Gasol, who will celebrate his 41st birthday next month, is joined by his brother, Marc, and current NBA players Ricky Rubio, Juan Hernangomez, and Willy Hernangomez, as well as Sergio Rodriguez, Alex Abrines, Sergio Llull and Rudy Fernandez.

Green had three points in eight minutes before a shoulder injury knocked him out for the rest of the game in the first half Wednesday against the Pacers. The 24-year-old small forward will likely be replaced by DaQuan Jeffries in the second half. It’s unclear how severe the injury is or if it will impact Green’s availability going forward.

The Nuggets will play Wednesday without all five starters and key reserve Peyton Watson. Westbrook is one of the few rotation players who will be available, and he’s worth streaming everywhere, even with a likely high-turnover night on the way.

Watson joins Denver’s starting five in being ruled out after Tuesday’s double overtime thriller against the Timberwolves. With the Nuggets short on options, Vlatko Cancar and PJ Hall figure to be apart of the rotation.

The Mavericks have made two changes to their starting lineup for Wednesday’s game. Marshall is starting for PJ Washington, who is unavailable due to illness. The other change is Lively, who will start his first game back from a stress fracture in his ankle. While limited to 15 minutes, he will replace Daniel Gafford in the starting five.

Initially questionable for Wednesday’s game, Watson is not expected to be available. With Denver’s starting five already ruled out, the Nuggets will be short on available options. Vlatko Cancar and PJ Hall should enter the rotation after picking up DNP-CDs in Tuesday’s double-overtime loss to the Timberwolves.

Sexton and Kessler are back after missing Monday’s loss to the Hornets. Due to their returns, the Jazz have moved Johnny Juzang and KJ Martin to the bench. While both players should continue to log rotation minutes, there isn’t much to gain from rostering Juzang or Martin in most leagues.

The Rockets are without Fred VanVleet, who will not play due to a sore right ankle. Eason replaces him in the lineup, and this also shifts Thompson into the point guard role. The lineup change raises Thompson and Eason’s fantasy ceilings.

Kuminga did not play in Tuesday’s win over the Grizzlies, freeing up additional minutes for Gui Santos and Buddy Hield. However, neither player did enough to impact fantasy basketball in expanded roles. Neither Santos nor Hield is worth adding, especially with the Warriors’ starting lineup at full strength.

All five of the Nuggets’ starters, including Braun, will sit out Wednesday’s game. Fantasy managers should expect to see plenty of Russell Westbrook, who should be motivated to redeem himself after a poor ending to Tuesday’s double overtime loss to the Timberwolves.

Less than 24 hours after losing a double-overtime thriller to the Timberwolves, Denver will play Wednesday’s game without its entire starting five. Porter and Gordon’s absences free up minutes for Peyton Watson (if he can play) and Hunter Tyson. Watson is a game-time decision due to an inflamed right knee. If cleared, Watson would be the preferred streamer, but Tyson is also worth the risk.
