Powell is questionable for Tuesday's game against the Hawks for personal reasons.

Powell is in jeopardy of missing a third consecutive contest. If the swingman is unable to rejoin the team in time for Tuesday, Pelle Larsson would continue to experience a big boost in streaming appeal in all fantasy leagues.

Thiero (knee) will not play Tuesday against the Nets.

Thiero has been sidelined with his MCL sprain since late December and remains without a clear target date to return. He was not a consistent part of the rotation prior to his injury, however.

Saric (not with team) will not play Tuesday against the Bucks.

Saric has yet to join the Bulls following his trade from Sacramento. He's not guaranteed rotation minutes once he arrives.

Phillips is questionable for Tuesday's game against the Bucks with a right wrist sprain.

Phillips is at risk of sitting out for the first time since Jan. 24. That said, his possible absence would appear to have a negligible impact on the Chicago rotation.

Huerter (back) is questionable for Tuesday's game against the Bucks.

Huerter is in jeopardy of missing his second straight contest for Chicago. If he is able to get the green light, he'd likely see more usage than normal with Josh Giddey (hamstring) still on the shelf.

Smith is questionable for Tuesday's game against the Bucks due to right calf cramping.

Smith is in danger of missing a third consecutive contest with the issue. If the big man remains out, Lachlan Olbrich should step into the backup center role behind Nikola Vucevic, but the former wouldn't carry much fantasy appeal in that spot.

James (leg) is questionable for Tuesday's game against the Nets.

James remains day-to-day for the Lakers, but he's not a consistent rotation player and his status is mostly irrelevant in fantasy hoops.

Gill is questionable for Tuesday's game against New York with a right hand contusion.

With Washington shorthanded, Gill saw extended run Sunday against the Kings, but he finished scoreless in 27 minutes. He remains miles off the fantasy radar.

Johnson (ankle) will not play Tuesday against the Knicks.

Johnson will be sidelined for a third straight game and continues to be ruled out a day in advance, suggesting he's not quite day-to-day yet. In the meantime, the Wizards will likely continue to lean on Bub Carrington as their floor general.

Giddey is out for Tuesday's game against the Bucks with a left hamstring strain.

Giddey will be sidelined for a fourth contest in a row with the injury. The star guard's next chance to play comes Thursday in Toronto. Ayo Dosunmu should handle a more pronounced role in the Chicago backcourt until Giddey is cleared to return to action.
