Obi Toppin Probable for Wednesday's Action
Indiana Pacers forward Obi Toppin (foot) is listed as probable for Wednesday's matchup with the Los Angeles Clippers. He appears on track to make his third consecutive appearance. However, Toppin has seen only limited minutes since returning from a fractured foot. He has logged 19 total minutes in his first two games back from injury. Toppin's minutes will likely remain around the same on Wednesday night, meaning he doesn't have anything to offer fantasy managers at present.

Aaron Nesmith Tagged as Questionable for Wednesday
Indiana Pacers guard/forward Aaron Nesmith (ankle) is considered questionable for Wednesday's game against the Los Angeles Clippers. He has missed five games with a right ankle sprain and may sit out another contest against the Clippers. Ben Sheppard has seen regular action as a starter during Nesmith's absence and will lose minutes if he returns on Wednesday night. Since Nesmith left the lineup, Sheppard has had his best spell of the season, averaging 10.6 points, 3.6 rebounds, 1.8 assists, and 1.0 steals.

Andrew Nembhard Could Miss Another Contest Wednesday
Indiana Pacers guard Andrew Nembhard (back, neck) is considered questionable for Wednesday's meeting with the Los Angeles Clippers. The 26-year-old is bothered by lower back and neck soreness and could sit out a second consecutive game. With Nembhard on the shelf, Kam Jones joined the first unit on Sunday against the Memphis Grizzlies. The 24-year-old rookie put in solid work, finishing with a 10-point, 10-assist double-double, the first of his career. Jones is expected to maintain a larger role until Nembhard returns.

Pascal Siakam Listed as Questionable for Wednesday
Indiana Pacers forward Pascal Siakam (wrist) is carrying a questionable tag on the injury report ahead of Wednesday's clash against the Los Angeles Clippers. The four-time All-Star has missed six of the last seven games, including each of the last three. Due to a left wrist sprain, Siakam may sit out another contest on Wednesday night. Jarace Walker, Kobe Brown, and Micah Potter have benefited from Siakam's absence due to health issues. Walker has the most fantasy appeal of the three players, having carved out a regular starting role.

Santi Aldama Now Ruled Out Tuesday
Memphis Grizzlies forward/center Santi Aldama (knee) won't play on Tuesday against the Minnesota Timberwolves after all. Prior to tip-off, the team upgraded his status from questionable to available, and Aldama was even expected to start. However, he has now been ruled out. With Aldama remaining on the shelf for an 11th consecutive game, GG Jackson II and Olivier-Maxence Prosper will continue to carry a heavy workload in the frontcourt.

Santi Aldama Available Versus Timberwolves
Memphis Grizzlies forward/center Santi Aldama (knee) will return to action on Tuesday night against the Minnesota Timberwolves. He has been on the shelf for a month while managing a right knee injury. Aldama has played an important role for the Grizzlies, averaging 14.0 points, 6.7 rebounds, and 2.9 assists in 27.9 minutes this season. However, his workload may be limited on Tuesday after missing several weeks, and it would be surprising to see him play on Wednesday in the second leg of a back-to-back against Portland.

Cedric Coward Returns to Grizzlies Lineup
Memphis Grizzlies guard/forward Cedric Coward (knee) has been cleared to play on Tuesday against the Minnesota Timberwolves. He has been battling a knee injury lately and was listed as questionable on the initial injury report. Coward last played on Feb. 9, missing seven contests. Cam Spencer and Walter Clayton Jr. will likely have smaller roles in the rotation with Coward back in the lineup. The 22-year-old has been a regular starter since mid-November, averaging 13.3 points, 6.2 rebounds, and 2.9 assists during his maiden campaign.

Ty Jerome Back in Action Tuesday
Memphis Grizzlies point guard Ty Jerome (thigh) will return from a two-game absence on Tuesday against the Minnesota Timberwolves. The team has listed him as available after initially listing him as questionable on the injury report. With Jerome back, we will likely see Scotty Pippen Jr. return to the second unit. Jerome has averaged only 21.0 minutes per game across eight appearances this season, but he has been very impactful. Tuomas Iisalo's style of play appears to suit Jerome, as he has averaged 19.6 points, 2.8 rebounds, 5.6 assists, and 1.3 steals.

Anthony Edwards Will Suit Up Tuesday
Minnesota Timberwolves guard/forward Anthony Edwards (foot) will be active against the Memphis Grizzlies on Tuesday night. He was added to the injury report late, as Edwards continues to manage a right foot injury, but the team has upgraded his status from questionable to available. Edwards has played out of his mind against the Grizzlies this season, averaging 36.0 points across two games. His recent form has also been good, as the Timberwolves superstar has managed at least 30 points in three of his last five outings.

Aaron Wiggins Starting Tuesday
Oklahoma City Thunder guard/forward Aaron Wiggins has been named a starter for Tuesday's contest against the Chicago Bulls, Justin Martinez of The Oklahoman reports. The defending champions are banged up right now, giving fringe players like Wiggins an opportunity to step up. In his previous starts this season, Wiggins has averaged 13.8 points, 4.5 rebounds, 2.5 assists, and 1.5 steals. It could be another busy night on offense for Wiggins, as Chicago has one of the worst defensive ratings in the league.

Khaman Maluach is Available on Tuesday
Phoenix Suns center Khaman Maluach (thumb) is available to play ahead of Tuesday's game against the Sacramento Kings. Maluach will shed a questionable tag and officially suit up despite dealing with a right thumb sprain. He figures to serve as depth behind Mark Williams and Oso Ighodaro. Maluach will likely only play minutes in the single digits, which won't be enough to warrant streaming on Tuesday.

Harrison Barnes Out Against 76ers
San Antonio Spurs forward Harrison Barnes (ankle) was added late to the injury report and won't play against the Philadelphia 76ers on Tuesday due to soreness in his left ankle. Tonight's contest will be the first the 33-year-old has missed all season. His next opportunity to return will come on Thursday against the Detroit Pistons. Barnes is averaging 10.2 points and 2.9 rebounds across 26.9 minutes per contest in 60 appearances this campaign. With Barnes sidelined, Julian Champagnie and Keldon Johnson are expected to absorb additional minutes and could see increased offensive involvement against Philadelphia.

Andrew Wiggins Good to Go Against Nets
Miami Heat forward Andrew Wiggins (knee) will be active against the Brooklyn Nets on Tuesday. The team has upgraded him from probable to available after Wiggins was added late to the injury report due to a knee issue. Wiggins has recently played his best basketball of the season, averaging 18.2 points, 6.0 rebounds, 2.7 assists, and 1.4 blocks in February. He netted over 48 percent of his triples last month and could do further damage on Tuesday against a team that allows opponents to shoot a league-high 38.1 percent from downtown.

Anthony Edwards is Downgraded to Questionable
Minnesota Timberwolves guard Anthony Edwards (foot) is a late addition to the injury report ahead of Tuesday's game against the Memphis Grizzlies. Edwards is currently considered questionable due to a right foot issue. The superstar guard has played in 14 straight games, so the Wolves might play it safe and give Edwards the night off to rest. During that stretch, Edwards is averaging 28.9 points, 5.1 rebounds, and 3.9 assists in 37.0 minutes per game. If Edwards does sit out, Bones Hyland and Ayo Dosunmu would likely be asked to pick up the slack. Both players could be possible streaming options if Edwards is unable to play. Fantasy managers should check back ahead of tip-off for another update on Edwards.

Davion Mitchell is Ready for Tuesday's Game
Miami Heat guard Davion Mitchell (shoulder) is available to play ahead of Tuesday's game against the Brooklyn Nets. Mitchell was added to the injury report ahead of Tuesday's contest due to a bruised left shoulder. It doesn't appear to be significant enough to force him to miss any time. Over the last 10 games, Mitchell is averaging 8.4 points, 2.6 rebounds, and 5.7 assists. He's usually consistent enough to be worth rostering in deep leagues at the minimum. Fantasy managers can feel safe getting Mitchell active in their lineups ahead of tip-off.
