Wade was ruled out late due to an illness that will keep him out of action for the first time since February 20. While the 28-year-old is out of the mix, Sam Merrill, Javonte Green and Isaac Okoro will likely be in line to receive extra minutes coming off the bench this evening.

According to Zack Cox of the Boston Herald, Boston Celtics guardJrue Holiday(shoulder) won't play in Wednesday's meeting with the Miami Heat. He continues to have trouble with his right shoulder and could take the night off after playing in four consecutive contests. Holiday on the shelf will boost the fantasy stock ofPayton Pritchard. Pritchard's production has risen to 16.4 points, 4.8 rebounds, and 4.3 assists in games without Holiday this season, even as he has continued to come off the bench during these outings.

According to Zack Cox of the Boston Herald, Boston Celtics forward/centerAl Horford(toe) won't play against the Miami Heat on Wednesday.

Boston's frontcourt will also be withoutKristaps Porzingis(illness), leavingLuke Kornet,Neemias Queta, andXavier TillmanSr. as the only options at center. Kornet has more fantasy appeal as he finished 15 points, 16 rebounds, and four assists in Saturday's victory over the San Antonio Spurs.

The 31-year-old veteran is averaging 14.3 points, 3.9 rebounds, 5.6 assists, and 1.6 steals per game across 57 outings this season.
