Indiana Pacers center Myles Turner (back) is listed as questionable for Tuesday's encounter with Boston. He's been experiencing mid-back spasms and couldn't play Sunday versus Memphis. However, Turner was in Monday's practice, which is a sign that his absence could be limited to only one game. Boston is struggling with injuries on the frontcourt, so this could be a very good matchup for Turner. If he can't play, Jalen Smith (back), Isaiah Jackson, and Pascal Siakam should share the center minutes, although Smith is also carrying a questionable tag ahead of the contest.


Indiana Pacers guard Bennedict Mathurin (toe) is listed as questionable ahead of Tuesday's game against the Boston Celtics. Mathurin is coming off a good performance on Sunday but carries a toe injury into this contest. The Pacers are extremely banged up with a handful of players on the injury report. The absence of Mathurin would likely mean more run for Buddy Hield during Tuesday's game. Fantasy managers will have to check back on Tuesday for another update on his status.


Los Angeles Lakers forward Jarred Vanderbilt has been ejected from Monday's game against the Houston Rockets. Vanderbilt made an early exit after picking up two technical fouls in the first half. He got into a shoving match with Dillon Brooks, which led to his early exit from this contest. The absence of Vanderbilt isn't going to have much of an impact on this rotation. The Lakers are relatively healthy, so they will probably just use a committee approach to fill the void.


Portland Trail Blazers guard Malcolm Brogdon (knee) is available ahead of Monday's game against the Philadelphia 76ers. Brogdon was uncertain coming into the second game of this back-to-back set. He has been dealing with a right knee issue lately. Despite that, Brogdon will play and is expected to have his normal role in the rotation. Fantasy managers can go ahead and get Brogdon back in their lineups for Monday's game.


Miami Heat guard Duncan Robinson (illness) won't return to Monday's game against the Phoenix Suns. Robinson was only able to play in four minutes of action before being forced to exit due to an illness. The expectation is that this is a minor issue and that Robinson will be able to play on Wednesday. In the meantime, Jaime Jaquez Jr., Josh Richardson, and Caleb Martin should all see expanded roles in the rotation. Between the trio, Jaquez is the best streaming choice if Robinson is forced to miss more time.
