Steven Adams
C, Oklahoma City Thunder

Steven Adams (left lower leg contusion) and Nerlens Noel (right ankle sprain) are both questionable to play on Wednesday against the Heat.

Adams has missed the last three games and looks like he is in danger of missing tonight’s action as well. Oklahoma is likely trying to keep him fresh for the playoffs though as we haven’t heard anything specific about his injury. Noel has also remained sidelined, missing the opportunity to capitalize on Adam’s absence, so look for Mike Muscala to get the start again if both big men can’t give it a go.

OG Anunoby
SF, Toronto Raptors

The official NBA injury report is listing OG Anunoby as questionable to face the Sixers on Wednesday due to right knee soreness.

This doesn’t seem to be anything serious and the Raptors are likely giving the night off to their young forward. Anunoby missed the NBA playoffs last year but he has been an integral part of the team this year and Toronto will need him to be at full speed in their quest to repeat.

CJ McCollum
SG, Portland Trail Blazers

CJ McCollum hit the game-sealing free throws for Portland on Tuesday and made it look easy, considering he has been playing with a L3 vertebral transverse process fracture since last Thursday, weathering the effects through three games thus far.

One of the bright spots about this type of fracture is that it is unlikely to jeopardize the stability of the spine or affect the spinal cord, since the core part of the vertebrae remains unaffected. McCollum apparently suffered the injury last week but has not been listed on the team’s injury report for any of the last three games. That could be taken to mean that there was never a doubt he would participate in any of them, even though it's pretty certain he is playing in a great deal of discomfort. The Blazers need to beat the Nets on Thursday in order to secure the No. 8 seed in the West and McCollum will most definitely be out there battling with his teammates.

Jayson Tatum
SF, Boston Celtics

After their fourth consecutive victory on Tuesday, Celtics star Jayson Tatum believes his team is reaching the level necessary to have a long and successful run in the playoffs.

“I think we’re ready,” Jayson Tatum said following Tuesday night’s win, during which he poured in a game-high 29 points. The numbers do validate Tatum’s confidence as, in their first three bubble matchups, the team averaged just 19.0 assists per game, a number that has risen to an impressive 29.3 over the last five contests. Boston’s defense has also done a solid job over the last few outings after a rough start in Florida. And the best indicator of Boston’s playoff readiness in Kemba Walker’s mind is its focus level, which was on display Tuesday night against a Grizzlies team that was fighting for its postseason life.

Victor Oladipo
SG, Indiana Pacers

Nate McMillan, who had one year left on his deal, has agreed on a contract extension with the Pacers, according to Adrian Wojnarowski of ESPN.

McMillan has been criticized for the offense he runs but the Pacers clearly reward him for maximizing the organization's roster despite several stretches of significant injuries in recent years. He currently has the Pacers positioned as the fifth seed in the Eastern Conference playoff chase, while he is likely to be without All-Star forward Domantas Sabonis, who left the NBA's bubble to rehab a plantar fasciitis injury in his left foot. In 16 seasons with the Seattle Sonics, the Blazers and the Pacers, McMillan is 665-590 and 20-32 in nine trips to the playoffs, while he is one of 26 coaches to win 600 NBA games.
