2 weeks agoLos Angeles Clippers forward Kawhi Leonard (knee) will not suit up for Tuesday's game versus the Phoenix Suns. This will be his fifth straight game that he will be sidelined because of right knee inflammation. Leonard being on the injury report is nothing new, and as the playoffs approach, Clippers fans and fantasy managers can only hope this is not a serious injury. While he sits out, Los Angeles will likely lean on Norman Powell, Terance Mann, and Amir Coffey to take on more prominent roles.Source: NBA Injury Report
2 weeks agoGolden State Warriors forward Andrew Wiggins (ankle) is listed as probable ahead of Tuesday's game against the Los Angeles Lakers. Wiggins was a late scratch on Sunday due to a left ankle sprain. It sounds like it's a minor ankle issue, which is why Wiggins is considered probable for this contest. Trayce Jackson-Davis will likely be pushed back to the bench if Wiggins is available to play. Fantasy managers will have to check back on Tuesday for another update.Source: NBA Injury Report
2 weeks agoGolden State Warriors guard Stephen Curry (rest) is not listed on the injury report ahead of Tuesday's game against the Los Angeles Lakers. The veteran guard received a rest night on Sunday but appears to be refreshed and ready to go on Tuesday. Curry has been removed from the injury report which means he's expected to suit up. His return to the lineup will shift Chris Paul to the bench where he won't have as much streaming value.Source: NBA Injury Report
2 weeks agoSacramento Kings forward Keegan Murray (calf) is listed as questionable ahead of Tuesday's game against the Oklahoma City Thunder. Murray is dealing with left calf soreness, but he hasn't missed a game in nearly a month. If he sits, Trey Lyles and Kessler Edwards would likely be asked to play bigger roles. Neither of them are looking like viable streaming options with 14 games being played on Tuesday.Source: NBA Injury Report
2 weeks agoLos Angeles Lakers center Anthony Davis (eye) is considered questionable for Tuesday's contest versus the Golden State Warriors. The superstar only played 12 minutes in Sunday's game against the Minnesota Timberwolves because he suffered a left eye injury and could not return. Earlier reports sounded encouraging about his ability to suit up, but fantasy managers will want to check back before tip-off on Tuesday to confirm his status. The Lakers might be without LeBron James (illness), so having Davis on the court is vital for their success if they hope to move up the Western Conference standings before the regular season ends.Source: NBA Injury Report
2 weeks agoDenver Nuggets forward Aaron Gordon (foot) is listed as questionable ahead of Tuesday's game against the Utah Jazz. Gordon remains uncertain for this game after missing their last contest due to a right foot strain. Christian Braun moved into the starting five but didn't offer much upside during his 25 minutes of playing time. If Braun starts, fantasy managers should probably be able to find a better streaming option with Tuesday's huge slate.Source: NBA Injury Report
2 weeks agoNew Orleans Pelicans forward Naji Marshall (shoulder) is listed as doubtful ahead of Tuesday's game against the Portland Trail Blazers. He's expected to continue missing time due to a lingering right shoulder issue. The absence of Marshall should mean increased playing time for Larry Nance Jr. in the rotation. He played 32 minutes during their last game but normally plays minutes in the low 20s. He could be a possible dart throw in DFS contests for Tuesday's slate.Source: New Orleans Pelicans
2 weeks agoLos Angeles Lakers forward LeBron James (illness) is listed as questionable for Tuesday's game against the Golden State Warriors. The 39-year-old missed Sunday's game against the Minnesota Timberwolves because of flu-like symptoms. He could end up missing another contest if he is still under the weather, and his status will need to be monitored on game day. Anthony Davis (eye) is also considered questionable, and if both superstars are sidelined, the Lakers' depth would be tested. If James is unable to play, Spencer Dinwiddie would likely benefit, as he recorded 18 points, seven assists, and five rebounds in Sunday's game. Taurean Prince and Cam Reddish would also likely play a bigger role.Source: NBA Injury Report
2 weeks agoPortland Trail Blazers forward Jerami Grant (hamstring) is listed as doubtful ahead of Tuesday's game against the New Orleans Pelicans. At this point, the Blazers should rule out Grant for the season. This team isn't going to make the postseason, so they are highly unlikely to put Grant on the floor in a few meaningless games. Jabari Walker and Kris Murray are expected to continue starting at the forward spots until further notice.Source: Portland Trail Blazers
2 weeks agoPhoenix Suns center Jusuf Nurkic (ankle) is listed as questionable ahead of Tuesday's game against the Los Angeles Clippers. The big man was dealing with a calf issue, but now picked up an ankle injury. If he sits out, Drew Eubanks figures to move into the starting five. He hasn't exactly done much during his starts recently. Fantasy managers should be able to find a better streaming option on a 14-game slate.Source: NBA Injury Report
2 weeks agoDenver Nuggets center Nikola Jokic (hip) is probable ahead of Tuesday's game against Utah. He's been living on the injury report for the last few weeks. However, the Nuggets are still fighting for the No. 1 spot in the Western Conference, meaning the multi-time MVP should be on the floor. Jokic is having another fantastic year. He could also be in for a big night versus the Jazz, considering he won't have Walker Kessler (nose) or John Collins (back) to deal with.Source: NBA Injury Report
2 weeks agoToronto Raptors guard Immanuel Quickley won't play on Tuesday against Indiana. The 24-year-old has averaged a career-high 18.3 points in 36 games with the Raptors. But he's missed time due to injury, so he'll take the night off to rest. Without him on the floor, RJ Barrett and Gary Trent Jr. should lead the way on the scoring end. In addition, Gradey Dick (groin) and Kelly Olynyk could also see a substantial increase in fantasy production without Quickley in the mix.Source: NBA Injury Report
2 weeks agoMilwaukee Bucks forward Giannis Antetokounmpo (hamstring) is questionable for Tuesday's clash with the Boston Celtics. The multi-time MVP has been in and out of the lineup over the last few weeks because of left hamstring tendinopathy. However, he was on the floor for Sunday's loss to the Knicks and finished with 28 points, 15 rebounds, eight assists, and two blocks. With Milwaukee in danger of sliding down the Eastern Conference standings, Antetokounmpo will likely suit up for the must-win contest. But if he can't play, Khris Middleton (quad) and Damian Lillard will be locks for all DFS lineups. Bobby Portis could also see a surge in fantasy production if Antetokounmpo isn't available.Source: NBA Injury Report
2 weeks agoPhiladelphia 76ers forward Tobias Harris (knee) is questionable heading into Tuesday's game against the Pistons. The veteran has missed the Sixers' last three games because of a knee injury. But with a relatively easy matchup on the horizon, Harris could get another night off in preparation for the postseason. With Joel Embiid (knee) and Tyrese Maxey (hip) also on the injury report, Kelly Oubre Jr., Buddy Hield, and Paul Reed may find themselves as the top offensive options versus the 13-win Pistons.Source: NBA Injury Report
2 weeks agoPhiladelphia 76ers guard Tyrese Maxey (hip) is questionable for Tuesday's clash with the Pistons. With Joel Embiid (knee) and Tobias Harris (knee) sidelined for Sunday's double-overtime win over the Spurs, Maxey took advantage, finishing with a career-high 52 points. But with the Sixers a lock to at least make the Play-In, he might not be on the floor on Tuesday, especially with a 13-win opponent on tap. With that said, if Maxey sits this one out, Cameron Payne and Kyle Lowry (knee) could split time at the one, although neither player is a dependable DFS option.Source: NBA Injury Report
