Cleveland Cavaliers guard
Lonzo Ball (illness) is available for Wednesday's game against Portland after missing two straight contests. Ball last logged 17 minutes in Atlanta, producing three points, five rebounds, and four assists, and he continues to deliver low-usage playmaking with scattered defensive value when active. His minute volatility remains the main concern given ongoing injury management, making him more of a deep-league assists specialist than a standard-league hold. His return slightly trims opportunities for
Craig Porter Jr. and reduces secondary ball-handling touches for
Darius Garland.

Milwaukee Bucks forward
Giannis Antetokounmpo (groin) has been cleared to play ahead of Wednesday's game against the Detroit Pistons. As expected, Antetokounmpo will suit up after being listed as probable on the earlier injury report. The superstar forward figures to resume his regular role in the rotation. He's averaging 30.6 points, 10.7 rebounds, and 6.4 assists across 30.8 minutes per game through 16 games this season. Antetokounmpo is a top three fantasy contributor at the moment. Fantasy managers should double check their lineups and make sure Antetokounmpo is in there ahead of tip-off.

Denver Nuggets guard
Jamal Murray (ankle) is available for Wednesday's meeting with Indiana after briefly carrying a questionable tag. Murray logged 10 points, four rebounds, and nine assists across 26 minutes in Monday's loss to Dallas, continuing a strong five-game stretch that includes 37, 29, and 24-point outings. His availability keeps Denver's offensive structure intact and secures his floor in all formats.
Nikola Jokic maintains his typical usage, while
Spencer Jones and
Tim Hardaway Jr. retain deeper-league relevance with
Aaron Gordon (hamstring) and
Christian Braun (ankle) still out.

Denver Nuggets center
Nikola Jokic (wrist) is available to suit up for Wednesday's matchup with Indiana. He was listed as probable due to a left wrist sprain, an issue that's bothered him throughout the 2025 campaign. Fortunately, fantasy managers won't see him miss his first game of the season. As expected, Jokic is having another MVP-caliber year, averaging 29.0 points, 12.8 rebounds, 11.1 assists, and 1.5 steals while shooting 43.8% from deep. The 30-year-old could be in line for a productive evening versus a Pacers team that has struggled defending opposing bigs all season.

Los Angeles Lakers guard
Luka Doncic (personal) won't play on Thursday versus the Toronto Raptors. The 2018 No. 3 overall pick is playing at an MVP level, averaging a career-high 35.3 points with 8.9 assists and 8.9 rebounds. His next chance to suit up will be on Friday in Boston. However, with
Marcus Smart (back) also ruled out on Thursday,
Gabe Vincent may handle most of the work at the point, giving him streaming value for at least one game.
LeBron James, averaging only 15.2 points in his five appearances, should also take on more of the ball-handling duties, potentially increasing his usage and scoring opportunities.

Miami Heat guard
Norman Powell (ankle) won't play on Wednesday versus the Dallas Mavericks after tweaking his left ankle in Monday's win over the Los Angeles Clippers. The 32-year-old has thrived since his arrival in Miami, averaging a career-high 25.0 points while shooting 45.8% from downtown. Unfortunately, it appears there's a chance he'll miss time beyond Wednesday's contest. Without Powell in the equation,
Jaime Jaquez Jr. and
Kel'el Ware could find themselves in the starting lineup, although both players should benefit offensively regardless of their roles.

December 3, 2025
Phoenix Suns guard
Devin Booker (groin) will miss at least one week after suffering a groin strain during the win over the Los Angeles Lakers on Monday night. That means fantasy managers won't have him in the lineup for upcoming meetings with the Rockets, Timberwolves, and Thunder. However, there's certainly a good chance his absence will extend beyond the matchup with OKC, although it's too early to speculate. The 29-year-old has averaged 25.0 points, 6.7 assists, and 4.1 rebounds this season. While he's shot a career-low 31.5% from deep, he remains a constant producer for fantasy participants in all formats. With
Jalen Green (hamstring) also on the shelf,
Dillon Brooks,
Collin Gillespie, and
Grayson Allen should all see a bump in usage and scoring opportunities.

December 3, 2025
Sacramento Kings guard
Dennis Schroder (hip) is questionable for Wednesday's matchup in Houston after missing three straight games, keeping
Russell Westbrook in a prominent ball-handling role. Westbrook has averaged 13.2 points, 7.8 rebounds, and 8.4 assists across his last five outings, including a 16-point, 12-rebound, 14-assist showing on Nov. 28.
Malik Monk (shoulder), who is probable, has been volatile this season but still gains opportunity if Schroder remains sidelined, keeping him on the streaming radar.

December 3, 2025
Houston Rockets center
Steven Adams (ankle) is questionable for Wednesday's meeting with Sacramento after missing Monday's game and moving in and out of the rotation recently. His last appearance featured 13 points, 12 rebounds, and two assists in 17 minutes, but Houston has leaned heavily on small-ball lineups when he is unavailable. That shift pushed
Aaron Holiday to 32 minutes Monday, putting him on the deep-league streaming radar, while
Clint Capela stands to benefit if Houston leans back toward a traditional lineup. Adams remains a risky hold in most formats due to volatility.
--Brian DailisanSource: NBA Injury Report
December 3, 2025
Chicago Bulls guard
Tre Jones (ankle) is probable for Wednesday's matchup with Brooklyn and is positioned for a larger role with
Coby White (calf) sidelined. Jones has delivered steady production across his last five appearances, averaging 14.6 points, 1.4 rebounds, and 4.2 assists, and he closed Monday's loss with 20 points in 30 minutes. He profiles as a useful short-term streamer for assists and low-turnover guard play.
Ayo Dosunmu should see a slight usage bump if Jones is limited or experiences any setbacks.

December 3, 2025
Cleveland Cavaliers guard
Lonzo Ball (illness) is probable for Wednesday's matchup with Portland after missing two straight games and continuing to navigate periodic injury management. Ball's recent stretch has been uneven, but he still averaged 4.8 points, 5.2 rebounds, and 4.6 assists across his last five appearances, offering steady playmaking when active. His most recent outing saw three points, five rebounds, and four assists in 17 minutes. He profiles as a deep-league assists and steals streamer, while
Donovan Mitchell and
Darius Garland handle the bulk of playmaking if he suffers a setback.
--Brian DailisanSource: NBA Injury Report
December 3, 2025
Dallas Mavericks forward
P.J. Washington (ankle) is questionable for Wednesday's matchup with Miami, putting him at risk of a third consecutive absence.
Naji Marshall has absorbed most of the power forward minutes, producing 12.6 points, 6.8 rebounds, and 3.0 assists across his last five games and playing 33 minutes Monday. His balanced stat profile and stable role keep him firmly in the short-term streaming mix. Managers should continue to hold Washington, with Marshall gaining the biggest boost if his ankle keeps him out.
--Brian DailisanSource: NBA Injury Report
December 3, 2025
Dallas Mavericks center
Daniel Gafford (ankle) is questionable for Wednesday's game in Miami and could miss his third consecutive contest, keeping
Dwight Powell and
Anthony Davis in elevated roles. Powell has averaged 2.6 points, 2.0 rebounds, and 1.6 assists across his last five games. His only notable spike was a 33-minute outing on Nov. 29, which still keeps him in deep-league streamer territory rather than a standard-format target. Davis logged 32 minutes Monday and would remain the primary beneficiary if Gafford sits again.
--Brian DailisanSource: NBA Injury Report
December 3, 2025
Miami Heat guard/forward
Norman Powell (ankle) is considered questionable for Wednesday's tilt against the Dallas Mavericks. Powell has appeared on the injury report quite often this season and is currently on it because of an ankle sprain. His absence would be a big blow for the Heat, as Powell leads the team in scoring and has gone for 30-plus points twice in his past four outings.
Jaime Jaquez Jr. and
Dru Smith will probably log more minutes off the bench if Powell can't play on Wednesday. Jaquez Jr has been productive throughout the season, even with Powell in the lineup. However, he had an awful time against the Los Angeles Clippers on Monday night, finishing with four points on 2-for-10 shooting.

December 3, 2025
Detroit Pistons guard/forward
Duncan Robinson (ankle) is at risk of missing a second consecutive game on Wednesday versus the Milwaukee Bucks, as the team has listed him as questionable for the matchup. Robinson is nursing a right ankle sprain and was out for the first time this season on Monday night against the Atlanta Hawks.
Daniss Jenkins was elevated into the starting unit, finishing a low-scoring 99-98 win with six points, eight rebounds, and six assists. Even with
Cade Cunningham in the lineup, Jenkins had the most shot attempts on the Pistons squad. However, he finished only 3-for-16 from the field, which left an ugly dent on Jenkins' fantasy line. In general, Jenkins has done well as a starter this season and will be a good fantasy option if he remains in the first unit against the defense-challenged Bucks.
