Charlotte Hornets center Mark Williams (conditioning) is available ahead of Wednesday's game against the Los Angeles Lakers. Williams will make his return to the court after missing the final four games before the All-Star break. It was unclear how the Hornets planned to use Williams in their rotation after the trade with the Lakers fell through. Despite that, Williams will get the start on Wednesday. He's expected to have Jusuf Nurkic as his primary backup, which is bad news for anyone who is rostering Moussa Diabate. Fantasy managers who have Williams rostered can go ahead and get him active on Wednesday.

Chicago Bulls guard Lonzo Ball (illness) is not on the injury report ahead of Thursday's game against the New York Knicks. Ball appears to be ready to return to action after missing the final four games ahead of the All-Star break. The assumption is that Ball will have his full workload ahead of this game. The 27-year-old is averaging 7.2 points, 3.4 rebounds, and 3.5 assists in 21 minutes per game this season. His return to the court will likely mean decreased roles for Kevin Huerter and Tre Jones in the rotation.

Charlotte Hornets guard LaMelo Ball (ankle) is available ahead of Wednesday's game against the Los Angeles Lakers. As expected, Ball is back in action after missing the final game before the All-Star break. He's not expected to have any limitations which means Elfrid Payton is going to see a reduced role. Payton made a spot-start for Ball during the final game before the break. The assumption is that Payton is going to come off the bench as the primary backup to Ball. Fantasy managers can go ahead and get Ball in their lineups ahead of tip-off.

Los Angeles Clippers center Drew Eubanks (ankle) is available ahead of Thursday's game against the Milwaukee Bucks. Eubanks has been cleared to play after missing the final two games before the All-Star break. It remains unclear what kind of role Eubanks is going to have in the rotation once he's back to being fully healthy. He figures to play a minimal role behind Ivica Zubac at the center spot. That being said, Eubanks is unlikely to see enough minutes to warrant rostering in most fantasy formats.

Los Angeles Clippers forward Amir Coffey (knee) is available ahead of Thursday's game against the Milwaukee Bucks. Coffey will return to the mix after sitting out the final game before the All-Star break. Before that, Coffey had scored 14 points or more in each of his last three games ahead of the final game before the break. His fantasy value figures to take a dip going forward with Ben Simmons likely seeing an increased role in the rotation. Coffey isn't someone who should be rostered in most fantasy formats right now.

Los Angeles Clippers forward Kawhi Leonard (knee) is available ahead of Thursday's game against the Utah Jazz. Leonard missed the final game before the All-Star break due to knee injury maintenance. Before that, Leonard had played 31 minutes or more in each of the last three games leading up to that contest. It's worth noting that the final game before the All-Star break was the second game of a back-to-back set, which is likely why Leonard sat out. He figures to play his normal role on Thursday, so fantasy managers should feel confident putting Leonard back into their lineups.

Phoenix Suns guard Devin Booker (back) has been removed from the injury report ahead of Thursday's game against the San Antonio Spurs. The superstar guard missed the final game before the All-Star break due to a back issue. Fantasy managers shouldn't be too worried about it as the Suns likely rested him knowing it was the last game before the break. Booker appears to be fine now and ready to resume his role in the starting five. Booker has been excellent this season and is a must-start in all fantasy formats.

Los Angeles Lakers forward LeBron James (ankle) is officially available ahead of Wednesday's game against the Charlotte Hornets. The future Hall-of-Famer was questionable coming into this game after sitting out of the All-Star game due to foot and ankle issues. James has been a regular on the injury report this season, but he normally suits up on most nights. He'll once again be out there for Wednesday's game and figures to play his normal role. That being said, Rui Hachimura won't receive a fantasy boost and figures to play his normal role in the rotation as well. Fantasy managers can feel safe getting James back into their lineups on Wednesday.

Phoenix Suns guard Bradley Beal (toe) has been removed from the injury report ahead of Thursday's game against the San Antonio Spurs. The superstar guard is ready to get back in action after missing the final four games before the All-Star break. It doesn't sound like Beal is going to be limited at all, so fantasy managers should expect him to have his normal workload. Beal is averaging 17.4 points, 3.4 rebounds, and 3.4 assists in 32 minutes per game this season. The Suns have three games this week, so fantasy managers should feel safe plugging Beal back into their lineups.

Phoenix Suns guard Grayson Allen (knee) has been cleared to suit up ahead of Thursday's game against the San Antonio Spurs. Allen missed two of the last three games before the All-Star break due to injury, but he appears to be fine now. Fellow guard Bradley Beal (toe) appears to be ready to play again, so Allen figures to return to his normal role in the rotation. Allen has been inconsistent as a fantasy option this season, but that is also due to the fact his playing time has been up and down. He's worth rostering in deep leagues, but might not have value in all formats.

Cleveland Cavaliers guard/forward Isaac Okoro (shoulder) is listed as questionable for Thursday's game against the Brooklyn Nets. The 24-year-old has sat out 14 games due to a right shoulder injury but could be back in action on Thursday night. Okoro also dealt with the same injury earlier in the campaign, which has limited him to 28 appearances in 2024-25. Fantasy managers have never received much production from Okoro, but he will be a welcome addition to the rotation as the season enters its final months.

Cleveland Cavaliers forward Dean Wade (knee) will remain sidelined on Thursday against the Brooklyn Nets. He has been ruled out for an 11th consecutive game due to a bone bruise in his right knee. Wade is having a career year in Cleveland, averaging 6.0 points and 5.1 rebounds in 22.8 minutes, but the addition of De'Andre Hunter complicates his situation. Wade's next opportunity to return will be on Friday against the New York Knicks.

Cleveland Cavaliers guard Ty Jerome (calf) may have to sit out a second consecutive game on Thursday against the Brooklyn Nets, as the team lists him as questionable for the matchup. Jerome made 14 straight appearances before dropping out of the lineup due to a right calf strain. Craig Porter Jr. saw extra action with Jerome sidelined against the Toronto Raptors last Wednesday, although he also benefited from a blowout situation. Porter Jr. notched seven points, four rebounds, five assists, and two steals in 21 minutes during a 131-108 Cavaliers victory.

Chicago Bulls forward Patrick Williams (quadriceps) will not suit up for Thursday's matchup against the New York Knicks. He has been ruled out due to soreness in his right quadriceps. Williams' absence creates additional playing opportunities for Matas Buzelis and Julian Phillips. The former has already gained momentum recently with a move to the starting unit. Buzelis has averaged 14.8 points and 2.7 rebounds in 26.7 minutes this month, shooting a hugely impressive 60.3 percent from the field.

New York Knicks center Mitchell Robinson (ankle) went through a full practice on Wednesday. The team has ruled Robinson out for Thursday's matchup against the Chicago Bulls, but the fact that he is back on the court as a full participant in practice suggests that his comeback is close. ESPN's Shams Charania recently reported that the Knicks and Robinson are targeting March 1 as his return date. Robinson has yet to play this season due to ankle surgery. With Karl-Anthony Towns now in Knicks colors, Robinson may have limited fantasy value upon his return, but he will be a good addition to the rotation.

New York Knicks forward OG Anunoby (foot) is on the injury report as questionable for Thursday's contest against the Chicago Bulls. Anunoby has been sidelined for five games with a right foot sprain, but he practiced fully on Wednesday, and it looks like there's a good chance Anunoby will be ready to return against Chicago. Since moving to New York, Anunoby has been somewhat of a talisman for the Knicks, who hold a 52-20 record with him in the lineup. During Anunoby's absence, Precious Achiuwa has stepped in as a starter and might keep his place in the first unit on Thursday, as Josh Hart (knee) will come out of the lineup.

Denver Nuggets forward Michael Porter Jr. (hamstring) is expected to play on Thursday against Charlotte. The 26-year-old missed the Nuggets' last three games heading into the All-Star break. But it appears the time off was all that was needed, with Porter in line to play his first game since February 6. With Russell Westbrook (hamstring), Jamal Murray (knee), and Aaron Gordon (calf) all expected to play, Julian Strawther or Christian Braun could see more work if Porter can't suit up. However, if he's out there, he's worthy of a spot in all fantasy lineups.

New York Knicks guard/forward Josh Hart (knee) will not be in the lineup on Thursday against the Chicago Bulls. Hart has been on the injury report with a knee issue for a while, and the team has ruled him out for Thursday's action due to right patellofemoral syndrome. OG Anunoby (foot) is on the cusp of returning to the lineup and may take Hart's spot in the starting unit on Thursday. Miles McBride (ribs) is another option, as he has been cleared to play after suffering a rib contusion before the All-Star break.

New York Knicks guard Miles McBride (ribs) will be active on Thursday against the Chicago Bulls. McBride suffered a rib contusion against the Atlanta Hawks before the All-Star break but is not listed on the injury report ahead of Thursday's action. The 24-year-old has had a fairly quiet campaign, averaging 9.0 points and 2.6 assists in 23.2 minutes, but he may make more noise on Thursday due to Josh Hart's (knee) absence. It's a great fantasy matchup for the Knicks players, as the Bulls like to push the tempo but have a leaky defense.

Orlando Magic guard Jalen Suggs (quadriceps) still isn't ready to make his return to the lineup on Thursday versus the Atlanta Hawks. On Tuesday, Magic head coach Jamahl Mosley noted that Suggs is able to run in practice but hasn't worked on any contact drills. Suggs has missed 19 of the last 20 games due to issues with his back and left quadriceps. On Thursday, Cole Anthony and Anthony Black will continue to take on additional responsibilities. Both players performed well in the most recent game, combining for 31 points and 10 assists in a 102-86 victory over the Charlotte Hornets.
