New York Knicks guard/forward Josh Hart (knee) is in danger of missing his first game of the season Wednesday against Houston. He's listed on the injury report as questionable with left patellar tendinopathy. Hart is New York's biggest contributor off the bench, and his absence would open up a large chunk of minutes. Quentin Grimes could rise into relevance again without Hart, while Miles McBride might also pick up some of the minutes.

New York Knicks point guard Jalen Brunson (calf) is questionable for Wednesday's action against Houston. He suffered a left calf contusion last week and has been out for two games. It's not a serious issue, and Brunson even went through the warmups ahead of Monday's matchup against Orlando before sitting out the contest, so it looks like there's a strong chance he returns on Wednesday. Miles McBride has produced a pair of strong performances as Brunson's fill-in in the starting unit, but he's set to land back on the bench, which will rob him of most of his fantasy value.

Houston Rockets forward Reggie Bullock (back) is considered questionable for Wednesday's matchup against the Knicks. The veteran is suffering from lower back pain. Bullock hasn't had a consistent role on the team all season and shouldn't be a big miss for Houston. He's averaged less than 10 minutes of action across 17 games in 2023-24.

Detroit Pistons guard/forward Bojan Bogdanovic (calf) is on track to return to the court Wednesday versus Minnesota. The team has listed him as probable for the game. Bogdanovic has been unavailable for two games while nursing left calf soreness. The Croatian veteran is once again among Detroit's top scorers in 2023-24, averaging 19.8 points per game. His return is set to push Kevin Knox II back to the bench.

Indiana Pacers guard Tyrese Haliburton (hamstring) is questionable ahead of Tuesday's matchup with the Denver Nuggets. The 23-year-old was sidelined for five games before returning for Friday's loss to the Portland Trail Blazers. He played well in that one, ending the night with 21 points and 17 assists. But he wasn't available for Sunday's meeting with the Phoenix Suns. However, head coach Rick Carlisle indicated Haliburton was out for injury management, easing concerns throughout the fantasy basketball community. That said, barring a setback, Haliburton will suit up versus the defending champs. But if he can't, Pascal Siakam and Myles Turner would presumably remain the primary offensive options. At the same time, players like Buddy Hield, T.J. McConnell, Obi Toppin, and Andrew Nembhard, among others, could see more scoring opportunities.
