Houston Rockets guard Fred VanVleet (ankle) is listed as probable ahead of Wednesday's game against the Phoenix Suns. VanVleet was able to practice in full on Tuesday, which is a great step forward in his recovery process The 31-year-old guard has missed 15 of the last 16 games due to a lingering ankle issue. It sounds like the issue is finally behind him considering VanVleet is listed as probable on the injury report. The expectation is that VanVleet is going to be under a minutes limit during his first game back. That being said, VanVleet would probably be fine for season-long formats, but avoidable in DFS contests. His return to the court will likely mean decreased roles for Aaron Holiday and Cam Whitmore.

Boston Celtics forward Jaylen Brown (knee) is expected to play on Wednesday versus OKC. Unlike Jayson Tatum (knee) and Kristaps Porzingis (illness), who are both questionable, Brown is probable, so fantasy managers will likely see him on the floor. He is coming off a stellar showing, amassing 26 points, eight boards, seven assists, three steals, and one block in Monday's win over Utah. If Tatum and Porzingis aren't available, Brown should remain the primary scoring option for the C's against a Thunder team that has allowed only 106.9 points per game during the 2024-25 campaign, the second-best mark in the NBA.

Boston Celtics center Kristaps Porzingis (illness) is questionable for Wednesday's meeting with the Thunder. The 29-year-old has averaged 18.9 points, 6.8 rebounds, and 1.6 blocks this season, all down from the 2023-24 campaign. He's also appeared in only 32 games, most recently missing the last six games because of an illness. If Porzingis is available, he's a must-start in all fantasy formats against arguably the best team in the NBA. But if he can't suit up, Al Horford, averaging 9.5 points, 6.3 rebounds, and 37.6% shooting from deep in 34 starts this season, will likely handle things in the middle. Horford could be even more productive if Jayson Tatum (knee) can't play after missing Monday's win over Utah because of a knee injury.

Toronto Raptors guard Immanuel Quickley (rest) will not play in Wednesday's contest against the Philadelphia 76ers. Toronto will start a stretch of three games in four nights, and the team will rest Quickley against the 76ers. With him out, Jamal Shead will likely start at point guard. When Quickley sat out against the Washington Wizards last week, Shead nearly had a double-double in a starting role with 11 points and nine assists. There's no RJ Barrett (personal) on Wednesday, and Scottie Barnes (hand) might also miss the game, creating more offensive opportunities for Shead and the rest of the team.

Toronto Raptors guard/forward RJ Barrett (personal) has been ruled out for Wednesday's game against the Philadelphia 76ers. He will miss his second game of the month for personal reasons. Barrett is among seven Raptors players who have been ruled out for the contest, and the list could potentially grow before tip-off. A.J. Lawson exploded for a career-high 32 points on Monday against the Washington Wizards and might be a key offensive cog again Wednesday night. The likes of Jamal Shead and Jared Rhoden are also set to be more involved in the rotation.
