Phoenix Suns guard Jalen Green (hamstring) played just one full game for the Suns before leaving his second contest after re-aggravating his hamstring injury. He'll miss at least the next 4-to-6 weeks, according to the team, putting his return in mid-to-late December. Green was one of the key returns in the Kevin Durant trade to the Rockets, and his absence will leave more work for Devin Booker in the starting lineup and Collin Gilliespie, who has been very solid off the bench so far this season for Phoenix. Grayson Allen and Royce O'Neale should continue to carry more work while Green is out as well, and Allen has been especially productive in the early going, including his career-high 42-point performance on Monday. The Suns have gone 6-5 in their first 11 games and have won five of their last six heading into their next game on Wednesday in Dallas.

Sacramento Kings center Domantas Sabonis (ribs) was listed as questionable for Tuesday's matchup with Nikola Jokic and the Nuggets, but he has been upgraded to available. He played through a questionable tag on Sunday against the Timberwolves as well, finishing with 20 points, 13 rebounds, three assists, and one steal in 30 minutes. He should be set for his normal workload again on Tuesday night, and he has been taking more shots this season, which gives him a very high ceiling as a multi-category producer for the up-tempo Kings in what should be a high-scoring matchup Tuesday night.

Boston Celtics guard/forward Sam Hauser (wrist) will play through a sprained wrist after being upgraded from probable to available for Tuesday night's road game against Philadelphia. Hauser has averaged 7.5 points, 3.1 rebounds, and 1.5 assists in his 23 minutes per game this season. He has chipped in 2.4 three-pointers per game, and still carries some value as a sharp-shooter, but he hasn't been able to step into a larger role this season for Boston, even with Jayson Tatum (Achilles) on the sidelines. The Celtics are on the front end of a back-to-back, so he could get Wednesday off, but at least for now, it looks like the injury is something he'll shake off and be good to play through for now.

Golden State Warriors forward/center Al Horford (injury management) will not play on Tuesday in the first game of his team's road back-to-back in Oklahoma City. The Warriors have been very careful with the veteran's workload this season and will look to get him back for Wednesday's matchup in San Antonio. In his absence on Tuesday, Quinten Post will likely get more action. Post has started six of the team's last nine games and has scored exactly 14 points in three of his last four games. He'll have a tough matchup against the Thunder, but the minutes should be there for the second-year big man, with Trayce Jackson-Davis also lined up for a little more run coming off the bench without Big Al on Tuesday.

Memphis Grizzlies forward/center Brandon Clarke had an arthroscopic procedure on his right knee this past offseason, and he is starting to ramp up his basketball activities, according to the team's medical update. Clarke still has a long way to go, though, and is expected to return to play in six to nine weeks, putting his return around Christmas at the earlier end and mid-January at the outside edge. The Grizzlies are also without Zach Edey (ankle) right now, leaving Jaren Jackson Jr., Santi Aldama, and Jock Landale to fill time at center. Edey should be back well before Clarke, and Clarke will likely back up Edey when he's ready to get back into the mix further down the road.

Toronto Raptors guard/forward Ochai Agbaji (back) will miss his second game of the season on Tuesday night, when his team visits the Nets. Agbaji missed last Friday's game against the Hawks but started and played 15 minutes on Saturday against the 76ers. He only had two rebounds in that game, and his role overall this season has been relatively small coming off the bench. His spot start on Saturday was due to Jakob Poeltl getting the night off. Agbaji's absence from the second unit does open up more potential time for reserves Gradey Dick and Ja'Kobe Walter.

Brooklyn Nets center Day'Ron Sharpe (glute) has been ruled out for Tuesday night's game against the Raptors. Sharpe has averaged just 15.9 minutes off the bench for the Nets this season, chipping in 6.7 points, 5.3 rebounds, 1.7 assists, 0.9 steals, and 0.6 blocks in his 10 games this season. This will be the first game he has missed this season for Brooklyn, and his bench minutes could go to Noah Clowney and Danny Wolf, who will fill in at backup center behind starter Nic Claxton on Tuesday.

Philadelphia 76ers center Joel Embiid (knee) was not on the injury report and looked to be on track to play on Tuesday, but he was then ruled out on Tuesday afternoon. Somewhat alarmingly, it wasn't Embiid's left knee that was the issue for Tuesday, but his right knee. The big man was expected to return after sitting out Sunday's game, which was the second game of a back-to-back. He was coming off a season-high 29 points on Saturday and was starting to look healthy. Now that his other knee is also an issue, his overall health becomes even more of a concern long-term. He is being evaluated by team doctors, and the team will issue an update once they have a clearer picture of his availability going forward. His next chance to return would be Friday in Detroit, but until he's ready, Andre Drummond and Adem Bona will continue to carry more work for the surging Sixers.

Oklahoma City Thunder guard Luguentz Dort (shoulder) is out for Tuesday against the Warriors, marking his fourth straight missed game since getting hurt against the Clippers. Before the injury, Dort was averaging 7.1 points, five rebounds, 1.6 assists, and one steal across nearly 32 minutes per contest, though his shooting had dipped to 31.5 percent from the field and 19 percent from deep. With him sidelined, Cason Wallace continues to start on the wing and offers strong nine-category appeal for his steals, efficiency, and low turnovers. Isaiah Joe remains a pure three-point streamer, while Ajay Mitchell provides short-term value for assists and scoring in deeper formats. Alex Caruso, who is now healthy, is another solid defensive streamer who chips in steals and threes. Until Dort returns, expect Wallace and Joe to benefit most from the increased workload.

Philadelphia 76ers forward Paul George (knee) remains out for Tuesday's matchup against the Boston Celtics and has yet to make his season debut. The veteran forward averaged 16.2 points, 5.3 rebounds, 4.3 assists, and 1.8 steals across 32 minutes per game last season, providing strong two-way production and elite perimeter defense when healthy. His continued absence keeps the scoring and playmaking load on Tyrese Maxey and Joel Embiid, while Kelly Oubre Jr. and VJ Edgecombe remain key wings in the rotation. Quentin Grimes stands out as a reliable streamer for threes, and Trendon Watford has shown steady versatility in deeper leagues. Managers with an IR slot should stash George, given his top-50 upside when active. If you don't have an IR spot available, he is a hold in competitive leagues where impact wings are scarce. Expect Philadelphia to keep leaning on Maxey's creation until George clears contact and conditioning.

Golden State Warriors center Al Horford (toe) is listed as questionable for Tuesday, consistent with the team managing him on back-to-backs. The 39-year-old has settled into a bench role at 21 minutes per night, averaging 5.6 points, 4.4 rebounds, and 1.3 assists with 1.3 threes on 30 percent from deep. If he sits, expect the Warriors to lean more on Quinten Post and Trayce Jackson-Davis for center minutes, with Draymond Green sliding up in smaller lineups. Post has flashed stretch-five utility, and TJD supplies boards and blocks in short bursts, making each a deeper-league streaming option when minutes open. In standard formats, Horford remains a low-end specialist for threes and rebounds who is difficult to rely on when rest days are in play. Fantasy managers should stream the open slot rather than force a fringe hold if a better schedule play exists.

Indiana Pacers guard T.J. McConnell (hamstring) is questionable for Tuesday at Utah and has yet to suit up this season. With Tyrese Haliburton (Achilles), Bennedict Mathurin (toe), and Obi Toppin (foot) sidelined, any McConnell minutes would be a welcome stabilizer behind Andrew Nembhard, who just returned to lead ball-handling duties. If McConnell is cleared, he profiles as a plug-and-play streamer for assists, steals, and field-goal percentage in 12-team leagues on a light slate and a must-add in deeper formats. Last season, he quietly posted 9.1 points, 4.4 assists, 1.1 steals, and 51.9 percent shooting in under 18 minutes per game. Expect his on-ball pressure defense, drive-and-kick playmaking, and pace to lift Indiana's second unit while keeping usage low for mistakes. If he sits, Nembhard remains a volume play, while Monte Morris would be the next man up for short-term dimes.

Toronto Raptors forward Sandro Mamukelashvili (neck) is questionable for Tuesday's matchup against the Brooklyn Nets due to neck stiffness. The versatile big man has appeared in all 10 games this season, averaging nine points, three rebounds, and nearly two assists in under 18 minutes per game. Mamukelashvili has been quietly efficient, shooting 58 percent from the field and adding an occasional three-pointer, but his fantasy value remains tied to playing time. With Jakob Poeltl healthy and both Collin Murray-Boyles and Jonathan Mogbo competing for front-court minutes, Sandro's role has been inconsistent. If he's cleared to play, he could still carve out value in deeper leagues as a low-turnover big who chips in across categories. In standard formats, he's more of a watch-list option, unless Toronto opens up additional minutes in the second unit.

Oklahoma City Thunder guard Aaron Wiggins (groin) is out for Tuesday against the Warriors after missing the past two games, a notable loss given his strong start at 14.8 points on 41.7 percent from deep. With Luguentz Dort (shoulder) and Jalen Williams (wrist) also sidelined, wing minutes condense around Cason Wallace, Isaiah Joe, and Ajay Mitchell. Wallace is the safest standard-league streamer for steals, efficiency, and low turnovers, while Joe offers instant threes if you need a specialist. Mitchell flashed real playmaking juice with double-digit assists in Sacramento and remains a viable short-term addition for dimes and a bit of scoring. In 12-team formats, prioritize Wallace, then Joe. In deeper leagues, Mitchell is firmly in play until Wiggins returns and the rotation normalizes.

New York Knicks center Mitchell Robinson (ankle) is questionable to play in Tuesday's clash against the Memphis Grizzlies. The injury-prone big man has featured in four of the past five contests, but Tuesday's game marks the start of a back-to-back, leaving Robinson with a question mark. He will likely sit out at least one of the upcoming games. A lingering ankle issue has limited Robinson to four appearances this season. He has averaged 5.0 points, 8.5 rebounds, and 1.8 blocks in 16.5 minutes. The Knicks have used Robinson as a starter each time he's played, meaning a spot in the first unit will be left open if he exits the lineup. Ariel Hukporti has occasionally been a starter this season, but he's still had a limited role in the rotation. Josh Hart probably stands to benefit the most from Robinson's absence.

Denver Nuggets forward/center Aaron Gordon (hamstring) is considered probable for Tuesday's meeting with the Sacramento Kings. He looks set to return from a one-game absence. Gordon didn't play in Saturday's win over the Indiana Pacers as he is managing a hamstring injury. Another rest day could be on the horizon for Gordon, with Denver also in action on Wednesday against the Los Angeles Clippers. Peyton Watson might have another chance to start in that game, but he is anticipated to make way for Gordon in the first unit on Tuesday. Gordon is off to a hot start to the season, averaging a career-high 20.1 points on 46.3 percent three-point shooting.

Denver Nuggets point guard Jamal Murray (calf) appears to be on track to rejoin the lineup on Tuesday against the Sacramento Kings after the team listed him as probable on the injury report. Murray missed Saturday's win over the Indiana Pacers with a calf problem. It was the second leg of a back-to-back, so Denver basically rested the Canadian star. Jalen Pickett got the start in his absence on Saturday and will land back on the bench for Tuesday's action. Murray has looked solid early in the season, posting 22.8 points, 5.3 rebounds, 5.5 assists, and 1.3 steals per game. Only two teams have allowed a higher field-goal percentage to point guards than the Kings, making Tuesday's matchup a potential crush spot for Murray.

Sacramento Kings center Domantas Sabonis (ribs) is back on the injury report with a questionable designation ahead of Tuesday's encounter with the Denver Nuggets. On Sunday against the Minnesota Timberwolves, Sabonis returned to action after missing two games due to a ribcage contusion. However, he is still experiencing discomfort from the injury and may miss Tuesday night's game. Sabonis' absence has allowed Drew Eubanks to log a few starts. The 28-year-old is averaging 10.7 points, 3.7 rebounds, and 2.7 blocks per game as a starter. On Tuesday, Eubanks could have added fantasy value again, although it will be a challenging matchup against a Nuggets team that allows the fourth-fewest points in the league to centers. Additionally, Nikola Jokic's crew holds the ninth-highest rebounding rate.

Philadelphia 76ers center Joel Embiid (knee) will return to action on Tuesday against the Boston Celtics. The former MVP continues to manage a knee injury and was rested for Sunday's matchup against the Detroit Pistons. In Saturday's win over the Toronto Raptors, Embiid had his best outing of the season with 29 points. While Embiid is logging only 23.3 minutes per game, his productivity has been at a good level, with averages of 19.7 points, 5.5 rebounds, 3.3 assists, and 1.5 blocks. With him back in the mix, Andre Drummond must drop to the bench for Tuesday's matchup, which will make it difficult for him to have an impact in fantasy basketball.

Golden State Warriors point guard Stephen Curry (illness) has been removed from the injury report ahead of Tuesday's tussle with the Oklahoma City Thunder. Golden State's leader has missed three games due to illness. The Warriors have limited Curry's workload early in the season to only 31.1 minutes per game, but he's still filled the box score regularly. Across eight appearances, Curry has averaged 26.8 points, 3.6 rebounds, 4.3 assists, and 1.5 steals. On Tuesday, Curry faces a very difficult matchup against a team that has allowed the second-fewest points to point guards this season. Will Richard and Buddy Hield are likely to lose playing time with Curry's return, while the offensive usage of Jimmy Butler III and Jonathan Kuminga will decline.
