Portland Trail Blazers forward Jerami Grant (Achilles) will remain out on Tuesday night against the Golden State Warriors. The team ruled Grant out for the contest after initially listing him as doubtful. Grant hasn't played since mid-December and will miss his 14th consecutive game due to left Achilles tendinitis. Sidy Cissoko is poised to make another start in Grant's absence, while the entire group must also cover for Deni Avdija (back) on Tuesday night. Grant's next chance to return will be on Thursday against the Atlanta Hawks.

Los Angeles Clippers forward Kawhi Leonard (ankle) is listed as questionable for Wednesday's tilt against the Washington Wizards. Leonard has been a regular on the injury report lately due to an ankle injury, but he hasn't missed time since Nov. 22. After shaking off the questionable tag on Monday night, Leonard dropped 35 points on the Charlotte Hornets. If Leonard can't shed the questionable tag on Wednesday, Nicolas Batum, Kobe Sanders, and Jordan Miller could see more action.

Philadelphia 76ers guard/forward Paul George (knee) is probable for Wednesday's matchup against the Cleveland Cavaliers. The veteran star has played in 10 of the last 11 games and is expected to suit up on Wednesday. George has struggled with his shot lately, averaging 15.5 points in January. Over his last two outings, George has connected on just 1-of-13 attempts from beyond the arc. On Wednesday night, George will be in a good spot to end his shooting slump, as teams are hitting a league-high 38.6 percent of their threes against the Cavaliers.

Philadelphia 76ers guard VJ Edgecombe (adductor) is on the injury report with a probable tag ahead of Tuesday's matchup against the Cleveland Cavaliers. The 20-year-old is dealing with a left adductor contusion, but the issue isn't expected to keep him off the floor against Cleveland. When these teams first faced off this season, Edgecombe managed only seven points in 37 minutes. The rookie has been going through growing pains all season, but his overall numbers are solid. Across 34 appearances, Edgecombe has averaged 16.1 points, 5.4 rebounds, 4.4 assists, and 1.6 steals.

Philadelphia 76ers center Joel Embiid (knee) is considered probable for Wednesday's meeting with the Cleveland Cavaliers. Embiid returned from a one-game absence in Monday's matchup against the Toronto Raptors and appears ready for a second consecutive appearance. On Monday, Embiid had seven turnovers in 36 minutes, but he also did plenty of positive things in a 115-102 victory. The former MVP posted 27 points and collected eight rebounds, along with four assists and two steals. Wednesday's matchup will be more difficult for Embiid, as Cleveland has limited centers to 19.9 points per game.

Dallas Mavericks forward/center Anthony Davis (hand) will not require surgery on his injured left hand, the team announced on Tuesday. He is expected to "heal from the injury" in approximately six weeks. Davis was previously expected to undergo surgery, which would have sidelined him for "several months." Still, it's possible Davis has played his final game as a Maverick, with trade rumors surrounding him. With Davis out, Daniel Gafford will continue to start at center, though he has also faced health issues in 2025-26. Moussa Cisse and Dwight Powell round out the remaining center options for Dallas.

According to Ira Winderman of the South Florida Sun Sentinel, Miami Heat guard/forward Norman Powell (back) will play against the Phoenix Suns on Tuesday. Powell was sidelined for Sunday's 124-112 loss to the Thunder due to soreness in his lower back. With Powell active, Pelle Larsson will return to Miami's second unit after stepping up while Powell was absent against OKC. The 24-year-old finished with 16 points, three rebounds, three assists, one steal and one block.

Oklahoma City Thunder guard/forward Luguentz Dort (foot) won't play on Tuesday against the San Antonio Spurs. Dort is dealing with a sore left foot and will miss his 10th game of the season. The 26-year-old Canadian could see action versus the Rockets, barring any setbacks on Thursday. While Dort is sidelined during tonight's tilt, Ajay Mitchell will likely see more minutes and could be an excellent option for fantasy managers.

Los Angeles Lakers center Jaxson Hayes (hamstring) is unavailable for Tuesday's matchup with the Atlanta Hawks due to left hamstring soreness. The Lakers are being careful with Hayes and will have him sit out the second night of this back-to-back set. With Hayes out of action, Deandre Ayton may take on extra minutes. At the same time, Jarred Vanderbilt could have more opportunities to contribute than he usually does during this evening's clash in Los Angeles.

Brad Rowland of the Locked On Podcast Network reports that Atlanta Hawks guard Luke Kennard (neck) won't play against the Los Angeles Lakers on Tuesday. Kennard is dealing with a neck sprain and will miss the second night of a back-to-back. The 29-year-old sharpshooter played 20 minutes on Sunday, finishing with 22 points and six three-pointers. With CJ McCollum now with the Hawks and Trae Young in Washington, Kennard's role is uncertain in the long run once he returns to action.

Los Angeles Lakers forward LeBron James (foot/sciatica) is listed as questionable for Tuesday's matchup with the Atlanta Hawks. James could get the evening off due to managing soreness in his foot and back, as the Lakers are on the last set of back-to-back games. He finished with 22 points, four rebounds, three assists and one steal across 33 minutes during a 124-112 loss to Sacramento on Tuesday. Luka Doncic (thigh/groin) is also in danger of missing the contest as he is dealing with a thigh and groin issue.

Brad Rowland of the Locked On Podcast Network reports that Atlanta Hawks forward Zaccharie Risacher (knee) will miss his third consecutive contest on Tuesday due to a bone contusion in his left knee. 25-year-old Vit Krejci has started in place of Risacher in the last two games. However, Krejci has provided minimal production for fantasy managers. Newly acquired CJ McCollum may give the Hawks another option in Krejci's struggles during Riscacher's continued absence.

According to Dave McMenamin of ESPN.com, Los Angeles Lakers guard Luka Doncic (thigh/groin) said he had treatment for his inner thigh/groin area during the second half in Monday's 124-112 loss to the Sacramento Kings. Doncic is unsure if he will be able to play through the injury against the Hawks this evening. Even with the setback, the star guard still put up 42 points, eight assists, seven rebounds, and four steals. If the 26-year-old is unable to suit up, Jake LaRavia may be in line for extra minutes. Typically, Rui Hachimura would play in place of Doncic, but his minutes will be limited as he returns from a calf injury that kept him sidelined for seven games.

Atlanta Hawks guard Luke Kennard (neck) is questionable for Tuesday's matchup in Los Angeles against the Lakers, who are on the second night of a back-to-back. Kennard played 20 minutes on Sunday and had 22 points while knocking down six triples. He has scored at least eight points in each of his last seven games, averaging 13.1 points and 3.0 three-pointers per contest in 24.3 minutes per game over that stretch. With CJ McCollum in the mix for the Hawks and Trae Young in Washington, Kennard's role is uncertain, but he can be a solid source of points and threes if he gets opportunities.

New Orleans Pelicans forward Saddiq Bey (hip) was originally listed as doubtful, upgraded to questionable, and is now all the way up to probable for Tuesday's clash against the Denver Nuggets. He has missed the last six games since straining his right hip flexor on Dec. 31 against the Bulls. Before the injury, Bey was putting up good numbers for the Pels, averaging 15.1 points, 5.9 rebounds, 2.3 assists, and 0.9 steals in 29.9 minutes per game. His return will likely reduce the role of Bryce McGowens, who has struggled in his absence.

Dallas Mavericks center Anthony Davis (hand) will likely have surgery on his left hand to repair ligament damage, sidelining him for several months. Davis originally suffered the injury in last Thursday's loss to the Utah Jazz. With the trade deadline around the corner, AD could still be traded to a playoff contender, with a potential return in the playoffs. If he stays with the Mavericks, he is not likely to return this season, since the team is not expected to be in the playoff race. Without Davis, Moussa Cisse and Dwight Powell will likely fill in behind Daniel Gafford at center for the rest of the season, while Cooper Flagg will remain more the focus of the offense. Davis is not officially done for the season, but it looks like his time in Dallas is over, according to this latest report from ESPN's Shams Charania, who says multiple teams are still trying to trade for AD to be a part of their playoff run.

Chicago Bulls forward Julian Phillips (wrist) was originally listed as probable but later downgraded to questionable for Tuesday night's matchup with the Rockets. Phillips is dealing with a left wrist strain and is only playing 10.2 minutes in his 28 games this season, averaging 3.0 points, 1.4 rebounds, and 0.5 steals per game. If he's ultimately unable to play, there could be a few more minutes for Patrick Williams and Dalen Terry, although the 22-year-old Phillips hasn't made meaningful contributions for fantasy in his current limited role.

New Orleans Pelicans forward Saddiq Bey (hip) has been upgraded to questionable on the injury report ahead of Tuesday's clash against the Denver Nuggets. He has previously carried a doubtful tag due to a hip injury sustained on Dec. 31. The ailment has kept Bey sidelined for six games, disrupting a good comeback campaign. Bey is among New Orleans' leading scorers, averaging 15.1 points per game. His absence has allowed Bryce McGowens to become a member of the first unit, but his efforts have been mostly disappointing.

New Orleans Pelicans forward Herbert Jones (ankle) will miss a fourth straight game on Tuesday against the Denver Nuggets, but his return to action appears to be near. The 27-year-old is considered day-to-day, Rod Walker of The Times-Picayune reports. Jones has played in only one of the last 11 games and is trying to return from a right ankle sprain. His next chance for a comeback will be on Wednesday night against the Brooklyn Nets. Without Jones, Bryce McGowens and Micah Peavy are in a position to receive more minutes, although neither has delivered noteworthy fantasy performances recently.

Houston Rockets forward Tari Eason (ankle) won't play on Tuesday against the Chicago Bulls, sitting out a second consecutive game. Eason sprained his right ankle in Friday's loss to the Portland Trail Blazers. In his absence, Aaron Holiday received the starting nod on Sunday against the Sacramento Kings. Unfortunately, Holiday didn't capitalize on the opportunity, recording only three points, one rebound, four assists, and one steal. It's unclear whether Holiday will maintain the starting position on Tuesday. Houston will also be without Dorian Finney-Smith (ankle), narrowing the lineup options for head coach Ime Udoka.
