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.

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.

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.

Milwaukee Bucks point guard
Kevin Porter Jr. (back) is on the injury report with a questionable tag ahead of Wednesday's meeting with the Detroit Pistons. Porter Jr. exited Monday's loss to the Washington Wizards with lower back spasms and may now land back on the shelf after just returning from injury. Before he left the action on Monday, Porter Jr. was having a superb game, posting 30 points with 12-for-15 shooting. Players like
Ryan Rollins, A.J. Green, and
Gary Trent Jr. will soak up the available minutes if Porter Jr. doesn't get cleared for Wednesday's action.

Chicago Bulls guard
Coby White (calf, illness) won't play in Wednesday's contest against the Brooklyn Nets. He will miss a third consecutive game. Initially, White was expected to return to the lineup for Monday's tilt against the Orlando Magic, but he had to skip the game due to illness. With White on the shelf,
Ayo Dosunmu is expected to receive another start. He has been a solid fantasy contributor in the first unit this season, averaging 18.4 points, 3.0 rebounds, and 3.4 assists. The Nets are ranked 29th in defensive efficiency, making Wednesday's game a very favorable fantasy matchup for Dosunmu and the Bulls.

Cleveland Cavaliers point guard
Darius Garland (toe) isn't on the injury report ahead of Wednesday's contest against the Portland Trail Blazers. Garland continues to manage a toe injury and didn't play in Monday's win over the Indiana Pacers. In 2025-26, Garland has been limited to seven outings, averaging 14.7 points, 2.9 rebounds, and 6.9 assists. He has logged 30-plus minutes in back-to-back games, so it seems Garland is close to being ready to handle his normal workload. On Wednesday,
Dean Wade will likely move to the bench to accommodate Garland's return. It's a good matchup for the two-time All-Star, as Portland allows the second-most fantasy points in the league to point guards.

Orlando Magic forward
Paolo Banchero (groin) has been ruled out for a 10th consecutive game. He is currently limited to non-contact work at practice and remains without a timetable for his return.
Tristan da Silva looks set for another start on Wednesday against the San Antonio Spurs. However, the 24-year-old has seen his production fall off the cliff lately and couldn't even score in Monday's win over the Chicago Bulls. With Banchero sidelined,
Franz Wagner and
Desmond Bane continue to lead the Magic offense. The two scored basically half of the team's points (62) in Monday's 125-120 victory.

Philadelphia 76ers guard
Quentin Grimes (calf) has been ruled out ahead of Tuesday's game versus the Washington Wizards. He started the day off with a probable tag, but has now been downgraded to out. Grimes played 47 minutes during the double-overtime loss to the Atlanta Hawks. It appears Grimes picked up the injury during that game, but should be considered day-to-day for now.
Justin Edwards and
Jared McCain should split up the playing time with Grimes unavailable. McCain is the more appealing streaming option between the two due to his scoring ability. McCain has scored 15 points or more in three of his last five games.

Philadelphia 76ers forward
Paul George (knee, back) is officially available to suit up ahead of Tuesday's game against the Washington Wizards. George continues to carry a questionable tag, but has been able to suit up in each of the last three games. The veteran forward has been dealing with a couple of injuries, but continues to play through them. He recorded a season-high five steals to go along with 16 points and seven rebounds during Sunday's game. George should see nearly 30 minutes of action with
Quentin Grimes (calf) remaining on the sideline. Fantasy managers should double-check that George is in their lineups ahead of tip-off.

Charlotte Hornets guard
LaMelo Ball (wrist) is tagged as probable ahead of Wednesday's game against the New York Knicks. Ball has been battling with wrist soreness, but is expected to play through the pain. It didn't seem to affect his performance, as he scored 12 points with 14 assists during Monday's game. The absence of
Brandon Miller (shoulder) should mean increased ball-handling responsibilities for Ball. It doesn't seem like fantasy managers should be worried about the wrist issue right now.

Charlotte Hornets guard/forward
Brandon Miller (shoulder) has been ruled out ahead of Wednesday's game versus the New York Knicks. Miller is set to miss his second straight game after being scratched from Monday's contest due to a shoulder issue. It's worth noting that Miller missed time earlier in the season due to a left shoulder injury. It's possible that Miller re-aggravated the issue during Saturday's game. Regardless, Miller will miss his second straight game, but is tagged as day-to-day ahead of Friday's matchup versus the Toronto Raptors. His absence on Wednesday should mean more run for
Sion James and
Collin Sexton. Between the two, Sexton is the better fantasy option with six-straight games with 15 points or more.

Brad Rowland of the Locked On Podcast Network reports that Atlanta Hawks center
Kristaps Porzingis (illness) won't play Wednesday night versus the Los Angeles Clippers. Porzingis will be held out of action for the fourth consecutive contest due to illness. Despite playing in only 12 games this campaign, the 30-year-old big man is still a valuable fantasy asset as he's averaged 18.7 points, 5.9 rebounds, and 1.6 blocks in 26.3 minutes. It's unknown if he'll be ready to go for Friday's matchup with Denver. In the meantime, while Porzingis is out,
Onyeka Okongwu remains a must-start at center in all fantasy formats. Okongwu is averaging 18.8 points and 7.3 rebounds across 10 starts this season.

Washington Wizards forward
Kyshawn George (toe) has been upgraded to available ahead of Tuesday's game against the Philadelphia 76ers. George was questionable coming into this game due to a left big toe contusion. He played 31 minutes during Monday's game, so it was unclear if the Wizards would be cautious during the second leg of the back-to-back set. George is looking for better results after going 3-for-11 from the floor during Monday's game. He figures to play around 30 minutes again with
Khris Middleton (rest) unavailable on Tuesday. Fantasy managers should make sure to get George in their lineups ahead of Tuesday's tip-off.

December 2, 2025
Milwaukee Bucks forward/center
Giannis Antetokounmpo (adductor) is listed as probable for Wednesday's matchup with the Detroit Pistons. The former MVP is managing a left adductor injury, but he will likely be ready to go by Wednesday. Giannis finished with 26 points, seven rebounds, four assists, one steal and one block on Monday against Washington after he was considered probable before the contest. Through 16 games this season, the 30-year-old star forward continues to be a top asset for fantasy managers, averaging 30.6 points, 10.7 rebounds, and 6.4 assists per contest.

December 2, 2025
Denver Nuggets center
Nikola Jokic (wrist) is on the injury report with a probable designation for Wednesday's matchup with the Indiana Pacers. The superstar center continues to nurse a left wrist sprain, but it looks like he will play through the injury again. Jokic hasn't missed any games this season, averaging 29.0 points, 12.8 rebounds, and 11.1 assists. He's always a must-start fantasy-wise whenever he takes the floor.
