to return from a two-game absence on Tuesday against the Columbus Blue Jackets, Jordan Hall of NBC Sports Philadelphia reports. The Flyers will also get Luke Glendening (lower body) and Denver Barkey (upper body) back, giving the team a nice boost for a matchup against their divisional rivals. Couturier is fifth among Philadelphia's forwards with 22 assists and has scored seven goals in 66 games. Offensively, he's had a very tough second half of the season, finishing scoreless in 21 of his last 26 appearances.

March 24, 2026
Philadelphia 76ers center
Joel Embiid (oblique) is questionable for Wednesday's game against Chicago after missing nearly a month while recovering from a core injury. He has resumed on-court work and appears close to returning, though his availability remains uncertain. If Embiid plays,
Andre Drummond and
Adem Bona would likely lose most of their short-term streaming appeal. Bona finished with three points, five rebounds, three assists, one steal, and two blocks in 26 minutes in his last start, while Drummond had six points, four rebounds, and two assists in 19 minutes. Embiid remains a must-start if active.

March 24, 2026
Toronto Maple Leafs defenseman Morgan Rielly (lower body) will return from a one-game absence on Tuesday against the Boston Bruins. He will resume his duties on the first defensive pairing and the second power-play unit. Philippe Myers will make room in the lineup for Rielly, who has totaled 33 points (nine goals, 24 assists) in 67 appearances. Rielly's scoring rate has been abysmal recently, as he has finished scoreless in nine of his 10 outings this month. His offensive impact might again be limited on Tuesday against a Bruins team that ranks third in the NHL with 1,887 saves.

March 24, 2026
Minnesota Wild forwards Kirill Kaprizov (lower body) and Joel Eriksson Ek (lower body) will rejoin the lineup on Tuesday against the Tampa Bay Lightning. Both players have recently missed time due to lower-body injuries, with Kaprizov sitting out two games and Eriksson Ek three. Nico Sturm and Hunter Haight will exit the lineup to make room for the duo. Kaprizov will rejoin the first line, while Eriksson Ek will center the second line. They will also strengthen Minnesota's first power-play unit. The Lightning have allowed 3.71 goals per game since the Olympic break, so Minnesota's frontline could be in for a productive evening.

March 24, 2026
Charlotte Hornets guard/forward
Kon Knueppel (back) is available to suit up Tuesday against the Sacramento Kings. The 20-year-old rookie is good to go despite dealing with a lower back issue. Knueppel has missed just one game during his first NBA campaign, averaging 19.1 points, 5.3 rebounds, and 3.4 assists. He will look to bounce back from a subpar outing on Saturday against Memphis, as he collected just nine points on 3-for-9 shooting.

March 24, 2026
Ottawa Senators defenseman Thomas Chabot (arm) will be "out a while," according to head coach Travis Green. The versatile defenseman injured his right arm in Monday's 2-1 victory over the New York Rangers. Chabot has recently had a heavy workload due to Jake Sanderson's (upper body) absence. While Sanderson is nearing his return, Ottawa is set to be without two of its biggest defensive pieces for at least a couple of games. The blue line suffered another injury with Lassi Thomson (lower body) on Monday, and he is also expected to miss time. Jorian Donovan and Carter Yakemchuk were called up from the AHL and will make their NHL debuts on Tuesday against the Detroit Red Wings.

San Francisco Giants outfielder
Harrison Bader (hamstring) is back in center field and will bat in the two-hole for Tuesday's exhibition game against the Sultanes de Monterrey, according to Susan Slusser of the San Francisco Chronicle. It's the first time that Bader will play in a game this spring since last Friday due to left-hamstring tightness. Barring a setback on Tuesday, the veteran outfielder will be ready to go for Opening night on Wednesday against the visiting New York Yankees. The 31-year-old had a career-best .796 OPS, a .277/.347/.499 slash line, 17 home runs, 54 RBI, 61 runs scored, and 11 stolen bases in 501 plate appearances over 146 games with the Minnesota Twins and Philadelphia Phillies in 2025. But beneath the hood, he had poor exit velocities and hard-hit rates, leading to a .223 expected batting average and a .364 expected slugging percentage. Fantasy managers deploying Bader as outfield depth in 2026 should expect some regression, especially at hitter-friendly Oracle Park.

Charlotte Hornets guard/forward
Pat Connaughton (illness) is unavailable for Tuesday's matchup with the Sacramento Kings. Connaughton will sit out tonight's game due to an illness. The 33-year-old veteran forward is averaging 2.9 points and 1.5 rebounds in 7.4 minutes per contest across 35 appearances this season. He typically isn't a fantasy factor, as he's rarely in the Hornets' rotation.
--Andrew LennoxSource: Charlotte Hornets PR
March 24, 2026
Pittsburgh Penguins forward Evgeni Malkin (upper body) has been ruled out for Tuesday's matchup with the Colorado Avalanche and is considered day-to-day. The Penguins were recently without Malkin for five games due to a suspension and must again cope with his absence. Anthony Mantha is expected to replace him on the second line, while Ville Koivunen was recalled from the minors to fill the void in the lineup. Mantha is having a career year with 26 goals and 53 points in 70 games. He will look to get going again on Tuesday after finishing back-to-back games without any points.

Veteran quarterback
Joe Flacco reached an agreement on a one-year, $6 million deal on Tuesday to re-sign with the Cincinnati Bengals, his agents told Jeremy Fowler of ESPN. Flacco will return to Cincy for a 19th NFL season after spending time with both the Bengals and Cleveland Browns in 2025. The 41-year-old veteran began the year as the starter in Cleveland, but he was traded to the Bengals after four starts to fill in for the injured
Joe Burrow. Flacco became a streaming QB in fantasy formats after landing in Cincy, as he threw for 1,664 yards, 13 touchdowns, and four interceptions in nine games (six starts) after the trade. Despite his age, Flacco has proved in recent seasons that he still has a little magic left in the tank as a backup signal-caller. Burrow continues to be hampered by injuries in his career, so if he misses more time in 2026, Flacco will be called to the rescue again and could once again be worth picking up off the waiver wire for QB-needy fantasy managers.

There is a new pecking order among Denver Broncos wide receivers after the team acquired
Jaylen Waddle from the Miami Dolphins last week for three draft picks. Waddle could end up being the Broncos' WR1, ahead of
Courtland Sutton, and his presence will definitely make playing time and targets hard to come by for
Marvin Mims Jr. The Athletic's Nick Kosmider writes that the Broncos "aren't in any hurry to make a trade to thin the room," though, which includes Sutton,
Troy Franklin,
Pat Bryant, and Mims. Injuries thinned the team's WR room late last year, so they "want to be more equipped for those potential setbacks." Although Waddle and Mims may have similar skill sets and roles on offense, Mims' ability to run the football out of the backfield, be a Pro Bowl return man on special teams, and operate as a big-play threat on offense "makes him a different weapon" than Waddle. Teams could be calling about a player like Mims, but Kosmider doesn't think a team with Super Bowl aspirations will pull the trigger. In dynasty and redraft leagues, Mims' stock will take a notable hit if he stays in Denver, however.

With
Luis Garcia Jr. moving to first base full-time in 2026, Washington Nationals infielder
Nasim Nunez is locked in as the team's starting second baseman to begin the year, according to MLB.com's Jessica Camerato and Paige Leckie. Nunez is a former Rule 5 draft pick who has never seen consistent playing time. The 25-year-old former second-round pick by the Miami Marlins in 2019 is a switch-hitter who has played in 90 games the last two years in D.C., slashing .238/.329/.343 with a .672 OPS, four home runs, 14 RBI, 27 runs scored, and 17 stolen bases in 170 total plate appearances. In 89 innings played at the keystone in 2025, Nunez didn't commit a single error, and he even made seven starts at second and six at shortstop during spring training. He may not be an upgrade over Garcia offensively at second base, but he certainly will be with his glove. If anything, Nunez could be an asset in NL-only fantasy leagues as a depth middle infielder for his speed.

Golden State Warriors guard/forward
Moses Moody has been diagnosed with a torn patellar tendon in his left knee, according to ESPN's Shams Charania. Due to the injury, Moody's career-best season ends as he finishes with averages of 12.1 points, 3.3 rebounds, 1.6 assists and 1.0 steals in 25.7 minutes per contest across 60 outings. With Moody out for the foreseeable future,
Gui Santos,
Gary Payton II and
Will Richard are all candidates for larger roles.
