Cole Anthony Will Not Play On Tuesday
Orlando Magic point guard Cole Anthony (illness) has been ruled out for Tuesday's contest against Toronto. He has failed to shake off an illness ahead of the game. The Magic will start the game with Anthony Black at the point guard position, while Cory Joseph and Trevelin Queen could get extra burn off the bench. Black has played well as of late, averaging 11.6 points, 3.7 assists, and 1.1 steals for the month.

Kris Murray Ruled Out For Tuesday
Portland Trail Blazers forward Kris Murray (chest) will not feature against Miami on Tuesday. He has been downgraded from questionable to out. The team will also be without Toumani Camara (illness), leaving Portland without two rotational pieces for the game. Dalano Banton and Rayan Rupert are in a position to benefit from the situation, but they have not previously done enough to warrant fantasy attention.

Toumani Camara Out On Tuesday
Portland Trail Blazers forward Toumani Camara (illness) will come out of the lineup on Tuesday against Miami. He was a late addition to the injury report due to an illness, and the team has officially ruled him out for the contest ahead of tip-off. Camara's absence should allow Shaedon Sharpe to regain a starting role. He came off the bench for the third time this season in the last game against Chicago.

Robert Williams III Cleared To Play Tuesday
Portland Trail Blazers center Robert Williams III (ankle) will return to the lineup on Tuesday against Miami. He has been upgraded from questionable to available. Williams III is in the midst of another injury-hit campaign and most recently sustained a left ankle injury that kept him sidelined for one game. The former Celtic will fill backup minutes behind Deandre Ayton at the center position. He will likely not have a major impact in the game, as Williams III has been limited to 6.2 points and 5.1 rebounds this season.

Tyler Herro Misses Tuesday's Game
Miami Heat guard Tyler Herro (groin) will sit out Tuesday's matchup against Portland. He will miss his first game of the season after being a late addition to the injury report due to tightness in his right groin. Terry Rozier and Alec Burks look set for larger roles in the rotation with Herro out, while his absence also opens up additional offensive usage for the likes of Jimmy Butler and Duncan Robinson.

Kevin Love Available Versus Portland
Miami Heat center Kevin Love (personal) is available for Tuesday's game against the Portland Trail Blazers. Love has only played one of the past four Heat contests due to personal reasons. The 36-year-old big man has only played 17 games this season, averaging 6.1 points, 4.4 rebounds, and 1.1 assists across 11.6 minutes per game. He won't have much of an impact in fantasy with Bam Adebayo healthy this evening.

Anfernee Simons Available Versus Heat
Portland Trail Blazers guard Anfernee Simons (elbow) will be active against Miami on Tuesday. He has been upgraded from questionable to available, meaning Simons will miss just one game because of an elbow strain. Simons' season has been a rollercoaster ride, but he sits second in scoring on the Trail Blazers team, averaging 18.0 points per game. His return will send Scoot Henderson back to the bench, although we should still see plenty of him on Tuesday, as Henderson has logged 30-plus minutes regularly as of late.

Chris Boucher Will Not Play Tuesday
Toronto Raptors forward/center Chris Boucher (illness) has been ruled out for Tuesday's contest against Orlando. This isn't a surprise, as Boucher is feeling under the weather and couldn't practice on Monday. He was listed as questionable on the initial injury report. With Boucher out of commission, Kelly Olynyk and Jonathan Mogbo should get extra work off the bench, but they have not been good fantasy options this season. Boucher will have his first chance to return on Thursday versus Atlanta.

Anthony Davis Probable Versus Wizards For Tuesday
Khobi Price of The Orange County Register reports that Los Angeles Lakers center Anthony Davis (calf) has been upgraded to probable for Tuesday's contest with the Washington Wizards. Davis was deemed questionable earlier in the day as he has played through a foot problem the entire season but is currently dealing with calf soreness. If the 31-year-old has a pregame setback, Jaxson Hayes will see an expanded role against the Wizards, who allow the most fantasy points in the league to opposing centers.

Zaccharie Risacher To Miss At Least One More Week
Atlanta Hawks forward Zaccharie Risacher (adductor) will miss at least one more week of action. The team announced on Tuesday that Risacher will be re-evaluated in one week. He has been out for three games already due to a strained left adductor. Risacher's absence is set to stretch to at least seven games. Vit Krejci has moved to the starting unit as Risacher's replacement. He's averaging 9.7 points, 2.8 rebounds, 3.7 assists, and 1.0 steals in that role for the campaign. De'Andre Hunter's fantasy stock has also received a boost. He has logged 30-plus minutes in back-to-back games for the first time this season.

Tyler Herro Questionable For Tuesday's Matchup With Portland
Miami Heat guard Tyler Herro (groin) is questionable for Tuesday's game against the Portland Trail Blazers. Herro was added to the injury report due to right groin soreness. The 25-year-old is having a productive season, averaging 24.0 points, 5.7 rebounds, and 5.0 assists in 35.3 minutes across 41 games. If he's unable to suit up, Terry Rozier and Jimmy Butler will see plenty of extra scoring opportunities, while Jaime Jaquez will take on more minutes.

D'Angelo Russell Upgraded To Probable For Tuesday
The Brooklyn Nets announced guard D'Angelo Russell (hamstring) has been upgraded to probable ahead of Tuesday's game against the New York Knicks. Russell looked fine during Sunday's matchup with Oklahoma City, where he finished with nine points, four rebounds, and seven assists in 23 minutes of action. It's doubtful, but if the 28-year-old is sidelined, Keon Johnson and Jalen Wilson will see an uptick in minutes on the floor. Wilson is coming off a 15-point performance, but Johnson is usually the most dependable fantasy streaming option between the two players.

Josh Hart Likely Playing Tuesday
New York Knicks forward Josh Hart (neck) is probable for Tuesday's contest against the Brooklyn Nets. Hart was questionable on Monday but played against the Hawks posting 14 points, nine rebounds, five assists, and two steals across 37 minutes. He's suited up for all 43 Knicks games this season, averaging 14.2 points, 9.5 rebounds, 5.5 assists and 1.5 steals. Karl-Anthony Towns (thumb) is likely playing as well. Both players didn't have restrictions on them during their last outing, meaning they could be significant contributors across all fantasy formats this evening.

Cole Anthony Listed As Questionable Versus Knicks
Orlando Magic guard Cole Anthony (illness) is questionable for Tuesday's contest against the Toronto Raptors. Jonathan Isaac (illness) and Anthony were late additions to the injury report. In Anthony's last outing, he collected nine points, six rebounds, five assists, and two steals across 29 minutes on Sunday against Denver. The Magic's backcourt is already depleted, with Jalen Suggs (back) ruled out. Anthony Black will likely see an expanded role if Anthony is unavailable to suit up.

Ben Simmons Ruled Out On Tuesday
The Brooklyn Nets announced guard/center Ben Simmons (illness) has been ruled out for Tuesday's matchup against the Knicks. Simmons was listed as probable earlier in the day but will be out of the rotation due to an illness. The same illness kept him out of action on Sunday against Oklahoma City. His next chance to suit up comes on Wednesday versus Phoenix. Until then, Keon Johnson and Tyrese Martin will receive more minutes on the floor.

Karl-Anthony Towns Probable For Tuesday
New York Knicks center Karl-Anthony Towns (thumb) is listed as probable for Tuesday's matchup with the Brooklyn Nets. Towns played against the Hawks on Monday after missing two games due to a thumb injury. The 29-year-old posted 13 points, nine rebounds, seven assists, and a block across 37 minutes. KAT playing in back-to-back games gives the Knicks a nice boost for their Tuesday matchup, and he can be used as typical in all fantasy formats.

Malcolm Brogdon Misses Ninth Consecutive Game
Washington Wizards guard Malcolm Brogdon (foot) will miss a ninth consecutive game on Tuesday against the Lakers. The veteran guard has made only three appearances since the turn of the year, and it's unclear when we will see him back on the court. With Brogdon out, rookies Carlton Carrington and Kyshawn George feature prominently in the rotation. However, both players offer inconsistent production due to their lack of experience. Corey Kispert also has a chance to log more minutes, and he will look to register his fourth straight game with 10-plus points.

Kris Murray Iffy For Tuesday's Contest
Portland Trail Blazers forward Kris Murray (chest) has picked up a questionable tag ahead of Tuesday's meeting with Miami. He is listed on the injury report with a chest contusion. Murray averages close to 15 minutes per game this season, but his three-point shots have not been dropping, and he has been limited to 4.4 points and 2.3 rebounds. Dalano Banton and Rayan Rupert might see more action off the Trail Blazers bench if Murray is out on Tuesday, but they are not viable fantasy options.

Guerschon Yabusele Questionable Tuesday
Philadelphia 76ers forward/center Guerschon Yabusele (knee) is questionable for Tuesday's contest against Denver. He may be out for a third consecutive game due to a knee issue. Joel Embiid (knee) will not be on the court, and Andre Drummond (toe) is also questionable, meaning Philadelphia might be forced to roll with an extremely shorthanded frontcourt against Nikola Jokic. Adem Bona and Pete Nance shared the minutes at center against Milwaukee on Sunday. They will play significant roles again versus the Nuggets if Yabusele and Drummond can't make it.

Kenyon Martin Jr. Continues To Sit Tuesday
Philadelphia 76ers forward Kenyon Martin Jr. (foot) remains out for Tuesday's tilt against Denver. The 24-year-old is working his way back from a left foot stress reaction. It was reported last week that Martin Jr. has been cleared for on-court activities but remains without a clear timeline for his return to action. Martin Jr. averaged 6.4 points and 3.0 rebounds across 20.0 minutes before landing on the shelf. With Philadelphia also battling other injuries, Jeff Dowtin Jr., Justin Edwards, and Ricky Council IV have stepped into the rotation, while veteran Eric Gordon has seen an uptick in playing time.
