Beauchamp should be good to go for this game, but he isn’t a large part of the team’s rotation. His status doesn’t have an impact on fantasy basketball.

Dick missed Monday’s game against Detroit, which allowed Davion Mitchell to return to the starting lineup. He should be in line for another start, but with Scottie Barnes healthy, Mitchell doesn’t offer the same streaming upside that he once did.

Suggs was left off the injury report ahead of their game on Monday but was added just before tipoff. While there is a chance that happens again, it seems more likely that Suggs will be back in the lineup. Gary Harris started in his place, but he has already been ruled out for this game with a hamstring injury of his own.

Following 12 straight absences, Carter Jr. will make his triumphant return to the lineup on Wednesday. He should return to the starting unit, which would bump Goga Bitadze back to the bench. All three of their centers should still have a role, though it’s unclear how many minutes will be available for Bitadze and Moritz Wagner off the bench.

Ball hasn’t officially been ruled out for Tuesday’s game yet, but with this news, it is safe to say that his current doubtful tag won’t be flipped. He’ll likely be in a strict minutes restriction, so it may be a while before he impacts the team’s rotation and fantasy basketball. However, it will be nice to see him back out on the floor.

BI missed their last game, and this absence from practice isn’t a good sign for his chance of playing on Wednesday. If Ingram remains out, Javonte Green should be in line for another start, with Brandon Boston Jr. and Jordan Hawkins also seeing a few extra minutes off the bench.

Jones still doesn’t have a concrete timeline for his return, but this is a step in the right direction. New Orleans is slowly getting healthier, with Dejounte Murray expected to make his return on Wednesday. It’s unclear what Jones’ role will look like when he returns, but he should at least be a consistent source of steals.
