Dallas Mavericks center
Dereck Lively II (knee) is questionable for Wednesday against the Suns after missing eight straight games. He opened the season as the team's starting center in the first three contests, averaging 5.3 points, 5.0 rebounds, 3.0 assists, and 1.3 blocks in 17 minutes while shooting 77.8 percent from the field. If he's cleared, expect a low-usage rim runner who boosts field-goal percentage, blocks, and put-backs, though his workload may sit under 20 minutes as Dallas ramps him up. If he sits,
Daniel Gafford remains the preferred streamer for rebounds, FG%, and blocks, with
Dwight Powell and
Moussa Cisse filling spot minutes. With
Kyrie Irving (knee) still out and
Anthony Davis (calf) questionable,
Cooper Flagg and
P.J. Washington should continue to handle more touches, making Lively a category specialist rather than a must-start on his first game back.

Washington Wizards guard
Bilal Coulibaly (calf) will remain sidelined Wednesday against the Rockets due to a calf contusion, marking his fourth straight missed game since re-injuring it on Nov. 5. The third-year wing had shown encouraging all-around growth before the setback, averaging 10.5 points, 4.8 rebounds, 3.3 assists, 1.0 steal, 1.0 block, and 1.3 threes in just under 24 minutes per game. In his absence,
CJ McCollum has rediscovered his rhythm after an early-season slump, averaging 30.7 points and 6.0 assists over his last three contests while shooting 51 percent from the field and 81 percent at the line. Expect McCollum to continue leading the offense, while
Kyshawn George remains a strong fantasy add thanks to his steady scoring, rebounding, and defensive activity.
Corey Kispert provides reliable perimeter shooting, and
Alexandre Sarr continues to offer value as a rebounding anchor. Coulibaly is a hold only for managers with deep benches.

Cleveland Cavaliers forward
Jaylon Tyson (head) has been ruled out Wednesday against the Miami Heat due to a concussion. It's an untimely setback for Cleveland, who are already missing
Darius Garland (toe),
Donovan Mitchell (rest), and
Evan Mobley (rest). Tyson has quietly been one of the Cavaliers' bright spots, averaging 11.1 points, 4.0 rebounds, 1.8 assists, and 2.2 threes per game on an efficient 48.9 percent shooting from the field and 46.2 percent from deep. He's been producing steady two-way value even when Garland was briefly active, showing poise and defensive versatility. With Tyson sidelined, expect
Sam Merrill and
De'Andre Hunter to see more wing minutes and perimeter looks, while
Lonzo Ball and
Craig Porter Jr. handle additional playmaking duties. Tyson's concussion will likely cost him multiple games, making him a hold in deeper formats but a temporary drop candidate in standard leagues if roster flexibility is limited.

Detroit Pistons forward
Tobias Harris (ankle) will remain sidelined Wednesday against the Bulls. Head coach J.B. Bickerstaff noted that Harris is "trending in the right direction," but he still has no firm timetable after missing five straight games. Before the injury, Harris averaged 13.5 points, 6.0 rebounds, and 2.8 assists in just over 32 minutes per game, providing steady mid-range scoring and reliable free-throw efficiency at 94.0 percent. His absence continues to open up opportunities for
Cade Cunningham (hip) and
Jalen Duren (ankle) to dominate usage, while
Duncan Robinson's floor spacing keeps him relevant in deeper leagues.
Caris LeVert, now off the injury report, profiles as the short-term add for points and threes, while rookie
Ron Holland II offers streaming upside in rebounds and defensive stats until Detroit's frontcourt gets healthy.

Miami Heat forward/center
Bam Adebayo (toe) will miss a fourth straight game on Wednesday against the Cleveland Cavaliers. The two-time Olympic champion recently sprained his left big toe. Adebayo was initially wearing a walking boot, but he didn't have one on when getting some practice reps in on Tuesday. This is an encouraging development and could indicate that the Heat star will be ready to return to action soon. Until then,
Kel'el Ware will continue to start at center. He had a big game on Monday against the Cavaliers, finishing a 140-138 overtime victory with 14 points and a career-high 20 rebounds. On Wednesday, Ware will face an
Evan Mobley-less Cleveland frontcourt, giving him a good opportunity to do more damage in the matchup.

Dallas Mavericks guard/forward
Cooper Flagg (thumb) will be in the lineup on Wednesday night against the Phoenix Suns. The exciting rookie hurt his right thumb on a dunk attempt in Saturday's win over the Washington Wizards. Despite the injury, Flagg produced an outstanding display in Monday's matchup against the Milwaukee Bucks and is good to go again on Wednesday. Flagg led the Mavericks in points, rebounds, and assists on Monday night. He's experiencing some growing pains early in his NBA career, as Flagg's shooting has been inconsistent, but the 18-year-old is providing solid fantasy production. So far, Flagg has averaged 15.0 points, 6.8 rebounds, 3.1 assists, and 1.3 steals.

November 12, 2025
Dallas Mavericks forward/center
Anthony Davis (calf) is considered questionable for Wednesday's Western Conference showdown against the Phoenix Suns. Following the firing of general manager Nico Harrison, the Mavericks start a new era on Wednesday night, but Davis might miss the game due to a lingering calf issue, which has kept him sidelined for six games already. Dallas' frontcourt has battled injuries throughout the season, giving rookie
Moussa Cisse a chance to make an impact. He has notched 7.3 points, 7.0 rebounds, and 2.0 blocks per game over the last three contests.
--Taavi PailkSource: NBA Injury Report
November 12, 2025
Cleveland Cavaliers forward/center
Evan Mobley (rest) will not feature in Wednesday's game against the Miami Heat. Cleveland has two games in two nights and will rest Mobley alongside
Donovan Mitchell. This means the Cavaliers will be without their two highest scorers. Mobley is averaging a career-high 20.1 points with 8.6 rebounds. As usual, the 24-year-old has also been a big presence defensively, notching 1.5 steals and 1.5 blocks per game. The frontcourt could also be without
Larry Nance Jr. (knee), who is listed as questionable on the injury report, raising the fantasy potential of
Jarrett Allen,
Dean Wade, and
Thomas Bryant.

November 12, 2025
Cleveland Cavaliers point guard
Darius Garland (toe) will be sidelined on Wednesday against the Miami Heat. After having surgery on his left big toe in the summer, Garland re-injured it against the Heat on Monday, playing only 19 minutes. He has played in only three games this season, averaging 13.0 points and 5.0 assists in 24.3 minutes.
Lonzo Ball and
Craig Porter Jr. will handle the point guard minutes in Wednesday's contest. Additionally, Garland's absence is likely to increase the offensive usage of players like
Sam Merrill and
De'Andre Hunter, especially with
Donovan Mitchell (rest) and
Evan Mobley (rest) also out on Wednesday.
--Taavi PailkSource: NBA Injury Report
November 12, 2025
Cleveland Cavaliers guard
Donovan Mitchell (rest) won't play in Wednesday's clash against the Miami Heat. The Cavaliers will keep him out of action for the first leg of a back-to-back. Mitchell leads his team with averages of 30.4 points and 5.4 assists, having shot over 50 percent from the field during a hot start to the campaign. Cleveland's backcourt also won't have the services of
Darius Garland (toe), putting the spotlight on
Lonzo Ball and
Sam Merrill.
Evan Mobley (rest) will be in street clothes as well on Wednesday night, opening up even more offensive opportunities for the rest of the Cavaliers.

Detroit Pistons forward/center
Isaiah Stewart (ankle) is listed as doubtful for Wednesday's game against the Bulls. With
Tobias Harris (ankle) sidelined, Stewart had been starting. However, he tweaked his ankle during the win over the Brooklyn Nets on November 7 and will now miss his third-straight contest. With
Ausar Thompson (ankle) on the shelf,
Ron Holland II may continue to see some action in the starting lineup. Unfortunately, Holland has averaged only 7.0 points as a starter, so he has some work to do before finding a place in any fantasy lineup.
--Dennis ClausenSource: NBA Injury Report
November 11, 2025
Detroit Pistons forward
Ausar Thompson (ankle) won't play on Wednesday versus the Chicago Bulls. The 2023 No. 5 overall pick is having the best season of his career, averaging 13.9 points, 6.6 rebounds, 3.4 assists, and 1.8 steals. He tweaked his ankle during Sunday's win over the Philadelphia 76ers and wasn't available for Monday's overtime victory over the Washington Wizards. While Thompson doesn't have a firm return date, it doesn't appear as if the injury will keep him on the shelf too long. With that in mind,
Javonte Green, coming off an 11-point, 11-rebound double-double, has streaming potential in deeper fantasy formats if he ends up getting the start.
--Dennis ClausenSource: NBA Injury Report
November 11, 2025
Detroit Pistons center
Jalen Duren (ankle) is listed as probable for Wednesday's Central Division showdown with the Chicago Bulls. The 21-year-old has had a monster season, averaging 19.4 points, 12.0 rebounds, 1.2 blocks, and 1.1 steals. He's also shot a career-high 80.8% from the free-throw line. It doesn't appear Duren is in any real danger of missing the contest on Wednesday. However, if he ends up getting ruled out,
Paul Reed, coming off an eight-point, nine-rebound performance in Monday's overtime win over the Washington Wizards, could find himself in the starting lineup, that is unless
Isaiah Stewart (ankle), who is doubtful, can suit up.
--Dennis ClausenSource: NBA Injury Report
November 11, 2025
Detroit Pistons guard
Cade Cunningham (hip) is listed as questionable for Wednesday's Central Division clash with the Chicago Bulls. The 24-year-old has played at an MVP level, averaging a career-high 27.5 points, 9.9 assists, and 1.4 steals with 5.4 rebounds. He also hasn't missed a game, which has been a problem at times throughout his career. There's still a chance he will suit up. However, if his condition goes in the wrong direction heading into Wednesday's contest and he gets ruled out,
Caris LeVert may move into the starting lineup, giving him more credibility for fantasy managers.
Daniss Jenkins, coming off a 24-point, eight-rebound, four-steal showing in Monday's overtime win over the Washington Wizards, could also be more involved on the scoring end, especially with
Tobias Harris (ankle) and
Ausar Thompson (ankle) sidelined.
--Dennis ClausenSource: NBA Injury Report
November 11, 2025
San Antonio Spurs guard/forward
Devin Vassell (migraine) is not on the injury report for his team's Wednesday night home game against the Warriors. Vassell had to leave Monday's game in the middle of the third quarter and did not return, but it doesn't look like he'll be impacted going forward. In his first nine games of the season, Vassell averaged 14.9 points, 3.8 rebounds, 2.3 assists, and 1.1 steals in 34.2 minutes per game before leaving his 10th game with that migraine. He should be ready to resume his typical role on Wednesday, but if the issue pops up again,
Julian Champagnie and
Keldon Johnson would be next in line for extra work.
