Washington Wizards guard Malcolm Brogdon (ankle) has been ruled out of Wednesday's game against the Utah Jazz. This will his seventh straight game he's missed thanks to a sprained left ankle. Brogdon has dealt with injuries all season long and has only been able to suit up in 24 games this season for Washington. In his absence expect Khris Middleton to continue in the starting lineup. Middleton has averaged 12.0 PPG and 4.2 APG as a Wizard. Against a weak Utah defense Middleton may provide some solid fantasy and DFS value to those looking to take a longer shot on him.

Dallas Mavericks guard/forwardDante Exum(foot) won't play against the Milwaukee Bucks on Wednesday. The severity of the injury is unclear, but Exum is dealing with a right foot contusion. Exum's next chance to suit up comes on Friday against the Grizzlies. If the 29-year-old is able to return soon, he will be in line to see plenty of extra minutes on the floor with Kyrie Irving(knee) now sidelined for the remainder of the 2024-25 campaign.

Miami Heat guard Tyler Herro (illness) won't play on Wednesday against Cleveland. He missed shootaround on Wednesday afternoon because of a head cold and was downgraded to questionable for this contest. But Herro won't be out there, so his next chance to suit up will be on Friday against the visiting Timberwolves. Andrew Wiggins (ankle), Jaime Jaquez Jr. (ankle), and Kel'el Ware (knee) are also out, so fantasy managers could see an increase in production from Davion Mitchell (quadriceps), who will play, Duncan Robinson, Bam Adebayo, and Terry Rozier. Pelle Larsson, amassing 16 points on Monday versus Washington, could also remain involved.

Dallas Mavericks guard/forwardCaleb Martin (hip) is doubtful for Wednesday's matchup with the Milwaukee Bucks. Martin was recalled from the G League's Texas Legends on Tuesday after practicing with the team. The 29-year-old has been out of action since January 10th due to a right hip strain. If Martin doesn't play against the Bucks, his next chance to suit up is Friday against the Grizzlies. Martin has yet to debut for the Mavericks since being acquired via trade.

Los Angeles Clippers forward Norman Powell (hamstring) will be re-evaluated in 10 days after suffering a right hamstring strain. The 31-year-old has had a fantastic season, averaging a career-high 23.8 points with 3.5 rebounds, and 1.3 steals while shooting 42.4% from behind the arc. Unfortunately, the latest update means he'll miss at least six games, although it's possible he could be out longer. With Powell sidelined, Bogdan Bogdanovic, who is coming off a 13-point, four-rebound showing in Tuesday's loss to the Suns, should remain in the starting lineup, with Amir Coffey potentially earning more minutes.
