1 week agoAccording to Jovan Buha of The Athletic, Los Angeles Lakers guard
Gabe Vincent (oblique) will likely play against the Dallas Mavericks on Tuesday. Vincent was previously listed as questionable, but he's since been upgraded to probable. The 28-year-old had previously missed four games in a row due to an oblique injury. He's struggled this season, shooting 33.0 percent from three-point range, and if available this evening, Vincent won't make much of an impact in fantasy.

1 week agoPhiladelphia 76ers guard
Kyle Lowry (hip) will miss a second straight game on Wednesday after being listed out along with
Joel Embiid (foot) and
Paul George (groin). Without two of their three superstars, the Sixers will have to lean heavily on
Tyrese Maxey. Lowry won't be available to work with Maxey in the backcourt, leaving
Reggie Jackson,
Eric Gordon, and Jeff Dowtin as the main guard depth options available. Maxey played 44 minutes with Lowry out on Monday, finishing with an impressive stat line of 31 points, 10 assists, and two steals. With limited options once again on Wednesday, he's likely to be very busy in a favorable matchup against the Wizards.

1 week agoJovan Buha of The Athletic reports that Los Angeles Lakers guard/forward
Cam Reddish (back) has been downgraded to doubtful for Tuesday's matchup with the Dallas Mavericks. Reddish was listed as questionable early in the day, but it appears he will likely not suit up. If it turns out the 25-year-old is unable to play,
Dorian Finney-Smith and
Dalton Knecht will take on extra minutes on Tuesday.

1 week agoPhiladelphia 76ers forward
Paul George has played in 14 straight games, but that streak will come to an end on Wednesday against the Wizards since he was listed as out due to left groin tightness. George played 38 minutes on Monday in the Sixers' loss to the Suns and finished with 13 points, nine rebounds, and five steals. He and
Joel Embiid (foot) will both be sidelined, leaving plenty of work for
Tyrese Maxey in a smash spot against the Wizards. When George missed time earlier this season, Kelly Oubre and
Caleb Martin were more involved, but both were already in the starting five on Monday.
Eric Gordon and
Ricky Council IV could get more work in George's place on Wednesday, but Maxey will have to step in and carry most of the offense, which he has proven he can do regularly so far this season.

1 week agoPhiladelphia 76ers center
Andre Drummond (toe) could be returning to a big role on Wednesday against the Wizards since fellow center
Joel Embiid (foot) was listed as out. Drummond has started 14 games this season, averaging 8.1 points, 10.1 rebounds, and 24.2 minutes in those contests. He'll be an interesting option for DFS and streaming if he does get the start in place of Embiid, but if he misses another game with his sprained toe,
Guerschon Yabusele could be set for a second straight start. On Monday in the Sixers' 10-point loss, Yabusele played 36 minutes with Drummond and Embiid both out and racked up 14 points and 10 rebounds. The Wizards have been a very favorable matchup for centers, so either Drummond or Yabusele will have a good ceiling on Wednesday.

1 week agoThe New Orleans Pelicans announced forward
Zion Williamson (hamstring) will return against the Minnesota Timberwolves on Tuesday. After recovering from a hamstring strain, Williamson will see his first action since Nov. 6. He looked good during the early parts of the season before getting injured, registering 22.7 points, 8.0 rebounds, 5.3 assists, and 1.2 blocks in six contests. Fantasy managers should expect the 24-year-old to see limited minutes initially since he's been out for over two months.

1 week agoGolden State Warriors guard
Brandin Podziemski (abdomen) will miss a fifth straight game on Tuesday night when the Warriors host the Heat. Podziemski had played 30 of 31 games before his current issue and was averaging 9.1 points, 4.5 rebounds, 3.0 assists, and 25.3 minutes per game in his 11 games before leaving early with an injury against the Suns on December 28. While Podziemski is out, there will continue to be extra work for
Moses Moody and
Buddy Hield. The Warriors next game and Podziemski's next chance to return will be Thursday against the Pistons.

1 week agoNew Orleans Pelicans guard/forward
Trey Murphy III (ankle) will not suit up for Tuesday's contest against Minnesota. He injured his left ankle on Sunday against Washington and will sit out at least one game. However, Murphy III is expected to make a quick return, as the team considers him day-to-day.
Brandon Boston Jr. and
Jordan Hawkins might play larger roles in the rotation with Murphy III out, although this will depend on
Zion Williamson's (hamstring) status. The high-flying star is on track to return to action this week and has been listed as questionable for Tuesday's game.

1 week agoNew Orleans Pelicans guard
Dejounte Murray (elbow) is questionable to face Minnesota on Tuesday. He has injured his right elbow. However, the injury didn't keep Murray from posting his first triple-double of the season in Sunday's matchup against Washington, so there should be a good chance he will remain in the lineup.
Jose Alvarado and
Brandon Boston Jr. will be in line to receive additional work if Murray can't play against the Timberwolves. Both players have had strong outings in 2024-25 but haven't performed consistently, making them risky options for fantasy managers.

1 week agoNew Orleans Pelicans forward
Zion Williamson (hamstring) has been listed as questionable for Tuesday's meeting with Minnesota. After recovering from a hamstring strain, Williamson could see his first action since Nov. 6. Williamson looked good during the early parts of the season before getting hurt. He posted 22.7 points, 8.0 rebounds, 5.3 assists, and 1.2 blocks across six games. Considering he's been out for two months, it seems almost certain that Williamson will only be given limited work initially, so fantasy managers should temper their expectations for the first few games.

1 week agoAtlanta Hawks guard/forward
Bogdan Bogdanovic (lower leg) will likely return to action against Utah on Tuesday, as the team has listed him as probable on the injury report. Having recently returned from a lower leg injury, Bogdanovic sat out the second leg of a back-to-back on Saturday against the Clippers. With Bogdanovic's return,
Garrison Mathews and
Vit Krejci will lose fantasy appeal, although neither player has offered consistent fantasy value. The Hawks face an excellent fantasy matchup on Tuesday, as the Jazz have the league's worst defensive rating (118.3).

1 week agoAtlanta Hawks point guard
Trae Young (Achilles) is probable for Tuesday's contest against Utah. An Achilles issue has accompanied him throughout the season, but it doesn't appear to be serious, as Young has sat out for just two games. He has also shaken off a hand contusion, which gave Young a questionable designation ahead of Saturday's game against the Clippers. It's been a big campaign for Young, who averages 22.5 points and 12.0 assists with 1.3 steals. He is in a smash spot against the Jazz, who allow the second-most fantasy points in the league to opposing point guards.

1 week agoLos Angeles Lakers forward/center
Anthony Davis (foot) has been listed as probable for Tuesday's game against Dallas. Davis missed one game due to an ankle injury last week, but he's currently on the injury report with left plantar fasciitis, which he has carried throughout the season. The foot problem hasn't really impact
Ed Davis, who has sat out just two games over the course of the season and is averaging 26.0 points with 11.8 rebounds, 3.5 assists, 2.2 blocks, and 1.3 steals. Davis will face a weak Mavericks squad, which has lost several players to injuries.
--Taavi Pailk - RotoBallerSource: NBA Injury Report
1 week agoLos Angeles Lakers forward
LeBron James (foot) is considered probable to play against Dallas on Tuesday. The legendary forward continues to manage a left foot injury, but it doesn't appear to be holding him back. James suited up for every game when the Lakers had three outings in four nights to close out last week. He was close to logging a triple-double on Sunday versus Houston and has put up 30 points several times recently. An injury-hit Mavericks team likely will not have the tools to slow down James.
