New Orleans Pelicans guard
Jose Alvarado (oblique) is available to play ahead of Sunday's game against the San Antonio Spurs. This marks the first time that Alvarado has suited up since January 6. He's likely going to have his minutes monitored, given Alvarado has missed nine straight games. His return to the court will likely reduce playing time for
Jordan Poole and
Jeremiah Fears. Alvarado offers some low-end streaming appeal, but isn't an ideal option given he'll likely be limited on Sunday. He's someone worth keeping an eye on once he gets back to full speed.

New Orleans Pelicans forward
Trey Murphy III (hand) is available to play ahead of Sunday's game against the San Antonio Spurs. Murphy was tagged as probable earlier in the day due to right-hand soreness. It doesn't appear to be serious enough to keep Murphy on the sideline. Fantasy managers should expect Murphy to have his full workload on Sunday. This season, Murphy is averaging 22.3 points, 6.0 rebounds, and 3.6 assists in 35.7 minutes per game. Fantasy managers should double-check their lineups and make sure Murphy is in there ahead of tip-off.

Toronto Raptors guard
Ja'Kobe Walter (hip) is available to play ahead of Sunday's game against the Oklahoma City Thunder. Walter is back in the mix after missing the last seven games due to a hip injury. It's unclear if Walter will have a minutes limit during his first game back in the rotation. Walter hasn't been a consistent contributor this season anyway, so he's better off left on waivers. His role will likely be minimal, especially with
Immanuel Quickley (ankle) cleared to play.

Toronto Raptors guard
Immanuel Quickley (ankle) has been upgraded to available ahead of Sunday's game against the Oklahoma City Thunder. He entered this game as questionable due to right ankle soreness. Quickley is feeling good enough to play and should have his normal role in the starting five. This season, Quickley is averaging 17.0 points, 6.3 assists, and 4.3 rebounds in 32.6 minutes per game. Fantasy managers should double-check their lineups and make sure Quickley is in there ahead of tip-off.

Miami Heat guard
Norman Powell (back) has been upgraded to probable ahead of Sunday's game against the Phoenix Suns. Powell has played through back tightness during the last two games. It seems likely that Powell is going to play through the issue once again on Sunday. He finished with 13 points, six assists, and four rebounds in 25 minutes of action during Saturday's game. He's basically a must-start option when healthy.
Jaime Jaquez Jr. and
Simone Fontecchio would be asked to take on larger roles if Powell is unable to play. Between the two, Jaquez is the better streaming option for Sunday's slate.

January 25, 2026
Miami Heat guard
Davion Mitchell (shoulder) has been downgraded from doubtful to out ahead of Sunday's game against the Phoenix Suns. This marks the third game in a row that Mitchell has been forced to miss due to a left shoulder injury.
Kasparas Jakucionis (face) has started the last two games, but remains questionable for this game with a facial contusion.
Dru Smith would likely be asked to take on a significant role if both players are unable to go. Smith finished with six points, five assists, and 10 rebounds during Saturday's game against the Utah Jazz. He's worth a look as a streaming option with the Heat shorthanded at the guard spot right now.

Golden State Warriors forward
Jonathan Kuminga (knee) has been diagnosed with a bone bruise in his left knee. Kuminga was forced to make an early exit during Thursday's game. An MRI revealed a bone bruise, so Kuminga is expected to miss more time. His timetable is unknown at the moment, but the Warriors should offer more details in the coming days. The Warriors are likely going to use a committee approach to fill the void in the rotation.
Gui Santos,
Buddy Hield, and
Gary Payton II should all see increased playing time going forward. Hield offers the highest streaming upside at the moment, so fantasy managers should check their waivers to see if he's available.

January 25, 2026
Miami Heat guard
Norman Powell (back) is listed as questionable ahead of Sunday's game against the Phoenix Suns. Powell has played through a back issue during each of the last two games. The expectation is that he'll continue to play through the issue, but fantasy managers will need to check back closer to tip-off. If he gets downgraded,
Jaime Jaquez Jr. and
Simone Fontecchio would likely both see increased roles in the rotation. Jaquez is the more reliable streaming option between the two players, but fantasy managers will need to check back for another update.

January 25, 2026
Miami Heat guard
Davion Mitchell (shoulder) is listed as doubtful ahead of Sunday's game against the Phoenix Suns. Mitchell has missed each of the last two games due to a left shoulder injury. He's trending in the right direction on Sunday, so fantasy managers should prepare to be without him.
Kasparas Jakucionis (face) has started in each of the last two games, but is tagged as questionable for this game. The absence of both players would likely mean an increased role for
Dru Smith in the rotation. Smith finished with six points, five assists, and 10 rebounds in 26 minutes of action during Saturday's game. He's worth a look as a streaming option with the Heat banged up at the guard spot right now.

January 25, 2026
Brooklyn Nets forward
Noah Clowney (back) is ruled out ahead of Sunday's game against the Los Angeles Clippers. Clowney will take a seat here after playing 43 minutes during Friday's game. He appears to have picked up a back injury during that game, so he'll take a seat here.
Jalen Wilson,
Ziaire Williams, and
Danny Wolf should see increased roles with Clowney sidelined. Among the trio, Williams has the most streaming appeal for Sunday's slate. He finished with 14 points and eight rebounds across 33 minutes on Friday. Fantasy managers in need of help on Sunday should consider adding Williams.

January 25, 2026
Detroit Pistons guard
Caris LeVert (illness) has been ruled out ahead of Sunday's game against the Sacramento Kings. LeVert will miss his third straight game after being listed as doubtful on the injury report. His next chance to play will be Tuesday versus the Denver Nuggets. The absence of LeVert should mean increased roles for
Jaden Ivey and
Marcus Sasser. Neither guard has great upside right now, but Ivey is the better streaming option between the two with LeVert out.

January 25, 2026
Detroit Pistons guard
Cade Cunningham (wrist) is available to play ahead of Sunday's game against the Sacramento Kings. As expected, Cunningham will suit up for this game after being listed as probable on the injury report. He'll operate in his normal spot in the starting five. He sat out of Wednesday's game, but appears to be over the wrist injury now.
Daniss Jenkins will see his value take a hit with Cunningham back in the mix. Fantasy managers should get Cunningham active in their lineups.
--Andy WebbSource: NBA Injury Report
January 25, 2026
Sacramento Kings guard/forward
Zach LaVine (back) is questionable for Sunday's matchup against Detroit after being a late addition to the injury report with lower-back soreness. His status is a key swing factor for Sacramento's rotation. If LaVine sits,
Malik Monk would be in line for a sizable usage bump after averaging 18.5 points, 3.5 assists, and 2.0 rebounds over his last four games while shooting 54.0 percent from the field.
Dennis Schroder would also see expanded minutes, but remains a volatile, matchup-driven option.

January 25, 2026
Golden State Warriors guard
Stephen Curry (knee) and guard
De'Anthony Melton (rest) are both questionable for Sunday's rescheduled matchup in Minnesota, with the Warriors now staring at a Sunday-Monday back-to-back. Curry logged 38 points in his last outing, but could get a maintenance day with knee soreness lingering, while Melton may also be managed after heavy recent usage. Any absence would open extra ball-handling and wing minutes for
Brandin Podziemski,
Pat Spencer,
Gary Payton II, and
Will Richard, with Podziemski offering the safest short-term fantasy floor if rotations thin.
--Brian DailisanSource: NBA Injury Report
January 25, 2026
Denver Nuggets forward
Peyton Watson (ankle) is questionable for Sunday's matchup in Memphis after sitting out Friday while managing soreness in both ankles. Given how thin Denver is up front, his status has clear fantasy implications.
Zeke Nnaji would be the primary beneficiary if Watson remains out after posting 11 points, 12 rebounds, and two blocks in 37 minutes against Milwaukee.
Julian Strawther would likely stay in the starting group but remains a fringe option, while
Spencer Jones offers volatile, minutes-driven appeal. Watson's outlook is shaky as Denver continues to deal with multiple injuries.
