-Dwight Howard, Houston Rockets (Questionable)

Dwight Howard rolled his ankle in practice on Tuesday and will be a game-time call for Wednesday's contest against the Dallas Mavericks. Originally tweaking the ankle in Friday's which lead to Howard's sitting on Sunday's game seemed to be in recovery until he sprained it again. It now appears Dwight's ankle he may be in worse shape for tonight's game then originally anticipated. If Howard misses tonight's game look for Joey Dorsey to possibly get another start. Check back closer to game time for updates on this one.

Possible NBA Daily Fantasy Sports Beneficiaries:

James Harden

Trevor Ariza

Patrick Beverley

-Kevin Durant, Okalohma City Thunder

Kevin Durant (toe) is still listed as day-to-day with the chance he may be able to play Wednesday night against the New York Knicks. Durant has already missed one game due to the toe injury, but there is no indication he will be sidelined for a long period of time. Continue to check Kevin's game time status in advance of Wednesday's tip off. If Durant does not get the start most likely Perry Jones will get another start at the three position in his absence.

3 Wednesday Daily Fantasy Sports Matchup's To Focus On:

Washington @ Phoenix - Over/Under 211 (PHO -5)

This should be a high flying affair with the guard positions getting the most run as is usual when if comes to Phoenix. John Wall has been amazing this year and almost dropped a triple double last night against the Lakers. Guards get the most attention on both teams and in a fast paced game such as this the guards should see plenty of chances to gather up those points. These two teams are fighting for the last few playoff spots as well which should make for an exciting game.

Phoenix Players To Watch:

Goran Dragic

Eric Bledsoe

Isiah Thomas

Washington Players To Watch:

John Wall

Bradley Beal

Portland @ Cleveland - Over/Under 206.5 (CLE -5.5)

Both these teams are great looks in daily fantasy sports as the stars play heavy minutes and are looked to often on both squads. Cleveland is coming into a back to back after beating a solid playing Pistons squad last night but Lebron has been speaking about how he feels his best of the season and has playing like it as well which was evident in his 38 point performance last night. With Batum for Portland injured this could be another great time for a Lebron magical performance. Starters for both teams get lots of minutes so expect a nice amount of NBA daily fantasy points for the stars of this game.

Portland Players To Watch:

LaMarcus Aldridge

Damian Lillard

Wesley Matthews

Cleveland Players To Watch:

LeBron James

Kyrie Irving

Dallas @ Houston - Over/Under 208.5 (HOU -4)

With both of these teams centers hurting and questionable for this game we might see some fireworks from the outside and inside in this one. A bit of a rivalry game and with a high over and under and close point spread this should be a great game to pick up some NBA daily fantasy sports. Harden and Ellis on the regular take 20+ shots per game so it should be interesting to see how these two match up against each other at the shooting guard position. Should be a fun game to watch!

Houston Players To Watch:

James Harden

Trevor Ariza

Patrick Beverley

Donatas Motiejunas


Dallas Players To Watch:

Monta Ellis

Dirk Nowitzki

Rajon Rondo
