We have six games in the NBA Tuesday, with TNT's doubleheader anchoring the slate. Here's a look at the day's injury report, along with the relevant fantasy and betting implications.
NBA Injury Report: February 7
R.J. Barrett (illness) – questionable
If Barrett doesn't play, Evan Fournier and Obi Tobbin are set to get more playing time. Fournier has more upside in DFS formats as a three-point shooter.
Ben Simmons (knee) – expected to play
Spencer Dinwiddie (physical) – TBD
Dorian Finney-Smith (physical) – TBD
Seth Curry (groin) – TBD
Simmons says he's going to play, and should be a solid DFS addition given the number of assists he could potentially have with all the shooters around him. Cam Thomas looks like a solid option once again after going for 47 points against the Clippers, but he might be limited on the second night of a back-to-back set.
Trae Young (illness) – available
Young will be back on the court and should take some usage away from Dejounte Murray. AJ Griffin will slide back to his bench role.
Jonas Valanciunas (quad) – probable
Brandon Ingram (toe) – probable
Both players should be in for the Pelicans, and both are solid offensive options to back in DFS contests.
Zach LaVine (injury management) – TBD
Alex Caruso (foot) – TBD
Patrick Williams (ankle) – TBD
We'll see who suits up for Chicago in this one.
Ja Morant (wrist) – available
Morant got a break in the last game but he's good to go in this one. Tyus Jones goes back to his bench role with Morant coming in.
Rudy Gobert (groin) – questionable
Kyle Anderson (back) – questionable
Gobert should be in but Naz Reid will be a good fallback option if he's not. Anderson is truly questionable, and Jaden McDaniels would get more minutes if Anderson's back acts up ahead of the game.
Nikola Jokic (hamstring) – probable
Aaron Gordon (ankle) – probable
Kentavious Caldwell-Pope (ankle) – probable
Jamal Murray (injury management) – probable
Everyone should be in for the Nuggets.
Anthony Davis (foot) – probable
LeBron James (ankle) – questionable
Both guys should be in for the Lakers. James is 36 points away from breaking Kareem Abdul-Jabbar's record as the league's all-time leading scorer.
