Los Angeles Clippers forward
Kawhi Leonard (ankle) will be active on Wednesday night against the Toronto Raptors, Farbod Esnaashari of RTB Sports reports. He will make a third straight appearance despite dealing with a left ankle sprain. Leonard has been very effective this month, averaging 29.4 points, 5.9 rebounds, 3.4 assists, and 1.9 steals while shooting 54.3 percent from the field. He has scored at least 25 points in 10 consecutive appearances.

Dallas Mavericks center
Daniel Gafford (shoulder) has been ruled out for Wednesday's clash against the Denver Nuggets. He was initially listed as questionable due to a right shoulder sprain. The big man suffered the injury in Monday's loss to Golden State.
Marvin Bagley III and
Dwight Powell will move up on the depth chart on Wednesday night, with one of them starting in Gafford's place. Bagley is the better fantasy option, even if he will be part of the second unit.

Portland Trail Blazers forward
Jerami Grant (foot) will play on Wednesday against the Milwaukee Bucks. The veteran has missed two games due to a sore left foot and was initially listed as questionable for Wednesday's contest. Grant's return will affect the playing time of
Sidy Cissoko and
Kris Murray. This month, Grant has been inconsistent, but he was on fire in his most recent outing, notching 26 points on 62.5 percent shooting against Minnesota. One of Grant's best offensive performances of the season was against Milwaukee earlier in the season when he had 35 points in 31 minutes.

Portland Trail Blazers center
Robert Williams III (knee) will play on Wednesday against the Milwaukee Bucks, Danny Marang of 1080 The Fan Portland reports. He missed the second game of a back-to-back on Monday against Brooklyn but has been cleared to return to the lineup on Wednesday. The team initially listed Williams III as questionable. Williams III will replace
Yang Hansen as
Donovan Clingan's backup. Despite coming off the bench, Williams III has averaged nearly a double-double this month, posting 9.0 points and 9.4 rebounds per game.

New Orleans Pelicans guard/forward
Trey Murphy III (ankle) is listed as questionable on the injury report ahead of the first leg of a back-to-back on Thursday against the Detroit Pistons. He is nursing a right ankle sprain and might miss his first game of the month.
Dejounte Murray (Achilles) is also questionable for Thursday's game, so the Pelicans could be without two of their leading players.
Jeremiah Fears and
Yves Missi will take on larger workloads if New Orleans isn't at full strength, while
Jordan Poole may also re-enter the rotation.

New Orleans Pelicans guard
Dejounte Murray (Achilles) is questionable for Thursday's clash against the Detroit Pistons. The Pelicans enter a back-to-back and are set to sit Murray for at least one of the games. They will face the Toronto Raptors on Friday. Murray has bounced back well from an awful Achilles injury, averaging 17.6 points, 5.1 rebounds, 6.7 assists, and 1.5 steals across 11 appearances this season.
Jeremiah Fears and
Yves Missi are set to have more prominent roles on Thursday if Murray doesn't play.

Sacramento Kings point guard
Russell Westbrook (toe) will be out indefinitely, the team announced on Wednesday. An MRI has revealed Westbrook is dealing with irritation in the joint of the first toe on his right foot. He will sit out a third consecutive game on Thursday against the Orlando Magic.
Malik Monk,
Devin Carter, and
Killian Hayes (toe) will have expanded roles until Westbrook returns, though Hayes is also currently dealing with a toe injury. Carter led Sacramento's starters in scoring with 18 points during Tuesday's loss to Charlotte, while Monk had a game-high 14 assists.

March 25, 2026
Utah Jazz guard
Cody Williams (shoulder) is upgraded to available ahead of Wednesday's game against the Washington Wizards. The second-year guard is back in the mix after missing Monday's game due to right shoulder soreness. Williams has been posting better numbers lately with a larger role in the rotation. He's averaging 16.2 points, 4.6 rebounds, and 4.6 assists across 35.0 minutes per game over his last nine contests. His value is certainly on the rise with the Jazz focused on playing their younger players down the stretch of the season. Fantasy managers in need of a streaming option should take a look at Williams.

Memphis Grizzlies guard
Jahmai Mashack (ankle) has been downgraded from questionable to out for Wednesday's game against the San Antonio Spurs. Maschack had some strong performances earlier this month, but unfortunately, he won't be available for a fifth consecutive game due to an ankle injury. His absence has opened up 26 minutes in the rotation, which will be absorbed by the rest of the bench. Memphis' reserve will also benefit from the absences of
Ty Jerome (ankle) and
Jaylen Wells (toe) on Wednesday.

March 25, 2026
Chicago Bulls forward/center
Jalen Smith (calf) won't return to Wednesday's game against the Philadelphia 76ers. Smith only played six minutes before suffering a right calf injury. The Bulls will play it safe and hold out Smith for the rest of Wednesday's game. This has been an ongoing issue for Smith throughout the season. It wouldn't be shocking if this injury causes him to miss more time.
Guerschon Yabusele and
Nick Richards should see larger roles in the rotation. Between the two, Richards has been the better fantasy option lately. He could offer some decent streaming appeal if Smith has a multiple-game absence.
--Andy WebbSource: K.C. Johnson
March 25, 2026
Memphis Grizzlies guard
Javon Small (back) will play on Wednesday against the San Antonio Spurs. He wasn't available for Monday's matchup with Atlanta and was initially listed as questionable for Wednesday's game. Small has played well in recent weeks, and
Ty Jerome's (ankle) absence on Wednesday night further increases his fantasy appeal. In March, Small has averaged 13.1 points, 4.6 rebounds, 4.0 assists, and 1.1 steals.
--Taavi PailkSource: NBA Injury Report
March 25, 2026
Utah Jazz forward/center
Kyle Filipowski (illness) has been ruled out for Wednesday's contest against the Washington Wizards. He was previously listed as doubtful, so his ultimate absence shouldn't surprise fantasy managers. The loss of Filipowski should mean larger roles in the rotation for
Oscar Tshiebwe and
Kevin Love. Between the two big men, Tshiebwe is the better streaming choice for Wednesday's slate. Love is barely seeing time on the court, while Tshiebwe has a regular role in the rotation. Filipowski figures to be back for Friday's game, but fantasy managers should check back for another update.
--Andy WebbSource: NBA Injury Report
March 25, 2026
Minnesota Timberwolves guard/forward
Ayo Dosunmu (calf) has been ruled out for Wednesday's encounter with the Houston Rockets. The team has downgraded him from questionable to out, meaning Minnesota has lost another key contributor. Dosunmu has recently enjoyed a strong stretch, filling in for
Anthony Edwards (knee) in the starting lineup.
Bones Hyland has also seen increased playing time due to Edwards' absence, and he could now take on additional responsibilities as the next man up in the first unit. Meanwhile, Minnesota may reintroduce
Mike Conley into the rotation because of the backcourt injuries.

March 25, 2026
Cleveland Cavaliers guard/forward
Jaylon Tyson (toe) has been ruled out ahead of Wednesday's game against the Miami Heat. This marks the third game in a row that Tyson has missed due to a lingering toe injury. His next chance to play will come on Friday, so fantasy managers should check back ahead of that game. His absence from the rotation should mean larger roles for
Keon Ellis and
Nae'Qwan Tomlin. Ellis will move into the starting five and should at least offer low-end streaming value for Wednesday's slate.
--Andy WebbSource: NBA Injury Report
March 25, 2026
Cleveland Cavaliers guard
Keon Ellis will run with the starters on Wednesday against the Miami Heat. Cleveland had to adjust its first unit after losing
Dean Wade (ankle) to injury just before tip-off. In seven starts this season, Ellis has averaged 7.7 points, 2.0 rebounds, 1.0 steals, and 1.0 blocks. With both
Donovan Mitchell and
James Harden in action, Ellis won't see much of the ball, but with increased playing time as a starter, he will have more chances to contribute on defense.
