Questionable

Out

  • Domantas Sabonis l Ribs l Sacramento Kings
    • The Kings have struggled this season, having lost four of their previous five contests. Although Domantas Sabonis is averaging a career high in rebounds (14.2), he is scoring his fewest PPG (14.5) since his third season. If Sabonis and LaVine are unable to play, DeMar DeRozan and Russell Westbrook will need to step up.
    • TOP DFS PLAYS if Sabonis is out: DeMar DeRozan ($7,600); Russell Westbrook ($6,700); Dennis Schroder ($6,100)
    • TOP PICK6 PICKS if Sabonis is out: DeMar DeRozan More Than 20.5 Points
  • Jimmy Butler | Back | Golden State Warriors
  • Zach LaVine l Back l Sacramento Kings
  • Drake Powell l Ankle l Brooklyn Nets
  • Johnny Furphy l Ankle l Indiana Pacers
  • Austin Reaves l Groin l Los Angeles Lakers
    • When James and Doncic were both out early in the season, Austin Reaves kept the Lakers afloat. However, he has now found himself on the injury report. Luka Doncic will lead the way against the Spurs, but Jake LaRavia and Marcus Smart will have a chance to make a larger impact if Reaves is out.
    • TOP DFS PLAYS if Reaves is out: Luka Doncic ($11,400); Jake LaRavia ($6,000); Marcus Smart ($5,200)
    • TOP PICK6 PICKS if Reaves is out: Luka Doncic More Than 32.5 Points; Rui Hachimura More Than 1.5 3-Pointers
  • Quenton Jackson l Hamstring l Indiana Pacers
  • Walker Kessler l Shoulder l Utah Jazz
  • Tobias Harris l Ankle l Detroit Pistons
  • Khris Middleton l Knee l Washington Wizards
  • Anthony Davis l Calf l Dallas Mavericks
    • The Mavs’ best player, Anthony Davis, has already missed two games and will be out once again tonight against the Pelicans. Without AD, D’Angelo Russell, PJ Washington, and Cooper Flagg have been significant contributors for Dallas.
    • TOP DFS PLAYS with Davis out: PJ Washington ($7,000); Cooper Flagg ($6,800); D’Angelo Russell ($6,100)
    • TOP PICK6 PICKS with Davis out: D’Angelo Russell More Than 22.5 Points + Assists; Cooper Flagg More Than 17.5 Points
  • Matisse Thybulle l Thumb l Portland Trail Blazers
  • Blake Wesley l Foot l Portland Trail Blazers
  • Dylan Harper l Calf l San Antonio Spurs
  • Stephen Curry | Illness | Golden State Warriors
    • After a two-game losing streak, the Warriors got back in the win column Tuesday but will be without Stephen Curry tonight against the Kings. With Curry out and Butler questionable, Steve Kerr will need Jonathan Kuminga, Moses Moody, and Brandin Podziemski to make an impact on offense.
    • TOP DFS PLAYS with Curry out: Jonathan Kuminga ($6,500); Brandin Podziemski ($5,500); Moses Moody ($4,300)
    • TOP PICK6 PICKS with Curry out: Jonathan Kuminga More Than 22.5 Points; Draymond Green More Than 22.5 Points + Rebounds + Assists
  • LeBron James | Sciatica | Los Angeles Lakers
    • Even though LeBron James has yet to make his 2025-26 season debut, the Lakers have gone 6-2 in their first eight games. Luka Doncic, DeAndre Ayton, and Rui Hachimura have all played a significant role in the Lakers’ success this season. Until James returns, everyone must continue to elevate their game.
    • TOP DFS PLAYS with James out: Luka Doncic ($11,400); DeAndre Ayton ($7,700); Rui Hachimura ($6,300)
    • TOP PICK6 PICKS with James out: Luka Doncic More Than 32.5 Points; Rui Hachimura More Than 17.5 Points + Rebounds
  • Zion Williamson | Hamstring | New Orleans Pelicans
    • New Orleans won their first game of the season against the Hornets on Tuesday, even though they were without their best player, Zion Williamson. With Williamson sidelined for at least the next week, Trey Murphy and Jordan Poole will be tasked with more opportunities on offense.
    • TOP DFS PLAYS with Williamson out: Trey Murphy ($6,900); Jordan Poole ($6,300); Herbert Jones ($4,700)
    • TOP PICK6 PICKS with Williamson out: Herbert Jones More Than 10.5 Points; Trey Murphy More Than 1.5 Steals + Blocks
  • Tyler Herro | Ankle | Miami Heat
    • Tyler Herro hasn’t made his season debut yet for the Miami Heat, who have begun the season 4-3. Three players who have flourished offensively this season and are having career years are Norman Powell, Jaime Jaquez Jr., and Simone Fontecchio.
    • TOP DFS PLAYS with Herro out: Norman Powell ($6,900); Jaime Jaquez Jr. ($6,000); Simone Fontecchio ($3,800)
