6 days agoPhiladelphia 76ers guard
Tyrese Maxey (hamstring) has been out since November 6 when he strained his hamstring against the Los Angeles Clippers. According to Shams Charania, the star combo guard could return as early as Wednesday against the Memphis Grizzlies. He said there was "optimism" around Maxey's return, so nothing official just yet. Fantasy managers will want to stay tuned for the injury report on Tuesday night and Wednesday morning. In the meantime,
Jared McCain will see heavy minutes with
Kyle Lowry alongside him in the starting lineup.

6 days agoDetroit Pistons guard/forward
Tim Hardaway Jr. (head) is listed as probable for the team's Monday night game against the Chicago Bulls. The veteran shooter hasn't played since November 12 when he was hit in the head and suffered a laceration. He seems primed to take back his starting role on the team without any restrictions. This likely means that
Malik Beasley will head back to the bench, but he still has received around 28 minutes per contest, so both could be viable in deeper leagues.

6 days agoChicago Bulls forward
Patrick Williams (foot) is dealing with foot soreness heading into the Monday night matchup against the Detroit Pistons but has been listed as probable. The 23-year-old hasn't been as efficient this year compared to the rest of his career but has increased a handful of his numbers so far. Through 14 games, Williams averages 10.1 points, 5.0 rebounds, 2.4 assists, 1.1 steals, and 1.9 threes per game. He's a better asset in deeper leagues but has started to make a case for 12-team leagues recently.

6 days agoPhiladelphia 76ers center
Adem Bona has been recalled from the team's G League affiliate and is officially available to play on Monday against the Miami Heat. He was originally sent down earlier Monday morning, but with
Joel Embiid (illness) getting downgraded to doubtful, the team wanted to make sure they had another big man on the depth chart. Bona has usually come into the game during garbage time, so he's not much of a fantasy streamer at this time.

6 days agoBoston Celtics center
Kristaps Porzingis (foot) is trending in the right direction during his recovery from foot surgery. According to Jared Weiss, the big man will practice with the team's G League affiliate, the Maine Red Claws, along with
Xavier Tillman Sr. Porzingis hasn't appeared in a game yet this season with his last game played coming in last year's NBA Finals.
Al Horford,
Neemias Queta, and
Luke Kornet will continue to rotate through the center minutes until Porzingis can get back on the court.

6 days agoGolden State Warriors guard
Lindy Waters III (knee) received the starting nod on Friday and unfortunately suffered a hyperextended left knee. Now, he's on the injury report as questionable for the team's Monday night matchup against the Los Angeles Clippers. If he's able to suit up, he may get the start again since
De'Anthony Melton (knee) remains sidelined. On the flip side,
Brandin Podziemski and
Buddy Hield would likely see heavy minutes with one of them moving into the starting lineup if he can't give it a go.

6 days agoGolden State Warriors guard
De'Anthony Melton (knee) will miss his seventh game of the season, this time with an ACL sprain instead of the back issues he's been facing periodically. The two-way combo guard was unable to play in their last game against the Memphis Grizzlies as well.
Buddy Hield and
Brandin Podziemski will see big minutes yet again while
Lindy Waters III (knee) could be in the starting lineup again if he's upgraded from questionable.
--Alex Fischbein - RotoBallerSource: NBA Injury Report
6 days agoPhiladelphia 76ers center
Joel Embiid (illness) is trending towards missing his 10th game of the season after being downgraded from questionable to doubtful. The big man is dealing with an illness this time around, which landed him on the injury report on Sunday afternoon.
Tyrese Maxey (hamstring) remains sidelined, but
Paul George isn't on the injury report for this contest. As a result,
Andre Drummond will get the starting nod again with
Guerschon Yabusele expected to get plenty of minutes as well.

6 days agoOrlando Magic center
Wendell Carter Jr. (foot) is doubtful for Monday's contest against the Phoenix Suns. The doubtful tag may suggest he's moving in the right direction. However, it appears the 25-year-old will miss his eighth-straight game on Monday night. If that's the case,
Goga Bitadze will presumably remain with the first five, with the 2019 No. 18 overall pick averaging 9.3 points, 8.6 rebounds, and 1.7 blocks in seven starts during the 2024-25 campaign.

6 days agoSacramento Kings forward
DeMar DeRozan (back) remains out for Monday's meeting with the Hawks. The 35-year-old is dealing with a back injury, so he'll miss his third-straight contest on Monday night. Under normal circumstances, the Kings would rely mostly on
Domantas Sabonis (back) and
De'Aaron Fox to pick up the slack. However, with Sabonis doubtful, Fox, who had 49 points in Saturday's win over the Jazz, should do most of the heavy lifting on the offensive end. On the other hand, guys like Kevin Hunter,
Trey Lyles, and
Keegan Murray may also be in line for added production.

6 days agoSacramento Kings forward/center
Domantas Sabonis (back) is expected to miss Monday's game against the Atlanta Hawks. The 28-year-old played all 82 regular-season games in 2023-24. However, he's in line to miss his second-consecutive contest because of back tightness. With
DeMar DeRozan (back) already ruled out, the Kings may need to rely on
De'Aaron Fox, who had 49 points in Saturday's win over Utah, for most of the team's production. But as far as Sabonis' spot in the rotation is concerned,
Trey Lyles would presumably remain in the starting lineup, with the 2015 No. 12 overall pick dropping 17 points on the Jazz.

6 days agoMemphis Grizzlies center
Zach Edey (ankle) exited Sunday's win over the Denver Nuggets. With
Nikola Jokic (personal) out, it was a perfect opportunity for Memphis to take advance. Unfortunately, the rookie lasted only 14 minutes in this one, exiting because of a sprained left ankle and would finish the contest with seven points, seven rebounds, and two blocks. Edey has played well enough in his inaugural year, averaging 11.5 points and 6.9 rebounds. He's also shot 66.7% from behind the arc. However, Edey's health was a big concern for fantasy managers heading into the 2024-25 campaign, so the team may need to play if safe when the Nuggets and Grizzlies do it again on Tuesday night. If the 22-year-old isn't out there,
Jay Huff will likely see more minutes behind
Brandon Clarke and be worth starting in any fantasy format.

7 days agoGolden State Warriors center
Kevon Looney (illness) is listed as questionable ahead of Monday's game against the Los Angeles Clippers. The big man hasn't been a huge part of the rotation as he's only averaging 15 minutes per game. However, Looney is averaging 8.4 rebounds per game, so his rebounding would be hard to replace if he sits out.
Trayce Jackson-Davis figures to see more playing time if Looney is unable to go. Jackson-Davis hasn't been a great fantasy option, but would certainly have more streaming appeal if he gets additional playing time.

7 days agoGolden State Warriors guard
Stephen Curry (knee) is listed as questionable ahead of Monday's game against the Los Angeles Clippers. The superstar guard is reportedly dealing with left knee inflammation, which shouldn't sideline him for long. He missed three games towards the end of October due to an ankle issue. The Warriors are already low on depth at the guard spot, so losing Curry would certainly hurt.
Buddy Hield should see additional playing time and is already worth rostering in most formats.
Brandin Podziemski would probably see more minutes as well, but he isn't as appealing as Hield. Podziemski did finish with 11 points, seven rebounds, and five assists during his last game, but he's more of a boom-or-bust option.
--Andy Webb - RotoBallerSource: NBA Injury Report
7 days agoMilwaukee Bucks forward
Giannis Antetokounmpo (knee) is listed as probable ahead of Monday's game against the Houston Rockets. The superstar forward continues to appear on the injury report, but he has only missed one game this season. Fantasy managers should expect to have Antetokounmpo unless he suffers a setback during warmups. If he sits,
Bobby Portis would see an increased role and would have strong streaming appeal without the two-time MVP on the court.
