Philadelphia 76ers forward Tobias Harris (ankle), who is listed as questionable to play on Wednesday against the Phoenix Suns with a sprained right ankle, was seen at the morning shootaround. After missing Philly's past two matchups, Harris appears poised to return on Wednesday. His status could still come down to a game-time decision based on pregame warmups, though. While the 31-year-old star forward has struggled to shoot the ball since coming back from the All-Star break, he's still managing top-75 worth in nine-category leagues on averages of 14.8 points, 7.0 rebounds, 2.3 assists, 1.3 three-pointers, and 2.0 combined steals and blocks through this 12-game span. Harris' return would likely supplant Nicolas Batum from the Sixers' starting lineup, but it's a difficult assignment against a Suns club allowing the seventh-fewest DraftKings points per game to opposing power forwards.
Philadelphia 76ers forward Tobias Harris (ankle) is considered questionable to play against the Suns on Wednesday. He's in danger of missing a third consecutive game with a right ankle sprain. Nicolas Batum should log another start if Harris can't return. The French veteran has posted 5.7 points, 4.3 rebounds, and 2.3 assists as a member of the first unit this season. He could do a bit more damage offensively against Phoenix, as the matchup is projected to be one of the highest-scoring games on Wednesday's slate.
Detroit Pistons forward/center Isaiah Stewart (hamstring) is unavailable versus the Indiana Pacers on Wednesday. He was injured during Monday's loss to the Celtics. The 22-year-old has averaged 11.1 points and 6.7 rebounds this season. However, he's missed time throughout the 2023-24 season due to several injuries. With Stewart not suiting up, veteran Evan Fournier could see more time on the court. Taj Gibson (hamstring) may also get an opportunity, but he is currently listed as questionable due to left hamstring soreness.
Detroit Pistons forward Simone Fontecchio (toe) is questionable for Wednesday's matchup with the Indiana Pacers. He could miss his second game in a row with a toe contusion. The Italian forward had been playing well, averaging 15.7 points in 31.9 minutes so far in March before getting hurt. He's benefited from Ausar Thompson's (medical illness) being unavailable. If Fontecchio doesn't suit up, Stanley Umude will most likely be in the starting five.
Detroit Pistons forward/center Isaiah Stewart (hamstring) was injured during Monday's loss to Boston. As a result, he exited the contest and was ruled out shortly after. Head coach Monty Williams reported Stewart tweaked his hamstring. However, Williams indicated there wouldn't be an update on his condition until the team got home. The 22-year-old has averaged 11.1 points and 6.7 rebounds this season. But he's missed time throughout the 2023-24 campaign because of various injuries, and it appears he could sit out more games moving forward. That said, fantasy managers may not see Stewart on the floor on Wednesday versus the Pacers. If so, Evan Fournier or even Taj Gibson could see extra work.
