Jalen Brunson finishes defeat with 19 points

Smart will miss a third straight game, though reports indicated that head coach Ime Udoka was “hopeful” that Smart would return for this game. His next opportunity to suit up will be in Dallas on Friday, while his absence will allow Bogdan Bogdanović to continue to take on extra minutes off the bench.

Poole was initially probable for this game but has now been cleared to suit up against Denver. He’ll continue to be a source of offense for them off the bench, but his role has been too small for him to be worth rostering outside of deep leagues.

Haliburton was already questionable for Wednesday’s game, but he won’t be available for it. There is no clarity to this timeline currently, so hopefully head coach Rick Carlisle will provide more either before or after their game against the 76ers. Andrew Nembhard (neck) is questionable, and T.J. McConnell (hamstring) hasn’t played this season. Nembhard will likely be the starting point guard until Haliburton returns, with Quenton Jackson as the next man up. Rookie Braden Smith could also be part of the rotation if Indiana ends up truly shorthanded.

Lendeborg is still listed as questionable, but this is a good sign. The rookie has been fantastic early on and should continue to put up gaudy stats, assuming he’s available for this game. If something changes, Golden State could turn to Georges Niang in the starting unit.

Joe will miss a second straight game after landing hard on his hip on Sunday. Kevin Huerter and Ronald Holland II should continue to take on a couple extra minutes off the bench with Joe sidelined once again.

Thompson played on Tuesday after missing Sunday’s game, and he should be good to go for the second leg of this back-to-back. Daniss Jenkins, who started in place of Thompson on Sunday, should continue to play a reserve role.

Wiggins was initially listed as questionable, but he is now expected to suit up against Miami. He has been a valuable piece off the bench for the Hawks so far this season and should continue to play a significant reserve role, where he has averaged 15.8 points per game this season.

After missing Washington’s first four games of the season, Dybantsa will finally suit up for the Wizards. Assuming the ankle responds well to playing, he should make his home debut on Friday. Washington has already played this cautiously, so don’t expect Dybantsa to play 35 minutes immediately. He’ll likely be on a minutes restriction, and he may even come off the bench. Eventually, he’ll replace Bilal Coulibaly in the starting lineup, which could happen on Wednesday.

Larsson was initially listed as probable for this game, and now he has officially been give the all-clear to play his typical role off the bench/ He’ll continue to be an important reserve for a Heat squad that is still looking for their first win.

Fontecchio was initially listed as doubtful for this game and has now officially been sidelined. He has played a grand total of six minutes this season and didn’t see the floor in either of Miami’s last two games, so his absence won’t alter the team’s rotation.
