As reported by: NBA Injury Report Malcolm Brogdon (Achilles) and Isaiah Jackson (Ankle) out on Wednesday.
Malcolm Brogdon (Achilles) and Isaiah Jackson (Ankle) out on Wednesday. The Pacers have been listing Brogdon as questionable but have ultimately ruled him out early today. With Brogdon out, Tyrese Haliburton and Buddy Hield will run the offense, while Jalen Smith is a candidate to spot start again.
As reported by: NBA Injury Report Other tagged players: Isaiah Jackson Bogdan Bogdanovic (ankle) questionable on Wednesday.
Bogdan Bogdanovic (ankle) questionable on Wednesday. Bogdanovic has been playing through his ankle injury but if he can’t go, it’ll give Delon Wright and Lou Williams more usage in the second unit. It might also give more minute security to the starters of Kevin Huerter, Danilo Gallinari and DeAndre Hunter for their offense.
As reported by: Chris Kirschner Anthony Edwards (ankle) listed as questionable on Wednesday.
Anthony Edwards (ankle) listed as questionable on Wednesday. Edwards only played 18 minutes last night and missed the second half where Jaden McDaniels started in his place. CourtIQ shows that when Edwards has been off the court this season, KAT averages 1.46 fantasy points per minute and sees a team-high +4.9% usage bump.
As reported by: Timberwolves PR Tre Jones (knee) out on Wednesday.
Tre Jones (knee) out on Wednesday. Jones was originally doubtful so it’s no surprise to see him ruled out before the All-Star break for some extra rest. There’s no DFS impact here.
As reported by: Paul Garcia Robert Williams (calf) and Marcus Smart (ankle) both doubtful on Wednesday.
Robert Williams (calf) and Marcus Smart (ankle) both doubtful on Wednesday. With Williams doubtful, Al Horford should start at center with Grant Williams a candidate to start again. With Smart out, we saw Derrick White start for him in the second half last game and likely draws the spot start here.
As reported by: Tim Bontemps Other tagged players: Marcus Smart Davion Mitchell (hand) questionable on Wednesday.
Davion Mitchell (hand) questionable on Wednesday. If Mitchell can’t go, Donte DiVincenzo and Josh Jackson could see larger roles in the second unit. This likely won’t have too much impact DFS-wise from a main slate perspective given Mitchell has shifted to the bench with Justin Holiday now starting.
As reported by: NBA Injury Report Fred VanVleet seen in street clothes during shootaround on Wednesday, remains highly questionable.
Fred VanVleet seen in street clothes during shootaround on Wednesday, remains highly questionable. While not officially doubtful, this doesn’t bode well for VanVleet and seems like he’s trending in the wrong direction. The RG projections team is planning to remove him from initial projections. CourtIQ shows that when VanVleet has been off the court this season, Gary Trent has seen a team-high +6% usage bump.
As reported by: Doug Smith Luke Kennard (ankle) will play Tuesday
Luke Kennard (ankle) will play Tuesday against the Phoenix Suns after missing last game due to an ankle injury. Kennard should be set to return to his usual role off the bench for the Clippers seeing minutes in the high teens to low 20s. Kennard has the ability to shoot the lights out on any given night but doesn’t project as a good value play tonight. He can be avoided in most DFS formats at this time.

Pacers will start Haliburton, Hield, Brissett, Jalen Smith and Bitadze on Tuesday.
Pacers will start Haliburton, Hield, Brissett, Jalen Smith and Bitadze on Tuesday. Jalen Smith will get the start for the Pacers and not Lance Stephenson as we projected. This makes Stephenson a less desirable GPP option and Smith a better one.
As reported by: Pacers Other tagged players: Lance Stephenson Hornets starting Ball, Rozier, Bridges, Washington and Plumlee on Tuesday.
Hornets starting Ball, Rozier, Bridges, Washington and Plumlee on Tuesday. Kelly Oubre is moving back to the bench while PJ Washington will draw the start. This should give Oubre all the second unit usage he wants and makes him a stronger GPP option.

Timberwolves will start Beverley, Russell, Edwards, Vanderbilt and Towns on Tuesday. This is as expected.
