Cleveland Cavaliers guard
Donovan Mitchell (ankle) will not be in the lineup on Thursday against the Indiana Pacers, missing a second consecutive game. Cleveland's star man is nursing an ankle sprain, and the team has no reason to hurry his return since they have already clinched the top seed in the Eastern Conference for the playoffs.
Darius Garland (toe) will also take the night off, opening the door for
Ty Jerome and
Sam Merrill to lead the backcourt. Jerome will enter Thursday's contest with good momentum, having notched 38 points across two games since returning from a knee injury.

Detroit Pistons guard
Cade Cunningham (knee) has been listed as probable for Thursday's matchup against the New York Knicks. Cunningham recently missed time due to a calf injury and is now dealing with a knee problem. However, it appears to be a minor issue, and Cunningham is likely to make his third consecutive appearance. Since returning from a calf contusion, Cunningham has been limited to 30.5 minutes per game. Nonetheless, he has still done plenty of damage, averaging 30.0 points, 6.0 rebounds, and 4.5 assists.

Milwaukee Bucks forward/center
Giannis Antetokounmpo (shoulder) is considered probable for Thursday's clash against the New Orleans Pelicans. After helping Milwaukee to a remarkable comeback victory against the Minnesota Timberwolves on Tuesday night, Antetokounmpo is back on the injury report with a shoulder issue. Nevertheless, he is expected to be in the lineup. The two-time MVP has recorded triple-doubles in each of his last three appearances and can establish a new career-high for a single season if he posts another one over the final few games of the campaign. He is currently on 10 triple-doubles through 65 outings, averaging 30.4 points, 11.9 rebounds, 6.4 assists, and 1.2 blocks.

Houston Rockets center
Alperen Sengun (back) won't play on Wednesday against the Clippers. Houston will enter the postseason as the No. 2 seed in the Western Conference. As a result, Sengun,
Dillon Brooks (rest),
Jabari Smith Jr. (groin),
Fred VanVleet (ankle), and
Amen Thompson (rest) will get the night off.
Jalen Green and
Tari Eason are good to go, so it's logical to assume they'll carry the load offensively. But as far as the center spot is concerned,
Steven Adams, averaging 10.0 points, 9.7 rebounds, 1.3 blocks, and 1.3 steals in three starts this season, is worth considering for DFS lineups.

Boston Celtics forward
Jaylen Brown (knee) won't play on Wednesday against Orlando. He was listed as questionable. However, it appeared he at least had a chance of playing, considering he was warming up. With that in mind, the C's have already secured the No. 2 spot in the Eastern Conference, so
Jayson Tatum (ankle),
Derrick White (ankle),
Kristaps Porzingis (illness),
Jrue Holiday (shoulder), and
Al Horford (knee) will join Brown on the shelf. As a result, it could be a busy night for
Sam Hauser,
Payton Pritchard,
Luke Kornet, and
Baylor Scheierman.

Dallas Mavericks forward/center
Anthony Davis (adductor) is available to play on Wednesday against the Lakers. AD has frequented the injury report often this season because of a left adductor strain. That isn't expected to change anytime soon. However, with the Mavs having last played on Saturday, he had plenty of time to get ready for the meeting with his former team. It will be an emotional contest for Davis, that's for sure. With that in mind, he should be fired up and ready to rock, giving him plenty of upside for DFS managers on Wednesday night.

Philadelphia 76ers guard
Quentin Grimes (back) will play on Wednesday against Washington. He popped up on the injury report because of back soreness after scoring 29 points in 38 minutes in Monday's loss to the Miami Heat. Fortunately, the 24-year-old is good to go. It will continue to be a skeleton crew for Philly on Wednesday, meaning Grimes has an excellent chance to lead the way offensively against arguably the worst team in the National Basketball Association.

Charlotte Hornets center
Mark Williams (foot) won't play on Wednesday against the Raptors. He logged 31 minutes in Tuesday's loss to the Grizzlies. But, as has been the case, Williams will sit this one out to rest his ailing left foot. Without Williams in the mix,
Jusuf Nurkic, who had eight points, eight rebounds, and one block in his last start, should handle things in the middle. Nurkic should also see a bump in production, considering
Miles Bridges (hip) is also ruled out.

Charlotte Hornets forward
Miles Bridges (hip) won't play on Wednesday against Toronto. He logged 30 minutes in Tuesday's loss to the Memphis Grizzlies. However, the Hornets were eliminated from Postseason contention long ago, so it's unknown if the hip soreness will keep Bridges off the floor for the remainder of the 2024-25 campaign. Without Bridges in the mix,
Tidjane Salaun, averaging 6.3 points and 5.9 rebounds in eight starts this season, should fill the hole in the rotation, with
DaQuan Jeffries,
KJ Simpson, and
Jusuf Nurkic potentially in line for increased production.

April 9, 2025
Boston Celtics guard
Jrue Holiday (shoulder) won't play against Orlando on Wednesday. The shoulder injury is nothing new. However, the Celtics have nothing to gain or lose on Wednesday night, so Holiday can get a much-needed night off after logging 37 minutes in Tuesday's overtime win over the New York Knicks.
Derrick White (ankle) is also out. In addition,
Jaylen Brown (knee) is questionable. As such,
Payton Pritchard and
Baylor Scheierman may see plenty of minutes out of the backcourt.

Boston Celtics guard
Derrick White (ankle) won't play on Wednesday against Orlando. The Celtics secured the No. 2 spot in the Eastern Conference, so the team can afford to give their core performers a night off, with
Jayson Tatum (ankle),
Jrue Holiday (shoulder),
Kristaps Porzingis (illness), and
Al Horford (knee) already ruled out. In addition,
Jaylen Brown (knee) is questionable. As a result, the C's may lean heavily on
Payton Pritchard and
Baylor Scheierman to do most of the heavy lifting out of the backcourt on Wednesday night.

April 9, 2025
Boston Celtics center
Kristaps Porzingis (illness) won't suit up for Wednesday's clash with the Magic. He had a team-high 34 points in Tuesday's overtime win over the New York Knicks. But with Boston having already secured the No. 2 spot in the Eastern Conference, Porzingis will get the night off.
Al Horford (knee) also won't play, meaning
Luke Kornet may get the start, with the 29-year-old averaging 9.7 points, 6.1 rebounds, and 1.7 blocks in 14 starts this season.
Xavier Tillman Sr. may also see extended minutes, considering
Jayson Tatum (ankle) also won't be on the floor.
--Dennis Clausen - RotoBallerSource: NBA Injury Report
April 9, 2025
Boston Celtics forward
Jayson Tatum (ankle) won't play on Wednesday against the Magic. He had 32 points, seven rebounds, five assists, one steal, and one block in 47 minutes in Tuesday's overtime victory over the New York Knicks. However, the C's have secured the No. 2 spot in the Eastern Conference, so Tatum will take the night off to rest his ailing left ankle.
Derrick White (ankle),
Kristaps Porzingis (illness),
Al Horford (knee), and
Jrue Holiday (shoulder) have also been ruled out, and
Jaylen Brown (knee) is questionable. As a result, DFS managers could see increased production from
Payton Pritchard,
Sam Hauser,
Luke Kornet, and
Baylor Scheierman, to name a few.

Washington Wizards center/forward
Richaun Holmes (shoulder) is doubtful for Wednesday's matchup with the Philadelphia 76ers. The 31-year-old could be out of action for the fourth straight game due to a right shoulder contusion. If he isn't good to go, his next chance to suit up is Friday evening against the Chicago Bulls. Holmes may be out of action alongside
Anthony Gill (hamstring). However,
Tristan Vukcevic (knee) will provide some relief for the team's frontcourt as he is set to return after a two-game absence.

April 9, 2025
Washington Wizards center
Tristan Vukcevic (knee) is available to suit up against the Philadelphia 76ers on Wednesday. Vukcevic is set to make his return after missing the last two games due to a left knee contusion. The 22-year-old will likely be assigned a heavy workload this evening, with
Richaun Holmes (shoulder) doubtful and
Anthony Gill (hamstring) out of action. However, Vukcevic isn't a viable fantasy option, as he's averaged just 8.2 points and 3.4 rebounds across 32 games this season.
