Brooklyn Nets forward
Michael Porter Jr. (ankle) is questionable for Wednesday's game against the Thunder after missing three straight contests. If he remains out,
Danny Wolf could continue seeing expanded run after posting eight points, five rebounds, four assists, and two blocks in 24 minutes as a starter last game.
Ziaire Williams also played 20 minutes with seven points and two steals and could be a deep-league option for defensive stats. Porter's absence would keep extra usage available for Williams and Wolf, while
Jalen Wilson and
Josh Minott remain deeper rotation fliers if minutes open.

New Orleans Pelicans guard
Dejounte Murray (illness) is questionable for Wednesday's game against the Clippers after missing the previous contest. If he remains out, rookie guard
Jeremiah Fears could continue seeing meaningful minutes after posting 17 points, six rebounds, and five assists in 25 minutes off the bench last game. Fears could be worth a look in deeper leagues for assists and scoring if Murray misses another game.
Trey Murphy III and
Zion Williamson may also handle more playmaking duties. Murray should remain rostered in most formats, though managers should monitor his pregame status.

Houston Rockets center
Alperen Sengun (back) is off the injury report and expected to return Wednesday against the Lakers after missing two games. Sengun has averaged 17.0 points, 6.6 rebounds, and 3.8 assists in 28.9 minutes over his last five appearances and should immediately resume his starting role. His return pushes
Clint Capela back into a reserve role and limits his streaming appeal. Sengun remains a must-start option for points and assists from the center spot, while
Kevin Durant and
Amen Thompson may see slightly less playmaking responsibility.

San Antonio Spurs center
Luke Kornet (knee) is available for Tuesday's game against Sacramento after sitting out the previous contest. Kornet has averaged 5.2 points, 4.4 rebounds, and 1.6 assists in 19.0 minutes over his last five games, offering modest value in deeper formats for rebounds and occasional blocks. His return should bring some stability to the backup center minutes behind
Victor Wembanyama and may slightly cut into
Mason Plumlee's playing time. Kornet remains a low-upside option, though he can help as a deep-league filler when extra size stats are needed.

March 17, 2026
San Antonio Spurs guard
Dylan Harper (calf) is available for Tuesday's game against Sacramento after missing two games with a right calf contusion. The rookie should reclaim a steady bench role after posting 13 points, five rebounds, and five assists in 24 minutes in his last appearance. His return could trim minutes for
Carter Bryant and potentially push
Jordan McLaughlin out of the rotation. Harper offers deep-league appeal for assists and balanced production, though his fantasy ceiling remains modest behind De'Aaron Fox and
Stephon Castle in the guard rotation.

March 17, 2026
San Antonio Spurs forward
Harrison Barnes will enter the starting lineup Tuesday with
Devin Vassell (ankle) sidelined. Barnes has shown modest upside in previous starts, including a 19-point outing with five three-pointers in 35 minutes earlier this season, giving him some deep-league appeal for threes and points. His value remains matchup dependent, but the increased minutes help his streaming case.
Julian Champagnie and
Keldon Johnson could also see slightly larger roles, while Barnes remains a low-priority option outside deeper category formats.

March 17, 2026
Sacramento Kings guard
Malik Monk (ankle) will miss Tuesday's game against the Spurs, marking his fourth straight absence due to a right ankle sprain.
Daeqwon Plowden should continue seeing an extended run after logging 10 points, four rebounds, two assists, and two steals in 31 minutes last game, making him a viable deep-league streamer for steals and threes.
Russell Westbrook and
DeMar DeRozan should continue handling most of the backcourt usage, while
Nique Clifford could also maintain a stable role.
--Brian DailisanSource: NBA Injury Report
March 17, 2026
Los Angeles Clippers guard/forward
Bennedict Mathurin (toe) will miss the team's three-game road trip as he continues treatment, with a chance to return early next week. His absence should keep
John Collins and
Derrick Jones Jr. in steady roles. Collins finished with 11 points, nine rebounds, and four assists in 26 minutes last game and offers short-term value for rebounds and scoring. Jones chipped in 10 points with two threes and a block in 24 minutes and can help in threes and defensive stats. Mathurin is still worth holding if you have the bench space.

March 17, 2026
Detroit Pistons guard
Cade Cunningham (back) will not return to Tuesday's game against Washington after experiencing back spasms in the opening minutes, finishing with six points, two rebounds, and one steal in five minutes. His absence should open short-term opportunities for
Marcus Sasser and
Caris LeVert, with Sasser offering scoring and assists upside in deeper leagues.
Daniss Jenkins could also see extra run as a speculative deep-league option. Cunningham should be considered day-to-day, while
Jalen Duren and
Tobias Harris may also take on more offensive responsibility if he misses more time.

March 17, 2026
Milwaukee Bucks guard
Ryan Rollins (illness) is available for Tuesday's game against Cleveland after being a late addition to the injury report. With
Giannis Antetokounmpo (knee) sidelined, Rollins should continue seeing meaningful on-ball opportunities after producing 20 points, seven assists, three steals, and three three-pointers in 37 minutes last game.
Kevin Porter Jr.'s return could cap some of that upside, but Rollins still profiles as a viable assists and steals streamer.
Bobby Portis and
Kyle Kuzma should also remain involved offensively, while Rollins holds value in deeper formats while starting.

March 17, 2026
Milwaukee Bucks forward
Giannis Antetokounmpo (knee) is expected to miss multiple games after being diagnosed with a left knee hyperextension and bone bruise, with a re-evaluation set for next week.
Bobby Portis could see a major offensive bump after erupting for 29 points, 10 rebounds, three assists, and two steals in 27 minutes last game, making him a strong points and rebounds streamer.
Ryan Rollins also stepped up with 20 points and seven assists in 37 minutes and remains a viable assist target.
Kevin Porter Jr. and
Kyle Kuzma should continue seeing added usage while Antetokounmpo is sidelined.

March 17, 2026
Phoenix Suns guard/forward
Grayson Allen (knee) will not play Tuesday against the Timberwolves due to left knee soreness, with the team targeting a potential return Thursday. His absence should open rotation minutes for
Collin Gillespie,
Jordan Goodwin, and Royce O'Neale. Goodwin logged 24 minutes with six points, five rebounds, four assists, and two steals last game, making him a deep-league steals and assists streamer. Gillespie and O'Neale also remain low-end streaming options for managers needing threes or defensive stats. Allen is averaging 29.8 minutes with a 23.9 usage rate, though managers in the fantasy playoffs may need to prioritize available players if roster spots are tight.
--Brian DailisanSource: NBA Injury Report
March 17, 2026
Cleveland Cavaliers guard/forward
Jaylon Tyson (ankle) is available to play ahead of Tuesday's game against the Milwaukee Bucks. Tyson is back in the mix following a one-game absence due to left ankle soreness. He has been playing off the bench recently, and that'll likely remain the case with
Sam Merrill (hamstring) available on Tuesday. Over the last four games, Tyson is averaging 7.8 points, 2.8 rebounds, and 1.8 assists in 21. 0 minutes per game. He's not the most consistent player on the planet, but Tyson is at least worth rostering in deep leagues.

March 17, 2026
Milwaukee Bucks center
Myles Turner (calf) has been ruled out ahead of Tuesday's game against the Cleveland Cavaliers. Turner has been dealing with a lingering knee issue, but will actually sit this game out due to a calf injury. The Bucks are going to be thin with
Giannis Antetokounmpo (knee) also sidelined for this game.
Bobby Portis should play a significant role, with
Jericho Sims and
Pete Nance also seeing more action on the court. Portis is looking like a must-start, while Sims and Nance are viewed as deep league options.
--Andy WebbSource: NBA Injury Report
March 17, 2026
Indiana Pacers guard/forward
Aaron Nesmith (ankle) is available to play ahead of Tuesday's game against the New York Knicks. Nesmith was questionable for the front end of this back-to-back set, but will ultimately play. He finished with 32 points, including seven three-pointers in Sunday's game against the Milwaukee Bucks. He's unlikely to do that again, but Nesmith remains a viable and consistent enough fantasy option to trust right now. Fantasy managers can get him active in their lineups ahead of tip-off.
