Lonnie Walker IV - Questionable TuesdayWalker is questionable for Tuesday's game against the Magic due to a left knee contusion, Brian Lewis of the New York Post reports.

ImpactWalker sustained his knee injury during Sunday's win over the Wizards. Although he was able to return to the game, he had a limited impact, totaling five points, two rebounds and two assists in 14 minutes. It's not yet clear whether he'll be available Tuesday, but Spencer Dinwiddie, Royce O'Neale and Mikal Bridges could see larger roles if Walker is out.

Ben Simmons - Will remain out TuesdaySimmons (hip) has been ruled out for Tuesday's game against the Magic, Tim Bontemps of ESPN.com reports.

ImpactSimmons will miss a fourth straight game due to a hip contusion. Coach Jacque Vaughn said prior to Sunday's win over the Wizards that Simmons is considered day-to-day, though he'll presumably have to practice before he's cleared for game action. Simmons' next chance to suit up will come Thursday in Miami.

Cameron Johnson - Gets big minutes SundayJohnson logged 14 points (5-16 FG, 2-11 3Pt, 2-2 FT), six rebounds and one assist across 35 minutes in Sunday's 102-94 win over the Wizards.

ImpactIn his second appearance following a seven-game absence due to a calf strain, Johnson struggled to find his shooting touch, but fantasy managers had to be heartened by the big minutes load he handled. Johnson had previously been limited to 25 minutes in his return to the lineup for Friday's 121-107 loss to the Celtics, but based on the level of playing he received Sunday, he'll be free of restrictions moving forward. With early season standout Cam Thomas (ankle) expected to remain sidelined until the latter part of November, Johnson should continue to have a path to double-digit field-goal attempts on a regular basis.

Danilo Gallinari - Resting MondayGallinari will be rested for Monday's game against Toronto.

ImpactGallinari should be back for Wednesday's game against Dallas with some fresh legs. Through nine games, Gallinari is averaging 8.7 points in only 14.4 minutes per contest. We could see more of Bilal Coulibaly and Corey Kispert on Monday.

Tyus Jones - Minimal impact in lossJones notched zero points (0-5 FG, 0-1 3Pt), one rebound, one assist and two steals across 23 minutes during Sunday's 102-94 loss to Brooklyn.

ImpactJones scored in double figures in two of his three appearances leading up to Sunday's matchup, but he was held scoreless for the first time this season during the loss to the Nets. It was encouraging to see him generate multiple steals, but it was still a disappointing performance overall, continuing a stretch of relatively inconsistent stat lines early in the year. He's now averaging 9.3 points, 4.8 assists and 2.6 steals in 26.3 minutes per game this season.

Day'Ron Sharpe - Pulls down 12 reboundsSharpe racked up eight points (3-6 FG, 0-1 3Pt, 2-2 FT), 12 rebounds, one assist, one block and one steal over 19 minutes during Sunday's 102-94 win over the Wizards.

ImpactThe 12 rebounds mark a season high for Sharpe, and it's notable that he did this despite Nic Claxton's return from an ankle issue. Ben Simmons is currently out with a hip issue and is day-to-day, so his return could complicate Sharpe's path to minutes since Simmons can be deployed as a small-ball center.
