Camara has made multiple three-pointers in four of his last five games, but Monday’s performance took the cake. Banking in his first three-point attempt was a sign of things to come, as the Trail Blazers’ forward started the night 8-of-8 from three. That’s a franchise record for consecutive three-pointers without a miss, passing Terry Porter’s seven. Camara finished the night 9-of-11 from deep, recording the second 30-point game of his career. Portland plays three more games in Week 22, and they’re all against teams headed to the draft lottery.

Ighodaro injured his oblique during the Suns’ season-opening loss to the Trail Blazers and has missed the last two games. While his absence hasn’t changed the starting lineup, as Khaman Maluach has been the preferred center, it has led to Duop Reath getting rotation minutes off the bench.

Joe landed hard on his right hip during Sunday’s win over the 76ers and did not return to action. His absence on Tuesday won’t affect fantasy basketball, as Ausar Thompson (ankle) is available.

Thompson is back after sitting out Sunday’s win over the Knicks. He’ll take on the task of defending Jalen Brunson, while Daniss Jenkins returns to the bench.

Due to a sore right shoulder, Hayes did not play in Monday’s loss to the Grizzlies. If he can play on Wednesday, Hayes could start, as Jaren Jackson Jr. (knee) is out for 6-8 weeks. If Hayes can’t play, the Jazz would have to rely even more on Mo Bamba and Kyle Filipowski.

One game removed from recording 17 points and five assists, Traoré has been rewarded with his first start of the season. He replaces Keon Ellis, who will come off the bench. The change also means that Dëmin will spend more time off the ball, which could help him get going after a slow start to the season.

White was initially listed as probable for Tuesday’s game, so the status upgrade was expected. He’ll fill his usual spot in the Celtics’ starting lineup.

So much for Edwards being listed as questionable on the Timberwolves’ initial injury report for Wednesday’s game against the Warriors. He’ll reportedly need to undergo an arthroscopic procedure on his right knee and could miss up to two months. While the timeline isn’t guaranteed, fantasy managers can stash Edwards on the IL until he’s cleared to return. As alternatives, Ayo Dosunmu and Terrence Shannon Jr. should see more opportunities, and starters Jaden McDaniels and Jonathan Kuminga should too.

Jones hasn’t played this season, and his absence has factored into rookie Trevon Brazile getting consistent rotation minutes. While he isn’t a must-roster player in redraft leagues, Brazile has played well enough to merit remaining in the rotation once the Nuggets are whole.

Johnson has missed Denver’s last two games and will likely miss a third. If he remains out, Bryce Hopkins should get another start.

The good news is that the Nuggets are no longer listing a sprained right wrist as the reason why Diallo won’t play. However, he remains away from the team for personal reasons. With Cameron Johnson (ankle) doubtful, Bryce Hopkins is likely to get a third consecutive start.
