Trae Young Tagged As Probable For Tuesday
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.Source: NBA Injury Report
Atlanta Hawks point guard Miles McBride Likely To Play Against Celtics
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.Source: NBA Injury Report
New York Knicks guard Jalen Brunson Probable For Tuesday Evening
Jalen Brunson (ankle) is expected to play on Tuesday against the Celtics. He missed a month of action after spraining his ankle during the March 6 loss to the Lakers. Fortunately, the All-Star was cleared to return for Sunday's win over the Suns, finishing with 15 points and six rebounds. It will likely take him another game or two to shake off any residual rust. As such, Brunson may not be the safest option for DFS managers despite the obvious upside.Source: NBA Injury Report
New York Knicks guard Gabe Vincent Questionable With Knee Issue
Gabe Vincent (knee) is considered questionable for Tuesday's matchup against the Oklahoma City Thunder. He has been listed on the injury report with left knee effusion. If he can't shake off the questionable tag, Vincent would miss only his second game since the beginning of February. The backcourt may also be without Luka Doncic (groin) and Austin Reaves (ankle) on Tuesday night, freeing up a lot of playing time for the likes of Shake Milton, Jordan Goodwin, and Dalton Knecht.Source: NBA Injury Report
Los Angeles Lakers guard Jrue Holiday Probable For Tuesday Night
Jrue Holiday (shoulder) is probable for Tuesday's encounter with the New York Knicks. The veteran continues to battle a right shoulder issue. However, it likely won't keep him off the floor on Tuesday night. Holiday has averaged 16.0 points, 4.0 rebounds, and 3.0 assists in two meetings with the Knicks this season. But Kristaps Porzingis (illness), Jayson Tatum (ankle), and Jaylen Brown (knee) are questionable, so there's a chance Holiday may see an uptick in scoring chances, assuming he's good to go.Source: NBA Injury Report
Boston Celtics guard Dorian Finney-Smith Questionable To Play Tuesday
Dorian Finney-Smith (ankle) is on the injury report with a questionable designation ahead of Tuesday's encounter against the Oklahoma City Thunder. He could be absent from the lineup for the first time since March 20. However, Finney-Smith does not appear to be dealing with anything serious, with the team listing his injury as left ankle effusion. The Lakers may simply look to manage Finney-Smith's workload, as another game is scheduled for Wednesday night against the Dallas Mavericks. Jarred Vanderbilt might see more burn in the frontcourt in Tuesday's game, and there may even be another Markieff Morris sighting, considering Jaxson Hayes could be the only regular starter in the lineup.Source: NBA Injury Report
Los Angeles Lakers forward/center Rui Hachimura Out Against Thunder
Rui Hachimura (knee) will not be in action on Tuesday against the Oklahoma City Thunder. He is managing a knee issue and will be held out of the first leg of a back-to-back. There is a strong chance Hachimura will rejoin the lineup for Wednesday's matchup against the Dallas Mavericks. Hachimura's absence opens up a starting spot for Tuesday's game, but there are many uncertainties surrounding the Lakers squad, with half of the team listed on the injury report.Source: NBA Injury Report
Los Angeles Lakers forward Derrick White Expected To Suit Up Versus New York
Derrick White (toe) is probable for Tuesday's game against the Knicks. The toe injury is nothing new. Fortunately, he hasn't missed a game since March 15. White has averaged 20.0 points, 5.0 rebounds, and 5.0 assists in three meetings with New York this season. However, with Jayson Tatum (ankle), Kristaps Porzingis (illness), and Jaylen Brown (knee) questionable, White may be even more potent on the scoring end, assuming he's cleared to play.Source: NBA Injury Report
Boston Celtics guard Austin Reaves Uncertain For Tuesday's Action
Austin Reaves (ankle) may exit the lineup for Tuesday's game against the Oklahoma City Thunder, as the team has listed him as questionable on the injury report. Reaves has sprained his right ankle, which might cost him his fourth game since the start of March. The Lakers have a lengthy injury list, which includes LeBron James (groin) and Luka Doncic (groin), so the team may have a completely different look in Tuesday's contest. However, the squad could return to near full strength for the second leg of a back-to-back on Wednesday night against the Dallas Mavericks.Source: NBA Injury Report
Los Angeles Lakers guard Al Horford Won't Play On Tuesday
Al Horford (knee) won't play on Tuesday versus the Knicks. Horford got the start in Sunday's win over the Washington Wizards, amassing an 11-point, 10-rebound double-double. With Kristaps Porzingis (illness) questionable, Horford would have been in line to remain in the starting lineup. However, if Porzingis can't suit up, Luke Kornet, who had 13 points and 14 rebounds on Sunday, will be a popular DFS value option.Source: NBA Injury Report
Boston Celtics forward/center LeBron James Listed As Questionable For Tuesday
LeBron James (groin) is considered questionable for the first leg of a back-to-back on Tuesday against the Oklahoma City Thunder. The four-time MVP is managing a groin injury, which sidelined him for seven games last month. Since his return to the lineup, James has played in all nine games. Luka Doncic (groin) and Austin Reaves (ankle) are also iffy for Tuesday's game, meaning players such as Jordan Goodwin and Dalton Knecht may have much larger roles to play.Source: NBA Injury Report
Los Angeles Lakers forward Kristaps Porzingis On The Injury Report For Tuesday
Kristaps Porzingis (illness) is questionable for Tuesday's clash with the Knicks, his former team. The 29-year-old has battled an illness for a large portion of the 2024-25 campaign. However, it most recently kept him off the floor for Sunday's blowout win over the Washington Wizards. Luke Kornet got the start, finishing with 13 points and 14 rebounds. With Al Horford (knee) already ruled out, Kornet should get more minutes than usual. However, Kornet's fantasy ceiling will increase even more if Porzingis can't suit up.Source: NBA Injury Report
Boston Celtics center Luka Doncic Iffy For Tuesday
Luka Doncic (groin) is listed as questionable for Tuesday's showdown against the Oklahoma City Thunder. He has been added to the injury report with a right groin strain and may take some time off to rest as the Lakers begin another back-to-back on Tuesday night. LeBron James (groin) and Austin Reaves (ankle) are also on the report as questionable, so the Lakers' bench may have a big role to play against the Thunder.Source: NBA Injury Report
Los Angeles Lakers point guard Pat Connaughton Questionable For Tuesday's Game
Pat Connaughton (ankle) is considered questionable for Tuesday's matchup against the Minnesota Timberwolves. After making four consecutive appearances, Connaughton was unavailable for Sunday's meeting with the New Orleans Pelicans due to a right ankle sprain. He may now have to sit out another contest because of the ailment. Connaughton has averaged only 4.3 points and 2.5 rebounds in 14.2 minutes per game this season, so his absence is not a big deal for the Bucks.Source: NBA Injury Report
Milwaukee Bucks guard/forward Jaylen Brown Uncertain To Face The Knicks
Jaylen Brown (knee) is questionable heading into Tuesday's showdown with the Knicks. This Injury has already cost him a few games. Fortunately, he was able to suit up for Sunday's blowout win over the Washington Wizards, finishing with 15 points and five assists in 21 minutes. Al Horford (knee) has already been ruled out, and Jayson Tatum (ankle) and Kristaps Porzingis (illness) are questionable. As such, there are plenty of guys who can step into the starting lineup, although Payton Pritchard, Sam Hauser, and Luke Kornet are the favorites to do something meaningful for fantasy managers.Source: NBA Injury Report
