Portland Trail Blazers center Duop Reath (back) is listed as questionable for Wednesday's encounter with the Mavericks. The 27-year-old has sat out three games with a lower back issue. However, it looks like there's a good chance he returns on Wednesday, as Reath has previously carried a doubtful tag. Reath isn't a household name, but he had a 25-point outing against Sacramento in his last outing, and the 27-year-old rookie averaged 10.3 points with 4.3 rebounds across December. He's currently in a prime position to perform, with Deandre Ayton (knee) absent from the team. It's also worth noting that meetings with Dallas tend to be fruitful for centers, as only seven teams are allowing more points per 48 minutes to opposing ones. The Mavericks are also giving up the fifth-most rebounds to the position.

Portland Trail Blazers forward Toumani Camara (knee) is questionable for Wednesday's matchup against the Mavericks. The 23-year-old rookie is dealing with right knee soreness and could be forced to take a seat for a second consecutive game. Camara missed his first action of the season Monday versus the Suns. He was forced to exit the lineup after just posting his first career double-double against San Antonio with 13 points and 11 rebounds, adding three steals to his line. The second-round pick has been a regular starter for the Blazers, averaging 7.7 points, 4.9 rebounds, and 1.1 steals in the role. Matisse Thybulle started in Camara's absence on Monday and had a great game defensively, with two steals and two blocks. However, fantasy managers have to remember that he's very limited in other areas, and Thybulle might not be a great pick-up for Wednesday's action.

Houston Rockets guard/forward Dillon Brooks (oblique) will sit out a fourth consecutive game on Wednesday versus Brooklyn. Brooks doesn't have a clear timetable for his return, but Rockets head coach Ime Udoka has said that the defensive pest isn't dealing with a long-term issue. Jae'Sean Tate has joined the starters in Brooks' absence. Following a couple of below-par performances, Tate hit his stride with a 16-point effort across 26 minutes last time out against Detroit, and a meeting with another defensively-challenged team appears to be a solid spot for him to turn in a good performance.

Houston Rockets forward Tari Eason (leg) remains on the injury report as questionable ahead of Wednesday's home game against the Nets. He's carried the tag around with him for a few games now, but Eason has featured in five straight contests. The 22-year-old is dealing with soreness in his left lower leg. Jae'Sean Tate and Jeff Green are the primary options to cover Eason's minutes if he doesn't suit up on Wednesday. Tate is the better fantasy option of the two, and he's already gained a bit of momentum by replacing Dillon Brooks (oblique) in the starting unit.

Washington Wizards forward Danilo Gallinari (back) is considered questionable for Wednesday's matchup against Cleveland. The veteran is having trouble with a lower back spasm. This season has been a comeback campaign for Gallinari after he missed the entire 2022-23 with a knee injury. He's averaged 14.8 minutes for the rebuilding Wizards, recording 7.0 points and 2.9 rebounds. He's already been unavailable for two games, which has allowed Mike Muscala to log meaningful minutes. He's done well in the outings, but Muscala definitely isn't somebody fantasy managers should rush to grab.
