  • Naz Reid C | MIN

    Timberwolves' Naz Reid: Will play Tuesday

    Reid (shoulder) is available for Tuesday's game against the Suns, per Chris Hine of the Minnesota Star Tribune.

    Reid is battling a right shoulder contusion, but the issue won't stop him from playing the first half of Minnesota's back-to-back set. The big man has averaged 12.3 points, 5.0 rebounds and 1.2 assists in 25.4 minutes per game over his last six contests, and Reid should see a bump in usage due to the absence of Anthony Edwards (knee).

  • Lakers' Deandre Ayton: Grabs 11 rebounds in victory

    Ayton amassed seven points (3-6 FG, 1-2 FT), 11 rebounds, one block and one steal over 27 minutes during Monday's 100-92 victory over the Rockets.

    Although his scoring was successfully contained, Ayton had a clear advantage on the glass due to Alperen Sengun (back) being out of commission. The result snapped a short double-double streak that Ayton was building, which was aided by a five-game average of 10.0 rebounds per game.

  • Trae Young PG | WAS

    Wizards' Trae Young: Won't play Tuesday

    Young (quadriceps) has been ruled out for Tuesday's game against the Pistons.

    Young will be sidelined for the second half of Washington's back-to-back set after leaving Monday's loss to the Warriors early following a collision with Will Richard. Young was able to leave under his own power, but the Wizards are expected to be extremely cautious with their new point guard the rest of the way. His next chance to suit up will come Thursday in a rematch against Detroit.

  • Leaky Black SF | WAS

    Wizards' Leaky Black: Remains out

    Black (ankle) has been ruled out for Tuesday's game against the Pistons.

    Black will miss a third straight game due to an ankle injury. His next chance to suit up will come Thursday in a rematch against Detroit.

  • 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.

  • Alex Sarr C | WAS

    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.

  • Ryan Rollins SG | MIL

    Bucks' Ryan Rollins: Iffy for Tuesday

    Rollins (illness) is questionable for Tuesday's game against the Cavaliers.

    Rollins was a late addition to the injury report, presumably after waking up under the weather. If he's unable to give it a go, the Bucks may need Cam Thomas to enter the rotation again.

  • Anthony Black PG | ORL

    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.

  • Pelle Larsson SF | MIA

    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.

  • Nikola Jovic PF | MIA

    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.
