In

  • Anthony Edwards | Hamstring | Minnesota Timberwolves
  • Jimmy Butler | Back | Golden State Warriors
  • Ayo Dosunmu | Quad | Chicago Bulls
  • Drake Powell | Ankle | Brooklyn Nets
  • Kelly Olynyk | Heel | San Antonio Spurs
  • Jeremy Sochan | Wrist | San Antonio Spurs
  • Steven Adams | Hip | Houston Rockets
  • De’Andre Hunter | Illness | Cleveland Cavaliers
  • Pelle Larsson | Illness | Miami Heat
  • Caris LeVert | Knee | Detroit Pistons

Out

  • LaMelo Ball | Ankle | Charlotte Hornets
    • Ball is attempting to return to action after a two-game absence due to an ankle injury. If he is unable to suit up, and with Collin Sexton also doubtful, Kon Knueppel and Miles Bridges will see expanded roles.
    • TOP DFS PLAYS if Ball is out: Kon Knueppel ($5,800)
    • TOP PICK6 PICKS if Ball is out: Kon Knueppel More Than 13.5 Points
  • Anthony Davis | Calf | Dallas Mavericks
    • Since AD got injured, the Dallas Mavericks have suffered three straight losses. The Mavs have been inconsistent on offense, but the No. 1 pick, Cooper Flagg, is coming off an elite performance of 20 points, nine rebounds, and three steals. When Davis is out, Dallas’ top three scorers are Flagg, P.J. Washington, and D’Angelo Russell.
    • TOP DFS PLAYS if Davis is out: P.J. Washington ($7,200); Cooper Flagg ($6,900); D’Angelo Russell ($6,300)
    • TOP PICK6 PICKS if Davis is out: Cooper Flagg More Than 28.5 Points + Rebounds + Assists; Daniel Gafford More Than 12.5 Points
  • Stephen Curry | Illness | Golden State Warriors
    • Curry will be forced to miss his second straight contest due to an illness. This is obviously a monumental short-term loss for Golden State from a production and stylistic standpoint. In Curry’s absence, Will Richard led the team in scoring with 30 points against Sacramento, while Moses Moody also saw an expanded role and Brandin Podziemski operated as the primary floor general. Finally, Jonathan Kuminga will see an uptick in usage.
    • TOP DFS PLAYS with Curry out: Will Richard ($4,200); Moses Moody ($4,900); Brandin Podziemski ($6,200)
    • TOP PICK6 PICKS with Curry out: Jonathan Kuminga More Than 21.5 Points
  • Bam Adebayo | Toe | Miami Heat
    • Adebayo was forced to exit Wednesday’s loss to Denver early with a sprained toe, and will also miss tonight’s contest as a result. Kel’el Ware will almost certainly replace Bam in the starting lineup and see a significantly expanded role.
    • TOP DFS PLAYS with Adebayo out: Kel’el Ware ($5,600)
    • TOP PICK6 PICKS with Adebayo out: Kel’el Ware More Than 13.5 Points
  • Domantas Sabonis | Rib | Sacramento Kings
    • Sabonis missed the Kings’ last game against the Warriors with an injury to his ribs. Sacramento beat Golden State without Sabonis on Wednesday due to Russell Westbrook, DeMar DeRozan, and Malik Monk all scoring 20+points. When everyone is involved, the Kings proved they can win without the three-time NBA All-Star.
    • TOP DFS PLAYS if Sabonis is out: DeMar DeRozan ($7,800); Russell Westbrook ($7,500); Malik Monk ($5,700)
    • TOP PICK6 PICKS if Sabonis is out: DeMar DeRozan More Than 20.5 Points; Russell Westbrook More Than 25.5 Points + Rebounds + Assists
  • Cam Thomas | Hamstring | Brooklyn Nets
  • De’Aaron Fox | Hamstring | San Antonio Spurs
  • Trae Young | Knee | Atlanta Hawks
    • Young suffered a sprained MCL at the end of October and could be sidelined throughout the entirety of November. In his absence thus far, Jalen Johnson has operated as the No. 1 option with Nickeil Alexander-Walker seeing an uptick in usage.
    • TOP DFS PLAYS with Young out: Jalen Johnson ($8,800); Nickeil Alexander-Walker ($6,100)
    • TOP PICK6 PICKS with Young out: Jalen Johnson More Than 21.5 Points; Nickeil Alexander-Walker More Than 17.5 Points
  • Brandon Miller | Shoulder | Charlotte Hornets
  • Dylan Harper | Calf | San Antonio Spurs
  • Jalen Williams | Wrist | Oklahoma City Thunder
    • OKC has been without its second-best player, Jalen Williams, for the first nine games of the season as he is recovering from a wrist injury. With Williams still sidelined, we have seen a balanced attack alongside reigning MVP SGA. Six players for the Thunder are averaging double digits this season, with Chet Holmgren and Ajay Mitchell both taking big leaps.
    • TOP DFS PLAYS with Williams out: Chet Holmgren ($7,800); Ajay Mitchell ($5,600)
    • TOP PICK6 PICKS with Williams out: Cason Wallace More Than 9.5 Points; Ajay Mitchell More Than 15.5 Points
  • Coby White | Calf | Chicago Bulls
  • Kevin Porter Jr. | Knee | Milwaukee Bucks
  • Dereck Lively II | Knee | Dallas Mavericks
  • Walker Kessler | Shoulder | Utah Jazz
  • Lonzo Ball | Knee | Cleveland Cavaliers
  • Taurean Prince | Neck | Milwaukee Bucks
  • Dean Wade | Eye | Cleveland Cavaliers
  • Bilal Coulibaly | Leg | Washington Wizards
  • Tobias Harris | Ankle | Detroit Pistons
  • Marcus Sasser | Hip | Detroit Pistons
  • Zach Edey | Ankle | Memphis Grizzlies
  • Ty Jerome | Calf | Memphis Grizzlies
  • Scotty Pippen Jr. | Toe | Memphis Grizzlies
  • Aaron Wiggins | Adductor | Oklahoma City Thunder
  • Tyler Herro | Ankle | Miami Heat
    • The Heat guard has been out for Miami’s first eight games and is still weeks away from a return. Andrew Wiggins and Norman Powell have been two of the Heat’s best scorers. With Bam Adebayo out as well, Wiggins and Powell will both have more opportunities to make an impact against the 3-5 Hornets.
    • TOP DFS PLAYS with Herro out: Andrew Wiggins ($6,900); Norman Powell ($6,700)
    • TOP PICK6 PICKS with Herro out: Andrew Wiggins More Than 19.5 Points; Norman Powell More Than 20.5 Points
  • Luguentz Dort | Shoulder | Oklahoma City Thunder
  • Luke Kennard | Illness | Atlanta Hawks
  • Kyshawn George | Illness | Washington Wizards
  • Collin Sexton | Neck | Charlotte Hornets
  • Terrence Shannon Jr. | Foot | Minnesota Timberwolves
