Tre Scott SF | BKN
Nets' Trevon Scott: Starting Tuesday
Scott is in the starting lineup for Tuesday's matchup with the Bucks, C.J. Holmes of the New York Daily News reports.
Scott will be elevated into a starting role in just his third game of the season, and he could see quality minutes with Brooklyn so banged up. Scott produced four points, eight rebounds, three assists, one steal and two blocks over 28 minutes his last time out, so he could be worth a dart throw in daily fantasy leagues.

Taurean Prince SG | MIL
Bucks' Taurean Prince: Starting Tuesday

Ja'Kobe Walter SG | TOR
Raptors' Ja'Kobe Walter: Headed to bench
Walter will come off the bench for Tuesday's game against the Heat.
Immanuel Quickley will replace Walter in the first unit for Tuesday's game, and with Quickley active, Walter's minutes figure to dip. As a member of the second unit this season, Walter has averaged 6.7 points and 1.3 three-pointers per game.

Simone Fontecchio SF | MIA
Heat's Simone Fontecchio: Back to bench Tuesday

Fontecchio got the start in Saturday's 152-136 win over the Wizards, finishing with eight points, one rebound, four assists and one steal in 19 minutes. However, with Tyler Herro (personal) back in the lineup, Fontecchio will head back to the bench.

Norman Powell SG | MIA
Heat's Norman Powell: Not starting Tuesday
Powell is not in the starting lineup for Tuesday's game in Toronto.
Powell will come off the bench in his return from a four-game absence due to an illness, so he may have his minutes monitored in his first game back. As a reserve this season, the veteran wing has averaged 20.3 points, 2.7 assists and 2.0 triples per contest.

Spencer Jones SF | DEN
Nuggets' Spencer Jones: Still out for Wednesday
Jones (hamstring) has been ruled out for Wednesday's game against the Grizzlies.
The 24-year-old forward will miss a fourth consecutive contest due to a right hamstring strain, and it's not an encouraging sign that he continues to be ruled out a day in advance of tipoff. With Jones and Peyton Watson (hamstring) both sidelined, Julian Strawther will likely continue seeing meaningful playing time.

Jordan Hawkins SG | NO
Pelicans' Jordan Hawkins: Upgraded to available
Hawkins (illness) is listed as available for Tuesday's game against Utah.
Hawkins officially has the green light to suit up after initially being listed as questionable. With Zion Williamson, Herbert Jones and Saddiq Bey not expected to see any action, and Dejounte Murray (hand), Yves Missi (hand) and Trey Murphy (ankle) ruled out, Hawkins might find himself in the starting lineup. If anything, he should see more opportunities to produce.
