Utah Jazz guard Jordan Clarkson (pelvis) is out for Tuesday's meeting with the Nuggets. The 31-year-old has been sidelined for 12 of Utah's previous 13 games. But it would be a miracle to see him back on the floor before the end of the 2023-24 campaign. As usual, Collin Sexton and Keyonte George will remain viable DFS options, with the duo combining for 40 points in Sunday's loss to Golden State. At the same time, Johnny Juzang, who had 27 points in that one, should continue to attract the attention of DFS managers.


Milwaukee Bucks forward Khris Middleton (quadriceps) is probable for Tuesday's game against the Celtics. His presence on the injury report isn't anything DFS managers aren't used to at this point. However, although the veteran might be on the floor versus Boston, there's a chance he won't suit in Wednesday's encounter with Orlando, especially since he took a shot to the face in Sunday's loss to the Knicks. Nonetheless, the 32-year-old scored at least 21 points in two of his last three appearances. But if Giannis Antetokounmpo (hamstring) is ruled out, Middleton's ceiling could increase significantly.


Boston Celtics forward Jayson Tatum (knee) isn't listed on the league's official injury report ahead of Tuesday's showdown with the Milwaukee Bucks. The 26-year-old wasn't in the lineup on Sunday versus the Portland Trail Blazers because of a knee issue. But with the C's having a lock on the No.1 spot in the Eastern Conference, it was likely a routine night off for Tatum, who has only missed six games this year. At any rate, Tatum has faced the Bucks three times during the 2023-24 campaign. However, he's struggled during those contests, averaging 20.3 points while shooting 42.9% from the field.


Detroit Pistons shooting guard Evan Fournier (knee) is listed as probable for Tuesday's game against the Philadelphia 76ers. Fournier didn't suit up for Saturday's contest against the New Jersey Nets due to a sore right knee. Over his last 10 outings, the 31-year-old French sharpshooter has averaged 4.6 points in 19.0 minutes per game. His return won't boost the Pistons, who have lost 12 of 13 games going into Tuesday.


Boston Celtics center Kristaps Porzingis (hamstring) is questionable for Tuesday's clash with Milwaukee. The Celtics are the top team in the Eastern Conference standings by a mile, so there's a good chance Porzingis won't be on the floor. With Al Horford (toe) questionable, Luke Kornet and Xavier Tillman Sr. could be in line for more minutes underneath the rim. However, Kornet has a much higher fantasy upside, so DFS managers should keep him in mind if Porzingis and Horford don't suit up.
