Wiseman isn't in the starting five for Wednesday's game versus the Timberwolves.

Jalen Duren will replace Wiseman in the starting five Wednesday after missing time with a back injury. Wiseman is averaging 7.2 points, 7.4 rebounds, 1.4 assists and 1.0 blocks in 18.2 minutes across his last five appearances coming off the bench.

Hayes will move into the starting lineup for Wednesday's game against the Grizzlies with Anthony Davis (knee) unavailable, Mike Trudell of Spectrum SportsNet reports.

Hayes was limited by foul trouble in his previous start this season and finished with just five points, five rebounds, two assists, one steal and one turnover to his credit over 20 minutes. However, he'll draw an extremely favorable matchup against a Memphis team featuring a bevy of players on two-way contracts and 10-day deals, so he could still be worth a dice roll in fantasy hoops.

Gobert (ribs) is available for Wednesday's game versus the Pistons.

Gobert has been upgraded from questionable to available Wednesday despite dealing with a sprained left rib. The defensive stalwart is averaging 11.8 points, 13.6 rebounds, 2.0 blocks, 1.6 assists and 1.0 steals in 36.8 minutes across his last five appearances.

Landale is not in the starting lineup to face the Thunder on Wednesday.

Landale was in the starting lineup Monday against the Trail Blazers, posting 17 points (6-6 FG, 2-2 3Pt, 3-3 FT), nine rebounds, two assists and one block across 32 minutes. However, the veteran big man will move back to his regular bench role with Jabari Smith returning from a one-game suspension.

Davis (knee) won't play in Wednesday's game versus the Grizzlies, Dave McMenamin of ESPN.com reports.

Davis has been downgraded from questionable to out on the second leg of Los Angeles' back-to-back Wednesday due to a left knee injury. Jaxson Hayes will likely replace him in the starting five. Davis' next chance to suit up is Friday's matchup with Indiana.

Robinson (ankle) is available for Wednesday's game against Toronto, Steve Popper of Newsday reports.

As expected, Robinson has gotten the green light to suit up for the first time since Dec. 8. Given the lengthy layoff, it's safe to presume he'll be limited off the bench for at least his first few games back. Robinson started the first 21 games for the Knicks this season and averaged 6.2 points, 10.3 rebounds, 1.5 steals and 1.3 blocks in 29.1 minutes during that stretch.

Jackson-Davis is in the starting lineup for Wednesday's game versus the Magic.

Jackson-Davis will replace Jonathan Kuminga (knee) in the starting five Wednesday. Jackson-Davis is averaging 12.8 points, 7.2 rebounds, 1.8 blocks and 1.4 assists in 25.8 minutes across his last five starts.

Clarke (Achilles) is available for Wednesday's game against the Lakers, Damichael Cole of The Memphis Commercial Appeal reports.

Clarke is nearly 13 months removed from tearing his Achilles and has officially gotten the green light to suit up for the first time this season. He figures to be monitored closely and will likely handle a small role off the bench. Last season, Clarke averaged 10.0 points, 5.5 rebounds and 1.3 steals-plus-blocks in 19.5 minutes per game across 56 appearances (eight starts).

Ayton (elbow) won't play in Wednesday's game versus the Hawks, Kevin Chouinard of the Hawks' official site reports.

Ayton's absence streak will extend to four games Wednesday after being downgraded from questionable to out due to left elbow tendinitis. Ayton's next chance to suit up is Friday's matchup with Miami.

Coach Nick Nurse said Wednesday that Embiid (knee) has a "very good" chance of playing before the end of the regular season, Tim Bontemps of ESPN.com reports.

Embiid hasn't played since Jan. 30 after undergoing left knee surgery. While the superstar center continues to work out on the court and is hopeful to play before the playoffs, there is no concrete timetable for his return. Mo Bamba and Paul Reed should continue to receive increased playing time in Embiid's absence.
