The NBA continues to give us these odd schedules with a bunch of early games and a few late games instead of spreading them out throughout the night. We have an 11-game Wednesday slate with some interesting lineup changes for various reasons (injuries or Steve Kerr changing his mind twice a week), so let’s get to it.

 Standard Leagues

(<50% rostered on Yahoo)

Vasilije Micic, CHA, PG/SG (7% rostered on Yahoo)

Tonight: 28 minutes, 15 points (5-of-10 FG, 1-of-2 FT), seven rebounds, six assists, four 3-pointers

Analysis: LaMelo Ball (left ankle sprain) will be re-evaluated in one week. Micic probably doesn’t become a mega star or anything but he’ll be good for assists with more upside there then you usually see on waivers.

Ziaire Williams, BKN, SG/SF (3%)

Tonight: 33 minutes, 13 points (5-of-10 FG), three rebounds, three assists, two steals, three 3-pointers

Analysis: Noah Clowney (left ankle sprain) was helped off the court on Monday and was sidelined on Wednesday (no timeline yet), so Williams replaced him in the starting lineup. Based on how the trade deadline is likely to unfold, Williams may be getting a head start on locking down a much larger role in the weeks to come, with or without Clowney.
