Guerschon Yabusele Out Against Knicks
Philadelphia 76ers forward/center Guerschon Yabusele (knee) will not play on Tuesday against the New York Knicks. After missing Sunday's loss to the Toronto Raptors, the feisty Frenchman was not included in the initial injury report for Tuesday's game, but he has now been ruled out due to a sore right knee. Alex Reese and Marcus Bagley will receive more playing opportunities on Tuesday, while Adem Bona will continue to start at center. Bona has had a strong eight-game stretch, averaging 12.1 points, 8.3 rebounds, and 2.6 blocks.

Karl-Anthony Towns Sits Out Tuesday's Game
New York Knicks forward/center Karl-Anthony Towns (knee) has been ruled out for Tuesday's game against the Philadelphia 76ers. Towns was added to the injury report late and has been downgraded from questionable to out as the Knicks get ready to kick off a back-to-back set. The team has a big matchup against the Cleveland Cavaliers coming up on Wednesday night, and Towns may be ready to jump back into action for that one. On Tuesday, Mitchell Robinson will start at center instead of Towns, while Precious Achiuwa could also receive additional work in the frontcourt.

Jevon Carter Ruled Out Tuesday
Chicago Bulls point guard Jevon Carter (shoulder) will exit the lineup on Tuesday against the Toronto Raptors. The veteran guard put up 17 points in 18 minutes during Monday's blowout loss to the Oklahoma City Thunder, but a shoulder issue will keep him off the court Tuesday night. Carter's absence has no fantasy significance, as he has made only five appearances since the start of March, averaging 10.8 minutes per game.

Dalen Terry Unavailable Against Raptors
Chicago Bulls forward Dalen Terry (calf) will miss Tuesday's game against the Toronto Raptors. He has been ruled out with a right calf contusion. Terry will be out of action for the first time since Feb. 22. His first chance to return will be on Friday against the Portland Trail Blazers. Talen Horton-Tucker may receive more playing time while Terry is on the mend. He re-entered the rotation in Monday's loss to the Oklahoma City Thunder, notching 16 points in 16 minutes with a pair of assists.

Julian Phillips Out On Tuesday
Chicago Bulls forward Julian Phillips (quadriceps) has been ruled out for Tuesday's game against the Toronto Raptors. He has played in every game since the beginning of February but must take some time off to recover from a right quadriceps contusion. Matas Buzelis and Patrick Williams should absorb Phillips' minutes in Tuesday's contest. Buzelis has provided more fantasy value recently, averaging 19.0 points, 5.8 rebounds, 2.2 assists, and 1.4 blocks over the past five games.

Jalen Smith Available Against Raptors
Chicago Bulls forward/center Jalen Smith (knee) will be active on Tuesday against the Toronto Raptors. It was initially unclear whether Smith could play when Chicago listed him as questionable on the injury report. The big man is experiencing pain in his right knee. Over the last three weeks, Smith has featured in only a handful of games, but he played well in Monday's loss to the Oklahoma City Thunder, finishing with 10 points, six rebounds, and two blocks in 18 minutes.

Lonzo Ball Still Out On Tuesday
Chicago Bulls point guard Lonzo Ball (wrist) has been ruled out for Tuesday's matchup against the Toronto Raptors. He was initially listed as doubtful on the injury report. Ball was expected to return from a right wrist sprain last week, but he seems to have suffered a setback. He will be sidelined for his 16th consecutive game on Tuesday. Kevin Huerter (thumb) has delivered productive performances during Ball's absence and is poised for another strong outing against Toronto after the team upgraded his status from questionable to available.

Kevin Huerter Cleared For Tuesday's Matchup
Chicago Bulls guard/forward Kevin Huerter (thumb) will be back in action on Tuesday against the Toronto Raptors. He missed Monday's loss to the Oklahoma City Thunder due to a thumb sprain. Following a disappointing first half of the season in Sacramento, Huerter has flourished with the Bulls, averaging 12.9 points, 3.5 rebounds, 3.1 assists, and 1.3 steals. He has improved his numbers to 15.1 points, 4.3 rebounds, and 4.3 assists since joining the starting lineup on March 13.

Josh Giddey Will Play On Tuesday
Chicago Bulls guard/forward Josh Giddey (hip) will play on Tuesday against the Toronto Raptors. Giddey recently sustained a hip injury but has remained in the lineup and is good to go Tuesday night as Chicago completes a back-to-back. On Monday, Giddey returned to Oklahoma City and fell just a couple of rebounds short of a triple-double. He was fantastic throughout March, averaging 20.3 points, 9.6 rebounds, 9.0 assists, and 1.5 steals. Toronto's mediocre defense likely won't be good enough to slow Giddey down.

Dalano Banton Starting Against The Hawks
Portland Trail Blazers guard Dalano Banton will start in Tuesday's game against the Hawks. Anfernee Simons (forearm) and Scoot Henderson (concussion) won't suit up, so Banton will roll with the first five on Tuesday night. The 25-year-old went scoreless in Sunday's loss to the Knicks. However, with Jerami Grant (knee) also ruled out, Banton is worth considering for most fantasy lineups.

Royce O'Neale Unavailable Against Bucks
Phoenix Suns forward Royce O'Neale (illness) has been ruled out for Tuesday's clash against the Milwaukee Bucks. He was a late addition to the injury report due to an illness, initially listed as questionable before the team officially ruled him out for the game. The Suns will also be without Kevin Durant (ankle) and Bradley Beal (hamstring) on Tuesday, placing extra responsibility on players like Collin Gillespie, Tyus Jones, Grayson Allen, and Cody Martin to step up their performance.

Jerami Grant Out Again On Tuesday
Portland Trail Blazers forward Jerami Grant (knee) won't play on Tuesday versus the Hawks. Grant has already missed 10 games because of knee soreness. However, there's a chance he won't play again this season, especially if the Blazers don't make the Play-In. At any rate, with Anfernee Simons (forearm) and Scoot Henderson (concussion) ruled out, Shaedon Sharpe, Toumani Camara, and Deni Avdija should lead the way on the scoring end. Dalano Banton will also enter the starting lineup, increasing his fantasy ceiling.

Bradley Beal Out On Tuesday
Phoenix Suns guard Bradley Beal (hamstring) is not ready to return to the lineup on Tuesday against the Milwaukee Bucks. Initially, there was a chance Beal would return when the team listed him as questionable on the injury report, but he has now officially been ruled out. This will be Beal's eighth consecutive absence. Collin Gillespie will continue to have an expanded role due to Beal's absence. He has started seven consecutive games, averaging 8.0 points, 3.4 rebounds, and 4.3 assists in 21.9 minutes over that span.

Ron Holland II Tagged With A One-Game Suspension Tuesday
According to Shams Charania of ESPN, Detroit Pistons small forward Ron Holland II (suspension) will serve a one-game suspension due to his involvement in an on-court altercation that included several players during Sunday's game against the Minnesota Timberwolves. Holland will have to miss Wednesday's contest against the Thunder, but he will be available to make his return for Friday's matchup with the Raptors. Marcus Sasser was also suspended for one game, while Isaiah Stewart got a two-game ban.

Anfernee Simons Ruled Out Versus The Hawks
Portland Trail Blazers guard Anfernee Simons (forearm) won't play on Tuesday against Atlanta. He has been dealing with a forearm injury of late, although he was able to play in Sunday's loss to the Knicks, finishing with 15 points, four assists, and two steals. However, with Simons and Scoot Henderson (concussion) ruled out, Dalano Banton will get the start, giving him plenty of upside for fantasy managers. Shaedon Sharpe, Toumani Camara, and Deni Avdija are also in line for more scoring opportunities, especially with Jerami Grant (knee) also unable to suit up.

Trae Young Officially Available Tuesday
Atlanta Hawks point guard Trae Young (Achilles) will be in the lineup on Tuesday against the Portland Trail Blazers. The team has upgraded Young to available after initially listing him as probable for the contest. Young ranks sixth in the league with 45 double-doubles, averaging 24.1 points and 11.5 assists for the season. He narrowly missed out on a double-double in this season's first meeting with the Trail Blazers, posting 29 points and eight assists in a 114-110 loss on Nov. 17.

Marcus Sasser Suspended For One Game On Tuesday
On Tuesday, the NBA suspended Detroit Pistons guard Marcus Sasser (suspension) for one game, Shams Charania of ESPN reports. Sasser was thrown out in the second quarter of Sunday's contest against Minnesota after a scuffle with several players. He will be unavailable for Wednesday's matchup with the Thunder. The 24-year-old is eligible to make his return Friday versus the Raptors. Teammate Ron Holland was suspended for one game, while Isaiah Stewart was tagged with a two-game ban.

Giannis Antetokounmpo Will Play On Tuesday
Milwaukee Bucks forward Giannis Antetokounmpo (foot) will play against the Suns on Tuesday night. It's not uncommon to see the two-time MVP listed on the injury report. But as has been the case for most of the 2024-25 campaign, he was listed as probable, so fantasy managers expected to have him in the lineup. Antetokounmpo had 31 points, 10 rebounds, and five rebounds in his only matchup against Phoenix this season. However, he won't have to deal with Kevin Durant (ankle) and possibly Royce O'Neale (illness) this time around.

Isaiah Stewart Suspended For Two Games On Tuesday
According to Shams Charania of ESPN, the NBA suspended Detroit Pistons forward/center Isaiah Stewart (suspension) for two games on Tuesday. The 23-year-old was ejected from Sunday's game against Minnesota due to an on-court altercation that involved several players. Stewart has to sit Wednesday against the Thunder and Friday versus the Raptors. Teammates Marcus Sasser and Ron Holland were also involved in the scuffle and will serve a one-game suspension. While these players are out of action, Paul Reed, Lindy Waters, and Simone Fontecchio will likely see an uptick in minutes but will not make much of an impact, fantasy-wise.

Jonathan Kuminga Ruled Out On Tuesday
Golden State Warriors forward Jonathan Kuminga (pelvis) won't play on Tuesday versus Memphis. He logged only six minutes in Sunday's win over the San Antonio Spurs before taking a hard fall, suffering a pelvic contusion. As such, it appears there's a chance the 22-year-old could miss more time moving forward. In the meantime, Buddy Hield, coming off a 19-point effort, is the favorite to benefit the most off the bench. Gui Santos and Quinten Post could also see extra work.
