Philadelphia 76ers center
Joel Embiid (ankle) will play on Monday versus the Clippers. The multi-time All-Star carried a probable tag, so fantasy managers have been awaiting the official update regarding his availability. Embiid has played fantastic of late, most recently amassing 40 points, 11 boards, and two blocks while shooting 3-for-5 from deep in Saturday's win over the New Orleans Pelicans. That could continue on Monday night, especially with
Paul George (suspension) out of the mix.

Atlanta Hawks center
Onyeka Okongwu (mouth) won't play on Tuesday against Miami. The 25-year-old took an elbow to the mouth during the 117-106 loss to the Boston Celtics on January 28, costing him the following two contests. With
Kristaps Porzingis (Achilles) questionable, his return may help lessen the blow. However, even if Porzingis sheds the questionable tag,
Mouhamed Gueye, who had 15 points, four boards, three steals, and one block in the loss to Indiana on Saturday, should continue to hold a prominent role.

Houston Rockets forward
Kevin Durant (ankle) didn't suit up for Monday's matchup with Indiana. He tweaked his ankle during the 111-107 win over the Dallas Mavericks on Saturday. While the multi-time All-Star managed to finish the contest, residual swelling caused his absence on Monday night. Head coach Ime Udoka is hoping the injury won't keep him on the shelf for longer than one game, so fantasy managers might see him back on Wednesday against the visiting Boston Celtics. However, if Durant misses another one,
Reed Sheppard could remain in line to replace him in the rotation after entering the starting lineup versus the Pacers.

Atlanta Hawks center
Kristaps Porzingis (Achilles) is questionable for Tuesday's game against Miami. He hasn't played since the loss to New Orleans on January 7, missing the last 12 games. While the 30-year-old still could miss another contest, it at least seems he's moving in a positive direction regarding his return to the court. With
Onyeka Okongwu (mouth) out again, Porzingis would presumably be in line to re-enter the starting lineup. However, regardless of his role, he'll likely be limited. As a result,
Mouhamed Gueye, coming off a 15-point, four-rebound, three-steal, and one-block effort, should remain relevant for fantasy purposes.

Oklahoma City Thunder guard
Shai Gilgeous-Alexander (finger) is considered questionable for Tuesday's matchup with the Orlando Magic due to a sprained right index finger. Gilgeous-Alexander hasn't missed a game since Jan.9 and he's played in 48 of 50 Thunder contests so far this campaign. If the superstar guard is unable to suit up,
Isaiah Joe will be provided with a heavier workload, especially with
Ajay Mitchell (abdomen) already set to miss his sixth straight game due to an abdominal strain.

Dallas Mavericks forward/center
P.J. Washington (head) is unavailable for Tuesday's matchup with the Boston Celtics. The 27-year-old sustained a head contusion in Saturday's 111-107 loss to Houston and he is now in the league's concussion protocol. With Washington out of action, the Mavs will have to rely on
Naji Marshall and
Daniel Gafford in the frontcourt. Marshall has averaged 19.2 points, 8.0 rebounds, and 3.6 assists over his last five starts, while Gafford provides consistent rebounding and adequate scoring.

Minnesota Timberwolves forward
Julius Randle (thumb) is good to go for Monday's matchup with Memphis. Randle was listed on the injury report because of left thumb soreness, but he'll be out there on Monday night. The 31-year-old is having a fantastic 2025 campaign, averaging 22.3 points, 6.9 rebounds, 5.4 assists, and 1.2 steals. He might be even more productive versus a Grizzlies team that has allowed 116.6 points per game this season, one of the worst averages in the NBA.

February 2, 2026
Minnesota Timberwolves guard
Anthony Edwards (back) is available to play in Monday's meeting with Memphis. Normally, he is listed on the injury report because of the familiar foot issue. However, Edwards was in danger of missing this one due to back spasms. Fortunately, that's not the case. Whith that said, he is in a fantastic position to exceed his usual statistical expectations versus a Grizzlies team that has allowed 116.6 points per game this season, one of the worst marks in the NBA.

Washington Wizards forward/center
Alexandre Sarr (calf) is available to suit up against the New York Knicks on Tuesday. Sarr will return after missing Sunday's contest against the Kings due to right calf soreness. Across 38 appearances this season, the 20-year-old big man is averaging 17.6 points, 7.7 rebounds, 2.8 assists and 2.1 blocks in 28.6 minutes per contest.
Marvin Bagley III will likely see his role reduced with Sarr back in action Tuesday evening.

Chicago Bulls guard
Josh Giddey (hamstring) won't play in Tuesday's Central Division clash with the Milwaukee Bucks. He missed a few weeks because of a hamstring strain. While the 23-year-old appeared in some games since returning, he'll now miss his fourth-straight contest. It's been reported Giddey is improving, which is good. However, fantasy managers shouldn't rule out the chance that he could be out beyond the All-Star break. At any rate,
Ayo Dosunmu should be given an expanded role behind
Coby White,
Matas Buzelis, and
Nikola Vucevic while Giddey works his way back.

Utah Jazz center
Jusuf Nurkic won't play on Tuesday versus Indiana. He's missed a few games of late because of an illness. This time, the 31-year-old is simply getting the night off to rest. Without Nurkic on the floor,
Kyle Filipowski is the favorite to replace him in the rotation. The former Duke Blue Devil has averaged 11.8 points, 7.5 rebounds, and 2.4 assists in 16 starts throughout the campaign. However, with
Keyonte George (ankle) also sidelined, Filipowski could thrive in a meeting with one of the worst defensive clubs in the National Basketball Association.

According to Danny Emerman of SFStandard.com, Golden State Warriors guard
Stephen Curry (knee) won't play against the Philadelphia 76ers on Tuesday. Curry didn't practice on Monday and is considered day-to-day due to soreness in his right knee. His next chance to return to the lineup is on Thursday against Phoenix. While Curry is out of action,
De'Anthony Melton,
Brandin Podziemski and
Pat Spencer could be utilized as short-term streaming options.

Utah Jazz guard
Keyonte George (ankle) won't play on Tuesday versus Indiana. The 22-year-old tweaked his left ankle during the 109-99 loss to the Brooklyn Nets on Friday night and didn't suit up for Sunday's meeting with the Toronto Raptors.
Isaiah Collier got the start and contributed in a big way, finishing the evening with 19 points, seven assists, four boards, two steals, and one block. Collier is expected to remain with the starters on Tuesday, making him a must-start against a Pacers team that has struggled defensively all year. X-rays on George's ankle came back negative. While he's considered day-to-day, it's certainly possible he misses a few more contests moving ahead.

Los Angeles Clippers guard
James Harden (personal) won't play on Monday against the Philadelphia 76ers. The former MVP will miss his second game in a row due to personal reasons. His next chance to suit up comes on Wednesday versus the Cavs. While Harden is out of the mix,
Kris Dunn,
Kobe Sanders and
Jordan Miller will continue to get more work in the backcourt.
--Andrew LennoxSource: NBA Injury Report
February 2, 2026
Los Angeles Lakers guard
Austin Reaves (calf) is considered questionable for Tuesday's matchup with the Brooklyn Nets. Reaves has been listed as questionable a few times recently, but Lakers head coach JJ Redick said after Sunday's loss to the Knicks that he was hopeful to have the guard back in the mix. The 27-year-old has been sidelined since Dec. 25 due to a left calf strain.
Marcus Smart and
Gabe Vincent will continue to take on extra minutes if Reaves remains absent on Tuesday.
