Tuesday’s six-game NBA slate brings chaos for fantasy basketball managers — with injuries, back-to-back rest risks, and rotation shakeups across the league. Josh Lloyd breaks down the latest updates and streaming targets for all formats.

Brandon Miller faces a two-week reevaluation, Dylan Harper is out multiple weeks, and the New Orleans Pelicans rotation remains a mess with Zion Williamson questionable and Jordan Poole benched. Meanwhile, Brandin Podziemski could capitalize again if he starts, and Cason Wallace plus Ajay Mitchell offer upside with the Oklahoma City Thunder.

Josh also identifies two-for-one streaming opportunities with the Clippers and Suns, explains how to handle upcoming 11-game slates, and reveals the best adds for 10-, 12-, and points leagues.
