Tuesday's Injury Report

Tuesday was a relatively big night with 18 teams in action. As far as injuries went, there were some pre-game rumors, but not much changed.

- Michael Redd missed another game, but Milwaukee won their game against Philadelphia with Charlie Bell and Villenueva stepping up big off the bench. That makes two big games for Bell so go grab him if you need a spot start. I just did in one of my leagues, dropping Michael Finley.


- Seattle traveled to Cleveland and there was a slight scare late, with Durant turning his ankle off a jumper. He walked off the court looking fine though, so I wouldn't think it's anything worse than a mild ankle sprain.

- T-mac is due out for probably another week for the Rockets, but Luther Head was huge with 24 pts in their win over the Wizards. On the Wizards side, Gilbert Arenas has recently hinted towards missing the rest of the season. At this point there's reason to make a rash decision if you've not already cut Arenas from your team. He basically said if his team has a chance late to make the playoffs and he feels he can help, he'll play and if they're cruising or out of it, he'll shut it down until the '08-09 season. This does up Antonio Daniels value a bit though, as he could be a solid contributor for the rest of the season.

- Dwyane Wade started tonight, although initially hinting towards coming off the bench again. He had a solid line tonight so it's probably safe for now to keep him the your starting lineups. Miami as a unit however looks awful. They just lost against the worst team in the league, albeit on the road.

- Luol Deng was out again when the Bulls hosted the Knicks. Nocioni filled in and was underwhelming to say the least with 7 pts on 3-12 shooting. Deng's still considered day-to-day with the achilles tendon injury and Chicago hopes to have him for their next game on Friday, but at this point it's uncertain. I'd keep him benched unless you've got a free roster slot. He doesn't seem worth the risk right now. The Bulls could use him though because they just lost against the Knicks at home and the crowd wasn't too pleased with the fourth quarter effort.

- Jamaal Tinsley returned to play in the Pacers' loss @ Utah. He played 29 minutes, shooting 5-10 for 15 pts and 5 asts. It was a decent game, but what owners are looking for are his dish numbers. Tinsley should be fine moving forward. It was a blowout in the 4th quarter so Jim O'Brien was resting his starters. Andrei Kirilenko was out again for the Jazz.

- I thought Kevin Martin might have returned in this contest with the Magic visiting, but he was in street clothes again. He should be back soon from his groin injury, but it may be another week.
