Charlotte Hornets center
Moussa Diabate won't play Wednesday night against the Atlanta Hawks or against the Houston Rockets after the All-Star break due to a two-game suspension. Diabate was partially responsible for starting a scuffle with Detroit center
Jalen Duren, which escalated into a brawl. Duren,
Isaiah Stewart, and
Miles Bridges were all tagged with suspensions of various lengths. Rookie center
Ryan Kalkbrenner should return to the starting lineup while Diabate serves his suspension. Diabate is averaging a career-best 8.2 points and 8.6 rebounds. He'll be eligible to return on February 20th against the Cleveland Cavaliers.

The NBA has suspended Charlotte Hornets forward
Miles Bridges for four games, following a brawl in Monday night's matchup between the Hornets and Pistons. Bridges threw punches at
Jalen Duren and
Isaiah Stewart before his ejection. The two Pistons and Charlotte center
Moussa Diabate (two games) also picked up suspensions.
Grant Williams should pick up a bulk of Bridges' vacated minutes. Bridges is allowed to return to game action on February 24th against the Chicago Bulls, following the All-Star break.

Detroit Pistons center
Jalen Duren has been suspended for two games for his role in a brawl between the Pistons and Hornets on Monday. Duren was part of the initial scuffle between the two teams, which spread into a widespread fight. Charlotte's
Moussa Diabate (two games),
Miles Bridges (four), and Detroit's
Isaiah Stewart (seven) also picked up suspensions for their roles in the brawl. Duren won't play Wednesday night against the Raptors or against the Knicks on February 19th. He will, however, be eligible to play in the All-Star Game on Sunday. Backup center
Paul Reed will see a heavy uptick in minutes with Duren and Stewart away from the team.

Detroit Pistons forward
Isaiah Stewart will begin serving a seven-game suspension on Wednesday night when his team visits the Toronto Raptors. Stewart was ejected from Monday's game after leaving the bench area during a brawl. He threw multiple punches at Hornets forward
Miles Bridges. who will also be suspended for four games. Detroit center
Jalen Duren (two games) and Charlotte center
Moussa Diabate (two games) also picked up suspensions. With Duren and Stewart out of the lineup,
Paul Reed is set to see increased usage in the Detroit rotation. Stewart will be eligible to return on March 3rd against the Cleveland Cavaliers.

Boston Celtics forward
Sam Hauser (back) is expected to play on Wednesday against the Chicago Bulls. The team has listed him as probable for the contest after Hauser missed Sunday's loss to the Knicks with lower back spasms.
Baylor Scheierman started in Hauser's absence, recording 10 points, 13 rebounds, and five assists. As a reserve, Scheierman has been limited to 11.8 minutes per game and won't have any fantasy value if Hauser bumps him back to the bench on Wednesday night.

Cleveland Cavaliers forward
Dean Wade (ankle) won't play in Wednesday's contest against the Washington Wizards. He will miss a third consecutive game due to a left ankle sprain.
Evan Mobley (calf) is missing as well from the frontcourt, giving more looks in the rotation to
Nae'Qwan Tomlin and
Thomas Bryant. While the two have done well in their roles, they don't see enough action to be considered as viable fantasy options. This is the final game before the All-Star break, and both Wade and Mobley could be back when play resumes on Feb. 19.

February 11, 2026
Detroit Pistons forward
Ron Holland II (personal) will skip a second consecutive game on Wednesday against the Toronto Raptors. He remains away from the team for personal reasons. Holland II averages 20.7 minutes per game this season, making him a significant loss from the rotation. With Holland II unavailable, Jevonte Green and
Kevin Huerter see more playing time. Both were quiet in Monday's win over Charlotte. It could be a different story on Wednesday if
Jalen Duren and
Isaiah Stewart are suspended for their roles in Monday's brawl against the Hornets.

Memphis Grizzlies forward/center
Santi Aldama (knee) will remain out on Wednesday against the Denver Nuggets. The Spaniard has played in only two of Memphis' last 11 games, missing time due to right knee injury management. With
Jaren Jackson Jr. and
Jock Landale gone, the Grizzlies are very thin in the frontcourt and haven't had a traditional big man in the rotation.
Kyle Anderson has served as the starting center, averaging 9.5 points, 5.0 rebounds, 2.0 steals, and 2.0 blocks over two games since rejoining the team.

Oklahoma City Thunder guard
Ajay Mitchell (abdomen) will miss his 10th consecutive game on Wednesday against the Milwaukee Bucks. The 23-year-old sophomore departed the lineup three weeks ago due to an abdominal strain and doesn't appear to have a timeline for his return. The Thunder's backcourt also remains without
Shai Gilgeous-Alexander (abdomen), boosting the fantasy appeal of
Cason Wallace,
Isaiah Joe, and
Jared McCain. Wallace is a regular starter for the defending champions and offers the most to fantasy teams, though Joe has also played well lately. He has averaged 16.0 points and 1.8 steals across his last four appearances.

San Antonio Spurs guard
Stephon Castle (pelvis) was limited to 11:58 of action in Tuesday's blowout win over the Los Angeles Lakers. He suffered a pelvic contusion after a hard fall while attempting to block a dunk attempt. This was the first game of a back-to-back for San Antonio, and due to his early exit on Tuesday, Castle should be considered questionable for Wednesday's matchup with the Golden State Warriors.
Dylan Harper, who notched 15 points, three rebounds, and six assists in 27 minutes on Tuesday, is set to play a larger role in the rotation if Castle can't play.

Cleveland Cavaliers forward/center
Evan Mobley (calf) will be sidelined for a seventh consecutive game on Wednesday against the Washington Wizards. On Jan. 27, he was ruled out for 1-3 weeks due to a left calf strain. While there was a chance he would return before the All-Star break, Cleveland won't bring Mobley back until the regular season continues next week. In Mobley's absence,
Thomas Bryant has been part of the rotation, but he hasn't offered much from a fantasy perspective. Bryant is averaging 8.3 points and 3.8 rebounds this month.

Los Angeles Lakers center
Deandre Ayton (knee) has been ruled out for Tuesday night's action against the San Antonio Spurs, ESPN's Dave McMenamin reports. Ayton was initially listed as questionable for the game. The Lakers will be extremely shorthanded for this matchup, with
Luka Doncic (hamstring),
LeBron James (foot),
Austin Reaves (calf), and
Marcus Smart (ankle) also out.
Jaxson Hayes is set to take over the starting center role from Ayton, making his sixth start of the campaign. Previously, Hayes has averaged 10.6 points and 4.2 rebounds as a member of the first unit.

Toronto Raptors center
Jakob Poeltl (back) seems to be nearing his return after picking up a questionable tag on the injury report ahead of Wednesday's game against the Detroit Pistons. The Austrian big man has been limited by a back issue throughout the season, and last saw action on Dec. 21. Toronto could really use Poeltl on Wednesday after losing
Collin Murray-Boyles (thumb). However, given his lengthy absence, Poeltl may only see limited minutes on Wednesday night. In that case, the frontcourt will rely heavily on
Sandro Mamukelashvili.

February 10, 2026
Toronto Raptors forward/center
Collin Murray-Boyles (thumb) won't play on Wednesday night against the Detroit Pistons. The rookie big man aggravated a thumb injury in Sunday's win over Indiana and will be kept out of action through the All-Star break to allow proper healing.
Jakob Poeltl (back) has been tagged as questionable on the injury report and could return on Wednesday. Still, even with the Austrian giant back in the mix,
Sandro Mamukelashvili appears set for a busy night against the Eastern Conference leaders.

February 10, 2026
Brooklyn Nets center
Nicolas Claxton (hip) could miss Wednesday's game against the Indiana Pacers after landing on the injury report with a questionable tag. Claxton was not listed on the initial injury report on Tuesday, but the team later added him because of right hip soreness. It would be a shame if Claxton had to sit out Wednesday's action, as he just posted a season-high 28 points on Monday night against Chicago.
Day'Ron Sharpe's fantasy stock would get a big boost if Claxton gave up his starting spot to him on Wednesday. In three previous starts this season, Sharpe has averaged 12.0 points, 7.3 rebounds, 4.0 assists, 1.0 blocks, and 2.3 steals.
