Paul George Officially Available Wednesday
Philadelphia 76ers guard/forward Paul George (suspension) will return to action on Wednesday against the Chicago Bulls. He has finished his 25-game suspension for violating the NBA's anti-drug policy, and the team hasn't listed George on the injury report. 76ers head coach Nick Nurse mentioned earlier this week that George won't need a ramp-up period, so fantasy managers can expect him to play his usual minutes against Chicago. The nine-time All-Star has averaged 16.0 points, 5.1 rebounds, 3.7 assists, and 1.5 steals in 30.5 minutes per game this season.

John Collins is Returning on Wednesday
Los Angeles Clippers forward John Collins (ankle) is available to play ahead of Wednesday's game against the Toronto Raptors. Collins is back in action following a one-game absence due to a left ankle sprain. He should move back into the starting five which should push Nicolas Batum to the second unit. Collins should be rostered and started in most fantasy formats. He's averaging 13.7 points, 5.3 rebounds, and 1.0 assists in 27.5 minutes per game. Fellow forward Kawhi Leonard (ankle) is questionable for Wednesday's game, so Collins could be asked to take on a larger role offensively if Leonard sits out.

Jordan Miller is Questionable for Wednesday's Game
Los Angeles Clippers guard/forward Jordan Miller (back) is listed as questionable ahead of Wednesday's game against the Toronto Raptors. Miller has been healthy throughout most of the season, but appears to have picked up a back injury during Monday's contest. The second-year guard has been playing a bigger role for the Clippers this season. He's averaging 9.8 points, 3.1 rebounds, and 2.2 assists across 21.6 minutes per game this season. Fellow forward Kawhi Leonard (ankle) carries a questionable tag into Wednesday's contest as well. Bennedict Mathurin, John Collins, and Kobe Sanders could be asked to play bigger roles if both players are unable to suit up. Fantasy managers will need to check back for another update ahead of Wednesday's tip-off.

Bennedict Mathurin is Returning on Wednesday
Los Angeles Clippers guard/forward Bennedict Mathurin (toe) has been cleared to play ahead of Wednesday's game against the Toronto Raptors. Mathurin is ready to return after missing four straight games due to a right toe injury. There is no word on a minutes limit, but it wouldn't be shocking to see the Clippers somewhat monitor his playing time during his first game back. Mathurin has been playing extremely well in March. Over the last 10 games, Mathurin is averaging 19.4 points, 5.8 rebounds, and 1.7 assists. For fantasy managers still playing, Mathurin is a solid fantasy option down the stretch of the season. Fantasy managers in season-long formats should get him active ahead of Wednesday's tip-off.

Kawhi Leonard is Uncertain for Wednesday's Game
Los Angeles Clippers forward Kawhi Leonard (ankle) is listed as questionable ahead of Wednesday's game against the Toronto Raptors. Leonard has played in two straight games, but continues to be on the injury report due to a left ankle sprain. If Leonard gets downgraded, Jordan Miller (back), Nicolas Batum, and Bennedict Mathurin are all candidates to see expanded roles. Mathurin is making his return after missing four straight games. The Clippers could be monitoring his minutes during his first game back. When he's at full speed, Mathurin is a reliable fantasy option. Also, Miller has been quietly playing well lately and is worth a look in deep leagues.

Kyle Kuzma Carries Questionable Tag for Wednesday
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.

Bobby Portis is Tagged as Questionable for Wednesday
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.

Kevin Porter Jr. to Miss Fourth Straight Game
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.

Isaiah Collier Remains Out Wednesday
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.

Alexandre Sarr Out Against Jazz
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.

Ayo Dosunmu Questionable for Wednesday
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.

Daniel Gafford Iffy Against Denver
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.

Quentin Grimes Could Miss Another Game
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.

Andrew Nembhard Probable for Wednesday
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.

Luke Kornet Unavailable for Wednesday
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.
