O. Porter - SF

CHI

Coach Jim Boylen said he's optimistic that Porter (foot) will be ready to practice shortly after the All-Star break, Jamal Collier of the Chicago Tribune reports.

The Bulls will return to work Tuesday before kicking off their second-half schedule Thursday versus the Hornets. While Porter -- who has been out since November due to the fractured left foot -- probably isn't a serious candidate to play Thursday, he appears on track to suit up at some point before the end of February. Before the Bulls pinpoint a target date, Porter will need to complete at least one or two full-court, full-contact practices. Prior to the break, Porter had ditched his walking boot but had only been able to take part in light shooting drills.

M. Muscala - PF

OKC

Mike Muscala has been diagnosed with a concussion.

He won't be cleared to play until he passes a series of tests, but he's not a large enough part of the rotation for the Thunder for this to impact fantasy hoops.

A. Baynes - C

PHX

Aron Baynes (conditioning) will remain on the sidelines for Tuesday's game against the Clippers.

The Suns have been having light practices in Orlando, which has made it tough for Baynes to get his conditioning to be where it needs to be for him to get out there. It's possible we won't see him at all during these Bubble games.

J. Crawford - SG

BKN

Jamal Crawford tweaked his left hamstring just six minutes into his Brooklyn debut, and he will not return to Tuesday's game against the Bucks.

Crawford became just the eighth player in NBA history to appear in a game over 20 different seasons today, and he also became the oldest player (40) to ever suit up for the Nets, but it only took five minutes and 58 seconds for him to get injured. He did look good in the limited amount of time he was out there, but depending on the severity of the hamstring injury, this could take him out of the remaining seeding games. He finished with five points, three assists and a 3-pointer.

C. Joseph - PG

SAC

Cory Joseph will be in the starting lineup on Tuesday, sending Nemanja Bjelica to the second unit.

The Mavs are rolling with a small-ball lineup, so Luke Walton is countering with a small ball grouping of his own, with a starting five featuring De'Aaron Fox, Joseph, Bogdan Bogdanovic, Harrison Barnes and Richaun Holmes. Bjelica should still see quality minutes with the reserves, and Joseph rarely brings much to the stat sheet, so this doesn't really change the equation in fantasy hoops.

T. Burke - PG

DAL

Trey Burke will move into the starting lineup for Tuesday's game against the Kings, with Seth Curry (leg) unavailable.

Burke will be joined by Luka Doncic, Tim Hardaway Jr., Dorian Finney-Smith and Kristaps Porzingis in his second start in a Mavericks uniform today. Burke went off for 31 points in Dallas' first game of Bubble play, but he was held to just four points on 2-of-6 shooting his last time out. He should be somewhere between those two extremes as a starter, so he could be someone to consider in DFS.

G. Bitadze - C

IND

Goga Bitadze (knee) is being listed as questionable for Tuesday's game against the Magic.

Even if he's cleared, Bitadze will likely have some minutes restrictions, so he can't be considered a viable fantasy option while Myles Turner is healthy. Check back for official word on his status closer to tip-off.

L. Williams - SG

LAC

Lou Williams has cleared quarantine and he will play on Tuesday against the Suns.

Sweet Lou will be making his Bubble debut today, which will translate to fewer minutes for Landry Shamet and Reggie Jackson. He'll have some minutes restrictions in his first game back, though, so he's not the best DFS target.

G. Hill - PG

MIL

George Hill will be in the starting lineup for Tuesday's game against the Nets, with Wesley Matthews (calf) unavailable.

Hill may see an uptick in minutes today with Eric Bledsoe (conditioning) on a minutes limit, so he might be someone to think about deploying as a DFS punt play. Joining him in the starting unit will be Bledsoe, Khris Middleton, Giannis Antetokounmpo and Robin Lopez.

E. Bledsoe - PG

MIL

Eric Bledsoe (conditioning) will replace Donte DiVincenzo in the starting lineup for Tuesday's game against the Nets.

Bledsoe will have a strict minutes limit in his first game of Bubble play today, so while it's good to see him back out there, he's not a great fantasy target; nor can DiVincenzo.

R. Lopez - C

MIL

Robin Lopez is being listed in the starting lineup ahead of Brook Lopez for Tuesday's game against the Nets.

It's unclear if Brook is being hit with a rest day, or if Mike Budenholzer just wants to mix things up against a Brooklyn squad that is missing its star players, but the lack of clarity makes BroLo an incredibly risky option. RoLo could be worth a dice roll in DFS, though.
