Isaiah Stewart

DET Forward-Center #28

Personalize your Rotoworld feed by favoriting players
Isaiah Stewart (illness) is out for Sunday’s game against the Clippers.

Added to the Pistons’ injury report on Saturday morning, Stewart’s absence opens up a spot in the starting lineup. Paul Reed, who started alongside Beef Stew in Wednesday’s win over the Bulls, will have solid streaming upside since Jalen Duren (ankle) is also out.

Sam Merrill

CLE Guard #5

Personalize your Rotoworld feed by favoriting players

Donovan Mitchell, Sam Merrill, Jaylon Tyson, Dean Wade and Jarrett Allen will start Wednesday’s game against the Lakers.

Merrill is back after missing time due to a hand injury and for personal reasons. He’ll move into the starting lineup, filling the void left by the injured Evan Mobley. Cleveland’s other four starters are unchanged from Monday’s win over the Magic.

Cason Wallace

OKC Guard #22

Cason Wallace (hip) is listed as questionable ahead of Thursday’s game against the Timberwolves.

Cason Wallace has been upgraded to questionable, which is good news after missing Tuesday’s game against the Pelicans. The third-year guard hasn’t quite produced as well as he did a season ago, but remains a key defender who can knock down the three-point shot. If available on Thursday, fantasy managers shouldn’t expect him to put up any spectacular stat line.

Isaiah Hartenstein

OKC Center-Forward #55
Isaiah Hartenstein (calf) is not on the injury report for Thursday’s game against the Timberwolves.

Thursday’s game will be Hartenstein’s first since December 28, with his return giving the Thunder another option in the front court. While usually a starter, iHart could be used in a reserve role in his first game back, depending on the restrictions he’s under. If Hartenstein starts, Jaylin Williams will head to the bench.

Cody Williams

UTA Forward #5
Cody Williams (illness) is out for Wednesday’s game against the Warriors.

Williams will not be available after starting Utah’s last 11 games. His absence will likely result in more opportunities for Brice Sensabaugh and Taylor Hendricks, with the former being the far superior fantasy option. Sensabaugh is the only one worth streaming.

Collin Murray-Boyles

TOR Forward #12

Collin Murray-Boyles is available to play against the Knicks on Wednesday.

Murray-Boyles is active for the first time since Toronto’s January 18 loss to the Lakers, which will end a four-game absence. The rookie forward has enjoyed a nice first NBA season and has carved out a consistent role on a Raptors team that is currently riding a four-game win streak. His return on Wednesday provides the the team with another versatile wing who can defend, facilitate, and put the ball in the basket on offense. He’ll more than likely come off the bench.

Kel'el Ware

MIA Center #7
Kel’el Ware (hamstring) is available for Wednesday’s game against the Magic.

Ware is back after a four-game absence, giving the Heat needed depth in the frontcourt. His return will likely lead to fewer minutes for Nikola Jović, who offered solid streaming value while Ware was out.

Davion Mitchell

MIA Guard #45
Davion Mitchell (shoulder) is out for Wednesday’s game against the Magic.

Wednesday’s game will be the fourth that he’s missed as he continues to deal with a left shoulder injury. Kasparas Jakučionis will continue to fill in as the starting point guard, but his value has not been enough to merit being streamed in most leagues.

Norman Powell

MIA Guard #24

Norman Powell (back) is available to play on Wednesday against the Magic.

Powell is good to go for Wednesday’s game despite dealing with a back injury. The veteran guard has been Miami’s top leading scorer in his first year with the team, currently averaging a career-high in points. His presence will give the Heat a greater chance to pull off a third straight win. They’re currently seventh in the Eastern Conference standings, and just one game above the Magic, who they face on Wednesday.

Zach Collins

CHI Forward-Center #12

Zach Collins (toe) will be re-evaluated in two weeks.

Collins has been out since late December, and a return to action does not appear to be on the horizon. Bulls head coach Billy Donovan said on Wednesday that the 6-foot-11 forward/center is still in a walking boot and he’ll be re-evaluated in two weeks. The Bulls will continue to rely on Nikola Vučević and Jalen Smith, with the latter having recently moved into the starting lineup.

Jarace Walker

IND Forward #5

Jarace Walker (foot) is available for Wednesday’s game against the Bulls.

Walker was initially questionable for Wednesday’s game, but he’s good to go. He moved into the starting lineup on Friday and remained there for Monday’s loss to the Hawks, recording 12 points and five steals. Walker should continue to figure prominently in the Pacers’ rotation as the team focuses on getting its younger players more minutes.
