Indiana Pacers guard
Andrew Nembhard (back, neck) is considered questionable for Wednesday's meeting with the Los Angeles Clippers. The 26-year-old is bothered by lower back and neck soreness and could sit out a second consecutive game. With Nembhard on the shelf,
Kam Jones joined the first unit on Sunday against the Memphis Grizzlies. The 24-year-old rookie put in solid work, finishing with a 10-point, 10-assist double-double, the first of his career. Jones is expected to maintain a larger role until Nembhard returns.

Indiana Pacers forward
Pascal Siakam (wrist) is carrying a questionable tag on the injury report ahead of Wednesday's clash against the Los Angeles Clippers. The four-time All-Star has missed six of the last seven games, including each of the last three. Due to a left wrist sprain, Siakam may sit out another contest on Wednesday night.
Jarace Walker,
Kobe Brown, and
Micah Potter have benefited from Siakam's absence due to health issues. Walker has the most fantasy appeal of the three players, having carved out a regular starting role.

Memphis Grizzlies forward/center
Santi Aldama (knee) won't play on Tuesday against the Minnesota Timberwolves after all. Prior to tip-off, the team upgraded his status from questionable to available, and Aldama was even expected to start. However, he has now been ruled out. With Aldama remaining on the shelf for an 11th consecutive game,
GG Jackson II and
Olivier-Maxence Prosper will continue to carry a heavy workload in the frontcourt.

Memphis Grizzlies forward/center
Santi Aldama (knee) will return to action on Tuesday night against the Minnesota Timberwolves. He has been on the shelf for a month while managing a right knee injury. Aldama has played an important role for the Grizzlies, averaging 14.0 points, 6.7 rebounds, and 2.9 assists in 27.9 minutes this season. However, his workload may be limited on Tuesday after missing several weeks, and it would be surprising to see him play on Wednesday in the second leg of a back-to-back against Portland.

Memphis Grizzlies guard/forward
Cedric Coward (knee) has been cleared to play on Tuesday against the Minnesota Timberwolves. He has been battling a knee injury lately and was listed as questionable on the initial injury report. Coward last played on Feb. 9, missing seven contests.
Cam Spencer and
Walter Clayton Jr. will likely have smaller roles in the rotation with Coward back in the lineup. The 22-year-old has been a regular starter since mid-November, averaging 13.3 points, 6.2 rebounds, and 2.9 assists during his maiden campaign.

Memphis Grizzlies point guard
Ty Jerome (thigh) will return from a two-game absence on Tuesday against the Minnesota Timberwolves. The team has listed him as available after initially listing him as questionable on the injury report. With Jerome back, we will likely see
Scotty Pippen Jr. return to the second unit. Jerome has averaged only 21.0 minutes per game across eight appearances this season, but he has been very impactful. Tuomas Iisalo's style of play appears to suit Jerome, as he has averaged 19.6 points, 2.8 rebounds, 5.6 assists, and 1.3 steals.

Minnesota Timberwolves guard/forward
Anthony Edwards (foot) will be active against the Memphis Grizzlies on Tuesday night. He was added to the injury report late, as Edwards continues to manage a right foot injury, but the team has upgraded his status from questionable to available. Edwards has played out of his mind against the Grizzlies this season, averaging 36.0 points across two games. His recent form has also been good, as the Timberwolves superstar has managed at least 30 points in three of his last five outings.

Oklahoma City Thunder guard/forward
Aaron Wiggins has been named a starter for Tuesday's contest against the Chicago Bulls, Justin Martinez of The Oklahoman reports. The defending champions are banged up right now, giving fringe players like Wiggins an opportunity to step up. In his previous starts this season, Wiggins has averaged 13.8 points, 4.5 rebounds, 2.5 assists, and 1.5 steals. It could be another busy night on offense for Wiggins, as Chicago has one of the worst defensive ratings in the league.

Phoenix Suns center
Khaman Maluach (thumb) is available to play ahead of Tuesday's game against the Sacramento Kings. Maluach will shed a questionable tag and officially suit up despite dealing with a right thumb sprain. He figures to serve as depth behind
Mark Williams and
Oso Ighodaro. Maluach will likely only play minutes in the single digits, which won't be enough to warrant streaming on Tuesday.

San Antonio Spurs forward
Harrison Barnes (ankle) was added late to the injury report and won't play against the Philadelphia 76ers on Tuesday due to soreness in his left ankle. Tonight's contest will be the first the 33-year-old has missed all season. His next opportunity to return will come on Thursday against the Detroit Pistons. Barnes is averaging 10.2 points and 2.9 rebounds across 26.9 minutes per contest in 60 appearances this campaign. With Barnes sidelined,
Julian Champagnie and
Keldon Johnson are expected to absorb additional minutes and could see increased offensive involvement against Philadelphia.

Miami Heat forward
Andrew Wiggins (knee) will be active against the Brooklyn Nets on Tuesday. The team has upgraded him from probable to available after Wiggins was added late to the injury report due to a knee issue. Wiggins has recently played his best basketball of the season, averaging 18.2 points, 6.0 rebounds, 2.7 assists, and 1.4 blocks in February. He netted over 48 percent of his triples last month and could do further damage on Tuesday against a team that allows opponents to shoot a league-high 38.1 percent from downtown.

Minnesota Timberwolves guard
Anthony Edwards (foot) is a late addition to the injury report ahead of Tuesday's game against the Memphis Grizzlies. Edwards is currently considered questionable due to a right foot issue. The superstar guard has played in 14 straight games, so the Wolves might play it safe and give Edwards the night off to rest. During that stretch, Edwards is averaging 28.9 points, 5.1 rebounds, and 3.9 assists in 37.0 minutes per game. If Edwards does sit out,
Bones Hyland and
Ayo Dosunmu would likely be asked to pick up the slack. Both players could be possible streaming options if Edwards is unable to play. Fantasy managers should check back ahead of tip-off for another update on Edwards.

Miami Heat guard
Davion Mitchell (shoulder) is available to play ahead of Tuesday's game against the Brooklyn Nets. Mitchell was added to the injury report ahead of Tuesday's contest due to a bruised left shoulder. It doesn't appear to be significant enough to force him to miss any time. Over the last 10 games, Mitchell is averaging 8.4 points, 2.6 rebounds, and 5.7 assists. He's usually consistent enough to be worth rostering in deep leagues at the minimum. Fantasy managers can feel safe getting Mitchell active in their lineups ahead of tip-off.

Portland Trail Blazers forward
Deni Avdija (back) is listed as questionable for Wednesday's tilt against the Memphis Grizzlies. Portland's leader has a chance to return from a four-game absence, though it's far from certain due to a nagging lower back injury. The last time Avdija tried to play through the injury, he lasted only 59 seconds.
Kris Murray (illness) has been starting in Avdija's place, but he is also considered questionable for Wednesday's game.
Vit Krejci would be the next man up to start after already getting a taste of first-unit action when Murray made an early exit on Sunday against Atlanta.

March 3, 2026
Cleveland Cavaliers forward
Dean Wade (ankle) will miss Tuesday's game against the Detroit Pistons. Tonight's contest will be the third in a row that the 29-year-old has been out of action due to a sprained right ankle. His next opportunity to suit up is Sunday against Boston. With Wade still on the shelf,
Jaylon Tyson will continue to carry a heavier workload during this evening's matchup.
