  • Coby White PG | CHA

    Hornets' Coby White: Will sit Tuesday

    White has been ruled out for Tuesday's game against the Mavericks due to left calf injury management.

    White will sit out of the first half of his team's back-to-back to keep him fresh. Look for Tre Mann, Josh Green and Sion James to pick up additional minutes in White's absence.

  • Scottie Barnes PF | TOR

    Raptors' Scottie Barnes: Absent from injury report

    Barnes (quadriceps) is off the injury report for Tuesday's game against the Knicks, Blake Murphy of Sportsnet.ca reports.

    The Raptors were expected to list Barnes as questionable with a quadriceps contusion, but he practiced Monday and appears to be ready to roll for Tuesday. Through nine February appearances, the All-Star forward averaged 17.0 points, 7.3 rebounds, 5.3 assists, 2.1 blocks and 1.9 steals in 32.5 minutes per game.

  • Dean Wade PF | CLE

    Cavaliers' Dean Wade: Questionable with ankle sprain

    Wade is questionable for Tuesday's game against the Pistons with a sprained right ankle.

    Wade could go through pregame warmups before the Cavaliers update his status. If the forward is out for a third consecutive contest, Keon Ellis and Dennis Schroder would both remain in line for an expanded role, as Donovan Mitchell is remaining a spectator due to a strained right groin Tuesday.

  • Kris Dunn PG | LAC

    Clippers' Kris Dunn: Off injury report

    Dunn (head) is off the injury report for Monday's game against the Warriors, NBA writer Justin Russo reports.

    Dunn departed Sunday's game against the Pelicans due to an apparent head injury and did not return, but he's good to go Monday. The veteran guard has tallied at least one steal and four assists in six of his last seven outings and remains a strong streaming option for swipes and dimes.

  • Cavaliers' Donovan Mitchell: Ruled out for Tuesday

    Mitchell (groin) is out for Tuesday's game against the Pistons.

    Mitchell is sidelined for a fourth straight contest with a strained right groin, but he'll now have five days off in between Tuesday's matchup and Sunday's showdown against the Celtics to recover. Jaylon Tyson and Sam Merrill are both worthy streaming candidates in most fantasy leagues for as long as Mitchell remains on the shelf.

  • John Collins PF | LAC

    Clippers' John Collins: Out Monday with neck injury

    Collins won't play in Monday's game against the Warriors due to neck soreness, NBA writer Justin Russo reports.

    Collins appeared to injure his right arm late in Sunday's 137-117 win over the Pelicans, but his exit was apparently the result of a sore neck, which had kept him out for the Clippers' previous two contests. The severity of the latest recurrence of the neck issue isn't yet known, but Collins will sit out the second leg of the back-to-back set. Darius Garland (toe) is set to make his Clippers debut Monday and could end up absorbing most of Collins' minutes while sliding into the starting lineup.

  • Trae Young PG | WAS

    Wizards' Trae Young: Set to make team debut Thursday

    Young (knee/quadriceps) will make his Wizards debut in Thursday's game against the Jazz, Shams Charania of ESPN reports.

    Though Young will remain out for Monday's tilt against the Rockets and Tuesday's matchup against the Magic, he's on track to make his highly-anticipated team debut later this week. Prior to being traded to the Wizards, Young made his final appearance with the Hawks on Dec. 27 before being shut down due to a right knee MCL sprain and a right quadriceps contusion. Because Young has been out for a lengthy period of time, head coach Brian Keefe confirmed that the 27-year-old would have a restriction of between 17-to-20 minutes in his Wizards debut, per Josh Robbins of The Athletic. Young's return will likely result in Bub Carrington moving to the bench Thursday.

  • Caleb Martin SF | DAL

    Mavericks' Caleb Martin: Probable for Tuesday

    Martin (back) is probable for Tuesday's game against Charlotte.

    Lower-back soreness is unlikely to stop Martin from playing Tuesday. The swingman has started back-to-back games for Dallas, averaging 8.9 points, 4.4 rebounds, 2.6 assists and 1.3 steals in 26.0 minutes per game over 12 games as a starter this season.

  • Klay Thompson SG | DAL

    Mavericks' Klay Thompson: Iffy for Tuesday

    Thompson (hip) is listed questionable for Tuesday's game against the Hornets.

    Thompson is iffy for Tuesday's contest after he exited in the second quarter of Sunday's 100-87 loss to the Thunder due to a right hip adductor contusion. The veteran sharpshooter's potential absence would free up some extra playing time for Caleb Martin (back), who is probable for Tuesday's game.

  • Naji Marshall SG | DAL

    Mavericks' Naji Marshall: Sitting out Tuesday

    Marshall (finger) is out for Tuesday's game against the Hornets.

    Marshall will be sidelined for a second straight contest, with his next chance to play coming Thursday against Orlando. Khris Middleton could remain heavily involved for Dallas in the meantime.
