Chicago Bulls guard/forwardJosh Giddey(hip) is unavailable for Tuesday's matchup with the Cleveland Cavaliers. Giddey will be out of action for the first leg of a back-to-back set due to right forearm tendinopathy. The 22-year-old is likely being held out for injury management and rest after an impressive outing, finishing with 23 points, 10 rebounds, eight assists, and one steal in a 131-117 win over the Hornets on Sunday. Talen Horton-Tucker is likely in line for a heavier workload while Giddey is out against the Cavs.

Chicago Bulls centerNikola Vucevic(back) is unavailable for Tuesday's game against the Cleveland Cavaliers. The 34-year-old big man will miss the first leg of a back-to-back set due to soreness in his right calf. Vucevic finished with 16 points, 11 rebounds, four assists and two steals across 33 minutes in his last appearance on Sunday versus the Hornets. With Vucevic on the shelf, Zach Collins will likely soak up most of the minutes available at center during tonight's contest.

Sean Grande of NBC Sports Bostonreports that New York Knicks guardJalen Brunson(ankle) will suit up Tuesday against the Boston Celtics. He missed a month of action after spraining his ankle during the March 6 loss to the Lakers. Fortunately, the All-Star was cleared to return for Sunday's win over the Suns, finishing with 15 points and six rebounds. It will likely take him another few games to shake off any residual rust. Despite the upside typically, Brunson may not be the safest option for DFS managers for tonight's contest.

Eric Nehm of The Athletic reports that Milwaukee Bucks guard/forwardPat Connaughton(ankle) is ruled out for Tuesday's matchup against the Minnesota Timberwolves. After making four consecutive appearances, Connaughton was unavailable for Sunday's meeting with the New Orleans Pelicans due to a right ankle sprain. He will now have to sit out another contest because of the ailment. Connaughton has averaged only 4.3 points and 2.5 rebounds in 14.2 minutes per contest in the 2024-25 season, so his absence this evening won't be a big issue for Milwaukee.

Tony East of WTHR Channel 13 Indianapolis reports that Indiana Pacers forward/centerPascal Siakam(elbow) is available for Tuesday's matchup with the Washington Wizards. Siakam missed only his second game of the season on Sunday against the Denver Nuggets when he had to depart the lineup due to an elbow injury.The star forward has only scored 20 points once in his last seven outings. However, having Siakam return after a one-game absence should provide fantasy managers with a valuable asset for Tuesday's game.
