With Allen sidelined, Evan Mobley will shift over to center, with Okoro entering the starting unit. Mobley has had a solid series, but he’ll have to really step up with Allen out of the rotation. Tristan Thompson will likely also be forced into extra minutes behind Mobley.

The 76ers are without Guerschon Yabusele, who has been ruled out with a sore knee. His absence means Bona moves into the starting lineup, and the rookie should be streamed in deep leagues. The other change is Grimes, who returns to the lineup after sitting out Sunday’s loss to the Raptors. The former Knicks first-round pick replaces Jared Butler, who will come off the bench.

With Kevin Durant, Bradley Beal and Royce O’Neale all sidelined, Allen will get his first start since February and just his fourth start of the season. Phoenix is without multiple rotation pieces, so Allen should be a priority on offense, which should allow him to pour in the triples.

Lowry is available to play for the first time in nearly two months. His minutes will be managed, so fantasy managers should not expect too much from the veteran point guard. Lowry is not worth the streaming risk in most fantasy leagues.

With the 76ers focused on improving their draft lottery odds and playing without Guerschon Yabusele, the Knicks don’t need to play Towns. He’ll sit with the hope that KAT will be available for Wednesday’s game in Cleveland. Mitchell Robinson will fill the void in the starting lineup, and Precious Achiuwa should also play more minutes.

Yabusele has a sore right knee and will not play on Tuesday. His absence means the 76ers will roll out an NBA-record 52nd different starting lineup this season. Adem Bona and Ricky Council IV will play more, with the former being worthy of a look for managers needing rebounds and defensive stats. Council possesses the higher offensive ceiling.

Wiggins will miss a fifth-straight game on Wednesday, and a timeline for his return isn’t clear at this point. Cason Wallace and Isaiah Joe will continue to take on extra minutes with Wiggins sidelined, with Joe coming off scoring 31 points on eight three-pointers on Monday.

This will be a second-straight absence for Rhoden, though prior to this hand injury, he wasn’t a consistent part of Toronto’s rotation. In fact, he has spent more time in the G League and hasn’t appeared in an NBA game since March 12 regardless of his health.

Springer played 27 minutes in Monday’s loss to the Hornets and will likely shoulder a similar workload if cleared to play on Wednesday. He would only be worth the risk as a deep-league streamer if Collin Sexton (pelvis) does not play. Sexton is questionable on the initial injury report for Wednesday.

Green will miss a second straight game, freeing up additional minutes for Gary Trent Jr. and Kevin Porter Jr. With Damian Lillard also out, those two will likely approach 30 minutes. They’re both worth streaming due to the injuries to other Bucks rotation guards.

Following a seven-game absence, Anthony will be back to take on San Antonio. He had been a consistent starter at point guard, but he came off the bench in the last game he played, which was a return from a two-game absence. Anthony will come off the bench in this one, allowing Cory Joseph to continue to start. However, Joseph and Anthony Black will lose out on minutes with Anthony available.
