Philadelphia 76ers guard Cameron Payne (illness) will suit up for Tuesday's meeting with the Nets. He has been under the weather and didn't play on Sunday against the Dallas Mavericks, leaving the arena before opening tip to get some rest. Under usual circumstances, Payne wouldn't see much attention from the fantasy community. But with Tyrese Maxey (head) sidelined after being diagnosed with a mild concussion, Payne should draw plenty of interest. The 29-year-old has averaged 13.7 points, 4.3 assists, and 1.3 steals in three starts this year, and he'll make a fantastic value option for DFS participants.


Cleveland Cavaliers guard/forward Isaac Okoro (elbow) is expected to suit up on Tuesday against Boston. He landed on the injury report prior to the game as questionable with a left elbow sprain, but sources have told Chris Fedor of The Cleveland Plain Dealer that Okoro will be good to go for the contest. The 23-year-old is looking at his third straight game as Donovan Mitchell's (knee) replacement in the starting unit. Okoro has averaged 11.3 points, 3.5 rebounds, and 2.5 assists in a starting role this season.


Cleveland Cavaliers guard/forward Caris LeVert (elbow) has been upgraded from questionable to available for Tuesday's contest against Boston. The 29-year-old is returning to the lineup following a two-game stint on the sidelines. With Donovan Mitchell (knee) and Max Strus (knee) out, LeVert should get to play a prominent role offensively. He's done well this season against Boston, averaging 18.5 points in 29.0 minutes with 51.9 percent shooting.


Brooklyn Nets center Day'Ron Sharpe (wrist) will sit out Tuesday's game against Philadelphia. The Brooklyn big man hurt his right wrist in Monday's clash with the Grizzlies and hasn't recovered from the blow. Sharpe's absence will likely result in a massive shift for Brooklyn's starting center Nicolas Claxton. The 24-year-old put in a nice 21-point performance against Memphis but has struggled since the All-Star break. Claxton was a double-double machine prior to the break, but his numbers have dropped to 10.9 points and 7.6 rebounds since play resumed.

Atlanta Hawks shooting guard Kobe Bufkin (toe) won't play on Tuesday against the Knicks. The young guard will be kept out by a sore big toe. Before getting hurt, Bufkin had started to get some opportunities to impress, with Trae Young (finger) out of the lineup. He's averaged 16.3 minutes per game since the All-Star break. The available minutes will now be mostly split between the trio of Trent Forrest, Garrison Mathews, and Wesley Matthews. However, none of the three should excite fantasy managers.
