  • Alex Caruso SF | OKC

    Thunder's Alex Caruso: Doubtful for Wednesday

    Caruso is doubtful for Wednesday's game against the Pistons with a left ankle sprain.

    Caruso was a candidate to rest anyway for the second leg of this back-to-back set, and his ankle issue pretty much guarantees that he'll be held out. Aaron Wiggins, Isaiah Joe and Kenrich Williams could see more opportunities with Caruso expected to sit.

  • Chet Holmgren PF | OKC

    Thunder's Chet Holmgren: Doubtful for Wednesday

    Holmgren (back spasms) is doubtful for Wednesday's game against the Pistons.

    Wednesday's game is the second leg of a back-to-back set, so this has all the makings of a maintenance day. Isaiah Hartenstein (rest) is also out, meaning the Thunder could rely heavily on Jaylin Williams.

  • Ayo Dosunmu SG | MIN

    Timberwolves' Ayo Dosunmu: Poor showing in win

    Dosunmu recorded seven points (3-7 FG, 0-2 3Pt, 1-2 FT), one rebound and two assists over 24 minutes during Tuesday's 124-121 win over the Trail Blazers.

    This was a quiet game by Dosunmu's standards, but fantasy managers can chalk it up as an off night. Since joining Minnesota, Dosunmu has averaged 12.2 points, 3.0 assists, 2.0 rebounds, 1.0 steals and 1.6 three-pointers in five appearances.

  • Gabe Vincent PG | ATL

    Hawks' Gabe Vincent: Posts modest line in 22 minutes

    Vincent finished with 11 points (4-10 FG, 2-8 3Pt, 1-1 FT), two rebounds, one assist and one block over 22 minutes during Tuesday's 119-98 win over the Wizards.

    Vincent has not been a consistent part of the rotation since landing in Atlanta, and that's unlikely to change while the team is healthy. Through three games with the Hawks, Vincent has averaged 5.3 points and 2.7 assists per contest, but he could see a boost if Jalen Johnson (hip) misses extended time.

  • Anthony Black SG | ORL

    Magic's Anthony Black: Solid on defensive end

    Black posted eight points (4-13 FG, 0-2 3Pt, 0-4 FT), four rebounds, four assists, two blocks and three steals in 30 minutes during Tuesday's 110-109 victory over the Lakers.

    While Black couldn't find his rhythm from the field, he made up for it with a strong showing on the defensive end. He's in the midst of a slump, however, as he's averaging 9.7 points on 35.3 percent shooting over his last three games with Jalen Suggs (back) sidelined for all of those.

  • Hawks' Nickeil Alexander-Walker: Scores 16 points with two steals

    Alexander-Walker provided 16 points (4-10 FG, 3-7 3Pt, 5-5 FT), three rebounds, five assists and two steals across 25 minutes during Tuesday's 119-98 win over the Wizards.

    Alexander-Walker has been struggling with his shot a bit over the past two games, going 8-for-22 from the floor, but he's been perfect at the line over that two-game stretch. The seven-year swingman has, at times, struggled with efficiency this season, but the counting stats have been solid.

  • Magic's Tristan da Silva: Strong line in win

    Da Silva recorded 13 points (5-9 FG, 3-5 3Pt), six rebounds, three assists and two steals in 32 minutes during Tuesday's 110-109 win over the Lakers.

    Da Silva continues to see heavy minutes for Orlando in the absence of Jalen Suggs (back). Over his last three games, da Silva has averaged 10.3 points, 5.7 rebounds, 2.7 assists, 1.0 steals, 1.0 blocks and 2.3 three-pointers in 33.0 minutes per contest. Suggs remains day-to-day for the Magic, however.

  • Jay Huff C | IND

    Pacers' Jay Huff: Doesn't do much in loss

    Huff recorded four points (2-7 FG, 0-4 3Pt), four rebounds, four assists, one block and one steal over 25 minutes during Tuesday's 135-114 loss to the 76ers.

    Huff struggled matching up against Joel Embiid, missing all four of his three-point attempts, but he was able to chip in some defensive stats. Huff will look to get things back on track Thursday with a more favorable matchup against the Hornets.

  • Jakob Poeltl C | TOR

    Raptors' Jakob Poeltl: Available to play

    Poeltl (back) is available for Wednesday's game against the Spurs.

    Poeltl was held out for the front end of this back-to-back set for injury maintenance. With Poeltl back in the lineup, Collin Murray-Boyles will likely shift to the bench unless Scottie Barnes (quadriceps) is unable to play.

  • Jalen Suggs PG | ORL

    Magic's Jalen Suggs: Listed as questionable

    Suggs (back) is listed as questionable for Thursday's game against the Rockets.

    Suggs, who has missed the past three games for Orlando, remains day-to-day with his back issue. If he continues to miss time, Anthony Black and Tristan da Silva are likely to absorb more minutes for the Magic.
