Denver Nuggets center Nikola Jokic (ankle) will play against the Memphis Grizzlies on Wednesday night. The Nuggets superstar is dealing with an ankle sprain, but the team has upgraded his status from probable to available. Jokic can crush any opposition, but Wednesday's matchup looks particularly juicy for him, as the Grizzlies lack size. The three-time MVP is aiming for his fourth straight triple-double, a feat Jokic hasn't accomplished since the opening games of the season.

Utah Jazz forward Lauri Markkanen will play limited minutes on Wednesday against the Sacramento Kings, Andy Larsen of The Salt Lake Tribune reports. "The plan for him is to play tonight on some restricted minutes, and then we'll see how he's feeling after the game, and we'll address tomorrow," Jazz head coach Will Hardy told reporters. Utah finishes a back-to-back on Thursday against Portland. Markkanen hasn't actually logged his normal minutes for a while, sitting out fourth quarters. He hasn't played more than 27 minutes in any of his last four appearances. Despite a lighter workload, Markkanen has still made an impact, averaging 22.3 points and 5.8 rebounds over the last four games.

Houston Rockets guard/forward Tari Eason (lower leg) has been upgraded from questionable to available for Wednesday's game against the Clippers, marking his first appearance in both legs of a back-to-back set this season. Eason has averaged 13.6 points, 6.8 rebounds, 2.6 three-pointers, and 1.2 steals in 31.3 minutes over his last five games, though he managed just six points on 20 percent shooting Tuesday. He remains a serviceable category contributor, especially in steals and threes. His availability keeps Jabari Smith Jr. and Amen Thompson in stable roles while limiting deep-league minutes for Josh Okogie.

Houston Rockets forward/center Alperen Sengun (lower leg) has been upgraded to available for Wednesday's game against the Clippers after initially being listed as probable. He will play the second leg of a back-to-back after logging 35 minutes with 22 points, seven rebounds, and five assists in Tuesday's 102-95 win. Sengun has averaged 19.6 points, 10.6 rebounds, 5.8 assists, 1.0 steals, and 1.0 blocks in 33.1 minutes over his last five games. He remains a locked-in fantasy anchor, while Clint Capela stays in a limited reserve role behind him.

Phoenix Suns guard Devin Booker (ankle) will miss Wednesday's meeting with the Oklahoma City Thunder. The team has ruled him out for the game after initially listing him as questionable. Booker played 32 minutes in Tuesday's win over Dallas and will rest his right ankle on Wednesday night. Jalen Green (hamstring) will also depart the lineup, which should result in additional minutes for Collin Gillespie and Jordan Goodwin. Booker's absence also opens up additional scoring opportunities for his teammates.

Phoenix Suns guard Jalen Green (hamstring) won't play in the second leg of a back-to-back on Wednesday against the Oklahoma City Thunder. He will exit the lineup after a 12-point, four-assist effort across 20 minutes in Tuesday's win over Dallas. Devin Booker (ankle) also won't be in action against the defending champions, making Collin Gillespie and Jordan Goodwin more appealing fantasy options. With the number of backcourt absences, we are also likely to see Jamaree Bouyea in the rotation on Wednesday.

Miami Heat forward Andrew Wiggins (toe) won't suit up on Wednesday against the New Orleans Pelicans, Anthony Chiang of the Miami Herald reports. The team initially listed Wiggins as questionable for the contest due to toe inflammation. Wiggins joins Tyler Herro (ribs), Pelle Larsson (forearm), and Norman Powell (back) on the sidelines. This will give Jaime Jaquez Jr., Simone Fontecchio, Nikola Jovic, Kasparas Jakucionis, and Dru Smith more opportunities to showcase their talent. Jaquez Jr. has the most fantasy upside, but he has struggled recently, scoring just 13 points across the last two games.

New York Knicks center Mitchell Robinson (ankle) will be in action on Wednesday against the Philadelphia 76ers. The big man was rested for the first leg of a back-to-back on Tuesday versus Indiana, but is ready to provide cover to Karl-Anthony Towns at the No. 5 spot against Philadelphia. Robinson has posted 4.8 points and 6.8 rebounds in 20.5 minutes per game this month. New York's bigs will contend with a Sixers frontcourt missing Joel Embiid (knee), which should make their job easier on Wednesday night.

Minnesota Timberwolves guard Anthony Edwards (illness) has been upgraded from questionable to available for Wednesday's game against Portland. Edwards has been on a tear, averaging 31.4 points, 6.0 rebounds, 4.0 assists, 1.6 steals, and 2.8 three-pointers in 37.6 minutes over his last five games. He posted 30 points, six rebounds, and six assists in 38 minutes in his most recent outing. With a 32.2 percent usage rate, Edwards remains a locked-in fantasy anchor. His availability keeps secondary options like Ayo Dosunmu and Naz Reid in complementary roles.

New York Knicks forward OG Anunoby (toe) is day-to-day entering the All-Star break, according to coach Mike Brown, after missing four straight games with a right toe issue and sitting out Wednesday against Philadelphia. The veteran wing's designation suggests he could return Feb. 19 versus Detroit. In his absence, Landry Shamet has started the last two games, posting 17 points with four three-pointers in 38 minutes against Indiana but just three points in 28 minutes versus Boston. Shamet is a volatile streamer, while Josh Hart and Mikal Bridges continue to see stable workloads and usage.

Indiana Pacers forward Jarace Walker (illness) and forward/center Micah Potter (ankle) will be active against the Brooklyn Nets on Wednesday. Both players were listed as questionable on the initial injury report. Indiana will wrap up a back-to-back on Wednesday and won't have any of its big guns in the lineup, giving players like Walker and Potter an excellent opportunity to have larger roles. Potter looks set to make a second consecutive start, while Walker may join him in the first unit. Overall, the Pacers will have only nine players available for this game.

Chicago Bulls forward Isaac Okoro (knee) won't play against the Boston Celtics on Wednesday. Okoro was added to the team's injury report due to a sore left knee. His next chance to get back in action is after the All-Star break on Feb. 19 against the Raptors. Patrick Williams and Leonard Miller could be in line to see extended minutes with Okoro out of action this evening.

Chicago Bulls forward/center Jalen Smith (calf) won't play against Boston on Wednesday. Smith will miss his third consecutive contest due to a calf injury. Before his absence, he averaged 13.2 points and 8.4 rebounds in 25.9 minutes per game over his last 11 outings (eight starts). Once he returns, the 25-year-old could see an expanded role, particularly with Nikola Vucevic no longer in the picture. Without Smith, Guershon Yabusele, Matas Buzelis, Nick Richards, and Patrick Williams will continue to anchor the frontcourt.

Houston Rockets forward Dorian Finney-Smith (ankle) is ruled out ahead of Wednesday's game against the Los Angeles Clippers. As expected, Finney-Smith will sit out the second game of the back-to-back set. The Rockets have been cautious with Finney-Smith while he deals with a lingering ankle issue. His absence could mean an increased role for Josh Okogie, with Tari Eason (ankle) considered questionable for this game. Okogie could offer some low-end streaming appeal if Eason is unable to play.

Chicago Bulls point guard Tre Jones (hamstring) won't play on Wednesday against the Boston Celtics. The 26-year-old will miss his 11th straight game due to a strained left hamstring. His next chance to return will be after the All-Star breakon Feb. 19 against Toronto. Josh Giddey (hamstring) will also remain sidelined, so Anfernee Simons and Jaden Ivey will likely continue to start in the backcourt. There will also be plenty of minutes available off the bench for Collin Sexton and Rob Dillingham.

Brooklyn Nets center Nicolas Claxton (hip) has been ruled out for Wednesday's matchup with the Indiana Pacers. Due to a sore right hip, he will be unavailable for only the third time this season. Claxton missed a pair of games in early January, and Day'Ron Sharpe stepped in for him as the starting center. Sharpe will likely return to the first unit on Wednesday, having averaged 12.0 points, 7.3 rebounds, 4.0 assists, and 2.3 steals in his previous starts this season.

Toronto Raptors center Jakob Poeltl (back) is available ahead of Wednesday's game against the Detroit Pistons. Poeltl will get back on the court for the first time since December 21. Poeltl has been out multiple weeks due to a lower back strain, but will return to the mix during the final game before the All-Star break. The Raptors are expected to have Poeltl on a minutes limit during his first game back on the court. His return should mean reduced roles for Sandro Mamukelashvili and Trayce Jackson-Davis in the rotation. Poeltl won't be an ideal DFS option given his expected minutes limit, but fantasy managers in season-long formats can get him active.

Milwaukee Bucks guard Ryan Rollins (foot) will miss the first game of a back-to-back on Wednesday against the Orlando Magic. He was a late addition to the injury report due to right foot plantar fasciitis. Rollins' absence could give Cam Thomas a chance to start, while Gary Harris is another option. At the same time, there will be more shots available to Kevin Porter Jr., Kyle Kuzma, and AJ Green.

Milwaukee Bucks forward Pete Nance (ankle) will play on Wednesday against the Orlando Magic. He has shed a questionable tag and is set to provide frontcourt cover off the bench. Nance has enjoyed a good six-game stretch, averaging 10.2 points and 3.7 rebounds in 18.7 minutes. Opposing benches shoot a league-high 48.4 percent against Orlando, giving an excellent opportunity for Nance to build on his recent momentum.

Philadelphia 76ers forward Dominick Barlow (illness) will be active against the New York Knicks on Wednesday. He is back in the mix after missing one game due to illness. Barlow will likely reclaim his starting spot from Trendon Watford. Despite being a starter for most of the campaign, Barlow hasn't provided much help to fantasy squads. He has averaged 8.9 points and 5.2 rebounds in a starting role.
