Miami Heat guard
Tyler Herro (ribs) is not ready to return to action and will miss an 11th straight game on Tuesday against the Atlanta Hawks. Herro is dealing with a costochondral injury to his ribs, and there haven't been any updates on him since he departed the lineup in mid-January. Fortunately for Miami,
Davion Mitchell was back in the lineup on Sunday against the Chicago Bulls, giving the backcourt a slight boost. Pelle Larrson has enjoyed a regular starting role during Herro's absence, producing back-to-back 20-point performances. He does plenty of work in other areas as well, making Larsson an attractive fantasy target.

Brooklyn Nets forward
Michael Porter Jr. (personal) will rejoin the action on Tuesday against the Los Angeles Lakers. Brooklyn's leading scorer missed a pair of games late last week for personal reasons, but the team has removed him from the injury report ahead of Tuesday's game.
Danny Wolf has enjoyed a stint as a starter, but he will likely return to the second unit on Tuesday, with
Noah Clowney (back) also expected to play. In his last outing, Porter Jr. had a special 38-point performance against his former team, the Denver Nuggets. He is averaging a career-high 25.8 points for the season, adding 7.3 rebounds, 3.2 assists, and 1.1 steals per game.

Phoenix Suns guard
Jalen Green (hamstring, hip) is listed as questionable for Tuesday's tilt against the Portland Trail Blazers. After battling a hamstring injury throughout the campaign, Green also sustained a left hip contusion last week and could be out for a second consecutive game. With
Devin Booker (ankle) also out of commission,
Dillon Brooks and
Grayson Allen led the offense in Sunday's defeat to the Los Angeles Clippers, scoring 45 of the team's 93 points. The backcourt injuries also allow
Collin Gillespie and
Jordan Goodwin to figure more prominently in the rotation.

Phoenix Suns guard
Devin Booker (ankle) will remain sidelined on Tuesday against the Portland Trail Blazers. He will miss a sixth consecutive game but could be an option later this week.
Dillon Brooks has been on a scoring tear during Booker's absence, with
Grayson Allen also benefiting from more offensive touches. At the same time,
Jordan Goodwin should maintain a significant role, particularly if
Jalen Green (hamstring, hip) is unable to return. The team has listed Green as questionable for Tuesday night.

Portland Trail Blazers forward
Deni Avdija (back) is considered doubtful for Tuesday's game against the Phoenix Suns. Portland's breakout star has battled a back issue recently, missing three of the last five games. On Tuesday night, Avdija could be absent for a second consecutive contest.
Jerami Grant was back among the starters on Sunday against Cleveland and looks set to remain in the first unit if Avdija doesn't return. Although Grant settled for 15 points on Sunday night, he has averaged 21.5 points per game as a starter across the season, along with 4.9 rebounds and 2.8 assists.

Philadelphia 76ers center
Joel Embiid (ankle) will play on Monday versus the Clippers. The multi-time All-Star carried a probable tag, so fantasy managers have been awaiting the official update regarding his availability. Embiid has played fantastic of late, most recently amassing 40 points, 11 boards, and two blocks while shooting 3-for-5 from deep in Saturday's win over the New Orleans Pelicans. That could continue on Monday night, especially with
Paul George (suspension) out of the mix.

Atlanta Hawks center
Onyeka Okongwu (mouth) won't play on Tuesday against Miami. The 25-year-old took an elbow to the mouth during the 117-106 loss to the Boston Celtics on January 28, costing him the following two contests. With
Kristaps Porzingis (Achilles) questionable, his return may help lessen the blow. However, even if Porzingis sheds the questionable tag,
Mouhamed Gueye, who had 15 points, four boards, three steals, and one block in the loss to Indiana on Saturday, should continue to hold a prominent role.

Houston Rockets forward
Kevin Durant (ankle) didn't suit up for Monday's matchup with Indiana. He tweaked his ankle during the 111-107 win over the Dallas Mavericks on Saturday. While the multi-time All-Star managed to finish the contest, residual swelling caused his absence on Monday night. Head coach Ime Udoka is hoping the injury won't keep him on the shelf for longer than one game, so fantasy managers might see him back on Wednesday against the visiting Boston Celtics. However, if Durant misses another one,
Reed Sheppard could remain in line to replace him in the rotation after entering the starting lineup versus the Pacers.

Atlanta Hawks center
Kristaps Porzingis (Achilles) is questionable for Tuesday's game against Miami. He hasn't played since the loss to New Orleans on January 7, missing the last 12 games. While the 30-year-old still could miss another contest, it at least seems he's moving in a positive direction regarding his return to the court. With
Onyeka Okongwu (mouth) out again, Porzingis would presumably be in line to re-enter the starting lineup. However, regardless of his role, he'll likely be limited. As a result,
Mouhamed Gueye, coming off a 15-point, four-rebound, three-steal, and one-block effort, should remain relevant for fantasy purposes.

Oklahoma City Thunder guard
Shai Gilgeous-Alexander (finger) is considered questionable for Tuesday's matchup with the Orlando Magic due to a sprained right index finger. Gilgeous-Alexander hasn't missed a game since Jan.9 and he's played in 48 of 50 Thunder contests so far this campaign. If the superstar guard is unable to suit up,
Isaiah Joe will be provided with a heavier workload, especially with
Ajay Mitchell (abdomen) already set to miss his sixth straight game due to an abdominal strain.

Dallas Mavericks forward/center
P.J. Washington (head) is unavailable for Tuesday's matchup with the Boston Celtics. The 27-year-old sustained a head contusion in Saturday's 111-107 loss to Houston and he is now in the league's concussion protocol. With Washington out of action, the Mavs will have to rely on
Naji Marshall and
Daniel Gafford in the frontcourt. Marshall has averaged 19.2 points, 8.0 rebounds, and 3.6 assists over his last five starts, while Gafford provides consistent rebounding and adequate scoring.

February 2, 2026
Minnesota Timberwolves forward
Julius Randle (thumb) is good to go for Monday's matchup with Memphis. Randle was listed on the injury report because of left thumb soreness, but he'll be out there on Monday night. The 31-year-old is having a fantastic 2025 campaign, averaging 22.3 points, 6.9 rebounds, 5.4 assists, and 1.2 steals. He might be even more productive versus a Grizzlies team that has allowed 116.6 points per game this season, one of the worst averages in the NBA.
--Dennis ClausenSource: Timberwolves PR
February 2, 2026
Minnesota Timberwolves guard
Anthony Edwards (back) is available to play in Monday's meeting with Memphis. Normally, he is listed on the injury report because of the familiar foot issue. However, Edwards was in danger of missing this one due to back spasms. Fortunately, that's not the case. Whith that said, he is in a fantastic position to exceed his usual statistical expectations versus a Grizzlies team that has allowed 116.6 points per game this season, one of the worst marks in the NBA.

February 2, 2026
Washington Wizards forward/center
Alexandre Sarr (calf) is available to suit up against the New York Knicks on Tuesday. Sarr will return after missing Sunday's contest against the Kings due to right calf soreness. Across 38 appearances this season, the 20-year-old big man is averaging 17.6 points, 7.7 rebounds, 2.8 assists and 2.1 blocks in 28.6 minutes per contest.
Marvin Bagley III will likely see his role reduced with Sarr back in action Tuesday evening.
--Andrew LennoxSource: NBA Injury Report
February 2, 2026
Chicago Bulls guard
Josh Giddey (hamstring) won't play in Tuesday's Central Division clash with the Milwaukee Bucks. He missed a few weeks because of a hamstring strain. While the 23-year-old appeared in some games since returning, he'll now miss his fourth-straight contest. It's been reported Giddey is improving, which is good. However, fantasy managers shouldn't rule out the chance that he could be out beyond the All-Star break. At any rate,
Ayo Dosunmu should be given an expanded role behind
Coby White,
Matas Buzelis, and
Nikola Vucevic while Giddey works his way back.
