Denver Nuggets forward Michael Porter Jr. (knee) is listed as probable for Tuesday's contest against the Jazz. He's landed on the injury report with right knee tendinopathy. Porter Jr. has missed just one game all season, and it looks like he will be good to go for a favorable matchup. The Jazz have the worst defensive rating in the league, and it's going to be a significant pace-up spot for Denver. Vegas has set the total for the game at 226.0 points, which is one of the highest marks on Tuesday's very busy slate.

Denver Nuggets point guard Jamal Murray (knee) is expected to play against Utah on Tuesday. The team has listed him as probable on the injury report. Murray has just returned from a seven-game absence. He posted 16 points, three rebounds, six assists, and a block in 21 minutes against Atlanta on Saturday after knee inflammation kept him sidelined for a couple of weeks. Murray could see limited action again on Tuesday, but he's in a good spot to make damage. Utah gives up the most assists per 48 minutes to point guards and is currently even more vulnerable on the backcourt due to the absence of defensive specialist Kris Dunn (foot).

Washington Wizards forward Kyle Kuzma (ankle) finds himself with a questionable tag ahead of Tuesday's encounter with the Timberwolves. He's played in just one of the past five games, landing on the shelf with a right ankle sprain. Jordan Poole and Deni Avdija have a bigger role on offense without Kuzma. Meanwhile. Corey Kispert has started to see a lot of extra action, reaching the 40-minute plateau three times in the past five games. He's finally found consistency lately, becoming a reliable fantasy option by averaging 19.3 points, 4.0 rebounds, and 2.8 assists with 3.3 three-pointers through the first few games of the month.

Memphis Grizzlies forward/center Jaren Jackson Jr. (quadriceps) has been ruled out for a third consecutive game as the team gears up to meet San Antonio on Tuesday. The reigning Defensive Player of the Year is nursing a right quadriceps injury. Santi Aldama (foot) is also on the shelf, resulting in big minutes to the likes of Trey Jemison, Maozinha Pereira, and GG Jackson II. Brandon Clarke also benefits in the situation, although his minutes are closely monitored following his comeback from an Achilles tear. However, Clarke has been productive when on the court, tallying 10.8 points, 6.2 rebounds, and 1.0 blocks. Memphis' big men face a difficult challenge against Victor Wembanyama on Tuesday.

Memphis Grizzlies guard/forward Desmond Bane (back) will be absent for a sixth consecutive game on Tuesday versus the Spurs. He's dealing with a lumbar disc bulge, leaving the keys to the backcourt to Scotty Pippen Jr. and Jordan Goodwin. Both players have been good fantasy producers lately, and Pippen Jr. is fresh off a career night. The 23-year-old totaled 24 points, five assists, and two steals in 30 minutes against Philadelphia on Sunday. Bane's injury also means more shooting opportunities for GG Jackson II.
