According to ESPN's Shams Charania, Dallas Mavericks guard Luka Doncic (wrist) sustained a right wrist strain and will be re-evaluated in a week. Doncic started feeling pain in his wrist in the first quarter of Tuesday's matchup with the Pelicans. He stayed in the game playing 30 minutes, but the injury might be more severe than expected. While the 25-year-old is out, Quentin Grimes, Jaden Hardy,and Spencer Dinwiddie will likely see more minutes on the court than usual.

Dallas Mavericks point guard Luka Doncic (knee) will play against New Orleans on Tuesday. He returns to the lineup after missing one game. Doncic produced a rare dud in his last outing and should be amped up to get back to his best against the Pelicans. Quentin Grimes will land back on the bench with Doncic's return. Grimes has had a couple of good outings recently, but he's been a starter on these occasions. The 24-year-old doesn't have fantasy value as a reserve.

Brooklyn Nets forwardDorian Finney-Smith(ankle) is suiting up for Tuesday's game versus the Hornets. The 31-year-old has a left ankle sprain but will play through it. After missing two games, Finney-Smith returned to the starting lineup on Friday and has played well in his last two outings, scoring at least 15 points in both games against the New York Knicks. As a vital part of the Nets' rotation, he averages nearly 30 minutes per game, contributing 10.9 points and 4.8 rebounds during this year's campaign.

Los Angeles Lakers forward Rui Hachimura (ankle) has been listed as questionable for Tuesday's meeting with Utah. He didn't practice on Monday, meaning it's unlikely Hachimura will be able to play, but Lakers head coach JJ Redick hasn't fully ruled him out just yet. Hachimura has been sidelined for two games already, giving Dalton Knecht and Max Christie larger roles. The two have looked good at times, but their inexperience at this level makes them fairly inconsistent performers.
