2 weeks agoDenver Nuggets forward/center
Aaron Gordon (calf, ankle) will suit up for Wednesday's tilt against the Los Angeles Lakers. Ahead of tip-off, the team has upgraded Gordon's status from probable to available. He should be heavily involved in the contest, considering that
Nikola Jokic (elbow, ankle) and
Jamal Murray (ankle) will remain sidelined for a second consecutive game. When the star duo sat out Monday's game against the Golden State Warriors, Gordon exploded for a season-high 38 points on 14-for-23 shooting.

Jamal Murray (ankle) will not rejoin the action on Wednesday against the Los Angeles Lakers. The team listed Murray as questionable on the initial injury report, but sources have told NBA insider Chris Haynes that the Canadian star will not play in the contest.
Russell Westbrook is set to receive the keys to the backcourt again. He racked up 12 points, 12 rebounds, 16 assists, two blocks, and three steals in 42 minutes when Murray exited the lineup for Monday's matchup against the Golden State Warriors.

Nikola Jokic (elbow, ankle) will remain sidelined on Wednesday against the Los Angeles Lakers. NBA insider Chris Haynes has announced that Jokic will sit out the game alongside
Jamal Murray (ankle). This will be the second consecutive absence for both players. As a result,
Russell Westbrook,
Aaron Gordon, and
Michael Porter Jr. are expected to handle the majority of the offensive work. All three players will have additional fantasy value on Wednesday.

Stephen Curry (rest) is set to re-enter the lineup on Thursday against the Toronto Raptors. Golden State rested Curry on Tuesday against the Milwaukee Bucks. However, the veteran star has not been listed on the injury report for Thursday. Although Curry's shooting efficiency has been lacking in recent games, he can still be satisfied with his form. Over nine appearances in March, Curry has averaged 25.9 points, 4.1 rebounds, and 6.7 assists, with the team going 7-2 with him in the lineup.

Trey Jemison III (illness) will return to the lineup on Wednesday against the Denver Nuggets. He has recovered from an illness that forced him to sit out the past four games. With Jemison III back in the fold, the Lakers will have an additional frontcourt option on the bench. However, his availability holds no significance for fantasy basketball.
Jaxson Hayes has been performing well as the starting center for the Lakers, notching 12.2 points, 7.8 rebounds, and 1.2 blocks in 28.0 minutes per game this month.

Luka Doncic (ankle) will play in Wednesday's big Western Conference showdown against the Denver Nuggets. His status has been upgraded from probable to available. Doncic has a chance to register a fifth consecutive double-double on Wednesday. His average numbers for the month have been close to a triple-double, as the Slovenian superstar has posted 30.8 points, 9.0 rebounds, and 9.5 assists, along with 2.1 steals.

2 weeks agoPortland Trail Blazers forward
Jerami Grant (knee) will remain sidelined for Wednesday's contest against the Memphis Grizzlies. He is forced to sit out a fifth consecutive game due to an issue with his right knee.
Deni Avdija's fantasy production has greatly increased in Grant's absence. Since his exit from the lineup, Avdija has averaged 23.8 points, 10.8 rebounds, and 4.8 assists.
Kris Murray and
Matisse Thybulle also help to fill the void left by Grant, but they lack fantasy appeal.

2 weeks agoPortland Trail Blazers guard/forward
Toumani Camara (calf) has received the all-clear to return to action on Wednesday against the Memphis Grizzlies. A sore right calf forced Camara to miss Monday's clash against the Washington Wizards, and he was initially regarded as questionable for Wednesday's game. Camara's absence on Monday allowed
Kris Murray to move into the starting lineup. He is set to return to the bench against Memphis, which will hurt Murray's fantasy value. Camara has been delivering strong all-around production in 2024-25, averaging 12.3 points, 5.5 rebounds, 2.6 assists, and 1.5 steals in March.

Jabari Walker (concussion) will miss a third consecutive game on Wednesday against the Memphis Grizzlies. He remains in concussion protocol after sustaining a head injury in a matchup against the New York Knicks a week ago.
Jerami Grant (knee) has also missed time, which has given
Kris Murray more playing time. Murray had a mixed performance on Monday against the Washington Wizards, registering five points, 10 rebounds, three assists, and four steals in 37 minutes, with 25 percent shooting from the field.

2 weeks agoPortland Trail Blazers center
Robert Williams III (knee) will be inactive on Wednesday against the Memphis Grizzlies. The veteran big man has been out for nearly a month, making his last appearance on Feb. 20. It has been another frustrating campaign for the injury-prone center, as Williams III has featured just 20 times for the Trail Blazers in 2024-25.
Duop Reath carries additional fantasy value in Williams III's absence, though he is not a difference-maker in fantasy basketball with Portland's starting center,
Donovan Clingan, fully healthy.

2 weeks agoPhoenix Suns center
Mason Plumlee (quadriceps) will not play against the Chicago Bulls on Wednesday night. He injured his left quadriceps on Monday against the Toronto Raptors, which will cause Plumlee to miss only his second game of the season. In his absence,
Oso Ighodaro will move up in the depth chart. Ighodaro outperformed starting center
Nick Richards on Monday, though it was during a blowout victory. The 22-year-old has averaged 6.4 points, 5.0 rebounds, and 1.2 blocks in 22.4 minutes across five appearances in March.

2 weeks agoPhoenix Suns guard/forward
Grayson Allen (foot) has been ruled out for Wednesday's game against the Chicago Bulls, marking his fifth consecutive absence. The veteran sharpshooter is trying to recover from a left foot strain. The Suns are also without
Bradley Beal (hamstring), prompting head coach Mike Budenholzer to experiment with
Collin Gillespie in the starting unit on Monday versus the Toronto Raptors. With Allen and Beal unavailable,
Tyus Jones,
Royce O'Neale, and
Cody Martin are also given additional playing time.

2 weeks agoSacramento Kings forward
Jake LaRavia (illness) will not be in the lineup on Wednesday against the Cleveland Cavaliers. He was a late addition to the injury report due to an illness, and the team has ruled him out after initially listing LaRavia as questionable. The Wake Forest product should now also be considered iffy for Thursday's game against the Chicago Bulls.
Trey Lyles figures to benefit the most from LaRavia's absence, while
Doug McDermott and
Isaac Jones may pick up a few extra minutes of action.

2 weeks agoOklahoma City Thunder guard
Cason Wallace (shoulder) will not be in action on Wednesday against the Philadelphia 76ers. He will sit out the game due to a right shoulder strain after the team downgraded Wallace's status from questionable to out. With
Shai Gilgeous-Alexander (rest) also unavailable on Wednesday,
Isaiah Joe,
Alex Caruso, and
Aaron Wiggins should get plenty of extra work in the Thunder backcourt. Wiggins erupted for 30 points the last time Oklahoma City was without several of its regulars.

2 weeks agoOklahoma City Thunder center
Isaiah Hartenstein (back) will be inactive on Wednesday against the Philadelphia 76ers. The team has downgraded him from questionable to out, as low back spasms will prevent Hartenstein from suiting up for the game. This means
Chet Holmgren is expected to take on much of the frontcourt work, while
Jaylin Williams and
Kenrich Williams will see extra time on the court. Both players have previously excelled in similar situations and should be considered solid streaming options.
