Michael Porter Jr. • SF • Nets

Michael Porter Jr. May Sit Out Again Wednesday

Brooklyn Nets forward Michael Porter Jr. (ankle) is questionable for Wednesday's game against the Thunder after missing three straight contests. If he remains out, Danny Wolf could continue seeing expanded run after posting eight points, five rebounds, four assists, and two blocks in 24 minutes as a starter last game. Ziaire Williams also played 20 minutes with seven points and two steals and could be a deep-league option for defensive stats. Porter's absence would keep extra usage available for Williams and Wolf, while Jalen Wilson and Josh Minott remain deeper rotation fliers if minutes open.

Dejounte Murray Could Miss Another Game

New Orleans Pelicans guard Dejounte Murray (illness) is questionable for Wednesday's game against the Clippers after missing the previous contest. If he remains out, rookie guard Jeremiah Fears could continue seeing meaningful minutes after posting 17 points, six rebounds, and five assists in 25 minutes off the bench last game. Fears could be worth a look in deeper leagues for assists and scoring if Murray misses another game. Trey Murphy III and Zion Williamson may also handle more playmaking duties. Murray should remain rostered in most formats, though managers should monitor his pregame status.

Alperen Sengün • C • Rockets

Alperen Sengun Off Injury Report Wednesday

Houston Rockets center Alperen Sengun (back) is off the injury report and expected to return Wednesday against the Lakers after missing two games. Sengun has averaged 17.0 points, 6.6 rebounds, and 3.8 assists in 28.9 minutes over his last five appearances and should immediately resume his starting role. His return pushes Clint Capela back into a reserve role and limits his streaming appeal. Sengun remains a must-start option for points and assists from the center spot, while Kevin Durant and Amen Thompson may see slightly less playmaking responsibility.

Luke Kornet • C • Spurs

Luke Kornet Cleared to Play Tuesday

San Antonio Spurs center Luke Kornet (knee) is available for Tuesday's game against Sacramento after sitting out the previous contest. Kornet has averaged 5.2 points, 4.4 rebounds, and 1.6 assists in 19.0 minutes over his last five games, offering modest value in deeper formats for rebounds and occasional blocks. His return should bring some stability to the backup center minutes behind Victor Wembanyama and may slightly cut into Mason Plumlee's playing time. Kornet remains a low-upside option, though he can help as a deep-league filler when extra size stats are needed.

Dylan Harper • PG • Spurs

Dylan Harper Available Against Kings

San Antonio Spurs guard Dylan Harper (calf) is available for Tuesday's game against Sacramento after missing two games with a right calf contusion. The rookie should reclaim a steady bench role after posting 13 points, five rebounds, and five assists in 24 minutes in his last appearance. His return could trim minutes for Carter Bryant and potentially push Jordan McLaughlin out of the rotation. Harper offers deep-league appeal for assists and balanced production, though his fantasy ceiling remains modest behind De'Aaron Fox and Stephon Castle in the guard rotation.

Harrison Barnes • SF • Spurs

Harrison Barnes Set to Start Tuesday

San Antonio Spurs forward Harrison Barnes will enter the starting lineup Tuesday with Devin Vassell (ankle) sidelined. Barnes has shown modest upside in previous starts, including a 19-point outing with five three-pointers in 35 minutes earlier this season, giving him some deep-league appeal for threes and points. His value remains matchup dependent, but the increased minutes help his streaming case. Julian Champagnie and Keldon Johnson could also see slightly larger roles, while Barnes remains a low-priority option outside deeper category formats.

Malik Monk • SG • Kings

Malik Monk Sidelined for Fourth Straight Game

Sacramento Kings guard Malik Monk (ankle) will miss Tuesday's game against the Spurs, marking his fourth straight absence due to a right ankle sprain. Daeqwon Plowden should continue seeing an extended run after logging 10 points, four rebounds, two assists, and two steals in 31 minutes last game, making him a viable deep-league streamer for steals and threes. Russell Westbrook and DeMar DeRozan should continue handling most of the backcourt usage, while Nique Clifford could also maintain a stable role.

Bennedict Mathurin • SG • Clippers

Bennedict Mathurin to Sit at Least Three Games

Los Angeles Clippers guard/forward Bennedict Mathurin (toe) will miss the team's three-game road trip as he continues treatment, with a chance to return early next week. His absence should keep John Collins and Derrick Jones Jr. in steady roles. Collins finished with 11 points, nine rebounds, and four assists in 26 minutes last game and offers short-term value for rebounds and scoring. Jones chipped in 10 points with two threes and a block in 24 minutes and can help in threes and defensive stats. Mathurin is still worth holding if you have the bench space.

Cade Cunningham • PG • Pistons

Cade Cunningham Exits After Five Minutes Tuesday

Detroit Pistons guard Cade Cunningham (back) will not return to Tuesday's game against Washington after experiencing back spasms in the opening minutes, finishing with six points, two rebounds, and one steal in five minutes. His absence should open short-term opportunities for Marcus Sasser and Caris LeVert, with Sasser offering scoring and assists upside in deeper leagues. Daniss Jenkins could also see extra run as a speculative deep-league option. Cunningham should be considered day-to-day, while Jalen Duren and Tobias Harris may also take on more offensive responsibility if he misses more time.

Ryan Rollins • SG • Bucks

Ryan Rollins Cleared to Play Tuesday

Milwaukee Bucks guard Ryan Rollins (illness) is available for Tuesday's game against Cleveland after being a late addition to the injury report. With Giannis Antetokounmpo (knee) sidelined, Rollins should continue seeing meaningful on-ball opportunities after producing 20 points, seven assists, three steals, and three three-pointers in 37 minutes last game. Kevin Porter Jr.'s return could cap some of that upside, but Rollins still profiles as a viable assists and steals streamer. Bobby Portis and Kyle Kuzma should also remain involved offensively, while Rollins holds value in deeper formats while starting.

Giannis Antetokounmpo • PF • Bucks

Giannis Antetokounmpo Out at Least One Week

Milwaukee Bucks forward Giannis Antetokounmpo (knee) is expected to miss multiple games after being diagnosed with a left knee hyperextension and bone bruise, with a re-evaluation set for next week. Bobby Portis could see a major offensive bump after erupting for 29 points, 10 rebounds, three assists, and two steals in 27 minutes last game, making him a strong points and rebounds streamer. Ryan Rollins also stepped up with 20 points and seven assists in 37 minutes and remains a viable assist target. Kevin Porter Jr. and Kyle Kuzma should continue seeing added usage while Antetokounmpo is sidelined.

Grayson Allen • SF • Suns

Grayson Allen Ruled Out Tuesday Against Minnesota

Phoenix Suns guard/forward Grayson Allen (knee) will not play Tuesday against the Timberwolves due to left knee soreness, with the team targeting a potential return Thursday. His absence should open rotation minutes for Collin Gillespie, Jordan Goodwin, and Royce O'Neale. Goodwin logged 24 minutes with six points, five rebounds, four assists, and two steals last game, making him a deep-league steals and assists streamer. Gillespie and O'Neale also remain low-end streaming options for managers needing threes or defensive stats. Allen is averaging 29.8 minutes with a 23.9 usage rate, though managers in the fantasy playoffs may need to prioritize available players if roster spots are tight.

Jaylon Tyson • SF • Cavaliers

Jaylon Tyson is Returning on Tuesday

Cleveland Cavaliers guard/forward Jaylon Tyson (ankle) is available to play ahead of Tuesday's game against the Milwaukee Bucks. Tyson is back in the mix following a one-game absence due to left ankle soreness. He has been playing off the bench recently, and that'll likely remain the case with Sam Merrill (hamstring) available on Tuesday. Over the last four games, Tyson is averaging 7.8 points, 2.8 rebounds, and 1.8 assists in 21. 0 minutes per game. He's not the most consistent player on the planet, but Tyson is at least worth rostering in deep leagues.

Myles Turner • C • Bucks

Myles Turner is Unavailable for Tuesday's Contest

Milwaukee Bucks center Myles Turner (calf) has been ruled out ahead of Tuesday's game against the Cleveland Cavaliers. Turner has been dealing with a lingering knee issue, but will actually sit this game out due to a calf injury. The Bucks are going to be thin with Giannis Antetokounmpo (knee) also sidelined for this game. Bobby Portis should play a significant role, with Jericho Sims and Pete Nance also seeing more action on the court. Portis is looking like a must-start, while Sims and Nance are viewed as deep league options.

Aaron Nesmith • PF • Pacers

Aaron Nesmith is Available for Tuesday's Game

Indiana Pacers guard/forward Aaron Nesmith (ankle) is available to play ahead of Tuesday's game against the New York Knicks. Nesmith was questionable for the front end of this back-to-back set, but will ultimately play. He finished with 32 points, including seven three-pointers in Sunday's game against the Milwaukee Bucks. He's unlikely to do that again, but Nesmith remains a viable and consistent enough fantasy option to trust right now. Fantasy managers can get him active in their lineups ahead of tip-off.

Andrew Nembhard • PG • Pacers

Andrew Nembhard is Ruled Out on Tuesday

Indiana Pacers guard Andrew Nembhard (calf) has been ruled out ahead of Tuesday's game against the New York Knicks. Nembhard will miss his second straight game due to a bruised right calf. The expectation is that T.J. McConnell will move into the starting five once again. McConnell finished with nine points and 11 assists across 28 minutes of action on Sunday. He figures to play a similar role on Tuesday, which should make McConnell a viable streaming option.

Ivica Zubac • C • Pacers

Ivica Zubac is Upgraded to Available

Indiana Pacers center Ivica Zubac (ankle) has been upgraded to available ahead of Tuesday's game against the New York Knicks. He was tagged as questionable coming into the game due to a left ankle sprain. Despite the issue, Zubac is ready to go and will suit up for Tuesday's contest. He's averaging 9.7 points, 7.0 rebounds, and 1.7 assists across three games with the Pacers. When healthy, Zubac is a consistent contributor who should be rostered and started in most fantasy formats. He could be asked to do more on offense with Pascal Siakam (knee) still sidelined.

Pascal Siakam • PF • Pacers

Pascal Siakam to Miss Fifth Straight Game

Indiana Pacers forward/center Pascal Siakam (knee) has been ruled out ahead of Tuesday's game against the New York Knicks. Siakam is set to miss his fifth straight game due to a right knee sprain. His next chance to play will come on Wednesday versus the Portland Trail Blazers. Without Siakam available, Obi Toppin, Kobe Brown, and Micah Potter should all see increased roles in the rotation. Among the three, Toppin is probably the best of the bunch, but none of the players are anything more than deep league options.

Mitchell Robinson is Cleared for Tuesday's Game

New York Knicks center Mitchell Robinson (back) has been upgraded to available ahead of Tuesday's game against the Indiana Pacers. He was initially tagged as questionable for this contest, but Robinson is feeling good enough to play. Karl-Anthony Towns is active as well, so Robinson will resume his role as the primary backup center. Robinson is an elite rebounder and excellent at blocking shots, but doesn't offer a ton of upside outside of that. Fantasy managers can feel safe getting Robinson back in their lineups ahead of tip-off.

Jalen Brunson • PG • Knicks

Jalen Brunson Gets Downgraded to Out

New York Knicks guard Jalen Brunson (ankle) has been downgraded to out ahead of Tuesday's game against the Indiana Pacers. He started the day off as questionable, but has been downgraded all the way to out. This is obviously a tough blow to fantasy managers with Brunson's next chance to play not coming until Friday against the Nets. The absence of Brunson should mean increased playing time for Jose Alvarado, Landry Shamet, and possibly Tyler Kolek. Shamet is the best streaming choice among the three guards due to his ability to shoot the three-ball.
