Thompson (ankle) is probable for Wednesday against the Hornets.

Thompson returned from a one-game absence to post 11 points (5-9 FG, 0-1 3Pt, 1-3 FT), six rebounds, two assists, two steals and a block across 25 minutes in Tuesday's 111-97 loss to the Knicks. He appears to have walked away without any setbacks and is expected to play the second leg of this back-to-back set.

The Raptors recalled Bradley from the G League's Raptors 905 on Tuesday.

Bradley returns to Toronto after a brief stint with the 905, where he was assigned earlier Tuesday to participate in training camp. The rookie guard has yet to establish a role in Toronto's rotation and figures to continue splitting time between the NBA and G League throughout the season.

The Hawks assigned Ejiofor to the G League's College Park Skyhawks on Tuesday.

Ejiofor has struggled to carve out a consistent role in Atlanta's frontcourt early in his rookie campaign. The 2026 first-round pick played just one minute during Monday's loss to Houston, and the assignment should provide him with an opportunity for additional development and playing time.

Wiggins (knee) is probable for Wednesday against Miami.

Wiggins was previously considered questionable for Atlanta. However, he's trending in the right direction and appears ready to reprise his usual role.

Dybantsa (ankle) will make his NBA debut Wednesday against the Cavaliers, Shams Charania of ESPN reports.

Washington will finally unveil the No. 1 overall pick Wednesday. With this being his debut, Dybantsa may face restrictions in his first game back. Bilal Coulibaly may see reduced minutes with this news.

Williams ended Tuesday's 136-129 loss to the Trail Blazers with 11 points (4-5 FG, 2-3 3Pt, 1-2 FT), two rebounds, four assists and two steals in 29 minutes.

Williams made the most of his limited offensive opportunities, connecting on four of five field-goal attempts while adding four assists and two steals. The 25-year-old forward has started each of the Lakers' first four games, giving him a relatively stable role despite his modest scoring volume. His ability to contribute across multiple categories makes him worth monitoring in deeper fantasy formats.

Cissoko accumulated six points (2-4 FG, 0-2 3Pt, 2-2 FT), two rebounds and four assists across 20 minutes during Tuesday's 136-129 win over the Lakers.

Cissoko provided a modest contribution off the bench, matching his scoring output with solid playmaking in 20 minutes. The 22-year-old wing has an opportunity to establish himself as a regular contributor in Portland's rotation, though his limited scoring opportunities and lack of defensive production Tuesday highlight his modest fantasy ceiling.

Williams racked up 14 points (6-8 FG, 2-2 FT), 10 rebounds, one assist, one block and two steals across 21 minutes during Tuesday's 136-129 victory over the Lakers.

Williams delivered an efficient performance off the bench, recording a double-double while making six of his eight field-goal attempts. The veteran center also contributed three combined steals and blocks, showcasing his ability to provide fantasy value in limited minutes. However, Donovan Clingan remains Portland's starting center, making Williams' playing time worth monitoring.

Barnes closed with three points (1-2 FG, 0-1 3Pt, 1-2 FT) over 13 minutes during Tuesday's 130-103 victory over the Kings.

Barnes played a limited role off the bench, attempting just two shots and failing to record a rebound or assist. The veteran forward saw fewer minutes than fellow reserves Julian Champagnie and Keldon Johnson, highlighting the competition for playing time in San Antonio's rotation. Barnes' modest offensive involvement and limited minutes make him difficult to trust in standard fantasy leagues.

Johnson closed Tuesday's 130-103 win over Sacramento with 14 points (5-11 FG, 4-5 FT) and four rebounds over 22 minutes.

Johnson established a season high in scoring, reaching double figures for the second time in four games. The veteran forward attempted a season-high 11 shots but failed to contribute any assists or defensive statistics. Johnson has averaged 9.8 points and 5.0 rebounds through four appearances, leaving him with limited fantasy appeal outside deeper leagues.
