9 hours agoUtah Jazz forward Lauri Markkanen (back) is questionable to play Wednesday against the Portland Trail Blazers. Markkanen missed Monday's game after dealing with soreness in his back, but was able to go through a full practice on Tuesday. Markkanen seems to be trending in the right direction and the injury is not deemed serious. If Markkanen is able to play Wednesday, Simone Fontecchio would likely head back to the bench.--Dale JohnsonSource: NBA Injury Report

9 hours agoPhiladelphia 76ers guard James Harden (Achilles) is listed as questionable ahead of Wednesday game against the Chicago Bulls. Harden was recently held out of a back-to-back game with left foot soreness and is now being listed with Achilles soreness in the same foot. The Sixers have been cruising to a high seed in the Eastern Conference and will likely be resting Harden down the stretch regardless. When Harden last sat out, De'Anthony Melton started and recorded six steals in 34 minutes. If Harden sits again, Melton should get another start while Tyrese Maxey should see a big bump in usage.--Dale JohnsonSource: NBA Injury Report

9 hours agoMinnesota Timberwolves guard/forward Anthony Edwards (ankle) is questionable to play Wednesday versus the Houston Rockets. Edwards has missed the past two games with an ankle sprain, but there is optimism he could return on Wednesday. If Edwards is cleared, Taurean Prince should move back to the bench. Prince had himself a game on Monday, shooting a perfect 8-for-8 from three on his way to 35 points in 32 minutes.--Dale JohnsonSource: Timberwolves PR

9 hours agoMinnesota Timberwolves forward/center Karl-Anthony Towns (calf) is listed as questionable to play Wednesday against the Atlanta Hawks. Towns has not played since November 28th, but there is optimism he may finally return on Wednesday. With the team in the heat of the playoff race, Minnesota would gladly welcome back their star big man. There should be more information regarding his status closer to tip-off after Towns goes through pregame workouts. Kyle Anderson will likely take a hit once Towns has returned.--Dale JohnsonSource: NBA Injury Report

9 hours agoMemphis Grizzlies guard Ja Morant (personal) is set to play Wednesday against the Houston Rockets. However, it is not out of the question Morant ends up in the second unit in his return. Morant was suspended for eight games due to detrimental conduct to the league and has let the Grizzlies staff know he is willing to have a reduced role in his return. Head coach Taylor Jenkins hinted this is something they are considering. If true, Tyus Jones should continue to start and hold fantasy value even with Morant back.--Dale JohnsonSource: Tim MacMahon

9 hours agoBoston Celtics center Robert Williams III (hamstring) will come off the bench in his return Tuesday against the Sacramento Kings. Williams is returning from an eight game absence, but will not be returning to the starting lineup right away. It remains yet to be seen if this is a permanent change or if Williams will have a reserve role until he is fully back to game shape.--Dale JohnsonSource: Jay King

11 hours agoCleveland Cavaliers center Jarrett Allen (eye) will play Tuesday against the Brooklyn Nets. Allen has missed the passed week after taking a hit to his eye, but after going through a full practice, he has recovered. Lamar Stevens should move back to the bench and lose most of his short-term fantasy value. Evan Mobley may also take a small hit in terms of rebounding.--Dale JohnsonSource: Chris Fedor

13 hours agoIndiana Pacers guard Tyrese Haliburton (ankle) has officially been listed as questionable against the Toronto Raptors on Wednesday. He's missed the last five consecutive games and Wednesday was originally the day that he could possibly return from this ankle issue. Fantasy managers might have to wait a little longer to get a clearer picture of whether or not his chances of playing are on the higher side. If he can't play, T.J. McConnell and Andrew Nembhard will continue to see the bulk of the minutes at point guard.--Alex Fischbein - RotoBallerSource: NBA Injury Report

13 hours agoUtah Jazz forward Lauri Markkanen (back) was forced to miss the team's last game on Monday due to back soreness. The good news is that he fully participated in practice on Tuesday and seems to be trending in the right direction. With that being said, Monday could have also just been a rest day. If he comes back on Wednesday, Simone Fontecchio would be the one to move back to the bench and probably see a lot fewer minutes.--Alex Fischbein - RotoBallerSource: Eric Walden

13 hours agoDallas Mavericks guard Luka Doncic (thigh) has been tagged as questionable again ahead of Wednesday's contest against Golden State. The 24-year-old was eventually downgraded to out on Monday while dealing with the same injury. Fantasy managers will want to keep a close eye on any updates since he's missed the last five consecutive games. If he still can't get back on the court, Josh Green and Reggie Bullock will see increased minutes in the starting five.--Alex Fischbein - RotoBallerSource: Mavs PR

13 hours agoDallas Mavericks guard Kyrie Irving (foot) is listed as questionable for another game on Wednesday against the Golden State Warriors. He has played the last couple of games while holding a questionable status heading into both of those as well. A good sign is that he played 38 and 33 minutes in those two games respectively. Fantasy managers will want to just keep their eye on Jaden Hardy and Tim Hardaway Jr. in case Irving can't give it a go.--Alex Fischbein - RotoBallerSource: Mavs PR

13 hours agoMemphis Grizzlies guard Ja Morant (conditioning) said that his status is still "up in the air" for Wednesday's game against Houston. Head coach Taylor Jenkins did say that he anticipates Morant to play though. Fantasy managers will want to check back for official updates to the injury report when the Grizzlies submit their official list. Signs are pointing to Morant playing right now, but if he remains sidelined for one more game then Tyus Jones would still be the biggest beneficiary.--Alex Fischbein - RotoBallerSource: Chris Herrington

13 hours agoMiami Heat forward Caleb Martin (knee) has been added to the team's injury report due to left knee soreness. The 27-year-old was able to play 30 minutes in their last game against the Detroit Pistons, so this sounds like it could be a precautionary injury status. Just in case he can't play, some sort of a combo between Haywood Highsmith, Nikola Jovic, and Victor Oladipo would take those minutes. Picking a streaming option out of those three would be a shot in the dark.--Alex Fischbein - RotoBallerSource: Anthony Chiang

13 hours agoMiami Heat guard Kyle Lowry (knee) has been tagged as questionable with knee soreness for the team's contest on Wednesday against the New York Knicks. He's been questionable in 61 out of the team's 73 games this season and he's played in 46% of them. So, in terms of probability, Lowry might not play in this one, but he did end up being available in their last game. If he can't suit up, Max Strus and Victor Oladipo would be the ones to step up and take over those minutes off of the bench.--Alex Fischbein - RotoBallerSource: Anthony Chiang

14 hours agoAtlanta Hawks guard Dejounte Murray (illness) went from questionable to out on Tuesday due to a non-COVID illness. The Hawks, who need every win they can get down the stretch, will now be without their second-leading scorer against the Detroit Pistons. Bogdan Bogdanovic will likely move into the starting five and take on a bigger role while Aaron Holiday could see some more minutes coming off of the bench. The better streaming options would be Bogdanovic and maybe Saddiq Bey if he's available.--Alex Fischbein - RotoBallerSource: NBA Injury Report
