V. Oladipo - SG

IND

Victor Oladipo has decided to sit out of the resumed NBA season.

“As a competitor and teammate this is tearing me apart," Oladipo told The Athletic. "But I truly believe continuing on the course I’m on and getting fully healthy for the 2020-21 season is the right decision for me.” Oladipo had been unsure of his status for Orlando since last month, and his decision to opt out isn't a big surprise. Back in March, Oladipo said he still wasn't 100% from his knee surgery, and all this time off does add additional unknowns on his recovery. Oladipo also has one more year under contract with the Pacers, so focusing on 2020-21 makes sense. With him out, Aaron Holiday, T.J. McConnell and Justin Holiday figure to see some extra minutes.

B. Clarke - PF

MEM

Brandon Clarke will start for the injured Jaren Jackson Jr. (knee) on Wednesday vs. Utah.

JJJ will not play again this season, so Clarke could be fully unleashed. He cruised his way to mid-round value in 9-cat this season in a reserve role, so there's some monster upside here for a player that can do it all on the stat sheet. Kyle Anderson could also emerge as a small winner in JJJ's absence, and it's possible Gorgui Dieng gets a shot at some backup PF/C minutes.

J. Crawford - SG

BKN

Jamal Crawford (hamstring) will not play on Wednesday vs. Boston.

He likely wasn't going to be in the rotation anyways with Caris LeVert and Joe Harris expected back after a planned rest day. Coach Jacque Vaughn indicated that Crawford is day-to-day so he could resurface later on in Orlando when the Nets rest their studs again.

J. Harris - SF

BKN

Joe Harris (back, hamstring) is probable for Wednesday vs. the Celtics.

The Nets gave Harris, Caris LeVert (thigh) and Jarrett Allen (rest) the night off on Tuesday because of Brooklyn's busy schedule but their rotation should return to normal Wednesday. Harris has been on fire for the shorthanded Nets, averaging 20.5 points, 5.5 rebounds, 1.5 dimes and 4.0 triples in two appearances. The return of Harris and LeVert dampens the fantasy appeal of Timothe Luwawu-Cabarrot, Tyler Johnson and Garrett Temple.

C. LeVert - SG

BKN

Caris LeVert (thigh) and Joe Harris (back, hamstring) are probable for Wednesday vs. Boston.

The Nets rested three players on Tuesday on the front end of this back-to-back, and the fact that this is the third game in four days factored in as well. There's no word of any restrictions and both LeVert and Harris should be safe to deploy this evening. LeVert has struggled with his shot in Orlando but is still averaging 25.5 points, 5.0 assists, 4.5 rebounds and 1.0 triples.

D. Howard - C

LAL

Dwight Howard (sore right knee) is listed as questionable for Wednesday vs. the Thunder.

Howard was limited to the non-contact portions of practice on Tuesday so the questionable tag was inevitable. With the Lakers already locking up the No. 1 seed, they will be more cautious than usual. JaVale McGee, who is only averaging 11.8 minutes compared to Howard's 15.6 inside the bubble, could be an interesting dart throw in DFS if Howard sits.

M. Carter-Williams - PG

ORL

Michael Carter-Williams has been diagnosed with a left foot strain and is doubtful for Wednesday vs. Toronto.

The Magic are having some bad luck inside the bubble with MCW joining Jonathan Isaac (knee) on the shelf. MCW is experiencing soreness in his left foot and an MRI on Wednesday morning revealed the tendon strain. He was averaging 20.0 minutes inside the bubble, so look for the workloads of both D.J. Augustin and Markelle Fultz to ramp up since the Magic are no strangers to two-PG lineups.

G. Trent - SG

POR

Gary Trent Jr. hit 5-of-11 shots and 4-of-9 3-pointers for 16 points, two rebounds and one assist in Tuesday's win over the Rockets.

The points and threes were fun but he didn't do much outside of that. But with Trevor Ariza permanently out of the bubble, Trent is going to be leaned on heavily and a couple of his 3-pointers were big tonight. He was overshadowed by Carmelo Anthony's dagger near the end and didn't add much peripherally, but Trent is officially a huge part of what the Blazers are trying to accomplish in Orlando. Which is overtaking the hurting Memphis Grizzlies for the No. 8 seed and they're just 1.5 games back after tonight's win.

J. Nurkic - C

POR

Jusuf Nurkic hit 6-of-15 shots and 6-of-6 free throws on his way to 18 points, 19 rebounds, three assists, a steal and three blocks in Tuesday's exciting win over the Rockets.

He didn't reach the 30-point plateau he hit on Sunday but he's played great in all three bubble games, which were also his first three games of the season. He's averaging 22 points, 12.3 rebounds and 3.3 blocks and the Blazers have won two of their three games. They're now just 1.5 games behind the No. 8 Grizzlies, who found out today that Jaren Jackson Jr. is out for the season. The Blazers are going to be highly motivated to win every remaining game and Nurkic, Damian Lillard and C.J. McCollum should be some of the safest DFS plays on the slate. Lillard flirted with a triple-double with a 21-9-8 line (and three triples) and CJM added a 20-7-5 line with two 3-pointers in the win.

C. Anthony - PF

POR

Carmelo Anthony hit just 5-of-14 shots and two 3-pointers, but one of them was a dagger with under a minute left that gave the Blazers a 107-102 lead over the Rockets and ended up securing the 110-102 win on Tuesday.

Melo added 11 rebounds, two steals and a block, and despite not shooting it well tonight, his rebounds, activity and floor presence were all positives for the Blazers. Melo has hit just 5-of-14 shots in two straight games, but as long as he hits them when they matter, his teammates aren't going to complain.

J. Green - PF

HOU

Jeff Green hit 7-of-15 shots and 5-of-9 3-pointers for a season-high 22 points, six rebounds and one assist in Tuesday's loss to the Blazers.

He played the role of Eric Gordon (ankle) tonight and could be leaned on more heavily going forward. He had scored just nine and 10 points in his previous two games, but got it going tonight and had his best game of the season. He might be a fun sleeper pick in DFS if he can keep it going.

J. Harden - SG

HOU

James Harden hit 7-of-17 shots and three 3-pointers for 23 points, six rebounds and nine assists in Tuesday's 110-102 loss to the Blazers.

The Rockets never really got it going and didn't win any of the four quarters of this game, but were still right there at the end until Carmelo Anthony ended things with a dagger 3-pointer. Jeff Green scored 22 off the bench, Danuel House added 17 points and four triples, and Russell Westbrook hit just 5-of-14 shots for 15 points, nine assists and just one turnover. The Rockets are in a battle with the Jazz and Thunder for the 4, 5 and 6 seeds, but the Rockets are still sitting at No. 4, at least for now.
