1 week agoHouston Rockets forward
Dillon Brooks (illness) is listed as questionable for Wednesday night's matchup with the San Antonio Spurs. Brooks is dealing with an illness. If forced to miss tonight's game it would be the first game he's missed all season. The 28-year-old is averaging 11.4 PPG and 4.0 RPG this season. His moderate offensive production won't be what's missed most, though, as Brooks' defensive presence will be the glaring issue for Houston if absent. Houston holds a 104.5 defensive rating with Brooks on the court and a 124.9 defensive rating with him off. If Brooks is unable to suit up, expect
Amen Thompson to be inserted into the starting lineup with fellow forward
Tari Eason also listed as questionable for tonight. Thompson is averaging 10.0 PPG and 5.9 RPG while the Rockets hold a 110.4 defensive rating with him on the floor, making him a suitable defensive replacement for Brooks.

1 week agoMemphis Grizzlies guard
John Konchar (quad) is listed as doubtful for Wednesday night's matchup against the Los Angeles Lakers. This will be Konchar's fourth straight game missed thanks to a right quad contusion he's been dealing with. The 28-year-old also missed two other games this season with a heel injury and has only been able to play in three games this season. He's averaged just five points per game this season while taking just six shots total in the three games he's played in. Fantasy managers with Konchar on their roster likely can cut bait until he gets on a hot streak given his lack of playing time so far. Those looking for an option off Memphis' bench should look to
Scotty Pippen Jr. as the leader for the second unit.
Jake LaRavia may be a sneaky second option also, averaging 7.4 PPG and 5.9 RPG.

1 week agoNew Orleans Pelicans guard
Jordan Hawkins (back) is listed as questionable for Wednesday night's matchup against the Cleveland Cavaliers. Hawkins is dealing with lower-back tightness, an issue that kept him out of Monday night's loss against the Portland Trailblazers. The 22-year-old had found his way into the starting lineup thanks to an injury to
CJ McCollum before Monday night's absence. Hawkins has averaged 17.6 points this season while shooting 37.5% from three and will be depended on against a tough Cavaliers team if healthy. If Hawkins is to miss Wednesday's game, then expect
Brandon Boston Jr. to get the start. Boston has averaged 9.8 points this season but put up 20 in his start against Portland on Monday night. Both should be considered viable options for all fantasy formats on Wednesday, while Boston would make a sneaky DFS play if Hawkins cannot suit up.

1 week agoCleveland Cavaliers forward
Dean Wade (illness) will miss his second consecutive game on Wednesday night when the Cavaliers face off against the New Orleans Pelicans. Wade missed Monday night's win against the Milwaukee Bucks on Monday dealing with the same illness. Wade's averaged 6.9 PPG and 4.4 RPG this season. Wade's absence shouldn't scare Cleveland much given his minimal production and a matchup against a weakened New Orleans Pelicans team. Expect
Isaac Okoro to start in his place as was the case on Monday night. Okoro is averaging 5.0 PPG this season. Though shooting 46.7% from three is appealing, his minimal volume in Cleveland's offense means there are better options available to fantasy managers on the waiver wire.

1 week agoCharlotte Hornets forward
Cody Martin (illness) is listed as probable for Wednesday night's matchup against the Detroit Pistons. Martin had been dealing with a minor illness but hasn't missed any time. Expect the 29-year-old to continue coming off the bench for Charlotte. Martin's averaging 10.0 PPG this season while shooting 37% from three. While the three-point shooting percentage seems encouraging, fantasy managers shouldn't expect consistent production going forward as he's failed to play more than 20 minutes in each of the Hornets' last two games. Better options are likely available on the waiver wire that fantasy managers should prioritize until Martin either catches a hot streak or finds his way back into the starting lineup.

1 week agoAtlanta Hawks forward
De'Andre Hunter (knee) could be back in action against the Knicks on Wednesday. He has been listed as questionable for the game. Hunter has been absent for the last six contests, which has given
Zaccharie Risacher an opportunity to roll with the starters. The top pick of this year's draft has struggled for consistency and was largely ineffective coming off the bench at the start of the season. Hunter, on the other hand, was in fine form before getting hurt, averaging 18.0 points and 6.5 rebounds with 40 percent shooting from deep.

1 week agoNew York Knicks guard
Cameron Payne (hamstring) is considered questionable for Wednesday's game against Atlanta. Payne missed his first game of the season on Monday versus Houston due to a hamstring strain. The veteran has averaged 15.4 minutes as a backup in New York, posting 5.6 points and 3.2 assists.
Tyler Kolek gets more of a look in the rotation without Payne, but he doesn't provide anything for fantasy managers.
Miles McBride also has a chance to play more. However, he was a massive disappointment against the Rockets, with a 0-for-9 effort from the field and zero points across 26 minutes.

1 week agoGolden State Warriors shooting guard
Brandin Podziemski (illness) will be available for Wednesday's fascinating matchup against Boston. The 21-year-old couldn't complete Monday's meeting with Washington due to an illness but has recovered. Podziemski has been battling shooting woes at the start of the campaign, hitting less than 38 percent of his shots. He's nailed only 18.2 percent of his three-point attempts, averaging 9.3 points with 5.3 rebounds and 4.0 assists.
Stephen Curry's return on Monday sent Podziemski back to the bench, where he has been inconsistent with his performances.

1 week agoGolden State Warriors guard
De'Anthony Melton (back) will miss a fifth consecutive game on Wednesday versus Boston. He's battling a lower back problem, leaving the Warriors without a versatile backcourt option.
Moses Moody,
Buddy Hield, and
Brandin Podziemski (illness) are all in a position to benefit. Hield, who has scored 20-plus points in four consecutive games, deserves the most attention from fantasy managers. Melton's next chance to return comes on Friday versus Cleveland.
--Taavi Pailk - RotoBallerSource: NBA Injury Report
1 week agoIndiana Pacers guard
Andrew Nembhard (knee) is on the injury report as questionable ahead of Wednesday's contest against Orlando. Nembhard missed one game last week due to a knee issue and continues to nurse soreness in his left knee.
Ben Sheppard and
T.J. McConnell would see more minutes if Nembhard is unavailable. The latter is definitely the better fantasy option, although Sheppard has also looked good early in the campaign and put up 20 points against New Orleans when Nembhard was out last Friday.

1 week agoPhoenix Suns guard
Bradley Beal (elbow) will likely remain in the lineup on Wednesday versus Miami. The veteran has picked up a right elbow injury early in the season, but he's considered probable for Wednesday's game. Beal has provided solid production thus far with 17.2 points, 3.8 rebounds, 4.2 assists, and 1.6 steals. However, he's going to be in a bad spot Wednesday night, as the Heat play with the third-lowest pace in the league. Rookie
Ryan Dunn would be in line for an extended role if Beal suffers a setback during the day and can't play.
--Taavi Pailk - RotoBallerSource: NBA Injury Report
1 week agoLos Angeles Lakers guard
D'Angelo Russell (foot) is probable heading into Wednesday's game against the Grizzlies. The veteran has appeared on the injury report of late for various reasons. However, he hasn't missed a game so far during the 2024–25 campaign. Unfortunately, Russell has struggled this season, averaging 12.0 points and 30.8% shooting from behind the arc. While he has an excellent chance of breaking out of his funk, fantasy managers should consider keeping him on the bench, especially category managers who have been negatively impacted by his three-point percentage.
--Dennis Clausen - RotoBallerSource: NBA Injury Report
1 week agoLos Angeles Lakers guard
Austin Reaves (ankle) is anticipated to play on Wednesday versus the Grizzlies. The ankle injury isn't anything new, so fantasy managers should expect to see him on the floor. The 26-year-old has played well this season, averaging 17.3 points, 5.0 rebounds, 4.9 assists, and 1.4 steals. Of course, assuming Reaves is available, he's a viable fantasy option in any format. But his potential could increase if
Anthony Davis (foot) isn't available.
