Cissoko is available after missing Tuesday’s loss to the Clippers due to a stint in the league’s concussion protocol. His return will not impact fantasy basketball.

Landale finished with six points and three rebounds in 21 minutes while making a spot start for Alperen Sengun Monday against the Thunder. The 29-year-old center is questionable for Tuesday’s game, but with Sengun off the injury report Landale has no fantasy value regardless of his availability.

Payton is set to miss Tuesday’s game against the Knicks with a nasal bone contusion. The 32-year-old shooting guard doesn’t typically have much fantasy value, though he might’ve been in line for a bigger role Tuesday with Stephen Curry (ankle) questionable.

Brooks missed Monday’s game against the Thunder with a knee injury, but he’s off the injury report and will be back Tuesday against the Pacers. Cam Whitmore and Jae’Sean Tate could see fewer minutes with Brooks back in the rotation.

Thompson missed Monday’s game against the Thunder with a shoulder injury, but is off the injury report and will be back Tuesday against the Pacers. With Fred VanVleet (ankle) out, Thompson will be in the starting lineup. His return could negatively impact Cam Whitmore, who played 40 minutes Monday.

VanVleet returned from a right ankle strain that kept him out since February 1 on Saturday only to re-aggravate the injury in the loss to the Kings. It’s unclear when he might return to the court for the Rockets. Amen Thompson missed Monday’s game with a shoulder injury, but will start for the Rockets Tuesday.
