Minnesota Timberwolves center Karl-Anthony Towns (personal) has been ruled out for Tuesday's game against the San Antonio Spurs. Towns is a late scratch for personal reasons and won't play for the first time since late December. With the All-Star big man absent Tuesday, Naz Reid is a strong DFS bet whether Rudy Gobert (ankle) suits up or not in a cushy spot against a Spurs group that ranks 26th in opponent points per game (120.7).

Washington Wizards guard Landry Shamet (neck) is questionable for Tuesday's matchup against Golden State. Shamet might have to exit the lineup after playing in 10 consecutive games. He doesn't have a big role with the Wizards, but with other players dealing with health issues, Shamet landed in the starting unit on Sunday versus Cleveland. He put in a solid all-around performance in 37 minutes of action. Bilal Coulibaly (pelvis) is already listed out, and Deni Avdija (heel) and Corey Kispert (illness) carry a questionable tag, meaning Shamet could get a larger role again on Tuesday if he's available.

According to ESPN's Adrian Wojnarowski, speaking on NBA Countdown, New York Knicks forward OG Anunoby (elbow) is expected to be re-evaluated at the end of next week. The 26-year-old has averaged 15.6 points, 4.6 boards, 1.8 steals, and 1.1 blocks in 14 games with the Knicks. Unfortunately, he had a loose bone fragment in his elbow and underwent surgery on February 8. But Anunoby remains on schedule regarding a potential return, so fantasy managers should remain optimistic that things continue to move in the right direction. At any rate, Josh Hart, averaging nearly a double-double in 16 starts this season, is worth rostering in any fantasy format until Anunoby is healthy enough to return.

New York Knicks center Mitchell Robinson (ankle) is no longer wearing a walking boot, head coach Tom Thibodeau revealed on Tuesday. Robinson underwent surgery on his left ankle in December. Getting out of the walking boot is a positive sign of his progression, but Robinson has yet to start running, meaning it will still take time before he's ready to return to action. The Knicks big man will miss a 35th consecutive game on Thursday versus Philadelphia. Isaiah Hartenstein (Achilles) has stepped up well as Robinson's understudy and is set to return from a three-game absence on Thursday.

According to Brian Lewis of the New York Post, Brooklyn Nets guard Mikal Bridges is "100%" committed to the team. The former Sun recently expressed his disapproval of the offense under Jacque Vaughn, who has since been relieved of his head coaching duties. However, it appears Bridges plans to remain in Brooklyn. "I'm here now and want to stay here," said Bridges during a recent interview. "I'm going to keep grinding and getting to wherever we've got to get to win." The 27-year-old was traded to Brooklyn last season and averaged a career-high 26.1 points in 27 games. But his production has declined significantly, logging nearly five points fewer per contest throughout the 2023-24 campaign. But with Kevin Ollie earning the interim tag, Bridges may get back on track sooner rather than later, so fantasy managers need to remain patient.
