Phoenix Suns guard
Collin Gillespie (hand) has been ruled out for Tuesday's contest against the Brooklyn Nets. He was added late to the injury report due to a hand injury, and the Suns have downgraded Gillespie's status from questionable to out. The Villanova product joins
Jalen Green (hamstring) and
Devin Booker (ankle) on the sidelines, leaving Phoenix with very few offensive options.
Grayson Allen,
Dillon Brooks, and
Jordan Goodwin are all set for larger roles in the attack, and
Jamaree Bouyea could see a significant bump in playing time with the backcourt absentees.

Oklahoma City Thunder guard/forward
Cason Wallace (hip) will miss Tuesday's game against the New Orleans Pelicans. The team has downgraded him from questionable to out, depriving the Thunder of another regular rotation player. Wallace has started six of eight games since his most recent absence on Jan. 9. With Wallace out,
Aaron Wiggins and
Isaiah Joe could see extended minutes in Tuesday's favorable fantasy matchup against a team that allows the third-most points in the Association.

Philadelphia 76ers guard/forward
Quentin Grimes (ankle) has been ruled out for Tuesday's game against the Milwaukee Bucks. This isn't unexpected, as Grimes was a late addition to the injury report due to a right ankle sprain. He presumably suffered the injury during Monday's matchup against the Charlotte Hornets. Grimes' departure from the lineup may keep
Jared McCain in the rotation on Tuesday night. After logging just one minute of action across the previous five games, McCain took advantage of garbage time minutes on Monday, notching 16 points, three rebounds, three assists, and one block.

Dallas Mavericks guard/forward
Cooper Flagg (ankle) is listed as questionable for Wednesday's matchup against the Minnesota Timberwolves. The rookie sensation is nursing a left ankle injury and may sit out the first leg of a back-to-back. Flagg wasn't expected to play at the back end of a back-to-back set on Sunday against the Milwaukee Bucks before the game was postponed due to bad weather. Flagg's potential absence against Minnesota could mean more minutes for
Brandon Williams and
Ryan Nembhard, as well as increased offensive opportunities for players like
Naji Marshall and
P.J. Washington.

Minnesota Timberwolves guard/forward
Anthony Edwards (foot) is questionable for Wednesday's matchup against the Dallas Mavericks. He is managing a right foot injury and could miss a second consecutive game. With Edwards out,
Mike Conley started on Monday against the Golden State Warriors, but the veteran had a limited impact in 21 minutes. Both
Jaylen Clark and
Bones Hyland logged 25 minutes off the bench and will likely get extra burn again on Wednesday if Edwards doesn't play. Hyland had one of his best performances of the season on Monday night, finishing with 17 points, seven rebounds, five assists, and two steals.

Utah Jazz forward/center
Kevin Love (knee) will be active on Tuesday against the Los Angeles Clippers. While Love has been rested regularly this season, he was out on Saturday against the Miami Heat due to a left knee contusion. The veteran big man has averaged 7.1 points and 5.6 rebounds across 17.3 minutes per game this season. On Tuesday, we may see a bit more of Love with
Jusuf Nurkic (illness) out of the lineup.

Los Angeles Clippers guard
Kris Dunn (ankle) will be in the lineup on Tuesday night against the Utah Jazz. Dunn sprained his right ankle in Sunday's win over the Brooklyn Nets and was listed as questionable on the initial injury report. The veteran guard has been a regular starter for the Clippers throughout the campaign, but he operates mainly as a glue guy in the lineup. Across 27.2 minutes per game, Dunn has contributed 7.8 points, 2.9 rebounds, 3.1 assists, and 1.5 steals. Offensively, he's had a miserable time against the Jazz this season, averaging just 1.0 points per game on 14.3 percent shooting.

January 27, 2026
Washington Wizards forward
Khris Middleton (foot) is available to play ahead of Tuesday's game against the Portland Trail Blazers. Middleton will make his return on Tuesday after missing Saturday's contest due to left foot soreness. The return of Middleton should push
Will Riley back to the bench after making his first start on Saturday. In January, Middleton is averaging 9.9 points, 3.8 rebounds, and 2.9 assists in 23.7 minutes per game in nine contests. He has been playing well enough to be worth a look in deep formats as a streaming option for Tuesday's slate.

January 27, 2026
Brooklyn Nets guard/forward
Tyrese Martin (knee) won't suit up for Tuesday's meeting with the Phoenix Suns. He was initially listed as questionable for the game due to a sore left knee. Martin has averaged 7.6 points, 2.8 rebounds, and 2.0 assists in 19.1 minutes off the Brooklyn bench this season.
Cam Thomas' return should see him absorb the majority of Martin's playing time, but
Ziaire Williams and
Drake Powell might also gain extra opportunities.

January 27, 2026
Portland Trail Blazers center
Robert Williams III (back) is ruled out ahead of Tuesday's game against the Washington Wizards. The Blazers have decided to hold out Williams for the second game of this back-to-back set. It's not shocking to see the Blazers giving their oft-injured big man a maintenance day here. The expectation is that Williams will be back in the mix for Friday's game versus the New York Knicks.
Donovan Clingan will see a boost in fantasy value, while
Yang Hansen should see more run in the rotation as the backup. Fantasy managers should consider Clingan a plus-streaming option for Tuesday's slate. Hansen has been too inconsistent to trust, even with Williams on the sideline.

January 27, 2026
Phoenix Suns guard
Jalen Green (hamstring) won't be in action on Tuesday against the Brooklyn Nets. The team has ruled Green out for the contest after initially listing him as questionable. He will be sidelined for a second consecutive game. Phoenix is also currently without
Devin Booker (ankle), giving additional fantasy value to
Grayson Allen and
Dillon Brooks, who must provide more offensively without the two.
Collin Gillespie (hand) also benefits in the situation, but he is considered questionable for Tuesday's game.
--Taavi PailkSource: NBA Injury Report
January 27, 2026
Portland Trail Blazers forward
Deni Avdija (back) is available to play ahead of Tuesday's game against the Washington Wizards. Avdija is back in the mix after missing two games due to a lingering illness. He was questionable coming into this game, but he will shed that tag and return to the starting five on Tuesday night. His return to the rotation should mean that
Sidy Cissoko will head back to the second unit. Fantasy managers should double-check their lineups and make sure Avdija is in there ahead of tip-off. He has been one of the best players in the league and needs to be started in all fantasy formats.

January 27, 2026
Cleveland Cavaliers forward/center
Evan Mobley (calf) will be out 1-3 weeks due to a strained left calf, the team announced on Tuesday. Mobley suffered the injury during Monday's 20-point, nine-rebound performance against the Orlando Magic. It's the second time this season he has been sidelined by this injury. He sat out five games in December with a Grade 1 left calf strain. Mobley's absence from the rotation will create additional playing opportunities for
De'Andre Hunter,
Nae'Qwan Tomlin, and
Larry Nance Jr. Of the trio, Hunter has the most fantasy upside, though he has been hit-and-miss all season.

January 27, 2026
Brooklyn Nets guard
Cam Thomas (ankle) was listed as available to play Tuesday after he was forced to miss Sunday's game against the Clippers with a sprained ankle. The 24-year-old still has a very high ceiling, even though he has been limited to only 20 games by injuries this season and is only averaging 16.2 points per game when available. Thomas was limited to only 19 minutes in his last game on Friday, even though the game went into double overtime. He could be lined up for more work on Tuesday, though, since
Tyrese Martin (knee) has been ruled out. Thomas's return could also cut into the workloads of
Ziaire Williams and
Nolan Traore (illness), who is probable.

January 27, 2026
Sacramento Kings guard
Malik Monk (ankle) was downgraded from questionable to out for his team's matchup in New York on Tuesday. With
Zach LaVine (back) also unavailable,
Russell Westbrook,
Dennis Schroder, and
Keon Ellis will need to step up with Monk on the shelf. After spending part of the season out of the rotation, Monk has been very productive lately, and his absence could leave a lot of usage for the rest of the backcourt, with Ellis the most direct beneficiary. Ellis has been boom-or-bust in an expanded role, but he's worth a look as a DFS value play or a streaming option in what should be a busy night for him against the Knicks.
