Boston Celtics guard/forward Jaylen Brown (knee) is good to go for Wednesday's clash against the Oklahoma City Thunder. A knee problem initially left Brown with a probable tag entering Wednesday, but the team has upgraded his status to available. Since the All-Star break, Brown has boosted his scoring output to 25.3 points per game, although his three-point efficiency has dropped to 30.2 percent. On Wednesday, scoring won't be easy for Brown and his gang, as the Thunder boast the league's best defensive rating.


According to Amanda Pflugrad of 3TV, Phoenix Suns guardGrayson Allen(foot) will be unavailable for Wednesday's game against the Houston Rockets. Allen will be out of action due to left foot soreness. His next chance to return to the Suns rotation is on Friday against the Kings. Royce O'Neale and Tyus Jones will likely see extra minutes with Allen out. Jones is a solid streaming option for this evening as he finished with 12 points, three rebounds, seven assists and one steal during 29 minutes during Monday's 120-118 loss to Memphis.

Toronto Raptors small forward Jamison Battle (nose) will be active on Wednesday against the Philadelphia 76ers. The 23-year-old rookie is recovering from a broken nose and was initially regarded as questionable for Wednesday's game. With several Raptors players out of the lineup on Wednesday, Battle could end up playing a significant role in the contest. He recently impressed with a three-game streak of double-digit scoring.


Toronto Raptors guard/forward Ochai Agbaji (ankle) has been ruled out for Wednesday's game against the Philadelphia 76ers. The team has updated Agbaji's status from doubtful to out as the 24-year-old continues to be sidelined due to a left ankle sprain. Agbaji's next opportunity to play will be on Friday against the Utah Jazz. The Raptors are going to be extremely shorthanded for Wednesday's contest, making the likes of Jamal Shead, A.J. Lawson, and Jared Rhoden viable fantasy options.


Milwaukee Bucks point guard Damian Lillard (groin) is considered probable for Thursday's game against the Los Angeles Lakers. He is managing a groin issue, but Lillard has made nine consecutive appearances and is expected to remain in the lineup on Thursday. Lillard was off form last time out against the Indiana Pacers, shooting only 4-for-14 from the field to finish with 15 points. He will attempt to bounce back against a Lakers that will be without LeBron James (groin) and may also play on Thursday without Luka Doncic (ankle), who is considered questionable for the game.
