NBA Player News

Bogdanovic suffered foot and wrist injuries late last season, ultimately undergoing offseason surgery on both. Now with the Nets after being included in the Mikal Bridges trade, the veteran forward’s wrist is in good condition, but the foot has taken longer to heal. Bogdanovic did say on Monday that he’s been cleared for some on-court work, but not 5-on-5. He was unlikely to be a must-draft player if fully cleared, so Monday’s update does not significantly impact Bogdanovic’s value. He may have value as a streamer during the season, especially for managers needing points.

After coming off the bench for Indiana’s last two games, Huff is back in the starting lineup. He brings little more height to the table in Tuesday’s matchup, with Cleveland starting Evan Mobley and Jarrett Allen. Micah Potter heads to the bench but should remain in the rotation.

Wade makes his return after a two-game absence and will be in the starting lineup for Tuesday’s game, pushing Jaylon Tyson to the bench. Tyson will still play plenty, so fantasy managers who have him rostered should not panic. The other change is Merrill, who steps into the void left by Donovan Mitchell (rest).

A late addition to the Timberwolves’ injury report, Edwards is good to go for Tuesday’s game. He’ll occupy his usual place in the starting lineup, with Mike Conley and Bones Hyland missing out on boosts to their playing time.

After a two-game absence, Wembanyama has been given the all-clear to play. However, he will be under a minutes restriction and come off the bench. Luke Kornet remains the starting center, but his playing time will decrease somewhat with Wembanyama back in the fold.

Tuesday’s game is the ninth that Vincent will miss as he continues to work his way back from a lumbar back strain. With Austin Rivers also out, the Lakers have turned to Nick Smith Jr. to play rotation minutes off the bench.

Tuesday’s game will be Jones’ first since December 22. If he’s placed back in the starting lineup immediately, Karlo Matković would head to the bench after playing 24 minutes in Sunday’s loss to the Heat.

After a two-game absence, Wade has been cleared to play on Tuesday. While his return will likely mean fewer minutes for Nae’Qwan Tomlin and Thomas Bryant, especially with Jarrett Allen (illness) available, this does not affect fantasy basketball.

Initially questionable for Tuesday’s game, Tyson is officially available. He’ll remain in the starting lineup, and there should be more opportunities for the second-year wing on the offensive end of the floor since Donovan Mitchell (rest) is out.

Upgraded from questionable to probable earlier Tuesday, Allen is officially available for Cleveland’s matchup with the Pacers. His return means that Sam Merrill will be bumped to the bench, with his already-low fantasy ceiling taking a hit.

Bouyea was inactive for Monday’s loss to the Rockets, which made sense with Grayson Allen returning from a knee injury. Bouyea’s continued absence does not affect fantasy basketball.
