Kamil Krzaczynski-USA TODAY Sports

Here's a look at the injuries affecting Tuesday's three-game NBA slate:

Atlanta Hawks

There are no injuries impacting DFS value for the Hawks.

Chicago Bulls

The Bulls open their season at home against the Cleveland Cavaliers, and have confirmed feature PG Derrick Rose is included in the starting lineup, despite sustaining an eye injury this preseason.

SF Mike Dunleavy's back injury continues to haunt him, and will be on the sidelines until at least late November.

Cleveland Cavaliers

SF LeBron James has been confirmed to start Tuesday in Chicago as albeit a back injury.

PG Kyrie Irving will be out until at least late-November after fracturing his kneecap in last year's NBA Finals.

SG Iman Shumpert (wrist) is slated for a mid-December return.

Detroit Pistons

Utility guard Brandon Jennings is targeting to return around Christmas time, and should be an afterthought when drafting your team.

SG Kentavious Caldwell-Pope was slowed by a sore left foot, but has been cleared to play and receive the start at SG when the Pistons travel to Atlanta to face the Hawks.

Golden State Warriors

C Andrew Bogut has been listed as probable for the season opener at home versus the New Orleans Pelicans after sustaining a broken nose two weeks ago. If he plays, he'll likely wear a protective mask.

New Orleans Pelicans

Utility forward Luke Babbit is listed as questionable for the season opener in Golden State with a sore hamstring.

C Omer Asik is close to a return, but will likely sit this game out, while fellow C Alex Ajinca is sitting out four-to-six weeks with a hamstring strain - paving the way for Pelicans C Kendrick Perkins to log major minutes.

Tyreke Evans is sidelined for the next 6-8 weeks after undergoing arthroscopic surgery on his right knee.
