  • KJ Martin (toe) questionable Wednesday vs. Miami
    KJ Martin (left great toe contusion) is questionable for Wednesday’s game against the Heat.

    Advice: Martin missed Philadelphia’s last three games of the regular season, and his absence did not significantly impact fantasy basketball. Should he miss Wednesday’s game, that will also be the case for DFS tournaments. Ricky Council IV can absorb the minutes that would have gone to Martin. Rotoworld 15 minutes ago
     
  • Joel Embiid (knee) questionable Wednesday vs. MIA
    Joel Embiid (left knee injury recovery) is questionable for Wednesday’s game against the Heat.

    Advice: Embiid sat out Philadelphia’s regular-season finale, with 76ers coach Nick Nurse saying it was merely for precautionary reasons. The reigning MVP is questionable for Wednesday’s Play-In game, and while Mo Bamba would likely start if Embiid cannot play, Paul Reed would get most of the minutes. Rotoworld 21 minutes ago
     
  • Won't play Wednesday
    Melton (back/injury recovery) will be unavailable for Wednesday's Play-In Tournament matchup against Miami.

    Advice: Melton has logged just five appearances since Jan. 12, being unable to return to 100 percent after initially dealing with a lumbar stress reaction in his spine. Subsequent attempts to return to action have been short-lived, and his absence from Philadelphia's rotation is a notable loss defensively. Win or lose Wednesday, Philadelphia will have another postseason contest in store, but Melton's outlook is currently bleak. Rotowire.com 27 minutes ago
     
  • Officially questionable
    Embiid (knee) is questionable for Wednesday's Play-In Game against the Heat.

    Advice: Embiid sat out Sunday's regular-season finale against the Nets due to precautionary reasons but practiced Monday and Tuesday. The 76ers have won eight straight, including five in a row with Embiid back in the lineup, and the reining MVP has looked great in the process, averaging 30.4 points, 9.2 rebounds, 5.2 assists, 1.4 steals and 1.2 blocks in 30.6 minutes per game.

  • On track for training camp
    Rockets general manager Rafael Stone said Tuesday that Adams (knee) is on track to be available for training camp, Adam Spolane of Sports Radio 610 Houston.

    Advice: Adams missed the 2023-24 campaign after receiving a season-ending knee surgery in November. The 30-year-old is likely to serve as a veteran presence off the bench behind Alperen Sengun (knee/ankle) next season. Rotowire.com Today, 12:59 pm
     
  • On track for training camp
    Rockets general manager Rafael Stone said Tuesday that Eason (lower leg) is on track to be available for training camp, Adam Spolane of Sports Radio 610 Houston.

    Advice: Eason underwent surgery in March to treat a benign growth in his lower leg but is expected to make a full recovery by the time training camp rolls around in the fall. In 22 appearances last season, Eason averaged 9.8 points, 7.0 rebounds, 1.2 assists and 1.4 steals in 21.8 minutes. The 22-year-old is a versatile prospect on both ends of the floor, but with other young options in the frontcourt such as Jabari Smith, Amen Thompson and Cam Whitmore, Eason may struggle to win playing time.

  • Kevin Love (arm) available Wednesday vs. 76ers
    Kevin Love (upper left arm contusion) is available for Wednesday’s game against Philadelphia.

    Advice: Love played three minutes before exiting Sunday’s regular-season finale with a left arm injury. He’ll provide frontcourt depth off the bench but is unlikely to get the minutes needed to offer reliable value in DFS tournaments. Rotoworld Today, 12:39 pm
     
  • Duncan Robinson (back) probable Wednesday vs. PHI
    Duncan Robinson (left facet syndrome) is probable for Wednesday’s game against Philadelphia.

    Advice: Robinson missed Miami’s last four games of the regular season, with Caleb Martin replacing him in the starting lineup. While he’s probable to play on Wednesday, Robinson will likely come off the bench. He and Tyler Herro have only been part of the same starting lineup twice this season.

  • Terry Rozier (neck) out Wednesday vs. Philadelphia
    Terry Rozier (neck spasms) is out for Wednesday’s game against the 76ers.

    Advice: After missing Miami’s final four regular-season games, Rozier will also miss the 7/8 Play-In tournament matchup with Philadelphia. The “good” news for the Heat is that Tyler Herro is back, and he filled the void in the starting lineup left by Rozier. Look for Caleb Martin to remain in the starting lineup, which boosts his DFS value. Rotoworld Today, 12:34 pm
