Portland Trail Blazers guard Malcolm Brogdon (groin) is available ahead of Wednesday's game against the Brooklyn Nets. The veteran guard was uncertain coming into this game due to groin soreness. His presence is a welcoming sight for the Blazers as Brogdon has played a significant role lately with the team shorthanded. He's expected to come off the bench, but Brogdon should still be able to make a solid impact, so fantasy managers can get Brogdon into their lineups safely now.


Portland Trail Blazers guard Anfernee Simons (illness) is available ahead of Wednesday's game against the Brooklyn Nets. This is good news after Simons was a late addition to the injury report due to an illness. Luckily, it was a minor issue and Simons should resume his normal role in the rotation. Simons has played a big part of this team lately and is likely to continue being the primary scoring option. That being said, fantasy managers should make sure to get Simons in their lineups for Wednesday's game.



Los Angeles Lakers forward LeBron James (ankle) and center Anthony Davis (ankle) are both available for Wednesday's game against the Dallas Mavericks. Both players were uncertain coming into this game, but that seems to be normal these days. As usual, James and Davis will both be active for this game despite the injury tags. The expectation is that they will have their normal roles in the rotation, so fantasy managers can feel comfortable with them in their lineups.


Dallas Mavericks forward Josh Green (illness) has been ruled out ahead of Wednesday's game against the Los Angeles Lakers. Green came into this game as questionable, but the team will ultimately hold him out while Green is batting an illness. His absence means that Tim Hardaway Jr. remains in the starting five. He has been playing extremely well with the starting unit, so fantasy managers should keep Hardaway in their lineups for Wednesday's slate. Derrick Jones Jr. should see more minutes as well, but he's not as appealing of a fantasy option.


Dallas Mavericks guard Luka Doncic (ankle) is available ahead of Wednesday's game against the Los Angeles Lakers. The superstar guard will make his return to the court after missing each of the last three games. There is no word on Doncic being limited, so the assumption is that he'll have his normal workload. The return of Doncic will send Tim Hardaway Jr. to the bench. His fantasy value will take a hit with the move to the second unit, but fantasy managers should hold Hardaway for the moment.
