Player Notes

  • Logs full practice Wednesday
    Porzingis (calf) was a full participant during Wednesday's practice and participated in a 5-on-5 scrimmage with coaches following the session, Souichi Terada of The Springfield Republican reports.

    Advice: Porzingis has missed four straight contests, including Boston's disappointing loss to the Pacers during the quarterfinals of the In-Season Tournament on Monday. However, the talented big man may return to game action soon. His next chance will come Friday versus the Knicks, but his official status for that contest likely won't surface until Thursday afternoon. Rotowire.com 32 minutes ago
  • Questionable for Wednesday
    Eason is questionable for Wednesday's game against the Thunder due to an illness.

    Advice: Eason is a key part of the second unit for Houston. Over his last five games, he has averaged 6.8 points, 5.2 rebounds, 1.0 assists and 1.2 blocks in 18.5 minutes per game. If he's unable to play Wednesday, we could see more of Jae'Sean Tate. Rotowire.com 37 minutes ago

  • Downgraded to out
    Landale (illness) has been ruled out for Wednesday's game against the Thunder.

    Advice: Landale has been downgraded from questionable and will miss his third game of the season due to injury or illness. He's technically the primary backup to Alperen Sengun, but Houston tends to go small with its second unit, meaning Landale's absence shouldn't have a fantasy impact. Rotowire.com 38 minutes ago
  • Cleared to play
    Hardaway (back) is available for Wednesday's game against Utah.

    Advice: Hardaway and Kyrie Irving (foot) have both been upgraded to available, but Grant Williams (knee) remains questionable. If Williams joins Josh Green (elbow) on the sidelines again, Hardaway could see increased usage, though he may be limited coming off a two-game absence. Rotowire.com 41 minutes ago
  • Available to play
    Irving (foot) is available for Wednesday's game against Utah.

    Advice: Irving missed Saturday's game against the Thunder, but he returned to practice Monday and officially has the green light to return. With Irving back in the lineup, it's likely that Seth Curry returns to the bench for Dallas. Rotowire.com 43 minutes ago
  • Recalled from G League
    The Wizards recalled Baldwin from their G League affiliate Wednesday.

    Advice: The Wizards could potentially be shorthanded for Wednesday's game against the 76ers, as Jordan Poole (ankle) and Landry Shamet (neck) are both questionable. Baldwin has made three appearances for the Wizards this season, but he's played a total of 11 minutes. Rotowire.com 48 minutes ago
  • Gets 21 minutes in return
    Hachimura (nose) posted seven points (3-8 FG, 1-4 3Pt), two rebounds and one assist across 21 minutes in Tuesday's 106-103 win over the Suns.

    Advice: Hachimura missed four consecutive games with a nasal fracture before being upgraded to available ahead of the Lakers' previous contest Saturday against the Rockets, but the fifth-year forward ultimately went unused after head coach Darvin Ham elected to exercise some additional caution with him. The 25-year-old slotted back into the rotation for the quarterfinal round of the In-Season Tournament, serving as a backup big man along with Jarred Vanderbilt and Jaxson Hayes while Christian Wood fell out of the rotation. Given the crowding in the Los Angeles frontcourt, Hachimura likely won't see his playing time expand much from what he received Tuesday so long as Anthony Davis and LeBron James are both available.

  • Will play Wednesday
    Collins (thumb) is available for Wednesday's game against the Timberwolves, Tom Orsborn of the San Antonio Express-News reports.

    Advice: As expected, Collins has been upgraded from probable to available despite a minor thumb sprain. The veteran center has yet to miss a game this season, averaging 13.8 points, 6.0 rebounds, 3.9 assists and 1.4 steal-plus-blocks in 29.1 minutes per night across 19 appearances.

  • Available Wednesday
    Vassell (knee) is available for Wednesday's game against Minnesota, Paul Garcia of ProjectSpurs.com reports.

    Advice: Vassell was probable for Wednesday's matchup and was officially given the green light to suit up after participating in the team's morning shootaround. The 23-year-old has averaged 20.0 points, 2.6 rebounds and 2.6 assists in 26.8 minutes per game over his last five appearances, which have all come off the bench. Rotowire.com Today, 9:16 am
