Brooklyn Nets guard Cam Thomas (ankle/foot) won't play in Tuesday's game versus the Philadelphia 76ers. Missing a fifth consecutive outing due to a right ankle/midfoot sprain, Thomas sets his sights toward returning on Thursday against the Detroit Pistons for the start of Brooklyn's six-game road trip. The 22-year-old scoring machine had started his last 13 games for the Nets, delivering 21.9 points, 3.5 assists, 2.4 threes, and 1.2 steals in 33.6 minutes per contest over this period. With Ben Simmons (back) also out on Tuesday, Dennis Schroder remains in play as a strong fantasy streamer for points, assists, and treys. Over Schroder's last five games (all starts), he's averaging 16.6 points, 6.2 dimes, and 3.2 triples while shooting a scorching 61.5% from deep in 30.0 minutes.

Brooklyn Nets guard/forward Ben Simmons (back) remains out for Tuesday's contest versus the Philadelphia 76ers. After originally being listed with leg soreness for some of his prior absences, Simmons is now once again dealing with a nerve impingement in his left lower back that kept him on the shelf for nearly three months between November and January. In nine games (six starts) since Jan. 29, the 27-year-old former All-Star is producing a mere 5.9 points on 63.2% shooting from the floor, 6.0 rebounds, 5.1 assists, and 1.0 steals in 18.7 minutes per contest. Consider him questionable at best for Thursday's tilt against the Detroit Pistons. Cameron Johnson has started Brooklyn's past four games in Simmons' stead, averaging 19.9 points, 3.8 three-pointers on 46.9% shooting from downtown, and 1.5 swipes during 31.8 minutes.

Phoenix Suns guard/forward Josh Okogie (abdomen) will miss a second consecutive game on Tuesday versus Denver. He's battling a lower abdominal strain. Okogie kicked off the campaign as a starter in Phoenix, but he's been now nailed to a bench for over two months, and the 25-year-old offers very little in fantasy basketball as a member of the second unit. Eric Gordon will lead the bench mob in Tuesday's very challenging matchup against the reigning champions, with Saben Lee getting some extra opportunities off the pine without Okogie and Devin Booker (ankle).

Phoenix Suns forward Nassir Little (knee) will sit out a fourth consecutive contest on Tuesday against Denver. The 24-year-old is kept off the court by inflammation in his left knee. Little's absence doesn't mean a lot for the Suns, as he's been limited to only 12.5 minutes a night across the season, although the former Trail Blazers could currently get some extra work with Devin Booker (ankle) on the shelf. His next chance to return comes on Thursday in a clash with Toronto.

Dallas Mavericks forward/center Maxi Kleber (knee) is questionable to face the Pacers on Tuesday. After dealing with toe and nose issues, Kleber has now landed on the injury report with left knee soreness. He could miss out on a great opportunity to make noise, as Indiana is giving up the third-most points per game in the league (122.0) and is ranked 24th in rebounding rate (48.8). Kleber sees 20-plus minutes regularly, and his absence would give a good boost to the rest of the Mavericks bigs. P.J. Washington has been the best frontcourt asset from Dallas. He has posted 11.6 points and 5.2 rebounds in 31.9 minutes since arriving from Charlotte.
