Atlanta Hawks guard Dejounte Murray (hamstring) is regarded as questionable for Tuesday's matchup against the Lakers. He was a late scratch on Sunday versus Toronto due to right hamstring tightness, and the issue might now keep him off the court for a second consecutive contest. Prior to last weekend, Murray had featured in every game this season. Bogdan Bogdanovic started in his absence and put in a very productive performance. He's one of the best bench players in the league, and a starter's role always makes Bogdanovic even more attractive as an addition to fantasy squads.

Philadelphia 76ers center Mo Bamba (knee) is listed as questionable for Saturday's contest against Denver. The seven-footer could be out for a seventh consecutive game. However, Bamba practiced on Friday, which is an encouraging sign regarding his potential comeback. Philadelphia could use some extra help around the rim against Nikola Jokic. If he's ready to return, Bamba will eat into Paul Reed's minutes. He's averaged a modest 4.3 points and 3.0 rebounds in 24 appearances for the 76ers.

Toronto Raptors guard/forward Bruce Brown moved to Canada just a couple of weeks ago in exchange for Pascal Siakam and others. Ever since that deal was made official, there have been reports and rumors that this wouldn't be his final move this season. Playoff contending teams have been linked to Brown, most notably the New York Knicks. According to Mark Sanchez of the New York Post, Brown was thinking of signing with the Knicks before he accepted the offer from the Indiana Pacers in the offseason. He even said during an interview that his playstyle and effort align with how Tom Thibodeau runs his team. There haven't been any official offers yet, but this move seems to be gaining the most steam.

Philadelphia 76ers center Mo Bamba (knee) is questionable for a clash with San Antonio on Monday. He's been out for four games with a knee problem and could be forced to sit again. If that's the case, Paul Reed will continue to work as Joel Embiid's lone backup. Philadelphia bigs have very little fantasy value, with Embiid healthy. Bamba has been limited to 4.3 points and 3.0 rebounds, while Reed has notched 5.6 points and 4.6 rebounds.

Toronto Raptors guard Bruce Brown (knee) as well as Jordan Nwora and Kira Lewis Jr. are all cleared and available to make their team debuts on Thursday against the Chicago Bulls. There was some uncertainty surrounding the game statuses of the Raptors' newcomers following Wednesday's Pascal Siakam trade, especially since Brown was dealing with a knee injury. Though Nwora and Lewis are DNP-CD candidates in their first night north of the border, Brown should occupy a prominent role in Toronto's rotation whether he starts straight from the get-go or not. It still renders Brown a risky DFS play on Thursday, but season-long managers can get him active. The 27-year-old Swiss Army knife is assembling a career year with averages of 12.1 points, 4.7 rebounds, 3.0 assists, 1.0 three-pointers, and 1.1 steals in 29.7 minutes over 33 starts with the Indiana Pacers this season.
