    Warriors' Quinten Post: Available off bench Wednesday

    Post (Achilles) is listed as available but will come off the bench in Wednesday's game against the Spurs, Anthony Slater of ESPN.com reports.

    The second-year big man will shed his probable tag due to an Achilles issue Wednesday, though Draymond Green will start at center. Over five outings off the bench this season, Post has averaged 5.0 points and 2.4 rebounds in 11.8 minutes per contest.

  • Warriors' Jonathan Kuminga: Available to play

    Kuminga (knee) will be available for Wednesday's game in San Antonio.

    Warriors' head coach Steve Kerr stated during Wednesday's pregame media availability that he was planning to adjust his rotations following Tuesday's blowout loss to the Thunder, and he acknowledged that he's considered sending Kuminga to the second unit. It'll be interesting to see what Kuminga's minutes look like Wednesday, but his minutes have been trending in the wrong direction for several games.

  • Pelicans' Zion Williamson: Cleared for contact

    Williamson (hamstring) has been cleared for contact and he was able to get through some 1-on-1 work at Wednesday's shootaround, Will Guillory of The Athletic reports.

    Williamson remains without an official timetable for his return, but being cleared for contact and ramping up to individual work are big steps in his recovery. We'll know he's close once he's cleared for 5-on-5 drills, but until that happens, we can assume he's week-to-week.

  • Grizzlies' Vince Williams: Starting sans Morant

    Williams will start Wednesday's game against the Celtics.

    With Ja Morant (ankle) sidelined, Williams will draw his first start of the season. Over his last five appearances, the 25-year-old swingman has averaged 6.2 points, 4.8 rebounds and 2.4 assists while shooting 40.0 percent from beyond the arc in 16.8 minutes per contest.

  • Josh Minott SF | BOS

    Celtics' Josh Minott: Headed to bench

    Minott will come off the bench for Wednesday's game against the Grizzlies, Justin Turpin of WEEI.com reports.

    Minott had been trending down the past three games, and he bottomed out Tuesday, logging a season-low eight minutes. It'll be interesting to see what his minutes look like in the reserve role Wednesday evening, but he's no longer a must-roster player in 12-team formats.

  • Jordan Walsh SF | BOS

    Celtics' Jordan Walsh: Starting Wednesday

    Walsh will start Wednesday's matchup against the Grizzlies, Justin Turpin of WEEI.com reports.

    The 21-year-old forward will join the starting five for the first time this season, pushing Josh Minott to the bench. Over his last five games, Walsh has averaged 6.6 points, 6.0 rebounds, 1.4 assists and 1.4 steals across 23.4 minutes per contest.

  • Wizards' Bilal Coulibaly: No timetable for return

    Coulibaly (calf) is progressing, but a timetable for return hasn't been offered Varun Shankar of The Washington Post reports.

    Coulibaly has missed four straight games due to a bruised left calf. The second-year forward did limited work during Wednesday morning's shootaround. The Wizards' next game isn't until Sunday, but it's uncertain if he'll be available for the contest. Cam Whitmore and Corey Kispert have enjoyed increased roles while Coulibaly has been sidelined.

  • Dean Wade PF | CLE

    Cavaliers' Dean Wade: Starting Wednesday

    Wade will start Wednesday against the Heat.

    Wade should see a decent amount of opportunity Wednesday with Darius Garland (toe), Donovan Mitchell (rest) and Evan Mobley (rest) all unavailable. If you need some points and triples, Wade makes sense as a streamer target.

  • Sam Merrill SG | CLE

    Cavaliers' Sam Merrill: Starting vs. Miami

    Merrill will start Wednesday's game against the Heat.

    With Donovan Mitchell (rest) sidelined, Merrill will get the starting nod at shooting guard. Over four starts this season, the sharpshooter has averaged 17.3 points, 2.0 rebounds and 2.0 assists while shooting 51.4 percent from three-point range in 25.5 minutes per contest.

  • Mavericks' Dereck Lively: Out again

    Lively (knee) won't play in Wednesday's game against the Suns, Grant Afseth of DallasHoopsJournal.com reports.

    Lively earned a questionable tag for Wednesday's contest -- his first since going down with a knee sprain nine games ago. However, he isn't ready to return. Daniel Gafford, Moussa Cisse and Dwight Powell should handle most of the center work Wednesday. Lively's next chance to play will come Friday against LAC.
