Tyson Chandler (ankle) should play Tuesday

Tyson Chandler (ankle) is listed as questionable for Tuesday's game, but Mike Woodson said that he'll play.

Chandler previously said he wasn't going to miss any time, and it doesn't sound like the ankle sprain is serious enough where the center even needed to consider the possibility. If you own him, keep him locked and loaded into your lineup.

Ty Lawson strains hamstring, out for game

Ty Lawson strained his left hamstring against the Celtics on Friday and will not return.

He looked like he was playing with a little limp for some of the game, but finally checked out with two minutes left in the third quarter. Lawson finished with 20 points, four boards, four assists and two 3-pointers in 28 minutes.

Tyler Hansbrough sprains left shoulder

Tyler Hansbrough suffered a sprained shoulder against the Suns on Friday and will not return.

It's to his AC joint and the team will likely re-evaluate him to check on the severity of the sprain. Hansbrough had been starting for the Raptors and finished with no points in three minutes. Amir Johnson had been demoted, but he'll now get a chance to get it going with little competition behind him. If he was let loose in your league, it's probably time to pick him back up.

Nene (foot) out for game on Friday night

Nene went to the locker room in the third quarter of Friday's game due to right foot tendinitis and will not return.

He was dealing with right Achilles tendinitis last month, so it's not too far-fetched to assume he aggravated his injury. Considering how often Nene is hurt, there's a good chance he misses Monday's game against his former team, the Nuggets. Trevor Booker should pick up most of the minutes while Nene is out. Jan Vesely could also get some playing time. Nene finished with 10 points, two boards, two assists, two steals and one block.

Robert Sacre starting, Jordan Hill off bench

Robert Sacre will start at center for the Lakers against the Kings on Friday.

Jordan Hill will come off the bench and his minutes were trending down before tonight, playing just 15.0 minutes per game over his last two. Hill did have some injuries, but coach Mike D'Antoni said he likes Sacre's defense and he'll let Hill play in shorter bursts. Hill probably isn't a must-own player anymore, but he should still have a chance to produce off the bench tonight. Sacre is worth a look in deep leagues.

Bismack Biyombo sprains right ankle vs. PHI

Bismack Biyombo suffered a right ankle sprain in the first half of Friday's game and will not return.

He played well in his seven minutes before rolling his ankle, scoring four points with three boards and one block. Biyombo was playing just 13 minutes per game off the bench behind Al Jefferson, so the Bobcats might have to play Cody Zeller a little more at center while Biyombo is out.

Chandler Parsons will play vs. Warriors

Chandler Parsons (back) will play against the Warriors on Friday night.

He missed two games with his back spasms issue and it's unclear how many minutes he'll see. Parsons was dealing with that problem for about a month, so we'll see how he responds to the action tonight. Francisco Garcia will move back to a bench role. One interesting thing to also is watch is how Terrence Jones is used. His numbers took a big dip with Parsons out while Omri Casspi picked up some playing time. Fantasy owners should not hesitate in putting Parsons back in their lineups.

Martell Webster sprains left ankle vs. Bucks

Martell Webster suffered a left ankle sprain at the end of the first quarter of Friday's game and is doubtful to return.

He launched a half-court shot at the buzzer, then came up lame and was in a lot of pain. Webster has been terrific for the Wizards and they might have to bring along rookie Otto Porter a little faster than expected. Webster had eight points and two 3-pointers after playing the entire first quarter. Porter went from a long-term stash to a speculative add in deeper formats, but he struggled off the bat on Friday.

Russell Westbrook will play vs. Pelicans

Russell Westbrook (illness) will play against the Pelicans.

He'll start and there was never really much doubt for a guy that has been a warrior throughout his career. Westbrook should be in all lineups and will look to slow down a red-hot Jrue Holiday. Hopefully, Scott Brooks still plays Reggie Jackson a little more with a little less Derek Fisher.

Nikola Vucevic will not play against Knicks

Nikola Vucevic (ankle) will not play against the Knicks on Friday.

This will be his second game on the sidelines after stepping on a cameraman's foot on Monday. Vuecvic should be considered questionable for Sunday's game against the Rockets. Glen Davis will get plenty of minutes at center tonight.

Ersan Ilyasova to get start at power forward

Ersan Ilyasova will start against the Wizards on Friday night.

It had to be done. The Bucks are without Zaza Pachulia and Ekpe Udoh, so Ilyasova is really the only option. He's coming off a 22-point, 10-board game on Wednesday and should be put in all fantasy lineups. The Bucks might have to use Khris Middleton as a backup power forward tonight while Giannis Antetokounmpo could see over 24 minutes at small forward, as well.

Otto Porter is active for Friday's game

Otto Porter (hip) is active for Friday's game against the Bucks.

Martell Webster and Trevor Ariza have been great as the starting wings, so Porter is unlikely to take away any minutes from them. However, Chris Singelton played 20.5 minutes per game over the last two, so there's a chance Porter can at least get some action tonight. Fantasy owners shouldn't be too excited about the talented rookie yet and we'll see how he looks tonight. He's only worth stashing in very deep leagues.
