NBA starting lineups, injury news for Tuesday, January 26th

There won’t be much NBA action on Tuesday, as only three games are set to be played on the main slate. The three matchups are all set to tip-off between 7:30 and 8:00 p.m. ET. The first game of the night will feature the Los Angeles Clippers and Atlanta Hawks, but the Clips will be without Kawhi Leonard and Paul George because of Covid-19 health and safety protocols. Those absences could have a major effect on fantasy basketball and betting.

Let’s take a look at lineups for Tuesday night.
