3 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.

3 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.

3 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.

3 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.

3 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.

3 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.

3 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
3 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.
--Andy Webb - RotoBallerSource: Milwaukee Bucks
3 days agoMilwaukee Bucks guard
Damian Lillard (concussion) is listed as probable ahead of Monday's game against the Houston Rockets. It looks like Lillard is on the verge of returning after missing each of the last three games while in concussion protocol.
Delon Wright has been starting with Lillard out, but he hasn't done much with the increased playing time. He's a solid defensive player, but doesn't bring much to the table on offense. That being said, Wright won't be worth streaming once Lillard returns to the court. Fantasy managers should check back before tip-off, but Lillard should be good to go for Monday.

3 days agoPhiladelphia 76ers center
Joel Embiid (illness) is currently listed as questionable ahead of Monday's game against the Miami Heat. The superstar center is back on the injury report after only playing two games this season. Luckily, this sounds like a minor issue, so it should only cost Embiid one game at most. If he sits,
Andre Drummond would move into the starting lineup while
Guerschon Yabusele would see additional playing time off the bench. Drummond would be an interesting streaming option without Embiid on the court. He's a strong rebounder and has been a decent contributor with the Sixers shorthanded lately.

3 days agoUtah Jazz center
Walker Kessler (hip) will remain on the shelf for Sunday's clash with the Clippers. He continues to nurse a hip problem. With him out, the stage is set for
John Collins to go off for another big game. He's notched 24.3 points, 9.0 rebounds, and 2.7 steals since replacing Kessler in the starting unit. Rookie
Kyle Filipowski has also stepped up recently and deserves attention from fantasy managers. He has averaged 13.7 points and 6.7 rebounds in the games Kessler has missed.

4 days agoNew York Knicks guard
Miles McBride (knee) will miss a second consecutive game on Sunday versus Brooklyn. McBride has been the first guy off the bench behind the Knicks' stacked starting five this season, averaging 10.7 points and 2.5 assists in 26.4 minutes. With him out of the rotation,
Cameron Payne and
Pacome Dadiet have a chance to see extra action, but neither player is a good fantasy option. The Knicks starters will likely be in for another busy night as well -- three of them logged 39-plus minutes against the Nets on Friday.
--Taavi Pailk - RotoBallerSource: Barbara Parker
4 days agoNew York Knicks center
Karl-Anthony Towns (knee) will play against Brooklyn on Sunday. A knee contusion kept him off the floor against the Nets on Friday, but Towns makes a quick return. The Knicks' new star center had 46 points against Chicago in his last outing and has hit the 30-point mark four times in his most recent five appearances. He's in a great position to do a lot of damage again on Sunday, as Brooklyn is missing
Nicolas Claxton (back) and hasn't done very well defensively against opposing centers.
Jericho Sims lands back on the bench with Towns' return.
--Taavi Pailk - RotoBallerSource: Barbara Parker
4 days agoHouston Rockets guard/forward
Amen Thompson (quadriceps) has received the all-clear to play on Sunday versus Chicago. He injured his quadriceps against the Clippers on Friday and was initially regarded as questionable for Sunday's action. Thompson's availability is great news for the Rockets, as the 21-year-old has played great this month, averaging 12.9 points, 7.8 rebounds, 2.5 assists, and 1.5 steals. Thompson continues to come off the bench for Houston but has plenty to offer for fantasy managers. He also finds himself in a nice fantasy matchup on Sunday, as the Bulls lead the league in pace.

4 days agoDallas Mavericks point guard
Luka Doncic (knee) will miss Sunday's matchup against Oklahoma City. The Mavericks superstar has been dealing with a knee injury all week and will give it some rest on Sunday.
Quentin Grimes will come into the starting unit as his replacement. Grimes is a good three-point shooter and amassed 15 points, four rebounds, five assists, and one steal in his first start of the campaign.
Jaden Hardy and
Spencer Dinwiddie might receive more action as well on Sunday, while
Kyrie Irving gets a usage boost with Doncic's absence.
