Impact:
Wallace still played 39 minutes despite leaving for a short time with an apparent neck injury, which will get re-evaluated on Thursday. He also grabbed four rebounds, got two steals and an assists in the game. He is averaging 15.0 ppg and 8.8 rpg this month, both down from his numbers in February.

Patrick O'Bryant will miss Wednesday's game against the Kings due to a death in his family, Raptors Radio Color Analyst Eric Smith reports.
Impact:
The seldom used O'Bryant is expected to rejoin the team in time for Saturday's game against Golden State. O'Bryant is averaging just 1.9 points in nine appearances this season.
03.10.10
Ronnie Price left Wednesday's game against the Pistons with a wrist injury, the Jazz's official site reports.
Impact:
X-rays came back negative and Price is expected to return to the game. Check back on Thursday, but it doesn't sound like this injury will keep Price on the sidelines.
03.10.10
Gerald Wallace left in the second quarter of Wednesday's game against the Sixers with an apparent neck injury but was able to return.
Impact:
His return to the court alleviates most concerns, but it wouldn't hurt to keep and eye on "Crash" over the next couple days.
03.10.10
Eddy Curry (knee) has been ruled out of Wednesday's game against the Spurs, Howard Beck of the New York Times reports.
Impact:
It looks like we'll have to continue waiting for Curry to make his return. He has only managed to average 3.7 points in his seven appearances this season, so don't expect much once he finally does step on the court.
03.10.10
Brandon Bass will continue to be Rashard Lewis's primary backup at power forward, the Orlando Sentinel reports.
Impact:
Bass as been the first power forward off the bench in six straight games. Unfortunately his averages of 5.5 points and 3.8 rebounds over that stretch limit his value in even the deepest of leagues.
03.10.10
Jose Barea's injured ankle is feeling better, but the diminutive guard is unsure if he'll be able to return for Saturday's tilt against the Knicks, the Dallas Morning News reports.
Impact:
Barea is eying a return next week Wednesday against the Bulls. That's around the same time Jason Terry (face) will be making a return, and with Roddy Beaubois playing well, there might not be much playing time for Barea when he returns.
03.10.10
John Roberson tallied 19 points, five boards and nine dimes in Tech's 82-67 victory over Colorado on Wednesday.
Impact:
Roberson shot 6-for-12 from the floor, including 4-of-7 from beyond the arc. Despite this big win, Roberson and the Red Raiders will likely need to win the Big 12 Championship to get into the NCAA tournament.
03.10.10
Nebraska stunned Mizzou on Wednesday behind 19 points, seven rebounds and three dimes from Brandon Richardson.
Impact:
Despite five turnovers, the 6-0 sophomore guard posted career-highs in points and rebounds to lead the Cornhuskers to the shocking victory.
03.10.10
Brendan Haywood (back) is listed in the starting lineup for Wednesday's game against the Nets, Chris Mannix of Sports Illustrated reports.
Impact:
All signs have pointed to Haywood making his return Wednesday, and this should seal the deal. Get him back in your lineup.
03.10.10
As expected, Tracy McGrady (general soreness) is in the starting lineup for Wednesday's game against the Spurs, Howard Beck of the New York Times reports.
Impact:
McGrady owners will have to continue to watch his status on a nightly basis, but he's a solid play when active. Get him in your lineup.
03.10.10
Aubrey Coleman put up 29 points, four rebounds, five assists and a steal in Houston's first round victory over East Carolina in the Conference USA tournament.
Impact:
Coleman, the nation's leading scorer, put up another solid stat line in the team's first game of their conference tournament. The otherwise mediocre Houston team will continue to rely heavily on Coleman. He will need to have several more monster games for Houston to have any shot at winning the tournament and securing a bid in the NCAA tournament.
03.10.10
Eddy Curry, who was previously expected to return Wednesday night, is now listed as a game-time decision with a sore knee, Howard Beck of the New York Times reports.
Impact:
Curry continues to struggle getting into game shape. No need to worry about Curry as a fantasy option until he proves his value on the court.
03.10.10
Monta Ellis is leaning towards returning Thursday against the Blazers, but a final decision won't be made until the team sees how his back responds to Wednesday's practice, Marcus Thompson of Contra Costa Times reports.
Impact:
Ellis has slowly been closing in on a return, but it looks like his status won't be known until after Thursday's shootaround.
03.10.10
Darko Milicic will start in place of the suspended Ryan Hollins Wednesday against the Nuggets, Jerry Zgoda of the Minneapolis Star Tribune reports.
Impact:
Timberwolves coach Kurt Rambis went with Milicic over Kevin Love for the second straight suspension --- Milicic had started in place of the suspended Al Jefferson last week. Hollins is only going to be out Wednesday and Friday, so Darko's value will likely be short lived.
03.10.10
As expected, Johan Petro will start at center Wednesday against the Timberwolves, Benjamin Hochman of the Denver Post reports.
Impact:
He's seeing playing time in place of the injured Kenyon Martin (knee). There's not much to get excited about with Petro's game, but he did manage to snag 10 boards in his first start. Deep leagues may want to consider for help on the glass but expect inconsistency.
03.10.10
Julian Wright will start at small forward Wednesday night in place of the injured Peja Stojakovic (abdomen), Hornets radio announcer Sean Kelly reports.
Impact:
Stojakovic is out for the next two weeks, so this is a big opportunity for Wright to make his case for more playing time. The third-year small forward is averaging just 10 minutes per game this season. No need to rush to the waivers and grab him, but deep leagues will want to keep an eye on Wright and see how he handles the promotion.
03.10.10
Terrence Williams is averaging 13 points, 6.5 rebounds and six assists through four games this month.
Impact:
Williams started the season of in promising fashion, but saw his minutes quickly start to dwindle in late November. He's finally receiving ample playing time again for the hapless Nets and is showing off the well-rounded game that made him a lottery pick. With his rare ability to pick up high assist totals from the shooting guard and small forward positions, Williams is a solid addition in most formats.
03.10.10
C.J. Miles will wear a brace on his left knee during Wednesday's game against the Pistons, Ross Siler of the Salt Lake Tribune reports.
Impact:
Miles was hit in the knee by Derrick Rose during Tuesday's win over Chicago. Since Miles is still able to suit up and play one day after suffering the injury, it doesn't look like owners have much to worry about.
