Casey Holdahl of the Trail Blazers' official sitereports that Portland Trail Blazers forwardJerami Grant(knee) is unavailable for Wednesday's matchup with the Boston Celtics. Grant will miss his fourth game in a row due to right knee tendinitis. Despite his injury issues this season, Grant has been a valuable contributor, averaging 14.4 points, 3.5 rebounds, and 2.2 assists per game with 36.6% shooting from beyond the 3-point line. With Grant out,Shaedon SharpeandKris Murrayshould continue to receive increased minutes on the floor.


Milwaukee Bucks forward Giannis Antetokounmpo (calf) will play on Wednesday versus Dallas. As usual, the multi-time All-Star appeared on the injury report because of a left calf strain. However, this isn't anything fantasy managers aren't used to at this point of the year. Damian Lillard (eye) and Kyle Kuzma (ankle) are also available. But as far as Antetokounmpo is concerned, he had 29 points, nine assists, nine boards, and two blocks against Dallas on Saturday. Yet, with the Mavs decimated by injuries, he may play even better.

Utah Jazz guard Keyonte George (illness) has been ruled out for Wednesday's contest against the Washington Wizards. He is battling an illness, and the team has downgraded George from questionable to out. The 21-year-old joins a long list of absentees on Wednesday. Isaiah Collier will be Utah's only regular starter available. Johnny Juzang, Brice Sensabaugh, Kenyon Martin Jr., and Kyle Filipowski are all expected to take on more significant roles in the rotation.


Justin Turpin of WEEI.comreports that Boston Celtics guardJrue Holiday(finger) is unavailable for Wednesday's game against the Portland Trail Blazers. Holiday will miss his third game in a row due to a right-finger injury. The Celtics have multiple key players on the injury list, and with Holiday's absence, Payton PritchardandSam Hauserwill likely see increased roles this evening. Pritchard is the better choice fantasy-wise, but both players are worth a look for fantasy managers, with the Celtics significantly depleted right now.

Washington Wizards guard/forward Kyshawn George (jaw) will play against the Utah Jazz on Wednesday. He was initially listed as questionable for the contest due to a jaw contusion. George has been a regular starter for the Wizards since late January, although his performances can be inconsistent. The 21-year-old has made 24 total starts across his rookie campaign, averaging 9.8 points, 5.1 rebounds, 2.8 assists, and 1.1 steals. The matchup between Washington and Utah is projected to be a shootout, which may help George exceed his usual numbers.
