Washington Wizards guard Tre Johnson (hip) has been ruled out indefinitely after re-aggravating a lingering injury from his college days, and the team has yet to set a timetable for his return. Johnson averaged 11.8 points, 2.4 rebounds, 1.4 assists, 0.6 steals, and 0.2 blocks over his last five outings while shooting 50.0 percent from the field. The injury shift pushes more minutes to Bub Carrington, Corey Kispert, and Bilal Coulibaly, giving Carrington some streaming appeal for assists and Kispert value for three-pointers.

Orlando Magic center Goga Bitadze (ankle) is available for Tuesday's matchup with the 76ers after missing one game, putting him back into his usual role behind Wendell Carter Jr. (ankle), who is also returning. Bitadze averaged 6.0 points, 5.6 rebounds, 2.0 assists, 1.0 steal, and 1.0 block across his last five appearances while shooting 77.8 percent from the field, giving him niche value in deeper formats. His return likely bumps Orlando Robinson out of the rotation, and managers seeking field-goal percentage or defensive boosts can deploy Bitadze in specialist builds.

Orlando Magic center Wendell Carter Jr. (ankle) is off the injury report for Tuesday's matchup in Philadelphia after missing the previous game, putting him back on track for starter-level minutes. He has delivered 11.4 points, 6.8 rebounds, 2.8 assists, 0.6 steals, and 0.8 blocks in 31.6 minutes across his last five outings while shooting 51.4 percent from the field. His return, along with Goga Bitadze (ankle) also coming back from a one-game absence, should stabilize Orlando's center rotation and likely push Orlando Robinson to the fringe or out of the mix entirely.

Orlando Magic guard Jalen Suggs (left knee, injury management) missed Sunday's game against the Celtics, but he'll be ready to go after not being listed on Tuesday's injury report when his Magic face the Sixers. Suggs has played 13 games this season, but the team continues to carefully monitor his workload. He has produced 14.4 points, 4.6 assists, 3.8 rebounds, and 1.5 steals in 23.9 minutes per game, and he'll be back in the lineup for a potential showdown with Tyrese Maxey (shoulder, probable) on Tuesday night.

Philadelphia 76ers center Adem Bona (ankle) will miss Tuesday's home game against Orlando. He has missed the last four games for the Sixers, leaving more time for Andre Drummond, Dominick Barlow, and Trendon Watford at center. Joel Embiid (knee) is questionable and could take some of the minutes in the middle as well if he's ready to return. It looks like Bona may have missed this window of opportunity to fill in for Embiid. In his 12 games this year, he's only averaged 2.2 points, 3.4 rebounds, and 1.7 blocks in 15 minutes per game.

Atlanta Hawks guard Luke Kennard (hip) is questionable for Tuesday's game in Washington after missing the prior contest, putting his short-term fantasy outlook in doubt. The former Duke standout has averaged 6.6 points, 1.2 rebounds, 1.2 assists, 2.4 steals, and 1.0 block in 17.8 minutes across his last five games. He's shooting 44.0 percent from the field and 47.4 percent from deep in that stretch, though his role has tightened during Atlanta's recent guard shuffle. If he sits again, Vit Krejci and Keaton Wallace should continue absorbing extra minutes, though both remain fringe options for deeper formats.

Washington Wizards forward/center Marvin Bagley III (hip) is questionable for Tuesday against Atlanta after missing the past two games. Before the injury, he averaged 9.0 points, 4.4 rebounds, 1.4 assists, 1.2 steals, and 1.0 block in 18.5 minutes across his last five outings. His absence has pushed more frontcourt work to second-year big Alexandre Sarr, who posted 16 points and 11 rebounds in his last game, while Tristan Vukcevic added 12 points and eight boards in 20 minutes. Sarr holds steady value, and Vukcevic remains a deeper-league streaming option until Bagley returns.

Washington Wizards guard/forward Kyshawn George (illness) is questionable for Tuesday's matchup with Atlanta after posting 17 points, 12 rebounds, and seven assists with four steals in his last outing. He has averaged 18.0 points, 7.0 rebounds, and 6.4 assists across his past five games, so even a brief absence would redistribute wing minutes. Corey Kispert posted 20 points, five rebounds, and five assists in 37 minutes. Cam Whitmore chipped in 20 points and seven boards across 18 minutes, while Bilal Coulibaly's recent best sits at 13 points and four rebounds. All three could see modest bumps in minutes and touches if George sits.

Orlando Magic forward Paolo Banchero (groin) will remain on the sidelines for a seventh straight game on Tuesday against the Philadelphia 76ers. He continues to nurse a left groin strain, and there isn't a timetable for Banchero's return. During his absence, Tristan da Silva had had additional fantasy value as Banchero's replacement in the first unit. He has posted 13.3 points, 5.2 rebounds, and 2.0 assists per game in a starting role. Additionally, Franz Wagner, Desmond Bane, and Jalen Suggs receive more offensive touches while Banchero is injured.

Los Angeles Lakers center Deandre Ayton (knee) has been ruled out for Tuesday's contest against the Los Angeles Clippers. He sustained a knee contusion in Sunday's win over the Utah Jazz, exiting after only 13 minutes. Prior to Sunday's matchup, Ayton was on a nice run of three consecutive double-doubles. He has averaged 15.5 points and 8.4 rebounds in 29.2 minutes as a Laker this season. When Ayton missed his first game of the season earlier this month against the Miami Heat, Jaxson Hayes started in his place. He had 15 points, five rebounds, and one block. Hayes is likely to get the starting nod again on Tuesday, with Maxi Kleber taking over backup duties. The Clippers allow the eighth-most fantasy points in the league to centers, making this a good matchup for Hayes.

Philadelphia 76ers forward Paul George (ankle) is on track to play on Tuesday night against the Orlando Magic, as the team has listed him as probable for the matchup. The oft-injured star is currently dealing with an ankle issue. However, the chances seem strong that George will be able to make a third consecutive appearance. He has operated under a minutes restriction this season, averaging 22.0 minutes per game. The limited workload has impacted George's productivity, as he has notched only 13.3 points, 4.7 rebounds, and 3.7 assists. Philadelphia might have Joel Embiid (knee) back in the lineup on Tuesday, which could affect George's role on offense.

Philadelphia 76ers guard VJ Edgecombe (calf) will remain out of the lineup on Tuesday against the Orlando Magic, missing a second consecutive game. The exciting rookie is dealing with tightness in his left calf, with his exit from the lineup leaving a starting spot open. In Sunday's matchup against the Miami Heat, it was filled by Quentin Grimes, who notched 15 points, three assists, and one block. As a result of Edgecombe's injury, Jared McCain also had a more important role in the rotation, logging a season-high 26 minutes off the bench. He tallied 15 points, two assists, and one steal in the game. Both Grimes and McCain will continue to have additional fantasy value until Edgecombe returns.

Philadelphia 76ers point guard Tyrese Maxey (shoulder) is considered probable for Tuesday's matchup against the Orlando Magic. The star guard hurt his right shoulder in a loss to the Miami Heat on Saturday, but it appears the injury isn't serious enough to keep Maxey off the floor. Maxey just enjoyed a career night with 54 points against the Milwaukee Bucks and is having a fantastic year. He ranks second in scoring in the league with 33.0 points per game and has tallied 4.6 rebounds, 7.8 assists, and 1.6 steals. In this season's first meeting with the Magic, Maxey went for 43 points.

Philadelphia 76ers center Joel Embiid (knee) is listed as questionable for Tuesday's contest against the Orlando Magic. It looks like he could be ready to hop back into the lineup after missing seven games with a knee issue. Embiid's return would be bad news for Andre Drummond, who has been filling in for him in the starting lineup. Drummond has been a double-double machine in the role, averaging 12.0 points and 14.0 rebounds. As a reserve, Drummond has averaged 16.6 minutes per game and hasn't been productive enough most nights to satisfy fantasy managers.

Timberwolves' G Anthony Edwards scored 43 points on 16-of-29 shooting in a 112-117 loss to Sacramento on Monday, Nov. 24.

Nuggets' C Nikola Jokic recorded a triple-double, finishing with 17 points, 16 assists and 10 rebounds in a 125-115 win over Memphis on Monday, Nov. 24.

Nets' F Noah Clowney scored 31 points on 9-of-17 shooting in a 100-113 loss to the Knicks on Monday, Nov. 24. Clowney is owned in only 15.8% leagues.

Chicago Bulls forward Patrick Williams (wrist) is available Monday against the Pelicans after missing the previous game, giving Chicago another option amid several frontcourt absences. Williams has averaged 7.0 points, 2.6 rebounds and 1.0 steal over his last five outings while shooting 46.0 percent from the field. He could see a slight bump in minutes with Nikola Vucevic (knee) and Zach Collins (wrist) sidelined. His fantasy appeal remains deeper-league only, but managers needing defensive extras or low-end threes can treat him as a short-term streamer.

Memphis Grizzlies forward/center Jaren Jackson Jr. (ankle) has been cleared to play Monday against the Nuggets after missing the previous two games. Jackson averaged 18.0 points with 5.4 rebounds and 1.0 block over his last five outings and should immediately reclaim his usual workload and shot volume. His return bumps Santi Aldama back to the bench, though Aldama remains a hold thanks to steady production, including 20 points and eight rebounds in his last appearance. Managers should expect Aldama's minutes to fluctuate while Jackson resumes his role as Memphis' primary frontcourt scorer.

Chris Fedor of The Cleveland Plain Dealerreports that Cleveland Cavaliers forwardDean Wade(knee) will miss his first game since November 7 due to a hyperextended right knee.De'Andre Hunter (rest) will also have the evening off to rest. The Cavs frontcourt could turn to 24-year-old big man Nae'Qwan Tomlin to take on extra minutes. He finished with eight points, two rebounds, one assist, one steal and two blocks in his last outing Sunday against the Clippers.
