Wed Mar 2722:45Al Horford Back On The Injury ReportAl HorfordCCelticsFree Agent
Boston Celtics forward/center Al Horford (toe) is in danger of missing Wednesday's rematch against the Hawks. He is questionable because of a left big toe sprain, an injury he's been battling for the last week. But the 37-year-old has mostly played through the pain and logged 36 minutes when these clubs met on Monday night. With Jrue Holiday (shoulder) potentially in line to miss a sixth consecutive contest, Horford could stay with the starting unit. But if Holiday and Horford are out, Sam Hauser, averaging 12.6 points and 5.0 rebounds in 10 starts this season, should continue to receive extra work.

Wed Mar 2722:38Derrick White Off The Injury ReportDerrick WhiteSGSpursFree Agent
Boston Celtics guard Derrick White isn't listed on the league's official injury report heading toward Thursday's rematch with the Hawks. White wasn't in the lineup when these clubs met on Monday because of a hand issue. Yet, this injury isn't new, so he likely just got the night off to take a breather. Sam Hauser got the start, although he finished with just six points. With Al Horford (toe) and Jrue Holiday (shoulder) questionable for Thursday, there could still be room for Hauser to remain with the first five. Considering Hauser had double-digit scoring performances in five of his previous seven games means he has an excellent chance to bounce back.

Wed Mar 2721:22Aaron Gordon Cleared To Face PhoenixAaron GordonPFNuggetsFree Agent
Denver Nuggets forward Aaron Gordon (foot) will play on Thursday against Phoenix. He's been battling a right plantar fascia strain for at least a few games. However, the 28-year-old finally sat out, missing Monday's win over the Memphis Grizzlies. Christian Braun got the start and played exceptionally well, finishing with 17 points off 8-for-10 shooting from the field. But with Gordon back in the lineup, Braun's fantasy ceiling will come crashing down.

Wed Mar 2721:21Michael Porter Jr. Good To Go WednesdayMichael PorterSFNuggetsFree Agent
Denver Nuggets forward Michael Porter Jr. (illness) will play on Wednesday against Phoenix. He's made appearances on the injury report of late because of a non-COVID-illness. Yet, it hasn't cost him any time. However, the 25-year-old has combined for 23 points in the Nuggets' previous two games, so he may not be worth rostering in DFS contests until he's fully healthy.

Wed Mar 2721:20Nikola Jokic Playing Against PhoenixNikola JokicCNuggetsFree Agent
Denver Nuggets center Nikola Jokic (back, hip) will play on Wednesday versus the Suns. He didn't suit up for Saturday's win over the Portland Trail Blazers because of back and hip soreness. However, the multi-time MVP returned for Monday's meeting with Memphis, finishing two assists shy of a triple-double. Jokic has averaged 23.0 points, 10.5 boards, and 10.5 assists versus Phoenix this season, making him an ideal option for any fantasy lineup.

Wed Mar 2721:18Jrue Holiday Might Return On ThursdayJrue HolidayPGBucksFree Agent
Boston Celtics guard Jrue Holiday (shoulder) is questionable for Thursday's game against Atlanta. He's missed the last five games with an AC joint sprain, so this could be his first appearance in nearly two weeks. But the C's are sitting comfortably atop the Eastern Conference, meaning Holiday won't be on the floor until he's fully healthy. Nonetheless, if he sits out another game, Sam Hauser, averaging 12.6 points and 5.0 rebounds in 10 starts during the 2023-24 campaign, could remain with the first five.

Wed Mar 2721:11Khris Middleton Expected To Play On Thursday NightKhris MiddletonSFBucksFree Agent
Milwaukee Bucks forward Khris Middleton (ankle) is expected to play on Thursday against the Pelicans. The veteran was sidelined for over a month because of a sprained ankle. However, he's been back in the lineup in four of Milwaukee's previous five games. Middleton has had a few solid showings since his return. But he scored only 12 points in Tuesday's double-overtime loss to the Los Angeles Lakers. At any rate, his fantasy ceiling is still higher than most. Yet, the 32-year-old is not as consistent as he used to be.

Wed Mar 2720:48Joel Embiid To Return Soon?Joel EmbiidC76ersFree Agent
According to ESPN's Adrian Wojnarowski, Philadelphia 76ers center Joel Embiid (knee) might return before the end of the regular season. Wojnarowski stated that it's not a matter of "if" but "when," while adding the team hopes to get him back with at least a few games left before the postseason begins. The 30-year-old averaged a career-high 35.3 points with 11.3 rebounds, 5.7 assists, and 1.8 blocks before going down with a knee injury at the end of January. Of course, it could take him a few games to get back up to speed. However, Embiid's presence will immediately mean less work for Mo Bamba and Paul Reed, who have seen an uptick in production while the reigning MVP has been sidelined.

Wed Mar 2720:24Jamal Murray Out Again On WednesdayJamal MurrayPGNuggetsFree Agent
Denver Nuggets guard Jamal Murray (ankle) remains out for Wednesday's matchup with Phoenix. This will be there veteran's third consecutive absence after tweaking his ankle during a recent meeting with the New York Knicks. With that said, his next chance to return will be Friday against Minnesota. However, Reggie Jackson, coming off a 15-point performance on Monday versus Memphis, will remain a worthwhile DFS option.

Wed Mar 2719:59Rudy Gobert Ready To Rock Against PistonsRudy GobertCJazzFree Agent
Minnesota Timberwolves center Rudy Gobert (ribs) has shaken off a questionable tag and will be in the lineup on Wednesday against Detroit. Health issues have limited Gobert to only three outings across the last seven games, but he will make his third consecutive appearance on Wednesday. The French giant should have a good game against a mediocre rebounding team that allows centers to shoot 59.2 percent from the field. Gobert bagged 19 points and 16 rebounds against the Pistons in this season's first head-to-head matchup in January.

Wed Mar 2719:56LeBron James Officially Active Against MemphisLeBron JamesSFLakersFree Agent
Los Angeles Lakers forward LeBron James (ankle) will play on Wednesday versus the Memphis Grizzlies. James didn't suit up for Tuesday's double-overtime win over the Bucks because of his nagging ankle injury. However, the Lakers need him healthy for the postseason, so he got a night off for the first half of back-to-back contests. The 39-year-old has averaged 24.0 points, 7.0 rebounds, 6.5 assists, and 3.0 steals in two meetings with Memphis this season. Yet, with Anthony Davis (knee) sidelined, James could be more productive.

Wed Mar 2719:53Anthony Davis Won't Play Against GrizzliesAnthony DavisCLakersFree Agent
Los Angeles Lakers forward/center Anthony Davis (knee) will sit out Wednesday's game against Memphis. This should come as a surprise to no one after Davis put in a mammoth of an effort across a career-high 52 minutes in a double-overtime win against Milwaukee on Tuesday. Jaxson Hayes will pick up his fourth start of the year in Davis' stead. He's averaged 10.0 points and 7.7 rebounds in the role and should do well against a weak Memphis squad that has the league's third-lowest rebounding rate.

Wed Mar 2719:47Anthony Edwards Will Play Against DetroitAnthony EdwardsSFTimberwolvesFree Agent
Minnesota Timberwolves guard/forward Anthony Edwards (finger) will be in the lineup on Wednesday against Detroit. He's been upgraded from probable to available. Edwards hurt his left middle finger last week in a clash with Utah but has remained in the lineup. The Timberwolves star has struggled with his shooting in the last couple of games, but facing off against a bad team like the Pistons should help Edwards find his stroke again. He had 27 points in 33 minutes with five rebounds and eight assists in this season's first head-to-head meeting.

Wed Mar 2719:39Aaron Nesmith Back For Pacers WednesdayAaron NesmithSFCelticsFree Agent
Indiana Pacers forward Aaron Nesmith (knee) will rejoin the action on Wednesday versus Chicago. He's back after missing one game with a bruised knee. Nesmith's form has been a bit up and down lately, but he's still had a decent month by posting 10.9 points, 3.1 rebounds, and 1.0 blocks. Meeting a defensively mediocre team like the Bulls could help Nesmith break out of his shooting slump -- the 24-year-old has hit only 40.8 percent of his shots in March.

Wed Mar 2719:32Alec Burks Remains Out On WednesdayAlec BurksSFKnicksFree Agent
New York Knicks guard/forward Alec Burks (shoulder) will miss a second consecutive game on Wednesday versus Toronto. There was initially hope of him returning when the team listed him as questionable for the game, but Burks has now been downgraded to out. Burks' absence leaves the Knicks without a good scoring option off the bench. He's averaged around 15 minutes a night in the Big Apple, and Bojan Bogdanovic will have a chance to get some extra action off the Knicks bench without Burks.

Wed Mar 2719:27Mitchell Robinson Returns For Knicks WednesdayMitchell RobinsonCKnicksFree Agent
New York Knicks center Mitchell Robinson (ankle) is officially available for Wednesday's matchup against Toronto. After recovering from ankle surgery, he will make his first appearance since Dec. 8. New York's defensive anchor played a massive role at the start of the campaign, but it's likely he will return with some kind of a minutes restriction, which will limit his fantasy value on Wednesday. Robinson will eat into the minutes of Isaiah Hartenstein, who's been the Knicks' starter in the middle during his absence.

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.
