Impact An undisclosed problem prevented Johnson from participating in the Rebels' latest matchup. Currently, their next matchup is a home game Saturday against Nevada.

Elijah Parquet - Part of starting lineup Tuesday Parquet logged four points (2-6 FG, 0-2 3Pt), two assists and two blocks across 31 minutes during UNLV's 86-72 win Tuesday versus Wyoming.

Impact Unsurprisingly, Parquet was added to UNLV's starting lineup without Luis Rodriguez (leg) available. The guard logged 10 games started across that many matchups UNLV played in between Nov. 6 and Dec. 11. But when Rodriguez is available, the team must omit someone from its lineup. That individual could be Parquet if he continues to play badly.

Luis Rodriguez - Not spotted in warmups Tuesday Rodriguez (leg) was not spotted in warmups ahead of Tuesday's game against Wyoming, Mike Grimala of the Las Vegas Sun reports.

Luis Rodriguez - Day-to-day with leg injury Luis (leg) has been listed as day-to-day ahead of Tuesday's matchup with Wyoming, Mike Grimala of the Las Vegas Sun reports.

Impact Luis appears unlikely to suit up during Tuesday's matchup with Wyoming, as he hasn't been able to practice due to a leg injury. The 6-foot-6 senior has started in 19 games this season, logging 12.1 points, 5.7 rebounds, and 2.2 steals on 30.3 minutes per game. If Luis is unable to play on Tuesday, Eli Parquet would likely handle a large role for the Rebels.

Elijah Parquet - Plays 31 minutes as backup Parquet (knee) registered four points (2-4 FG), two rebounds, one assist, one block and one steal in 31 minutes during Saturday's 76-63 loss to Fresno State.

Impact Parquet sat out eight games UNLV played in between Dec. 16 and Jan. 18. Fantasy managers should not be surprised if he is part of the Rebels' starting lineup again sooner than later. In between Nov. 6 and Dec. 11, Parquet logged 10 games started across that many matchups UNLV played.

Elijah Parquet - Currently day-to-day Parquet (knee) has a day-to-day status, Mike Grimala of the Las Vegas Sun reports.

Impact The freshman had a stellar performance Tuesday before fouling out, reaching a career high 19 points while shooting 54.5 percent from the field. The guard has a large 250 pound frame and uses his muscle to his advantage when driving to the paint. Hall is currently averaging 6.8 points and 2.0 rebounds in six games played.
