Philadelphia 76ers center Joel Embiid (illness) won't suit up against the Washington Wizards on Wednesday due to an illness. Embiid played through the illness on Monday against Miami, collecting 26 points, seven rebounds, three assists and one block across 34 minutes. However, he posted on X that the organization was shutting him down for tonight's game. Adem Bona and Andre Drummond will see expanded roles with Embiid back out of action.

Denver Nuggets forward Cameron Johnson (back) isn't on the injury report ahead of Wednesday's encounter with the Utah Jazz. Back spasms prevented Johnson from finishing Sunday's game against Golden State, but he won't have to miss additional time due to the issue. However, Spencer Jones (hamstring) and Zeke Nnaji (hip), who both also exited early on Sunday, won't be available against Utah. Considering those absences, Johnson could see increased minutes on Wednesday in a highly favorable fantasy matchup.

Denver Nuggets forward/center Aaron Gordon (calf) is probable for Wednesday's meeting with the Utah Jazz. After he missed Sunday's win over Golden State due to left calf tightness, Gordon was a full participant in Tuesday's practice. Peyton Watson was part of the starting unit against the Warriors and is likely heading back to the bench on Wednesday night. Still, Watson will maintain an important role and hinted on Tuesday that he might see more playing time against Utah after being recently limited to around 20 minutes per game.

Sacramento Kings guard Malik Monk (shoulder) is not listed on the injury report for Wednesday's contest against the Toronto Raptors. A shoulder issue kept Monk sidelined on Sunday when the Kings faced Brooklyn. Monk had a pair of 30-point efforts last month, but he has recently acted more as a playmaker. The 28-year-old has averaged 7.4 assists across his last three appearances, adding 13.2 points in 27.0 minutes per game. On Wednesday, Monk will eat into the minutes of Daeqwon Plowden, DaQuan Jeffries, and Killian Hayes.
