Milwaukee Bucks forward
Taurean Prince (neck) is expected to miss an extended period of time after being diagnosed with a herniated disc in his neck. Prince last appeared on Nov. 4 and was originally believed to be recovering from a neck sprain. Prince has appeared in eight games this season, averaging 6.1 points and 1.6 rebounds over 21.1 minutes per game. Prince has been locked in from deep this season, shooting 42.9% from three. Several players could benefit from increased minutes, including
Kyle Kuzma,
Bobby Portis, and
Amir Coffey.

Dallas Mavericks guard
Dante Exum (right knee) will remain sidelined for Monday's matchup against the Milwaukee Bucks due to injury management. The veteran guard has yet to play this season, and his absence continues to thin out Dallas' backcourt depth. With
Kyrie Irving still out, expect
Max Christie and
Brandon Williams to maintain steady minutes, with
D'Angelo Russell leading the playmaking and rookie
Cooper Flagg occasionally running the offense. Exum's fantasy relevance remains minimal until he returns, but he's worth monitoring in very deep leagues given his efficiency and defensive versatility. Last season, he averaged 8.7 points, 2.8 assists, and shot 43 percent from three in limited minutes. Fantasy managers in standard formats should look elsewhere for short-term production while Exum's return timeline remains unclear.

Chicago Bulls forward
Patrick Williams (left finger sprain) is listed as probable for Monday's matchup against the San Antonio Spurs. The 24-year-old hasn't missed a game this season but continues to struggle with consistency, making him difficult to trust in most fantasy formats. Williams is averaging 8.6 points, 3.0 rebounds, 1.8 assists, and under one steal per game while shooting 45 percent from the field and 46 percent from deep. Despite decent efficiency, his low usage and lack of steady production limit his fantasy impact. He's best left for managers in very deep leagues looking for occasional threes and defensive stats from the end of their bench.

Brooklyn Nets center
Day'Ron Sharpe (hamstring) exited Sunday's loss to the New York Knicks and was ruled out for the remainder with left-hamstring tightness after 12 minutes, finishing with 10 points, six rebounds, one assist, one steal, and one block. For fantasy managers, he should be considered day-to-day, though hamstring issues can easily linger.
Noah Clowney, who has started the last four games alongside
Nicolas Claxton, would likely see an uptick in workload if Sharpe misses time.
E.J. Liddell could also pick up some minutes off the bench, but he remains a watchlist option only, having yet to show meaningful fantasy impact despite brief appearances in recent games. Sharpe had been quietly productive in limited minutes this season, averaging 6.7 points and 5.3 rebounds on 65 percent shooting, making him worth holding in deeper leagues while awaiting an official update.

Golden State Warriors guard
Stephen Curry (illness) is expected to return Tuesday against the Oklahoma City Thunder, according to head coach Steve Kerr. Curry has missed the past three games due to a general illness, and the Warriors dropped two of those contests, underscoring just how vital he remains to their offense. Before his absence, the two-time MVP was averaging 26.8 points, 4.3 assists, and 3.6 rebounds while shooting 39 percent from deep and 95 percent from the line. His return should immediately lift the team's scoring and spacing, benefiting teammates like
Jonathan Kuminga and
Jimmy Butler III, who have carried the offensive load recently. Fantasy managers should confidently reinsert Curry into all lineups, as he remains a top-tier 9-cat option capable of elite efficiency and volume across multiple categories.

Indiana Pacers guard
T.J. McConnell (hamstring) remains sidelined but continues to ramp up toward his season debut, according to coach Rick Carlisle. The veteran has been out since straining his hamstring in early October, and recent workouts indicate he's getting close to returning. His presence would be a welcome boost for an injury-hit Pacers squad still missing
Bennedict Mathurin (foot),
Obi Toppin (foot),
Johnny Furphy (ankle), and
Quenton Jackson (hamstring). McConnell's steady playmaking and defensive activity should immediately help stabilize Indiana's second unit. Last season, he averaged 9.1 points, 4.4 assists, and 1.1 steals in under 18 minutes per game while shooting 52 percent from the field. Fantasy managers in deeper 9-cat formats should consider stashing him now, as his efficiency and steals upside can quietly provide category-winning value once he's back.

Atlanta Hawks guard
Luke Kennard (illness) will hop back into the lineup on Monday against the Los Angeles Clippers. His name has been removed from the injury report after Kennard missed two contests due to illness. The Hawks are currently dealing with several injury issues, which could lead to Kennard playing a significant role in the game. He may even make his first start of the season if
Jalen Johnson (quadriceps) and
Nickeil Alexander-Walker (back) are unable to play against the Clippers.

Cleveland Cavaliers forward/center
Larry Nance Jr. (knee) is considered questionable for Monday's game against the Miami Heat. A knee problem could keep Nance Jr. out for a second consecutive game. Working as a reserve, Nance Jr. has contributed 4.6 points and 3.7 rebounds in 16.7 minutes this season. If he can't play on Monday,
Dean Wade may receive more work in the Cavaliers frontcourt. Although Wade is a versatile player, his efforts typically do not translate well into fantasy basketball.

November 9, 2025
Dallas Mavericks center
Dereck Lively II (knee) will likely sit out an eighth consecutive game on Monday against the Milwaukee Bucks after the team listed him as doubtful on the injury report. Both
Anthony Davis (calf) and
Daniel Gafford (ankle) have been tagged as questionable for the game, meaning the Mavericks frontcourt could be very shorthanded. The injury issues at the number five position have allowed rookie
Moussa Cisse to enter the rotation, and he's somebody to monitor if the regular bigs are out for Dallas. The 23-year-old finished Saturday's win over the Washington Wizards with five points, nine rebounds, and three blocks in 19 minutes.

November 9, 2025
Dallas Mavericks center
Daniel Gafford (ankle) has been listed as questionable on the injury report for Monday's tilt against the Milwaukee Bucks. The big man hurt his right ankle in a game against the Memphis Grizzlies on Friday. Despite the injury, Gafford played 19 minutes in Saturday's win over the Washington Wizards. However, he might have to sit out on Monday night due to the issue.
Anthony Davis (calf) is questionable, and
Dereck Lively II (knee) is doubtful for Monday's game, so we could see a lot of
Dwight Powell and
Moussa Cisse in the Dallas frontcourt.

New Orleans Pelicans center
Yves Missi (illness) continues to carry a questionable tag on the injury report and may remain out for a fourth consecutive game on Monday against the Phoenix Suns. Missi was recently taken out by an illness, giving
Kevon Looney the starting center role in New Orleans. The veteran has averaged 4.3 points and 5.3 rebounds in the first unit. Missi's absence has also opened up additional playing opportunities for
Derik Queen, who has been much more productive compared to Looney and should draw fantasy attention. Queen has averaged 12.0 points, 6.7 rebounds, 5.3 assists, and 2.3 steals since Missi's exit from the lineup.

Atlanta Hawks guard/forward
Nickeil Alexander-Walker (back) is considered questionable for Monday's game against the Los Angeles Clippers. Due to a back issue, Alexander-Walker was forced to drop out of the lineup for Saturday's matchup against the Los Angeles Lakers, and he may remain out on Monday night. If he can't return,
Keaton Wallace will likely make a second consecutive start. He shot only 5-for-15 from the field against the Lakers, but overall, he did a decent job, amassing 14 points, two rebounds, seven assists, and one steal in 36 minutes.
--Taavi PailkSource: NBA Injury Report
November 9, 2025
Atlanta Hawks forward/center
Kristaps Porzingis (rest) will re-enter the lineup on Monday against the Los Angeles Clippers. Porzingis missed Saturday's win over the Los Angeles Lakers for rest purposes. In his most recent outings, Porzingis has shot horribly, but his average numbers remain solid at 17.6 points, 6.3 rebounds, 3.3 assists, and 1.3 blocks. He's Atlanta's third-highest scorer behind
Jalen Johnson (quadriceps) and
Trae Young (knee). Both players are currently nursing injuries, which could result in a huge offensive role for Porzingis on Monday. Especially with the team's fourth-highest scorer
Nickeil Alexander-Walker (back) also iffy for the contest.

November 9, 2025
Atlanta Hawks forward
Jalen Johnson (quadriceps) may have to skip a second consecutive game on Monday versus the Los Angeles Clippers, as the team has listed him as questionable on the injury report. Johnson sustained a right quadriceps contusion earlier this week and missed his second game of the season on Saturday against the Los Angeles Lakers. With
Trae Young (knee) on the shelf, Johnson has been the leading man on offense for the Hawks, averaging 20.6 points and 4.9 assists with 8.4 rebounds.
Mouhamed Gueye had an impressive outing as a starter on Saturday with 21 points, seven rebounds, seven assists, and two steals. He may get another chance to shine on Monday if Johnson remains out.

November 9, 2025
Los Angeles Clippers forward
Kawhi Leonard (ankle) will remain sidelined for Monday's contest against the Atlanta Hawks and will miss "the next few games," according to head coach Tyronn Lue. Monday's matchup will mark Leonard's fourth consecutive absence due to a right ankle sprain. According to Lue, medical tests indicate the injury is unlikely to be a long-term problem for the veteran star. Health issues have often kept Leonard back, but he's been highly productive when on the court. This season, Leonard has averaged 24.3 points, 5.7 rebounds, 3.5 assists, and 2.5 steals, shooting 50.5 percent from the field.
Kris Dunn has made his first three starts of the season during Leonard's absence, but his numbers have been fairly underwhelming.
