Tyson notched 21 points (8-10 FG, 2-4 3Pt, 3-4 FT), two rebounds, three assists, one block and one steal across 32 minutes during Wednesday's 127-111 loss to the Bulls.
The Scoop: Tyson moved back into the starting lineup at the expense of De'Andre Hunter, a move that yielded immediate results. While fantasy managers had been calling for this move for some time, it is now officially time to ensure Tyson is rostered in all formats. In 12 games over the past month, Tyson has flirted with top 50 value in standard leagues, averaging 15.7 points, 7.0 rebounds and 2.0 three-pointers in 30.7 minutes per contest.

Wade closed with two points (1-3 FG, 0-2 3Pt), two rebounds and one assist in 22 minutes during Wednesday's 127-111 loss to the Bulls.
The Scoop: Wade remained in the starting lineup, although he offered nothing in terms of tangible production. Coming off arguably his best performance of the season, this effort was more in line with what we have come to expect from Wade. Through 26 games, he has averaged just 5.4 points and 1.0 three-pointers in 22.5 minutes per game. Even if he continues to start, there is no reason to pay too much attention, outside of deeper formats.

Gobert recorded 16 points (6-8 FG, 4-6 FT), 16 rebounds, four assists, one steal and four blocks across 35 minutes during Wednesday's 116-110 loss to the Grizzlies.
The Scoop: Gobert was limited to just seven points his last time out, but Minnesota did a much better job of keeping him involved in the offense in this one, consistently feeding him in the low post. Gobert has scored in double figures in three of the past four games, and he racked up four blocks Wednesday evening after having accumulated just two in his previous three outings.

Schroder is questionable for Thursday's game in Portland due to a right ankle sprain.
The Scoop: Schroder must have tweaked his ankle during Sunday's loss to the Timberwolves, but we'll have a better idea of his status based on his activity level at Thursday's shootaround. If Schroder is forced to the sideline, Devin Carter might be able to get into the rotation.

Holiday (calf) has been ruled out for Thursday's game against the Kings.
The Scoop: Holiday has been sidelined for over a month with a strained right calf and remains without a timetable for return. The guard has started in all 12 of his appearances this season, and his absence -- along with injuries to Scoot Henderson (hamstring) and Blake Wesley (foot) -- has opened up more opportunities for Caleb Love and Rayan Rupert. Holiday's next chance to play will come Saturday in a rematch with Sacramento.

Tyson is in the Cavaliers' starting lineup against the Bulls on Wednesday.
The Scoop: Tyson came off the bench against the Hornets on Sunday, but he's been inserted back in the starting lineup for Thursday's game while De'Andre Hunter reverts to a reserve role. As a starter this season, Tyson is averaging 14.8 points, 6.0 rebounds, 2.2 assists, 2.4 threes, 0.9 steals and 0.8 blocks over 29.1 minutes per game.

Nurkic (rest) is available for Thursday's game against the Lakers, Ben Anderson of KSL News Salt Lake City reports.
The Scoop: Nurkic was held out for rest purposes Monday against the Mavericks. He's been cleared to return Thursday, which means Kyle Filipowski will likely return to the bench. Nurkic has been in the Jazz's starting five since Nov. 2, and in 18 games as a starter this season he has averaged 8.6 points, 10.1 rebounds, 4.2 assists and 1.5 steals over 26.1 minutes per game.

Kleber (back) is listed as probable for Thursday's game against the Jazz, Dan Woike of The Athletic reports.
The Scoop: Kleber has missed the Lakers' last two games due to a lumbar muscle strain, but he is poised to make his return Thursday. With Deandre Ayton (elbow) ruled out, Kleber will likely see an uptick in rotational minutes at center behind Jaxson Hayes.

Vincent (back) is listed as questionable for Thursday's game against Utah, Dan Woike of The Athletic reports.
The Scoop: Vincent is working through low back soreness, which puts him in jeopardy of missing Thursday's game. With Austin Reaves (calf) sidelined, Dalton Knecht and Jake LaRavia would be poised for more minutes off the bench if Vincent is not cleared to play.

Payton (illness) isn't on the injury report for Thursday's game against the Suns.
The Scoop: Payton will return from a one-game absence due to illness. With Pat Spencer (personal) out, Payton could see a few extra minutes. Payton has played fewer than five minutes in three of his last four games.
