All Player News

Josh Green

DAL Small Forward #8

Josh Green (right elbow soreness) will be out “a couple of weeks”, per The Athletic’s Shams Charania.
Jock Landale

HOU Center #2

Jock Landale (illness) is questionable for Wednesday’s game against the Thunder.

Landale hasn’t been a player worth rostering in fantasy leagues, as he ranked outside the top 350 in 9-cat per-game value. His potential absence won’t impact fantasy managers in the slightest.
Aaron Gordon

DEN Power Forward #50

Aaron Gordon (right heel strain) is probable for Wednesday’s game against the Clippers.

Gordon, who made his return to the lineup on Saturday, should be able to play Wednesday night. If he sits, Justin Holiday would move back into the starting lineup, where he offers limited streaming value.
Mark Williams

CHA Center #5

Mark Williams (low back contusion) is questionable for Wednesday’s game against the Bulls.

Williams is the lone addition to the Hornets’ injury report, and his potential absence impacts multiple players. While Nick Richards could be the next man up, it’s possible that P.J. Washington will move into the starting lineup instead. Since the return of Miles Bridges from a 10-game suspension, Washington has played a considerable percentage of his minutes at the center position.
Lauri Markkanen

UTA Power Forward #23

Lauri Markkanen (left hamstring strain) and Kelly Olynyk (right shoulder strain) are out for Wednesday’s game against the Mavericks.

Markkanen will remain sidelined for at least one more game, keeping Simone Fontecchio in the starting lineup. As for Olynyk, his absence will free up additional minutes for Omer Yurtseven, who has remained in the starting lineup even with Walker Kessler back in action.
Jordan Clarkson

UTA Point Guard #00

Jordan Clarkson (right thigh contusion) has been ruled out for Wednesday’s game against the Mavericks.

Clarkson will miss a third consecutive game with the contused thigh, meaning that Ochai Agbaji will get another start. The second-year wing hasn’t been a great streaming option, and there should be better options on the waiver wire, with Wednesday being an 11-game night. However, with the Jazz also without Lauri Markkanen, Agbaji should be considered in deep leagues at a minimum.
Andre Jackson Jr.

MIL Shooting Guard #44

Andre Jackson Jr. (lower back spasms) is available for Tuesday’s game against the Knicks.

Jackson will be available after sitting out Saturday’s game against the Hawks. The rookie out of UConn hasn’t been a great fantasy option this season, whether he comes off the bench or receives a spot start. Jackson will help with the numbers as the Bucks remain without Pat Connaughton, but that’s about it.
Dean Wade

CLE Power Forward #32

Dean Wade (right ankle sprain) is questionable for Wednesday’s game against the Magic.

Wade was able to practice on Monday, which represents a positive development. Should he be cleared to return Wednesday night, Isaac Okoro and Georges Niang could see their minutes take a slight hit, and neither has done enough to merit being rostered in most fantasy leagues.
Joe Harris

DET Shooting Guard #31

Joe Harris (right shoulder sprain) is officially doubtful for Wednesday’s game against the Grizzlies.

While progressing in his recovery, Harris still has a way to go before he’s cleared for game action. And even if he happens to get cleared to play on Wednesday, the minutes needed to be of value in any fantasy league won’t be there, especially with Bojan Bogdanovic back in action.
Marvin Bagley III

DET Power Forward #35

Marvin Bagley III (low back sprain) is probable for Wednesday’s game against the Grizzlies.

Bagley appears to be on track to play Wednesday night. However, it’s unlikely he’ll get the minutes needed to be of value in any fantasy league. With Bojan Bogdanovic making his season debut in Saturday’s loss to the Cavaliers, Bagley was on the court for only seven minutes. His current Yahoo rostered percentage (nine percent) is too high.
