Brice Sensabaugh Ruled Out For Tuesday
Utah Jazz forward Brice Sensabaugh (illness) has been ruled out ahead of Tuesday's game against the Atlanta Hawks. The 21-year-old was a late addition to the injury report due to an illness. Sensabaugh has been on a tear lately with 61 points over his last two games. The absence of Lauri Markkanen (back) likely contributed to increased playing time for Sensabaugh. It's uncertain if he'll keep getting minutes in the high-20s going forward. Johnny Juzang and Micah Potter will probably see more minutes with Sensabaugh out on Tuesday. Neither player is an ideal streaming option for Tuesday's slate.

Boston Celtics guard Derrick White (illness) has been ruled out ahead of Tuesday's game against the Denver Nuggets. The veteran guard was a late addition to the injury report due to an illness.

Tyler Herro Questionable On Tuesday
Miami Heat guard Tyler Herro (knee) is questionable for Tuesday's contest against the Golden State Warriors. Herro may sit out due to a left knee contusion. He was on the floor for a significant amount of time on Monday, playing 49 minutes in an overtime loss to Sacramento. If the 24-year-old cannot go, it will be a massive loss for the Heat, with Jimmy Butler (suspension) already missing in action as he continues to serve his suspension.

Alex Caruso Ruled Out For Wednesday
Oklahoma City Thunder guard Alex Caruso (hip) has been ruled out ahead of Wednesday's game against the Cavaliers. Caruso is set to miss his eighth game in a row due to a lingering hip issue. His next opportunity to suit up will come on Friday versus the Knicks. Luguentz Dort and Cason Wallace figure to continue seeing increased roles in the rotation during the 30-year-olds absence.

Kyle Lowry Will Not Play Wednesday Against Washington
Philadelphia 76ers guard Kyle Lowry (hip) will miss a second straight game on Wednesday after being listed out along with Joel Embiid (foot) and Paul George (groin). Without two of their three superstars, the Sixers will have to lean heavily on Tyrese Maxey. Lowry won't be available to work with Maxey in the backcourt, leaving Reggie Jackson, Eric Gordon, and Jeff Dowtin as the main guard depth options available. Maxey played 44 minutes with Lowry out on Monday, finishing with an impressive stat line of 31 points, 10 assists, and two steals. With limited options once again on Wednesday, he's likely to be very busy in a favorable matchup against the Wizards.

Cam Reddish Likely Unavailable Tuesday
Jovan Buha of The Athletic reports that Los Angeles Lakers guard/forward Cam Reddish (back) has been downgraded to doubtful for Tuesday's matchup with the Dallas Mavericks. Reddish was listed as questionable early in the day, but it appears he will likely not suit up.

Paul George Ruled Out For Wednesday
Philadelphia 76ers forward Paul George has played in 14 straight games, but that streak will come to an end on Wednesday against the Wizards since he was listed as out due to left groin tightness. George played 38 minutes on Monday in the Sixers' loss to the Suns and finished with 13 points, nine rebounds, and five steals. He and Joel Embiid (foot) will both be sidelined, leaving plenty of work for Tyrese Maxey in a smash spot against the Wizards. When George missed time earlier this season, Kelly Oubre and Caleb Martin were more involved, but both were already in the starting five on Monday. Eric Gordon and Ricky Council IV could get more work in George's place on Wednesday, but Maxey will have to step in and carry most of the offense, which he has proven he can do regularly so far this season.

Andre Drummond Listed As Questionable For Wednesday
Philadelphia 76ers center Andre Drummond (toe) could be returning to a big role on Wednesday against the Wizards since fellow center Joel Embiid (foot) was listed as out. Drummond has started 14 games this season, averaging 8.1 points, 10.1 rebounds, and 24.2 minutes in those contests. He'll be an interesting option for DFS and streaming if he does get the start in place of Embiid, but if he misses another game with his sprained toe, Guerschon Yabusele could be set for a second straight start. On Monday in the Sixers' 10-point loss, Yabusele played 36 minutes with Drummond and Embiid both out and racked up 14 points and 10 rebounds. The Wizards have been a very favorable matchup for centers, so either Drummond or Yabusele will have a good ceiling on Wednesday.
