Memphis Grizzlies forward/center
Jaren Jackson Jr. (ankle) has been cleared to play Monday against the Nuggets after missing the previous two games. Jackson averaged 18.0 points with 5.4 rebounds and 1.0 block over his last five outings and should immediately reclaim his usual workload and shot volume. His return bumps
Santi Aldama back to the bench, though Aldama remains a hold thanks to steady production, including 20 points and eight rebounds in his last appearance. Managers should expect Aldama's minutes to fluctuate while Jackson resumes his role as Memphis' primary frontcourt scorer.

Chicago Bulls guard/forward
Kevin Huerter (pelvis) will miss his first game of the season on Monday, opening additional wing minutes in Chicago's rotation for Monday's game against the Pelicans. Huerter had averaged 12.6 points with 3.6 rebounds and 2.4 assists over his last five games while shooting 45.4 percent from the field.
Ayo Dosunmu becomes the most viable streaming target after recent scoring spikes, while
Tre Jones offers assist stability for managers needing guard production. Both gain short-term value until Chicago's rotation returns to full strength.

Brooklyn Nets center
Nicolas Claxton (quadriceps) will play on Monday against the Knicks. The 26-year-old carried an injury designation because of a sprained elbow heading into Sunday's loss to the Toronto Raptors. He ended up getting the green light for that one, finishing with a 10-point, 11-rebound double-double with two blocks. Fortunately, his latest injury, quadriceps tightness, won't keep him off the floor. While fantasy managers could theoretically see Claxton miss time in the future or even play fewer minutes on Monday night, he's a must-start versus a Knicks team that won't have
Mitchell Robinson (illness).

November 24, 2025
Chris Fedor of The Cleveland Plain Dealer reports that Cleveland Cavaliers forward
Dean Wade (knee) will miss his first game since November 7 due to a hyperextended right knee.
De'Andre Hunter (rest) will also have the evening off to rest. The Cavs frontcourt could turn to 24-year-old big man
Nae'Qwan Tomlin to take on extra minutes. He finished with eight points, two rebounds, one assist, one steal and two blocks in his last outing Sunday against the Clippers.
--Andrew LennoxSource: Chris Fedor
November 24, 2025
Chicago Bulls center
Nikola Vucevic (knee) is unavailable for Monday's matchup with the New Orleans Pelicans due to right knee soreness. The 35-year-old big man will be sidelined this evening for the first time this season. However, we could see him back in action on Friday versus the Hornets. With Vucevic out, 25-year-old
Jalen Smith will most likely start at center.
Patrick Williams (wrist), who was upgraded to available for tonight's contest after a one-game absence, will likely see an expanded role as well.
--Andrew LennoxSource: NBA Injury Report
November 24, 2025
New York Knicks guard/forward
Landry Shamet (shoulder) will miss Monday's meeting with Brooklyn after exiting early against Orlando. Shamet had averaged 9.2 points with 1.6 rebounds and 1.6 assists over his last five games while shooting 47.2 percent from the field and 44.0 percent from deep. His absence shifts backcourt opportunities to
Jordan Clarkson, who logged 15 points in 33 minutes last game and already holds a stable sixth-man role.
Miles McBride could re-enter the rotation if coach Mike Brown expands the guard mix, but he remains a deeper-league speculative play.
--Brian DailisanSource: New York Basketball
November 24, 2025
Miami Heat guard
Tyler Herro (ankle) will play on Monday versus Dallas. The 25-year-old averaged a career-high 23.9 points last season. Unfortunately, he's been working his way back from multiple injuries. It's possible Herro has some rust to shake off in his first game in nearly eight months. However, with
Norman Powell (groin) and
Andrew Wiggins (hip) sidelined, Herro should automatically be plugged into all fantasy lineups.
--Dennis ClausenSource: Miami Heat
November 24, 2025
Detroit Pistons guards
Jaden Ivey (return to competition conditioning) and
Caris LeVert (foot) will play in Indiana on Monday night. Ivey made his 2025 campaign debut in Saturday's win over the Milwaukee Bucks, finishing with 10 points in 15 minutes of work. As far as LeVert is concerned, he was listed as probable heading into this one because of foot soreness. With that in mind, both men may not see enough action to do anything meaningful for fantasy managers, although they should be stashed in all formats, considering they should see more minutes moving ahead.
--Dennis ClausenSource: NBA Injury Report
November 24, 2025
Utah Jazz forward/center
Kevin Love (rest) will be out of action for Monday's matchup with the Golden State Warriors. Love will miss the second leg of a back-to-back set to rest after posting four points, nine rebounds, two assists across 13 minutes during Sunday's 108-106 loss to the Lakers. With a limited role, Love hasn't made much of an impact in fantasy basketball in a while.
Kyle Filipowski could receive some extra attention from fantasy managers for tonight's contest as he will likely see additional minutes off the bench with Love out.
--Andrew LennoxSource: NBA Injury Report
November 24, 2025
Phoenix Suns guard/forward
Grayson Allen (quadriceps) and forward
Ryan Dunn (wrist) will miss Monday's game against Houston, leaving the wing rotation thin. Allen had averaged 21.8 points with 2.2 rebounds, 3.2 assists, and 2.2 steals over his last five games while shooting 59.3 percent from the field and 52.5 percent from deep. Dunn had been contributing steady defense and rebounding in smaller minutes. Their absence pushes
Collin Gillespie and
Royce O'Neale into larger roles, with Gillespie offering more playmaking and O'Neale profiling as a threes-and-steals streamer in standard formats.

November 24, 2025
Baltimore Ravens quarterback
Lamar Jackson (toe) was listed as a non-participant on Monday on the team's estimated practice report due to a new toe injury, according to Mike Garafolo of NFL Network. Although the Ravens are likely just resting Jackson, it's not what fantasy managers want to see. The 28-year-old two-time MVP has been listed on the team's injury report for the last two weeks with minor ankle and knee injuries, and now he's working through a toe ailment. Baltimore was able to beat the New York Jets on Sunday, but it was another quiet game for Jackson, as he went 13-for-23 passing for 153 yards without a touchdown or interception. He added only 11 rushing yards on seven carries. In the last three games, Jackson has one touchdown pass and two interceptions. It's possible that his lower-body injuries -- he also missed a few games with a hamstring injury -- have taken their toll. Jackson has a plus matchup this Thursday against the Bengals if he plays, but his lack of rushing numbers this year has hurt his overall QB1 upside.
UPDATE: Head coach John Harbaugh said that Jackson is feeling fine physically after the Week 12 win.--Keith HernandezSource: NFL Network - Mike Garafolo
November 24, 2025
Dallas Mavericks forward/center
Anthony Davis (calf) won't play on Monday versus Miami. He's already missed 13 games because of the calf injury. While there are some reports indicating AD is inching his way closer to a return, fantasy managers will need to see it to believe it. With
Dereck Lively II (foot) also sidelined,
Daniel Gafford could see a few additional minutes, although he's only averaged 9.7 points, 6.3 rebounds, and 1.6 blocks, all down from the 2024 campaign.
Moussa Cisse may also be more involved, giving him a higher ceiling for those participating in deeper fantasy setups.
--Dennis ClausenSource: Zachary Weinberger
November 24, 2025
Cleveland Cavaliers guard
Lonzo Ball (knee) is available to suit up against the Toronto Raptors on Monday. Ball missed Sunday's contest against the Clippers due to left knee injury management. The 28-year-old has averaged 5.9 points, 4.1 rebounds, 5.1 assists, and 1.2 steals across 23.3 minutes over his last five outings. With guard
Sam Merrill (hand) and guard
Craig Porter Jr. (hamstring) both out, Ball could absorb plenty of extra backcourt minutes and be a solid streaming option based on assists and steals for this evening's matchup.
--Andrew LennoxSource: NBA Injury Report
November 24, 2025
Green Bay Packers rookie first-round wide receiver
Matthew Golden (wrist) was listed as limited on Monday on the team's estimated practice report, according to Tom Silverstein of the Milwaukee Journal Sentinel. Golden missed the team's Week 12 win over the Minnesota Vikings on Sunday, but the good news is he's no longer listed with a shoulder injury. If the 22-year-old can upgrade to a full practice in the next two days, he'll have a good chance of suiting up this Thursday to take on the division-rival Detroit Lions on Thanksgiving Day. Golden won't be a recommended flex play for fantasy managers if he returns, though, especially if
Jayden Reed (foot, shoulder) plays in his first game since Week 2. There's still plenty of long-term upside with Golden, but he has failed to make a big impact in his first nine NFL games in a crowded WR room in Green Bay, catching 24 passes for 286 yards and no scores.

November 24, 2025
Edmonton Oilers defenseman Jake Walman (undisclosed) will miss a second consecutive game on Tuesday against the Dallas Stars, Tony Brar of Oilers TV reports. He is considered day-to-day with an undisclosed injury. During his first full season with the Oilers, Walman has registered 10 points (three goals, seven assists), 23 shots, and 31 blocks in 17 games. His next chance to return will be on Saturday night against the Seattle Kraken. Ty Emberson is expected to stay in the lineup on Tuesday, but he lacks significant fantasy value.
--Taavi PailkSource: Tony Brar
November 24, 2025
Golden State Warriors forward/center
Draymond Green (foot) will miss Monday's game against Utah after injuring his foot on a loose-ball sequence in Portland. Green last posted 11 points, five rebounds, seven assists, three steals, and one block in 33 minutes, but his absence shifts the frontcourt toward
Trayce Jackson-Davis and
Quinten Post. Jackson-Davis showed promise with eight points, 12 rebounds, and one block in his latest start, making him a tentative streaming consideration. Post remains more of a deep-league flier for perimeter shooting and spot defensive stats.
--Brian DailisanSource: Anthony Slater
November 24, 2025
Green Bay Packers wide receiver
Jayden Reed (foot, shoulder) was listed as limited on Monday on the team's estimated practice report, according to the Milwaukee Journal Sentinel's Tom Silverstein. Reed had his 21-day practice window opened last Friday, and he was listed as limited then, too. The 25-year-old is making progress in his rehab from a broken collarbone and foot fracture, but he's probably more of a long shot to make his return in Week 13 on Thursday for the Thanksgiving Day game versus the division-rival Detroit Lions. If Reed does upgrade to a full practice in the next two days and is activated from Injured Reserve, the Packers will most likely ease him back into the offense. Either way, Reed won't come recommended for fantasy football purposes in Week 13 despite his touchdown upside. Reed should have a key role in the Packers' offense eventually, though, making him worth a waiver-wire pickup this week.
--Keith HernandezSource: Milwaukee Journal Sentinel - Tom Silverstein
November 24, 2025
Cleveland Cavaliers guard
Sam Merrill (hand) and guard
Craig Porter Jr. (hamstring) will miss Monday's matchup with the Toronto Raptors. Tonight's clash will be the fourth game in a row that Merrill will miss due to a right-hand sprain. A lingering hamstring injury will keep Porter out of action for the second straight contest. With a depleted Cavs backcourt, fantasy managers could turn to
Lonzo Ball, who is expected to see plenty of minutes this evening.
--Andrew LennoxSource: NBA Injury Report
November 24, 2025
Toronto Raptors forward
RJ Barrett (knee) won't play on Monday versus Cleveland. The former Knick sprained his left knee in Sunday's win over the Brooklyn Nets. Unfortunately, it will cost him his first game of the 2025 campaign, although it appears he may miss more time beyond Monday night. In the meantime,
Gradey Dick and
Jamal Shead may benefit the most from a minutes standpoint, with one potentially in line to enter the starting lineup. However, both are risky fantasy options, even with the chance of expanded roles, considering
Brandon Ingram,
Scottie Barnes, and
Immanuel Quickley may take the most advantage of Barrett's absence.
--Dennis ClausenSource: NBA Injury Report
November 24, 2025
Green Bay Packers running back
Josh Jacobs (knee), who missed his first game of the year in Week 12 due to a knee contusion, was listed as limited on Monday's estimated practice report, according to Tom Silverstein of the Milwaukee Journal Sentinel. In Jacobs' absence in Sunday's win over the Minnesota Vikings,
Emanuel Wilson stepped in nicely, running for 100-plus yards and scoring twice on the ground. It could be just a one-week boost for Wilson's fantasy value, though, if Jacobs can return for a Thanksgiving Day game against the division-rival Detroit Lions this Thursday. If Jacobs can practice in full on either Tuesday or Wednesday, he will most likely return to lead-back duties in Week 13. The 27-year-old former first-rounder has been a no-doubt, must-start RB1 in fantasy this year, scoring on the ground 11 times in his 10 games.
--Keith HernandezSource: Milwaukee Journal Sentinel - Tom Silverstein
November 24, 2025
Ottawa Senators forward Ridly Greig (undisclosed) will skip a third straight game on Monday versus the Los Angeles Kings. Greig had been ever-present in the Senators lineup before suffering an undisclosed injury ahead of a seven-game road trip. He has contributed two goals and six assists in 19 appearances. Graig's absence has allowed Stephen Halliday to make his first career NHL appearances, but he has averaged only a handful of minutes per game. At the same time, Lars Eller has seen increased ice time as a member of the top six.
--Taavi PailkSource: NHL.com
November 24, 2025
Cleveland Cavaliers forward
De'Andre Hunter (rest) won't suit up on Monday versus the Toronto Raptors. Hunter will miss tonight's tilt to rest after finishing with 17 points, four rebounds, four assists, and one steal during Sunday's 120-105 win over the Clippers.
Jarrett Allen (finger) is also unavailable.
Dean Wade (knee) is considered questionable for this evening, but if he can suit up, he could absorb some of the freed-up minutes Allen and Hunter left on the table.

November 24, 2025
After undergoing an MRI exam on Monday, Tampa Bay Buccaneers quarterback
Baker Mayfield (shoulder) has been diagnosed with a low-grade left (non-throwing) shoulder injury, a source tells Ian Rapoport of NFL Network. Mayfield injured his left shoulder late in the first half of Sunday night's blowout loss to the Los Angeles Rams and did not return in the second half. He was seen wearing a sling on his left arm on the sideline. It's good news for the 30-year-old, but it's still unclear if he will play in Week 13 against the Arizona Cardinals. If Mayfield cannot go, veteran
Teddy Bridgewater would make his first start of the year. Mayfield, who has been on the QB1/2 borderline in fantasy football in recent weeks, should be considered questionable for the next game for now. We should have a better idea of his Week 13 status when Tampa resumes practicing on Wednesday.
--Keith HernandezSource: NFL Network - Ian Rapoport
November 24, 2025
Ottawa Senators defenseman Thomas Chabot (upper body) won't play on Monday night against the Los Angeles Kings. Over the weekend, Chabot made an early return from an upper-body injury, but he re-aggravated the issue and will now be absent for a fourth time in five games. Chabot has recorded 10 points (two goals, eight assists), 22 shots, and 36 blocks in 18 outings this season. Nikolas Matinpalo (undisclosed) is set to replace him in the Senators lineup on Monday, returning from a one-game absence. Meanwhile, Jordan Spence will see a boost in playing time.

November 24, 2025
New York Knicks center
Mitchell Robinson (illness) won't play on Monday versus the Brooklyn Nets, marking his sixth absence of the 2025 campaign. The 27-year-old isn't hurt, which is always a plus for fantasy managers, considering his lengthy injury history. However, he's not feeling well, marking his first absence since November 11. With that in mind, Robinson might be back when the Knicks play in Charlotte on Wednesday evening. In the meantime,
Karl-Anthony Towns will presumably slide over to the five spot,
Jordan Clarkson and
Josh Hart are in line to see more minutes than usual, with one of them potentially entering the starting lineup.
Precious Achiuwa may also see more action, although he's averaged only 2.7 points and 2.4 boards in 14 games this season, making him tough to trust from a fantasy standpoint, even with the chance of an expanded role.
--Dennis ClausenSource: NBA Injury Report
November 24, 2025
Cincinnati Bengals running back
Samaje Perine (ankle) has missed the last two games with an ankle injury, but he was listed as a full participant on Monday's estimated practice report, per SI.com's Jay Morrison. It's notable since rookie
Tahj Brooks was already ruled out for Thursday's Thanksgiving Day game against the Baltimore Ravens due to a concussion he suffered in Sunday's loss to the New England Patriots. As long as Perine doesn't suffer a setback with his ankle on Tuesday or Wednesday, he figures to be active in Week 13 to serve as the Bengals' No. 2 RB behind starter
Chase Brown. The 30-year-old doesn't have standalone fantasy football value in a depth role, though. In 32 rushing attempts in 2025, Perine has 198 rushing yards and one score on the ground, adding 30 receiving yards.
--Keith HernandezSource: SI.com - Jay Morrison
November 24, 2025
Columbus Blue Jackets right wing Kirill Marchenko (upper body) has been ruled out for Monday's encounter with the Washington Capitals. He left the morning skate with an injury and won't be in the Blue Jackets lineup for the first time this season. Despite going scoreless in the past three games, Marchenko leads Columbus with 22 points (eight goals, 14 assists) in 22 games. With him out, Yegor Chinakhov will get an opportunity to impress on the first line. Chinakhov has recorded only four points (two goals, two assists) in 16 games. However, his ice time has been limited to 10:08 per game. He has the ability to make a big impact with increased usage.

November 24, 2025
Cleveland Cavaliers center
Jarrett Allen (finger) will remain sidelined on Monday against the Toronto Raptors due to a right third finger strain, marking his third straight absence. Allen has been solid across 14 contests, averaging 14.8 points, 7.6 rebounds, 1.9 assists, 1.1 steals, and 0.9 blocks in 26.0 minutes while shooting 57.7 percent. His next chance to suit up is on Friday against the Hawks, but a timetable for when the 27-year-old big man will be ready to return has not been set.
--Andrew LennoxSource: NBA Injury Report
November 24, 2025
Cincinnati Bengals quarterback
Joe Burrow (toe) was listed as a full participant on Monday on the team's estimated injury report, according to Jay Morrison of SI.com. Burrow has not played since suffering a turf-toe injury in Week 2 that required surgery, but he returned to practice last week and is expected to start on Thursday for the Thanksgiving Day clash against the division-rival Baltimore Ravens. The Bengals haven't officially said that the 28-year-old will play in Week 13, but all signs are pointing in that direction. Even though Burrow could show some rust after his long layoff, he should immediately give Cincy's offense a boost over veteran
Joe Flacco, although the matchup this Thursday won't be an easy one versus a Ravens defense that has tightened up the ship in recent weeks. Even without receiver
Tee Higgins (concussion) in Week 13, Burrow will be a low-end QB1 option, at worst, in fantasy if he's active on Turkey Day, as expected.

New York Rangers forward J.T. Miller (upper body) will miss a second consecutive game on Monday against the St. Louis Blues, Vince Z. Mercogliano of The Athletic reports. The Rangers captain exited the lineup over the weekend due to an upper-body injury. Over his last two appearances, Miller has produced two goals and one assist. However, he has been a disappointment for fantasy managers this season, totaling only 12 points (six goals, six assists) in 22 games. On Monday, the Rangers could also be without Vincent Trocheck (undisclosed), who is a game-time call. Alexis Lafreniere and Jonny Brodzinski have moved up in the lineup due to the Rangers' injury situation.
