Portland Trail Blazers guard Scoot Henderson (groin) is expected to sit out the entire upcoming three-game road trip. The rookie guard hasn't played since before the All-Star break. He has already been ruled out for Tuesday's game which marks his third absence in a row. His next chance to play will be against the Oklahoma City Thunder on March 6th. However, the struggling Blazers really have no incentive to rush their young guard back onto the court. Kris Murray figures to continue starting in his place which should give him a boost in fantasy value.

New Orleans Pelicans guard CJ McCollum (ankle) remains out on Tuesday versus the New York Knicks. The former Trail Blazer tweaked his ankle on Friday night against the Miami Heat and was sidelined for Sunday's loss to the Chicago Bulls. He has practiced, which is good news, and he's day-to-day, meaning there's a chance he could return on Wednesday versus Indiana. Nonetheless, Zion Williamson (foot) and Brandon Ingram should always be in fantasy lineups, although both men could see a significant uptick in production. At the same time, Trey Murphy III and Herb Jones should also benefit without McCollum on the floor.

According to New Orleans Pelicans head coach Willie Green, forward Zion Williamson (foot) will play on Tuesday versus the New York Knicks. The 23-year-old made another appearance on the injury report because of a nagging foot issue. However, he's good to go. Williamson won't have to deal with Isaiah Hartenstein (Achilles), which will certainly brighten his fantasy outlook. CJ McCollum (ankle) is also out, meaning the former Blue Devil could get more scoring opportunities. That said, with the Pels playing another game on Wednesday night, Williamson could sit that one out, so fantasy managers should plan accordingly.

New York Knicks center Isaiah Hartenstein (Achilles) was originally listed as questionable, but he has since been downgraded to out, according to head coach Tom Thibodeau. The 25-year-old played in each of the team's last three games while clocking 26 minutes on the court during their game on Monday. Jalen Brunson (neck) was also ruled out before tipoff, so the team will be without another starter in their game against the New Orleans Pelicans. In his place, Jericho Sims will likely take over the starting center role, while Precious Achiuwa should see some added minutes in small-ball situations. That means Bojan Bogdanovic would come in at the 4 in those situations as well.

According to Brian Lewis of the New York Post, Brooklyn Nets guard Cam Thomas (ankle) underwent an MRI on Tuesday. However, the team is still awaiting the results. The 22-year-old injured his ankle during Monday's decisive win over the Memphis Grizzlies and was ruled out late in the fourth quarter. He won't play on Tuesday against Orlando, although fantasy managers could be without him longer. As a result, Lonnie Walker IV might be involved enough to warrant consideration for managers in deep fantasy setups. There's also a chance Cameron Johnson returns to the starting lineup, with the former logging fewer than 25 minutes in each of his last four games.
