2 weeks agoChicago Bulls guard/forward
Josh Giddey (hip) is unavailable for Tuesday's matchup with the Cleveland Cavaliers. Giddey will be out of action for the first leg of a back-to-back set due to right forearm tendinopathy. The 22-year-old is likely being held out for injury management and rest after an impressive outing, finishing with 23 points, 10 rebounds, eight assists, and one steal in a 131-117 win over the Hornets on Sunday.
Talen Horton-Tucker is likely in line for a heavier workload while Giddey is out against the Cavs.

Jaylin Williams (ankle) is listed as questionable for Tuesday's matchup with the Los Angeles Lakers. Williams could miss his fourth straight game due to a sprained left ankle. Williams's next opportunity to return to the floor is Thursday evening against the Phoenix Suns. If the 22-year-old is unavailable to suit up,
Kenrich Williams will likely see more playing time than usual. In his last outing, he finished with five points and two steals across 12 minutes during Sunday's matchup against the Lakers.

2 weeks agoWashington Wizards center/forward
Richaun Holmes (shoulder) is unavailable for Tuesday's matchup with the Indiana Pacers. The 31-year-old will be out of action due to a right shoulder contusion for the third straight game. His next chance to suit up is Wednesday evening against the Philadelphia 76ers. With Holmes out for tonight's contest, 32-year-old veteran forward
Anthony Gill will likely see more minutes on the floor. However, he is not a viable fantasy option versus the Pacers.

2 weeks agoWashington Wizards center
Tristan Vukcevic (knee) is unavailable for Tuesday's game against the Indiana Pacers. Vukcevic will miss his second game in a row after he was out against Boston on Sunday due to a left knee contusion. The 21-year-old big man has seen action in 32 games this season, averaging 8.2 points, 3.4 rebounds, and 1.0 assists across 13.3 minutes per contest. With Vukcevic on the shelf and the Wizards shorthanded for this evening, veteran forward
Anthony Gill will likely take on extra minutes.

2 weeks agoBrooklyn Nets center
Nicolas Claxton (rest) is not listed on the injury report for Tuesday's contest against the New Orleans Pelicans. The lanky big man looks set to return to action after missing Sunday's meeting with the Toronto Raptors for rest purposes.
Drew Timme replaced Claxton in the starting lineup on Sunday, notching 13 points with seven rebounds, two assists, and one steal. On Tuesday, Timme is expected to return to the bench, which will negatively impact his fantasy value. Claxton has averaged 10.3 points, 7.6 rebounds, and 1.5 blocks for the season.

2 weeks agoBrooklyn Nets center
Day'Ron Sharpe (knee) will be sidelined for a seventh straight game on Tuesday against the New Orleans Pelicans. The big man has been unavailable for a couple of weeks due to a right knee sprain. Brooklyn has lost
Noah Clowney (ankle) for the season, leaving
Drew Timme and
Trendon Watford as the only center options behind starter
Nicolas Claxton. Both moved into the first unit on Sunday against the Toronto Raptors and played well, but Claxton was rested for the contest. It will be much more difficult for Timme and Watford to please fantasy managers on Tuesday, with Claxton back in the lineup.

2 weeks agoBrooklyn Nets guard
Keon Johnson (rest) will take the night off on Tuesday against the New Orleans Pelicans. Johnson has been ever-present for the Nets since Nov. 22, and the team has decided to give him some rest.
D'Angelo Russell (ankle) has also been ruled out for Tuesday's contest, leading to many additional playing opportunities for the rest of the backcourt.
Reece Beekman,
Tyson Etienne,
Dariq Whitehead, and
Maxwell Lewis could all be involved more in the rotation than usual. The Nets already used Beekman as a starter on Sunday against the Toronto Raptors.

2 weeks agoBrooklyn Nets point guard
D'Angelo Russell (ankle) will not play in Tuesday's contest against the New Orleans Pelicans. Ever since he returned to Brooklyn, Russell has been in and out of the lineup due to various health issues, and he is currently nursing a right ankle sprain.
Reece Beekman has just logged his first career start and may get another opportunity in Tuesday's game. He was impactful at both ends in Sunday's loss to the Toronto Raptors, posting 14 points, four rebounds, five assists, and three steals.
--Taavi Pailk - RotoBallerSource: NBA Injury Report
2 weeks agoBrooklyn Nets forward
Cameron Johnson (back) will remain on the shelf for Tuesday's meeting with the New Orleans Pelicans. He is struggling to recover from a lower back injury, and with only a few games left in the regular season, it would not be surprising if the Nets go the rest of the way without Johnson. With Johnson sidelined,
Trendon Watford is likely to receive a third consecutive start. Watford has averaged 12.0 points, 5.0 rebounds, and 4.5 assists since moving to the starting unit.

2 weeks agoIndiana Pacers guard/forward
Ben Sheppard (toe) has been labeled as questionable for Tuesday's tilt against the Washington Wizards. A toe injury might lead to a second consecutive absence for Sheppard, who is averaging 5.3 points, 2.8 rebounds, and 1.3 steals in 19.5 minutes for the season. Sheppard is a valuable member of the rotation, but his game is not suited for fantasy basketball.
Aaron Nesmith and
Bennedict Mathurin, who tend to be significantly more productive, will likely share the leftover minutes on Tuesday night if Sheppard cannot return.

2 weeks agoIndiana Pacers forward/center
Pascal Siakam (elbow) is questionable for Tuesday's game against the Washington Wizards. Siakam missed only his second game of the season on Sunday against the Denver Nuggets when he had to depart the lineup due to an elbow injury.
Obi Toppin moved into the starting unit and had a big game with 22 points. He will likely keep hold of the spot if Siakam does not return on Tuesday. It's a juicy matchup against the league's weakest defense, so Toppin may do even better than his performance on Sunday.

2 weeks agoLos Angeles Clippers forward
Amir Coffey (knee) will miss a fifth consecutive game on Tuesday against the San Antonio Spurs. He is dealing with inflammation in his left knee. Coffey has been a useful piece in the rotation for the Clippers this season, averaging 9.8 points in 24.6 minutes. However, his playing time has decreased recently, as the team has become healthier. The 27-year-old has not logged more than 16 minutes in any of his five appearances, meaning Coffey is not a big loss for the Clippers.
--Taavi Pailk - RotoBallerSource: NBA Injury Report
2 weeks agoLos Angeles Clippers forward
Kawhi Leonard (knee) has been tagged as questionable for Tuesday's matchup against the San Antonio Spurs. Last week, Leonard played both legs of a back-to-back for the first time this season, but the Clippers once again have two games in as many nights, and the team may want to give the injury-prone star some time off. If Leonard exits the lineup on Tuesday,
Norman Powell and
Bogdan Bogdanovic will take on more significant roles on the offensive end. Meanwhile,
Derrick Jones Jr. and
Nicolas Batum will have the opportunity to earn more playing time, with one of them likely stepping into Leonard's role in the starting unit.

2 weeks agoAtlanta Hawks point guard
Trae Young (Achilles) is listed as probable for Tuesday's game against the Orlando Magic. It's reasonable to assume Young will play, as he has been on the injury report with right Achilles tendinitis all season, while missing only a handful of games. Young saw his season-best double-double streak come to an end at seven games on Saturday against the New York Knicks. But he bounced back in a big way in Sunday's matchup versus the Utah Jazz, finishing a high-scoring 147-134 win with 23 points and 15 assists.
--Taavi Pailk - RotoBallerSource: NBA Injury Report
2 weeks agoNew York Knicks guard
Miles McBride (groin) is listed as probable for Tuesday's big tilt against the Boston Celtics. On Sunday against the Phoenix Suns, McBride returned to action following an eight-game absence, but he is still listed on the injury report with a groin problem. If McBride is dealt a setback ahead of Tuesday's action and can't play,
Cameron Payne will pick up additional minutes off the bench. However, with
Jalen Brunson (ankle) back in action, the rest of the Knicks' guards do not hold much fantasy value.
