New York Knicks guard Jalen Brunson (neck) has been downgraded from questionable to out on Tuesday and will not face the New Orleans Pelicans. The star point guard is dealing with cervical spasms in his neck and they seem to be too severe to allow him to take the court. Head coach Tom Thibodeau was the one to tell the media that Brunson and Isaiah Hartenstein (Achilles) are both out. It's unclear who will be moving up to starting point guard, but Miles McBride and Alec Burks will both get added minutes in the backcourt. Donte DiVincenzo will likely receive a lot of the ball handling duties with the starting five as well. DiVincenzo and Burks would be the better streaming options in this case.

Golden State Warriors guard/forward Moses Moody will take Andrew Wiggins' (personal) position in the starting lineup on Tuesday against Washington. The 21-year-old gets a big opportunity to impress after logging just 10 total minutes across the previous two games. Moody has had four previous starts this season, averaging 14.0 points, 3.8 rebounds, and 2.0 assists in the role. The Warriors will have Chris Paul back in action on Tuesday, while Gary Payton II and Lester Quinones could also get some extra burn with Wiggins out, especially with the game expected to turn into a blowout.

Washington Wizards guard Landry Shamet (neck) will be in the lineup on Tuesday versus the Warriors. The 26-year-old is looking at his third consecutive start after having one of the best outings of the season last time out against Cleveland. Shamet recorded 15 points, five rebounds, two assists, and three steals in 37 minutes against the Cavaliers on Sunday. He should have a decent role to play again on Tuesday, with Deni Avdija (heel) and Bilal Coulibaly (pelvis) missing from the rotation.

Washington Wizards guard/forward Corey Kispert (illness) will be available on Tuesday against Golden State. He has shaken off a questionable tag and will return from a one-game absence. Kispert has a chance to play a larger role on offense Tuesday due to the absence of Deni Avdija (heel). He's been playing his best basketball of the season in February, putting up 20-plus points in five of his last nine appearances.

Orlando Magic forward Paolo Banchero (illness) won't play on Tuesday versus Brooklyn. He will miss a second consecutive contest with an illness despite being at the morning shootaround. Caleb Houstan will be his replacement in the starting lineup on Tuesday. The 21-year-old finds himself among the starters for the ninth time this season, but he hasn't taken advantage of the previous opportunities. Despite averaging a healthy 26.6 minutes as a starter, Houstan has posted only 9.0 points with 2.4 rebounds and 1.4 assists.
