Jonathan Isaac (injury maintenance) — Out
Confirmed Lineup: Tyus Jones, Corey Kispert, Bilal Coulibaly, Deni Avdija, Kyle Kuzma
Marvin Bagley (back) — Out
Isaiah Livers (hip) — Out for season
After Bagley left with an injury on Monday, Kuzma played the entire fourth quarter at center, with Richaun Holmes not even entering the game, a potential clue for how interim coach Keefe may choose to line up against Orlando. Kuzma was also the nominal center when Bagley was sidelined after the trade deadline. Bagley had started each of Washington's last 10 games, averaging 11.9 points and 8.7 rebounds over 26.2 minutes per outing.
Confirmed Lineup: Darius Garland, Isaac Okoro, Georges Niang, Dean Wade, Jarrett Allen
Max Strus (knee) — Out
Donovan Mitchell (knee) — Injured
Evan Mobley (ankle) — Injured
Ty Jerome (ankle) — Injured
Tristan Thompson — Suspended
Mobley left Tuesday night's game early with a sprained left ankle and left the arena on crutches. Wade was the regular starter at the four during Mobley's lengthy injury stint earlier in the season, but he only averaged 24.4 minutes per game while in the first five. However, he was electric in relief of Mobley on Monday, scoring 20 points in the fourth quarter en route to a comeback win over Boston. Expect Georges Niang and Caris LeVert to also see minutes bumps if Mobley misses, especially if Strus remains out.
Confirmed Lineup: Dejounte Murray, Bogdan Bogdanovic, Saddiq Bey, Jalen Johnson, Clint Capela
De'Andre Hunter (injury management) — Available
Kobe Bufkin (toe) — Out
Trae Young (finger) — Injured
Onyeka Okongwu (toe) — Injured
Mouhamed Gueye (back) — Injured
Confirmed Lineup: James Harden, Terance Mann, Paul George, Kawhi Leonard, Ivica Zubac
Russell Westbrook (hand) — Injured
Confirmed Lineup: Fred VanVleet, Jalen Green, Dillon Brooks, Jabari Smith Jr., Alperen Sengun
Jabari Smith Jr. (illness) — Available
Jeff Green (knee) — Out
Tari Eason (leg) — Out for season
Steven Adams (knee) — Out for season
Confirmed Lineup: Luke Kennard, John Konchar, Vince Williams, Santi Aldama, Jaren Jackson Jr.
Jaren Jackson Jr. (quad) — Available
Yuta Watanabe (wrist) — Out
Desmond Bane (ankle) — Injured
Marcus Smart (finger) — Injured
Ziaire Williams (hip, back) — Injured
Derrick Rose (back, groin) — Injured
Scotty Pippen Jr. (back) — Injured
Brandon Clarke (Achilles) — Injured
Ja Morant (shoulder) — Out for season
Jackson Jr. is looking to return after missing three straight games with a quad injury, and Memphis could certainly use him, as Watanabe's absence makes eight players already confirmed out due to injury. In this current stint with Jackson Jr. out, Trey Jemison has started two of three games, while Lamar Stevens was in the first five for the other contest. Stevens should continue to benefit if Jackson Jr. misses, while Jemison will likely be made inactive if Jackson Jr. returns to the lineup.
Confirmed Lineup: Cam Payne, Buddy Hield, Tobias Harris, Nicolas Batum, Mo Bamba
Tyrese Maxey (concussion) — Out
Kyle Lowry (rest) — Out
Joel Embiid (knee) — Injured

Zach LaVine (foot) — Out for season
Patrick Williams (foot) — Out for season
Lonzo Ball (knee) — Out for season
Confirmed Lineup: Collin Sexton, Kris Dunn, Brice Sensabaugh, Luka Samanic, John Collins
Keyonte George (illness) — Out
Lauri Markkanen (quad) — Out
Walker Kessler (foot) — Out
Otto Porter Jr. (not with team) — Out
Taylor Hendricks (toe) — Injured
Hendricks will be out at least a week with a sprained left big toe, opening a hole in Utah's starting lineup. Jordan Clarkson and Kris Dunn started the second half in place of early-departing George and Hendricks on Monday. Dunn is a favorite to remain in the starting lineup, but if the Jazz prefer to leave Clarkson in his sixth man role, Brice Sensabaugh played a career-high 21 minutes against the Wizards and is an option to start at the three. Omer Yurtseven is a third possibility if coach Hardy elects to go for size.
Confirmed Lineup: Damian Lillard, Malik Beasley, Jae Crowder, Giannis Antetokounmpo, Brook Lopez
Giannis Antetokounmpo (Achilles) — Available
Jae Crowder (knee) — Available
MarJon Beauchamp (back) — Available
Khris Middleton (ankle) — Injured
Confirmed Lineup: Stephen Curry, Brandin Podziemski, Andrew Wiggins, Jonathan Kuminga, Draymond Green
Brandin Podziemski (knee) — Not on injury report
Andrew Wiggins (personal) — In
Wiggins has returned to the Warriors after a personal issue and will play and likely start against the Bucks on Wednesday, per Coach Kerr. Wiggins returned to team activities with Golden State this week after tending to a serious family matter, per Shams Charania of The Athletic and Stadium. He practiced on Tuesday, but his minutes load for Wednesday is undecided. Wiggins has missed each of Golden State's last four games. Moses Moody had been starting in his place, averaging 12.0 points and 4.0 rebounds in 24.7 minutes per outing over the four-game run.
