Brooklyn Nets center
Nicolas Claxton (hip) has been ruled out for Wednesday's matchup with the Indiana Pacers. Due to a sore right hip, he will be unavailable for only the third time this season. Claxton missed a pair of games in early January, and
Day'Ron Sharpe stepped in for him as the starting center. Sharpe will likely return to the first unit on Wednesday, having averaged 12.0 points, 7.3 rebounds, 4.0 assists, and 2.3 steals in his previous starts this season.

Philadelphia 76ers forward
Dominick Barlow (illness) will be active against the New York Knicks on Wednesday. He is back in the mix after missing one game due to illness. Barlow will likely reclaim his starting spot from
Trendon Watford. Despite being a starter for most of the campaign, Barlow hasn't provided much help to fantasy squads. He has averaged 8.9 points and 5.2 rebounds in a starting role.

Milwaukee Bucks forward
Pete Nance (ankle) will play on Wednesday against the Orlando Magic. He has shed a questionable tag and is set to provide frontcourt cover off the bench. Nance has enjoyed a good six-game stretch, averaging 10.2 points and 3.7 rebounds in 18.7 minutes. Opposing benches shoot a league-high 48.4 percent against Orlando, giving an excellent opportunity for Nance to build on his recent momentum.

Chicago Bulls point guard
Tre Jones (hamstring) won't play on Wednesday against the Boston Celtics. The 26-year-old will miss his 11th straight game due to a strained left hamstring. His next chance to return will be after the All-Star breakon Feb. 19 against Toronto.
Josh Giddey (hamstring) will also remain sidelined, so
Anfernee Simons and
Jaden Ivey will likely continue to start in the backcourt. There will also be plenty of minutes available off the bench for
Collin Sexton and
Rob Dillingham.

Milwaukee Bucks guard
Ryan Rollins (foot) will miss the first game of a back-to-back on Wednesday against the Orlando Magic. He was a late addition to the injury report due to right foot plantar fasciitis. Rollins' absence could give
Cam Thomas a chance to start, while
Gary Harris is another option. At the same time, there will be more shots available to
Kevin Porter Jr.,
Kyle Kuzma, and
AJ Green.

Philadelphia 76ers guard/forward
Quentin Grimes (illness) will miss a second straight contest on Wednesday against the New York Knicks. Philadelphia ruled him out for the game after initially listing him as questionable due to illness.
Kyle Lowry,
MarJon Beauchamp, and
Dalen Terry could all benefit from Grimes' absence on Wednesday, but they shouldn't be considered as fantasy options. With the All-Star break approaching, Grimes' next chance to return will come on Feb. 19 against the Atlanta Hawks.

Chicago Bulls guard
Josh Giddey (hamstring) won't play against the Boston Celtics on Wednesday. The 23-year-old will miss his eighth game in a row due to a left hamstring strain and his next chance to return to action is after the All-Star break, Feb. 19 against Toronto.
Tre Jones (hamstring) is also out tonight (hamstring), likely leaving plenty of extra minutes for new Bulls
Anfernee Simons,
Jaden Ivey,
Collin Sexton, and
Rob Dillingham.

Philadelphia 76ers center
Joel Embiid (knee) has been ruled out for Wednesday's big matchup with the New York Knicks. He will be sidelined for a second consecutive game to manage his right knee injury.
Andre Drummond and
Adem Bona are set to fill in for Embiid again. The former is the more attractive fantasy option, as Drummond will likely start at center. As a member of the first unit, Drummond has averaged 8.9 points and 10.8 rebounds this season.

Atlanta Hawks forward
Zaccharie Risacher (quadriceps) has been upgraded to available for Wednesday's matchup with the Charlotte Hornets. The French forward was initially considered questionable due to a left quadriceps contusion. Risacher has struggled to regain form since returning from a knee injury, averaging 7.0 points, 5.0 rebounds, and 1.0 steals in 21.5 minutes per game this month. However, this stretch includes a strong 18-point, three-block performance against Charlotte on Feb. 7.

According to NBA writer Justin Russo, Los Angeles Clippers forward
Nicolas Batum (rest) is unavailable for Wednesday's matchup with the Houston Rockets. The 37-year-old did not log any minutes in Tuesday's loss to Houston and will now get the second half of the back-to-back off for maintenance purposes. Batum is averaging 4.4 points and 2.6 rebounds in 19.5 minutes per game, so his absence is unlikely to carry much fantasy impact this evening.

Atlanta Hawks guard
Dyson Daniels (ankle) will return from a one-game absence on Wednesday against the Charlotte Hornets. He was initially listed as questionable for the game after Daniels missed Monday's loss to Minnesota with an ankle issue.
CJ McCollum had a big 38-point performance on Monday as Daniels' replacement in the first unit. The veteran is set to land back on the bench for Wednesday's action, but McCollum will still play an important role for the team. Daniels has averaged 15.7 points, 6.0 rebounds, 5.0 assists, and 1.7 steals in three matchups with the Hornets this season.

Atlanta Hawks forward
Jalen Johnson (knee) has received the green light to play on Wednesday against the Charlotte Hornets. He missed Monday's loss to Minnesota with a knee problem and was initially listed as questionable for Wednesday's contest. With Johnson back,
Asa Newell must settle for a bench role. Johnson has had an extraordinary campaign, saving some of his best performances for the Hornets. In three meetings with Charlotte, Johnson has averaged 34.0 points, 9.3 rebounds, 9.3 assists, and 1.7 steals.

Boston Celtics forward
Sam Hauser (back) will be active against the Chicago Bulls on Wednesday. He has been cleared to return from a back issue that kept Hauser sidelined on Sunday against the New York Knicks. Hauser's return will likely bump
Baylor Scheierman to the bench, where he won't have any fantasy value. In recent appearances, Hauser has blown hot and cold, shooting only 20 percent from deep this month. As a three-point sniper, Hauser is in a good spot to bounce back on Wednesday, as Chicago allows the eighth-most three-point makes in the league.

Boston Celtics center
Neemias Queta (ankle) will play on Wednesday night against the Chicago Bulls. The team has upgraded his status from probable to available. Queta has recently been dealing with a right ankle sprain. Even with
Nikola Vucevic in town, Queta has remained Boston's starting center. The two have shared the workload evenly so far. As a much more skilled offensive player, Vucevic has a higher fantasy ceiling, though Queta also has strengths in his game, giving Boston two quality big men.

Washington Wizards center
Tristan Vukcevic (illness) will miss Wednesday's matchup with the Cleveland Cavaliers due to an illness. The 22-year-old big man is averaging 7.5 points, 2.5 rebounds and 1.1 assists across 11.9 minutes per contest in 33 outings this season. Washington's frontcourt could also be without
Alexandre Sarr (hamstring), who is listed as questionable, so veteran forward
Anthony Gill may take on more playing time than usual.
