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.

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.

March 3, 2026
Boston Celtics guard/forward
Jaylen Brown (illness) is not listed on the injury report for Wednesday's matchup with the Charlotte Hornets. The MVP candidate skipped the first game of the week on Monday against Milwaukee due to illness. Brown has tallied 26.6 points, 9.8 rebounds, and 8.0 assists per game since the All-Star break. His return to the lineup will bump
Hugo Gonzalez back to the bench, while
Derrick White and
Payton Pritchard will be less involved in the offense.

Dallas Mavericks forward
Caleb Martin (back) will play on Tuesday against the Charlotte Hornets, Mike Curtis of The Dallas Morning News reports. Martin is dealing with a sore lower back but is ready to make a second consecutive appearance. After missing one game because of his back issue, Martin played well on Sunday against Oklahoma City, leading his team with 18 points in 30 minutes. With
P.J. Washington (ankle) back in the lineup, Martin could be pushed to the bench on Tuesday night, which would be a blow to his fantasy prospects.

March 3, 2026
Washington Wizards forward/center
Anthony Gill (illness) has been ruled out ahead of Tuesday's game against the Orlando Magic. Gill will miss both legs of the back-to-back set due to a lingering illness. The Wizards are extremely banged up at the center spot, so Gill has been playing big minutes lately. Given the injuries, the Wizards are likely going to use a committee approach to fill the void at center.
Will Riley,
Julian Reese, and
Justin Champagnie should all see increased playing time on Tuesday. Among the three, Riley is likely going to be the most consistent streaming option for Tuesday's slate.

March 3, 2026
Dallas Mavericks forward
P.J. Washington (ankle) has been cleared to return to the lineup on Tuesday against the Charlotte Hornets, Mike Curtis of The Dallas Morning News reports. Washington has battled ankle issues all year, with the most recent one keeping him out of action for three games. The 27-year-old has enjoyed a solid season on a struggling team, averaging 14.3 points and 7.1 rebounds per game. On Tuesday night, Washington may be more active on the offensive end, as Dallas will be without
Cooper Flagg (foot) and
Naji Marshall (finger), two of the team's top three scorers.

March 3, 2026
Dallas Mavericks guard/forward
Klay Thompson (adductor) is unavailable for Tuesday's matchup with the Charlotte Hornets. Thompson sustained a right adductor contusion in Sunday's 100-87 loss to OKC and exited after just 15 minutes on the floor. With Thompson sidelined, extra minutes will be available for
AJ Johnson and veteran
Khris Middleton. Johnson logged six points, four rebounds, four assists, and one steal in 22 minutes on Sunday, and he has been one of the most productive Mavs lately as the team deals with multiple injuries in the rotation.
--Andrew LennoxSource: NBA Injury Report
March 3, 2026
Orlando Magic center
Wendell Carter Jr. (ankle) is ruled out ahead of Tuesday's game against the Washington Wizards. Carter was a late addition to the injury report and will now officially sit out due to left ankle soreness. This is the first time that Carter has missed a game since the middle of January. This season, Carter is averaging 11.5 points, 7.6 rebounds, and 2.1 assists across 29.8 minutes per game this season.
Moritz Wagner and
Goga Bitadze figure to split up the extra minutes during Tuesday's game. His next chance to play will come on Thursday, so fantasy managers will need to check back ahead of that game.
