Julius Randle (conditioning) and Mitchell Robinson (conditioning) will play Tuesday; Nerlens Noel (conditioning) ruled out
Noel was the latest Knick to clear the NBA’s health and safety protocols, joining Julius Randle, who was cleared earlier this morning, but he’ll still miss Tuesday’s matchup against the Indiana Pacers due to return to competition reconditioning, while Robinson has been upgraded from questionable and should start at center in tonight’s contest. However, the more impactful return would be Randle, as his presence in the rotation would relegate Obi Toppin back to his usual reserve role and siphon a ton of usage from the remaining members of the first unit, making them less appealing for daily fantasy contests across the industry this evening.

Chimezie Metu (protocols) listed out Tuesday
The Kings were turning the corner from their COVID-19 outbreak, but Metu has now just entered the NBA’s health and safety protocols, joining Richaun Holmes, and won’t be available for Tuesday’s meeting with the Los Angeles Lakers and potentially longer. The combined absences of Metu and Holmes does open an intriguing playing time opportunity for Marvin Bagley, who was already potentially in line for more minutes against a Lakers squad that would prefer to play as small as possible. If that situation ends up coming to fruition, Damian Jones would then become an intriguing fade candidate in tournament formats across the daily fantasy industry this evening.
As reported by: NBA Official Injury Report Nerlens Noel (conditioning) and Julius Randle (conditioning) now questionable Tuesday
Noel is the latest Knick to clear the NBA’s health and safety protocols, joining Randle, who was cleared earlier this morning, but they both remain listed as questionable for Tuesday’s matchup against the Indiana Pacers due to return to competition reconditioning. The more impactful potential return of the two would be Randle, as his presence in the rotation would relegate Obi Toppin back to his usual reserve role and siphon a ton of usage from the remaining members of the first unit, making them less appealing for daily fantasy contests across the industry this evening.
As reported by: Fred Katz via Twitter Other tagged players: Julius Randle Andre Iguodala (knee) listed out Monday
Iguodala was added to the Warriors’ injury report earlier in the day, and he’s unsurprisingly been downgraded to out for Monday’s matchup against the Miami Heat due to right knee soreness. Other than Iguodala, Golden State has a fully healthy roster, so his absence won’t have much impact on the second unit rotation other than potentially allowing fringe players like Gary Payton II or Juan Toscano-Anderson from picking up DNP-CDs in tonight’s contest.
As reported by: NBA Official Injury Report Cam Reddish (ankle) ruled out Monday
The absence of Reddish will be mitigated by the return of several Hawks players from the NBA’s health and safety protocols, so if Danilo Gallinari, Kevin Huerter, Timothe Luwawu-Cabarrot, Delon Wright, and Onyeka Okongwu aren’t subject to extensive minute restrictions in their returns to game action, head coach Nate McMillan should have no issue filling the minute void left behind by Reddish at the wing and forward positions this evening.

As reported by: the Washington Wizards via Twitter Moe Wagner (illness) listed out Monday
Wagner won’t be available to play in Monday’s second leg of a back-to-back set against the Chicago Bulls due to a non-COVID related illness. However, with the returns of Terrence Ross and other Magic rotation players, Wagner was limited to just two minutes off the bench and played behind other frontcourt members like Admiral Schofield in Sunday’s loss. This makes his absence irrelevant and shouldn’t be something that’s considering when building daily fantasy lineups for contests across the industry this evening.
As reported by: NBA Official Injury Report Kristaps Porzingis (protocols) ruled out Monday
Porzingis was rested for Sunday’s win over the Oklahoma City Thunder, and he’ll now miss a second consecutive game as he’s entered the NBA’s heatlh and safety protocols, sidelining him for an undetermined period. In last night’s contest, head coach Jason Kidd was extremely liberal in his minute’s distribution with so many players returning from the league’s protocols as only Dorian Finney-Smith and Luka Doncic eclipsed the 30-minute mark, making this Mavericks team even more difficult to project on the second leg of a back-to-back set.
