Kalkbrenner (ankle) returns from a one-game absence to reclaim his spot in the Hornets’ starting rotation. As a result, veteran center Mason Plumlee will head back to the bench. Likewise, Ball (ankle) is available after missing the Hornets’ loss on Sunday to the Hawks. Charlotte has lost nine of its last 10 games and will look to end its current six-game losing streak.

With Antetokounmpo considered questionable on the initial injury report, there was hope that he would play. Unfortunately, the Bucks have ruled out their superstar forward. While Bobby Portis offers superior streaming value, Jericho Sims received a spot start the last time out. However, Sims only played 11 minutes, so there’s no need to consider streaming him if he gets another start.

Jović had missed Miami’s last four games, but will rejoin the rotation on Wednesday during the team’s five-game winning streak. He’ll likely come off the bench for the 14th time in 15 appearances to provide the Heat with a bit of a scoring boost. The fourth-year forward has struggled with his shooting efficiency thus far. However, he’s averaging career highs in rebounds and assists. A return to form from beyond the arc would help his fantasy production.

Smith is available after a hip injury landed him on the initial injury report. While he should remain in the rotation, his playing time may decrease, as this will be the healthiest the Heat have been this season. Leave Smith on the waiver wire.

Jaquez was upgraded from questionable to probable earlier Wednesday, so the final upgrade was expected. He’ll continue to come off the bench, but there may be some concern about Jaquez’s fantasy value, given that Andrew Wiggins and Norman Powell are also available. He’s worth holding onto for now, but that could change down the road.

After sitting out Monday’s win over the Mavericks, Powell is back for the Heat. However, it’s unknown if he’ll start or come off the bench. If Powell resumes his usual duties as a starter, Pelle Larsson is the player most likely headed to the bench. However, Powell can provide excellent value as a reserve, serving as the primary scoring option for the second unit.

Wiggins is back after missing the last three games with a left hip flexor injury. He’ll likely be in the starting lineup, with Kel’el Ware moving to the bench. Ware will get the minutes needed to provide solid fantasy value, so do not even consider dropping him.

Jaquez and Smith were initially questionable for Wednesday’s game. Both are on track to play, and the Heat may have their full rotation as a result. With Andrew Wiggins and Norman Powell also probable, Jaquez and Smith may have lower fantasy ceilings for Wednesday’s action. Of the two, Jaquez is better able to deliver reliable value.

The Celtics are without Neemias Queta for Wednesday’s game, as he sprained his left ankle during Sunday’s win over the Magic. He’ll be replaced in the lineup by Garza, who may be the post player most capable of dealing with the Pistons’ physical frontcourt among the options available to head coach Joe Mazzulla. That’s the lone change to the starting lineup.

Given how things are trending, the Heat should be as close to full strength as they’ve been this season for the final game before Thanksgiving. Wiggins has missed the last three games, opening up a spot in the starting lineup for Kel’el Ware. The second-year center will likely be bumped to the bench if Wiggins plays. As for Jović, he’ll provide additional depth off the bench but is unlikely to impact fantasy basketball in that role.
