1/16:Houston Rockets small forward James Ennis will be sidelined for Wednesday’s game versus the Brooklyn Nets due to a left calf laceration. Things are getting dire on the wing for Houston, who are without a pile of players for Wednesday’s contest. With Eric Gordon returning from injury, and Gerald Green one of the few active wing players with experience, both seem like solid DFS plays against Brooklyn. As for Ennis, his next chance to suit up comes Saturday against the Los Angeles Lakers.--Jesse Borek - RotoBallerSource: Jonathan Feigen

1/16:Portland Trail Blazers guard Damian Lillard (hand) is questionable for Wednesday's game against the Cleveland Cavaliers. Lillard is dealing with a right hand strain and it wouldn't be surprising to see the Blazers play it safe here. Nik Stauskas, Seth Curry, and Wade Baldwin would see more minutes if Lillard is forced to sit out. C.J. McCollum and Jusuf Nurkic would do the heavy lifting on the offense. Fantasy owners should check back closer to game time.--Andy Webb - RotoBallerSource: Casey Holdahl

1/16:San Antonio Spurs forward Rudy Gay (hand) and guard/forward Marco Belinelli (knee) will play in Wednesday's game against the Dallas Mavericks. Both players reportedly looked fine at shootaround and will suit up for this contest. Dante Cunningham, Quincy Pondexter and Davis Bertans will all lose minutes from these two returning. Gay is not expected to have a minutes limit, so he should be safe to use in fantasy leagues on Wednesday.--Andy Webb - RotoBallerSource: Tom Orsborn

1/16:New York Knicks guard/forward Tim Hardaway Jr. (hamstring) is listed as questionable for Thursday's game against the Washington Wizards. He's been dealing with a sore left hamstring, but had four days to rest up. Damyean Dotson would draw another start if Hardaway is unable to play. Kevin Knox and Emmanuel Mudiay would be asked to do more on offense. Knox is a solid DFS option without Hardaway in the rotation.--Andy Webb - RotoBallerSource: NBA Injury Report

1/16:Milwaukee Bucks guard George Hill (ribs) is listed as probable for Wednesday's game against the Memphis Grizzlies. Hill has seen a regular role off the bench with Milwaukee, but not enough to warrant owning in standard leagues. He's seeing minutes in the mid-20s, but is only worth considering in deep leagues.--Andy Webb - RotoBallerSource: NBA Injury Report

1/16:Los Angeles Lakers forward LeBron James (groin) will miss at least two more games, according to ESPN. He will not travel with the team for their road trip and will miss 13 straight games for the first time in his career. There's a chance he returns after these two games, but that depends on the treatment. Kentavious Caldwell-Pope started on Tuesday and could see more coming his way.--Andy Webb - RotoBallerSource: ESPN

1/16:Houston Rockets guard Eric Gordon (knee) could play in Wednesday's game against the Brooklyn Nets. He is listed as questionable for this contest, but there should be a better idea after shootaround. He's missed the last eight games, but appears very close to a return. Austin Rivers and Gerald Green will lose minutes and usage with Gordon returning.--Andy Webb - RotoBallerSource: Shams Charania

1/16:Toronto Raptors guard Fred Vanvleet (hip/thigh) will play in Wednesday's game against the Boston Celtics. He missed one game, but apparently it's a minor issue and he'll be good to go for this game. VanVleet has seen his workload decrease with Kyle Lowry back healthy. Delon Wright will see less minutes with both guards healthy and playing on Wednesday.--Andy Webb - RotoBallerSource: Blake Murphy

1/16:Portland Trail Blazers guard/forward Maurice Harkless (knee) is questionable for Wednesday's game against the Cleveland Cavaliers. Harkless has missed the last four games for the Blazers due to a left knee issue. Jake Layman has been drawing starts and Evan Turner has seen increased playing time with Harkless sidelined.--Andy Webb - RotoBallerSource: NBA Injury Report

1/16:Boston Celtics center Aron Baynes (hand) should be back in action versus the Toronto Raptors on Wednesday. It's unclear whether or not Baynes would have a minutes limit on Wednesday. Daniel Theis and Robert Williams are going to lose playing time with Baynes returning. None of these players are reliable fantasy option in most formats.--Andy Webb - RotoBallerSource: Brian Robb

1/16:Boston Celtics guard Marcus Smart (illness) is expected to play in Wednesday's game against the Toronto Raptors. He missed Monday's game due to an illness, but is set to return on Wednesday. Jaylen Brown would head back to the bench and see his minutes reduced.--Andy Webb - RotoBallerSource: Brian Robb
