Cleveland Cavaliers forward Evan Mobley (rest) won't play on Tuesday against Chicago. Fortunately, he's not injured. But the 2021 No. 3 overall pick will take the night off to rest before likely returning for Wednesday's matchup with the Miami Heat. Without Mobley on the floor, Donovan Mitchell, Darius Garland, and Jarrett Allen should all see more scoring opportunities. The same could apply for De'Andre Hunter, who will likely enter the starting lineup. Ty Jerome, coming off a 25-point effort in Sunday's overtime win over Portland, should also remain more involved off the bench.

Milwaukee Bucks forward/center Giannis Antetokounmpo (calf) is listed as probable to play in Tuesday's matchup against the Atlanta Hawks. Since returning from a calf strain, Antetokounmpo has made six consecutive appearances but remains on the injury report. However, Milwaukee is likely to upgrade his status to available once again before tip-off. Although Antetokounmpo has seen limited minutes since his return, he has still caused plenty of damage for the opposition. Over the past six games, the former MVP has averaged 24.7 points, 11.3 rebounds, 6.0 assists, and 1.2 steals in 28.6 minutes.

New York Knicks forward/center Karl-Anthony Towns (personal) has been deemed questionable for Tuesday's game against the Golden State Warriors. Towns has regularly appeared on the injury report due to a knee issue, but on this occasion, he is uncertain to play for personal reasons. Fortunately for the Knicks, Mitchell Robinson has just made his season debut and will help fill some of Towns' minutes if he doesn't play against the Warriors. Precious Achiuwa, who featured for only four minutes in the last game, would certainly see an increase in playing time as well.

Los Angeles Lakers forward LeBron James (foot) is expected to play on Tuesday against New Orleans. King James will likely appear on the injury report for the remainder of the season because of a nagging foot injury. While he'll presumably sit out some games moving ahead, it probably won't be on Tuesday. James is coming off a rough showing, scoring 17 points off 6-for-17 shooting in Sunday's win over the Clippers. He also had eight turnovers. But the multi-time All-Star should get it together versus the 17-win Pelicans, and he may see a bump in production if Luka Doncic (knee) and Austin Reaves (calf) aren't available.

Chicago Bulls guard Josh Giddey (quadriceps) is listed as questionable for Tuesday's contest against the Cleveland Cavaliers. Giddey may miss his first action of 2025 due to a quadriceps contusion. The Bulls are dealing with other backcourt injuries as well, meaning Tre Jones might end up running the offense in Tuesday's game. Jones' fantasy stock has dropped significantly in 2024-25, but he has previously shown that he can do a good job as a starting point guard. In his previous 125 career starts, Jones has averaged 12.4 points and 6.8 assists.
