Questionable
Out
- Karl-Anthony Towns | Illness | New York Knicks
- Stephen Curry | Ankle | Golden State Warriors
- This season, Stephen Curry has missed nine games and is questionable with a left ankle sprain for the Warriors’ first contest of 2026. Draymond Green is already out for this contest, and if Curry cannot play as well, Jimmy Butler would need to step up. Brandin Podziemski is coming off a 19-point performance on Wednesday and would receive more opportunities without Curry.
- TOP DFS PLAYS if Curry is out: Jimmy Butler ($7,700); Brandin Podziemski ($4,900)
- TOP PICK6 PICKS if Curry is out: Jimmy Butler More Than 16.5 Points
- Trae Young | Quad | Atlanta Hawks
- After being out for over a month, Trae Young returned and played five games in December for the Hawks. But now Young is back on the injury report ahead of tonight’s matchup with the New York Knicks. Jalen Johnson is in the midst of an excellent season and would be Atlanta’s No. 1 option if Young is unable to play. Onyeka Okongwu and Nickeil Alexander-Walker are two other players who have been producing at a high level this season.
- TOP DFS PLAYS if Young is out: Jalen Johnson ($9,900); Onyeka Okongwu ($7,500); Nickeil Alexander-Walker ($6,900)
- TOP PICK6 PICKS if Young is out: Jalen Johnson More Than 21.5 Points; Nickeil Alexander-Walker More Than 2.5 3-Pointers Made
- Nikola Jokic | Knee | Denver Nuggets
- Nikola Jokic will miss his second consecutive game tonight due to a hyperextended left knee. With so many players injured for the Nuggets, Jamal Murray and Peyton Watson will be their two best players against the Cavaliers. Murray has scored at least 20 points in six straight games, while Watson is coming off an elite performance of 24 points and eight rebounds.
- TOP DFS PLAYS with Jokic out: Jamal Murray ($9,500); Peyton Watson ($6,100)
- TOP PICK6 PICKS with Jokic out: Peyton Watson More Than 14.5 Points
- Victor Wembanyama | Knee | San Antonio Spurs
- The San Antonio Spurs will be without Victor Wembanyama for their game against the Indiana Pacers. De’Aaron Fox, Stephon Castle, and Keldon Johnson are three players who will have more opportunities to make an impact with Wemby sidelined. Fox has been inconsistent at times, but has scored 26-plus points in three of his previous five contests.
- TOP DFS PLAYS with Wembanyama out: Stephon Castle ($7,400); De’Aaron Fox ($7,000); Keldon Johnson ($4,700)
