Joe Ingles Fills The Stat Sheet In Win
Joe Ingles had a solid all-around game against the Dallas Mavericks on Saturday night. He didn't shoot particularly well, scoring just 12 points on 4-for-12 shooting. However, Ingles chipped in eight assists, four rebounds, two three-pointers, two steals and two blocks. While Ingles' hot shooting may be coming back down to earth a bit, he is still a solid contributor across the board. In his last 10 games, he's averaging 15.5 points, 4.2 assists, 3.1 three-pointers and 1.1 steals per game. These averages rank Ingles as a top-40 player in nine-category leagues over that span. Owners who held onto Ingles through his rough stretch in January should have a solid player going into the fantasy playoffs. However, Ingles may be in a tough spot with his next matchup against the Houston Rockets, who have a ton of defensive weapons that may limit Ingles' impact.

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.
