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.

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.

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.

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.

April 9, 2025
Washington Wizards forward/center
Anthony Gill (hamstring) won't play against the Philadelphia 76ers due to a hamstring issue. Gill could not return to Tuesday's contest after exiting early because of the injury. The 32-year-old had become a regular in the rotation, playing at least 22 minutes in three of the last four contests. Despite Gill being out of action this evening, the Wizards frontcourt will likely have some help as center
Tristan Vukcevic is no longer listed on the injury report.
--Andrew Lennox - RotoBallerSource: NBA Injury Report
April 9, 2025
Washington Wizards forward
Khris Middleton (ankle) is unavailable for Wednesday's game against the Philadelphia 76ers. Middleton will miss his seventh consecutive contest due to a right knee contusion. He last played on March 27 versus the Pacers and finished with eight points, one rebound and two assists across 14 minutes on the floor. His next chance to suit up comes on Friday versus Chicago.
Justin Champagnie has benefited the most from Middleton's lengthy absence, as he's recorded a double-double in two straight games.

April 9, 2025
Washington Wizards guard
Jordan Poole (elbow) is unavailable for Wednesday's matchup with the Philadelphia 76ers due to a right elbow contusion. The Wizards are staying on the cautious end, keeping Poole out of tonight's action as they are on the back end of back-to-back games. The 25-year-old finished with 19 points, one rebound and three assists across 19 minutes in a 104-98 loss to the Pacers on Tuesday.
Marcus Smart and
Bub Carrington will likely absorb most of the available minutes in the backcourt this evening.

Memphis Grizzlies small forward
Jaylen Wells suffered a broken wrist during Tuesday's win against the Charlotte Hornets. The 21-year-old rookie broke his right wrist after a hard fall, landing on his arm and head due to a mid-air collision at the end of a fast-break dunk. Wells was down on the court for several minutes before medical personnel placed him onto a stretcher, securing his head to restrict motion. He was taken to the hospital, where he had movement in all his extremities, interim head coach Tuomas Iisalo said. This injury marks an unfortunate ending to a solid rookie season, in which Wells averaged 10.4 points and 3.4 rebounds in 25.9 minutes.
Vince Williams Jr. started the second half in Wells' place on Tuesday and will likely receive increased usage moving forward.

Toronto Raptors center
Jakob Poeltl (hand) is questionable to play against the Charlotte Hornets on Wednesday night. Following a scheduled rest day against the Brooklyn Nets on Sunday, Poeltl was expected to rejoin the action against Charlotte, but he is on the injury report with a right hand injury. With Poeltl frequently out of the lineup lately,
Orlando Robinson and
Jonathan Mogbo have stepped up to take on bigger roles. Both players will receive extra work again on Wednesday if Poeltl remains out of the lineup.

April 9, 2025
Toronto Raptors guard/forward
Scottie Barnes (hand) is considered questionable for Wednesday's action against the Charlotte Hornets. He may sit out a third straight game due to a hand injury. The Raptors look set to roll out a shorthanded lineup again, as
Ochai Agbaji (rest),
Jamal Shead (rest), and
Ja'Kobe Walter (hip) are already ruled out, and
Jakob Poeltl (hand) is also carrying a questionable tag. This could greatly boost the offensive usage of
RJ Barrett and
Immanuel Quickley. Meanwhile,
Jonathan Mogbo will likely continue to start in Barnes' place.
--Taavi Pailk - RotoBallerSource: NBA Injury Report
April 9, 2025
Miami Heat forward
Andrew Wiggins (hamstring) is considered questionable for Wednesday's tilt against the Chicago Bulls. Wiggins appears to be nearing his return, but he may still be forced to sit out a seventh consecutive game due to right hamstring tendinopathy.
Pelle Larsson has become a regular starter during Wiggins' absence, although his performances tend to vary significantly. His average numbers for the last six games stand at 10.5 points, 4.3 rebounds, 3.5 assists, and 2.2 steals.
Duncan Robinson has also taken on a larger role recently and could be in for a big night against a team that allows the fourth-most three-point attempts in the league.

Portland Trail Blazers guard
Anfernee Simons (forearm) is at risk of missing a fifth consecutive game, as the team lists him as questionable for Wednesday's contest against the Utah Jazz. Portland's top scorer has landed on the shelf with a right forearm contusion. Simons has joined
Scoot Henderson (concussion) on the sidelines, leaving the Trail Blazers' backcourt shorthanded. Due to the injury situation,
Dalano Banton has made four consecutive starts, scoring at least 20 points in each of the last three. With neither
Deandre Ayton (calf) nor
Jerami Grant (knee) in the lineup on Wednesday, and
Deni Avdija (thumb) potentially remaining out, Banton must carry the offensive load again alongside
Shaedon Sharpe and
Toumani Camara.

April 9, 2025
Portland Trail Blazers forward
Deni Avdija (thumb) has been listed as questionable for Wednesday's encounter with the Utah Jazz. A right thumb injury knocked Avdija out of the lineup for Sunday's contest against the San Antonio Spurs, and it could rob him of another game on Wednesday night.
Matisse Thybulle replaced Avdija in the starting unit on Sunday, while
Kris Murray received additional minutes off the bench. Although Murray was the more productive of the two, history has shown that neither player can be relied upon for consistent fantasy value.
