D.J. Augustin and Wenyen Gabriel unavailable for the Lakers on Tuesday.
D.J. Augustin and Wenyen Gabriel unavailable for the Lakers on Tuesday. Neither player is with the team tonight, so the Lakers will play a bit short-handed. There’s not much DFS impact here.

Vernon Carey (hip) out on Tuesday.
Vernon Carey (hip) out on Tuesday. This mostly has no DFS impact with Thomas Bryant being the backup center.
As reported by: NBA Injury Report Marvin Bagley (ankle) out on Tuesday; Frank Jackson (back) and Hamidou Diallo (ankle) available.
Marvin Bagley (ankle) out on Tuesday; Frank Jackson (back) and Hamidou Diallo (ankle) available. With Bagley officially out, this makes Kelly Olynyk more interesting in GPPs. His price has risen but he’s coming off a 40-point fantasy outing and will soak up all the backup big minutes. With Jackson and Diallo back, this likely takes Rodney McGruder out of the rotation.
As reported by: James Edwards Other tagged players: Frank Jackson, Hamidou Diallo Anthony Edwards (knee) and Jarred Vanderbilt (shoulder) questionable Tuesday
Anthony Edwards (knee) and Jarred Vanderbilt (shoulder) have both been listed questionable for Tuesday’s game against the Golden State Warriors. If either Edwards or Vanderbilt were to be ruled out the top candidates to replace them in the starting lineup would be Jaden McDaniels and Malik Beasley. Both would be expected to see increased run and would likely enter DFS consideration. All starters would see a usage rate increase, especially if Edwards were to be ruled out. All bench players would see an increase in minutes with Jaylen Nowell and/or Josh Okogie entering the rotation.

Andre Drummond (knee) and Cam Thomas (hand) both questionable on Tuesday.
Andre Drummond (knee) and Cam Thomas (hand) both questionable on Tuesday. The Nets are already without Kevin Durant and Kyrie Irving, so if Drummond can’t go tonight, it’ll leave the Nets severely under-manned. Nicolas Claxton would be a candidate to draw a spot start if Drummond can’t go, while LaMarcus Aldridge and Day’Ron Sharpe would all see additional minutes. If Cam Thomas can’t suit up, Kessler Edwards and David Duke would see larger roles in the second unit.
As reported by: Alex Schiffer Other tagged players: Cam Thomas Fred VanVleet (knee), OG Anunoby (finger) and DJ Wilson (knee) all questionable on Tuesday.
Fred VanVleet (knee), OG Anunoby (finger) and DJ Wilson (knee) all questionable on Tuesday. This isn’t great news for DFS purposes as it makes the Raptors situation even more muddled with Anunoby potentially back in the mix. Scottie Barnes is coming off a career game and should one or both of VanVleet and Anunoby return, it would take the shine off him. Malachi Flynn is also coming off a monster spot start and he’d be DFS irrelevant if VanVleet suits up. Wilson’s status isn’t very impactful for this slate given the depth the Raptors have with Boucher, Achiuwa and Thad Young. Stay tuned for more news.
As reported by: Aaron Rose Other tagged players: OG Anunoby, DJ Wilson Vernon Carey Jr. (hip) questionable on Tuesday.
Vernon Carey Jr. (hip) questionable on Tuesday. This isn’t too impactful as the Wizards should continue to use Daniel Gafford and Thomas Bryant at center, but it’s just noteworthy should he get ruled out given the Wizards remain without Kristaps Porzingis so their big man depth is already thin.
As reported by: NBA Injury Report Marvin Bagley (ankle) now doubtful on Tuesday; Hamidou Diallo (ankle) questionable and Frank Jackson (spine) probable.
Marvin Bagley (ankle) now doubtful on Tuesday; Hamidou Diallo (ankle) questionable and Frank Jackson (spine) probable. With Bagley looking unlikely to play, this makes Kelly Olynyk a potentially better play. He’s coming off a 40.1 DKFP performance in just 24 minutes and should operate as the main backup big now. Jackson’s return hurts Rodney McGruder, while Diallo’s potential return would impact the second unit.

Brandon Clarke (eye) available on Monday. Clarke playing does take a little shine off the second unit options, but it shouldn’t be too impactful.

Fred VanVleet out on Monday; Raptors will start Flynn, Trent, Barnes, Siakam and Birch. This is an unexpected wrinkle as Flynn will start for Fred VanVleet. It’s unclear if he’ll get true starter minutes so proceed with some caution.
