Denver Nuggets forward Michael Porter Jr. (knee) is questionable for Tuesday's matchup against Philadelphia. The 25-year-old has played in every game this season so far, but he could be forced to come out of the lineup due to left knee inflammation. Porter Jr.'s absence would open the door for Justin Holiday and Christian Braun to play much larger roles, especially if there are more absentees from Denver's regular lineup. The entire starting unit has been listed as questionable for the game.

Denver Nuggets guard/forward Kentavious Caldwell-Pope (back/neck) is listed as questionable for Tuesday's battle with Philadelphia. He continues to deal with a cervicothoracic strain. The questionable tag leaves his status up in the air, but Caldwell-Pope has played in 14 consecutive games, and the injury doesn't appear to have affected him much. The veteran has scored double-digit points in four straight games while also racking up 10 steals.

Philadelphia 76ers center Joel Embiid (knee) is expected to play on Tuesday against Denver after he returned to action on Monday. The reigning MVP crushed the Rockets with a 41-point, 10-rebound performance in 31 minutes. Embiid had missed three games with a left knee issue. However, it looks like he's fully recovered now, with Philadelphia ready to use him in a back-to-back situation. Hopefully, we also get to see Nikola Jokic (hip) on the court. The Nuggets star is carrying a questionable tag ahead of Tuesday's big encounter.

Washington Wizards center Daniel Gafford suffered a head injury against Detroit on Monday. He managed to tally eight points, six rebounds, three assists, a steal, and a pair of blocks in 26 minutes before exiting. Newly acquired Marvin Bagley III could get a big opportunity to show what he can do if Gafford won't recover in time for Thursday's matchup against the Knicks. He wasn't yet available for Monday's game.

Chicago Bulls guard Ayo Dosunmu (shoulder) missed the fourth quarter versus Cleveland on Monday after aggravating a shoulder injury. He finished the contest as Chicago's leading bench scorer, putting up 10 points in 19 minutes on 3-for-7 shooting. Dosunmu noted after the game that he's hopeful he can play Thursday versus the Raptors. Jevon Carter would be the next man up off the bench if Dosunmu can't get himself game-ready within a couple of days. However, he hasn't provided much fantasy value this season.
