Squirrel’s Nuts & Bolts NBA - February 3rd, 2026
Tuesday has seen a flurry of trades in the NBA as we approach Thursday’s trade deadline, adding another element of variance to our heavy injury news. There are 10 games on the NBA schedule, but only eight are on the DFS slate for both FanDuel and DraftKings, with both sites cutting out the two late games. Jaren Jackson, John Konchar, Jock Landale, Vince Williams, Dario Saric, Anfernee Simons, Jaden Ivey, Mike Conley, and Nikola Vucevic were all traded today and are presumably unavailable for their new teams. Bennedict Mathurin, T.J. McConnell, Andrew Nembhard, Aaron Nesmith, Pascal Siakam, Keyonte George, Miles McBride, Mitchell Robinson, Tyler Herro, Josh Giddey, and PJ Washington are all out, while Norman Powell, D’Angelo Russell, and Brandon Williams are all listed as Doubtful. Andrew Wiggins, Christian Braun, Austin Reaves, Jalen Smith, Bobby Portis, Shai Gilgeous-Alexander, Isaiah Hartenstein, Chet Holmgren, and Jaylin Williams are all Questionable.
This is a standard caveat for this article, but with so many injury situations, it will be critical to pay attention to the injury news and starting lineups. Even minor injuries can disrupt the slate when a minimum-priced player gets surprisingly elevated into the starting lineup, so with late swap, it’s essential to monitor the starting lineups on a slate this large with so many injury situations.
