Brooklyn Nets guard Cam Thomas (ankle) was ruled out for the remainder of Monday's game against Memphis. He amassed 14 points, five assists, and a steal in 29 minutes. However, with the game seemingly out of reach, Thomas injured his right ankle late in the fourth quarter and needed assistance to the locker room. The Nets play again on Tuesday night. But fantasy managers shouldn't expect to see him out there, barring a miracle. That said, interim head coach Kevin Ollie has gone deep into his bench since taking over, although guys like Lonnie Walker IV, Dennis Smith Jr., and Cameron Johnson should benefit the most if Thomas doesn't suit up.

Toronto Raptors center Jakob Poeltl (ankle) was injured in Monday's meeting with the Pacers and didn't return. The 28-year-old lasted only 22 minutes before tweaking his left ankle. However, he was still productive, ending the night with 15 points, 10 boards, and one block. The Raptors' next game is Wednesday, so fantasy managers could be without him. If Poeltl doesn't suit up, which is certainly possible, Kelly Olynyk needs to be featured in all fantasy lineups.

Charlotte Hornets guard LaMelo Ball (ankle) remains out on Tuesday versus Milwaukee. At this point, it appears there's a realistic chance Ball won't return this season, especially with Charlotte unlikely to make the postseason. Fortunately, Tre Mann has filled in admirably, averaging 11.7 points, 5.5 boards, 5.2 assists, and 1.7 steals in the six games since being acquired from OKC. With this in mind, Mann should remain in all fantasy lineups on Tuesday. At the same time, Vasilije Micic has also shown promise and is worth streaming in deep fantasy setups.

New Orleans Pelicans forward Zion Williamson (foot) is questionable for Tuesday's matchup with the New York Knicks. He's back on the injury report because of a left foot contusion, something he's been dealing with for a while. Of course, the 23-year-old should be in all fantasy lineups if he's available, and his fantasy ceiling will increase even more if CJ McCollum (ankle) doesn't suit up. However, with the Pelicans playing back-to-back contests in the next few days, there's a chance Williamson could miss one of them, which would open the door for Naji Marshall and Larry Nance Jr. to get enough action to make them relevant for fantasy purposes.

Washington Wizards forward Corey Kispert (illness) is questionable for Tuesday's game versus Golden State. He didn't play on Sunday against the Cleveland Cavaliers because of a non-COVID-related illness. But if the 24-year-old returns on Tuesday evening, he has a place in most fantasy lineups. There's also a chance Kispert will start if Deni Avdija (heel) misses a third consecutive game, which will only elevate his fantasy ceiling even more.
