Jeff Green Moves Into Starting Five
Jan 16, 2025, 8:52 PM ET
Houston Rockets forward Jeff Green will move into the starting five ahead of Thursday's game against the Sacramento Kings. The veteran forward will shift into the starting unit with Fred VanVleet (personal) unavailable for this game. The absence of Vanvleet means that Amen Thompson will likely take over as the primary ball handler. Green hasn't seen a consistent role in the rotation this season, but he did play 20 minutes during their last contest. He doesn't really bring enough to the table at this point in his career to be considered a reliable fantasy option.--Andy WebbSource: Danielle LernerComments · Join ChatOpen App

Scottie Barnes Ruled Out for Third Straight Game

Nov 10, 2026, 9:45 PM ET
Toronto Raptors forward/center Scottie Barnes (groin) has been ruled out for Wednesday's matchup with the Boston Celtics, marking his third straight absence. Barnes hasn't played since Nov. 4 against Denver and was off to a strong start before the injury, averaging 23.5 points, 7.6 rebounds, 5.1 assists, and 2.3 steals through eight games. With Kawhi Leonard (knee) also sidelined, RJ Barrett should remain Toronto's primary scoring option. The Raptors play again Thursday in Philadelphia, giving Barnes another chance to return if his groin responds well enough.--Brian DailisanSource: Blake Murphy
Brandon Williams Sidelined at Least One Week

Nov 10, 2026, 9:41 PM ET
Golden State Warriors guard Brandon Williams (hamstring) will miss at least one week after an MRI revealed a mild left hamstring strain. Williams exited Monday's 138-87 win over New Orleans in the first quarter and will be re-evaluated next week. The 26-year-old has been productive off the bench in his first season with Golden State, averaging 10.4 points and 2.3 assists in 16.1 minutes across 10 games. His absence opens more backcourt work on the Warriors' five-game road trip, with De'Anthony Melton and LJ Cryer both candidates for added minutes after Cryer scored 10 points in 20 minutes Monday.--Brian DailisanSource: Anthony Slater
Trendon Watford Sidelined Again Wednesday

Nov 10, 2026, 9:33 PM ET
New Orleans Pelicans forward Trendon Watford (ankle) has been ruled out for Wednesday's matchup with the Brooklyn Nets due to a right ankle sprain. It will be his second straight absence after he recorded five points and three rebounds in 17 minutes Sunday against the Clippers. Watford has provided steady minutes off the bench in his first season with New Orleans, including a season-high 12 points against Minnesota on Friday. His absence doesn't carry much fantasy weight by itself, but with Yves Missi (knee) also sidelined, DeAndre Jordan could work his way back into the frontcourt rotation.--Brian DailisanSource: Rod Walker

Yves Missi Set to Miss 10th Straight Game

Nov 10, 2026, 9:08 PM ET
New Orleans Pelicans center Yves Missi (knee) has been ruled out for Wednesday's matchup with the Brooklyn Nets due to a left knee contusion and bone bruise. It will be his 10th straight absence since he injured his knee on Oct. 23 against Utah. The 22-year-old opened the season with 13 points, 14 rebounds, five assists, two steals, and three blocks against Indiana but has barely built on it. Karlo Matkovic has taken on a larger role in Missi's absence and scored 18 points against Minnesota on Friday, making him the more useful short-term fantasy option until Missi gets closer to returning.--Brian DailisanSource: Rod Walker
Trey Murphy III Probable for Wednesday Against Brooklyn

Nov 10, 2026, 8:42 PM ET
New Orleans Pelicans guard/forward Trey Murphy III (knee) is probable for Wednesday's matchup with the Brooklyn Nets due to bilateral patellar tendinopathy, according to Rod Walker of NOLA.com. Murphy sat out Monday against Golden State on the second night of a back-to-back after scoring 26 points on 9-for-17 shooting Sunday versus the Clippers. The 26-year-old is averaging 15.6 points, 4.8 rebounds, and 3.6 assists this season. If Murphy returns as expected, Saddiq Bey is likely to move back to the bench, though he should still hold a meaningful role in the Pelicans' rotation.--Brian DailisanSource: Rod Walker
Tristan da Silva Ruled Out Tuesday at Sacramento

Nov 10, 2026, 8:34 PM ET
Orlando Magic forward Tristan da Silva (calf) has been ruled out for Tuesday's matchup with the Sacramento Kings due to a left calf strain, according to Jason Beede of the Orlando Sentinel. The 25-year-old had been one of Orlando's more reliable scorers, averaging 15.1 points, 3.7 rebounds, and 1.7 assists in 30.6 minutes through nine games. With Paolo Banchero (ankle) and Jalen Suggs (knee) also sidelined, Franz Wagner and Anthony Black should continue to carry a heavy offensive load. Black is coming off 18 points, eight rebounds, and six assists against Golden State. Orlando plays again Wednesday at Utah, leaving da Silva's status worth watching on the back-to-back.--Brian DailisanSource: Jason Beede
Kawhi Leonard Ruled Out for at Least Another Week

Nov 10, 2026, 8:25 PM ET
Toronto Raptors guard/forward Kawhi Leonard (knee) will remain sidelined for at least another week as he continues reconditioning following treatment for left knee swelling. Leonard hasn't played since Oct. 23 and has appeared in only two games this season, averaging 19.5 points, 7.5 rebounds, and 3.5 steals despite shooting 32.4% from the field. Toronto plans to provide another update next week, but Leonard will need multiple practices before returning to game action. Ja'Kobe Walter should remain in the starting five in the meantime and is averaging 11.6 points across eight starts without Leonard.--Brian DailisanSource: Marc Stein
Giannis Antetokounmpo Set to Play Tuesday

Nov 10, 2026, 8:16 PM ET
Miami Heat forward/center Giannis Antetokounmpo (wrist) is available for Tuesday's matchup with the Utah Jazz after briefly being downgraded to questionable, according to Eric Nehm. The two-time MVP has continued to play through a right wrist sprain and enters Tuesday with seven straight double-doubles. Antetokounmpo is averaging 27.5 points, 12.8 rebounds, and 5.3 assists through 10 games. With Jaren Jackson Jr. (knee) sidelined for Utah, Antetokounmpo should continue to see favorable opportunities around the rim. Miami is off until Friday after Tuesday's game, giving him a couple of days to rest the wrist.--Brian DailisanSource: Eric Nehm

Sacramento Kings forward Keegan Murray (wrist) is available for Tuesday's matchup against the Orlando Magic despite dealing with right wrist soreness. Murray returned Sunday from a seven-game absence due to left ankle capsulitis, coming off the bench against Miami to record 10 points, two assists, two steals, and one block across 23 minutes. The 26-year-old is still searching for his shooting touch, going 0-for-10 from three-point range through three games this campaign. Precious Achiuwa could see additional frontcourt minutes if Murray experiences any setbacks.--Andrew LennoxSource: NBA Injury Report

Sacramento Kings forward/center Domantas Sabonis (knee) has been upgraded to available for Tuesday's matchup against the Orlando Magic. Sabonis will return after missing Sunday's loss to Miami due to left knee soreness. The 30-year-old is averaging 15.3 points, 14.6 rebounds, and 6.0 assists through nine games. Precious Achiuwa grabbed 14 rebounds in 36 minutes Sunday, while Dylan Cardwell started at center. Both could see reduced roles with Sabonis back in action.--Andrew LennoxSource: NBA Injury Report

The 26-year-old has missed just one game this season, averaging 21.0 points, 5.3 rebounds, 2.7 assists, and 2.2 steals in 33.0 minutes through 10 appearances.

Phoenix Suns guard Jordan Goodwin (calf) is available to play in Tuesday's matchup against the Los Angeles Clippers. Goodwin is set to return after missing four consecutive contests due to right calf soreness. The 28-year-old is averaging 7.8 points, 3.4 rebounds, and 2.6 assists across 18.6 minutes per contest in five appearances. Collin Gillespie could see his role reduced with Goodwin back in the mix.--Andrew LennoxSource: NBA Injury Report
Lauri Markkanen Sidelined on Tuesday
Andrew Lennox
Nov 10, 2026, 3:20 PM ET
Utah Jazz forward Lauri Markkanen (wrist) is unavailable for Tuesday's matchup against the Miami Heat due to a right wrist sprain. Markkanen missed Sunday's loss to Minnesota after aggravating the same wrist issue that first surfaced Oct. 26 against Memphis. Before sitting out, the 29-year-old recorded 24 points, eight rebounds, and one assist while knocking down eight three-pointers during Friday's loss to Dallas. Josh Green started in his place Sunday and could start again with Markkanen sidelined, while Brice Sensabaugh and Josh Okogie could see extended minutes. Utah hosts Orlando on Wednesday, so fantasy managers should monitor Markkanen's status for the second half of the back-to-back.--Andrew LennoxSource: Utah Jazz

Utah Jazz forward Lauri Markkanen (wrist) is questionable for Tuesday's matchup with the Miami Heat due to a right wrist sprain. Markkanen missed Sunday's loss to Minnesota after aggravating the same wrist issue that first surfaced Oct. 26 against Memphis. Before sitting out, the 29-year-old scored 24 points with eight rebounds and eight three-pointers Friday in Dallas. Josh Green started in his place Sunday and could remain with the first unit if Markkanen sits again, while Brice Sensabaugh and Josh Okogie would also be candidates for extra minutes. Utah hosts Orlando on Wednesday, so Markkanen's status is worth tracking closely on the back-to-back.--Brian DailisanSource: NBA Injury Report
