Philadelphia 76ers guard Jalen Hood-Schifino (illness) has been ruled out for Wednesday's meeting with the Washington Wizards. The former first-round pick is forced to exit the lineup due to an illness. Hood-Schifino has made nine appearances with the 76ers since getting picked up in late February, averaging 9.0 points and 2.3 assists in 23.5 minutes. Philadelphia has listed 10 players as out for Wednesday's contest, so the likes of Jared Butler, Justin Edwards, and Ricky Council IV will continue to play prominent roles in the rotation.


Los Angeles Lakers forward LeBron James (groin) is available for Wednesday's clash with the Pacers. The multi-time All-Star missed seven games because of a groin injury. However, he's played in the Lakers' last two games. Although it may take James another game or two to return to form, he's still a must-start in any fantasy format. On the other hand, DFS managers may want to consider other options, considering his rostering cost.


Los Angeles Clippers guard James Harden (foot) will play in Wednesday's contest against the New York Knicks. The former MVP injured his right foot on Sunday against the Oklahoma City Thunder, but he has shaken off a questionable tag. Harden has been close to averaging a double-double in March, notching 26.2 points and 9.5 assists per game. He will continue to lead the offense against a Knicks team that is weakened in the backcourt due to injuries to Jalen Brunson (ankle) and Miles McBride (groin).


Los Angeles Lakers forward Rui Hachimura (knee) will play and start on Wednesday against Indiana. The veteran was on the shelf for an extended period because of a knee injury. Fortunately, he's been available for Los Angeles' previous two contests. However, Hachimura has struggled since returning, combing for just 10 points during that span. He's also been limited to fewer than 24 minutes. While a crack at the starting lineup should increase Hachimura's chances of added production, the minutes cap still makes him a risky fantasy option on Wednesday night.


Philadelphia 76ers guard/forward Quentin Grimes (rest) will be back on the floor Wednesday against the Washington Wizards. Philadelphia rested Grimes on Monday against the New Orleans Pelicans. Grimes has had a spectacular few weeks with the 76ers, averaging 28.0 points, 4.9 rebounds, 5.2 assists, and 2.1 steals in March. His run of good form this month includes a couple of 40-point efforts. Scoring should be easy for Grimes again on Wednesday against a Wizards team that gives up a league-high 120.5 points per game.
