Orlando Magic forward Franz Wagner (ankle) is set to return to action on Thursday against the Memphis Grizzlies. The team has removed Wagner from the injury report ahead of the game. It will be a special matchup for Wagner, as the Magic and Grizzlies face off in his hometown of Berlin, Germany. It will be the NBA's first-ever regular-season game in Germany. Wagner has missed more than a month due to an ankle injury, so he will likely be under a minute restriction on Thursday. However, it will be great to see him back. Wagner's return will reduce playing time for Noah Penda and Tristan da Silva and shift the offensive dynamics.

Cleveland Cavaliers forward Dean Wade (knee) won't suit up on Wednesday against the Philadelphia 76ers. He will miss a fourth consecutive game due to a left knee contusion. During Wade's absence, Sam Merrill has moved back to the first unit, sinking eight triples over the last two games while averaging 17.0 points. Nae'Qwan Tomlin, Jaylon Tyson, and De'Andre Hunter have seen more minutes off the bench. Merrill's form faces a stern test on Wednesday night, as Philadelphia has limited opponents to 33.5 percent three-point shooting, the second-lowest percentage in the league.

Toronto Raptors guard/forward Ja'Kobe Walter (hip) won't play on Wednesday night against the Indiana Pacers. He hurt his right hip on Sunday against the Philadelphia 76ers and won't be available for a second consecutive game. Due to RJ Barrett's (ankle) absence, Walter started on Sunday. After he joined Barrett in the infirmary, Jamal Shead maintained a starting role in Monday's rematch against Philadelphia, but he had a disappointing evening with three points, one rebound, six assists, and two steals. Shead will probably remain in the first unit on Wednesday, and he will be in a good spot for a bounce-back performance.

Dallas Mavericks point guard Brandon Williams (illness) is considered questionable for Wednesday's contest against the Denver Nuggets. He's in danger of missing a third consecutive game due to illness. Ryan Nembhard and Jaden Hardy have additional fantasy value with Williams on the shelf. Dallas has given both players a look in the starting unit, with Hardy starting the most recent game. He amassed 14 points and two rebounds in a 113-105 win over the Brooklyn Nets. Meanwhile, Nembhard contributed nine points and eight assists off the bench.
