Joe Ingles With 24 Points On Tuesday
Joe Ingles scored 24 points on 5-for-12 shooting in Tuesday's game against the Boston Celtics. In addition, he grabbed three rebounds and dished out six assists. Ingles was 5-for-11 from three and also went 9-for-10 from the free-throw line. He'll face the Bucks on Friday, who allow opponents to shoot the eighth-highest percentage from three and to score the 16th-most points per game. This Jazz team is rolling right now, but Ingles had scored 10 or fewer points in six consecutive games before this. While he's a great shooter at times, inconsistency has been an issue for Ingles all year, limiting his fantasy production.

Joe Ingles Signing With The Timberwolves
Joe Ingles has agreed to a one-year, $3.3 million deal with the Minnesota Timberwolves. The 36-year-old sharpshooter will move on from the Orlando Magic and try to help the Timberwolves take another step forward next season after the team made it to the Western Conference Finals. Ingles has shot 41% from beyond the arc for his career, and will potentially fill the void in Minnesota after they lost Kyle Anderson to free agency.

Joe Ingles Still Out On Tuesday
Joe Ingles (ankle) has been ruled out for a 12th consecutive game ahead of Tuesday's meeting with Minnesota. He's nearing a month-long absence, having last played on Dec. 15 against Boston. Caleb Houstan has received a larger role in the rotation without Ingles and even started Sunday versus Atlanta with Franz Wagner (ankle) also missing. He had a great game with 25 points, but Houstan's efforts have been inconsistent, and he faces a much better defense on Tuesday, so the 20-year-old could easily leave fantasy managers disappointed.

Joe Ingles To Remain Out On Tuesday
Joe Ingles (ankle) will remain sidelined for Tuesday's game against the Golden State Warriors. This marks the ninth game in a row that Ingles has missed due to a left ankle sprain. To be fair, the veteran forward wasn't bringing a ton to the table when healthy. Fantasy managers should expect the team to wait until Ingles is fully healthy to get him back on the court, so possibly a few more absences. In the meantime, Caleb Houstan should remain in the rotation and see an increased run.

Joe Ingles Could Miss A Sixth Consecutive Game
Joe Ingles (ankle) remains on the injury report ahead of Wednesday's battle with the 76ers, with the team listing him as questionable. The 36-year-old missed a fifth consecutive game on Tuesday versus Washington. The injuries have steadily piled up for the Magic, resulting in a couple of starters getting close to 40 minutes against the Wizards. Bench pieces like Cole Anthony are also set for a heavier workload if Ingles, Gary Harris (calf), and Jonathan Isaac (hamstring) aren't ready to go on Wednesday.
