Miami Heat guard/forward
Norman Powell (groin) is listed as probable for Wednesday's clash against the Milwaukee Bucks, indicating that he is on track to return to the lineup. A groin issue kept Powell off the floor on Monday night against the Dallas Mavericks. Powell's move to Miami has worked out superbly for him, as the 32-year-old is averaging a career-high 25.4 points, 3.9 rebounds, 2.4 assists, and 1.3 steals. However, it remains to be seen how well Powell meshes with
Tyler Herro, who made his season debut against Dallas, scoring 24 points in 29 minutes.

Portland Trail Blazers guard/forward
Shaedon Sharpe (calf) is listed as questionable on the injury report ahead of Wednesday's contest against the San Antonio Spurs. He has been sidelined for four games due to a right calf strain.
Jrue Holiday (calf) recently also landed on the shelf, opening the door for
Sidy Cissoko to join the starting unit. The 21-year-old has been mediocre as a starter, averaging 7.5 points, 2.5 rebounds, and 1.8 assists in 25.0 minutes per game. Cissoko scored half of his 30 points as a starter on Friday against the Golden State Warriors.

Milwaukee Bucks forward/center
Giannis Antetokounmpo (groin) is considered questionable for Wednesday's matchup against the Miami Heat. He has been on the shelf for a week with a left groin strain but is nearing his return. Initially, Antetokounmpo was ruled out for 1-2 weeks.
Bobby Portis and
Jericho Sims have shared starts during Antetokounmpo's three-game absence. Portis was more effective coming off the bench on Monday against the Portland Trail Blazers, so Bucks head coach Doc Rivers may give Sims a second consecutive start on Wednesday if Antetokounmpo doesn't return. However, Sims played only 11 minutes against Portland and hasn't been impactful from a fantasy perspective.

Oklahoma City Thunder guard
Shai Gilgeous-Alexander (illness) may miss his first game of the season on Wednesday against the Minnesota Timberwolves, as the team has listed him as questionable on the injury report. The Canadian star is battling an illness, and his exit from the lineup could give
Ajay Mitchell an opportunity to start. Mitchell has been one of the most productive bench players in the league this season, but a starting role would provide his fantasy value with an additional bump. In his previous five starts this season, Mitchell has averaged 18.2 points, 4.2 rebounds, 4.4 assists, and 2.4 steals.

Philadelphia 76ers forward
Trendon Watford (adductor) will not return to Tuesday's NBA Cup clash with the Orlando Magic. With Philly down
Joel Embiid (knee),
Kelly Oubre Jr. (knee),
Paul George (ankle) and
VJ Edgecombe (calf), Watford was in line for extra action. Unfortunately, he suffered a left adductor strain near the end of the first half, requiring assistance off the floor. Watford would go on to finish with eight points and one rebound in 11 minutes. While it's far too early to speculate, it appears there's a good chance he'll miss extended time, starting with Friday's game versus the Brooklyn Nets, his former team. Fantasy managers could see more minutes from
Justin Edwards and
Jared McCain, although their stock will fall once George, Edgecombe, Embiid, or Oubre are back in the lineup.

Washington Wizards forward
Corey Kispert (thumb) exited Tuesday's NBA Cup win over the Atlanta Hawks. He did not return. The 26-year-old was well on his way to having his best game of the 2025 campaign before a right thumb injury ended his night after 24 minutes. He'd go on to finish with 19 points, three steals, and one block while shooting 4-for-8 from behind the three-point line. Kispert will presumably undergo further testing heading into Friday's matchup with the Indiana Pacers. If he ends up missing time,
Justin Champagnie and
Cam Whitmore could see more work, with one potentially entering the starting lineup.

Washington Wizards forward/center
Marvin Bagley III (hip) won't play on Tuesday versus the Hawks, marking his third-straight absence. The former Duke Blue Devil has averaged only 7.6 points and 4.4 rebounds in 15.8 minutes per contest this season, so there aren't very many fantasy managers awaiting his return. While there might be streaming opportunities down the line if
Alexandre Sarr misses time, Bagley currently isn't worth rostering in most fantasy setups. With that said, his absence will still open the door for more minutes from
Tristan Vukcevic, who is coming off a 12-point, eight-rebound, two-block, two-steal showing in Saturday's loss to the Chicago Bulls.

November 25, 2025
Atlanta Hawks guard
Luke Kennard (hip) is available for Tuesday's NBA Cup clash with the Washington Wizards after missing Sunday's win over the Charlotte Hornets. The 29-year-old has seen steady minutes for Atlanta this season (22.1 minutes per contest). He is also averaging 8.1 points and 44.2% shooting from behind the arc. However, despite a consistent role, Kennard is streaky on the offensive end, posting double-digit scoring in four of his nine appearances in November, giving him little fantasy upside outside of his efficiency from deep.

Esfandiar Baraheni of The Athletic reports that Toronto Raptors forward
RJ Barrett (knee) won't play on Wednesday against Indiana. The former Knick sprained his left knee in Sunday's victory over the Brooklyn Nets and will miss his second straight game tomorrow evening. While Barrett is sidelined,
Gradey Dick and
Jamal Shead may benefit the most from extra playing time. However, both are risky fantasy picks since
Brandon Ingram,
Scottie Barnes, and
Immanuel Quickley will likely absorb most of the available minutes during Barrett's absence.

New York Knicks guard/forward
Landry Shamet (shoulder) will miss Wednesday's meeting with the Charlotte Hornets. Shament will be out for the second game due to a sprained right shoulder. The 28-year-old has averaged 9.2 points with 1.6 rebounds and 1.6 assists over his last five outings while shooting 47.2 percent from the field and 44.0 percent from beyond the arc. His extended absence will likely continue to lead to
Miles McBride and
Jordan Clarkson seeing extra minutes.

November 25, 2025
According to Anthony Chiang of the Miami Herald, Miami Heat forward
Nikola Jovic (hip) is listed as questionable for Wednesday's matchup with the Milwaukee Bucks. Jovic has missed four straight games due to a hip impingement.
Jaime Jaquez Jr. (hip),
Andrew Wiggins (hip), and
Dru Smith (hip) are also considered questionable for tomorrow evening's contest.
Simone Fontecchio and
Pelle Larsson both carry marginal fantasy value, but with extra minutes, they could offer solid fantasy production on Wednesday night if Jovic is unable to suit up.

November 25, 2025
According to Law Murray of The Athletic, Los Angeles Clippers guard/forward
Bogdan Bogdanovic (hip) is listed as questionable for Tuesday's matchup with the Los Angeles Lakers. Due to a left hip contusion, the 33-year-old sharpshooter is at risk of missing his third consecutive contest. With
Bradley Beal (hip) sidelined for the rest of the season, Bogdanovic has had a much larger role in the Clippers' rotation lately, averaging 25.7 minutes per contest. If he is unable to suit up, fantasy managers should expect rookie
Kobe Sanders to take on extra minutes this evening.
--Andrew LennoxSource: Law Murray
November 25, 2025
Golden State Warriors forward/center
Draymond Green (foot) will be questionable for Wednesday night's matchup against the Rockets, according to coach Steve Kerr. Green has missed two of the last three games and is currently working through a right mid-foot sprain. After he practiced on Tuesday, Kerr said Green is "definitely trending upward," which suggests he has a good chance to return to action on Wednesday. In his 16 games, he's averaging 8.1 points, 5.8 rebounds, 5.8 assists, and 28.7 minutes per game. His return would likely push
Quinten Post back to the bench.

Orlando Magic center
Goga Bitadze (ankle) was added to the injury report for Tuesday's contest against the 76ers as questionable with ankle soreness. Bitadze has played 16.8 minutes per game off the bench in his 17 games this season, chipping in 6.2 points, 5.1 rebounds, 1.5 assists, and 1.2 blocks per game. If he's out on Tuesday,
Orlando Robinson and
Jonathan Isaac would likely handle the backup center role behind
Wendell Carter Jr.--Zach ThompsonSource: NBA Injury Report

Dallas Mavericks center
Dereck Lively II (foot) will miss at least the next three games, since he is currently being evaluated for swelling and discomfort in his right foot. He will not be available for the team's three-game road trip against the Lakers, Clippers, and Nuggets, and a further timeline will then be given for his return. Lively has played four of the Mavs' last seven games but just seven of their 19 games this season. When available, he has averaged 4.3 points, 5.3 rebounds, 1.9 assists, and 16.4 minutes. per game. While he's out,
Daniel Gafford is expected to continue to start for the Mavs, while
Dwight Powell and rookie
Moussa Cisse will get playing time off the bench.
