Orlando Magic forward Franz Wagner (calf) is questionable to play in Sunday's matchup with the Miami Heat. The 22-year-old is averaging a career-high 20.9 points, 5.9 rebounds, and 3.9 assists this season. However, he strained his calf in a meeting with the Sacramento Kings on January 3, so the team has been without their second-leading scorer for a few weeks. Of course, there's a chance Wagner could log fewer minutes than usual in his first game back. But his limited workload could be enough to lessen the production of Paolo Banchero, Jalen Suggs, and others.


Denver Nuggets forward Aaron Gordon (shoulder) is anticipated to suit up for Sunday's game versus the Washington Wizards. The veteran has been on and off the injury report this season, so his probable designation shouldn't be enough to cause fantasy managers to panic. However, with the Nuggets expected to take a decisive lead against the seven-win Wizards at some point during the contest, Gordon, assuming he's active, along with Nikola Jokic, Jamal Murray, and Michael Porter Jr., could spend more time on the bench, which isn't ideal for fantasy purposes.

Portland Trail Blazers guard Scoot Henderson (nose) is considered questionable ahead of Sunday's game against the Los Angeles Lakers. The rookie guard suffered a nose contusion during the second quarter of Friday's game. It doesn't sound like something that is going to sideline Henderson in the long term. His absence would mean increased playing time and usage for Malcolm Brogdon. Fantasy managers will have to check back on Sunday for another update.


Portland Trail Blazers guard Anfernee Simons (illness) is listed as questionable ahead of Sunday's game against the Los Angeles Lakers. Simons sat out of Friday's game due to an illness, and it appears he's not over it yet. Matisse Thybulle started in his place on Friday and that will likely be the case once again, assuming Simons sits out on Sunday. His absence would also boost the fantasy value of Malcolm Brogdon. Fantasy managers will have to check back on Sunday for another update.


Indiana Pacers guard Andrew Nembhard (back) is considered questionable ahead of Sunday's game against the Phoenix Suns. Nembhard has missed each of the last two games due to a spine sprain. His status normally isn't overly important, but starting guard Tyrese Haliburton (hamstring) is questionable as well for this game. That being said, T.J. McConnell could be asked to play a big role if both players sit out. Otherwise, Nembhard could have some streaming appeal if Haliburton is unable to go.
