Dallas Mavericks center Dereck Lively II (ankle) is off the injury report and ready to play on Wednesday against the Sacramento Kings. A bad ankle injury cost Lively II a significant portion of the season, and he still needs to manage it, which caused the young big man to sit out Sunday's regular-season finale against the Memphis Grizzlies. Since returning to the lineup, Lively II has averaged 16.0 minutes across four games, posting 5.5 points and 4.8 rebounds. He has not contributed much, but Lively II's role in Wednesday's contest could be very important, as Dallas needs to match Domantas Sabonis and Jonas Valanciunas inside the paint.

Dallas Mavericks forward P.J. Washington (ankle) has been cleared to play and is not on the injury report ahead of Wednesday's play-in game against the Sacramento Kings. The 26-year-old has faced health issues throughout the second half of the season and sat out Sunday's matchup against the Memphis Grizzlies to manage an ankle sprain. Washington went off for 28 points in his lone regular-season appearance against the Kings and enters the Play-In Tournament in fine form. He is shooting 42.9 percent from deep this month, averaging 12.3 points and 7.0 rebounds.

Dallas Mavericks guard/forward Klay Thompson (foot) is not on the injury report for Wednesday's play-in contest against the Sacramento Kings. The veteran sharpshooter missed Sunday's regular-season finale against the Memphis Grizzlies with a foot sprain. This was only his third absence since the beginning of February, so Thompson has enjoyed a healthy spell, which is a big plus for the Mavericks. Thompson averaged 14.0 points per game during his first year in Texas. However, his recent output has been inconsistent, as Thompson has finished three of his last five appearances with single-digit points. The Kings limited Thompson to 11.0 points during the regular season, despite his red-hot 46.2 percent shooting from downtown.

Miami Heat forward Andrew Wiggins (hamstring) is expected to be in the lineup on Wednesday against the Chicago Bulls, as the team has removed his name from the injury report. The 2022 NBA champion has been dealing with a hamstring issue late in the season, playing only twice this month. He was not in the lineup on Sunday against the Washington Wizards. Since returning to action, Wiggins has been limited to 24.5 minutes per game. However, he has still been productive, averaging 12.0 points with 5.5 rebounds, 4.0 assists, and 1.5 steals.

Miami Heat guard Tyler Herro (rest) has been removed from the injury report and is good to go for Wednesday's contest against the Chicago Bulls in the Play-In Tournament. Miami rested Herro on Sunday as the team wrapped up its regular season schedule with a loss to the Washington Wizards. Herro has been a headache for the Bulls all year and must deliver another big performance for the Heat to keep their playoff hopes alive. In three regular-season meetings with Chicago, Herro averaged 24.7 points, 6.7 rebounds, and 6.3 assists.
