Sandro Mamukelashvili  • PF  •  Raptors

Sandro Mamukelashvili Active Against Heat

Toronto Raptors forward/center Sandro Mamukelashvili (knee) is available for Tuesday's game against Miami and should continue seeing steady reserve minutes in the frontcourt rotation. The Seton Hall product has averaged 14.4 points, 2.0 three-pointers, 5.6 rebounds, 2.2 assists, and 1.0 steals in 24.3 minutes over his last five games, making him a viable late-season streamer for points and threes from a big-man slot. He finished with 10 points, two three-pointers, six rebounds, and four assists in 24 minutes against Boston on Sunday. His role remains vulnerable to Collin Murray-Boyles' return, while Jakob Poeltl's starting minutes remain secure.

Collin Sexton  • PG  •  Bulls

Collin Sexton Available on Tuesday

Chicago Bulls guard Collin Sexton (finger) is expected to suit up for Tuesday's matchup against the Washington Wizards. The 27-year-old is averaging 15.3 points, 3.3 assists, and 2.2 rebounds in 23.3 minutes per outing across 64 games this season. With Josh Giddey (hamstring) sidelined, Sexton could take on a larger workload in this contest. He profiles as a solid short-term streaming option given the potential for increased usage.

Collin Murray-Boyles  • PF  •  Raptors

Collin Murray-Boyles Cleared to Play Tuesday

Toronto Raptors forward/center Collin Murray-Boyles (quadriceps) is available for Tuesday's game against Miami after dealing with a recent quad issue and should resume his bench role. The rookie has averaged 16.3 points, 5.8 rebounds, and 2.0 assists in 22.8 minutes across his last four games, putting him on the late-season streaming radar for points and rebounds. He logged 12 points, five rebounds, five assists, one steal, and one block in 26 minutes against Boston last time out. Murray-Boyles is a viable deep-league add, though his return could slightly cut into Sandro Mamukelashvili's reserve minutes while leaving Jakob Poeltl's starting role unchanged.

Immanuel Quickley  • PG  •  Raptors

Immanuel Quickley Cleared to Return Tuesday

Toronto Raptors guard Immanuel Quickley (foot) is available for Tuesday's game against the Heat after missing eight games with plantar fasciitis and may face a light minutes cap in his return. He averaged 11.8 points, 2.0 three-pointers, 2.8 rebounds, 4.8 assists, and 2.0 steals across 31.4 minutes in his last five appearances, giving him late-season streamer appeal for steals and assists. His return likely cuts into Jamal Shead and Ja'Kobe Walter's workloads, making both risky holds outside deep formats, while R.J. Barrett could see slightly fewer on-ball reps.

Tre Johnson  • SG  •  Wizards

Tre Johnson Ruled Out Against Bulls

Washington Wizards guard/forward Tre Johnson (foot) won't suit up against the Chicago Bulls on Tuesday. The 20-year-old guard will miss his second consecutive contest due to a right foot sprain. His next opportunity to return is Thursday against the Bulls. With Johnson sidelined, Sharife Cooper and Jamir Watkins will likely see extended minutes. Watkins could be a viable streaming option this evening after he posted 20 points, eight rebounds, two assists and two blocks across 44 minutes during Sunday's 121-115 loss to the Nets.

Tyler Herro  • SG  •  Heat

Tyler Herro Active on Tuesday

Miami Heat guard Tyler Herro (personal) is available for Tuesday's matchup with the Toronto Raptors. Herro was out of action due to personal issues during Saturday's 152-136 win over Washington. The 26-year-old is averaging 21.4 points, 3.9 assists, and 4.6 rebounds in 31.7 minutes per contest across 30 games this season. Fantasy managers can expect a normal workload for Herro in his return, making him a solid option across all fantasy formats.

Anthony Davis  • C  •  Wizards

Anthony Davis Not Expected to Play Again This Season

According to Chase Hughes of Monumental Sports Network, Washington Wizards head coach Brian Keefe said Tuesday that forward/center Anthony Davis (finger) isn't expected to play again this season. The 33-year-old big man has been out of action since January 8 due to ligament damage in his left hand. Davis finishes the 2025-26 campaign with averages of 20.4 points, 11.1 rebounds, 2.8 assists, 1.7 blocks, and 1.1 steals per outing in 20 regular-season games with Dallas before being dealt to Washington on February 4.

Trae Young  • PG  •  Wizards

Trae Young's Season is Likely Over

According to Chase Hughes of Monumental Sports Network, Washington Wizards guard Trae Young (back, quadriceps) isn't expected to suit up again this season. Young hasn't played since March 16 against the Golden State Warriors due to lingering back and quadriceps issues. The 27-year-old has appeared in just 15 games this season, averaging 17.9 points, 8.0 assists, 2.0 rebounds, and 1.8 three-pointers in 25.6 minutes per contest during an injury-riddled campaign.

DeMar DeRozan  • SF  •  Kings

DeMar DeRozan Slated to Sit Out Tuesday

Sacramento Kings guard/forward DeMar DeRozan (hamstring) is unavailable for Tuesday's matchup with the Golden State Warriors. He will sit out due to right hamstring soreness, marking just his third absence of the season. With DeRozan sidelined, Malik Monk and Doug McDermott should see expanded roles, while Daeqwon Plowden is expected to enter the starting lineup. Monk profiles as the top fantasy option given his increased usage.

LeBron James  • SF  •  Lakers

LeBron James Sidelined on Tuesday

According to Khobi Price of The California Post, Los Angeles Lakers forward LeBron James (foot) is unavailable for Tuesday's matchup with the Oklahoma City Thunder. He will sit out due to foot injury management. With James, Luka Doncic (hamstring), Austin Reaves (oblique), and Marcus Smart (ankle) all sidelined, significant minutes should be available for Bronny James, Jarred Vanderbilt, Rui Hachimura, Luke Kennard, and Jake LaRavia. Hachimura should handle the bulk of the scoring load, while Kennard and LaRavia profile as the strongest short-term streaming options.

Andrew Nembhard  • PG  •  Pacers

Andrew Nembhard Misses Fourth Consecutive Game

Indiana Pacers guard Andrew Nembhard (back) will remain sidelined on Tuesday against the Minnesota Timberwolves. He's on the injury report due to thoracic and lumbar injury management, sitting out a fourth consecutive contest. With Nembhard out of the picture, Quenton Jackson has enjoyed a stint as a starter and is expected to lead the backcourt again, especially with T.J. McConnell (hamstring) also unavailable. Jackson has averaged 13.0 points, 3.7 rebounds, 5.0 assists, and 1.3 steals per game since Nembhard departed the lineup. Kam Jones and Ethan Thompson also benefit from Nembhard's absence.
Apr 7   
Pascal Siakam  • PF  •  Pacers

Pascal Siakam Unavailable Tuesday Night

Indiana Pacers forward Pascal Siakam (ankle) will miss a second consecutive game on Tuesday against the Minnesota Timberwolves. The Cameroonian star injured his left ankle on Friday night against Charlotte and could be done for the rest of the season. After Tuesday, the Pacers will have only three more games to go. Jalen Slawson stepped into the first unit as Siakam's replacement on Sunday against Cleveland and is likely to maintain the spot after a productive outing. Across a team-high 33 minutes, Slawson had 19 points, six rebounds, two assists, and two steals.

Matas Buzelis  • SF  •  Bulls

Matas Buzelis Misses Second Straight Game Due to Illness

Chicago Bulls forward Matas Buzelis (illness) won't play on Tuesday night against the Washington Wizards, missing a second consecutive game. The 21-year-old hasn't overcome an illness, which knocked him out of the lineup over the weekend. Leonard Miller started in Buzelis' place on Sunday against Phoenix, grabbing a game-high 10 rebounds and scoring 17 points. He looks to be a solid option for fantasy managers again on Tuesday, especially given the matchup. In a starting role, Miller has averaged 12.4 points and 7.8 rebounds in 29.1 minutes per game.
Apr 7   
Josh Giddey  • SG  •  Bulls

Josh Giddey Out on Tuesday

Chicago Bulls guard Josh Giddey (hamstring) will miss Tuesday's juicy fantasy matchup against the Washington Wizards. The 23-year-old is managing a left hamstring injury and won't be part of the Bulls' lineup for the third time in four games. Collin Sexton (finger) is expected to make another start on Tuesday night. He has averaged 15.9 points, 2.8 rebounds, 4.6 assists, and 1.2 steals in a starting role this season. Giddey's absence also raises the fantasy ceiling for Tre Jones, who led the Bulls with 29 points in Sunday's 120-110 loss to Phoenix.
Apr 7   
Jalen Williams  • SF  •  Thunder

Jalen Williams Won't Play Against Lakers

Oklahoma City Thunder forward Jalen Williams (hamstring) won't suit up on Tuesday night against the Los Angeles Lakers. The defending champions play a back-to-back in Los Angeles, and Williams will be held out on Tuesday for hamstring injury management. He will likely be brought back into the lineup on Wednesday against the Clippers. Ajay Mitchell and Cason Wallace are the likeliest candidates to fill in for Williams in the first unit. Meanwhile, Alex Caruso and Aaron Wiggins may see an uptick in playing time.
Apr 7   
Anthony Edwards  • SG  •  Timberwolves

Anthony Edwards Remains on the Shelf Tuesday

Minnesota Timberwolves guard/forward Anthony Edwards (knee) won't play on Tuesday against the Indiana Pacers. A week ago, Edwards returned from a knee injury, but he has played in only two of Minnesota's four games. The four-time All-Star wasn't himself in these games and is now back on the shelf with the same right knee issue. It's a concerning situation for the Timberwolves, who haven't secured a postseason spot yet. With Edwards unavailable, Mike Conley figures to get another start. Ayo Dosunmu and Bones Hyland will also carry additional fantasy value.

Victor Wembanyama  • PF  •  Spurs

Victor Wembanyama Sustains Bruised Rib Versus 76ers

San Antonio Spurs forward/center Victor Wembanyama sustained a bruised rib during Monday's win over Philadelphia. He was injured early in the second quarter in a collision with Paul George. Wembanyama returned to the game midway through the second frame, but he asked to be subbed out with 44.3 seconds left until halftime. The MVP candidate didn't play in the second half, finishing with 17 points, five rebounds, one assist, and three blocks in 16 minutes. San Antonio will return to action on Wednesday night against Portland, and Luke Kornet, who notched 10 points and three rebounds in 22 minutes on Monday, would have an expanded role if Wembanyama misses time.

Dean Wade  • PF  •  Cavaliers  |  Jaylon Tyson  • SF  •  Cavaliers

Jaylon Tyson and Dean Wade Set to Sit Out Again on Monday

Cleveland Cavaliers guard/forward Jaylon Tyson (toe) and forward Dean Wade (ankle) are out for Monday's game against the Memphis Grizzlies. Tyson will miss his ninth consecutive contest due to a lingering toe injury, while Wade will be sidelined for a sixth straight game with an ankle issue. Both players remain without a clear timetable for a return and should be considered doubtful for Wednesday's matchup with Atlanta.

Thomas Bryant  • C  •  Cavaliers

Thomas Bryant Unavailable on Monday

Cleveland Cavaliers center Thomas Bryant is out for Monday's matchup with the Memphis Grizzlies. Bryant is set to miss tonight's action due to calf injury maintenance. The 28-year-old big man logged 14 points, 10 rebounds, two assists, and one block in 26 minutes during Sunday's win over Indiana. His next chance to suit up is on Wednesday against the Atlanta Hawks.
Apr 6

Max Strus Ruled Out Against Grizzlies

Cleveland Cavaliers guard/forward Max Strus (foot) is out for Monday's game against the Memphis Grizzlies due to left foot injury maintenance. The 30-year-old finished with four points, seven rebounds and five assists in 31 minutes during Sunday's 117-108 win over Indiana. His next chance to suit up is on Wednesday versus the Atlanta Hawks.
