  • Heat's Simone Fontecchio: Back to bench Tuesday

    Fontecchio won't start Tuesday's game against Toronto.

    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.

  • 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.

  • Coby White PG | CHA

    Hornets' Coby White: Ruled out Tuesday

    White (groin) is out for Tuesday's game in Boston.

    White is dealing with some tightness in his left groin, so he'll be held out of Tuesday's game. His absence will likely open up minutes for Tre Mann and Sion James.

  • L.J. Cryer PG | GS

    Warriors' LJ Cryer: Out Tuesday

    Cryer (illness) won't play Tuesday against the Kings.

    This will be Cryer's second straight game on the sidelines due to illness. His next chance to play will come Thursday versus the Lakers, which will be the first game of a back-to-back set.

  • Yves Missi C | NO

    Pelicans' Yves Missi: Ruled out Tuesday

    Missi (hand) has been ruled out for Tuesday's game against the Jazz.

    The second-year big man will miss his first game since Feb. 26 due to a right hand sprain, and his penultimate chance to play again this season will come Friday in Boston. Zion Williamson, Herbert Jones and Saddiq Bey will all dress but are not expected to play, so Derik Queen, Hunter Dickinson and Josh Oduro are likely to see increased playing time in the frontcourt.

  • Raptors' Collin Murray-Boyles: Good to go Tuesday

    Murray-Boyles (quadriceps) has been upgraded to available for Tuesday's game against Miami.

    The rookie first-rounder has been cleared to play after initially being listed as questionable due to a quadriceps injury. Murray-Boyles is worthy of streaming consideration in most fantasy leagues, as he's averaging 16.3 points, 5.8 rebounds and 2.0 assists in 22.8 minutes per game over his last four appearances.

  • Saddiq Bey SF | NO

    Pelicans' Saddiq Bey: Not expected to play Tuesday

    Head coach James Borrego said Bey will dress for Tuesday's game against the Jazz, but he doesn't expect him to play, Erin Summers of the Gulf Coast Sports & Entertainment Network reports.

    Derik Queen figures to see heavy minutes Tuesday evening with both Bey and Zion Williamson not expected to touch the court, so Queen is on the radar as a potential target in daily fantasy leagues. Bey's next chance to play will come Friday in Boston.

  • Raptors' Sandro Mamukelashvili: Available Tuesday

    Mamukelashvili (knee) has been upgraded to available for Tuesday's game against the Heat.

    Mamukelashvili is good to go Tuesday, which effectively puts the Raptors at full strength. The big man is worth streaming in most fantasy leagues, as Mamukelashvili has averaged 14.7 points, 6.3 rebounds, 1.9 assists and 2.3 three-pointers in 22.6 minutes per contest over his last seven games.
