Sacramento Kings forward/center
Precious Achiuwa (illness) is questionable for Sunday's matchup against the San Antonio Spurs. He has been filling in at power forward with
Keegan Murray sidelined. He is averaging 6.7 points, 4.7 rebounds, and 58.6 percent shooting in 18.8 minutes this season. Achiuwa is mostly a deeper league streamer for rebounds, field goal percentage, and occasional defensive stats, but he gains appeal if
Domantas Sabonis (ribcage) also sits. If Achiuwa is ruled out, managers in deeper formats can look to
Drew Eubanks or
Maxime Raynaud as short-term frontcourt streamers, while
Zach LaVine and
DeMar DeRozan could see even more small-ball usage.

Dallas Mavericks forward
P.J. Washington (shoulder) is probable for Sunday's matchup against the Portland Trail Blazers after exiting early against Phoenix and missing time. Over his last five games, he has averaged 13.0 points, 6.6 rebounds, 1.6 assists, 1.0 steal, and 1.4 blocks in about 26 minutes. He is shooting 42.3 percent from the field and 25.0 percent from three during that stretch. When healthy, he typically plays in the low to mid 30s. With
Anthony Davis (calf) doubtful, Washington should slide back into a primary frontcourt role, stabilizing Dallas' rebounding and secondary scoring. His return slightly caps the recent usage spikes for
Naji Marshall and
Daniel Gafford, but all three remain viable in standard leagues while the Mavericks stay shorthanded.

Chicago Bulls guard
Tre Jones (ankle) is questionable for Sunday's matchup against the Utah Jazz after posting 11 points, two rebounds, five assists, and three steals in 30 minutes against Detroit. He has topped 30 minutes in three straight games, but that workload is likely to shift with
Josh Giddey (ankle) probable after a two-game absence and
Coby White (calf) potentially making his season debut. Jones has averaged 13.4 points, 5.6 assists, and 2.0 steals over his last five. Yet, his role depends heavily on Chicago's injury-thinned backcourt. If both guards return, Jones becomes more of a deep-league assists and steals streamer rather than a standard-league hold, with a realistic drop to the low-20s in minutes.

Chicago Bulls guard
Coby White (calf) has been listed as questionable for a game against the Utah Jazz on Sunday night. He could be ready to make his season debut after practicing with the team on Saturday. This week, White also spent some time with the Bulls' G League affiliate to get in additional practice reps. It wouldn't be surprising to see the team initially limit White's workload. However, once he finds his footing, White should become an integral part of the offense going forward. He had a very strong finish to last season, posting 24.5 points, 4.4 rebounds, and 4.3 assists per game after the All-Star break.

Chicago Bulls guard
Josh Giddey (ankle) is on track to return to action on Sunday against the Utah Jazz, as the team has listed him as probable for the game. Giddey has missed a pair of games due to a right ankle sprain, allowing
Kevin Huerter to run with the starters. Only a handful of players have been more productive than Giddey at the start of the season, as the 23-year-old averages 21.4 points, 9.6 rebounds, 9.3 assists, and 1.0 steals. He could cook up something very special on Sunday, as Chicago and Utah are both ranked in the top 10 in the league for pace, making this an outstanding fantasy matchup.

New Orleans Pelicans forward
Zion Williamson (hamstring) is listed as questionable on the injury report for Sunday's game against the Golden State Warriors. There have been several positive updates on Williamson's recovery from a hamstring injury this week, and it looks like he might be ready to return to the lineup on Sunday. If Williamson's comeback doesn't come in Sunday's game, it might happen on Monday against the Oklahoma City Thunder during the second leg of a back-to-back.
Saddiq Bey has done an admirable job as Williamson's replacement in the starting lineup, but he will lose momentum if he has to return to the second unit.

Memphis Grizzlies point guard
Ja Morant (calf) was limited to six minutes in Saturday's 108-100 loss to the Cleveland Cavaliers. Returning to action after missing one game due to an ankle problem, Morant lasted less than 10 minutes against Cleveland due to right calf soreness.
Vince Williams Jr. took Morant's spot in the starting lineup for the second half, finishing the contest with eight points, four rebounds, five assists, and two steals in 27 minutes. Although Williams Jr. couldn't get it done offensively on Saturday, he will be an interesting fantasy piece if Morant has to miss additional time, especially with
Ty Jerome (calf),
Javon Small (toe), and
Scotty Pippen Jr. (toe) all missing from the backcourt.

Oklahoma City Thunder guard/forward
Alex Caruso (hand) has been ruled out for the rest of Saturday's game against the Charlotte Hornets, Andrew Schlecht of The Athletic reports. Coming off the bench, Caruso logged only 1:42 of action before hurting his right hand. His exit from the game allows
Isaiah Joe and
Ajay Mitchell to take on more shifts in the rotation. The team has labeled Caruso's injury as "right hand soreness," which doesn't sound too serious. However, he could still miss additional time because of it. The Thunder's next game is scheduled for Monday night against the New Orleans Pelicans.

Sacramento Kings center
Domantas Sabonis (ribs) is considered questionable for Sunday's clash against the San Antonio Spurs. He has played in four consecutive contests despite being listed as questionable each time, so it appears likely that Sabonis will remain in the lineup on Sunday. However, if he suffers a setback, the Kings will likely hand the starting center job to
Drew Eubanks, who recently filled in for Sabonis in the first unit a couple of times. Eubanks averaged 14.0 points, 3.5 rebounds, and 2.0 blocks in those contests.

Orlando Magic forward
Paolo Banchero (groin) remains out for Sunday's matchup with the Houston Rockets. He injured his groin during a recent meeting with the New York Knicks and wasn't available for Friday's NBA Cup game versus the Nets. He'll now miss his second-straight game because of the issue, although there hasn't been much revealed regarding his prognosis. While
Franz Wagner,
Jalen Suggs, and
Desmond Bane are the favorites to benefit the most on the scoring end,
Tristan da Silva, coming off a 22-point effort as a starter, is worth streaming in any fantasy format.

November 15, 2025
Dallas Mavericks forward/center
Anthony Davis (calf) has been listed as doubtful for Sunday's contest against the Portland Trail Blazers. This marks a downgrade to Davis' status because he has previously been on the injury report with a questionable designation. If there isn't a positive development in the next 24 hours or so, Davis will miss a ninth consecutive game. Fortunately for the Mavericks, they received some help in the frontcourt with the return of
Dereck Lively II on Friday night against the Los Angeles Clippers. After missing nearly three weeks of action, Lively II was limited to 17 minutes. His workload may increase on Sunday night, with
Daniel Gafford also in a position to see more playing time due to Davis' absence.

Indiana Pacers forward
Aaron Nesmith (knee) will be out of action for at least four weeks, head coach Rick Carlisle announced on Saturday. Nesmith sprained his left knee on Thursday against the Phoenix Suns. His exit from the lineup gave
Jarace Walker a new starting opportunity on Saturday against the Toronto Raptors. During a recent seven-game stint in the first unit, Walker averaged 12.4 points, 5.6 rebounds, and 3.7 assists across 31.0 minutes per game. If he sticks in the starting lineup, the 22-year-old is set to have additional fantasy value until at least mid-December.

November 15, 2025
San Antonio Spurs center
Victor Wembanyama (calf) is questionable for Sunday's meeting with the Sacramento Kings. The 2023 No. 1 overall pick is playing at an MVP level, averaging 26.2 points, 12.9 rebounds, 3.6 blocks, and 1.1 steals. He also hasn't missed a game after being limited to 46 appearances last season. However, nagging calf tightness could be enough to keep him off the floor for the first time in the 2025 campaign. If Wemby can't go, there are several directions head coach Mitch Johnson could go, although most of them will likely result in more minutes for
Julian Champagnie,
Luke Kornet, and
Keldon Johnson.

November 15, 2025
Houston Rockets forward
Tari Eason (oblique) will be sidelined for 4-6 weeks, head coach Ime Udoka announced on Saturday. Eason was diagnosed with a strained oblique following his early exit from Friday's victory over the Portland Trail Blazers. The 24-year-old has been an important contributor in the rotation, averaging 11.5 points and 5.2 rebounds across 23.2 minutes, with close to 51 percent shooting from outside.
Josh Okogie has broken into the starting lineup and may now see even more playing time due to Eason's absence.
Reed Sheppard's role could also expand in the rotation.

November 15, 2025
Denver Nuggets guard/forward
Julian Strawther (back) will play on Saturday versus the Timberwolves. He was listed on the injury report because of low back pain, but he'll be out there for a Nuggets team that won't have
Christian Braun (ankle) and
Cameron Johnson (biceps). Strawther isn't having a good season, averaging a career-low 4.1 points. As of now, he's not someone to roster in most fantasy setups, although that might chance if he's given extra playing time and makes good use of it.
