Atlanta Hawks point guard Trae Young (Achilles) is considered probable for Tuesday's matchup against LaMelo Ball and the Charlotte Hornets. The two exciting playmakers are set to go head-to-head despite Young dealing with an Achilles problem. However, this has been the case all year, so fantasy managers should not read too much into it. Young ended a shooting slump on Sunday against the Brooklyn Nets, racking up 28 points and 12 assists with a 9-for-18 effort from the field. He has averaged 29.0 points and 9.0 assists with 41.5 percent shooting in the matchup against Charlotte this season.


Cleveland Cavaliers forward/center Evan Mobley (foot) may sit out a second consecutive game on Tuesday against the Los Angeles Clippers, as he has been listed as questionable on the injury report. The talented big man is trying to overcome a right foot contusion. If Mobley can't return on Tuesday, De'Andre Hunter will likely remain in the first unit. He had a bad time against the Orlando Magic on Sunday, notching only nine points on 2-for-11 shooting, but it has been a good campaign for Hunter. The former Atlanta Hawk is averaging a career-high 17.6 points, despite being a starter in only eight of his 51 appearances.


Milwaukee Bucks point guard Damian Lillard (groin) is listed as probable for Tuesday's clash against the Golden State Warriors. The veteran star is battling a groin issue. However, Lillard has not missed any of the last 12 games, so he will likely be back out on the court Tuesday night. After collecting three consecutive double-doubles, Lillard had a tough outing in Sunday's loss to the Oklahoma City Thunder, finishing with 19 points and two assists. He was fire in this season's first meeting with the Warriors, tallying 38 points in a 125-111 loss on Feb. 10.


Milwaukee Bucks center Jericho Sims (thumb) will be out for the remainder of the regular season. The team announced that Sims underwent surgery to repair a torn ligament in his right thumb and is expected to miss approximately four weeks. The Bucks will wrap up their regular-season schedule on April 13, making it unlikely Sims will return to action before the postseason. In its press release, the team noted that Sims would "likely return for the playoffs." Since moving to Milwaukee in a trade deadline deal with the New York Knicks, Sims has done a decent job as a backup big for the Bucks, averaging 2.4 points and 4.9 rebounds in 15.0 minutes per game. However, fantasy managers likely won't miss him much.


Washington Wizards guard/forwardCorey Kispert(thumb) will be sidelined for the remainder of the season after undergoing successful surgery on his left thumb Tuesday. The 26-year-old is expected to be ready for the start of next season after suffering a ligament tear in his left thumb Saturday against Denver. Kispert made 61 appearances for the Wizards in the 2024-25 campaign, posting averages of 11.6 points, 3.0 rebounds, and 1.7 assists across 26.3 minutes per contest. Bub CarringtonandAJ Johnsonlook set to receive more playing time with Kispert on the shelf.
