Sacramento Kings forward/center
Domantas Sabonis (rest) won't play against the Toronto Raptors on Wednesday. Tonight's contest is the second half of a back-to-back, so the 29-year-old big man will sit out for injury maintenance. Sabonis finished with six points, 10 rebounds, and three assists in 17 minutes during Tuesday's 130-117 loss to the Heat. With Sabonis out and
Precious Achiuwa (ankle) considered questionable,
Maxime Raynaud could be in line for extra minutes. The 22-year-old rookie has become a marginal fantasy asset as he's posted averages of 9.9 points and 6.8 rebounds in his last eight outings.

Oklahoma City Thunder center
Isaiah Hartenstein (calf) will miss his 13th consecutive game on Wednesday against the Milwaukee Bucks. He has yet to play in 2026 due to a right soleus strain. Oklahoma City's frontcourt may also be without
Jaylin Williams (glute), who is considered questionable for Wednesday night.
Kenrich Williams and
Branden Carlson are looking at an opportunity to make larger contributions off the bench, but they aren't good fantasy options. Hartenstein's next chance to return will be on Friday against the Indiana Pacers. Given the lack of updates from the team, it wouldn't be surprising if Hartenstein remains out for the week.

Milwaukee Bucks center
Myles Turner (ankle) is considered questionable for Wednesday's matchup against the Oklahoma City Thunder. He is on the injury report with a left ankle sprain. Turner recently missed his first game of the season due to illness. It has been a frustrating year for Turner, who has been limited to 10.3 points, 4.7 rebounds, and 0.7 blocks in January. Should Turner sit out on Wednesday night,
Bobby Portis would be poised to take his place in the starting lineup, while
Pete Nance and
Jericho Sims could see extra minutes off the bench.

Milwaukee Bucks guard
Kevin Porter Jr. (oblique) is questionable for Wednesday's tilt against the Oklahoma City Thunder. He may miss a meeting with the defending champions due to an oblique strain. Porter Jr. has had a productive year in Milwaukee, but he was dropped to the bench on Monday against the Atlanta Hawks after he had produced a zero-point outing in the previous game.
Kyle Kuzma jumped to the first unit and had 10 points with two assists. If Porter Jr. can't play against the Thunder,
Ryan Rollins' workload will likely increase, and
Cole Anthony may get back into the rotation.

Brooklyn Nets guard/forward
Cam Thomas (hamstring) will return to the lineup on Wednesday night against the New York Knicks. He sat out the second leg of a back-to-back on Monday versus the Phoenix Suns. Since returning from a hamstring injury in late December, Thomas has struggled for consistency. He is averaging 12.1 points, 2.3 rebounds, and 3.6 assists across 23.4 minutes in January. The 24-year-old has finished three of his last four appearances with single-digit points. Still, Thomas impressed with 10 assists in Sunday's loss to the Chicago Bulls and can cook up a big line in a hurry if he gets hot.

Boston Celtics guard/forward
Jaylen Brown (hamstring) is listed as probable for Wednesday's game against the Indiana Pacers. The 2024 Finals MVP is expected to play despite experiencing tightness in his left hamstring. Brown recently missed one game due to a back issue. Since returning, he has averaged 33.3 points and 8.0 rebounds over three outings. Against Indiana, Brown has put up 30.5 points per game across two prior meetings in 2025-26, shooting an impressive 53.3 percent from the field.

Houston Rockets center
Steven Adams (ankle) has been ruled out indefinitely with a Grade 3 left ankle sprain. He was injured in Sunday's win over the New Orleans Pelicans.
Josh Okogie started in Adams' place on Tuesday night against the San Antonio Spurs. He had a quiet outing with five points, one rebound, and one steal. Houston also brought
Clint Capela back into the rotation, and the Swiss big man finished with six points and two rebounds in 12 minutes. With Adams on the shelf,
Jabari Smith Jr. could also see time at the center position.

Los Angeles Lakers center
Deandre Ayton (eye) made an early exit against the Denver Nuggets on Tuesday, Jovan Buha of The Athletic reports. The big man was poked in the eye late in the second quarter and sat out the rest of the game. Ayton finished with four points and eight rebounds in 15 minutes.
Jaxson Hayes and
Drew Timme filled the gap at center in the second half. "He got poked in the eye," Lakers head coach JJ Redick said postgame. "He looks like a pirate. His eye is not in good shape, but we're hopeful that it's just the bare minimum -- just a poke in the eye -- and he'll be back tomorrow." The Lakers return to action on Thursday night against the Clippers. Although Redick seemed optimistic about Ayton's availability for the Clippers game, it wouldn't be a shock if he appeared on the injury report.

Miami Heat center
Kel'el Ware (hamstring) won't play on Tuesday versus Sacramento. He carried a questionable tag throughout the day. However, the 21-year-old will miss his first contest of the 2025 campaign because of hamstring tightness. Ware hasn't seen much action of late, averaging 20 minutes in January. Still, his absence should allow
Nikola Jovic to see more action in a favorable matchup with the Kings.

Amanda Pflugrad of 3TV Phoenix reports that Phoenix Suns center
Mark Williams (injury management) will suit up Tuesday against the Philadelphia 76ers. Williams drops his questionable tag for the second set of a back-to-back after posting 16 points, eight rebounds, three blocks, and two steals over 29 minutes on Monday against the Nets. The 24-year-old big man could make his mark in fantasy as the Sixers will be without their star center,
Joel Embiid (injury management), during tonight's clash.

Utah Jazz forward
Brice Sensabaugh (illness) is unavailable for Tuesday's matchup with the Minnesota Timberwolves. Sensabaugh is under the weather and will miss his second straight game. Before his illness, the 22-year-old was coming off an impressive outing, finishing with 25 points, six rebounds and two assists across 30 minutes in a loss to Dallas on Saturday. While Senabaugh is out of action during tonight's game, Walter Clayton should continue to see an expanded role in the Jazz rotation.

January 20, 2026
Golden State Warriors guard
De'Anthony Melton (knee) will play Tuesday against Toronto after sitting out the front end of the team's back-to-back set on Monday against Miami. The 27-year-old fantasy value will be trending upward as he is expected to have an expanded role for the foreseeable future with Jimmy Butler (knee) done for the season. Through eight games in January, Melton is averaging 15.1 points, 3.4 rebounds, 1.6 assists, and 1.0 steals in 22.4 minutes per outing.

January 20, 2026
Golden State Warriors forward/center
Draymond Green (ankle) is listed as questionable against the Toronto Raptors on Tuesday. Green is dealing with a right ankle sprain and missed Monday's matchup with the Heat. However, head coach Steve Kerr said that Green was likely to play on Tuesday. The Warriors frontcourt will already be shorthanded going into the contest with
Al Horford (toe) out of action. Fantasy managers should expect Green to be good to go if able to get through warmups without any setbacks.
Quinten Post and
Trayce Jackson-Davis are candidates to see extended playing time with Horford out, and if Green is unable to play through the ankle pain.
--Andrew LennoxSource: NBA Injury Report
January 20, 2026
Golden State Warriors center
Al Horford (toe) is back on the injury report and won't play on Tuesday night against the Toronto Raptors. The 39-year-old has seen action in the last eight games, but he will be held out of the team's second set of a back-to-back due to management of a toe injury. With Horford sidelined and
Draymond Green (ankle) listed as questionable, the Warriors could have a depleted frontcourt, so Quentin Post and
Trayce Jackson-Davis will have to fill in the gaps during this evening's tilt.

January 20, 2026
Utah Jazz forward
Lauri Markkanen (illness) has been ruled out for Tuesday's matchup with the Minnesota Timberwolves, marking his fifth straight absence due to an illness. His next chance to return comes on Thursday against the Spurs. With
Brice Sensabaugh (illness) also sidelined for tonight's clash, 19-year-old rookie
Ace Bailey will take on more minutes and will be expected produce offensively with extra scoring opportunities. Walter Clayton could see plenty of usage as well, having logged 32 minutes during Monday's loss to the Spurs.
