Utah Jazz center
Jusuf Nurkic (illness) will return to the lineup on Sunday against the Toronto Raptors. Utah initially listed Nurkic as probable after he sat out Friday's loss to Brooklyn due to illness. Nurkic was in and out of the Jazz lineup throughout January, as winning currently isn't a focus for the team. In three of his last four appearances, Nurkic has posted a triple-double. He averaged 16.0 points, 12.1 rebounds, 7.3 assists, and 1.5 steals last month.
Kevin Love (illness) is also active on Sunday, which will be a blow for
Kyle Filipowski's fantasy prospects.

Detroit Pistons point guard
Cade Cunningham (hip) will play on Sunday against the Brooklyn Nets. The team has listed him as available after initially giving Cunningham a probable tag on the injury report. Detroit's leader is dealing with right hip soreness, but he also played through the issue on Friday against Golden State and didn't let it affect him. Across 35 minutes of action, Cunningham produced 29 points and 11 assists against the Warriors in a high-scoring game, giving him three double-doubles in four outings.

Miami Heat point guard
Davion Mitchell (shoulder) will return to work on Sunday against the Chicago Bulls after missing six games. Miami has upgraded Mitchell from probable to available. Mitchell's return will primarily affect the playing time of
Kasparas Jakucionis and
Dru Smith. However, with
Tyler Herro (ribs),
Norman Powell (personal), and
Nikola Jovic (hip) all out, there will still be opportunities for Miami's second echelon to make an impact.

Chicago Bulls guard/forward
Kevin Huerter (back) won't suit up for Sunday's rematch with Miami. He got the start when these clubs met on Saturday, finishing with nine points, seven rebounds, and five assists. Unfortunately, Huerter will sit this one out due to back spasms. With
Coby White and
Nikola Vucevic back in the lineup, Huerter's statistical ceiling would have been much lower, so his absence isn't a big loss for fantasy managers.

Miami Heat guard/forward
Norman Powell (personal) will miss a second consecutive game on Sunday against the Chicago Bulls. He has been ruled out for personal reasons after the team initially listed Powell as questionable. With Powell out,
Myron Gardner impressed against the Bulls on Saturday with a 12-point, 11-rebound double-double in his first career start. He could have a larger role again on Sunday, though
Davion Mitchell's (shoulder) return will have a significant impact on the rotation.

Chicago Bulls forward/center
Jalen Smith (calf) won't play on Sunday against Miami. It will be Smith's second-straight absence because of tightness in his right calf, so his next chance to suit up will be on Tuesday versus the Milwaukee Bucks. Fortunately,
Nikola Vucevic will return after getting the night off on Saturday to rest.
Ayo Dosunmu, who had 29 points, eight boards, and nine assists on Saturday evening, should see even more work, especially with
Josh Giddey (hamstring) and
Tre Jones (hamstring) also sidelined.

Sacramento Kings point guard
Russell Westbrook (foot) will miss a third straight game on Sunday against the Washington Wizards. He can't play against his former team due to a right foot contusion. The team initially listed Westbrook as questionable for the game. Fortunately for Sacramento,
Malik Monk (ankle) has been cleared to play, and he looks set to have a major role in the rotation.
Devin Carter and
Nique Clifford could also be more involved due to the lack of backcourt options on the team.

Sacramento Kings guard
Malik Monk (ankle) will suit up on Sunday against the Washington Wizards. An ankle issue initially put his availability for the game in doubt.
Russell Westbrook (foot) will miss a third consecutive game, and
Dennis Schroder has been traded to Cleveland along with
Keon Ellis, leaving a lot of backcourt minutes to fill. Monk is set to benefit from the situation on Sunday against one of the weakest defenses in the league.

February 1, 2026
Chicago Bulls guard
Josh Giddey (hamstring) won't play in Sunday's rematch with the Heat, marking his third-straight absence. The left hamstring injury isn't anything new, although fantasy managers are starting to get even more concerned at this point. Giddey's next chance to suit up will be on Tuesday versus Milwaukee. In the meantime,
Coby White,
Matas Buzelis,
Ayo Dosunmu, and
Nikola Vucevic should see even more scoring opportunities, especially with
Kevin Huerter (back),
Tre Jones (hamstring), and
Jalen Smith (calf) also on the shelf.

Sacramento Kings forward/center
Domantas Sabonis (back) has been ruled out for Sunday's matchup against the Washington Wizards. He was added late to the injury report with lower back soreness, and the team has downgraded his status from questionable to out. For knee injury management, Sabonis also missed Friday's game against the Boston Celtics. As a result,
Maxime Raynaud moved to the first unit, posting a 14-point, 14-rebound double-double. It could be a big night again for the French rookie on Sunday, as centers have dominated against Washington all season.

Washington Wizards forward/center
Alexandre Sarr (calf) will miss Sunday's contest against the Sacramento Kings. The team has downgraded Sarr from questionable to out, resulting in his first absence of 2026.
Marvin Bagley III (back) will return from a five-game absence and could be heavily involved against his former team. The Duke product has done a decent job this season, averaging 10.0 points and 5.7 rebounds in 19.3 minutes per game.
--Taavi PailkSource: NBA Injury Report
February 1, 2026
Brooklyn Nets forward
Michael Porter Jr. (personal) won't play on Sunday versus Detroit. He had a game-high 38 points on Friday night against the Denver Nuggets, his former club. However, Porter will now miss his second-straight contest after sitting out Saturday's win over the Utah Jazz. With
Noah Clowney (back) also out,
Egor Demin,
Danny Wolf, and
Cam Thomas are the favorites to lead the way offensively in a meeting with a tough defensive squad.

According to ESPN's Shams Charania, the Trail Blazers traded center
Duop Reath (foot) to the Hawks in exchange for guard
Vit Krejci. The 29-year-old hasn't had a quality season, averaging a career-low 2.9 points and 1.2 rebounds in 32 appearances. He also suffered a stress fracture in his right foot and recently underwent successful season-ending surgery. Reath, who is anticipated to make a full recovery, will be an unrestricted free agent this offseason, so it's unknown what the future holds. However, until he establishes a consistent role with a club, he's not worth adding to any fantasy roster.

According to ESPN's Shams Charania, the Atlanta Hawks traded guard
Vit Krejci to the Portland Trail Blazers in exchange for center
Duop Reath and two future second-round draft picks. Krejci began his career playing with the Oklahoma City Thunder before spending the last four seasons in Atlanta, most recently amassing a career-high 9.0 points while shooting 42.3% from deep throughout the 2025 campaign. However, he hasn't been productive enough to warrant routine starting consideration in any fantasy format. Although Krejci might get more opportunities to produce in Portland, he'll need to do more moving ahead to convince fantasy managers he's worth adding to the roster.

February 1, 2026
Cleveland Cavaliers guard
Darius Garland (toe) will not play Sunday against Portland as he continues to recover from a Grade 1 right big toe sprain and awaits re-evaluation. His absence keeps
Donovan Mitchell in a usage-heavy role and continues to open minutes for
Jaylon Tyson, who has averaged 16.8 points, 6.2 rebounds, and 4.2 assists over his last five starts.
Lonzo Ball has struggled with efficiency and remains unreliable. Cleveland is still integrating newly acquired
Keon Ellis and
Dennis Schroder, leaving Tyson as the most stable short-term fantasy option.
