San Antonio Spurs forward
Harrison Barnes will enter the starting lineup Tuesday with
Devin Vassell (ankle) sidelined. Barnes has shown modest upside in previous starts, including a 19-point outing with five three-pointers in 35 minutes earlier this season, giving him some deep-league appeal for threes and points. His value remains matchup dependent, but the increased minutes help his streaming case.
Julian Champagnie and
Keldon Johnson could also see slightly larger roles, while Barnes remains a low-priority option outside deeper category formats.

Sacramento Kings guard
Malik Monk (ankle) will miss Tuesday's game against the Spurs, marking his fourth straight absence due to a right ankle sprain.
Daeqwon Plowden should continue seeing an extended run after logging 10 points, four rebounds, two assists, and two steals in 31 minutes last game, making him a viable deep-league streamer for steals and threes.
Russell Westbrook and
DeMar DeRozan should continue handling most of the backcourt usage, while
Nique Clifford could also maintain a stable role.

March 17, 2026
Los Angeles Clippers guard/forward
Bennedict Mathurin (toe) will miss the team's three-game road trip as he continues treatment, with a chance to return early next week. His absence should keep
John Collins and
Derrick Jones Jr. in steady roles. Collins finished with 11 points, nine rebounds, and four assists in 26 minutes last game and offers short-term value for rebounds and scoring. Jones chipped in 10 points with two threes and a block in 24 minutes and can help in threes and defensive stats. Mathurin is still worth holding if you have the bench space.

Detroit Pistons guard
Cade Cunningham (back) will not return to Tuesday's game against Washington after experiencing back spasms in the opening minutes, finishing with six points, two rebounds, and one steal in five minutes. His absence should open short-term opportunities for
Marcus Sasser and
Caris LeVert, with Sasser offering scoring and assists upside in deeper leagues.
Daniss Jenkins could also see extra run as a speculative deep-league option. Cunningham should be considered day-to-day, while
Jalen Duren and
Tobias Harris may also take on more offensive responsibility if he misses more time.

March 17, 2026
Milwaukee Bucks guard
Ryan Rollins (illness) is available for Tuesday's game against Cleveland after being a late addition to the injury report. With
Giannis Antetokounmpo (knee) sidelined, Rollins should continue seeing meaningful on-ball opportunities after producing 20 points, seven assists, three steals, and three three-pointers in 37 minutes last game.
Kevin Porter Jr.'s return could cap some of that upside, but Rollins still profiles as a viable assists and steals streamer.
Bobby Portis and
Kyle Kuzma should also remain involved offensively, while Rollins holds value in deeper formats while starting.

March 17, 2026
Milwaukee Bucks forward
Giannis Antetokounmpo (knee) is expected to miss multiple games after being diagnosed with a left knee hyperextension and bone bruise, with a re-evaluation set for next week.
Bobby Portis could see a major offensive bump after erupting for 29 points, 10 rebounds, three assists, and two steals in 27 minutes last game, making him a strong points and rebounds streamer.
Ryan Rollins also stepped up with 20 points and seven assists in 37 minutes and remains a viable assist target.
Kevin Porter Jr. and
Kyle Kuzma should continue seeing added usage while Antetokounmpo is sidelined.

March 17, 2026
Phoenix Suns guard/forward
Grayson Allen (knee) will not play Tuesday against the Timberwolves due to left knee soreness, with the team targeting a potential return Thursday. His absence should open rotation minutes for
Collin Gillespie,
Jordan Goodwin, and Royce O'Neale. Goodwin logged 24 minutes with six points, five rebounds, four assists, and two steals last game, making him a deep-league steals and assists streamer. Gillespie and O'Neale also remain low-end streaming options for managers needing threes or defensive stats. Allen is averaging 29.8 minutes with a 23.9 usage rate, though managers in the fantasy playoffs may need to prioritize available players if roster spots are tight.
--Brian DailisanSource: NBA Injury Report
March 17, 2026
Cleveland Cavaliers guard/forward
Jaylon Tyson (ankle) is available to play ahead of Tuesday's game against the Milwaukee Bucks. Tyson is back in the mix following a one-game absence due to left ankle soreness. He has been playing off the bench recently, and that'll likely remain the case with
Sam Merrill (hamstring) available on Tuesday. Over the last four games, Tyson is averaging 7.8 points, 2.8 rebounds, and 1.8 assists in 21. 0 minutes per game. He's not the most consistent player on the planet, but Tyson is at least worth rostering in deep leagues.

March 17, 2026
Milwaukee Bucks center
Myles Turner (calf) has been ruled out ahead of Tuesday's game against the Cleveland Cavaliers. Turner has been dealing with a lingering knee issue, but will actually sit this game out due to a calf injury. The Bucks are going to be thin with
Giannis Antetokounmpo (knee) also sidelined for this game.
Bobby Portis should play a significant role, with
Jericho Sims and
Pete Nance also seeing more action on the court. Portis is looking like a must-start, while Sims and Nance are viewed as deep league options.
--Andy WebbSource: NBA Injury Report
March 17, 2026
Indiana Pacers guard/forward
Aaron Nesmith (ankle) is available to play ahead of Tuesday's game against the New York Knicks. Nesmith was questionable for the front end of this back-to-back set, but will ultimately play. He finished with 32 points, including seven three-pointers in Sunday's game against the Milwaukee Bucks. He's unlikely to do that again, but Nesmith remains a viable and consistent enough fantasy option to trust right now. Fantasy managers can get him active in their lineups ahead of tip-off.
--Andy WebbSource: NBA Injury Report
March 17, 2026
Indiana Pacers guard
Andrew Nembhard (calf) has been ruled out ahead of Tuesday's game against the New York Knicks. Nembhard will miss his second straight game due to a bruised right calf. The expectation is that
T.J. McConnell will move into the starting five once again. McConnell finished with nine points and 11 assists across 28 minutes of action on Sunday. He figures to play a similar role on Tuesday, which should make McConnell a viable streaming option.
--Andy WebbSource: NBA Injury Report
March 17, 2026
Indiana Pacers center
Ivica Zubac (ankle) has been upgraded to available ahead of Tuesday's game against the New York Knicks. He was tagged as questionable coming into the game due to a left ankle sprain. Despite the issue, Zubac is ready to go and will suit up for Tuesday's contest. He's averaging 9.7 points, 7.0 rebounds, and 1.7 assists across three games with the Pacers. When healthy, Zubac is a consistent contributor who should be rostered and started in most fantasy formats. He could be asked to do more on offense with
Pascal Siakam (knee) still sidelined.
--Andy WebbSource: NBA Injury Report
March 17, 2026
Indiana Pacers forward/center
Pascal Siakam (knee) has been ruled out ahead of Tuesday's game against the New York Knicks. Siakam is set to miss his fifth straight game due to a right knee sprain. His next chance to play will come on Wednesday versus the Portland Trail Blazers. Without Siakam available,
Obi Toppin,
Kobe Brown, and
Micah Potter should all see increased roles in the rotation. Among the three, Toppin is probably the best of the bunch, but none of the players are anything more than deep league options.
--Andy WebbSource: NBA Injury Report
March 17, 2026
New York Knicks center
Mitchell Robinson (back) has been upgraded to available ahead of Tuesday's game against the Indiana Pacers. He was initially tagged as questionable for this contest, but Robinson is feeling good enough to play.
Karl-Anthony Towns is active as well, so Robinson will resume his role as the primary backup center. Robinson is an elite rebounder and excellent at blocking shots, but doesn't offer a ton of upside outside of that. Fantasy managers can feel safe getting Robinson back in their lineups ahead of tip-off.
--Andy WebbSource: NBA Injury Report
March 17, 2026
New York Knicks guard
Jalen Brunson (ankle) has been downgraded to out ahead of Tuesday's game against the Indiana Pacers. He started the day off as questionable, but has been downgraded all the way to out. This is obviously a tough blow to fantasy managers with Brunson's next chance to play not coming until Friday against the Nets. The absence of Brunson should mean increased playing time for
Jose Alvarado,
Landry Shamet, and possibly
Tyler Kolek. Shamet is the best streaming choice among the three guards due to his ability to shoot the three-ball.
