Fantasy Basketball News

Caris LeVert (knee) is out for Wednesday's contest against the Orlando Magic. (Source: NBA Injury Report)

Fantasy Impact: LeVert will miss Wednesday's game as part of the planned injury maintenance for his knee injury. He didn't aggravate the injury, but the team wants to make sure he stays healthy by giving him the night off to manage his workload. Craig Porter Jr. will likely get a large uptick in work against the Magic while the veteran is out.

Dean Wade (ankle) is officially questionable to play in Wednesday's game against the Orlando Magic. (Source: NBA Injury Report)

Fantasy Impact: A right ankle sprain has forced Wade to miss six consecutive games, but he's officially listed as questionable to play on Wednesday and will have a chance to suit up against the Magic. Even if he's not quite well enough to make his return, this indicates that he will likely be back on the court sometime within the next few games.

Ty Jerome (ankle) is out again for Wednesday's game against the Orlando Magic. (Source: NBA Injury Report)

Fantasy Impact: Late October was the last time that we saw Jerome on the court for the Cavaliers before he suffered a sprained ankle. He has been out ever since then and is set to miss yet another game on Wednesday. There's no return on the horizon for him and he's better off left on the waiver wire in all fantasy leagues for the time being.

Marvin Bagley III (back) is expected to play in Wednesday's contest against the Memphis Grizzlies. (Source: NBA Injury Report)

Fantasy Impact: Bagley is listed on Detroit's injury report for Wednesday thanks to a back injury, but he's officially considered probable and is expected to be available to play. He doesn't see a lot of playing time and remains nothing more than a fringe flex option against the Grizzlies.

Monte Morris (quad) is still out for Wednesday's game against the Memphis Grizzlies. (Source: NBA Injury Report)

Fantasy Impact: Detroit hasn't had Morris for a single game yet this year thanks to a quad injury, and he's going to remain out once again on Wednesday. There's still no real timetable for his return, and he could still be out for a while before he gets healthy enough to play. The Pistons' lineup will remain similar to what it's been all year while the veteran guard remains sidelined for the foreseeable future.

Joe Harris (shoulder) is doubtful to play in Wednesday's game against the Memphis Grizzlies. (Source: NBA Injury Report)

Fantasy Impact: Harris has been sidelined for an extended period of time while nursing a shoulder injury, but it appears that a return is finally on the horizon for the veteran. He's listed as doubtful to play against the Grizzlies, so while he probably won't suit up, that indicates that he's nearing a return. His eventual return to the lineup will mean less work for players like Alec Burks or Marcus Sasser.

Lonnie Walker IV (hamstring) won't play in Wednesday's game against the Atlanta Hawks. (Source: NBA Injury Report)

Fantasy Impact: Wednesday will mark the second-straight game that Walker has missed thanks to a hamstring injury. He's expected to miss more time beyond this game, and it's possible that his absence extends up to a few weeks. Dennis Smith Jr. will continue to receive more playing time in Brooklyn's rotation for however long Walker remains out.

Jock Landale has been ruled out for Wednesday's game against the Thunder. (Source: NBA Injury Report)

Fantasy Impact: The absence of Landale has no impact on the Rockets rotation for fantasy managers.

Tari Eason has been listed as questionable for Wednesday's game against the Thunder. (Source: NBA Injury Report)

Fantasy Impact: If Eason is sidelined, it should open up some more minutes for Jeff Green with the second unit for the Rockets.

Tim Hardaway Jr. is available for Wednesday's game against the Jazz. (Source: NBA Injury Report)

Fantasy Impact: Hardaway had been uncertain, but he will make his return from a two-game absence. He should be in his usual role as a scorer, especially from deep where he is having a career year so far.

Kyrie Irving is available to play on Wednesday against the Jazz. (Source: NBA Injury Report)

Fantasy Impact: Irving returns after missing one game. He should be in his usual starting role alongside Luka Doncic.

Zach Collins is available for Wednesday's game against Minnesota. (Source: NBA Injury Report)

Fantasy Impact: Collins should be in his usual role in the starting lineup for the Spurs. He'll be joined by Victor Wembanyama making his return to the court.

Devin Vassell is available for Wednesday's game against Minnesota. (Source: NBA Injury Report)

Fantasy Impact: Vassell will likely remain on the bench, but still in a big role. He should see his usual minutes.

Jaden McDaniels (ankle) remains out for Wednesday's game against the San Antonio Spurs. (Source: NBA Injury Report)

Fantasy Impact: McDaniels is set to miss yet another game on Wednesday. The initial timetable for his injury projected that he would miss close to a week, but that was over two weeks ago at this point and we still don't have any concrete date set for his return. Troy Brown Jr. will continue to get more work for however long McDaniels remains out moving forward.

Jordan McLaughlin (knee) is out again for Wednesday's game against the San Antonio Spurs. (Source: NBA Injury Report)

Fantasy Impact: The Timberwolves have been without McLaughlin since early November due to a knee injury that he's been rehabbing, and he's set to miss another game on Wednesday. He has been able to practice recently, however, and it appears that he may be back sometime within the next few games.

Jordan Poole (ankle) is questionable for Wednesday's game against the Philadelphia 76ers. (Source: NBA Injury Report)

Fantasy Impact: Poole is on the injury report and carries a questionable tag for Wednesday's game thanks to an ankle injury that he's dealing with. It's unclear if his status is trending one way or the other for Washington's game, but if he's unable to play, Tyus Jones should be primed to get more minutes against the 76ers.

Delon Wright (knee) is still out for Wednesday's game against the Philadelphia 76ers. (Source: NBA Injury Report)

Fantasy Impact: A sprained knee has left Wright sidelined for multiple weeks at this point, and he's set to miss yet another game on Wednesday. The team has yet to determine a date for his return, but we can deduce that he should be nearing a return, given the initial timetable that the team provided. Landry Shamet (rib) will continue to benefit from his extended absence from a fantasy standpoint.

Johnny Davis (calf) is listed as questionable to play in Washington's matchup against the Philadelphia 76ers. (Source: NBA Injury Report)

Fantasy Impact: Davis is managing a calf injury that will leave him with a questionable tag heading into Wednesday's game. He's presumably day-to-day for the time being, and it's unclear yet if he will have to miss any time because of the injury. If he does, Landry Shamet (rib) may get more minutes as a result of his absence.

Landry Shamet (rib) is questionable for Wednesday's game against the Philadelphia 76ers. (Source: NBA Injury Report)

Fantasy Impact: Shamet may miss Washington's game on Wednesday thanks to a rib injury that's bothering him. It's not expected to be a serious issue, but the team could still choose to sit him and let him get healthy before throwing him back in the lineup. If that's the case, Johnny Davis (calf) will be in line to get more work while he's out.

Jamal Murray (ankle) is questionable to play in Wednesday night's game against the Los Angeles Clippers. (Source: NBA Injury Report)

Fantasy Impact: Murray has missed Denver's last two games while dealing with an ankle injury, and he's at risk of missing another game on Wednesday. He's considered questionable to play for right now, and the team will make a decision about his availability closer to game time. Reggie Jackson will be primed for more work if the 26-year old is unable to play against the Clippers.
