Fred VanVleet (knee) expected to play on Wednesday. If VanVleet is a good, he’ll likely start and shift Scottie Barnes back to his normal role after Barnes played point guard last game without VanVleet and Malachi Flynn.

Jalen Brunson (foot) now probable on Wednesday.
Jalen Brunson (foot) now probable on Wednesday. Bruson’s return should shift Spencer Dinwiddie back to the bench.
As reported by: Mavs PR Jimmy Butler (illness) questionable on Wednesday.
Jimmy Butler (illness) questionable on Wednesday. If Butler can’t go, there would be increased usage to go around. CourtIQ shows Tyler Herro has led the team with a 31%usage rate this season when Butler has sat, averaging 1.13 fantasy points per minute. Bam Adebayo has led the team with a 1.35 fantasy point per minute average.
As reported by: NBA Injury Report Warriors will start Curry, Moody, Thompson, Wiggins, Looney on Tuesday
Warriors will start Curry, Moody, Thompson, Wiggins, Looney on Tuesday. With Otto Porter among others ruled out earlier in the day, Moses Moody will get another start for Golden State. He should see increased minutes (likely in the mid 20s) but is a poor fantasy point per minute player. There are better value options on tonight’s slate.

Lineup Update: Thunder will start Gilgeous-Alexander, Mann, Wiggins, Bazley, Roby on Tuesday
Lineup Update: Thunder will start Gilgeous-Alexander, Mann, Wiggins, Bazley, Roby on Tuesday. The Thunder once again released their starting lineup after the game locked on DFS sites and it is slightly different than projected. Aaron Wiggins will once again start and Aleksej Pokusevski will be the sixth man. This could mean a few more minutes for Wiggins and a few less for Pokusevski but both players should play a good amount.
As reported by: Brandon Rahbar Isaiah Roby (back) will start Tuesday
Isaiah Roby (back) will start Tuesday against the Milwaukee Bucks after being considered a game time decision. Roby has been dealing with back issues that caused him to be a late-scratch last game but he will return to the starting lineup tonight. He shoiuld see his usal run and limit the upside that Darius Bazley could have seen if he were to be flexed to the five and forced to play more minutes. Oliver Sarr should see the bulk of the backup center minutes behind Roby but has a firm ceiling due to only playing 5 minutes this season with Roby also on the floor.
As reported by: Joe Mussatto Bucks will start Holiday, Nwora, Middleton, Giannis, Portis on Tuesday
Bucks will start Holiday, Nwora, Middleton, Giannis, Portis on Tuesday. Jordan Nwora will get the start with Grayson Allen ruled out. Nwora should see a fair amount of minutes in a good matchup against the Oklahoma City Thunder. Nwora can be considered as a value option.
As reported by: Milwaukee Bucks Pelicans will start McCollum, Jones, Snell, Hayes and Valanciunas on Tuesday.
Pelicans will start McCollum, Jones, Snell, Hayes and Valanciunas on Tuesday. Tony Snell will draw the spot start for Brandon Ingram. JoVal and McCollum are the preferred options for the Pelicans.
As reported by: Erin Summers Brandon Ingram (hamstring) out on Tuesday.
Brandon Ingram (hamstring) out on Tuesday. CJ McCollum becomes a better spend up option now as his usage rate has jumped 4% this season with Ingram off the court.

Nets will start Irving, Curry, Brown, Durant and Drummond on Tuesday. This is as expected.
As reported by: Brooklyn Nets Rajon Rondo (toe) active on Tuesday.
Rajon Rondo (toe) active on Tuesday. With Rondo back, he should fill in some second unit minutes and could take time away from Brandon Goodwin. He’s nothing more than a long-shot GPP play if you need a punt.
As reported by: Serena Winters Jalen McDaniels (ankle) available on Tuesday.
Jalen McDaniels (ankle) available on Tuesday. It’s unclear what kind of role he’ll have tonight, but he could push JT Thor out of the rotation. For now he’s not someone I’m looking at for DFS purposes.
As reported by: Hornets PR Suns will start Payne, Shamet, Bridges, Crowder and Ayton on Tuesday.
Suns will start Payne, Shamet, Bridges, Crowder and Ayton on Tuesday. This is as expected and both Payne and Shamet hold a ton of appeal tonight (Shamet moreso on DraftKings at his cheaper price point). Payne should be the highest owned player on the slate and has appeal in all formats.
