  • Thunder's Isaiah Hartenstein: Questionable for Tuesday

    Hartenstein (calf) is questionable for Tuesday's game against the Magic.

    Hartenstein is on the injury report for right soleus management after missing 16 games with a strain before returning for the Thunder's past two contests. Since returning to action, the big man is averaging 7.5 points, 5.0 rebounds and 1.5 assists in 20.0 minutes per game, coming off the bench Thursday before joining the starting lineup Sunday. If Hartenstein is ruled out Tuesday, Jaylin Williams (shoulder) could see an expanded role if available, with Kenrich Williams and Branden Carlson also candidates for additional usage.

    Jazz's Jusuf Nurkic: Resting Tuesday

    Nurkic is out for Tuesday's game against the Pacers for rest purposes.

    Nurkic's availability is becoming quite sporadic as of late. That said, the expectation should be that the veteran big man will be back in the lineup for Thursday's matchup in Atlanta. The center minutes figure to be divvied up among Kyle Filipowski, Kevin Love and Taylor Hendricks on Tuesday.

  • Hawks' Kristaps Porzingis: Questionable for Tuesday

    Porzingis (Achilles) is questionable for Tuesday's game against Miami, Brad Rowland of the Locked On Podcast Network reports.

    Porzingis has missed the past 12 games due to left Achilles tendonitis, and while a questionable tag doesn't guarantee he'll play, it does signal progress toward a return. If Porzingis remains sidelined Tuesday, Mouhamed Gueye and Christian Koloko will be tasked with holding things down at center with Onyeka Okongwu (mouth) already ruled out.

  • Hawks' Onyeka Okongwu: Ruled out for Tuesday

    Okongwu is out for Tuesday's game against the Heat due to a dental fracture, per Brad Rowland of the Locked On Podcast Network.

    Okongwu is unavailable for a third matchup in a row with the issue. The 2020 first-rounder can be considered day-to-day ahead of Thursday's tilt against the Jazz. Mouhamed Gueye and Christian Koloko could both be worthy of streaming attention Tuesday, though that does partly hinge upon the potential availability of Kristaps Porzingis (Achilles).

  • Knicks' Mitchell Robinson: Sitting out Tuesday

    Robinson is out for Tuesday's game against the Wizards due to left ankle injury management.

    The Knicks are choosing to give Robinson the night off ahead of Wednesday's clash with the Nuggets. Ariel Hukporti should move into the No. 2 center spot behind Karl-Anthony Towns, but that role is unlikely to yield enough playing time for fantasy relevance in most situations.

  • Alex Sarr C | WAS

    Wizards' Alex Sarr: Available for Tuesday

    Sarr (calf) is available for Tuesday's game against the Knicks.

    Sarr is no longer appearing on the injury report after missing Sunday's game against the Kings. With this news, Marvin Bagley will likely retreat to the second unit after a productive 19-minute stint Sunday.

  • Trail Blazers' Donovan Clingan: Swats four shots in loss

    Clingan had eight points (3-10 FG, 1-3 3Pt, 1-1 FT), 12 rebounds, five assists and four blocks across 27 minutes during Sunday's 130-111 loss to the Cavaliers.

    Clingan struggled in the scoring column but finished one assist shy of his season-high mark. The second-year center also recorded a team-best 12 rebounds and has grabbed double-digit boards in four of his last five outings. Additionally, he tied the game high in blocks and has swatted 10 shots over his last four games. During that four-game span, he has averaged 9.5 points, 13.3 rebounds, 2.5 blocks and 2.3 assists in 26.8 minutes per contest.

  • Kings' Maxime Raynaud: Adds 14 points in defeat

    Raynaud closed with 14 points (6-9 FG, 1-1 3Pt, 1-2 FT), six rebounds, two blocks, one assist and one steal across 27 minutes during Sunday's 116-112 loss to the Wizards.

    The rookie second-rounder got the starting nod for a second consecutive contest due to Domantas Sabonis (back) being sidelined. Raynaud was effective in the first unit, finishing as Sacramento's third-leading scorer while matching the team-high mark in rebounds. The Stanford product should continue to see consistent burn off the bench whenever Sabonis is available, and the former is a viable streaming option when he joins the starting five.

  • Celtics' Neemias Queta: Fares well in win

    Queta chipped in 14 points (7-10 FG), eight rebounds, four assists and one block across 31 minutes during Sunday's 107-79 win over Milwaukee.

    This was a solid showing for Queta as he showcased his improved playmaking ability -- this was his seventh career game with at least four dimes. He's quietly been a solid late-round fantasy producer, and his fantasy managers will be hoping that the Celtics don't add any frontcourt competition at the trade deadline.

  • Wizards' Marvin Bagley: Efficient shooting in return

    Bagley (back) accounted for 15 points (7-8 FG, 1-1 3Pt), six rebounds, two assists, one steal and one block across 19 minutes in Sunday's 116-112 win over the Kings.

    Bagley made his first appearance since Jan. 19 after being sidelined due to an illness and a thoracic strain. Though he typically handles a reserve role, Bagley moved into the starting five in his return while top center Alex Sarr (calf) sat out. Though Bagley was a highly efficient scorer during his time on the court, he ended up sitting out the final 16 minutes of the game while the Wizards leaned more heavily on their second unit to finish out the contest. If Sarr remains out for Tuesday's game against the 31-18 Knicks, expect Bagley to start and take on a greater minutes load, since the 13-35 Wizards won't be as incentivized to bench starters like they did against another non-contending team in the 12-39 Kings.
