Kevin Huerter Traded to Detroit

The Detroit Pistons have acquired shooting guard Kevin Huerter in a three-way trade with the Chicago Bulls and the Minnesota Timberwolves. Huerter has spent the past two seasons with the Bulls, averaging 11.7 points, 3.6 rebounds, and 2.8 assists in 26 minutes per game. With Huerter heading to Detroit, he should have a smaller role given the Pistons' depth at the shooting guard position. His path to fantasy value likely involves an injury or another move that opens more minutes for him to contribute. For the Bulls, newly acquired Jaden Ivey and Isaac Okoro should benefit from Huerter's departure.

Mike Conley Traded to Bulls

The Chicago Bulls have acquired former All-Star guard Mike Conley in a three-way trade with the Minnesota Timberwolves and the Detroit Pistons. Conley has spent the past four seasons in Minnesota, starting 173 of 215 games and averaging 9.2 points, 2.1 rebounds, and 4.7 assists. This season, he has started just nine of 44 games and has averaged a career-low 18 minutes, prompting his trade to Chicago. With Coby White involved in trade rumors, Conley will compete for minutes with Ayo Dosunmu, Tre Jones, and Jaden Ivey, who was acquired from the Pistons in this three-way trade. Conley remains outside fantasy relevance at this point, while this move clears enough salary for Minnesota to target a big-name piece at this trade deadline.

Taylor Hendricks Dealt to Memphis

Third-year forward Taylor Hendricks is being traded from the Utah Jazz to the Memphis Grizzlies, according to ESPN's Shams Charania. Hendricks is one of the seven assets moving to Memphis, alongside Walter Clayton Jr., Kyle Anderson, Georges Niang, and three future first-round picks forJaren Jackson Jr., John Konchar, Jock Landale, and Vince Williams Jr. Although he struggled to find consistent playing time in Utah, the trade brings new signs of life to Hendricks' career. The 22-year-old has shown flashes of potential, and now joins a depleted frontcourt in Memphis. Jackson and Landale were two healthy big men, with Zach Edey (ankle) and Brandon Clarke (calf) injured. There could be plenty of playing time for Hendricks on the now-tanking Grizzlies.

Jaden Ivey Traded to Chicago

The Chicago Bulls have acquired guard Jaden Ivey in a three-way trade between the Detroit Pistons and the Minnesota Timberwolves. Ivey has played in 33 games this season, averaging 8.2 points, 2.2 rebounds, and 1.6 assists in under 17 minutes per game. The fourth-year guard has regressed significantly from his strong 2024 campaign, and injuries and lackluster play have limited his role dramatically. The trade should boost Ivey's value, as he should be fighting for a starting spot with the Bulls, with trade rumors swirling around Coby White. Fantasy managers should look to add Ivey if he's available in their leagues, as he appears likely to have more playing time in Chicago than in Detroit.

Jock Landale • C • Jazz

Jock Landale Moving From Memphis to Utah

Memphis Grizzlies center Jock Landale will soon be a member of the Utah Jazz, according to ESPN's Shams Charania. The 30-year-old is part of the trade that will send Jaren Jackson Jr., John Konchar, and Vince Williams Jr. to Utah for Walter Clayton Jr., Kyle Anderson, Taylor Hendricks, Georges Niang, and three first-round picks. Landale goes from being a frequent starter in Memphis to an extremely crowded frontcourt in Utah. He'll compete with Jackson, Lauri Markkanen, Jusuf Nurkic, and Kyle Filipowski for minutes, with veteran Kevin Love also in the mix. There's potential for Utah to make another trade to clear up frontcourt minutes, but if that doesn't happen, Landale's fantasy basketball stock takes a big hit. He was previously averaging a career-best 11.3 points and 6.5 rebounds in Memphis.

Jaren Jackson Jr. Traded to Utah

Two-time All-Star power forward Jaren Jackson Jr. is on the move. According to ESPN's Shams Charania, the Grizzlies and Jazz have agreed to a trade that sends Jackson to Utah, along with John Konchar, Jock Landale, and Vince Williams Jr., for Walter Clayton Jr., Kyle Anderson, Taylor Hendricks, Georges Niang, and three first-round picks. Jackson joins a Utah team that is signaling plans to be competitive next season. As for this season, however, the Jazz have shown a tendency to rest players with the most minor of injuries, so JJJ could find himself on the end of the bench in street clothes more often than fantasy basketball managers prefer. On days he is active, he'll start in the frontcourt alongside Lauri Markkanen and Jusuf Nurkic, should Utah go big, or could be called upon to start at the five.

Aaron Nesmith • PF • Pacers

Aaron Nesmith Ruled Out for Tuesday's Game Against the Jazz

Indiana Pacers forward Aaron Nesmith (hand) will be sidelined for his team's Tuesday matchup with the Jazz due to a left hand strain. The team also ruled out Andrew Nembhard (back), Pascal Siakam (rest), and Bennedict Mathurin (rest), so it's hard to know if Nesmith's injury is something that will cost him time going forward or not. He has scored at least 14 points in each of his last five games, and he's establishing himself with a regular role in the lineup. Without so many starters on Tuesday, the team will likely lean heavily on Ben Sheppard, Johnny Furphy, Jarace Walker, and Quenton Jackson to help fill minutes and production on the wings.

Andrew Nembhard • PG • Pacers

Andrew Nembhard Will Not Play Tuesday Against Utah

Indiana Pacers guard Andrew Nembhard (back) will not play on Tuesday, as the team listed him as out due to lower back injury management. Nembhard played 32 minutes against the Rockets on Monday, finishing with seven points and eight assists in the team's four-point defeat. He has dished out at least eight assists in six straight games and has been running the offense with lots of efficiency. Without him and T.J. McConnell (knee) on Tuesday, Quenton Jackson, Kam Jones, and Ethan Thompson could all get work at point guard, with Thompson and Jackson probable on their two-way contracts. Without Nembhard, Pascal Siakam (rest), Bennedict Mathurin (rest), and Aaron Nesmith (hand), the Pacers will provide elite value for DFS value plays and streaming options against the Jazz on Tuesday night.

Pascal Siakam Will Rest on Tuesday

Indiana Pacers forward Pascal Siakam (rest) will not play Tuesday night against the Jazz when his team closes out a back-to-back set. Siakam played 33 minutes on Monday against the Rockets and had 27 points, five assists, and four rebounds. He's been carrying the load for the Pacers' offense this season, and he's one of several key starters getting Tuesday's game off. In his absence, Jarace Walker, Jay Huff, and Micah Potter (hip, questionable) could get more work at power forward, with Isaiah Jackson getting more work at center. It will definitely be a makeshift rotation for the Pacers on Tuesday, but the replacement players should bring DFS and streaming value in a favorable matchup against Utah.

Bennedict Mathurin • SG • Pacers

Bennedict Mathurin Listed as Out on Tuesday

Indiana Pacers guard/forward Bennedict Mathurin (rest) will not play on Tuesday when his team finishes their back-to-back with a home game against the Jazz. Mathurin has played four games since returning from a three-week absence due to a thumb injury, and he played 34 minutes and chipped in 25 points in Monday's close loss to the Rockets. Mathurin's minutes restriction seems to be lifting, and he should be able to continue his return to a full workload on Friday in Milwaukee. It's good news for his future availability that this is being listed as rest and not injury management. Since Mathurin is one of many Pacers getting the night off on Tuesday, Ben Sheppard, Quenton Jackson, Jerace Walker, and Ethan Thompson will all likely get big minutes.

Noah Clowney • PF • Nets

Noah Clowney Ready to Return

Brooklyn Nets forward Noah Clowney (back) has been upgraded to available for his team's Tuesday night home game against the Lakers. Clowney has missed the last five games with a lower back sprain, and he could play limited minutes in his return. He was averaging 13.1 points, 4.3 rebounds, 1.9 assists, and 0.8 blocks in 29 minutes per game across his first 43 games this season, and he'll likely regain his spot in the starting lineup while pushing Danny Wolf back to the bench. The 21-year-old Clowney has flashed lots of upside and potential, but he is still inefficient and unrefined at times. As the Nets play out the rest of this season, they'll probably continue to give him all the work he can handle to evaluate his role going forward.

Norman Powell Downgraded to Doubtful for Tuesday

Miami Heat guard/forward Norman Powell (personal) was downgraded from questionable to doubtful on Tuesday before his team's game against the Atlanta Hawks. He looks likely to miss his third straight game away from the tea. In the games he missed, Myron Gardner and Simone Fontecchio each picked up a start. Since Miami is also without Tyler Herro (ribs), but Davion Mitchell was able to return on Sunday. Without Powell, though, Pelle Larsson, Jaime Jaquez Jr., and Bam Adebayo will continue to carry more work in the offense. The matchup is a good one for the Heat, so if Powell is ruled out, those other options could be great lineup options on Tuesday.

James Harden Trade Coming Soon?

Los Angeles Clippers guard James Harden is working with his current team to line up a trade that sends the veteran guard to a new home before the trade deadline this Thursday. According to Chris Haynes of NBA on Prime, the Clippers have ramped up conversations with the Cleveland Cavaliers regarding a package that would be built around Darius Garland heading to the Clippers. Both teams are motivated to execute the deal relatively soon, so it could be one of the first major deals to go down in the next few days. Harden would join forces with Donovan Mitchell, Evan Mobley, and the rest of the Cavs, who are looking to make a push in the Eastern Conference. Harden missed the Clippers' last two games for personal reasons, and he may have already played his last game in an LA uniform if this deal gets finalized. Harden has averaged 25.4 points, 8.1 assists, 4.8 rebounds, and 3.1 three-pointers made in 35.4 minutes per game in his 44 games so far this season.

Raptors Continue to Discuss Trade for Domantas Sabonis

Trade talks regarding Sacramento Kings center Domantas Sabonis have continued this week with a connection to the Toronto Raptors still developing. According to Michael Scotto of HoopsHype, the framework of a trade for Sabonis would revolve around Raptors guards RJ Barrett and Ochai Agbaji. The potential for a third team to join in on the trade may still be needed in order to help with the financial side of things. Sabonis is Sacramento's best remaining trade chip, though he's had a bit of a down season due to injury. The 29-year-old has consistently been linked to the Raptors this season and would be a great help to keep Toronto near the top of the Eastern Conference.

Isaiah Hartenstein • C • Thunder

Isaiah Hartenstein Uncertain for Tuesday

Oklahoma City Thunder center Isaiah Hartenstein (calf) may exit the lineup again on Tuesday, as the team has listed him as questionable for the first leg of a back-to-back against the Orlando Magic. Hartenstein has just made his first appearances of 2026 after missing time with a calf injury. He has seen only limited action, and it's safe to assume the seven-footer won't play in both games of the upcoming back-to-back. It may be the same for Chet Holmgren (back) and Jaylin Williams (shoulder), who are also listed as questionable on the injury report. The Thunder might lean more on smaller lineups against Orlando, with Aaron Wiggins potentially returning to the starting lineup.

Chet Holmgren Questionable With Back Issue Tuesday

Oklahoma City Thunder forward/center Chet Holmgren (back) is questionable to play on Tuesday night against the Orlando Magic. The defending champions begin a back-to-back set, and it wouldn't be surprising to see Holmgren sit out Tuesday's action, so he can be fresh for Wednesday's tilt against Victor Wembanyama and the San Antonio Spurs. Isaiah Hartenstein (calf) and Jaylin Williams (shoulder) are also listed as questionable on the injury report. If the regular frontcourt contributors don't suit up on Tuesday, Kenrich Williams and Branden Carlson will absorb additional minutes, and the Thunder could utilize smaller lineups more often.

Norman Powell in Danger of Missing Third Consecutive Game

Miami Heat guard/forward Norman Powell (personal) is listed as questionable for Tuesday's contest against the Atlanta Hawks. He exited the lineup last week for personal reasons and could be out for a third consecutive game on Tuesday. Myron Gardner and Simone Fontecchio have each picked up one start during Powell's absence. Meanwhile, with Tyler Herro (ribs) being unavailable as well, Pelle Larsson has stood out offensively, scoring 42 points across the last two games. Without Powell, Bam Adebayo also has a larger role on offense.

Tyler Herro • SG • Heat

Tyler Herro Misses 11th Straight Game

Miami Heat guard Tyler Herro (ribs) is not ready to return to action and will miss an 11th straight game on Tuesday against the Atlanta Hawks. Herro is dealing with a costochondral injury to his ribs, and there haven't been any updates on him since he departed the lineup in mid-January. Fortunately for Miami, Davion Mitchell was back in the lineup on Sunday against the Chicago Bulls, giving the backcourt a slight boost. Pelle Larrson has enjoyed a regular starting role during Herro's absence, producing back-to-back 20-point performances. He does plenty of work in other areas as well, making Larsson an attractive fantasy target.

Michael Porter Jr. Available Against Lakers

Brooklyn Nets forward Michael Porter Jr. (personal) will rejoin the action on Tuesday against the Los Angeles Lakers. Brooklyn's leading scorer missed a pair of games late last week for personal reasons, but the team has removed him from the injury report ahead of Tuesday's game. Danny Wolf has enjoyed a stint as a starter, but he will likely return to the second unit on Tuesday, with Noah Clowney (back) also expected to play. In his last outing, Porter Jr. had a special 38-point performance against his former team, the Denver Nuggets. He is averaging a career-high 25.8 points for the season, adding 7.3 rebounds, 3.2 assists, and 1.1 steals per game.

Jalen Green Iffy for Tuesday Night

Phoenix Suns guard Jalen Green (hamstring, hip) is listed as questionable for Tuesday's tilt against the Portland Trail Blazers. After battling a hamstring injury throughout the campaign, Green also sustained a left hip contusion last week and could be out for a second consecutive game. With Devin Booker (ankle) also out of commission, Dillon Brooks and Grayson Allen led the offense in Sunday's defeat to the Los Angeles Clippers, scoring 45 of the team's 93 points. The backcourt injuries also allow Collin Gillespie and Jordan Goodwin to figure more prominently in the rotation.
