Out
- Ja Morant | Ankle | Memphis Grizzlies
- Cade Cunningham | Hip | Detroit Pistons
- Josh Giddey | Ankle | Chicago Bulls
- Giddey suffered a right ankle sprain in Saturday’s defeat to Cleveland, and was forced to miss his first game of the season on Monday due to the injury. If the triple-double machine is unable to suit up again Wednesday, Tre Jones will operate as the primary playmaker. Jones has scored at least 17 points in three straight contests.
- TOP DFS PLAYS if Giddey is out: Tre Jones ($6,400)
- TOP PICK6 PICKS if Giddey is out: Tre Jones More Than 13.5 Points
- Ausar Thompson | Ankle | Detroit Pistons
- Anthony Davis | Calf | Dallas Mavericks
- The Mavericks have been cautious with their superstar as he recovers from a left calf sprain. Davis has already missed six straight games, and if he’s unable to play once again tonight, Cooper Flagg and PJ Washington will continue to operate as the primary offensive options.
- TOP DFS PLAYS if Davis is out: Cooper Flagg ($6,900); PJ Washington ($7,000)
- TOP PICK6 PICKS if Davis is out: Cooper Flagg More Than 26.5 Points, Rebounds and Assists; PJ Washington More Than 15.5 Points
- Darius Garland | Toe | Cleveland Cavaliers
- Donovan Mitchell | Rest | Cleveland Cavaliers
- Mitchell is in the midst of an elite season, averaging 30.4 points per contest (fourth in the NBA), the most of his career. With Cleveland missing their leading scorer against the Heat, they will need De’Andre Hunter (19 PPG) and Jarrett Allen (15 PPG) to increase their volume on offense. The Cavs will be shorthanded tonight as they are without five players.
- TOP DFS PLAYS with Mitchell out: De’Andre Hunter ($6,500); Jarrett Allen ($6,300); Lonzo Ball ($4,500)
- TOP PICK6 PICKS with Mitchell out: De’Andre Hunter More Than 22.5 Points; Jarrett Allen More Than 27.5 Points + Rebounds
- Evan Mobley | Rest | Cleveland Cavaliers
- Alongside Mitchell, Cleveland is also resting Evan Mobley against Miami. The Cavs have won four of their last five contests but are coming off a two-point overtime loss against the Heat on Monday. Jarrett Allen is averaging 15 points and 7.7 rebounds per game this season, but he will have more offensive opportunities tonight.
- TOP DFS PLAYS with Mobley out: Jarrett Allen ($6,300); Sam Merrill ($4,500)
- TOP PICK6 PICKS with Mobley out: Jarrett Allen More Than 1.5 Blocks
- Jaylon Tyson | Concussion | Cleveland Cavaliers
- Jalen Green | Hamstring | Phoenix Suns
- Aaron Wiggins | Adductor | Oklahoma City Thunder
- Lu Dort | Trap | Oklahoma City Thunder
- Bradley Beal | Hip | Los Angeles Clippers
- LaMelo Ball | Ankle | Charlotte Hornets
- Tonight, LaMelo Ball is missing his fifth game of the season as he is dealing with an ankle injury. Since Ball is sidelined, Miles Bridges and Kon Knueppel will be the Hornets’ top two scorers. Charlotte has gone 1-3 without Ball. Bridges is having a great start to November, averaging 25.8 points, eight rebounds, and five assists per game. Knueppel has also totaled 19-plus points in four straight contests.
- TOP DFS PLAYS with Ball out: Miles Bridges ($8,600); Kon Knueppel ($6,600); Tre Mann ($5,300)
- TOP PICK6 PICKS with Ball out: Miles Bridges More Than 23.5 Points; Kon Knueppel More Than 19.5 Points
- Bam Adebayo | Toe | Miami Heat
- Bam Adebayo has missed Miami’s previous three games, but the Heat have won 3-0 without their star big man. In that span, Norman Powell, Andrew Wiggins, and Jaime Jaquez Jr. have excelled in Adebayo’s absence. When Powell attempts at least 15 field goals, he has proven himself to be an elite offensive player, having scored 25+ points in four games this season.
- TOP DFS PLAYS with Adebayo out: Jaime Jaquez Jr. ($7,300); Norman Powell ($7,200); Andrew Wiggins ($6,800)
- TOP PICK6 PICKS with Adebayo out: Jaime Jaquez Jr. More Than 15.5 Points; Norman Powell More Than 23.5 Points
- Kawhi Leonard | Ankle | Los Angeles Clippers
- The Clippers’ season hasn’t gone as planned, as they have started 3-7 and are currently on a five-game losing streak. Kawhi Leonard is missing his fifth consecutive game tonight against the Nuggets. While Leonard has been out, we have seen a more aggressive version of James Harden on offense, scoring at least 25 points in three of the last four contests. Ivica Zubac has recorded three straight double-doubles with two 20+ point performances.
- TOP DFS PLAYS with Leonard out: James Harden ($9,500); Ivica Zubac ($7,400); John Collins ($5,300)
- TOP PICK6 PICKS with Leonard out: James Harden More Than 23.5 Points; Ivica Zubac More Than 26.5 Points + Rebounds
- Giannis Antetokounmpo | Knee | Milwaukee Bucks
- Giannis is dealing with left knee patellar tendinopathy, an issue he’s battled for many years. While it doesn’t appear to be serious, as evident by his performance Monday night against Dallas. However, if Antetokounmpo is unable to suit up, it will cause a seismic shift in Milwaukee’s offensive hierarchy. Specifically, Ryan Rollins and Kyle Kuzma will see significantly expanded roles.
- TOP DFS PLAYS if Antetokounmpo is out: Ryan Rollins ($6,100); Kyle Kuzma ($5,200)
- TOP PICK6 PICKS if Antetokounmpo is out: Ryan Rollins More Than 14.5 Points
- Zach LaVine | Thigh | Sacramento Kings
- Zach Edey | Ankle | Memphis Grizzlies
- Isaiah Stewart | Ankle | Detroit Pistons
- Dereck Lively II | Knee | Dallas Mavericks
- Jalen Duren | Ankle | Detroit Pistons
- Malik Monk | Ankle | Sacramento Kings
