This page will be updated after the 1:30 p.m. ET and 5:30 p.m. ET injury reports, and you can confirm additional updates by checking the time stamp. When a player has a status change, they will now be bolded in the injuries and notes section.

Pratt’s Play of the Day (November 12)
Nickeil Alexander-Walker
Alexander-Walker did his best impression of his cousin Shai on Wednesday, racking up a career-high 33 points and 10 rebounds en route to a huge 61.0 DKFP performance. NAW has seen a spike in usage rate lately, averaging 25.7% over his last four contests. After a streak of cold games, Alexander-Walker finally turned that usage into significant production and he should continue to do so against the Nets. There’s plenty of upside for the Virginia Tech product at $6,000.
