NBA starting lineups, injury news for Wednesday, January 27

Unlike Tuesday night, where we only had three games in the association. On Wednesday night, we have 12 games on the main slate with tip-off times set between 7:00 p.m. ET and 10:00 p.m. ET. Within those 12 games, we have two games on ESPN. The broadcast night begins at 7:30 p.m. ET with the Los Angeles Lakers and Philadelphia 76ers. That’s followed at 10:00 p.m. ET when the Minnesota Timberwolves will be taking on the Golden State Warriors. There should be a lot of information about who is starting and out, which could affect fantasy basketball lineups and the betting lines.

Let’s take a look at lineups for Wednesday night.
