Philadelphia 76ers guard De'Anthony Melton (back) will be re-evaluated in two weeks. The 25-year-old has averaged a career-high 11.5 points this season. But considering the nature of his injury, there's a chance he may not play again during the 2023-24 campaign. Additionally, the 76ers' roster looks slightly different, so Melton could have a tough time being as productive as he was before he went down with the injury. With this in mind, fantasy managers can drop him from their rosters.

Houston Rockets forward/center Jabari Smith Jr. (illness) will play on Wednesday against the Clippers. The talented Auburn product has been battling an illness and initially landed on the injury report with a questionable tag, but he has been upgraded to available. However, how effective Smith Jr. can be remains to be seen. He already struggled to perform in Tuesday's matchup against San Antonio, recording only two points and three rebounds in 25 minutes. Wednesday's matchup is also a tough one for Smith Jr. and the Rockets, as the Clippers have developed into a very good defensive team.

Brooklyn Nets guard Cam Thomas (ankle, foot) won't play on Thursday against Detroit. Thomas has had a career-year, averaging 20.9 points. Unfortunately for fantasy managers, the 22-year-old has missed 14 games. With no end in sight, he could remain off the floor for Brooklyn's upcoming games versus Charlotte and Cleveland. Cameron Johnson (ankle) also won't suit up on Thursday night, meaning Dorian Finney-Smith and Lonnie Walker IV could be on the floor more than usual, making both men viable fantasy streaming options.

Minnesota Timberwolves center Karl-Anthony Towns (knee) has been ruled out for Thursday's game against Indiana. The four-time All-Star misses a dream fantasy matchup with left knee soreness. Minnesota starts a back-to-back on Thursday, so it's possible the team is simply resting Towns. With him out, Naz Reid will become a popular man in all fantasy formats, while Kyle Anderson could also get a bit of extra burn. The game should be full of big fantasy lines, with Vegas having set the total at 229.5 points.

Brooklyn Nets center Day'Ron Sharpe (wrist) is questionable for Thursday's contest against the Detroit Pistons. The 22-year-old has had the best season of his career, averaging 7.3 points and 6.7 rebounds. But he's also missed plenty of time this season. His most recent ailment, a sprained wrist, occurred on Monday versus Memphis. As a result, he wasn't in the lineup on Tuesday in the win over Philadelphia. With Ben Simmons (back) also out, Nicolas Claxton could see more minutes than usual, which is never a bad thing for fantasy purposes. Sharpe's potential absence might open the door for Jalen Wilson to see more action. Unfortunately, Wilson hasn't done enough to earn a spot in nearly all fantasy lineups.
