Murray (hamstring/hip) is available for Tuesday's game against the Pistons.

After missing Friday's win over Milwaukee, Murray will shake off his probable tag due to inflammation in his right hamstring and left hip. The star point guard has averaged 28.6 points, 5.8 assists, 2.4 rebounds and 1.0 steals in 34.8 minutes per game over his last five outings.

Wiggins will start Tuesday versus the Pelicans, Clemente Almanza of USA Today reports.

Joining Wiggins in the starting unit for Tuesday's game will be Shai Gilgeous-Alexander, Luguentz Dort, Jaylin Williams and Chet Holmgren. In 11 starts this season, Wiggins has averaged 13.4 points, 4.9 rebounds, 2.2 assists, 2.5 triples, 1.3 steals and 1.4 blocks per game.

Harris won't start against Philadelphia on Tuesday.

The veteran swingman will move to the second unit in favor of Bobby Portis on Tuesday. In seven games off the bench this month, Harris has averaged 2.4 points, 1.9 rebounds and 1.3 assists in 14.4 minutes per tilt.

Portis is in the starting lineup for Tuesday's matchup with the 76ers.

Joining Portis in the first unit for Tuesday's game will be Ryan Rollins, AJ Green, Kyle Kuzma and Myles Turner. Over six starts this season, Portis has produced averages of 16.0 points, 9.0 rebounds, 1.5 assists, 1.7 triples and 1.0 steals per game.

Drummond won't start against the Bucks on Tuesday, Ky Carlin of USA Today reports.

With Joel Embiid (knee) back in action, Drummond will slide to the second unit. The veteran big man is a viable streaming option whenever Embiid is unavailable, though the latter has recorded a DNP-CD in four straight games with Embiid in the lineup, meaning Drummond isn't guaranteed to see meaningful playing time Tuesday.

Embiid (knee) will start Tuesday versus the Bucks, Ky Carlin of USA Today reports.

Embiid is back after a one-game absence. He'll be joined in the first unit by Tyrese Maxey, VJ Edgecombe, Paul George and Kelly Oubre. Embiid has logged 30-plus minutes and has scored at least 30 points in four straight games, and he'll look to make it five in a row Tuesday evening.

Traore (illness) is available for Tuesday's game against the Suns, Erik Slater of ClutchPoints.com reports.

Traore missed Sunday's loss to the Clippers due to an illness but will shed his probable tag and suit up Tuesday. The rookie first-rounder has seen consistent burn across 13 appearances this month, averaging 7.8 points, 3.5 assists and 1.5 rebounds across 23.5 minutes per tilt during that span.

George (knee) is available for Tuesday's game against the Bucks.

George was being listed as probable, and now we have official confirmation that he'll be available. The 35-year-old veteran has put in averages of 15.4 points, 5.3 rebounds, 3.6 assists, 2.2 triples and 1.4 steals per game this season.

Livers (illness) won't play Tuesday versus the Nets, Kellan Olson of ArizonaSports.com reports.

Livers was initially listed as probable for Tuesday's game, but it seems his illness has gotten worse as the day progressed. Livers is an inconsistent part of the rotation in Phoenix, so his absence from the active roster won't influence most fantasy leagues.

Cryer (hamstring) is listed as questionable for Wednesday's game against the Jazz.

Cryer is in danger of missing a second consecutive contest due to left hamstring tightness. The two-way player has yet to log more than three minutes in a game with the parent club this season, so his potential absence shouldn't affect the Golden State rotation.
