Jock Landale C | ATL
Rockets' Jock Landale: Lands increased role Tuesday
Landale produced 11 points (5-8 FG, 1-2 3Pt), four rebounds, five assists, one block and two steals across 26 minutes during Tuesday's 103-101 win over the Spurs.
Landale served up arguably his best game of the season, playing at least 20 minutes for the first time all year. With Alperen Sengun likely sidelined for the remainder of the season due to knee and ankle injuries, Landale could find himself a key piece of the rotation moving forward. While his role could be dependent on who the opposition is, he is worth considering given his ability to contribute across multiple categories.

Trey Jemison C | TOR
Grizzlies' Trey Jemison: Drops career-high 24 points
Jemison logged 24 points (11-13 FG, 2-2 FT), six rebounds and two blocks over 31 minutes during Tuesday's 109-97 win over Washington.
With Jaren Jackson (quad) sidelined, Jemison started at center and scored a career-high 24 points in the win, more than he had managed in his previous four games combined. It appears he will feature in the rotation moving forward, but the Grizzlies are by no means running out a predictable lineup on a nightly basis. With no guarantees he will suit up Wednesday, he makes for a tough hold in standard formats.

Timberwolves' Rudy Gobert: Questionable to return Tuesday
Gobert is questionable to return to Tuesday's game versus the Clippers due to a left rib injury.
Gobert left Tuesday's contest with 7:18 remaining in the fourth quarter after getting undercut by Clippers center Ivica Zubac, Dane Moore of 'The Dane Moore NBA Podcast' reports. With the game almost over, it seems likely that Naz Reid will finish out the matchup at center.

Gobert left Tuesday's game versus the Clippers with 7:18 remaining in the fourth quarter to head to the locker room with an apparent injury to his ribs, Justin Russo of the 'Clip & Roll' podcast reports.
Gobert tallied eight points (4-7 FG), 11 rebounds, three assists, two steals and two blocks in 33 minutes before exiting Tuesday's contest. If Gobert is unable to return, Naz Reid will likely close out the game at center.

Timberwolves' Naz Reid: Briefly exits Tuesday
Reid left Tuesday's game versus the Clippers with 5:16 remaining in the first quarter after rolling his right ankle but returned with 3:55 remaining in the same period, Jack Borman of Locked on Sports Minnesota reports.
Despite having an injury scare, Reid ultimately missed less than two minutes of action Tuesday. The 24-year-old big man is seemingly available to play out the rest of the game.

Timberwolves' Naz Reid: Coming off bench
Reid will come off the bench against the Clippers on Tuesday, Tomer Azarly of ClutchPoints.com reports.
Rudy Gobert (hamstring) is back in the lineup for Minnesota, so this is an expected move. Reid stepped up in a big way during Sunday's loss to the Lakers, finishing with 25 points (9-17 FG, 5-10 3Pt, 2-3 FT), five rebounds, three assists and four blocks across 42 minutes. While he'll operate off the bench, Reid should still play increased minutes as long as Karl-Anthony Towns (knee) remains sidelined.

Jazz's Walker Kessler: Returns to bench
Kessler isn't in the starting five for Tuesday's game versus the Celtics, David Locke of Jazz radio reports.

Kornet is in the starting lineup for Tuesday's game versus the Jazz.
With Kristaps Porzingis (hamstring) and Al Horford (toe) out, Kornet will enter the starting lineup. Kornet is averaging 13.0 points, 8.5 rebounds, 3.5 assists and 3.0 blocks in 31.5 minutes across his previous two starts this season.

Rudy Gobert C | MIN
Timberwolves' Rudy Gobert: Will play versus Clippers
Gobert (hamstring) will play versus the Clippers on Tuesday, Chris Hine of the Minneapolis Star Tribune reports.
Gobert didn't play Sunday night against the Lakers, but he has the green light to suit up Tuesday, and coach Chris Finch didn't mention any restrictions. Naz Reid is likely to lose some steam with Minnesota getting some reinforcements, but Karl-Anthony Towns (knee) remains out indefinitely.
