Atlanta Hawks center
Jock Landale (ankle) will not return to Wednesday's game against Orlando after suffering a right ankle sprain, finishing with eight points, one rebound, and one assist in 15 minutes. If Landale is forced to miss additional time,
Onyeka Okongwu should continue handling heavy frontcourt minutes after posting 16 points, seven rebounds, four assists, two steals, and two blocks in 31 minutes.
Jonathan Kuminga could also see increased offensive chances off the bench, while
Mouhamed Gueye may pick up situational minutes. Okongwu stands out as the clearest fantasy beneficiary if Landale remains sidelined.

Philadelphia 76ers guard/forward
Paul George erupted for a season-high 39 points in Wednesday's win over Washington, adding six assists, five rebounds, three steals, and six three-pointers in 30 minutes. The veteran wing has been rolling lately, averaging 28.0 points, 7.0 rebounds, 5.0 triples, 3.5 assists, and 3.0 steals across his last four games while handling a 28.1 usage rate. George looks locked in as a must-start option in all formats, especially with
Joel Embiid (illness) sidelined.
Tyrese Maxey should continue seeing steady usage, while
VJ Edgecombe and
Kelly Oubre Jr. could see slightly fewer scoring chances with George taking on a larger offensive role.

Portland Trail Blazers forward
Jerami Grant (calf) will miss Thursday's game against New Orleans, extending his recent absence due to a lingering calf strain. His continued absence should keep
Scoot Henderson in an elevated role after the young guard produced 15 points with three three-pointers in 29 minutes in the last win over the Clippers and 21 points with seven assists in a prior start. Henderson shapes up as a strong short-term points and assists streamer, while
Deni Avdija and
Jrue Holiday could also see slightly higher offensive workloads until Grant returns.

New Orleans Pelicans guard/forward
Trey Murphy III (ankle) is questionable for Thursday's game against Portland and could miss a fourth straight contest due to a right ankle sprain. With the Pelicans out of the playoff race, the team may remain cautious, which keeps
Jeremiah Fears and
Jordan Hawkins on the deep-league radar for streaming value. Fears posted 12 points, five assists, two steals, and one block in 22 minutes in the last game, while
Yves Missi added four blocks as a starter but remains a defensive specialist option.
Zion Williamson and
Dejounte Murray should continue seeing steady usage if Murphy sits.

April 1, 2026
Los Angeles Lakers guard
Marcus Smart (ankle) will miss Thursday's game against Oklahoma City, extending his absence to six straight games because of a right ankle contusion. His continued absence keeps
Jake LaRavia in the starting lineup after he logged 14 points, seven rebounds, and two three-pointers in 38 minutes during the last outing, making him a viable deep-league streamer for rebounds and low-end scoring.
Luka Doncic and
Austin Reaves should continue handling most of the backcourt usage, while LaRavia's secure minutes give him short-term value until Smart is cleared to return.

Milwaukee Bucks guard/forward
Gary Trent Jr. (hip) will not return to Wednesday's game against Houston after exiting early with a hip contusion, finishing with one steal and three missed shots in seven minutes. His absence is notable with Milwaukee already missing multiple rotation players, which could push
Andre Jackson Jr. and
Cormac Ryan into larger roles the rest of the night. Trent had been trending toward deeper league relevance recently due to the injury depleted roster, so this setback adds risk for managers relying on his minutes.
AJ Green and
Ousmane Dieng may also see small usage bumps.

April 1, 2026
Phoenix Suns center
Mark Williams (foot) is questionable for Thursday's game against Charlotte as he nears a return from a monthlong absence caused by a left foot stress reaction. The fourth-year big man has averaged 11.6 points, 8.1 rebounds, and 0.9 blocks in 23.6 minutes across 56 games, giving him solid value in big man categories if he sees enough minutes. His return would likely push
Oso Ighodaro into a smaller role, lowering his already modest fantasy value. Williams could also take some interior opportunities from
Royce O'Neale while adding defensive stats for category managers.

April 1, 2026
Denver Nuggets forward/center
Aaron Gordon (calf) is available for Wednesday's game against Utah but is expected to operate under a minutes restriction after missing the previous contest. The veteran has averaged 14.0 points, 5.3 rebounds, and 2.4 assists across 26.6 minutes over his recent March stretch, though fantasy managers should expect modest production if his workload stays capped. He posted 17 points, seven rebounds, and one block in 31 minutes in a prior meeting with Utah, showing his category versatility.
Peyton Watson could still hold value in deeper leagues if Gordon's playing time remains carefully managed alongside
Nikola Jokic.

Golden State Warriors guard
Gary Payton II (knee) is out for Wednesday's game against San Antonio as the team manages his workload on the first night of a back-to-back, though he could return Thursday. His absence should open extra rotation minutes for
Pat Spencer, who delivered seven points, five rebounds, eight assists, and two steals in 24 minutes in his last appearance, making him a possible deep-league assists streamer.
Will Richard and
Seth Curry could also see expanded roles, while
Brandin Podziemski may take on slightly more ballhandling duties with Payton unavailable.

April 1, 2026
Golden State Warriors forward
Gui Santos (pelvis) is out for Wednesday's game against San Antonio after being downgraded from questionable, opening minutes in a thin frontcourt rotation. His next chance to return comes Thursday, but in the short term,
Will Richard could see a larger role after producing eight points with two three-pointers, two rebounds, and two assists in a 25-minute start recently.
Malevy Leons and
Nate Williams may also see deeper rotation minutes. Richard is a viable streamer in deeper formats, while
Draymond Green and
Brandin Podziemski should handle more of the playmaking duties with Santos out.

April 1, 2026
Milwaukee Bucks forwards
Bobby Portis (wrist) and
Kyle Kuzma (Achilles) are out for Wednesday's game against Houston, further thinning an already depleted rotation. Kuzma scored 20 points with six rebounds and three assists in 23 minutes Tuesday, but this appears to be precautionary maintenance on the second night of a back-to-back.
Ousmane Dieng should continue seeing elevated usage after posting 11 points, 10 rebounds, and five assists in 29 minutes, making him a strong streamer.
Pete Nance also gains deep-league appeal after a 39-minute start recently, while
AJ Green may see added shot volume.
--Brian DailisanSource: NBA Injury Report
April 1, 2026
Milwaukee Bucks guard
Ryan Rollins (hip) won't suit up for Wednesday's game against the Houston Rockets. Rollins made his return to the court on Tuesday, but will sit out the second leg of this back-to-back set. He finished with 24 points, nine assists, and seven rebounds across 36 minutes of action. The Bucks will likely need to lean on
AJ Green,
Gary Trent Jr., and
Andre Jackson Jr. on Wednesday. Out of this trio, Green is the most consistent fantasy option. He should be considered a trustworthy DFS option for Wednesday's slate.

April 1, 2026
Indiana Pacers forward
Obi Toppin (foot) is available for Wednesday's game against Chicago after entering with a probable tag, giving Indiana another usable frontcourt body amid multiple injuries. He has averaged 13.2 points, 3.8 rebounds, 3.4 assists, and 1.6 three-pointers in 18.7 minutes over his last five games with a 26.9 usage rate, making him a viable deep-league streamer while the roster is thin. His minutes floor looks safer with
Andrew Nembhard (back) and
Aaron Nesmith (neck) sidelined, while
Pascal Siakam and
Jay Huff should continue seeing stable workloads alongside him in expanded rotations.
--Brian DailisanSource: NBA Injury Report
April 1, 2026
Milwaukee Bucks center
Myles Turner (ankle) has been ruled out ahead of Wednesday's game against the Houston Rockets. This appears to be a rest day for Turner during the second leg of the back-to-back set. Turner returned to the lineup on Tuesday and finished with 10 points, eight rebounds, and four blocks in 27 minutes of action. The Bucks aren't playing for anything at this point in the season, so it's not shocking to see them resting players.
Jericho Sims should get the start at center, while
Pete Nance and
Ousmane Dieng see increased roles as well. Sims could have some deep league streaming value or a cheap DFS option for Wednesday's slate.
--Andy WebbSource: NBA Injury Report
April 1, 2026
Indiana Pacers forward
Pascal Siakam (knee) is available to play ahead of Wednesday's game against the Chicago Bulls. As expected, Siakam will play after being listed as probable on the injury report due to a lingering right knee issue. The Pacers have a ton of injuries right now, so Siakam is the go-to guy on offense. This season, Siakam is averaging 23.8 points, 6.7 rebounds, and 3.8 assists across 33.4 minutes per game. He is one of the most elite fantasy options at the power forward spot right now. Siakam needs to be rostered and started in all fantasy formats.
