Los Angeles Clippers head coach Ty Lue says forward Paul George (knee) will not practice Tuesday and will not play Wednesday against the Los Angeles Lakers. George is nursing soreness in his left knee that cost him Sunday's loss to the Sacramento Kings, and his next shot to return comes on Friday against the Washington Wizards. L.A.'s offense will run through Kawhi Leonard and James Harden, with Norman Powell being a fantasy streamer.


Minnesota Timberwolves center Karl-Anthony Towns (personal) has been ruled out for Tuesday's game against the San Antonio Spurs. Towns is a late scratch for personal reasons and won't play for the first time since late December. With the All-Star big man absent Tuesday, Naz Reid is a strong DFS bet whether Rudy Gobert (ankle) suits up or not in a cushy spot against a Spurs group that ranks 26th in opponent points per game (120.7).


The Dallas Mavericks have upgraded guard Luka Doncic (nose) from probable to available for Tuesday's game against the Cleveland Cavaliers. Doncic continues to battle through a broken nose, having not sat out since Jan. 31. Expect the NBA's current scoring leader to handle his usual allotment of minutes on the first night of Dallas' back-to-back set in a rigid matchup against a Cavs team that ranks first in the Eastern Conference in defensive efficiency (108.0).


Brooklyn Nets guard/forward Ben Simmons (back) will be rested for Tuesday's clash versus Orlando. He managed to shake off a sore left leg on Monday to play 14 minutes against Memphis, but the team will keep him out of action on Tuesday to manage his back injury. Cam Thomas (ankle) has also been ruled out, meaning a busy night at the office is on the horizon for Dennis Schroder, while Dennis Smith Jr., Lonnie Walker IV, and Cameron Johnson could also pick up some of the available minutes.


Brooklyn Nets guard/forward Cam Thomas (ankle) has been ruled out for Tuesday's clash with Orlando. The young scoring machine sprained his right ankle on Monday versus Memphis and will miss his 10th game of the season. With Ben Simmons (back) resting on the second night of a back-to-back, we should get a heavy dosage of Dennis Schroder on the Brooklyn backcourt. Dennis Smith Jr. and Lonnie Walker IV are also in a position to pick up extra shifts.
