1 week agoMilwaukee Bucks guard
Gary Trent Jr. (hip) is active on Tuesday night for Milwaukee's game against the Toronto Raptors. Trent will come off the bench and Ryan Hollis will get the start in place of the injured
Damian Lillard. Trent has missed two games with a nagging hip issue but is now in a spot where he's able to play. Fantasy managers should expect moderate production out of the 25-year-old who has struggled from the three point line, an area he's generally strong at. DFS managers willing to take a risk on a cheap option may find more value out of Trent tonight compared to fantasy managers in traditional leagues.

1 week agoNew York Knicks guard
Cameron Payne (hamstring) is active for Tuesday night's game against the Philadelphia 76ers. Payne has missed the last four games with a hamstring strain. He'll get a chance to make an impact against his former team on Tuesday, but he hasn't been productive while active. He's averaged just 5.6 PPG and is only shooting 36.4% from the field. Fantasy managers may need to approach Payne's active status with caution before putting him in their lineups. A better DFS option may be
Miles McBride who has averaged 11.2 PPG this season.

1 week agoNew York Knicks guard
Miles McBride (knee) is active for Tuesday night's game against the Philadelphia 76ers. McBride had been dealing with knee inflammation but will be able to tough it out in the Knicks' in-season tournament opener. McBride has averaged 11.2 PPG this season and will be a decent fantasy option on Tuesday. The 24-year-old will also have fellow guard
Cameron Payne active for the first time in four games but don't expect Payne's presence to result in decreased minutes or production for McBride. If DFS managers are looking to prioritize one or the other, McBride is the more reliable option.

1 week agoDallas Mavericks center
Dereck Lively II (shoulder) will make his return to the court ahead of Tuesday's game against the Golden State Warriors. The big man is ready to go after missing the last four games due to a shoulder sprain. The 20-year-old has been a solid contributor and figures to resume his role as primary backup center. He's averaging 9.3 points and 8.2 rebounds across 23 minutes per game this season. The return of Lively should mean that
Dwight Powell gets less time in the rotation.

1 week agoMilwaukee Bucks guard
Andre Jackson Jr. (hip) is available ahead of Tuesday's game against the Toronto Raptors. Both Jackson and
Gary Trent Jr. (back) are good to go after being listed as probable heading into this game. Jackson figures to return to the starting five, but has been quiet after the last few games. Trent hasn't been much better but both players should see significant minutes on Tuesday. They could see an uptick in value with
Damian Lillard (concussion) unavailable on Tuesday.
--Andy Webb - RotoBallerSource: Gabe Stoltz
1 week agoMilwaukee Bucks forward
Giannis Antetokounmpo (knee) is available ahead of Tuesday's game against the Toronto Raptors. As expected, Antetokounmpo will play after being listed as probable heading into this game. The Bucs are going to need him with
Damian Lillard (concussion) ruled out for this game. The expectation is that Antetokounmpo will take on a heavy workload on Tuesday. Fantasy managers should get him back in their lineups ahead of tip-off.

1 week agoCleveland Cavaliers center
Jarrett Allen (leg) is listed as questionable ahead of Wednesday's game against the Philadelphia 76ers. Allen finds himself on the injury report after a few rough performances. He is reportedly dealing with a lower leg strain which could be part of the reason he is struggling right now. It wouldn't be shocking to see the Cavs give Allen the day off to rest and get fully healthy. The Cavs would likely use a committee approach to fill the void if Allen misses time. That means,
Isaac Okoro,
Georges Niang, and
Dean Wade should all see more minutes in the rotation. Niang is probably the best streaming choice between the three if Allen is unable to play.

1 week agoCharlotte Hornets guard
Tre Mann (back) has been ruled out ahead of Tuesday's game against the Orlando Magic. Mann has been dealing with back soreness for a few days, so the team has decided to sit him and let him rest. The 23-year-old was limited to 15 minutes during Sunday's game against the Philadelphia 76ers. Before that, Mann was averaging over 25 minutes per game, so there is a significant void to fill in the rotation.
Vasilije Micic figures to move into the rotation and
Seth Curry will likely see more minutes in the rotation. Between the two, Curry is the much better streaming option for Tuesday's slate.

1 week agoCharlotte Hornets forward
Cody Martin (illness) is active for Charlotte's game on Tuesday against the Orlando Magic. Martin popped up on the injury report with an illness but feels good enough to play through it. The 29-year-old has averaged 9.9 PPG and 4.5 RPG to start this season. Expect Martin to continue to produce off the bench for the Hornets. Fantasy managers and DFS players should temper expectations for Martin against a stout Magic defense, though. Still ensure he's in your lineups as he will get 25 minutes of game action but his normal numbers may be muted.

1 week agoBoston Celtics forward/center
Al Horford (toe) will suit up for Tuesday's meeting with the Atlanta Hawks. He was listed as questionable because of a toe sprain. But the Celtics will have him on the court to begin the Emirates NBA cup. The 38-year-old isn't as productive as he once was, averaging 8.7 points, 5.7 rebounds, and 1.1 steals this season. But he's still a viable fantasy option in deeper setups, even more so in category formats due to his 43.5% shooting from behind the arc.

1 week agoBoston Celtics guard
Jaylen Brown (hip) is active for Tuesday night's game against the Atlanta Hawks and won't have any restrictions, per Celtics' coach Joe Mazzulla. Brown missed four games due to the hip issue but was able to play on Sunday against Milwaukee and is good to go for Boston's first game of the in-season tournament. Brown is a must-start in all fantasy formats. While there is a chance this game ends in a blowout with the Hawks missing
Trae Young, fantasy managers may not need to worry as much about Brown sitting out minutes to end the game. With the NBA Cup tiebreakers focused on margin of victory, Boston pushed leads last season and could be expected to do the same this year. Ensure Brown is in your starting lineups prior to the 7:10 PM ET tip-off.

1 week agoAccording to Boston Celtics head coach Joe Mazzulla, forward
Jayson Tatum (ankle) will play in Tuesday's game against the visiting Hawks. The multi-time All-Star was listed as questionable because of a sprained left ankle. However, that won't keep him off the floor on Tuesday night. Even better, he won't have any restrictions. Tatum has averaged 30.5 points, 7.6 rebounds, 5.0 assists, and 1.6 steals this season. But he could be even more productive versus a Hawks team that has allowed 121 points per game this season, the third-worst mark in the National Basketball Association.

1 week agoAccording to Philadelphia 76ers head coach Nick Nurse, center
Joel Embiid (knee, suspension) will play between 25-30 minutes in Tuesday's game against the New York Knicks. He hasn't played all season, so it will likely take him a few games before he logs his usual allotment of minutes. With that said, Embiid is still a must-start. However, there should still be room for
Andre Drummond to remain involved enough for fantasy managers to consider him a starting option in all formats.

1 week agoDetroit Pistons forward/center
Isaiah Stewart (ankle) is cleared to play in Tuesday's matchup against Miami. He was listed as probable, so there wasn't much doubt concerning his availability. Stewart has been getting some extra minutes while
Jalen Duren (ankle) was on the shelf the last two games. However, with Duren returning versus the Heat, Stewart's fantasy outlook isn't as favorable.
--Dennis Clausen - RotoBallerSource: NBA Injury Report
1 week agoDetroit Pistons center
Jalen Duren (ankle) will play on Tuesday against the Miami Heat. The 20-year-old tweaked his ankle during the November 6 meeting with the Charlotte Hornets and missed the last two games as a result. But now that Duren is back in the mix, fantasy managers can get him back in their starting lineups versus a Heat team that's struggled against opposing centers this season. With that in mind, his presence will result in fewer minutes for
Isaiah Stewart (ankle), who was also cleared to play.
