Patrick Beverley (ankle) and Jaden McDaniels (ankle) both questionable on Tuesday; Malik Beasley (ankle) now probable.
Patrick Beverley (ankle) and Jaden McDaniels (ankle) both questionable on Tuesday; Malik Beasley (ankle) now probable. Is Beverley can’t go, we likely see Beasley slide into the starting lineup again and there would be more opportunities for D’Angelo Russell and Anthony Edwards to lead the offense. McDaniels’ return would impact Jarred Vanderbilt and Taurean Prince, so monitor his situation.

As reported by: NBA Injury Report Cole Anthony (toe), Gary Harris (personal) and Admiral Schofield (knee) all out on Tuesday
Cole Anthony (toe), Gary Harris (personal) and Admiral Schofield (knee) all out on Tuesday. This leaves the Magic thin on some depth and should allow someone like Devin Cannady to get some extra run. Note that the matchup against the Cavs is a brutal one, as they rank 6th in defensive efficiency.

Thunder plan to sign guard Zavier Simpson to a 10-day hardship exception. This gives them 11 potential players tonight and makes them more deep than I’d like, given their prices have risen as they were down to 8 bodies just a few games ago.

Seth Curry (ankle) out on Tuesday; Bruce Brown (illness) listed available. With Curry out, Patty Mills is a candidate to draw a spot start and more of the offensive duties will flow to Kevin Durant and Kyrie Irving in a smash spot against the Rockets.

As reported by: Joe Mussatto Clippers will start Jackson, George, Morris, Batum, Zubac on Sunday
Clippers will start Jackson, George, Morris, Batum, Zubac on Sunday. The Clippers will return to a more normal looking starting lineup after giving most of their regulars a night off Friday night. The Clippers are priced pretty fairly on DK and with the amount of value available in the earlier games it is easy to fade them tonight.

Warriors will start Poole, Payton II, Wiggins, Green, Looney on Sunday. This was the expected lineup with Klay Thompson, Otto Porter, and Andre Iguodala ruled out on the second night of a back to back. poole, Green, and Wiggins all project well enough to be considered in DFS contests tonight.
As reported by: Anthony Slater Alex Len (back) now ruled out Sunday
Alex Len (back) now ruled out Sunday after previously being reported available. With Len out, the backup big man minutes should be played by Chimezie Metu and Neemias Queta if needed. Metu should have a decent role tonight off the bench and can be considered in DFs contests at 4.6K on DK.
As reported by: James Ham Paul George to have his minutes limit increased "a little bit" on Sunday
Paul George to have his minutes limit increased “a little bit” on Sunday against the New Orleans Pelicans. Since returning Gearge has played 32 minutes and 31 minutes and sat out the second leg of a back to back. This small increase will likely only result in a minute or two more for George as the Clippers look to try to clinch a 7th or 8th seed for the play-in tournament.
As reported by: Andrew Greif Alex Len (back) will play Sunday
Alex Len (back) will play Sunday against the Golden State Warriors. Len will be available and should play some backup big man minutes behind Damian Jones but he is ultimately not expected to play a large role for the Kings tonight. He can be avoided in DFS contests at this time.

Spurs will start Jones, Primo, Vassell, Johnson, Collins on Sunday. As expected after both Murray and Poeltl were late scratches, Tre Jones and Zach Collins will enter the starting lineup for the San Antonio Spurs.
