According to Blake Murphy of Sportsnet.ca, Toronto Raptors guard/forward
Scottie Barnes (quadriceps) will play on Wednesday against the San Antonio Spurs. Barnes sustained a right quadriceps contusion during Tuesday's contest versus Oklahoma City but appears ready to suit up without restrictions. Before exiting late in the fourth quarter, the two-time All-Star recorded 15 points, three rebounds, seven assists, three steals and four blocks. With no reported limitations, Barnes should remain a high-upside fantasy option in all formats.

Memphis Grizzlies forward/center
Kyle Anderson (personal) has been ruled out for Wednesday's game against the Warriors after initially being listed as questionable with a knee issue. He will miss a third straight contest, keeping the frontcourt rotation thin.
Olivier-Maxence Prosper started last game and posted 17 points, three rebounds, one assist, and one block in 25 minutes.
GG Jackson II added 16 points, six rebounds, and three three-pointers in 26 minutes. Both are viable streamers if minutes hold in the mid-20s, while
Taylor Hendricks remains a deeper category option.

February 25, 2026
Oklahoma City Thunder guard/forward
Alex Caruso (ankle) has been ruled out for Wednesday's game against Detroit. The 31-year-old wing will sit out the second leg of the back-to-back, leaving rotation minutes available on the perimeter.
Jared McCain logged five points, four rebounds, and one steal in 10 minutes on Tuesday after producing 10 points with two three-pointers in 16 minutes against Cleveland.
Aaron Wiggins added eight points in 17 minutes last game. Both are deep-league streamers, while
Cason Wallace and
Isaiah Joe remain in elevated roles with increased shot volume.

Golden State Warriors forward/center
Al Horford (toe) is set to suit up Wednesday against Memphis after sitting out Tuesday's matchup with New Orleans. The 39-year-old totaled 22 points, one rebound, seven assists, two blocks and three steals in his most recent appearance against Denver on Sunday. With
Draymond Green (back) sidelined, Horford should continue to see steady frontcourt minutes, likely in the 20-25 range for Wednesday's contest.

February 25, 2026
Oklahoma City Thunder centers
Isaiah Hartenstein (calf) and
Chet Holmgren (back) will not play Wednesday against Detroit, and
Jalen Williams (hamstring) remains out, clearing significant frontcourt minutes.
Jaylin Williams is the primary beneficiary after posting two points, eight rebounds, and three assists in 16 minutes Tuesday. He profiles as a deep-league streamer for rebounds and short-term volume, with a path to 24 to 28 minutes if he starts.
Kenrich Williams and
Branden Carlson could join the rotation as situational options.
Cason Wallace and
Isaiah Joe retain secondary usage bumps.

February 25, 2026
Golden State Warriors forward/center
Draymond Green (back) won't play Wednesday against the Memphis Grizzlies. The 35-year-old veteran will sit out the second set of a back-to-back after finishing with 11 points, seven rebounds, six assists and two blocks during Tuesday's loss to the Pelicans. Green should be back on the floor on Saturday versus the Lakers, but in the meantime,
Al Horford and
Quinten Post will be relied upon to carry the team's frontcourt. However, neither player qualifies as a viable streaming option this evening.

February 25, 2026
Golden State Warriors guard
De'Anthony Melton (knee) won't play on Wednesday against the Memphis Grizzlies. Melton will have the second set of back-to-back games off for injury maintenance after posting 28 points, four rebounds, three assists, and one steal in 28 minutes during Tuesday's loss to New Orleans.
Draymond Green (back) has also been ruled out, so Guy Santos will likely continue to see an expanded role in the Warriors' rotation.

February 25, 2026
Cleveland Cavaliers guard
Donovan Mitchell (groin) is unavailable for Wednesday's clash with the Milwaukee Bucks. Mitchell is dealing with a strained right groin and will sit out the second half of a back-to-back after finishing with 23 points, four assists, five rebounds and three steals across 31 minutes in Tuesday's 109-94 win over the Knicks. Cleveland's backcourt could also be without
James Harden (thumb), who is listed as questionable. If Harden is unable to suit up,
Dennis Schroder,
Sam Merrill, and
Jaylon Tyson would likely take on expanded roles during Wednesday's contest.
--Andrew LennoxSource: NBA Injury Report
February 25, 2026
Cleveland Cavaliers forward/center
Evan Mobley (calf) will not play in Wednesday's matchup against the Milwaukee Bucks. The contest is the second leg of a back-to-back, and the Cavaliers are opting to rest Mobley as he continues his recovery from a left calf strain that previously sidelined him for seven games. Cleveland appears to be taking a cautious approach to avoid any setback. In his absence,
Dean Wade and
Nae'Qwan Tomlin should see increased minutes, making them potential short-term streaming options in deeper fantasy formats.

According to Shams Charania of ESPN, Cleveland Cavaliers guard
James Harden (thumb) plans to play through a fractured right thumb. However, he remains listed as questionable for Wednesday's matchup against the Milwaukee Bucks. The 36-year-old sustained a non-displaced fracture on his non-shooting hand during Tuesday's 109-94 win over the Knicks. A visit to a hand specialist confirmed that surgery will not be required. If Harden is ultimately ruled out for tonight's contest, fantasy managers can view this as a short-term absence rather than a lingering concern, as he is not expected to miss extended time.

February 25, 2026
Memphis Grizzlies guard
Ty Jerome (illness) is poised to return to the lineup on Wednesday against the Golden State Warriors. The team has not included him on the injury report. Jerome was unavailable for Monday's matchup with Sacramento due to illness. Since making his season debut in late January, Jerome has averaged 19.3 points, 2.7 rebounds, 5.7 assists, and 1.3 steals in just 20.6 minutes per game. His efforts include a 19-point, seven-assist effort against the Warriors, who have the seventh-worst defensive record in the league against point guards.

Houston Rockets guard/forward
Amen Thompson (quadriceps) has been ruled out for Wednesday's clash against the Sacramento Kings. He will miss a fantastic fantasy matchup with a sore left quadriceps. The Rockets are likely to use
Reed Sheppard as Thompson's replacement in the starting lineup. Sheppard has already built some momentum coming off the bench and would be an even more appealing fantasy option as a member of the first unit. The 21-year-old has averaged 13.8 points, 3.8 rebounds, 4.5 assists, and 2.3 steals in eight starts this season.
--Taavi PailkSource: NBA Injury Report
February 25, 2026
Denver Nuggets point guard
Jamal Murray (hamstring) is listed as probable for Wednesday's tilt against the Boston Celtics. Murray is experiencing tightness in his right hamstring, but the issue likely isn't serious enough to keep him off the floor. The Canadian star has missed only five games all season and is riding a four-game 20-point streak. Murray had a big 22-point, 17-assist double-double when Denver and Boston locked horns for the first time this season. Typically, point guards don't have a lot of joy against the Celtics, who allow the sixth-fewest fantasy points in the league to the position.

Dallas Mavericks forward
Khris Middleton (shoulder) didn't play in the second half of Tuesday's victory over the Brooklyn Nets. After colliding with Nets center
Nicolas Claxton in the second quarter, Middleton was ruled out for the second half with a right shoulder stinger. The veteran forward finished with six points, five rebounds, one assist, and one steal in 12 minutes. It was an unfortunate blow for Middleton, who has been playing well lately. He entered Tuesday's game averaging 16.0 points and 4.8 rebounds across his last four appearances.
Caleb Martin started the second half in Middleton's place but made little impact, tallying three points, five rebounds, two assists, and one steal.

February 25, 2026
Dallas Mavericks forward/center
P.J. Washington (ankle) was injured late in Tuesday's win over the Brooklyn Nets. He appeared to have sprained his left ankle, limping off the court with a little over a minute remaining in the fourth quarter. Washington scored an efficient 13 points and tallied four rebounds, two assists, and one block. Dallas also lost
Khris Middleton (shoulder) during Tuesday's contest. As a result, the rotation could have a very different look on Thursday night against the Sacramento Kings.
Caleb Martin may get a chance to start, with
Klay Thompson potentially more involved as well.
