  • Pelicans' Jordan Hawkins: Dealing with illness

    Hawkins is questionable for Tuesday's game against the Jazz due to an illness.

    Hawkins was a late addition to the injury report, which is never a good sign. However, if he can shake off the ailment, the third-year wing could see expanded minutes, as Dejounte Murray (hand) and Trey Murphy (ankle) remain out. Over his last five appearances, Hawkins has averaged 7.4 points, 1.4 rebounds and 1.0 assists in 19.0 minutes.

  • Wizards' Tristan Vukcevic: Out again Tuesday

    Vukcevic (knee) is out for Tuesday's game against the Bulls.

    Vukcevic is day-to-day, but he'll end up missing his third straight contest Tuesday. Anthony Gill and Julian Reese will likely see sizable workloads as a result.

  • Wizards' Justin Champagnie: Cleared to play Tuesday

    Champagnie (knee) is available for Tuesday's game against the Bulls.

    Champagnie will return to action after sitting out Sunday's loss in Brooklyn, which was the second night of a back-to-back set. Over his past five appearances (one start), the veteran swingman has averaged 12.6 points, 5.0 rebounds, 1.6 assists and 1.2 stocks in 23.6 minutes per game.

  • Wizards' Bilal Coulibaly: Good to go Tuesday

    Coulibaly (heel) will play Tuesday against the Bulls.

    Coulibaly will shake off a questionable tag to return from a one-game absence. He'll likely play a modest role as the Wizards continue to monitor him closely.

  • Yves Missi C | NO

    Pelicans' Yves Missi: Questionable for Tuesday

    Missi has a right hand sprain and is questionable for Tuesday's game against the Jazz.

    Missi was a late addition to the injury report which is usually not a great sign in fantasy hoops. He was coming off a strong performance with 18 points (8-9 FG, 2-4 FT), 13 rebounds, three assists and four blocks over 40 minutes during Sunday's 112-108 loss to Orlando. DeAndre Jordan and Derik Queen may see more minutes if Missi is held out.

  • Pelicans' Dejounte Murray: Ruled out for Tuesday

    Murray (hand) is out for Tuesday's game against the Jazz.

    Murray will be sidelined for a third straight contest, though he remains day-to-day, considering he was previously listed as questionable. It remains to be seen if the Pelicans attempt to clear him for the final two games of the regular season with nothing to play for.

  • Norman Powell SG | MIA

    Heat's Norman Powell: Good to go Tuesday

    Powell (illness) is good to go for Tuesday's game against the Raptors.

    After going through practice Monday, Powell has the green light to return from a four-game absence. Tyler Herro (personal) is also good to go for Miami. Powell may have his minutes monitored in his first game back.

  • Tyler Herro PG | MIA

    Heat's Tyler Herro: Available to play

    Herro (personal) is available to play Tuesday against Toronto.

    No surprise here as Herro shakes off a probable tag. With Herro set to return from a one-game absence, and Norman Powell (illness) healthy again, the Heat will be close to full strength Tuesday.

  • Nikola Jovic PF | MIA

    Heat's Nikola Jovic: Out for road trip

    Jovic (ankle) will miss the next three games for Miami, Ira Winderman of the South Florida Sun Sentinel reports Tuesday.

    Jovic is not traveling with the Heat on their current road trip. A return against the Hawks on Sunday for the final regular-season game could be on the table depending on how he progresses.

  • Adem Bona PF | PHI

    76ers' Adem Bona: Left out of rotation Monday

    Bona (coach's decision) went unused off the bench Monday in the 76ers' 115-102 loss to the Spurs.

    For the first time since Jan. 9, Bona was left out of the Philadelphia rotation, with head coach Nick Nurse turning to Andre Drummond to handle the backup minutes at center behind starter Joel Embiid. The 76ers won't necessarily prioritize Drummond over Bona moving forward, but neither player will be in line for extensive playing time whenever Embiid is available. Philadelphia will head into its final back-to-back set of the season Thursday and Friday versus the Rockets and Pacers, respectively, so with Embiid likely to rest for one of those games, Bona should resurface in the rotation in short order.
