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.

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.

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.

Memphis Grizzlies guard/forward
Cedric Coward (knee) is listed as doubtful for Wednesday's game against the Denver Nuggets. He hurt his right knee in Monday's loss to Golden State, and the injury will likely keep Coward sidelined for at least one game. Coward has enjoyed a strong rookie campaign as a regular starter in Memphis, averaging 13.3 points, 6.2 rebounds, and 2.9 assists.
Scotty Pippen Jr. and
Taylor Hendricks are set to have more fantasy appeal with Coward on the shelf. The former replaced the 22-year-old in the starting lineup for the second half on Monday.

Golden State Warriors guard
De'Anthony Melton (glute) has been tagged as questionable on the injury report ahead of Wednesday's clash against the San Antonio Spurs. He is nursing a glute contusion and may come out of the lineup after appearing in five consecutive games. Melton has been a starter for each of the last three contests. If Melton is a no-go on Wednesday night, we may see
Brandin Podziemski return to the first unit. He has also been a big part of the rotation off the bench, but a starting role would make Podziemski an even more appealing fantasy option.

Miami Heat forward
Andrew Wiggins (toe) is listed as questionable for Wednesday's fantastic fantasy matchup against the New Orleans Pelicans. The veteran is dealing with a toe issue and may join
Tyler Herro (back),
Norman Powell (back), and
Pelle Larsson (elbow) on the sidelines. With so many regulars out injured,
Jaime Jaquez Jr.,
Simone Fontecchio,
Kasparas Jakucionis, and
Dru Smith are getting extra run-outs in the rotation. Jakucionis has performed the best of the group in recent games, scoring 20-plus points in back-to-back outings.

February 10, 2026
Miami Heat guard/forward
Pelle Larsson (elbow) will miss Wednesday's action against the New Orleans Pelicans. An elbow injury will keep Larsson sidelined for a third consecutive game. Miami is currently carrying several injuries, increasing the importance of
Jaime Jaquez Jr.,
Simone Fontecchio, and
Kasparas Jakucionis in the rotation. All three could make noise in Wednesday's favorable matchup against a struggling team that has the fourth-lowest defensive rating in the Association.

February 10, 2026
Miami Heat guard
Tyler Herro (ribs) won't play on Wednesday against the New Orleans Pelicans. He has been ruled out for a 15th straight game due to a right costochondral injury to the ribs. Heat head coach Erik Spoelstra noted on Monday that Herro is "making progress." However, it remains unclear when he can suit up again. Miami also won't have
Norman Powell (back) and
Pelle Larsson (forearm) on Wednesday, while
Andrew Wiggins (toe) is listed as questionable. In this situation, the team must lean more on
Jaime Jaquez Jr.,
Kasparas Jakucionis, and
Dru Smith.

Chicago Bulls point guard
Tre Jones (hamstring) is considered doubtful to play on Wednesday against the Boston Celtics. This suggests he will be out for an 11th consecutive game.
Josh Giddey (hamstring) also remains doubtful on the injury report, meaning
Anfernee Simons and
Jaden Ivey will likely continue to start in the backcourt. There will also be a healthy amount of minutes available off the bench for
Collin Sexton and
Rob Dillingham. Simons (23 points) and Sexton (21 points) finished as Chicago's leading scorers in Monday's 123-115 loss to Brooklyn.

Sacramento Kings guard
Malik Monk (illness) will remain out on Wednesday against the Utah Jazz, missing a third straight game. He has been bothered by an illness lately, exiting the lineup after having his strongest stretch of the season.
Russell Westbrook (ankle),
Zach LaVine (finger),
De'Andre Hunter (eye),
Keegan Murray (ankle), and
Domantas Sabonis (knee) are also on Sacramento's long list of injuries, opening up additional playing time for
Devin Carter,
Nique Clifford,
Daeqwon Plowden,
Maxime Raynaud, and
Dylan Cardwell. The Kings' players will be very attractive fantasy options on Wednesday, as Utah has the league's worst defensive rating.

February 10, 2026
Sacramento Kings guard/forward
Zach LaVine (finger) will be held out for a third consecutive game on Wednesday versus the Utah Jazz. Health issues have plagued LaVine all season, and he is currently nursing a finger injury. With
Russell Westbrook (ankle) and
Malik Monk (illness) also missing from the backcourt rotation,
Devin Carter,
Nique Clifford, and
Daeqwon Plowden have larger roles. Carter is the safest fantasy option among the three players, though Clifford demonstrated his ability to get hot with a career-high 30 points against Cleveland on Saturday.

February 10, 2026
Sacramento Kings forward/center
Domantas Sabonis (knee) will sit out a fourth consecutive game on Wednesday against the Utah Jazz. The second-generation NBA player has been listed as out for left knee injury management. He has also recently dealt with a back problem. Sabonis' absence means
Maxime Raynaud and
Dylan Cardwell will continue to share minutes at center. Both rookies have played well recently, though Raynaud holds a slight edge on Cardwell from a fantasy perspective, as he has been Sabonis' direct replacement in the starting lineup. The French big man was one rebound short of a 20-20 game on Monday versus New Orleans.
--Taavi PailkSource: NBA Injury Report
February 10, 2026
Sacramento Kings point guard
Russell Westbrook (ankle) has been ruled out for Wednesday's game against the Utah Jazz. The veteran star recently missed three games with a sore foot and is now dealing with a left ankle issue. With Westbrook on the shelf, fantasy managers should give
Devin Carter a look, especially with four other regulars missing Wednesday's game. Carter has averaged 13.5 points, 4.3 rebounds, and 4.3 assists across the last four games. On Wednesday, he will face a team that has allowed the most fantasy points to point guards this season.
--Taavi PailkSource: NBA Injury Report
February 10, 2026
Utah Jazz forward
Lauri Markkanen (rest) is set to play on Wednesday against the Sacramento Kings. He was initially listed as out for rest as Utah begins a back-to-back. With Markkanen in the lineup on Wednesday, he likely won't play in Thursday's matchup with the Portland Trail Blazers. Given recent developments, fantasy managers shouldn't expect full value from Markkanen on Wednesday, as the tanking Jazz have begun resting him during games, keeping him off the floor in the fourth quarter.
