Indiana Pacers forward Jalen Smith (back) is available ahead of Tuesday's game against the Houston Rockets. This is good news after Smith was listed as questionable coming into this game due to back spasms. It doesn't sound like Smith is going to be limited at all due to these back issues. However, his value isn't as reliable anymore with Pascal Siakam in town. Smith is more of a deep league option with his new role off the bench.

Indiana Pacers guard Tyrese Haliburton (hamstring) has been cleared to play ahead of Tuesday's game against the Houston Rockets. As expected, Haliburton will play but is expected to remain under a minutes limit. It's uncertain whether or not Haliburton will start or come off the bench during this game. Regardless, fantasy managers in season-long formats should feel safe plugging him into their lineups. However, DFS players might find Haliburton to be a risky choice until he's back to full strength.

Dallas Mavericks forward Maxi Kleber (toe) will be available ahead of Tuesday's game against the Brooklyn Nets. Kleber has been cleared to play after being listed as probable ahead of this contest. The presence of Kleber will mean more with Dereck Lively III (nose) ruled out for this game. Kleber should have a bigger role which gives him more streaming appeal for Tuesday's game.

Dallas Mavericks guard Kyrie Irving (thumb) has been cleared to play during Tuesday's game against the Brooklyn Nets. The All-Star guard will make his return to the court after missing the last six games due to a right thumb sprain. Fellow guard Luka Doncic (nose) is uncertain to play, which means Irving could be asked to carry a heavy workload on offense. There is no word on Irving being limited, so fantasy managers should feel comfortable moving him back into their starting lineups for Tuesday.

Indiana Pacers guard Bennedict Mathurin (illness) has been ruled out ahead of Tuesday's game against the Houston Rockets. It appears Mathurin is dealing with a stomach illness, so the team will hold him out of this contest. The good news is that this probably won't be a multi-game absence for him. In the meantime, Ben Sheppard figures to see more minutes in the rotation. Also, Buddy Hield and Aaron Nesmith should have larger roles on Tuesday.
