Los Angeles Lakers point guard
Luka Doncic (hamstring) has been ruled out for Thursday's matchup with the Dallas Mavericks. He will skip the meeting with his former team due to a left hamstring strain. This will be Doncic's fourth consecutive absence.
Marcus Smart,
Luke Kennard, and
Kobe Bufkin have a chance to see more action with Doncic out of commission. Meanwhile,
LeBron James and
Austin Reaves are responsible for keeping the Lakers' offense ticking.

Golden State Warriors guard/forward
Will Richard (knee) won't play on Wednesday against the San Antonio Spurs. He is battling a right knee contusion, and Golden State has downgraded Richard from questionable to out. After having some standout moments early in the campaign, Richard has not been a major part of the rotation in recent weeks. Across this month, he has been limited to 16.5 minutes per game.
De'Anthony Melton,
Gary Payton II, and
Brandin Podziemski will absorb Richard's minutes on Wednesday night.

Golden State Warriors guard
De'Anthony Melton (glute) will play on Wednesday against the San Antonio Spurs. He has been upgraded from questionable to available. Melton has been a starter for three consecutive games, averaging 10.7 points and 2.7 steals in 24.6 minutes. The 27-year-old will be a crucial defensive piece against San Antonio's backcourt, which is spearheaded by
De'Aaron Fox. Offensively, this is a bad matchup for him, as San Antonio ranks third in defensive efficiency.

Denver Nuggets guard/forward
Spencer Jones (concussion) will not return to action on Wednesday against the Memphis Grizzlies. There was initially a chance Jones would be back after the team listed him as questionable on the injury report. However, he has been ruled out ahead of tip-off.
Julian Strawther is set to remain in the starting lineup and has plenty to offer fantasy teams, having averaged 19.5 points, 5.5 rebounds, and 1.0 steals over the last two games.

Denver Nuggets guard/forward
Christian Braun (ankle) has been cleared to play on Wednesday against the Memphis Grizzlies. He is ready to suit up for a fifth consecutive game after initially having a probable tag on the injury report. Braun has started to pick up momentum and matched his season high with 20 points in Monday's loss to Cleveland. He also had five rebounds and a pair of assists. With a softer defensive matchup on Wednesday night, Braun may have an even bigger impact.

Memphis Grizzlies guard/forward
Cedric Coward (knee) and guard
Walter Clayton Jr. (calf) have been ruled out for Wednesday's game against Denver, with Coward resting a sore right knee and Clayton sidelined by a right calf contusion. The short-handed backcourt opens minutes for
Ty Jerome and
Scotty Pippen Jr., who combined for 30 points and 11 assists in the last outing, while
Cam Spencer and
Jaylen Wells should see expanded roles. Jerome profiles as the top streamer, with Pippen a viable deep-league add until Memphis gets healthier.

Denver Nuggets point guard
Jamal Murray (hip) will be in the lineup on Wednesday against the Memphis Grizzlies. The team has officially listed him as available after initially giving Murray a probable designation on the injury report. On Wednesday, Murray has a chance to record his first three-game double-double streak of the season. He narrowly missed one in his first meeting with the Grizzlies this season, posting 29 points and eight assists in a 125-115 win on Nov. 24.

Denver Nuggets center
Nikola Jokic (ankle) will play against the Memphis Grizzlies on Wednesday night. The Nuggets superstar is dealing with an ankle sprain, but the team has upgraded his status from probable to available. Jokic can crush any opposition, but Wednesday's matchup looks particularly juicy for him, as the Grizzlies lack size. The three-time MVP is aiming for his fourth straight triple-double, a feat Jokic hasn't accomplished since the opening games of the season.

New Orleans Pelicans center
Yves Missi (calf) won't play on Wednesday night against the Miami Heat. The 21-year-old big man was a late scratch for the contest due to a sore left calf. After a promising rookie campaign, Missi has served as a backup big in 2025-26, averaging 5.6 points and 5.6 rebounds in 19.3 minutes.
Karlo Matkovic should handle most of Missi's minutes as the primary backup to
Derik Queen on Wednesday.

Utah Jazz forward
Lauri Markkanen will play limited minutes on Wednesday against the Sacramento Kings, Andy Larsen of The Salt Lake Tribune reports. "The plan for him is to play tonight on some restricted minutes, and then we'll see how he's feeling after the game, and we'll address tomorrow," Jazz head coach Will Hardy told reporters. Utah finishes a back-to-back on Thursday against Portland. Markkanen hasn't actually logged his normal minutes for a while, sitting out fourth quarters. He hasn't played more than 27 minutes in any of his last four appearances. Despite a lighter workload, Markkanen has still made an impact, averaging 22.3 points and 5.8 rebounds over the last four games.

Houston Rockets guard/forward
Tari Eason (lower leg) has been upgraded from questionable to available for Wednesday's game against the Clippers, marking his first appearance in both legs of a back-to-back set this season. Eason has averaged 13.6 points, 6.8 rebounds, 2.6 three-pointers, and 1.2 steals in 31.3 minutes over his last five games, though he managed just six points on 20 percent shooting Tuesday. He remains a serviceable category contributor, especially in steals and threes. His availability keeps
Jabari Smith Jr. and
Amen Thompson in stable roles while limiting deep-league minutes for
Josh Okogie.

February 11, 2026
Houston Rockets forward/center
Alperen Sengun (lower leg) has been upgraded to available for Wednesday's game against the Clippers after initially being listed as probable. He will play the second leg of a back-to-back after logging 35 minutes with 22 points, seven rebounds, and five assists in Tuesday's 102-95 win. Sengun has averaged 19.6 points, 10.6 rebounds, 5.8 assists, 1.0 steals, and 1.0 blocks in 33.1 minutes over his last five games. He remains a locked-in fantasy anchor, while
Clint Capela stays in a limited reserve role behind him.

Phoenix Suns guard
Jalen Green (hamstring) won't play in the second leg of a back-to-back on Wednesday against the Oklahoma City Thunder. He will exit the lineup after a 12-point, four-assist effort across 20 minutes in Tuesday's win over Dallas.
Devin Booker (ankle) also won't be in action against the defending champions, making
Collin Gillespie and
Jordan Goodwin more appealing fantasy options. With the number of backcourt absences, we are also likely to see
Jamaree Bouyea in the rotation on Wednesday.

February 11, 2026
Phoenix Suns guard
Devin Booker (ankle) will miss Wednesday's meeting with the Oklahoma City Thunder. The team has ruled him out for the game after initially listing him as questionable. Booker played 32 minutes in Tuesday's win over Dallas and will rest his right ankle on Wednesday night.
Jalen Green (hamstring) will also depart the lineup, which should result in additional minutes for
Collin Gillespie and
Jordan Goodwin. Booker's absence also opens up additional scoring opportunities for his teammates.

February 11, 2026
Miami Heat forward
Andrew Wiggins (toe) won't suit up on Wednesday against the New Orleans Pelicans, Anthony Chiang of the Miami Herald reports. The team initially listed Wiggins as questionable for the contest due to toe inflammation. Wiggins joins
Tyler Herro (ribs),
Pelle Larsson (forearm), and
Norman Powell (back) on the sidelines. This will give
Jaime Jaquez Jr.,
Simone Fontecchio,
Nikola Jovic,
Kasparas Jakucionis, and
Dru Smith more opportunities to showcase their talent. Jaquez Jr. has the most fantasy upside, but he has struggled recently, scoring just 13 points across the last two games.
