Lakers' Anthony Davis: Game-time call for Tuesday
Davis is questionable for Tuesday's game against the Wizards due to right calf soreness, Ryan Ward of LakersNation.com reports.
Davis has frequented the injury report throughout the season and recently missed a game Friday against the Nets due to the foot injury. He's now dealing with a calf issue, an injury he'll test out in shootaround or pregame warmups to determine if he feels healthy enough to go Tuesday.

Jazz's Kyle Filipowski: Starting Monday
Filipowski will start for the Jazz in Monday's game against the Pelicans.
With Lauri Markkanen (back) and John Collins (hip) out, Filipowski will have another chance to take advantage of starting minutes. In the eight games he did start this season, Filipowski has averaged 8.0 points, 5.8 rebounds, 2.3 assists and 0.8 steals across 22.5 minutes.

Jazz's Drew Eubanks: Back to bench Monday
Eubanks won't start in Monday's game against the Pelicans.
After scoring a season-high 17 points in Friday's spot start against the Pelicans, Eubanks will revert to Utah's second unit in the return of Walker Kessler (rest) on Monday. As a result, Eubanks will carry minimal streaming value against New Orleans.

Andre Drummond C | PHI
76ers' Andre Drummond: Questionable for Tuesday
Drummond (toe) is questionable for Tuesday's game against the Nuggets.
Drummond is iffy to play Tuesday due to left toe injury recovery, so it doesn't sound like a serious issue. Guerschon Yabusele (knee) would see extended run at center if he's active for the 76ers and if Drummond sits out against Denver, considering Joel Embiid (foot) won't be available.

Goga Bitadze C | ORL
Magic's Goga Bitadze: Remaining out Tuesday
Bitadze (concussion) has been ruled out for Tuesday's game against the Raptors, Mason Williams of SI.com reports.
Bitadze is set to miss his fourth straight matchup while working his way through the league's concussion protocol. His next opportunity to return will arrive Thursday against the Trail Blazers.

Jock Landale C | ATL
Rockets' Jock Landale: Serves as backup center in return
Landale (personal) recorded six points (2-5 FG, 2-2 FT), three rebounds and one steal across 10 minutes off the bench in Monday's 107-96 loss to the Pistons.
The Rockets ruled out Steven Adams (migraine) for Monday's contest, but Landale stepped in to serve as Alperen Sengun's primary backup after missing the previous three games while tending to a personal matter. Assuming Adams is back in action for the Rockets' next game Wednesday versus the Cavaliers, Landale will likely find himself back outside of the rotation.

Chris Boucher C | BOS
Raptors' Chris Boucher: Uncertain to play Tuesday
Boucher is questionable for Tuesday's game against Orlando due to an illness, Blake Murphy of Sportsnet.ca reports.
The ailment prevented Boucher from practicing Monday, but the Raptors will check back in on him Tuesday before deciding on his status for the matchup with the Magic. Boucher has recently been reintegrated into the Toronto rotation, appearing in each of the last six contests while averaging 12.7 points and 6.2 rebounds in 17.5 minutes.

Robert Williams III C | POR
Trail Blazers' Robert Williams: Iffy for Tuesday
Williams (ankle) is questionable for Tuesday's game against the Heat.
Williams missed the second leg of Portland's back-to-back set Sunday against the Bulls and remains day-to-day. With Williams out of the lineup Sunday, Deandre Ayton logged 37 minutes, compared to 11 for Jabari Walker.

Ivica Zubac C | IND
Clippers' Ivica Zubac: Out Monday with eye issue
Zubac won't play Monday against the Bulls due to a left eye corneal abrasion, Tomer Azarly of ClutchPoints.com reports.
Zubac played through a back injury in Sunday's 116-102 win over the Lakers, finishing with 21 points (9-16 FG, 3-3 FT), 19 rebounds, three assists, three blocks and one steal in 35 minutes. However, he was poked in the eye during that contest, so the Clippers will give him the night off in the second leg of a back-to-back set. With Zubac sidelined, Mo Bamba and Nicolas Batum will likely cover most of the minutes at center.

Mason Plumlee C | SA
Suns' Mason Plumlee: Moves to second unit
Plumlee will come off the bench Monday against the Cavaliers.
Plumlee's fantasy managers probably saw this one coming after Nick Richards had a tremendous showing in his season debut Saturday against the Pistons. Plumlee is likely to see minutes in the high teens to lower 20s most nights as Richards' backup.
