Sam Hauser Off The Injury Report

Boston Celtics forward Sam Hauser (shoulder) isn't listed on the injury report ahead of Wednesday's matchup versus the Minnesota Timberwolves. The 26-year-old didn't play on Monday against the Indiana Pacers because of an impingement in his right shoulder. However, it only cost him a game, so his absence was likely more for precautionary measures. Hauser is a vital component in the C's rotation this season. But he's averaging only 8.5 points and 3.6 rebounds, meaning his availability won't mean much for fantasy managers, especially with Jayson Tatum (ankle) also removed from the injury report.

Jrue Holiday Questionable For Wednesday Night

Boston Celtics guard Jrue Holiday (elbow) is questionable ahead of Wednesday's game versus the Timberwolves. The 33-year-old veteran continues to deal with a right elbow sprain, an injury that's bothered him for weeks. However, he's played through the ailment, recently accruing 21 points, six rebounds, six assists, and one steal in Monday's loss to the Indiana Pacers. Of course, his statistical output was higher than usual in that one, considering Jayson Tatum (ankle) wasn't in the lineup. At any rate, Holiday remains a must-start for fantasy managers despite his decrease in production throughout the 2023-24 campaign. But if he doesn't suit up, Sam Hauser (shoulder), who isn't listed on the league's official injury report, and Payton Pritchard could see more minutes. Yet, with Tatum, Jaylen Brown, Derrick White, and potentially Kristaps Porzingis (knee) on the floor, it's tough for anyone else to get involved.

Marcus Smart Injures Finger Against The Mavs

Memphis Grizzlies guard Marcus Smart (finger) exited Tuesday's win over the Dallas Mavericks. He didn't return. Ja Morant (shoulder) is done for the remainder of the 2023-24 campaign, and Jaren Jackson Jr. (knee) wasn't available, so Smart was expected to be a top producer for the Grizzlies on Tuesday night. He met expectations, amassing 23 points, shooting 9-for-16 from the field and 4-for-8 from deep. Unfortunately, Smart's evening ended after 21 minutes of work because of a right finger injury. Nonetheless, Memphis will have two days off before meeting the Clippers on Friday night, and depending on the severity of the injury, the 29-year-old could be out there. However, if he isn't, Desmond Bane, scoring a team-high 32 points versus the Mavs, would be a popular DFS option. Additionally, guys like Luke Kennard and Ziaire Williams, to name a few, could get more involved offensively.

Jose Alvarado Tagged As Questionable For Wednesday

New Orleans Pelicans guard Jose Alvarado (illness) is currently listed as questionable for Wednesday's game against the Golden State Warriors. Alvarado sat out on Sunday because of the issue, but hopefully he's feeling better now. His return would mean that Dyson Daniels would see a reduced role in the rotation. He wasn't an ideal streaming option anyway, but he won't have much value at all if Alvarado is cleared to play.

Zion Williamson Is Listed As Questionable For Wednesday

New Orleans Pelicans forward Zion Williamson (leg) is currently listed as questionable for Wednesday's game against the Golden State Warriors. The star forward was unable to play on Sunday due to a right leg contusion. The hope is that he'll return here, which would shift Trey Murphy III back to the bench. It's uncertain if the team plans to limit Williamson, assuming he plays. Murphy should still be able to have value off the bench, but it would take a hit if Williamson is able to play.
