Indiana Pacers guard/forward Bennedict Mathurin (wrist) has been listed as doubtful for Tuesday's clash against the Houston Rockets. He has missed a pair of games due to a left wrist sprain. Pacers head coach Rick Carlisle told reporters over the weekend that Mathurin is considered day-to-day. It seems Mathurin is closing in on his return, but the doubtful tag suggests that Tuesday's action will come too soon for him. Ben Sheppard and Aaron Nesmith have been more involved in the rotation during Mathurin's absence. Nesmith has fully capitalized on this opportunity, scoring a career-high 27 points in Sunday's win against the Chicago Bulls.


According to ESPN's Shams Charania, Dallas Mavericks guardKyrie Irving(knee) suffered a season-ending torn ACL during Monday's loss to the Sacramento Kings. The veteran was having an excellent season, averaging 25.0 points, 4.9 rebounds, 1.3 steals, and 40.1% shooting from behind the arc. Dallas has been withoutAnthony Davis(adductor),Dereck Lively II(ankle),Daniel Gafford(knee), andP.J. Washington(ankle), soKlay Thompson,Naji Marshall,Max Christie, andDante Exumcould see an uptick in minutes on the floor and a bump in production with Irving out.

NBA reporter Marc Steinreports the Toronto Raptors announced guard/forwardGradey Dick(knee) will be re-evaluated in two weeks and unavailable due to suffering a hyperextended right knee, resulting in bone bruises. Dick suited up on Sunday against the Magic but left the game after playing 16 minutes. With the 21-year-old out of action, Ja'Kobe Walter, A.J. Lawson and Jamal Shead will likely take on extra minutes moving forward.


ESPN's Shams Charania said Tuesday on the Pat McAfee Show that Dallas Mavericks center Anthony Davis (thigh) could miss the remainder of the season due to a thigh injury he suffered during his first game in a Mavs uniform on Feb. 8. Charania also reported more devastating news for the club on Tuesday, stating that Kyrie Irving (knee) has been ruled out for the rest of this year's campaign after he suffered a torn ACL on Monday against Sacramento. Davis was having a fantastic season before his injury, posting averages of 25.7 points, 12.0 rebounds, 3.4 assists, 1.3 steals, and 2.2 blocks in 34.2 minutes per contest.


Los Angeles Lakers guardAustin Reaves(calf) is unavailable for Tuesday's game against New Orleans. He suffered a calf injury during Friday's win over the Clippers, ending his evening after just nine minutes of work. An MRI showed no significant damage. However, the injury will keep him off the floor for a second straight contest. Dalton Knecht will likely see an uptick in minutes with Reaves out. Knecht could make an impact in fantasy on Tuesday as he finished with 19 points, four rebounds, and two steals, playing 25 minutes off the bench against the Clippers on Sunday.
