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.

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.

Dallas Mavericks center
Anthony Davis (hand) will likely have surgery on his left hand to repair ligament damage, sidelining him for several months. Davis originally suffered the injury in last Thursday's loss to the Utah Jazz. With the trade deadline around the corner, AD could still be traded to a playoff contender, with a potential return in the playoffs. If he stays with the Mavericks, he is not likely to return this season, since the team is not expected to be in the playoff race. Without Davis,
Moussa Cisse and
Dwight Powell will likely fill in behind
Daniel Gafford at center for the rest of the season, while
Cooper Flagg will remain more the focus of the offense. Davis is not officially done for the season, but it looks like his time in Dallas is over, according to this latest report from ESPN's Shams Charania, who says multiple teams are still trying to trade for AD to be a part of their playoff run.

Chicago Bulls forward
Julian Phillips (wrist) was originally listed as probable but later downgraded to questionable for Tuesday night's matchup with the Rockets. Phillips is dealing with a left wrist strain and is only playing 10.2 minutes in his 28 games this season, averaging 3.0 points, 1.4 rebounds, and 0.5 steals per game. If he's ultimately unable to play, there could be a few more minutes for
Patrick Williams and
Dalen Terry, although the 22-year-old Phillips hasn't made meaningful contributions for fantasy in his current limited role.

New Orleans Pelicans forward
Herbert Jones (ankle) will miss a fourth straight game on Tuesday against the Denver Nuggets, but his return to action appears to be near. The 27-year-old is considered day-to-day, Rod Walker of The Times-Picayune reports. Jones has played in only one of the last 11 games and is trying to return from a right ankle sprain. His next chance for a comeback will be on Wednesday night against the Brooklyn Nets. Without Jones,
Bryce McGowens and
Micah Peavy are in a position to receive more minutes, although neither has delivered noteworthy fantasy performances recently.

New Orleans Pelicans forward
Saddiq Bey (hip) has been upgraded to questionable on the injury report ahead of Tuesday's clash against the Denver Nuggets. He has previously carried a doubtful tag due to a hip injury sustained on Dec. 31. The ailment has kept Bey sidelined for six games, disrupting a good comeback campaign. Bey is among New Orleans' leading scorers, averaging 15.1 points per game. His absence has allowed
Bryce McGowens to become a member of the first unit, but his efforts have been mostly disappointing.

Houston Rockets forward
Tari Eason (ankle) won't play on Tuesday against the Chicago Bulls, sitting out a second consecutive game. Eason sprained his right ankle in Friday's loss to the Portland Trail Blazers. In his absence,
Aaron Holiday received the starting nod on Sunday against the Sacramento Kings. Unfortunately, Holiday didn't capitalize on the opportunity, recording only three points, one rebound, four assists, and one steal. It's unclear whether Holiday will maintain the starting position on Tuesday. Houston will also be without
Dorian Finney-Smith (ankle), narrowing the lineup options for head coach Ime Udoka.

Atlanta Hawks forward
Zaccharie Risacher (knee) is considered questionable for a matchup against the Los Angeles Lakers on Tuesday night. The French forward is dealing with a bone contusion in his left knee and has already missed two games.
Vit Krejci has been a starter in the two games Risacher has sat out, but he hasn't provided much for fantasy managers. Newly arrived
CJ McCollum and
Corey Kispert are also helping to fill the void left by Risacher, along with
Luke Kennard (neck). The latter had an impressive 22-point outing off the bench in Sunday's win over the Golden State Warriors, but Atlanta has listed Kennard as questionable for Tuesday's game.

January 13, 2026
Atlanta Hawks forward/center
Kristaps Porzingis (Achilles) will miss a third straight game on Tuesday against the Los Angeles Lakers. The Latvian veteran is dealing with left Achilles tendinitis and has made just three appearances in 2026. As a result of Porzingis's absence,
Mouhamed Gueye has had a regular role in the rotation, though his performances have been inconsistent. There's also a chance for
Asa Newell (quadriceps) to see more playing time, but he must shed a questionable tag for that to happen on Tuesday night.
--Taavi PailkSource: NBA Injury Report
January 13, 2026
San Antonio Spurs guard/forward
Devin Vassell (adductor) will miss an eighth straight game on Tuesday against the Oklahoma City Thunder. Spurs head coach Mitch Johnson said Saturday that Vassell's rehab is going well, but there isn't a timetable for his return.
Julian Champagnie will continue to start in Vassell's absence. He has posted three double-doubles over the past seven games, averaging 17.9 points and 9.1 rebounds. However, Champagnie has struggled mightily on offense against the Thunder this season, averaging only 2.3 points per game across three meetings.

January 13, 2026
Oklahoma City Thunder center
Isaiah Hartenstein (calf) will be out for a ninth consecutive game on Tuesday against the San Antonio Spurs. The big man continues to nurse a right soleus strain, leaving the defending champions without their starting center.
Chet Holmgren has slid to the five position, with
Cason Wallace and
Aaron Wiggins sharing starts during Hartenstein's absence.
Jaylin Williams returned to the lineup in Sunday's win over the Miami Heat, helping ease some of the load on Holmgren. The Thunder centers have a difficult matchup on Tuesday against
Victor Wembanyama.

January 13, 2026
Milwaukee Bucks center
Myles Turner (illness) is considered questionable for Tuesday's clash against the Minnesota Timberwolves. The former Pacer is dealing with an illness and might have to skip his first game of the season. Turner has had a quiet debut campaign in Milwaukee, averaging 12.4 points, 5.3 rebounds, and 1.5 blocks. With him out,
Jericho Sims is likely to start at center, while
Bobby Portis and
Kyle Kuzma could play larger roles on Tuesday night. The Bucks' bigs could shine in the matchup, as Minnesota will be without
Rudy Gobert (suspension).
