Wed Mar 2719:01Dejounte Murray Upgraded To AvailableDejounte MurrayPGSpursFree Agent
Atlanta Hawks guard Dejounte Murray (back) will play in Wednesday's matchup against Portland. He landed on the initial injury report with a sore back and a questionable designation, but the 2022 All-Star has now been cleared to play. Murray has been a beast for fantasy managers throughout the month, averaging 25.5 points, 5.3 rebounds, 9.3 assists, 2.3 steals, and 3.8 three-point makes. He's already faced the Trail Blazers once in March, and Murray went off for 40 points in the contest. A similar performance on Wednesday isn't out of the question, with Trae Young (finger) and Jalen Johnson (ankle) still absent and Murray getting a lot of shots because of it.

Wed Mar 2718:54John Konchar Downgraded To OutJohn KoncharSGGrizzliesFree Agent
Memphis Grizzlies guard/forward John Konchar (heel) won't return to the lineup on Wednesday versus the Lakers. The team has downgraded Konchar from doubtful to out, meaning he sits out a second consecutive contest. With Luke Kennard (personal) also unavailable, Scotty Pippen Jr. and Jordan Goodwin get extra work on the Grizzlies backcourt. Both have gotten some playing time as starters recently, although Goodwin didn't see any action in the last game against Denver, and it's very difficult to predict how the rotation will work out on Wednesday.

Wed Mar 2718:47Vince Williams Jr. Misses Another Game On WednesdayVince WilliamsNAGrizzliesFree Agent
Memphis Grizzlies guard/forward Vince Williams Jr. (knee) will be out for a ninth consecutive game on Wednesday versus the Lakers. He remains on the shelf with a left patellar problem, with the team downgrading him from doubtful to out. Williams Jr.'s absence has secured significant roles in the rotation for GG Jackson II and Jake LaRavia. The young Grizzlies should relish the opportunity to pit their talents against LeBron James (ankle), who is expected to return to the Lakers lineup on Wednesday.

Wed Mar 2718:45Giannis Antetokounmpo Expected To Face The PelicansGiannis AntetokounmpoPFBucksFree Agent
Milwaukee Bucks forward Giannis Antetokounmpo (hamstring) is expected to play on Thursday in New Orleans. The multi-time MVP has been plagued by left hamstring tendinopathy over the last few weeks. However, the injury appears to be getting better, considering he logged 46 minutes in Tuesday's double-overtime loss to the Los Angeles Lakers. But Milwaukee has a few relatively easy matchups on the horizon, meaning he may get a night off heading toward the postseason. With that in mind, Antetokounmpo amassed 30 points, 12 boards, and two blocks against the Pelicans the first time these clubs met earlier in the season, keeping him on the radar for DFS managers on Thursday night.

Wed Mar 2718:39Alex Caruso Will Play Against IndianaAlex CarusoSGBullsFree Agent
Chicago Bulls guard Alex Caruso (ankle) will be in the lineup on Wednesday against Indiana. The team has upgraded him from questionable to available as Caruso continues to play through an ankle problem. The 30-year-old has saved some of his best performances of the season for the Pacers. He has averaged 15.3 points, 4.0 rebounds, 3.1 assists, and 1.5 steals across three games against them, with 60 percent shooting from deep.

Wed Mar 2718:34Ayo Dosunmu Good To Go On WednesdayAyo DosunmuPGBullsFree Agent
Chicago Bulls guard Ayo Dosunmu (illness) has been cleared to play on Wednesday versus Indiana. He was a late addition to the injury report with an upper respiratory illness but has shaken it off to keep his ironman streak going -- Dosunmu hasn't missed a game since early November. The 24-year-old has taken big steps in his development in recent months and enters Wednesday's action averaging 17.1 points and 5.5 assists for March. Indiana's defense has improved lately, but the team continues to play with a very high pace, which makes this a really good fantasy matchup for Dosunmu and the Bulls.

Wed Mar 2718:26Matisse Thybulle Not Ready To Return On WednesdayMatisse ThybulleSF76ersFree Agent
Portland Trail Blazers guard/forward Matisse Thybulle (ankle) will remain on the shelf Wednesday versus Atlanta. The team has once again downgraded him from questionable to out, meaning Thybulle will miss a fifth consecutive game. It looks like Thybulle is close to returning from an ankle issue, but it's tough to predict when he will be back. His next chance to make a comeback comes on Friday in a matchup against Miami. Portland continues to carry a lot of injuries, which will give Rayan Rupert a new opportunity to start on Wednesday. He is expected to be joined by Scoot Henderson, Kris Murray, Toumani Camara, and Duop Reath.

Wed Mar 2718:25Max Strus Back On WednesdayMax StrusSGHeatFree Agent
Cleveland Cavaliers forward Max Strus (knee) will play in Wednesday's clash with the Hornets. The 27-year-old will finally return to the lineup after sitting out a few weeks with a sprained right knee. Undoubtedly, the Cavs are glad to have him back, considering the team has struggled in the last 10 games. With Strus' return, Caris LeVert will head back to the bench. However, Levert will still get enough action to warrant DFS consideration in a favorable matchup with Charlotte.

Wed Mar 2718:24Brandon Clarke Will Play On WednesdayBrandon ClarkePFGrizzliesFree Agent
Memphis Grizzlies forward/center Brandon Clarke (Achilles) will suit up for Wednesday's game versus the Lakers. The 27-year-old hasn't played in over a year because of an Achilles tear that required surgery. Since then, he's been working his way back and has flirted with returning over the last few games. The Grizzlies could certainly use him, primarily since the roster is loaded with injuries. Although there's a realistic chance Clarke will be limited in his first game back, there's no denying his upside, especially when you consider his DFS rostering cost.

Wed Mar 2718:21Jerami Grant Remains Out For PortlandJerami GrantPFPistonsFree Agent
Portland Trail Blazers forward Jerami Grant (hamstring) will sit out a ninth consecutive game on Wednesday against the Hawks. He continues to recover from a hamstring strain, and it doesn't look like Grant is close to returning. Jabari Walker, Kris Murray, and Toumani Camara all have opportunities to fill bigger roles with Grant out. The three have played well, but all have issues with inconsistency, which makes it hard to trust them on a nightly basis in fantasy basketball.

Wed Mar 2718:14Deandre Ayton Won't Play Against AtlantaDeandre AytonCSunsFree Agent
Portland Trail Blazers center Deandre Ayton (elbow) will miss a fourth straight contest against Atlanta on Wednesday. The injury-prone big man is dealing with an elbow issue and will have his next chance to return on Friday versus Miami. Duop Reath is getting another start in Ayton's place. He tends to be a bit inconsistent with his performances, but Reath has posted solid numbers in a starting role and will find himself in a juicy matchup on Wednesday. Atlanta is a struggling defensive team, and opposing centers usually feast against the Hawks on the glass.

Wed Mar 2718:08Cam Thomas Cleared For Action WednesdayCam ThomasSGNetsFree Agent
Brooklyn Nets guard/forward Cam Thomas (back) will be back on the court Wednesday versus Washington. He was initially regarded as questionable for the game after Thomas was a late scratch for Monday's meeting with Toronto. Thomas has had a great campaign, leading his team with 21.5 points per game, and he should be in full flow on Wednesday in a pace-up spot against one of the worst defensive teams in the league. Jalen Wilson had an opportunity to start on Monday with Thomas missing and looks set to head back to the bench versus the Wizards, where he doesn't carry any fantasy appeal.

Wed Mar 2717:59Trayce Jackson-Davis In, Jonathan Kuminga Out For Warriors WednesdayJonathan KumingaSFWarriorsFree Agent
Golden State Warriors center Trayce Jackson-Davis (knee) has been cleared to play on Wednesday versus Orlando, while forward Jonathan Kuminga (knee) will miss the action. Both players were initially regarded as questionable for the game. Jackson-Davis returns from a one-game absence after he missed Tuesday's matchup against Miami. The 24-year-old rookie has carved out a good role for himself this month, averaging 10.9 points, 6.6 rebounds, and 1.8 blocks in 23.0 minutes. However, he will be in a tricky spot to produce good numbers on Wednesday, as the Magic give up the second-fewest points and the fourth-fewest rebounds in the league to centers.

Wed Mar 2717:52Shai Gilgeous-Alexander Won't Play On WednesdayShai Gilgeous-AlexanderSGThunderFree Agent
Oklahoma City Thunder guard Shai Gilgeous-Alexander (quadriceps) will sit out Wednesday's clash against Houston. OKC completes a back-to-back versus the Rockets, and the MVP candidate will sit out the action with a quadriceps injury he has been carrying since last week. Rookie Cason Wallace and sniper Isaiah Joe are looking at an opportunity to play more in Gilgeous-Alexander's absence. It's not a good spot for the two to perform, as Houston boasts a 112.1 defensive rating, which puts the team eighth in the league.

Wed Mar 2714:37LeBron James Expected To Play Against MemphisLeBron JamesSFLakersFree Agent
Los Angeles Lakers forward LeBron James (ankle) is expected to be available for Wednesday's meeting with the Memphis Grizzlies. After missing Tuesday's overtime thriller against the Milwaukee Bucks because of left ankle soreness, James is set to return on the second night of LA's back-to-back. Expect the 39-year-old future Hall of Famer to handle his usual workload in a soft matchup with the 24-48 Grizzlies. Across 13 appearances since the All-Star break, James is averaging 27.5 points, 9.3 rebounds, 7.2 dimes, 1.0 steals, and 2.3 three-pointers and could take on even more playmaking duties if Anthony Davis (knee) is ruled out after playing 52 minutes on Tuesday.

Wed Mar 2714:28Jalen Duren Listed As AvailableJalen DurenNAPistonsFree Agent
Detroit Pistons center Jalen Duren (back) is listed as available to play on Wednesday against the Minnesota Timberwolves. Duren will return from a three-game absence due to lower back spasms, bouncing James Wiseman from Detroit's starting lineup in the process. Although Minnesota is giving up the sixth-fewest DraftKings points to enemy centers, Duren's matchup outlook would greatly improve if interior presence Rudy Gobert (ribs) sits out on Wednesday. The 20-year-old 2022 first-round pick has notched 12 double-doubles post-All-Star break, averaging 13.5 points while shooting 60.5% from the floor, 11.8 boards, 2.5 assists, and 0.9 blocks through his last 15 outings. He's unlikely to have his minutes restricted, but a clash with the first-place T-Wolves presents significant blowout risk that could affect his playing time.

Wed Mar 2714:18Jaden Ivey Downgraded To QuestionableJaden IveyNAPistonsFree Agent
Detroit Pistons guard Jaden Ivey (knee) is now listed as questionable for Wednesday's game against the Minnesota Timberwolves. Ivey being a late addition to the injury report with soreness in his left knee is not a good sign for his chances of suiting up on Wednesday. With Cade Cunningham (knee) also iffy, the 12-60 Pistons could be severely undermanned in the backcourt against a vaunted Minnesota defense that's holding point guards to the fifth-fewest DraftKings points this season. Marcus Sasser(illness), who is probable, and Malachi Flynn could be in line for big minutes for Detroit in this one, and although they wouldn't be the most appetizing season-long streamers during the fantasy semifinals, they're worth watching as DFS salary-relief options on a massive 12-game slate.

Wed Mar 2714:07Jonathan Kuminga, Trayce Jackson-Davis Both QuestionableJonathan KumingaSFWarriorsFree Agent
Golden State Warriors forward Jonathan Kuminga (knee) and center Trayce Jackson-Davis (knee) are questionable for Wednesday's contest against the Orlando Magic. Both players are experiencing knee soreness, which could leave Golden State's frontcourt shorthanded against Paolo Banchero. Jackson-Davis is at risk of missing a second straight game, which would allow Kevon Looney to maintain reserve minutes from the Warriors' bench. Given the team's lack of depth in the frontcourt to begin with, the Dubs could be forced into a greater rate of small-ball units, with Draymond Green monopolizing center minutes. The 34-year-old veteran has been a dependable nine-category fantasy player lately, averaging 8.0 points, 8.4 rebounds, 6.8 assists, and 1.1 steals in 29.6 minutes over his last 10 games, but Green takes on a Magic team that's giving up the fourth-fewest FanDuel points to opposing centers.

Wed Mar 2713:30Victor Wembanyama, Keldon Johnson Both At ShootaroundKeldon JohnsonPFSpursFree Agent
San Antonio Spurs center Victor Wembanyama (ankle) and forward Keldon Johnson (knee) participated in Wednesday's morning shootaround. While both players remain formally listed as questionable for the game against the Utah Jazz, their presences at the session puts them on the right side of their designations. Wembanyama is dealing with a sprained left ankle, while Johnson is nursing soreness in his left knee, and their next chance to return would come on Friday against the New York Knicks if they sit out on Wednesday. In eight games without Wemby this season, Zach Collins is averaging 16.3 points, 4.9 rebounds, 2.8 assists, 1.0 steals, and 1.6 threes and could dominate frontcourt minutes as a must-start fantasy play against a Jazz squad yielding the most FanDuel points to enemy power forwards.

Wed Mar 2713:20Mitchell Robinson Expected To Return Against RaptorsMitchell RobinsonCKnicksFree Agent
New York Knicks center Mitchell Robinson (ankle) is expected to be active and available to play in Wednesday's matchup versus the Toronto Raptors. Upgraded to questionable on Wednesday morning, Robinson now moves to the cusp of a return following ankle surgery that's kept him out since Dec. 8. The shot-blocking big man is going to face minutes restrictions upon his return to the floor for the 43-28 Knicks, so he won't be a recommended fantasy option in season-long or DFS settings in his first game back, despite a matchup against a Raptors bunch allowing the seventh-most FanDuel points to opposing centers. Isaiah Hartenstein has filled in admirably down low in the Big Apple, averaging 8.1 points on 65.0% shooting from the field, 9.9 rebounds, 2.9 assists, and 2.5 combined steals plus blocks over 39 starts this season, but he has the most to lose from a fantasy perspective with Robinson back in the mix.
