Los Angeles Lakers forward/center
Maxi Kleber (back) will not play Tuesday against the Timberwolves after being listed late on the injury report with a lumbar strain. Kleber has held a modest reserve role this season, averaging around 11 minutes per game, so the direct fantasy fallout is limited.
Jarred Vanderbilt is the most likely beneficiary and could see a small uptick in minutes in the Lakers' frontcourt rotation. Vanderbilt logged 11 minutes in the previous game, finishing with three points, two rebounds, one assist, and one block.
Deandre Ayton and
Rui Hachimura should continue handling most of the frontcourt workload.

Miami Heat forward/center
Bam Adebayo delivered a historic performance against the Wizards, erupting for 83 points while shooting 20-for-43 from the field, 7-for-22 from three-point range, and 36-for-43 at the free-throw line. The 28-year-old's scoring total ranks second all time behind Wilt Chamberlain's 100 and ahead of Kobe Bryant's 81. Adebayo also dominated usage throughout the night and could continue carrying Miami's offense if
Tyler Herro (quadriceps),
Norman Powell (groin), and
Andrew Wiggins (toe) remain limited by injuries. His massive workload caps the value of secondary options like
Jaime Jaquez Jr. and
Kel'el Ware (shoulder).

Philadelphia 76ers guard
Cameron Payne delivered a massive outing in Tuesday's 139-129 win over the Grizzlies, finishing with 32 points, 10 assists, three rebounds, two steals, and two blocks in 30 minutes. With
Tyrese Maxey (finger) expected to miss multiple weeks due to a finger tendon injury, Payne stepped into a larger offensive role and responded with a near-perfect shooting night, hitting nine of 10 shots while draining eight three-pointers and converting all six free throws. Whether he starts or continues leading the second unit behind
Quentin Grimes and
VJ Edgecombe, Payne now projects as a strong short-term fantasy pickup.

Los Angeles Lakers forward
LeBron James (hip) will miss Tuesday's matchup against the Timberwolves, marking his third straight absence while dealing with a right hip contusion and arthritis in his left foot. With the 41-year-old sidelined,
Rui Hachimura should continue to handle heavier minutes after starting and logging 37 minutes with 13 points, three three-pointers, seven rebounds, and two assists in the win over the Knicks.
Jarred Vanderbilt could also see a slight uptick after posting three points, two rebounds, one assist, and one block in 11 minutes last game. Hachimura is the safer play for fantasy managers, while Vanderbilt is more of a deep-league gamble.

Golden State Warriors forward/center
Draymond Green (back) will play Tuesday against the Bulls after previously being listed with lower back injury management. The veteran has produced modest but steady lines recently, averaging 8.6 points, 3.8 rebounds, 7.2 assists, and 1.6 three-pointers over his last five games while logging about 31 minutes per night. Green's value remains tied to assists and defensive production rather than scoring, making him more useful in category formats than points leagues. His return also tightens the frontcourt rotation, likely capping the minutes ceiling for
Kristaps Porzingis,
Al Horford, and
Gui Santos.

Golden State Warriors guard
De'Anthony Melton (thigh) is out for Tuesday's matchup against the Bulls after the team initially considered using him in the second leg of the back-to-back. With Melton and
Moses Moody (wrist) unavailable, Golden State should spread extra wing minutes across
Gary Payton II,
Will Richard, and reserve guard
Pat Spencer. Payton logged 13 points, one three-pointer, one rebound, and one steal in 26 minutes in the loss to Utah, while Richard previously flashed upside with 21 points, two triples, five rebounds, six assists, and three steals in a February start. Spencer added four rebounds, two assists, and one steal in 13 minutes last game. All three are risky deep-league streamers since their minutes could swing from night to night.

Toronto Raptors center
Jakob Poeltl (illness) has been ruled out ahead of Tuesday's game against the Houston Rockets. This is tough news for the Raptors, with
Collin Murray-Boyles (thumb) also sidelined. Fantasy managers will need to check back on Wednesday to see if Poeltl can return for the second leg of the back-to-back set.
Sandro Mamukelashvili should take on a heavier role with Poeltl out for this game. He's worth a look as a streaming option in most fantasy formats while the Raptors are shorthanded.
Jonathan Mogbo could see increased minutes as well, but Mamukelashvili is the primary add here.

March 10, 2026
Phoenix Suns guard
Grayson Allen (knee) is available to play ahead of Tuesday's game against the Milwaukee Bucks. Allen is back in the mix after sitting out Sunday's game due to a knee injury. His absence could've been for rest purposes with Allen playing heavy minutes lately. His return to the rotation should mean a reduced role for
Haywood Highsmith. Allen has been a solid source of points since returning from injury in late February. Fantasy managers can get him active in their lineups ahead of tip-off.
--Andy WebbSource: NBA Injury Report
March 10, 2026
Brooklyn Nets center
Day'Ron Sharpe (thumb) has been ruled out ahead of Tuesday's game against the Detroit Pistons. Sharpe will make his first absence since mid-January while he deals with a thumb sprain.
Nicolas Claxton could see an increased role as the starting center without Sharpe available. Also,
Danny Wolf and
Ochai Agbaji are likely to see more minutes during Tuesday's game. Claxton is the best fantasy option here, but Wolf and Agbaji are decent streaming choices with Sharpe and
Ziaire Williams (illness) out.
--Andy WebbSource: NBA Injury Report
March 10, 2026
Milwaukee Bucks forward/center
Bobby Portis (back) is ruled out ahead of Tuesday's game against the Phoenix Suns. He wasn't on the initial injury report, but will ultimately sit out due to a back contusion. The Bucks are going to be thin at the center spot with
Jericho Sims (knee) also sidelined. The absence of these two should mean
Pete Nance will fill in as the primary backup to
Myles Turner. Nance finished with six points, three rebounds, and two steals across 22 minutes on Sunday. He'll offer some deep league value with the Bucks being shorthanded on Tuesday.
--Andy WebbSource: NBA Injury Report
March 10, 2026
Brooklyn Nets forward
Michael Porter Jr. (rest) is back in the mix ahead of Tuesday's game against the Detroit Pistons. Porter is returning to the rotation after sitting out Monday's game for rest purposes. Over his last 10 games, Porter is averaging 21.5 points, 7.1 rebounds, and 2.7 assists across 31.5 minutes per game. Porter has scored nearly 50 total points with 26 rebounds over his last two games. Fantasy managers should double-check their lineups and make sure he's in there ahead of tip-off. The return of Porter should mean reduced roles for
Danny Wolf and possibly
Ochai Agbaji.
--Andy WebbSource: NBA Injury Report
March 10, 2026
Boston Celtics guard
Payton Pritchard (neck) has been ruled out ahead of Tuesday's game against the San Antonio Spurs. He's dealing with a lingering neck issue, and this will be his first absence since mid-January. The absence of Pritchard should open up playing time for
Baylor Scheierman, Huge Gonzalez, and
Sam Hauser. Scheierman is coming off a solid double-double performance during Sunday's game. He's worth a look as a streaming choice without Pritchard available. Also, Hauser has been a consistent contributor and is worth a look as well for fantasy managers seeking help ahead of Tuesday's slate.
--Andy WebbSource: NBA Injury Report
March 10, 2026
Miami Heat guard
Tyler Herro (quad) has been downgraded to out ahead of Tuesday's game against the Washington Wizards. He was a late addition to the injury report due to a quad issue that will ultimately force him to miss this game. His absence should mean increased playing time for
Pelle Larsson,
Jaime Jaquez Jr., and
Myron Gardner. Among the three players, Jaquez is the best fantasy option, with the two others being viewed as possible deep league options.
--Andy WebbSource: Ira Winderman
March 10, 2026
Philadelphia 76ers guard
Tyrese Maxey (finger) is set to miss significant time after suffering an injury during Saturday's game. Maxey has been diagnosed with a tendon injury in his right pinky finger. The superstar guard will be shut down and re-evaluated in three weeks. The plan is for Maxey to be re-evaluated on March 31, so fantasy managers won't have him through much of the fantasy playoffs.
VJ Edgecombe should move into the starting point guard role with Maxey sidelined. Edgecombe should be rostered and started in basically all fantasy formats, while
Cameron Payne could offer deep league value as his backup.
--Andy WebbSource: Shams Charania
March 10, 2026
Kyle Neubeck of AllPHLY.com reports that Philadelphia 76ers guard
VJ Edgecombe (back) is available to play on Tuesday against the Memphis Grizzlies. Edgecombe previously carried a questionable tag, but he has since been cleared to play after missing three straight games due to a lumbar contusion. In his return, the 20-year-old rookie is expected to carry a heavier workload with
Tyrese Maxey (finger) out this evening.
