Los Angeles Lakers forward LeBron James (ankle) is expected to be available for Wednesday's meeting with the Memphis Grizzlies. After missing Tuesday's overtime thriller against the Milwaukee Bucks because of left ankle soreness, James is set to return on the second night of LA's back-to-back. Expect the 39-year-old future Hall of Famer to handle his usual workload in a soft matchup with the 24-48 Grizzlies. Across 13 appearances since the All-Star break, James is averaging 27.5 points, 9.3 rebounds, 7.2 dimes, 1.0 steals, and 2.3 three-pointers and could take on even more playmaking duties if Anthony Davis (knee) is ruled out after playing 52 minutes on Tuesday.

Boston Celtics guard Jrue Holiday (shoulder) participated in practice on Wednesday. Holiday has missed Boston's last five games with a shoulder injury, but his activity at Wednesday's session is encouraging for his status for Thursday's game against the Atlanta Hawks. The first-place Celtics will submit their official injury report later on Wednesday, and the two-way veteran guard should be tentatively deemed questionable at worst ahead of time. The sharpshooting Payton Pritchard has enjoyed quite a hot run as a fantasy streamer, averaging 17.7 points, 7.7 dimes, 3.8 rebounds, and 3.2 threes on 45.2% shooting from downtown across his past six showings (two starts), but he would revert to the second unit if Holiday returns. Atlanta carries the third-worst defensive efficiency rating (116.8) in the Association during 2023-24.

Phoenix Suns guard Bradley Beal (finger) is questionable for Wednesday's game against Denver. The veteran star sprained a finger near the end of Monday's 104-102 loss to San Antonio and could be out of action for the first time this month. Eric Gordon and Royce O'Neale should take care of most of Beal's minutes if he can't play, with Grayson Allen in a position to get a few more shots. He was anonymous in back-to-back games against the Spurs but is having an impressive month overall, with 15.8 points averaged on 48.5 percent shooting from three-point range. However, snipers like Allen and Gordon might struggle in a matchup against a team like the Nuggets, who allow the second-fewest three-point makes in the league.

Phoenix Suns center Jusuf Nurkic (ankle) might have to skip Wednesday's battle against Nikola Jokic and the Nuggets. He tweaked his right ankle against the Spurs on Monday and has been listed as questionable on the injury report. Drew Eubanks will be asked to step up in a big way if Nurkic isn't able to go on Wednesday. He will find himself in a really tough matchup but should be able to improve on his season averages in a bigger role. Eubanks has posted 5.3 points and 4.3 rebounds across 15.7 minutes for the campaign.

Minnesota Timberwolves center Rudy Gobert (rib) is questionable for Wednesday's game with the Pistons due to a sprained rib on his left side. The big man has competed in the last two Timberwolves contests, but he missed three consecutive games before with the rib injury. Minnesota's Anthony Edwards (finger) is also questionable. Naz Reid has stepped up his game when Gobert has been sidelined recently, posting 20 points, 12 rebounds, and two blocks against Golden State on Sunday.

Miami Heat forward Jimmy Butler (illness) missed shootaround on Tuesday morning, but he's probable to play versus the Golden State Warriors. Dealing with a non-COVID illness, Butler is still expected to play in a good spot against a Warriors defense giving up the ninth-most DraftKings points to opposing small forwards. Across 13 appearances since the All-Star Break, the 34-year-old two-way superstar is pouring in 21.3 points, 5.5 rebounds, 5.3 assists, 1.7 swipes, and 0.9 three-pointers per contest. With Tyler Herro (foot) still on the shelf, Butler will continue absorbing additional usage and playmaking responsibilities and remains a set-and-forget fantasy option across all formats.

Los Angeles Lakers forward LeBron James (ankle) has been downgraded from doubtful to out for Tuesday's game against the Milwaukee Bucks. Dealing with peroneal tendinopathy in his left ankle virtually all season long, James will sit on the front end of LA's back-to-back and hope to play in Wednesday's meeting with the Memphis Grizzlies for the second outing of a six-game road trip. Cam Reddish and Taurean Prince are candidates to join the Lakers' starting lineup at small forward on Tuesday, with Anthony Davis (Achilles), D'Angelo Russell, and Austin Reaves running the show offensively. Over nine games without James this season, Reaves is averaging 19.1 points, 5.0 assists, 3.9 rebounds, 1.0 steals, and 2.5 three-pointers and gets a favorable matchup against a Bucks team allowing the eighth-most DraftKings points to opposing shooting guards.

Milwaukee Bucks forward Khris Middleton (ankle) is probable for Tuesday's matchup against the Lakers. He's only just returned from a lengthy absence, and the team wants to be careful with Middleton's workload. But Milwaukee had the day off on Monday, and there's no back-to-back in sight, clearing the way for Middleton to play. The three-time All-Star is fresh off his second career triple-double, having picked up 11 points, 10 rebounds, and 10 assists against Oklahoma City on Sunday. Middleton is averaging 18.3 points, 6.3 rebounds, and 7.7 assists in 28.3 minutes since his return.

Milwaukee Bucks forward/center Giannis Antetokounmpo (hamstring) is expected to take the court in Tuesday's mouth-watering matchup against the Lakers. The team has listed him as probable ahead of the tilt. Antetokounmpo has played in two consecutive games since returning from a hamstring injury. He almost had a 30-20 game last time out against the Thunder, so it's safe to assume the former MVP is feeling 100 percent or at least close to it, and we should witness another spectacular performance from him on Tuesday. The Bucks superstar erupted for 34 points, 14 rebounds, and 12 assists in this season's first meeting with the Lakers earlier in the month.

Miami Heat forward/center Kevin Love (heel) is nearing a return and has been listed as questionable for Tuesday's matchup against the Warriors. The veteran has missed 13 games on the bounce with a right heel injury, last appearing for Miami on Feb. 27. Love will likely push Thomas Bryant near the end of the bench again, and Nikola Jovic and Haywood Highsmith might also lose a few minutes. The five-time All-Star doesn't play a lot these days, but Love has been effective when on the court, averaging 9.0 points, 6.2 rebounds, and 2.2 assists in 17.5 minutes.

Los Angeles Clippers point guard Russell Westbrook (hand) is available Monday, three weeks after having hand surgery. The former MVP was recovering from a fractured hand suffered on March 1st in a matchup against Washington. Westbrook has been one of the most productive bench players in the league this season, putting up 11.1 points, 5.1 rebounds, and 4.4 assists. While Westbrook was out, the Clippers posted a 6-6 record. In his return against the Pacers, the 35-year-old shouldn't face any minute restrictions.

Denver Nuggets forward Aaron Gordon (foot) won't play on Monday against Memphis. The veteran had a 22-point, 12-rebound double-double with three blocks in Saturday's win over the Portland Trail Blazers. Unfortunately, he popped up on the injury report late on Monday because of a right Plantar Fascia strain. There hasn't been anything to suggest the injury will keep him out beyond Monday night, meaning he could be back for Wednesday's showdown with the Suns. But as fas as the meeting with Memphis is concerned, Peyton Watson, averaging 11.8 points, 1.5 blocks, and 1.0 steals in four starts this year, should fill the void in the lineup.

Los Angeles Lakers forward/center Anthony Davis (Achilles) is probable for Tuesday's game in Milwaukee. The Achilles issue isn't anything new, and Davis will likely continue to deal with it for the remainder of the 2023-24 campaign, including the playoffs, assuming the Lakers advance. But he's only missed four games this season, with his most recent absence occurring over a month ago. With Los Angeles commencing a six-game road trip, there's a chance the 31-year-old could get a night off during that stretch. However, if LeBron James (ankle), who is doubtful for Tuesday, doesn't suit up, Davis would be a lock for all fantasy lineups.

Los Angeles Lakers forward LeBron James (ankle) is doubtful for Tuesday's game in Milwaukee. The Lakers will begin their six-game road trip. However, the club is expected to be without the multi-time MVP. The ankle injury has bothered him all year, so he could be getting a night off ahead of Wednesday's matchup with the Memphis Grizzlies. Anthony Davis (Achilles), who is probable, should pick up most of the slack on the offensive end if James is officially sidelined on Tuesday. But D'Angelo Russell and Austin Reaves will also warrant extra attention from DFS participants.

Denver Nuggets forward Aaron Gordon (foot) is questionable for Monday's game against the Memphis Grizzlies. Nursing a right plantar fascia strain, Gordon is a late addition to the injury report. With four Denver starters listed as questionable, there could be plenty of vacated usage on Monday. The 28-year-old playmaking forward has been a top-100 player in points leagues across his latest seven appearances, averaging 14.1 points on 55.7% shooting from the floor, 6.9 boards, and 4.4 assists during 32.5 minutes. There likely wouldn't be a clear fantasy beneficiary of Gordon's absence, but Christian Braun and Peyton Watson would be in line for an uptick in playing time at power forward. The 24-47 Grizzlies pose an unimposing matchup for the defending champions, but it's too early to determine at this juncture how the rotation might shape up for the Western Conference-leading Nuggets.

Utah Jazz guard Jordan Clarkson (groin) is available for Monday's game versus the Dallas Mavericks. A strained right groin sat Clarkson down for Utah's previous six matchups, but the 31-year-old microwave scorer will play in an advantageous setup against a Dallas team giving up the fourth-most DraftKings points to opposing shooting guards in 2023-24. This contest's implied total is also set at 238.5 points, the largest on Monday's 11-game slate, so a high-scoring affair could be in store. Clarkson was heating up in his last four games before going down, averaging 23.0 points, 4.3 assists, 3.5 rebounds, 2.0 triples, and 1.5 steals amid this stretch from March 4 to March 12. It wouldn't be surprising if the 29-42 Jazz elected to monitor the veteran's minutes, however, during his first game back in the mix.

Utah Jazz guard Jordan Clarkson (groin) is questionable for Monday's matchup against the Mavericks. He's been out for six games with a groin strain, but it looks like Utah's microwave scorer could be back in the lineup on Monday. The comeback would come at a good time because the Jazz have just lost Kris Dunn to a suspension. Clarkson is the third-leading scorer on the team with 17.4 points and leads the squad with 5.0 assists. He's a high-usage player, meaning there will be fewer shots available to Keyonte George, Collin Sexton, and Lauri Markkanen (quadriceps) if he returns.

Los Angeles Lakers center/forward Anthony Davis (Achilles) has been upgraded to active, as expected, against the Indiana Pacers on Sunday night. The superstar big man was already listed as probable, so the fact that he was upgraded doesn't come as a surprise. The offensive load grew bigger once D'Angelo Russell (illness) was a late scratch, but at least the team gets LeBron James (ankle) who was originally listed as questionable. Davis is a must-start fantasy asset in all formats and all league sizes. He's registered 15 double-doubles in his last 16 games played.

Los Angeles Lakers forward LeBron James (ankle) has officially been upgraded from questionable to active on Monday night and will suit up against the Indiana Pacers. The King will make his sixth consecutive start despite the ankle issue he continues to deal with each night. After D'Angelo Russell got the late scratch from the lineup, James' playmaking and ball-handling will be even more important. This should turn into another big night for James and Anthony Davis as they try to remain in the playoff race and avoid the play-in tournament. James is a must-start candidate in all fantasy formats.

Portland Trail Blazers forward Jerami Grant (hamstring) has been listed as doubtful again for Monday night. He continues to deal with a strained hamstring which has caused him to miss seven games so far. There remains no reason to rush him back to the floor since the Blazers are looking to get another top pick in next year's NBA Draft, so they'll likely err on the side of caution for the rest of the season. The Blazers' rotation hasn't been set in stone for most of the year after a lot of injury issues, but it looks like Kris Murray and Toumani Camara will be the biggest benefactors while Grant misses more time.
