Knicks list Quentin Grimes (knee) and Nerlens Noel (knee) as questionable on Tuesday.
Knicks list Quentin Grimes (knee) and Nerlens Noel (knee) as questionable on Tuesday. With Kemba Walker expected back the news on Grimes isn’t very impactful. If Noel can’t go the Knicks will rely more on Mitchell Robinson, who is coming off a monster game and continues to hold some GPP appeal.

James Harden (hamstring) out on Tuesday.
James Harden (hamstring) out on Tuesday. With Harden out and Kyrie Irving / Kevin Durant also not playing, the offense will be forced to flow through Patty Mills. The other secondary Nets pieces are going to offer value as well, and players like Cam Thomas, James Johnson, Kessler Edwards and DeAndre’ Bembry should all see extended minutes and looks.
As reported by: Nick Friedell Portland Trail Blazers to send C.J. McCollum, Larry Nance Jr. and Tony Snell to the New Orleans Pelicans for Josh Hart, Nickeil Alexander-Walker, Tomas Satoransky and draft compensation, per sources.
Portland Trail Blazers to send C.J. McCollum, Larry Nance Jr. and Tony Snell to the New Orleans Pelicans for Josh Hart, Nickeil Alexander-Walker, Tomas Satoransky and draft compensation, per sources. This will shift things around for tonight’s slate as these players are all unlikely to suit up for their new teams. We likely see Ben McLemore and Justin Winslow with the Blazers starters and Jaxson Hayes with the Pelicans starters. This is going to open up value for us to spend up elsewhere without sacrificing floor.
As reported by: Adrian Wojnarowski Garrett Temple (health protocols) available on Tuesday.
Garrett Temple (health protocols) available on Tuesday. In the wake of the Pelicans trading away Josh Hart, Tomas Satoransky and Nickeil Alexander-Walker today in the C.J. McCollum trade, Temple could find himself in the starting lineup or with a larger role tonight. Stay tuned for updated expected starting lineups and projections.
As reported by: New Orleans Pelicans Quentin Grimes (knee) out on Monday.
Quentin Grimes (knee) out on Monday. This should give a bit more playing time to Alec Burks and Immanuel Quickley with Kemba Walker also out.
As reported by: Knicks PR Quentin Grimes (knee) now questionable on Monday.
Quentin Grimes (knee) now questionable on Monday. If Grimes can’t go, the Knicks will be even more short-handed with Kemba Walker already ruled out due to rest. This would make Immanuel Quickley a slightly better option.
As reported by: NBA Injury Report Coby White (adductor) available on Monday.
Coby White (adductor) available on Monday. This is as expected but not too impactful for DFS purposes as he’s been mostly playing backup duties and with Zach LaVine back, shouldn’t see too much time.
As reported by: NBA Injury Report Thunder will start Giddey, Mann, Dort, Bazley and Favors on Monday.
Thunder will start Giddey, Mann, Dort, Bazley and Favors on Monday. The twist here is Mamadi Diakite is not starting, and instead it will be Favors. Diakite should still see backup center minutes with Mike Muscala out until the All-Star break, but this twist does make Diakite less appealing.
As reported by: Joe Mussatto Jordan Clarkson (knee) available on Monday; Rudy Gay (knee) ruled out.
Jordan Clarkson (knee) available on Monday; Rudy Gay (knee) ruled out. With Gay out and Ingles done for the season, Clarkson should see a larger role in the second unit. It’s a much needed boost for the Jazz, who remain a bit short-handed.
As reported by: Eric Walden Other tagged players: Rudy Gay Cody Martin (ankle) and James Bouknight (wrist) out on Monday.
Cody Martin (ankle) and James Bouknight (wrist) out on Monday. This is as expected and should allow Kelly Oubre to get a lot more run.
As reported by: Charlotte Hornets PR Other tagged players: James Bouknight Warriors clear Klay Thompson to play "up to 30 minutes" on Monday.
Warriors clear Klay Thompson to play “up to 30 minutes” on Monday. This is the first time he’s been cleared for 30 minutes this season. Given the small slate, he makes for an even better GPP option given his minutes limit is expanding.
As reported by: Anthony Slater Otto Porter Jr. (back) and Andre Iguodala (hip) available on Monday; Porter will start.
Otto Porter Jr. (back) and Andre Iguodala (hip) available on Monday; Porter will start. This is as expected and doesn’t change projections. Iguodala has some punt appeal and it’s good news he’s confirmed in.
As reported by: Kerith Burke Other tagged players: Andre Iguodala Heat will start Lowry, Robinson, Butler, Tucker, Adebayo on Monday.
Heat will start Lowry, Robinson, Butler, Tucker, Adebayo on Monday. This is as expected, while Max Strus and Caleb Martin are also available off the bench.
As reported by: Miami Heat Lu Dort (nose) available on Monday.
Lu Dort (nose) available on Monday. Dort’s return makes Kenrich Williams and Ty Jerome less appealing, as Jerome started last game for Dort but should shift back to the second unit. The Thunder are 10.5 point underdogs but Dort’s return should help keep this game more competitive.
As reported by: Joe Mussatto Zach LaVine (back) available Monday; Coby White (groin) a game-time decision.
Zach LaVine (back) available Monday; Coby White (groin) a game-time decision. This makes the Bulls side a little less appealing with LaVine playing and the Bulls’ prices a bit elevated. We’ll need to see on Coby White’s status as his absence could open up a little more time for the second unit options.
