Malcolm Brogdon (concussion) optimistic for Pacers on Wednesday
Indiana Pacers shooting guard Malcolm Brogdon (concussion) said he is "optimistic" about playing Wednesday versus the Chicago Bulls.
Pacers' Victor Oladipo (knee, quad) to make season debut Wednesday
Indiana Pacers guard Victor Oladipo (knee, quad) will make his season debut on Wednesday against the Chicago Bulls.
What It Means:
Pacers head coach Nate McMillan said Oladipo, who hasn't played in over a year, will be on a minutes limit until the All-Star break. The Pacers will then re-evaluate Oladipo's rule during the break. Oladipo is going to be handled with extreme care, but this is obviously encouraging news.
Oladipo averaged 18.8 points, 5.6 rebounds, 5.2 assists, 1.7 steals, and 2.1 3-pointers on 42.3 percent shooting from the field last season.
Myles Turner (illness) misses Pacers practice Tuesday
Indiana Pacers forward/center Myles Turner (illness) was sent home from Tuesday's practice.
What It Means:
Turner missed Sunday's game and he may be held out again Wednesday versus the Chicago Bulls. JaKarr Sampson drew the start in place of Turner, but Domantas Sabonis benefitted the most, with 27 points, 14 rebounds, and 10 assists for his second career triple-double.
Turner is averaging 53.1 FanDuel points per game. numberFire's models project him for 27.8 points, 7.1 rebounds, 1.2 assists, 0.6 steals, 1.7 blocks, and 0.5 3-pointers over the rest of the season.
DeAndre Jordan (finger) will return for Nets on Wednesday
Brooklyn Nets center DeAndre Jordan (right middle finger) will play Wednesday versus the Detroit Pistons.
What It Means:
Jordan missed the past five games. His return will likely cut into Jarrett Allen's workload and could cause Nic Claxton to fall out of the rotation. Jordan was averaging 7.8 points and 8.8 rebounds in January before the injury.
DAJ is averaging 53.1 FanDuel points per game. numberFire's models project him for 8.7 points, 8.2 rebounds, and 1.2 blocks over the rest of the season.

Nets optimistic Kyrie Irving (personal) will return Wednesday
Brooklyn Nets head coach Kenny Atkinson is "optimistic" that guard Kyrie Irving (personal) will play Wednesday versus the Detroit Pistons.
What It Means:
Irving reportedly left the arena on Sunday and didn't play after hearing about Kobe Bryant's death. He practiced on Tuesday and seems to be on track for Wednesday's contest. Spencer Dinwiddie will likely return to the second unit. Irving is averaging 25.6 points, 5.2 rebounds, 6.4 assists, 2.0 steals, 0.6 blocks, and 2.8 3-pointers over the last five games.
Kyrie is averaging 47.0 FanDuel points per game. numberFire's models project him for 26.4 points, 4.5 rebounds, 5.4 assists, 1.5 steals, 0.5 blocks, and 3.2 3-pointers over the rest of the season.

Kristaps Porzingis (knee) questionable for Mavericks on Tuesday
Dallas Mavericks forward/center Kristaps Porzingis (left knee/injury recovery) is questionable for Tuesday's game versus the Phoenix Suns.
What It Means:
This is the Mavericks' first back-to-back since Porzingis returned from his knee injury last week, so they may play it safe and hold him out. Porzingis scored 14 points with 10 rebounds, 3 assists, 1 steal, 1 block, and 2 3-pointers in 26.5 minutes on Monday. Maxi Kleber may make a start if Porzingis is unavailable. Willie Cauley-Stein could also see a decent share of minutes on Tuesday in his expected Mavericks debut.
numberFire's models expect KP to score 35.7 FanDuel points on Tuesday. He's priced at $7,000.
