  • Kevin Durant (foot) available Wednesday vs. TOR
    Kevin Durant (right foot soreness) is available for Wednesday’s game against the Raptors.

    Advice: Durant has been cleared to play after participating in Tuesday’s practice, making his return after a two-game absence. Keita Bates-Diop should drop back to the bench with this development, and his already-low fantasy value will take a significant hit. Rotoworld 14 minutes ago
     
  • Good to go Wednesday
    Durant (foot) is available for Wednesday's game versus the Raptors, Duane Rankin of The Arizona Republic reports.

    Advice: Durant has been upgraded from probable to available Wednesday after missing the previous two games with a right foot contusion. The superstar forward will likely reclaim his starting spot from Keita Bates-Diop. Rotowire.com 15 minutes ago
     
  • Larry Nance Jr. (illness) out Wednesday vs. 76ers
    Larry Nance Jr. (illness) has been ruled out for Wednesday’s game against the 76ers.

    Advice: Nance is a late addition to the injury report, leaving the Pelicans down a big man in their rotation. Cody Zeller should see an increase in minutes, but he is not worth streaming in this spot. Rotoworld 20 minutes ago
     
  • Late scratch Wednesday
    Nance is out for Wednesday's game versus the 76ers due to a non-COVID illness.

    Advice: Nance was a late addition to New Orleans' injury report and will be held out of Wednesday's contest. Cody Zeller, Naji Marshall and Jeremiah Robinson-Earl are candidates to receive extended minutes in his absence. Nance's next chance to suit up is Friday's matchup with the Spurs.

  • Dean Wade, Ty Jerome out Thursday vs. Portland
    Dean Wade (right ankle sprain) and Ty Jerome (right ankle sprain) have been ruled out for Thursday’s game against the Trail Blazers.

    Advice: The continued absences of Wade and Jerome will not significantly impact fantasy basketball, as neither is productive enough to merit being rostered in most leagues when healthy. Rotoworld 43 minutes ago

  • Remains out
    Wade (ankle) has been ruled out for Thursday's game against the Trail Blazers, Evan Dammarell of FearTheSword.com reports.

    Advice: Wade will miss a fifth straight game due to a right ankle sprain. His next chance to suit up will come Saturday in Detroit, though he doesn't have a clear return timeline. However, he was spotted getting shots up following Wednesday's practice, per Chris Fedor of The Cleveland Plain Dealer. Rotowire.com 45 minutes ago

  • Now likely to play Wednesday
    Olynyk (shoulder) is probable for Wednesday's game versus the Grizzlies, Eric Walden of The Salt Lake Tribune reports.

    Advice: Olynyk has been upgraded from questionable to probable Wednesday despite dealing with a right shoulder strain. The veteran big man should continue to be one of Utah's primary options off the bench in the frontcourt. Rotowire.com Today, 2:18 pm
     
  • Isaiah Jackson, T.J. McConnell questionable Thurs.
    Isaiah Jackson (upper respiratory infection) and T.J. McConnell (right hamstring soreness) are questionable for Thursday’s game against the Heat.

    Advice: With Jalen Smith (heel/knee) out for at least one week, Jackson appeared to be on track to take over as Myles Turner’s backup. But he’s also on the injury report, which may be why Oscar Tshiebwe is now traveling with the Pacers to Miami. There’s no need to consider streaming Tshiebwe. As for McConnell, his potential absence would benefit Andrew Nembhard the host. Rotoworld Today, 1:45 pm
     
  • Questionable for Thursday
    Jackson is questionable for Thursday's game against Miami due to an upper respiratory infection.

    Advice: Jackson has played double-digit minutes in five of the Pacers' last six matchups, averaging 5.0 points and 5.6 rebounds in 14.0 minutes per game. It's not yet clear whether he'll be available Thursday due to his illness, but Obi Toppin and Myles Turner could see a few additional minutes if Jackson sits out. Rotowire.com Today, 1:42 pm
