Herb Jones (ankle) has been ruled out against the Bulls on Wednesday.
Jones will miss a fifth straight game with this ankle injury. Bryce McGowens had been starting in his stead, but Zion Williamson returned to the starting lineup in place of Jones in New Orleans' last game. That will likely continue against Chicago.

Ryan Dunn (knee) is questionable for Wednesday's game against the Cavaliers.
Dunn, who injured his knee during Friday's win over the Pelicans, has missed Phoenix's last two games. Rasheer Fleming and Isaiah Livers played rotation minutes off the bench in Monday's win over the Wizards, but neither player affects fantasy basketball.

Grayson Allen (knee) is doubtful for Wednesday's game against the Cavaliers.
Allen has missed Phoenix's last six games due to right knee injury management, and that unfortunate streak appears likely to reach seven on Wednesday. Royce O'Neale will remain in the starting lineup as long as Allen is out, and he's worth a look for managers needing three-pointers and steals.

Pat Connaughton (ankle) is questionable for Wednesday's game against the Warriors.
Connaughton has not played more than six minutes in any of the four games he's played since returning from a strained calf that sidelined him for nearly a month. Even if he's available on Wednesday, there's no need to consider rostering him in fantasy leagues.

Porzingis (illness) to return Wed. for sliding Hawks
Kristaps Porzingis is set to return Wednesday night against the Wolves after missing 10 straight games because of an illness.
(Dec 30 -- ESPN)
Kristaps Porzingis (illness) is not on the injury report against the Timberwolves on Wednesday.
Porzingis will make his return after missing nearly a month due to an illness. He'll likely have his minutes restricted and continue to come off the bench, which is good news for Onyeka Okongwu. Porzingis played 21 minutes off the bench in his most recent appearance and was productive. He's still worth keeping an eye on, but hopefully Porzingis is in the clear with these illness issues.

Mason Plumlee (groin) is out for Wednesday's game against the Warriors.
Plumlee will miss a fourth consecutive game with a strained right groin. The Hornets have leaned heavily on Moussa Diabate, as Ryan Kalkbrenner (elbow) is also injured.
