Jalen Green Out Against Thunder
Phoenix Suns guard Jalen Green (hamstring) won't play in the second leg of a back-to-back on Wednesday against the Oklahoma City Thunder. He will exit the lineup after a 12-point, four-assist effort across 20 minutes in Tuesday's win over Dallas. Devin Booker (ankle) also won't be in action against the defending champions, making Collin Gillespie and Jordan Goodwin more appealing fantasy options. With the number of backcourt absences, we are also likely to see Jamaree Bouyea in the rotation on Wednesday.

Devin Booker Skips Wednesday's Matchup
Phoenix Suns guard Devin Booker (ankle) will miss Wednesday's meeting with the Oklahoma City Thunder. The team has ruled him out for the game after initially listing him as questionable. Booker played 32 minutes in Tuesday's win over Dallas and will rest his right ankle on Wednesday night. Jalen Green (hamstring) will also depart the lineup, which should result in additional minutes for Collin Gillespie and Jordan Goodwin. Booker's absence also opens up additional scoring opportunities for his teammates.

Andrew Wiggins Sits Out Wednesday's Game
Miami Heat forward Andrew Wiggins (toe) won't suit up on Wednesday against the New Orleans Pelicans, Anthony Chiang of the Miami Herald reports. The team initially listed Wiggins as questionable for the contest due to toe inflammation. Wiggins joins Tyler Herro (ribs), Pelle Larsson (forearm), and Norman Powell (back) on the sidelines. This will give Jaime Jaquez Jr., Simone Fontecchio, Nikola Jovic, Kasparas Jakucionis, and Dru Smith more opportunities to showcase their talent. Jaquez Jr. has the most fantasy upside, but he has struggled recently, scoring just 13 points across the last two games.

Anthony Edwards Cleared to Play Wednesday
Minnesota Timberwolves guard Anthony Edwards (illness) has been upgraded from questionable to available for Wednesday's game against Portland. Edwards has been on a tear, averaging 31.4 points, 6.0 rebounds, 4.0 assists, 1.6 steals, and 2.8 three-pointers in 37.6 minutes over his last five games. He posted 30 points, six rebounds, and six assists in 38 minutes in his most recent outing. With a 32.2 percent usage rate, Edwards remains a locked-in fantasy anchor. His availability keeps secondary options like Ayo Dosunmu and Naz Reid in complementary roles.

Mitchell Robinson Available Wednesday
New York Knicks center Mitchell Robinson (ankle) will be in action on Wednesday against the Philadelphia 76ers. The big man was rested for the first leg of a back-to-back on Tuesday versus Indiana, but is ready to provide cover to Karl-Anthony Towns at the No. 5 spot against Philadelphia. Robinson has posted 4.8 points and 6.8 rebounds in 20.5 minutes per game this month. New York's bigs will contend with a Sixers frontcourt missing Joel Embiid (knee), which should make their job easier on Wednesday night.

OG Anunoby Day-To-Day Entering All-Star Break
New York Knicks forward OG Anunoby (toe) is day-to-day entering the All-Star break, according to coach Mike Brown, after missing four straight games with a right toe issue and sitting out Wednesday against Philadelphia. The veteran wing's designation suggests he could return Feb. 19 versus Detroit. In his absence, Landry Shamet has started the last two games, posting 17 points with four three-pointers in 38 minutes against Indiana but just three points in 28 minutes versus Boston. Shamet is a volatile streamer, while Josh Hart and Mikal Bridges continue to see stable workloads and usage.

Isaac Okoro Unavailable on Wednesday
Chicago Bulls forward Isaac Okoro (knee) won't play against the Boston Celtics on Wednesday. Okoro was added to the team's injury report due to a sore left knee. His next chance to get back in action is after the All-Star break on Feb. 19 against the Raptors. Patrick Williams and Leonard Miller could be in line to see extended minutes with Okoro out of action this evening.

Jarace Walker, Micah Potter Available Wednesday
Indiana Pacers forward Jarace Walker (illness) and forward/center Micah Potter (ankle) will be active against the Brooklyn Nets on Wednesday. Both players were listed as questionable on the initial injury report. Indiana will wrap up a back-to-back on Wednesday and won't have any of its big guns in the lineup, giving players like Walker and Potter an excellent opportunity to have larger roles. Potter looks set to make a second consecutive start, while Walker may join him in the first unit. Overall, the Pacers will have only nine players available for this game.

Dorian Finney-Smith is Unavailable on Wednesday
Houston Rockets forward Dorian Finney-Smith (ankle) is ruled out ahead of Wednesday's game against the Los Angeles Clippers. As expected, Finney-Smith will sit out the second game of the back-to-back set. The Rockets have been cautious with Finney-Smith while he deals with a lingering ankle issue. His absence could mean an increased role for Josh Okogie, with Tari Eason (ankle) considered questionable for this game. Okogie could offer some low-end streaming appeal if Eason is unable to play.

Alexandre Sarr to Sit Versus Cleveland
Washington Wizards center Alexandre Sarr (hamstring) has been ruled out for Wednesday's game against Cleveland due to right hamstring tightness. The second-year big is averaging 28.2 minutes with a 24.3 percent usage rate and has delivered steady production when available, chipping in scoring, rebounding, and defensive numbers in a clear starter's role. With Tristan Vukcevic (illness) also sidelined, Anthony Gill could absorb frontcourt minutes, though he has scored nine points or fewer in four of his last five appearances and remains a fringe deep-league option. Sarr carries clear upside, but a late-season shutdown risk exists if Washington leans fully into development.

Noah Clowney Ruled Out Wednesday
Brooklyn Nets forward/center Noah Clowney (ankle) will miss Wednesday's game against the Indiana Pacers. The team initially listed Clowney as probable, upgraded him to available, and then unexpectedly ruled him out before tip-off. With Nicolas Claxton (hip) and Michael Porter Jr. (knee) also unavailable, the Nets will be without three regular starters. The Pacers are also sending out a weakened team, so it's difficult to project how the rotation will work out for Brooklyn. Jalen Wilson and Ziaire Williams should be in line for additional minutes due to Clowney's absence.

Jalen Smith Ruled Out Wednesday
Chicago Bulls forward/center Jalen Smith (calf) won't play against Boston on Wednesday. Smith will miss his third consecutive contest due to a calf injury. Before his absence, he averaged 13.2 points and 8.4 rebounds in 25.9 minutes per game over his last 11 outings (eight starts). Once he returns, the 25-year-old could see an expanded role, particularly with Nikola Vucevic no longer in the picture. Without Smith, Guershon Yabusele, Matas Buzelis, Nick Richards, and Patrick Williams will continue to anchor the frontcourt.

Jakob Poeltl is Returning on Wednesday
Toronto Raptors center Jakob Poeltl (back) is available ahead of Wednesday's game against the Detroit Pistons. Poeltl will get back on the court for the first time since December 21. Poeltl has been out multiple weeks due to a lower back strain, but will return to the mix during the final game before the All-Star break. The Raptors are expected to have Poeltl on a minutes limit during his first game back on the court. His return should mean reduced roles for Sandro Mamukelashvili and Trayce Jackson-Davis in the rotation. Poeltl won't be an ideal DFS option given his expected minutes limit, but fantasy managers in season-long formats can get him active.

Nicolas Claxton Misses Wednesday's Action
Brooklyn Nets center Nicolas Claxton (hip) has been ruled out for Wednesday's matchup with the Indiana Pacers. Due to a sore right hip, he will be unavailable for only the third time this season. Claxton missed a pair of games in early January, and Day'Ron Sharpe stepped in for him as the starting center. Sharpe will likely return to the first unit on Wednesday, having averaged 12.0 points, 7.3 rebounds, 4.0 assists, and 2.3 steals in his previous starts this season.

Dominick Barlow Set to Return Wednesday
Philadelphia 76ers forward Dominick Barlow (illness) will be active against the New York Knicks on Wednesday. He is back in the mix after missing one game due to illness. Barlow will likely reclaim his starting spot from Trendon Watford. Despite being a starter for most of the campaign, Barlow hasn't provided much help to fantasy squads. He has averaged 8.9 points and 5.2 rebounds in a starting role.
