Kyle Anderson May Miss Second Straight Game

Minnesota Timberwolves forward/center Kyle Anderson (knee) is listed as questionable for Tuesday's game against the Lakers as he continues dealing with right knee soreness. The veteran forward could miss a second straight contest, though his absence carries limited fantasy impact given his modest role since joining Minnesota. Anderson has averaged just 14.5 minutes, 3.0 points, 2.0 rebounds, and 2.0 assists across his first two appearances with the team. With Julius Randle, Rudy Gobert, and Naz Reid anchoring the frontcourt rotation, Anderson remains off the fantasy radar in most formats even if he returns.

Jordan Goodwin Nearing Return From Calf Injury

Phoenix Suns guard/forward Jordan Goodwin (calf) is listed as questionable for Tuesday's matchup against the Bucks as he works toward a possible return from a left calf strain that has sidelined him for seven games. The 27-year-old last appeared in late February and had been carving out a steady rotation role, averaging 10.8 points, 4.0 rebounds, 1.2 steals, and 1.8 assists in 26.3 minutes across his previous five outings. If cleared, Goodwin would add defensive depth on the wing while the Suns remain without Dillon Brooks (hand). Collin Gillespie and Grayson Allen (knee), if active, would be among the players competing for backcourt minutes if Goodwin returns.

Jalen Smith Likely Available Tuesday Against Golden State

Chicago Bulls forward/center Jalen Smith (calf) is listed as probable for Tuesday's matchup against the Warriors as he continues working back from a left calf strain. The 25-year-old recently returned after a five-game absence and logged 20 minutes off the bench in Sunday's loss to Sacramento, finishing with four points, one three-pointer, three rebounds, and one block. Smith may handle a similar workload if active, which caps his fantasy ceiling for now. Guerschon Yabusele and Nick Richards could still handle a share of the frontcourt minutes, which may leave Smith as more of a deep-league option if his workload remains modest.

T.J. McConnell Sidelined Tuesday Against Kings

Indiana Pacers guard T.J. McConnell (hamstring) will sit out Tuesday's matchup against the Kings after leaving Sunday's loss to Portland late with right hamstring soreness. The veteran floor general's absence could stretch Indiana's already thin backcourt, especially with Andrew Nembhard (back/neck) doubtful to suit up. Quenton Jackson logged 17 minutes in the previous game, posting two points, three rebounds, and three assists, while Ben Sheppard and Kam Jones also saw brief runs. Jackson profiles as the most viable deep-league streamer, while Sheppard and Jones could see modest usage bumps if the rotation tightens.

Jarace Walker • PF • Pacers

Jarace Walker Likely to Play Tuesday Against Kings

Indiana Pacers forward Jarace Walker (ankle) is listed as probable for Tuesday's game against the Kings despite dealing with a right ankle sprain and mid-back soreness. The 22-year-old has been a key piece in Indiana's rotation lately, including a 14-point outing Sunday against Portland. Walker's role has expanded with the Pacers thin in the frontcourt due to Ivica Zubac (ankle) and Pascal Siakam (knee) remaining sidelined. Over his last five games, Walker is averaging 15.6 points, 5.2 rebounds, 2.8 assists, and 2.0 three-pointers in 28.9 minutes, making him a viable fantasy hold if active.

Ivica Zubac • C • Pacers

Ivica Zubac Still Sidelined as Pacers Face Kings

Indiana Pacers center Ivica Zubac (ankle) has been ruled out for Tuesday's matchup against the Kings as he continues recovering from a sprained left ankle that has delayed his debut with the team. The Pacers remain thin in the frontcourt, especially with Pascal Siakam (knee) also sidelined. Jay Huff should continue handling starting center duties after posting 16 points, six rebounds, and five blocks in 22 minutes during the last game against Portland. Jarace Walker (ankle) could also maintain a large role if cleared to play after producing 14 points and two steals in 31 minutes, while Micah Potter remains a deeper-league option.

Kel'el Ware • C • Heat

Kel'el Ware in Danger of Missing Tuesday's Game

Miami Heat forward/center Kel'el Ware (shoulder) is listed as questionable for Tuesday's matchup against the Wizards due to a right shoulder strain. The young big has been available regularly since late January, so this marks a new concern for Miami's frontcourt depth. If Ware sits, Jaime Jaquez Jr. and Myron Gardner could see expanded roles. Jaquez logged 29 minutes in the team's last game against Detroit, producing 19 points, six rebounds, and seven assists, while Gardner started but played just 17 minutes with four points and six rebounds. Vladislav Goldin could also pick up limited minutes but remains a risky fantasy option.

Andrew Wiggins • SF • Heat

Andrew Wiggins Misses Third Straight Game

Miami Heat forward Andrew Wiggins (toe) has been ruled out for Tuesday's encounter with the Washington Wizards. He is nursing a left big toe injury and will sit out a third consecutive contest. The Heat have used Myron Gardner as Wiggins' replacement in the starting unit, but he hasn't had a big impact in games. Over the last two contests, Gardner has averaged 5.0 points, 5.5 rebounds, and 2.0 assists in 16.0 minutes. Wiggins will get his next chance to return on Thursday against the Milwaukee Bucks.

Norman Powell • SG • Heat

Norman Powell Remains Out Tuesday

Miami Heat guard/forward Norman Powell (groin) will sit out a sixth consecutive game on Tuesday night against the Washington Wizards. He is on the shelf with a groin strain and remains without a timetable for his return. Pelle Larsson, Dru Smith, and Jaime Jaquez Jr. have picked up more work during Powell's absence. Meanwhile, Tyler Herro and Bam Adebayo are responsible for most of the offense, especially with Andrew Wiggins (toe) also out of the lineup. The Heat have a great fantasy matchup on Tuesday against a team that allows 120.5 points per 100 possessions.

Collin Sexton • PG • Bulls

Collin Sexton Considered Questionable Tuesday

Chicago Bulls guard Collin Sexton (leg) is questionable to play on Tuesday night against the Golden State Warriors. He injured his left leg on Sunday against Sacramento and might be unavailable for the first time since making his Bulls debut on Feb. 7. Sexton has been a great fit in Chicago and led his team in scoring for four consecutive games. If Sexton can't play on Tuesday, Rob Dillingham is expected to absorb many of his minutes, but he still isn't an appealing fantasy option, even with an expanded role.

Matas Buzelis • SF • Bulls

Matas Buzelis Expected to Play Tuesday

Chicago Bulls forward Matas Buzelis (ankle) is considered probable for Tuesday's matchup with the Golden State Warriors. The talented sophomore sprained his right ankle last week but missed only one game. He was back in action on Sunday against Sacramento, notching 20 points, eight rebounds, four assists, and three blocks. Buzelis has enjoyed a significantly larger role on offense during the second half of the season, scoring at least 20 points in four of his last five outings. He has also been a force on the glass, averaging 6.8 boards during that stretch.

Josh Giddey Probable Tuesday

Chicago Bulls point guard Josh Giddey (ankle) is probable for Tuesday's contest against the Golden State Warriors. Giddey injured his right ankle last week, but he returned to the lineup on Sunday against Sacramento and appears ready to play on Tuesday night. Health issues have left a mark on Giddey's season, but he has looked like his usual self again in recent games. Over his last three appearances, Giddey has recorded two triple-doubles, averaging 16.3 points, 11.7 rebounds, and 9.7 assists.

Coby White Sits Out First Game of Back-to-Back

Charlotte Hornets guard Coby White (calf) won't be in the lineup on Tuesday against the Portland Trail Blazers. The explosive guard is managing a left calf injury and hasn't played in both games during a back-to-back set. He will likely rejoin the lineup on Wednesday night against the Sacramento Kings. Since moving to Charlotte, White has averaged 12.3 points, 2.3 rebounds, and 4.0 assists in 18.3 minutes. Sion James and Josh Green will split the available minutes on Tuesday night, but they aren't expected to have a major impact.

Andrew Nembhard • PG • Pacers

Andrew Nembhard Doubtful Tuesday

Indiana Pacers guard Andrew Nembhard (back, neck) is listed as doubtful for Tuesday's matchup with the Sacramento Kings. Nembhard has recently played through back and neck issues, but all signs point to him sitting out Tuesday's action. Pascal Siakam (knee) has already been ruled out for the game, so Indiana will likely be without its two offensive leaders. This will give players like Jarace Walker, Kobe Brown, and Quenton Jackson a chance to make a bigger impact. Jackson and Kam Jones are the candidates to fill in for Nembhard in the starting lineup.

Pascal Siakam • PF • Pacers

Pascal Siakam Won't Suit Up Tuesday

Indiana Pacers forward Pascal Siakam (knee) will sit out Tuesday's game against the Sacramento Kings. Siakam recently missed time due to a wrist problem, and he's now on the injury report with a knee sprain. In Siakam's absence, Kobe Brown could slide into the starting lineup. Additionally, Jarace Walker is set to carry a heavier offensive load. In games played without Siakam this season, Walker has averaged 16.4 points, 7.0 rebounds, and 3.4 assists. His fantasy stock will rise further on Tuesday due to the opposition's lack of quality.

Jonathan Kuminga in Danger of Missing Third Consecutive Game

Atlanta Hawks forward Jonathan Kuminga (knee) is considered questionable for Tuesday's game against the Dallas Mavericks. He is dealing with a bone bruise in his left knee, and it might sideline Kuminga for a third consecutive game. Kuminga's absence from the rotation has given Zaccharie Risacher, Corey Kispert, and Mouhamed Gueye a chance to stake a claim for more playing time, but none of the trio has stepped up. The Hawks are increasingly depending on their starters as they chase a playoff spot.

John Collins • PF • Clippers

John Collins Won't Play This Week

Los Angeles Clippers forward/center John Collins (neck) isn't expected to play this week, Tomer Azarly of ClutchPoints.com reports. He will be out for a fifth consecutive game on Monday night against the New York Knicks. It looks like Collins will then miss at least three more games due to a neck strain. As a result of Collins' absence, Kobe Sanders' role on the team has grown, but he hasn't been a reliable source for fantasy value. Collins is the second Clippers big man to go down in a short period, joining Yanic Konan Niederhauser (foot), who has been ruled out for the season. Brook Lopez and Isaiah Jackson must now hold down the fort at center,

Quinten Post • C • Warriors

Quinten Post Starting Monday Night

Golden State Warriors center Quinten Post will join the starting lineup for Monday's tilt against the Utah Jazz. The Warriors head into the action without Al Horford (toe) and Kristaps Porzingis (illness), giving Post a chance to make his 33rd start of the campaign. He has averaged 9.1 points and 4.4 rebounds as a member of the first unit. On Monday, he's in a good position to eclipse these numbers, as the Jazz have had trouble against opposing big men all season.

DeMar DeRozan • SF • Kings

DeMar DeRozan Overcomes Illness, Available Tuesday

Sacramento Kings guard/forward DeMar DeRozan (illness) is poised to return from a one-game absence on Tuesday night against the Indiana Pacers. The team has removed DeRozan from the injury report after he sat out Sunday's loss to Chicago due to illness. DeRozan's absence allowed Daeqwon Plowden to start, and he had a fine performance with 16 points, three rebounds, and two assists. Plowden had totaled only 10 points as a reserve across the previous three games, so he shouldn't interest fantasy managers with DeRozan back.

LeBron James • SF • Lakers

LeBron James Listed as Questionable for Tuesday

Los Angeles Lakers forward LeBron James (hip, foot) is listed as questionable for Tuesday's contest against the Minnesota Timberwolves. The veteran star didn't practice on Monday due to a right hip contusion and arthritis in his left foot. James also dealt with an elbow injury last week and has missed two games. If he can't return on Tuesday night, Rui Hachimura will continue to start. The Japanese forward finished Sunday's win over the New York Knicks with 13 points, seven rebounds, two assists, and one block. James' absence also leaves more minutes available to Jarred Vanderbilt and Jake LaRavia. At the same time, Luka Doncic and Austin Reaves, who combined for 60 of the Lakers' 110 points on Sunday, dictate the offense.
