Ziaire Williams Moves into Starting Five
Brooklyn Nets forward Ziaire Williams will shift back into the starting five ahead of Tuesday's game against the Charlotte Hornets. Williams is back in the rotation after sitting out Sunday's game due to a coach's decision. Williams will move back into the starting five with Terance Mann (Achilles) unavailable on Tuesday. Williams has scored 16 points or more in five straight games before getting benched on Sunday. When active, Williams is a decent streaming option and figures to play 20-plus minutes in the rotation without Mann available.

Duncan Robinson Active Vs. Toronto
Detroit Pistons guard/forward Duncan Robinson (hip) will play Tuesday against Toronto after sitting out one game with right hip soreness. The veteran sharpshooter has averaged 12.8 points, 3.4 three-pointers, 3.0 rebounds, and 2.4 assists in 28.0 minutes over his last five games, giving him value for managers targeting three-point production. His return likely pushes Kevin Huerter back into a smaller role after Huerter scored 17 points as a spot starter Monday. Robinson remains a viable category specialist for threes, while Tobias Harris and Ausar Thompson should continue handling steady offensive roles.

Jalen Duren is Back in Action on Tuesday
Detroit Pistons center Jalen Duren (knee) is available to play ahead of Tuesday's game against the Toronto Raptors. Duren is back in action after sitting out Monday's game due to knee injury management reasons. With Duren back in the mix, Paul Reed should see a reduced role in the rotation. Reed finished with 21 points and 10 rebounds across 34 minutes on Monday. His streaming value will take a hit with Duren back in the mix. Fantasy managers should double-check their lineups and make sure Duren is active ahead of tip-off.

Tobias Harris Available Tuesday
Detroit Pistons forward Tobias Harris (hip) has been cleared to play Tuesday against Toronto after missing one game with left hip soreness. Harris has been steady lately, averaging 15.8 points, 1.6 three-pointers, 5.8 rebounds, 4.8 assists, and 1.2 blocks in 29.3 minutes over his last five, making him a reliable multi-category option. Javonte Green, who scored 19 points in 30 minutes as a spot starter Monday, is expected to return to a bench role. Harris should continue to see consistent usage alongside Jalen Duren and Daniss Jenkins.

Marvin Bagley III to Miss Second Straight Game
Dallas Mavericks forward Marvin Bagley III (shoulder) is ruled out ahead of Tuesday's game against the Milwaukee Bucks. Bagley will miss both legs of the back-to-back set due to a left shoulder injury. His next chance to play will come on Friday, so fantasy managers should check back ahead of that game. In the meantime, Dwight Powell figures to serve as the backup center to Daniel Gafford on Tuesday. Powell finished with nine points and eight rebounds across 24 minutes on Monday. Fantasy managers looking for a cheap DFS option might want to consider Powell, given he'll have an expanded role.

Ryan Rollins Good to Go Tuesday
Milwaukee Bucks guard Ryan Rollins (hip) is available for Tuesday's game against Dallas after missing one contest with left hip soreness. Rollins has been productive when given starter minutes, averaging 20.4 points, 4.4 rebounds, 5.4 assists, and 1.6 steals across his last five appearances, and he should continue seeing strong usage with Giannis Antetokounmpo (knee) and Bobby Portis (wrist) still out. Andre Jackson Jr. is expected to move back to the bench with Rollins returning. Rollins should continue to hold standard-league value and carries DFS appeal while Milwaukee remains short-handed.

Klay Thompson is Resting on Tuesday
Dallas Mavericks guard Klay Thompson (rest) is heading to the bench ahead of Tuesday's game against the Milwaukee Bucks. It's not shocking to see the Mavs resting the veteran Thompson during the second leg of this back-to-back set. He finished with five points, two assists, and two rebounds across 22 minutes of action on Monday. The Mavs are very thin on forward depth, so Khris Middleton will likely play a significant role. The veteran forward doesn't offer a ton of streaming appeal, but could be worth a look as a cheap DFS option.

Kyle Kuzma Returns Tuesday
Milwaukee Bucks forward Kyle Kuzma (Achilles) will play Tuesday against Dallas after missing four games with right Achilles tendinopathy. His recent production has been fairly modest, averaging 10.6 points, 1.2 three-pointers, 2.8 rebounds, and 2.6 assists in 24.0 minutes over his last five, which makes him more of a depth option than a clear must-start. Pete Nance is likely headed back to a smaller bench role with Kuzma returning. With Giannis Antetokounmpo (knee) still out, Kuzma could see enough touches to stay fantasy relevant. Kuzma fits best as a deeper-league play with realistic expectations.

Marcus Smart Out Against Cavs
Los Angeles Lakers guard Marcus Smart (ankle) is unavailable for Tuesday's game against the Cleveland Cavaliers. He will miss his fifth consecutive contest due to a right ankle contusion, with his next opportunity to return coming Thursday versus Oklahoma City. With Smart sidelined, Luke Kennard and Jake LaRavia should continue to see increased opportunities. Kennard could be viewed as a solid short-term streaming option after recording 19 points, two rebounds, one assist, and one steal in 23 minutes during Monday's 120-101 win over Washington.

Max Strus Active on Tuesday
Cleveland Cavaliers guard/forward Max Strus (foot) is available for Tuesday's matchup with the Los Angeles Lakers. Strus had Monday's game against Utah off for left foot injury maintenance. The 30-year-old forward has been coming off the bench, averaging 12.5 points, 6.5 rebounds and 2.0 assists across six games since recovering from a left foot issue that kept him sidelined for most of the 2025-26 campaign.

Sam Merrill Unavailable Against Lakers
Cleveland Cavaliers guard/forward Sam Merrill (hamstring) won't play against the Los Angeles Lakers on Tuesday. Merrill will have the evening for maintenance and should be back in action for Thursday's game against Golden State. Keon Ellis could absorb some of Merrill's available minutes this evening. Ellis collected 13 points, two rebounds, one assist, two steals, and one block across 24 minutes in his last outing on Monday against the Jazz.

Jarrett Allen Slated to Suit Up on Tuesday
Cleveland Cavaliers center Jarrett Allen (knee) is available to suit up against the Los Angeles Lakers on Tuesday. Allen will be back in action after sitting out Monday's game against Utah to rest. In his last outing on Friday versus Miami, the 27-year-old big man was limited to 18 minutes but still collected a double-double, scoring 18 points and grabbing 10 rebounds. Keon Ellis and Thomas Bryant will likely see their roles reduced with Allen returning to the lineup.

Jaylen Wells Has Successful Surgery on Tuesday
On Tuesday, the Memphis Grizzlies announced guard/forward Jaylen Wells (toe) underwent a successful procedure to stabilize his right big toe. The 22-year-old will miss the rest of the season but is expected to be good to go for the start of the 2026-27 campaign. Wells played in 69 contests this season, averaging 12.5 points, 3.2 rebounds, 1.6 assists, 0.1 blocks, and 0.9 steals while shooting 43.1 percent from the field and 35.3 percent from beyond the arc across 26.4 minutes per game. Wells extended absence opens the door for Rayan Rupert, Jahmai Mashack, and DeJon Jarreau to take on expanded roles in the rotation.

Franz Wagner Trending Toward Return
According to Jason Beede of the Orlando Sentinel, Orlando Magic head coach Jamahl Mosley said forward Franz Wagner (ankle) is "progressing well." The 24-year-old has participated in physical contact and 5-on-5 work as he ramps up toward a return. Mosley added that the team will monitor Wagner's response to treatment before determining the next steps. Wagner has been sidelined since February 11 due to a high-grade ankle sprain, but he appears to be trending toward a potential return for Wednesday's matchup against Atlanta.

Stephen Curry Likely Sidelined for Two More Games
According to Anthony Slater of ESPN, Golden State Warriors point guard Stephen Curry (knee) will likely miss two more games. Curry is out for Wednesday's matchup against San Antonio and is listed as doubtful for Thursday's contest versus Cleveland. Head coach Steve Kerr said Curry went through a full practice on Tuesday. The 38-year-old appears to be nearing a return, with a potential target of Sunday's game against Houston. In the meantime, Brandin Podziemski and Gui Santos should continue to handle increased offensive responsibilities, while Pat Spencer and Gary Payton II are also in line for additional playing time.
