Vince Williams Jr. Out for Remainder of Season
ESPN's Shams Charania reports that Utah Jazz guard/forward Vince Williams Jr. (knee) has been diagnosed with a torn left ACL and will miss the remainder of the season. Williams' injury occurred in a collision with Tari Eason against Houston on Monday. A timetable for when the 25-year-old is expected to return hasn't been set. His injury boosts Isaiah Collier and Ace Bailey's fantasy value moving forward, as they will have expanded roles. Williams saw action in 40 contests this season, posting averages of 7.5 points, 4.2 assists and 3.9 rebounds in 20.5 minutes per game.

Jaxson Hayes Sidelined on Tuesday
Los Angeles Lakers center Jaxson Hayes (ankle) will not play Tuesday against the Orlando Magic due to a sprained right ankle. His next opportunity to return comes Thursday versus the Phoenix Suns. With the 25-year-old sidelined, Deandre Ayton should continue handling the bulk of the minutes at center. Jarred Vanderbilt and Maxi Kleber are expected to absorb most of the backup minutes, though neither projects as a strong fantasy option in Tuesday's matchup.

De'Anthony Melton Will Play Against the Pelicans; Al Horford Ruled Out
Golden State Warriors guard De'Anthony Melton (knee) was upgraded to available for his team's contest against the Pelicans, but forward/center Al Horford (toe) will not play on Tuesday. With Steph Curry (knee) and Kristaps Porzingis (illness) also sidelined, Melton is likely be very active on Tuesday and makes a solid streaming and DFS option to consider after being upgraded from questionable for injury management purposes. The Warriors have another game on Wednesday, so Melton could be a candidate to sit out the second night of the back-to-back after playing Tuesday. Without Horford, Gui Santos will continue to carry a big workload alongside Draymond Green (back), who is listed as probable.

Naz Reid Listed Available to Play Tuesday
Minnesota Timberwolves forward/center Naz Reid (shoulder) has been upgraded from questionable to available for Tuesday night's matchup with the Portland Trail Blazers. Reid missed Minnesota's last game with a sore right shoulder but will be able to return to the rotation along with Rudy Gobert, who will be back in the lineup after sitting out one game due to a suspension for accumulated technical fouls. Joan Beringer started at center on Sunday, but with both Reid and Gobert back, the 19-year-old will return to his more limited role.
