C. Reddish - SG

ATL

Cam Reddish (right Achilles tightness) is questionable for Tuesday's game vs. the Clippers.

Reddish was previously 'probable' for this game, so Atlanta may play it safe and rest him in the first half of this back-to-back set. He may be a true game-time decision, but whether or not he plays on Tuesday it doesn't sound like an ailment that will cost him extended time. Atlanta could simply be tagging him with an injury in order to rest him without being fined by the league.

D. Gallinari - PF

ATL

Danilo Gallinari (right ankle sprain) is probable for Tuesday's game vs. the Clippers.

That's an upgrade from his previous 'questionable' designation, so it looks like Gallo will suit up in a tough matchup vs. the surging Clippers, who have won seven straight games. He may not play more than 20 minutes, though, and it remains to be seen if he plays both sides of this back-to-back set with another game looming vs. the Nets on Wednesday.

M. Porter - SF

DEN

After scoring 30 points during Monday's win vs. Dallas, Michael Porter Jr. said he and the Nuggets' second unit have "really developed a chemistry."

MPJ said he "didn't want to mess anything up" by displacing Will Barton as a starter when he returned from a multi-week absence due to health and safety protocols. He's been fantastic despite the bench role, and coach Mike Malone employed standard coach-speak by emphasizing Porter Jr.'s presence late in games. "Everybody gets caught up in who starts,” Malone said. "I don’t really understand it. If you have a chance to close the game, that’s more important than hearing your name before a game in an arena with no fans." No matter where he begins games, MPJ is a star in both reality and fantasy -- and he's only getting better.

M. Kleber - PF

DAL

Maxi Kleber is reportedly "behind" other Mavs players in his recovery from COVID-19, according to Brad Townsend of Dallas Morning News.

Dorian Finney-Smith, Dwight Powell and Josh Richardson were all on the Mavs' bench in street clothes during Monday's game, and it sounds like they're closer to a return than Kleber. When he does return, Kleber will give Dallas an instant infusion of defense and rebounding, but he has a narrow path to fantasy value with Kristaps Porzingis, Powell, and even James Johnson in the mix.

D. House - SF

HOU

Rockets coach Stephen Silas said he'll be "smart" about Danuel House's minutes in his return from an extended absence on Tuesday.

"There was the back injury and then the COVID stuff, so yeah, it's going to take him a little while to get back in the flow," Silas said. "He was good at practice [Monday] though." During his absence from the team due to COVID-19, House worked on conditioning and core-strengthening to address his back injury. He's a low-usage guy but could get enough 3-pointers and steals to make a dent in standard leagues, so we'll keep an eye on his role. The Rockets did not list him on the injury report for Tuesday's game.

J. Wall - PG

HOU

John Wall made it clear that he wants revenge when the Rockets host the Wizards on Tuesday.

"[There are] a lot of people on that side that probably didn't believe I could come back to be the person I am," Wall said. "Who wouldn't want to beat the team that traded them and felt like I was done? ... That's just my motivation there. They thought I was done. Basically, that's how I feel. This is my opportunity to show them that I'm not done." We don't even have to spin a 'revenge game' narrative since Wall is literally saying that's what it is. This isn't a back-to-back set so Wall should play a ton of minutes and he's set up nicely against the Wizards, who offer one of the best fantasy matchups for point guards.

J. Wiseman - C

GSW

After playing 16 minutes off the bench on Monday, James Wiseman said a reserve role is "helpful for [his] development."

The typical starting lineup of Wiseman, Draymond Green, Andrew Wiggins, Kelly Oubre and Stephen Curry has struggled this season with a net rating of -20.3 in 161 minutes played. As a result, veteran Kevon Looney got the nod at center ahead of the rookie. “That [starting] lineup has not been good, and when you are the young guy that’s just kind of what happens,” Draymond said. Head coach Steve Kerr noted after the game that Wiseman's bench role isn't "a permanent decision," adding, "He's still going to play plenty." The Warriors will find ways to accelerate Wiseman's development, such as surrounding him with capable shooters, and fantasy managers' patience should be rewarded as the season progresses.

R. Hood - SF

POR

Rodney Hood's mysterious absence from Monday's game was due to a thigh contusion, Terry Stotts confirmed after the game.

We have no idea why the injury wasn't revealed sooner but it makes sense after Hood had started the previous two games for the Blazers. Gary Trent Jr. started in his place last night and scored 22 points, while Anfernee Simons had a big game off the bench. The Blazers have a bunch of guys (Hood, Trent Jr., Simons, Carmelo Anthony and Derrick Jones Jr.) that can help fill the void left by C.J. McCollum's foot injury, and they're all likely to step on each other's toes going forward, at least in terms of fantasy. Consider Hood day-to-day for now.
