Philadelphia 76ers guard Tyrese Maxey (illness) is available ahead of Wednesday's game against the Golden State Warriors. Maxey was considered questionable earlier in the day due to an illness. Luckily, Maxey was able to get through his pregame routine without any issues and was cleared to suit up. Maxey will be asked to take on a bigger role on offense with Joel Embiid (knee) sidelined. Fantasy managers should make sure that Maxey is in their lineups ahead of this game.


Golden State Warriors forward Andrew Wiggins (ankle) is available ahead of Wednesday's game against the Philadelphia 76ers. Wiggins will make his return to the court after missing one game due to a left ankle sprain. Brandin Podziemski figures to take a hit in fantasy value with Wiggins back in the picture. Although, Podziemski has seen an increased role recently which means he might still be worth holding in certain fantasy formats.


Atlanta Hawks guard Dejounte Murray (back) has been ruled out ahead of Wednesday's game against the Boston Celtics. The star guard is listed as questionable earlier in the day due to back tightness. The Hawks have ultimately decided to hold him out of the contest. Fantasy managers shouldn't expect this to be a long-term issue. Bogdan Bogdanovic figures to move into the starting five with Murray sidelined. A move into starting unit should give Bogdanovic a solid boost for Wednesday's game.


The Atlanta Hawks are listing forward De'Andre Hunter (knee) as available for Wednesday's tilt against the Boston Celtics. The Hawks have upgraded Hunter's probable designation to available as they continue to monitor his right knee, which cost the forward over a month of action before returning on Jan. 30. Boston has allowed the fewest fantasy points to opposing forwards in 2023-24, so between the intimidating matchup and Hunter's likely minutes cap, he's a fade for fantasy purposes in all settings on Wednesday despite popping for 27 points in 19 minutes amid Monday's offensive slugfest with the Los Angeles Clippers. When the restrictions are lifted, the 26-year-old scoring wing should be a borderline play in points leagues, averaging 14.7 points, 4.0 rebounds, and 1.9 three-pointers on 40.5% shooting from downtown in 28.8 minutes through 27 games on the campaign for Atlanta.


Philadelphia 76ers guard De'Anthony Melton (back) won't play in Wednesday's contest versus the Golden State Warriors. After expressing optimism last Friday that he could return in Monday's loss to the Dallas Mavericks, Melton's return from a lumbar spine stress response will have to wait until Friday's matchup with the Atlanta Hawks at the earliest. In Melton's 13th straight absence on Wednesday, expect Kelly Oubre Jr. to maintain his spot in Philly's starting lineup in an unimposing matchup against a Warriors team giving up 118.8 points per game (22nd in the NBA) this season. Hitting the 15-point mark in each of his latest six games, Oubre is also averaging 5.2 rebounds, 1.0 treys, and 1.6 combined steals and blocks while shooting 82.8% from the charity stripe since Jan. 27.
