Los Angeles Clippers forward
Kawhi Leonard (ankle) is listed as questionable for Wednesday's tilt against the Washington Wizards. Leonard has been a regular on the injury report lately due to an ankle injury, but he hasn't missed time since Nov. 22. After shaking off the questionable tag on Monday night, Leonard dropped 35 points on the Charlotte Hornets. If Leonard can't shed the questionable tag on Wednesday,
Nicolas Batum,
Kobe Sanders, and
Jordan Miller could see more action.

Portland Trail Blazers forward
Jerami Grant (Achilles) will remain out on Tuesday night against the Golden State Warriors. The team ruled Grant out for the contest after initially listing him as doubtful. Grant hasn't played since mid-December and will miss his 14th consecutive game due to left Achilles tendinitis.
Sidy Cissoko is poised to make another start in Grant's absence, while the entire group must also cover for
Deni Avdija (back) on Tuesday night. Grant's next chance to return will be on Thursday against the Atlanta Hawks.

Philadelphia 76ers guard
VJ Edgecombe (adductor) is on the injury report with a probable tag ahead of Tuesday's matchup against the Cleveland Cavaliers. The 20-year-old is dealing with a left adductor contusion, but the issue isn't expected to keep him off the floor against Cleveland. When these teams first faced off this season, Edgecombe managed only seven points in 37 minutes. The rookie has been going through growing pains all season, but his overall numbers are solid. Across 34 appearances, Edgecombe has averaged 16.1 points, 5.4 rebounds, 4.4 assists, and 1.6 steals.

Philadelphia 76ers guard/forward
Paul George (knee) is probable for Wednesday's matchup against the Cleveland Cavaliers. The veteran star has played in 10 of the last 11 games and is expected to suit up on Wednesday. George has struggled with his shot lately, averaging 15.5 points in January. Over his last two outings, George has connected on just 1-of-13 attempts from beyond the arc. On Wednesday night, George will be in a good spot to end his shooting slump, as teams are hitting a league-high 38.6 percent of their threes against the Cavaliers.

Philadelphia 76ers center
Joel Embiid (knee) is considered probable for Wednesday's meeting with the Cleveland Cavaliers. Embiid returned from a one-game absence in Monday's matchup against the Toronto Raptors and appears ready for a second consecutive appearance. On Monday, Embiid had seven turnovers in 36 minutes, but he also did plenty of positive things in a 115-102 victory. The former MVP posted 27 points and collected eight rebounds, along with four assists and two steals. Wednesday's matchup will be more difficult for Embiid, as Cleveland has limited centers to 19.9 points per game.

Dallas Mavericks forward/center
Anthony Davis (hand) will not require surgery on his injured left hand, the team announced on Tuesday. He is expected to "heal from the injury" in approximately six weeks. Davis was previously expected to undergo surgery, which would have sidelined him for "several months." Still, it's possible Davis has played his final game as a Maverick, with trade rumors surrounding him. With Davis out,
Daniel Gafford will continue to start at center, though he has also faced health issues in 2025-26.
Moussa Cisse and
Dwight Powell round out the remaining center options for Dallas.

According to Ira Winderman of the South Florida Sun Sentinel, Miami Heat guard/forward
Norman Powell (back) will play against the Phoenix Suns on Tuesday. Powell was sidelined for Sunday's 124-112 loss to the Thunder due to soreness in his lower back. With Powell active,
Pelle Larsson will return to Miami's second unit after stepping up while Powell was absent against OKC. The 24-year-old finished with 16 points, three rebounds, three assists, one steal and one block.

Oklahoma City Thunder guard/forward
Luguentz Dort (foot) won't play on Tuesday against the San Antonio Spurs. Dort is dealing with a sore left foot and will miss his 10th game of the season. The 26-year-old Canadian could see action versus the Rockets, barring any setbacks on Thursday. While Dort is sidelined during tonight's tilt,
Ajay Mitchell will likely see more minutes and could be an excellent option for fantasy managers.

Los Angeles Lakers center
Jaxson Hayes (hamstring) is unavailable for Tuesday's matchup with the Atlanta Hawks due to left hamstring soreness. The Lakers are being careful with Hayes and will have him sit out the second night of this back-to-back set. With Hayes out of action,
Deandre Ayton may take on extra minutes. At the same time,
Jarred Vanderbilt could have more opportunities to contribute than he usually does during this evening's clash in Los Angeles.

Brad Rowland of the Locked On Podcast Network reports that Atlanta Hawks guard
Luke Kennard (neck) won't play against the Los Angeles Lakers on Tuesday. Kennard is dealing with a neck sprain and will miss the second night of a back-to-back. The 29-year-old sharpshooter played 20 minutes on Sunday, finishing with 22 points and six three-pointers. With
CJ McCollum now with the Hawks and
Trae Young in Washington, Kennard's role is uncertain in the long run once he returns to action.

January 13, 2026
Los Angeles Lakers forward
LeBron James (foot/sciatica) is listed as questionable for Tuesday's matchup with the Atlanta Hawks. James could get the evening off due to managing soreness in his foot and back, as the Lakers are on the last set of back-to-back games. He finished with 22 points, four rebounds, three assists and one steal across 33 minutes during a 124-112 loss to Sacramento on Tuesday.
Luka Doncic (thigh/groin) is also in danger of missing the contest as he is dealing with a thigh and groin issue.

January 13, 2026
Brad Rowland of the Locked On Podcast Network reports that Atlanta Hawks forward
Zaccharie Risacher (knee) will miss his third consecutive contest on Tuesday due to a bone contusion in his left knee. 25-year-old
Vit Krejci has started in place of Risacher in the last two games. However, Krejci has provided minimal production for fantasy managers. Newly acquired
CJ McCollum may give the Hawks another option in Krejci's struggles during Riscacher's continued absence.

According to Dave McMenamin of ESPN.com, Los Angeles Lakers guard
Luka Doncic (thigh/groin) said he had treatment for his inner thigh/groin area during the second half in Monday's 124-112 loss to the Sacramento Kings. Doncic is unsure if he will be able to play through the injury against the Hawks this evening. Even with the setback, the star guard still put up 42 points, eight assists, seven rebounds, and four steals. If the 26-year-old is unable to suit up,
Jake LaRavia may be in line for extra minutes. Typically,
Rui Hachimura would play in place of Doncic, but his minutes will be limited as he returns from a calf injury that kept him sidelined for seven games.

Atlanta Hawks guard
Luke Kennard (neck) is questionable for Tuesday's matchup in Los Angeles against the Lakers, who are on the second night of a back-to-back. Kennard played 20 minutes on Sunday and had 22 points while knocking down six triples. He has scored at least eight points in each of his last seven games, averaging 13.1 points and 3.0 three-pointers per contest in 24.3 minutes per game over that stretch. With
CJ McCollum in the mix for the Hawks and
Trae Young in Washington, Kennard's role is uncertain, but he can be a solid source of points and threes if he gets opportunities.

New Orleans Pelicans forward
Saddiq Bey (hip) was originally listed as doubtful, upgraded to questionable, and is now all the way up to probable for Tuesday's clash against the Denver Nuggets. He has missed the last six games since straining his right hip flexor on Dec. 31 against the Bulls. Before the injury, Bey was putting up good numbers for the Pels, averaging 15.1 points, 5.9 rebounds, 2.3 assists, and 0.9 steals in 29.9 minutes per game. His return will likely reduce the role of
Bryce McGowens, who has struggled in his absence.
