Golden State Warriors guard De'Anthony Melton (thigh) is out for Tuesday's matchup against the Bulls after the team initially considered using him in the second leg of the back-to-back. With Melton and Moses Moody (wrist) unavailable, Golden State should spread extra wing minutes across Gary Payton II, Will Richard, and reserve guard Pat Spencer. Payton logged 13 points, one three-pointer, one rebound, and one steal in 26 minutes in the loss to Utah, while Richard previously flashed upside with 21 points, two triples, five rebounds, six assists, and three steals in a February start. Spencer added four rebounds, two assists, and one steal in 13 minutes last game. All three are risky deep-league streamers since their minutes could swing from night to night.

Phoenix Suns guard Grayson Allen (knee) is available to play ahead of Tuesday's game against the Milwaukee Bucks. Allen is back in the mix after sitting out Sunday's game due to a knee injury. His absence could've been for rest purposes with Allen playing heavy minutes lately. His return to the rotation should mean a reduced role for Haywood Highsmith. Allen has been a solid source of points since returning from injury in late February. Fantasy managers can get him active in their lineups ahead of tip-off.

Toronto Raptors center Jakob Poeltl (illness) has been ruled out ahead of Tuesday's game against the Houston Rockets. This is tough news for the Raptors, with Collin Murray-Boyles (thumb) also sidelined. Fantasy managers will need to check back on Wednesday to see if Poeltl can return for the second leg of the back-to-back set. Sandro Mamukelashvili should take on a heavier role with Poeltl out for this game. He's worth a look as a streaming option in most fantasy formats while the Raptors are shorthanded. Jonathan Mogbo could see increased minutes as well, but Mamukelashvili is the primary add here.

Brooklyn Nets center Day'Ron Sharpe (thumb) has been ruled out ahead of Tuesday's game against the Detroit Pistons. Sharpe will make his first absence since mid-January while he deals with a thumb sprain. Nicolas Claxton could see an increased role as the starting center without Sharpe available. Also, Danny Wolf and Ochai Agbaji are likely to see more minutes during Tuesday's game. Claxton is the best fantasy option here, but Wolf and Agbaji are decent streaming choices with Sharpe and Ziaire Williams (illness) out.

Brooklyn Nets forward Michael Porter Jr. (rest) is back in the mix ahead of Tuesday's game against the Detroit Pistons. Porter is returning to the rotation after sitting out Monday's game for rest purposes. Over his last 10 games, Porter is averaging 21.5 points, 7.1 rebounds, and 2.7 assists across 31.5 minutes per game. Porter has scored nearly 50 total points with 26 rebounds over his last two games. Fantasy managers should double-check their lineups and make sure he's in there ahead of tip-off. The return of Porter should mean reduced roles for Danny Wolf and possibly Ochai Agbaji.

Milwaukee Bucks forward/center Bobby Portis (back) is ruled out ahead of Tuesday's game against the Phoenix Suns. He wasn't on the initial injury report, but will ultimately sit out due to a back contusion. The Bucks are going to be thin at the center spot with Jericho Sims (knee) also sidelined. The absence of these two should mean Pete Nance will fill in as the primary backup to Myles Turner. Nance finished with six points, three rebounds, and two steals across 22 minutes on Sunday. He'll offer some deep league value with the Bucks being shorthanded on Tuesday.

Boston Celtics guard Payton Pritchard (neck) has been ruled out ahead of Tuesday's game against the San Antonio Spurs. He's dealing with a lingering neck issue, and this will be his first absence since mid-January. The absence of Pritchard should open up playing time for Baylor Scheierman, Huge Gonzalez, and Sam Hauser. Scheierman is coming off a solid double-double performance during Sunday's game. He's worth a look as a streaming choice without Pritchard available. Also, Hauser has been a consistent contributor and is worth a look as well for fantasy managers seeking help ahead of Tuesday's slate.

Philadelphia 76ers guard Tyrese Maxey (finger) is set to miss significant time after suffering an injury during Saturday's game. Maxey has been diagnosed with a tendon injury in his right pinky finger. The superstar guard will be shut down and re-evaluated in three weeks. The plan is for Maxey to be re-evaluated on March 31, so fantasy managers won't have him through much of the fantasy playoffs. VJ Edgecombe should move into the starting point guard role with Maxey sidelined. Edgecombe should be rostered and started in basically all fantasy formats, while Cameron Payne could offer deep league value as his backup.

Miami Heat guard Tyler Herro (quad) has been downgraded to out ahead of Tuesday's game against the Washington Wizards. He was a late addition to the injury report due to a quad issue that will ultimately force him to miss this game. His absence should mean increased playing time for Pelle Larsson, Jaime Jaquez Jr., and Myron Gardner. Among the three players, Jaquez is the best fantasy option, with the two others being viewed as possible deep league options.

Kyle Neubeck of AllPHLY.com reports that Philadelphia 76ers guard VJ Edgecombe (back) is available to play on Tuesday against the Memphis Grizzlies. Edgecombe previously carried a questionable tag, but he has since been cleared to play after missing three straight games due to a lumbar contusion. In his return, the 20-year-old rookie is expected to carry a heavier workload with Tyrese Maxey (finger) out this evening.

Atlanta Hawks forward Jonathan Kuminga (knee) has been ruled out ahead of Tuesday's game against the Dallas Mavericks. Kuminga is set to miss his third game in a row due to a lingering knee injury. The Hawks haven't given a timetable on his return, but his next chance to play will come on Thursday against the Brooklyn Nets. The absence of Kuminga should mean that Corey Kispert and Zacchaire Risacher should continue to see increased playing time. Kispert has been inconsistent this season, so Risacher is the better choice for a streaming option while Kuminga is out.

Golden State Warriors guard/forward Moses Moody (wrist) is unavailable for Tuesday's matchup with the Chicago Bulls. Moody will be out of action for the fourth consecutive contest due to a sprained right wrist. His next chance to suit up is Friday against the Minnesota Timberwolves. While Moody is on the shelf, Gui Santos will continue to see extra opportunities. The 22-year-old forward is coming off a solid performance, finishing with 15 points, eight rebounds, five assists and two steals during Monday's loss to Utah.

According to Dane Moore of The Dane Moore NBA Podcast, Minnesota Timberwolves forward Kyle Anderson (knee) is available for Tuesday's game after missing one contest with a right knee issue. The veteran forward has played a limited role in his second stint with Minnesota, averaging 3.0 points, 2.0 rebounds and 2.0 assists in 14.5 minutes across his first two appearances. Given his modest workload, Anderson is unlikely to provide meaningful fantasy value on Tuesday.

Golden State Warriors guard/forward Will Richard (ankle) is available for Tuesday's matchup with the Chicago Bulls. The 23-year-old missed four consecutive games due to a right ankle sprain. Before the injury, Richard had been fairly productive, averaging 10.6 points, 3.0 rebounds and 2.2 assists in 21.1 minutes per contest across his previous five outings. However, he is not considered a reliable streaming option on Tuesday, as his minutes could be limited while he works his way back from the absence.

Golden State Warriors forward/center Al Horford (toe) will play on Tuesday against the Chicago Bulls. Horford missed the first set of a back-to-back on Monday due to toe injury maintenance. The 39-year-old veteran center is averaging 8.3 points, 5.0 rebounds, 2.6 assists, and 1.1 blocks across 21.8 minutes per contest in 41 games this season. Kristaps Porzingis (illness) is also set to return, so Quinten Post (foot) and Malevy Leons minutes on the floor will be significantly shortened during tonight's contest.

Golden State Warriors forward/center Kristaps Porzingis (illness) is available for Tuesday's matchup with the Chicago Bulls. Porzingis returns to the Warriors' rotation after sitting out Monday's loss to the Utah Jazz for maintenance. The 30-year-old recently returned to action in Saturday's loss to Oklahoma City following a six-game absence, finishing with nine points, five rebounds, five assists and one block in 23 minutes. However, he will likely remain on a minutes restriction as the team continues to ease him back into the lineup.

Milwaukee Bucks forward Bobby Portis (back) was added to the team's injury report as questionable with a back contusion for Tuesday night's home game against the Suns. Portis has scored at least 12 points in six straight games and is coming off a big 18-point, 10-rebound double-double on Sunday. Since Jericho Sims (knee) and Taurean Prince (neck) are also questionable, there could be large workloads available for Kyle Kuzma and Pete Nance. If Prince is able to play, his minutes will likely be minimal since he has not played since Nov. 4.

Miami Heat forward Simone Fontecchio (groin) is ready to return from a three-game absence and will be back in action after being upgraded from probable to available. He could step right into a large role in a smash spot against the Washington Wizards. Kel'el Ware (shoulder), Norman Powell (groin), Andrew Wiggins (toe), and Nikola Jovic (back) are all out, and Tyler Herro (quad) is questionable. Fontecchio could fill in at forward and brings lots of offensive upside. He had 12 points in 20 minutes in his most recent game last Tuesday, and he could be in a similar role in this contest, depending on who else is available or out for Miami.

Miami Heat center Kel'el Ware (shoulder) was ruled out after being listed as questionable for Tuesday's matchup against the Wizards. Ware is dealing with a shoulder strain and will miss his first game since Jan. 25. Without him, Andrew Wiggins (toe) and Nikola Jovic (back) on Tuesday, Bam Adebayo will have to play heavy minutes at center with Vladislav Goldin as the only other true center available. That should open up more time for Simone Fontecchio, Jaime Jaquez, and Myron Gardner at forward. Jaquez logged 29 minutes in the team's last game against Detroit, producing 19 points, six rebounds, and seven assists, while Gardner started but played just 17 minutes with four points and six rebounds.

Washington Wizards guard Trae Young (injury management) has only played two games for the Wizards since being acquired at the trade deadline, and Tuesday won't be his third after he was ruled out for injury management. He has averaged 14.5 points and 7.0 assists in just 18.5 minutes in his two games for the Wizards, and his next chance to return to the lineup will be Thursday against the Magic. Without Trae on Tuesday, Bub Carrington and Tre Johnson are in line for more work in Washington's backcourt, while more usage will be available for Will Riley, Bilal Coulibaly, and Jaden Hardy as well.
