- Jerryd Bayless is slowly starting to get more minutes and should be put on your watchlist.
- Check LaMarcus Aldridge’s status for the next game, as he’s dealing with an ankle injury.
- Mikki Moore had surgery for bone spurs with no return date set. Anthony Randolph should pick up some extra minutes, maybe.
- Grab Lou Williams if he is on your waiver wire. He might return earlier than expected.
- Mickael Pietrus is dealing with a stomach virus, be careful starting him tonight.
- Jeff Foster is out Wednesday due to back problems. Roy Hibbert should get the start with Troy Murphy and Tyler Hansbrough also picking up extra minutes.
- Rip Hamilton is questionable with a hamstring problem suffered in Tuesday’s game.
- Ryan Gomes will miss some time with an ankle sprain.
- Devin Harris will not get any further discipline for the hard foul on Jamario Moon that got him ejected from Tuesday’s game.
- Carlos Arroyo got the start at PG last night for Miami sending Mario Chalmers to the bench. Seems to be just a penalty oon Chalmers for being late for team practice, so I doubt the arrangement is permanent.
- Nate Robinson got his 6th straight DNP-CD.
- Delonte West missed on Tuesday and is pretty much unusable in daily fantasy cash games.
- Tracy McGrady returned last night but didn’t do much. I’ve read he’s being showcased for a trade. Who knows how much truth there is to that rumor.
- Trevor Ariza served his one game suspension and will return Wednesday. Chase Budinger looked really good getting the start for Ariza. Put Budinger on your watchlist if you are in a keeper league.
- Jason Richardson tried to play through a wrist injury on Tuesday, but couldn’t get anything going. Bench him until the wrist heals.
- Derrick Rose suffered a rib injury on Tuesday. Check his status for the next game.
- Quentin Richardson missed his second consecutive game on Tuesday with a sore hamstring. No return date has been set for Richardson.
