Milwaukee Bucks guard Damian Lillard (ankle) is listed as questionable ahead of Tuesday's game against the Phoenix Suns. The superstar guard was also tagged as questionable before Sunday's game. He ended up suiting up for that game and played 38 minutes in the loss. If he sits, Cameron Payne figures to be the obvious choice to move into the starting five. Payne would be worth a look as a streaming option if given an extended role.


Oklahoma City Thunder forward Jalen Williams (ankle) is listed as questionable ahead of Tuesday's game against the Utah Jazz. Williams appears to be on track to return after missing each of the last three games. It's uncertain if Williams would be under a minute limit if he's able to suit up. Kenrich Williams would see a reduced role in the rotation if Williams can play. Fantasy managers will have to check back on Tuesday for another update.


Golden State Warriors forward Andrew Wiggins (ankle) won't suit up for Monday night's meeting with the Nets. The 28-year-old injured his left ankle during Saturday's overtime loss to the Atlanta Hawks, so he finished with two points and two blocks in 19 minutes. Fortunately, head coach Steve Kerr doesn't believe Wiggins will be out long, meaning there's a chance he could return versus Philadelphia on Wednesday. However, until Wiggins is back on the floor, Brandin Podziemski could benefit from a production standpoint.


Los Angeles Clippers center Ivica Zubac (calf) was downgraded to out ahead of Monday's matchup with the Atlanta Hawks. The 26-year-old missed nine games before returning for Sunday's meeting with the Miami Heat. He logged only 18 minutes, amassing four points and three rebounds. Zubac will likely play on Wednesday against the visiting Pelicans, barring a setback. But in the meantime, Mason Plumlee should take his spot in the lineup, with the veteran averaging 7.9 points and 7.4 rebounds in eight starts during the 2023-24 campaign.


Houston Rockets guard Fred VanVleet (groin) won't play on Tuesday versus the Indiana Pacers. The former Raptor has averaged 16.5 points, 8.2 assists, 1.1 steals, and 1.0 blocks. But he's now battling a strained left groin, which isn't a good scenario for Houston, a team that hasn't been consistent all year. VanVleet may miss more games moving ahead, including upcoming stops in Toronto and Atlanta. However, until he returns, Aaron Holiday, Amen Thompson, and Jalen Green should see more scoring chances. All three should also get a bump in usage without VanVleet in the equation.
