  • Ruled out Tuesday
    Reddish (ankle) won't play in Tuesday's Play-In Tournament game versus the Pelicans, Mike Trudell of Spectrum SportsNet reports.

    Advice: Reddish has been downgraded from questionable to out Tuesday due to a right ankle sprain. In his absence, Taurean Prince and Rui Hachimura should continue to receive increased playing time. Rotowire.com 44 minutes ago
     
  • Cam Reddish (ankle) downgraded to out Tuesday
    Cam Reddish (right ankle sprain) is out for Tuesday’s game against the Pelicans.

    Advice: Reddish’s absence will not significantly impact the Lakers’ rotation, as fellow reserve guard Gabe Vincent can absorb his minutes. Vincent is unlikely to get the minutes needed to be relevant in DFS tournaments. Rotoworld 44 minutes ago
     
  • Good to go for primetime
    Davis (back) has been cleared for Wednesday's Play-In Tournament game against New Orleans, Mike Trudell of Spectrum SportsNet reports.

    Advice: Davis' aggravating his back/hip spasms in Sunday's win over New Orleans is troubling given that he has battled the affliction all season, but he appears to be no worse for the wear. A rematch against New Orleans pits Davis versus Zion Williamson and Jonas Valanciunas, while Davis has averaged 21.5 points, 10.5 rebounds, 4.3 assists and 2.0 blocks across four contests versus the Pelicans this season.

  • LeBron James, Anthony Davis active Tuesday vs. NOR
    LeBron James (left ankle peroneal tendinopathy) and Anthony Davis (back spasms) are available for Tuesday’s game against the Pelicans.

    Advice: To the surprise of no one, James and Davis are officially available for Tuesday’s 7/8 Play-In tournament game. The latter experienced back spasms during Sunday’s win in New Orleans, which relegated the Pelicans to the Play-In and guaranteed the Lakers the 8-seed. Hopefully, for Davis’ sake, he does not experience any flare-ups on Tuesday. He and LeBron will occupy their usual places in the starting lineup. Rotoworld 46 minutes ago
     
  • Set to play Tuesday
    James (ankle) is available for Tuesday's Play-In Tournament game against the Pelicans, Mike Trudell of Spectrum SportsNet reports.

    Advice: James has been upgraded from probable to available Tuesday despite dealing with left ankle peroneal tendinopathy. The superstar forward averaged 31.0 points, 12.5 assists, 8.0 rebounds, 2.5 steals and 1.0 blocks in 37.5 minutes across his two appearances against New Orleans this season.

  • Wesley Matthews (hamstring) off injury report
    Wesley Matthews (right hamstring tightness) is not on the initial injury report for Wednesday’s game against the Bulls.

    Advice: Matthews was not available for five of Atlanta’s last seven games of the regular season, but the impact of his absence was minimal. However, with Jalen Johnson (ankle) sidelined, Matthews may be able to play additional rotation minutes. That still will not be enough to make him relevant in DFS tournaments.

  • Recovered from injury
    Coach Tyronn Lue said Tuesday that Harden (foot) is "good to go", Tomer Azarly of ClutchPoints.com reports.

    Advice: Harden missed the Clippers' regular-season finale with a right foot inflammation but should be available for Sunday's Game 1 against the Mavericks. The star guard will likely reclaim his starting spot from Xavier Moon. Rotowire.com Today, 3:36 pm
     
  • Kawhi Leonard (knee) limited at practice Tuesday
    According to Clippers coach Tyronn Lue, Kawhi Leonard (right knee soreness) participated in a quarter of Tuesday’s practice.

    Advice: Leonard missed the Clippers’ final eight games of the regular season, so there is rightfully some concern regarding his health ahead of the playoffs. However, the Clippers do not open their first-round series against Dallas until Sunday, so there’s time for him to ramp up ahead of Game 1. P.J. Tucker has been the replacement in the starting lineup for most of the eight games Leonard missed. Rotoworld Today, 3:33 pm
     
  • Ayo Dosunmu, Andre Drummond questionable Wednesday
    Ayo Dosunmu (right quad contusion) and Andre Drummond (left ankle sprain) are questionable for Wednesday’s game against the Hawks.

    Advice: Dosunmu and Drummond were not available to end the regular season, with the former missing Chicago’s final four games and the latter the final three. Dosunmu’s absence has impacted the Bulls’ rotation more, as Javonte Green has replaced him in the starting lineup. If Dosunmu is available for Wednesday’s game, Green will likely return to the bench. As for Drummond, his return would mean fewer minutes for Dalen Terry, who played 24 off the bench in Sunday’s loss to the Knicks. Rotoworld Today, 3:30 pm
