The Boston Celtics have announced a clean injury report for Thursday's showdown with the Miami Heat, meaning center Kristaps Porzingis (knee) will be available to play. After fully practicing on Wednesday, Porzingis will return on Thursday from a one-game absence during Monday's road win over the Dallas Mavericks due to inflammation in his right knee. The 28-year-old All-Star returns to second-round fantasy figures in 12-team nine-category leagues, putting up 19.5 points on 52.5% field-goal shooting, 6.8 rebounds, 1.8 three-pointers, and 1.9 blocks per game for the Celtics this season. Following a 31-minute spot start on Monday, veteran Al Horford will revert to Boston's second unit on Thursday.

Golden State Warriors guard Brandin Podziemski (illness) is available to play on Wednesday against the Atlanta Hawks. Under the weather with a general illness, Podziemski will give it a go on Wednesday versus the Hawks for the start of Golden State's four-game homestand. The versatile 20-year-old first-round rookie has flashed at times in Year 1, providing 9.2 points, 5.5 rebounds, 3.3 assists, and 1.3 triples per game, but his fantasy appeal is capped by Draymond Green's recent return from suspension. Podziemski is worth holding in points leagues, however, until Chris Paul (hand) gets back on the floor.

Houston Rockets head coach Ime Udoka says guard Jalen Green (illness) is available to play on Wednesday versus the Portland Trail Blazers. There was optimism Green would be able to suit up after participating in Wednesday morning's shootaround despite dealing with a non-COVID illness, and he is ready to roll for game action. The 2021 No. 2 overall pick ranks outside the top 200 in category leagues but is at least supplying value around the top 100 in points formats on averages of 17.4 points, 4.6 rebounds, 3.2 assists, and 2.0 treys over 42 games in his third season for the Rockets. Green hopes this plum matchup against a 12-31 Blazers squad can spark a hot streak, but a 219.5-point implied total is the eight-game slate's second-lowest figure.

Miami Heat forward Jaime Jaquez Jr. (groin) has been downgraded from questionable to out for Wednesday's game versus the Memphis Grizzlies. Jaquez will record his fifth consecutive absence on Wednesday due to a strained left groin. The impressive 22-year-old rookie's next opportunity to return comes during Thursday's contest against the Boston Celtics for the second part of Miami's back-to-back. The Heat have lost three out of their past four matchups without Jaquez. With Duncan Robinson and Josh Richardson trending down, Caleb Martin has tallied double figures in scoring in three straight outings and is worth considering in deeper fantasy leagues.

Miami Heat guard Terry Rozier has been cleared to make his team debut on Wednesday versus the Memphis Grizzlies. The Heat swung a trade for Rozier with the Charlotte Hornets on Tuesday to improve their slow-paced, lackluster offense, and the newcomer will be available to play on Wednesday. It's fair to expect Rozier to immediately step into Miami's starting lineup alongside Tyler Herro in the backcourt, but it could take some time for him to get acclimated to his new surroundings. There's some risk in DFS, with Wednesday's tilt sporting the lowest implied point total (213.5) on the slate, but Rozier belongs in all season-long lineups while yielding early-round fantasy numbers on averages of 23.2 points, 6.6 assists, 2.8 three-pointers, and 1.1 steals during 35.5 minutes across 30 games.
