Cleveland Cavaliers forward Dean Wade (knee) is available for Tuesday's matchup with the Indiana Pacers. Wade is set to return after missing two consecutive contests due to a left knee contusion. The 29-year-old is averaging 7.6 points, 4.4 rebounds, and 1.8 assists during 24.0 minutes per appearance. With Wade back in the mix, 25-year-old Nae'Qwan Tomiln's role will likely be reduced during tonight's tilt.

New Orleans Pelicans forward Herbert Jones (ankle) will end a seven-game absence on Tuesday against the Los Angeles Lakers. He makes a timely return, with Saddiq Bey (hip) out for a third consecutive game. Jones has posted 9.8 points, 3.7 rebounds, 2.4 assists, and 1.7 steals per game across 28.0 minutes this season. His scoring has declined from previous years due to lower shooting efficiency. Jones' return will affect Karlo Matkovic's role in the rotation.

Los Angeles Lakers guard Gabe Vincent (back) will remain out on Tuesday against the New Orleans Pelicans. Earlier in the day, the team downgraded Vincent from questionable to doubtful, and he has now been ruled out, marking his ninth consecutive absence. Speaking at his pregame press conference, Lakers head coach JJ Redick told reporters that he expects Vincent to be available for the second leg of a back-to-back on Wednesday versus the San Antonio Spurs. With Vincent out of the rotation, Nick Smith Jr. and Dalton Knecht have seen increased minutes, though neither has emerged as a reliable fantasy option.

Minnesota Timberwolves guard/forward Anthony Edwards (foot) will play on Tuesday night against the Miami Heat. While he was added to the injury report in the afternoon, Edwards has been upgraded from questionable to available ahead of tip-off. The Timberwolves star has put up 30 points in three consecutive appearances, including 33 against the Heat last week on the road. In that contest, Edwards had a busy night at the line with an 11-for-14 effort and shot 10-for-19 from the field.

Cleveland Cavaliers guard Jaylon Tyson (illness) will play on Tuesday versus the Indiana Pacers. Tyson was listed as questionable due to an illness, but he has upgraded to active for tonight's matchup. The 23-year-old posted a total of just nine points in his last two outings. However, with Donovan Mitchell (rest) getting the evening off, Tyson should see plenty of extra minutes and scoring opportunities with the team's second unit, with Dean Wade likely to start.

San Antonio Spurs forward/center Victor Wembanyama (knee) will come off the bench and have a minutes restriction on Tuesday against the Memphis Grizzlies, ESPN's Michael C. Wright reports. Due to a knee injury, Wembanyama has missed two games and was initially listed as questionable for the meeting with Memphis. Last month, when Wembanyama returned from a calf injury, he also had a bench role for a while, averaging 18.0 points, 9.5 rebounds, and 1.8 blocks in 21.7 minutes as a reserve. Luke Kornet and Kelly Olynyk will be less involved in the rotation with Wembanyama back.

Cleveland Cavaliers center Jarrett Allen (illness) is set to suit up against the Indiana Pacers on Tuesday. The Cavaliers' big man sat out Sunday's loss to the Detroit Pistons due to an illness, but he has been cleared to play this evening. The team has already ruled out Donovan Mitchell (rest), but forward Jaylon Tyson (illness) is good to go. Allen should slide into his starting frontcourt spot next to Evan Mobley for tonight's tilt. The 27-year-old is averaging 13.7 points, 7.9 rebounds, two assists, and 1.8 steals in about 25 minutes of playing time per contest this campaign.

According to NBA reporter Marc Stein, Sacramento Kings forward Keegan Murray (ankle) is unavailable for Monday's clash with Dallas and will miss at least three weeks due to a sprained left ankle. Murray sustained the injury during a 115-98 loss to the Bucks on Sunday. The 25-year-old could be out of action until late January or early February. While Murray is on the shelf, the Kings may have to turn to Precious Achiuwa to take on extra minutes. However, Achiuwa has struggled recently, scoring fewer than 5 points in 4 of the last five games.

Miami Heat guard Tyler Herro (toe) is set to suit up for Tuesday's matchup with the Minnesota Timberwolves. Herro has been out of action for about a month due to a toe injury. He was available for Sunday's game against the Pelicans, but he didn't see any playing time. With Herro back in the mix, Andrew Wiggins and Norman Powell could see fewer scoring opportunities than they did in December. While Kel'el Ware, Nikola Jovic, and Pelle Larsson's expanded roles recently could be reduced.

Orlando Magic guard Jalen Suggs (knee) has been ruled out of the team's Tuesday night matchup with the Washington Wizards. Suggs suffered an MCL contusion on Friday night, in just his second game back from a seven-game absence brought on by a hip injury. He was previously listed as doubtful, meaning he could return sooner rather than later. Tristan da Silva has moved into the Suggs' spot in the starting lineup, but guard Anthony Black has seen the biggest boost in production. The 21-year-old has scored at least 19 points in every game Suggs has missed since mid-December.

Cleveland Cavaliers center Jarrett Allen (illness) looks primed to return to the starting lineup on Tuesday against the Indiana Pacers. The Cavaliers' big man sat out of the Sunday night loss to the Detroit Pistons. The team has already ruled out Donovan Mitchell (rest), while forward Jaylon Tyson (illness) is questionable. Allen should slide into his starting frontcourt spot next to Evan Mobley if he's indeed active. The 27-year-old is averaging 13.7 points, 7.9 rebounds, two assists, and 1.8 stocks in about 25 minutes of playing time per game this season.

Minnesota Timberwolves guard Anthony Edwards (foot) was a late addition to the team's injury report ahead of their Tuesday night matchup with the Miami Heat. The All-Star guard is listed with right foot injury maintenance, which is of note considering he missed three games in December with foot soreness. Bones Hyland was the biggest beneficiary of Edwards' absence last month, scoring double digits in two of those three starts. He would likely be in the starting five again if Edwards sits this one out.

San Antonio Spurs center Victor Wembanyama (knee) is a game-time decision Tuesday night when his team visits the Memphis Grizzlies. The French phenom participated in shootaround Tuesday morning and said he feels good. However, the Spurs are on the front end of a back-to-back and notoriously safe with managing injuries. Should he sit, Luke Kornet will pick up another start, with Kelly Olynyk operating as the second-string big. If Wembanyama gives it a go, Kornet is likely to move back to the bench, and Olynyk will be out of the rotation.

The Memphis Grizzlies may face the San Antonio Spurs without their starting backcourt on Tuesday night. Point guard Ja Morant (calf) is doubtful with a calf contusion, while Cedric Coward (ankle) has already been ruled out. If Morant is unable to go, it will be his second consecutive game on the sidelines. This will be the second game Coward has missed this season. Vince Williams Jr. (knee) is probable to make his return after missing the last eight games. He, Pat Spencer, and Kentavious Caldwell-Pope will be responsible for most of the backcourt minutes tonight, should Morant sit.

Miami Heat guard Tyler Herro (toe) is considered questionable for Tuesday's tilt against the Minnesota Timberwolves. He has missed nearly a month of action with a toe injury. For Sunday's clash against the New Orleans Pelicans, Herro was listed as available, but he didn't take the court. Heat head coach Erik Spoelstra labeled the star guard as day-to-day on Sunday. Once Herro returns, Kel'el Ware will probably move to the bench, and Andrew Wiggins and Norman Powell could see fewer offensive opportunities. At the same time, Nikola Jovic and Pelle Larsson may have their roles reduced in the rotation.

Memphis Grizzlies point guard Ja Morant (calf) is carrying a questionable tag on the injury report ahead of the first leg of a back-to-back on Tuesday against the San Antonio Spurs. Morant missed Sunday's loss to the Los Angeles Lakers due to a right calf contusion. Unfortunately, it has been yet another campaign full of health issues for Morant, who has appeared in only 18 of Memphis' 35 games. Another absence on Tuesday will likely keep Cam Spencer in the first unit. Spencer had a horrible shooting night against the Lakers, finishing with only five points. Still, he is averaging nearly a double-double as a starter this season, posting 10.6 points and 9.0 assists.

Orlando Magic guard Jalen Suggs (knee) is listed as doubtful for Tuesday's meeting with the Washington Wizards. Last week, Suggs suffered a MCL contusion in his right knee, landing back on the shelf just two games after returning from a hip injury. The doubtful tag indicates that Suggs is expected to miss a second consecutive game. With Suggs out, Tristan da Silva returned to the starting lineup in Sunday's win over the Indiana Pacers, but his fantasy production has been lacking all season. Anthony Black, who finished with 27 points, 10 assists, and four blocks against Indiana, is the player to target during Suggs' absence.

Cleveland Cavaliers guard Donovan Mitchell (rest) will take the night off on Tuesday against the Indiana Pacers. After seeing him string together a run of three consecutive 30-point games, the Cavaliers have decided to rest Mitchell against the Eastern Conference bottom feeders. Mitchell's absence will put the ball more in Darius Garland's hands, while Sam Merrill, Jaylon Tyson, and De'Andre Hunter may all be more involved in the action as well. Vegas has set the total at 236.5 points for this game, and a high-scoring contest could result in many outstanding fantasy performances.

Cleveland Cavaliers center Jarrett Allen (illness) could be out for a second consecutive game on Tuesday against the Indiana Pacers, as the team has listed him as questionable on the injury report. The big man is working his way through an illness and may return in a good spot, facing a team that allows the 11th-most fantasy points to centers. Sam Merrill filled in for Allen in the starting unit in Sunday's loss to the Detroit Pistons, scoring 15 points on 5-for-7 three-point shooting. On Tuesday, Merrill could make an even bigger impact, with Cleveland potentially missing two regular starters. The team has already ruled out Donovan Mitchell (rest) for the matchup.

San Antonio Spurs forward/center Victor Wembanyama (knee) is questionable for Tuesday's contest against the Memphis Grizzlies. The French phenom has missed a pair of games with a bone bruise in his left knee, but he has a chance to return to the lineup on Tuesday. However, as this marks the beginning of a back-to-back for San Antonio, Wembanyama could still sit out some more action this week. Luke Kornet and Kelly Olynyk have had larger workloads with Wembanyama out of the lineup. Olynyk could fall out of the rotation once Wembanyama is back at 100 percent.
