Mo Bamba (ankle) expected to be available on Wednesday.
Mo Bamba (ankle) expected to be available on Wednesday. Bamba entered the day questionable but appears good to go tonight against the Clippers. With the Clippers likely to counter with Ivica Zubac, Bamba’s size will be needed.

Bogdan Bogdanovic (knee) expects a minutes restriction around 20-24 minutes if he plays on Wednesday.
Bogdan Bogdanovic (knee) expects a minutes restriction around 20-24 minutes if he plays on Wednesday. The 20-24 minute range came from Bogdanovic himself as he stated that’s the range he’s typically been on in the past when on a restriction. Given this news, he wouldn’t be in play for DFS given the expected limits on his playing time.
As reported by: Chris Kirschner Robert Covington (finger) and Dennis Smith Jr. (ankle) available to play Tuesday
Robert Covington (finger) and Dennis Smith Jr. (ankle) will both be available to play Tuesday against the Minnesota Timberwolves. Covington is expected to remain in the starting lineup and should play his usual low 30s minutes. Dennis Smith Jr. should also remain in his usual role as the point guard of the second unit. Neither player projects well enough for consideration in DFS contests on tonight’s slate.

Patrick Beverley (ankle) ruled out Tuesday
Patrick Beverley (ankle) has been ruled out for Tuesday’s game against the Portland Trail Blazers. Malik Beasley and Jaden McDaniels seem like the most likely candidates to enter the starting lineup for the Timberwolves with D’Angelo Russell likely to take over running point. Jaylen Nowell should handle the backup point guard duties.
As reported by: Dane Moore Norman Powell (personal) will have a minutes limit off the bench Tuesday; Nassir Little (knee) will start
Norman Powell (personal) will have a minutes limit and come off the bench Tuesday against the Minnesota Timberwolves, while Nassir Little (knee) will play and draw the start. For DFS purposes this doesn’t change much as both Powell and Little were not considered good plays on tonight’s slate. Little will see a slight minutes and expected production bump while Powell will take a slight hit.

Klay Thompson (knee) will play and start Tuesday against the Dallas Mavericks. Thompson sat out last game with some discomfort in his knee as he continues to get back up to speed. He will start tonight, though he will likely remain on a minutes restriction. Thompson is expected to see minutes in the low 20s but his return will limit the upside and minutes of other Warriors guards like Jordan Poole, Gary Payton II, and Damion Lee. Thompson remains too expensive to consider in DFS contests in his current role.

Scottie Barnes (wrist) out Tuesday. Pascal Siakam and all the Raptors now become even bigger priorities.

JaMychal Green (conditioning) will be active but not expected to play on Tuesday. There’s no DFS impact here.
As reported by: Mike Singer De'Aaron Fox (ankle) out Tuesday; Chimezie Metu (knee) also out; Damian Jones (ankle) will play.
De’Aaron Fox (ankle) out Tuesday; Chimezie Metu (knee) also out; Damian Jones (ankle) will play. This is going to put both Tyrese Haliburton and Terence Davis back into play. With Fox off the court this season, Haliburton has averaged 1.04 fantasy points per minute.
As reported by: James Ham Other tagged players: Chimezie Metu, Damian Jones Anthony Davis (knee) available Tuesday and will be on a minutes restriction.
Anthony Davis (knee) available Tuesday and will be on a minutes restriction. His return does hurt Russell Westbrook and LeBron James, but most importantly it shifts Dwight Howard out of the starting lineup and impacts the usage of Carmelo Anthony per CourtIQ. I would be hesitant to play Davis in a return on a minute restriction, but he should have very little ownership.
