Phoenix Suns guard Devin Booker (groin) won't play on Wednesday versus Oklahoma City. The 29-year-old suffered a groin injury during the win over the Los Angeles Lakers on December 1 and is now in line to miss his third-straight contest. He was listed as questionable, meaning he could be nearing a return. For now, fantasy managers will await an update on his condition. Collin Gillespie, averaging 21.0 points, 5.0 assists, 1.0 steals, and 45.8% shooting from deep in five starts, is expected to remain in the starting lineup. Mark Williams and Dillon Brooks, combining for 40 points in Monday's win over the Minnesota Timberwolves, are also anticipated to see a bump in scoring chances while Booker is out off the floor. With that said, all three, along with everyone else on the Suns' roster, might have their work cut out for them against one of the best defensive teams in the National Basketball Association.

New Orleans Pelicans guardJordan Poole(quad)is questionable for Thursday's matchup with the Portland Trail Blazers. Poole has missed 18 consecutive contests due to a quad strain and hasn't been labeled questionable since the injury occurred, dating back to November 4. If the 26-year-old is still unable to return on Thursday,Jeremiah Fearsand Jose Alvarado will continue to carry heavy workloads, helping out Trey Murphy III and the Pelicans' backcourt.

According to Jovan Buha of The Athletic, Los Angeles Lakers forward/centerMaxi Kleber(back) is out for Wednesday's NBA Cup tilt against the San Antonio Spurs. The veteran big man will be out of action due to a lumbar muscle strain. His absence won't cause too much distress to the Lakers or fantasy managers, as the 33-year-old hasn't seen many minutes on the floor during this campaign. He's averaging 12.1 minutes per contest while posting 1.8 points and 1.8 rebounds across 10 outings.

Tim Reynolds of Associated Press reports that Miami Heat guard/forwardPelle Larsson(ankle) will miss at least a week after an MRI determined he has a sprained right ankle. The 24-year-old sustained the injury during Tuesday's NBA Cup Quarterfinal game against the Magic. He has played in 24 games this season and is averaging 8.7 points, 3.2 assists and 2.5 rebounds across 21.9 minutes per contest. With Larsson on the shelf, Jaime Jaquezwill likely take on extra minutes, giving fantasy managers a solid streaming option going into the Heat's next matchup against the Raptors on December 15.
