Wizards' Bilal Coulibaly: Won't play Tuesday
Coulibaly (heel) won't play Tuesday against Detroit.
Coulibaly is going to be held out for the second leg of this back-to-back set. The forward produced 21 points (7-10 FG, 2-2 3Pt, 5-6 FT), eight rebounds, four assists and one steal over 33 minutes in Monday's 125-117 loss to the Warriors. Jamir Watkins and Will Riley could see a bump in minutes as a result Tuesday.

Wizards' Alex Sarr: Sitting out Tuesday
Sarr (hamstring) is out for Tuesday's game against the Pistons.
Sarr will end up sitting out both legs of this back-to-back set. With how the Wizards have handled the minutes and maintenance days of their key players, fantasy managers should prepare for more headaches down the stretch. Tristan Vukcevic, Anthony Gill and Julian Reese could see a bump in involvement Tuesday.

Magic's Anthony Black: Ruled out for Tuesday
Black (abdomen) is out for Tuesday's game against the Thunder.
Black will be sidelined for a sixth straight game, and there's been no indication that he's close to a return, with the Magic announcing last week that his return timeline will depend on how he responds to treatment. For now, he can be considered doubtful for Thursday's game against Charlotte.

Heat's Pelle Larsson: Good to go Tuesday
Larsson (elbow) is good to go Tuesday against the Hornets.
As expected, Larsson was able to shed his probable tag for this contest. He'll be on the streaming radar Tuesday, with Andrew Wiggins (toe) already ruled out and Bam Adebayo (calf) listed as doubtful.

Heat's Nikola Jovic: Good to go Tuesday
Jovic (back) is available for Tuesday's game against Charlotte.
After nearly a month on the shelf, Jovic is set to return to the lineup. Bam Adebayo (calf) is doubtful for Tuesday, so there are some minutes up for grabs in Miami.

Bam Adebayo PF | MIA
Heat's Bam Adebayo: Downgraded to doubtful
Adebayo (calf) is doubtful for Tuesday's game against the Hornets.
Adebayo appears likely to miss his first game since Dec. 27. He was previously labeled as questionable, so he can be treated as day-to-day for now. With this news, Kel'el Ware could step into a major role as Miami's starting center, making him a popular target in daily formats.

Along with Kornet, Johnson also expressed confidence that guard Dylan Harper (calf) would be available Tuesday, which would bring the San Antonio rotation back to full strength. While Kornet was sidelined for Monday's 119-115 win over the Clippers due to a sore right knee, Carter Bryant (21 minutes) saw a slightly heightened role, and Mason Plumlee (six minutes) was added to the rotation as a backup option behind Victor Wembanyama.
