Sacramento Kings center
Domantas Sabonis (ribs) is back on the injury report with a questionable designation ahead of Tuesday's encounter with the Denver Nuggets. On Sunday against the Minnesota Timberwolves, Sabonis returned to action after missing two games due to a ribcage contusion. However, he is still experiencing discomfort from the injury and may miss Tuesday night's game. Sabonis' absence has allowed
Drew Eubanks to log a few starts. The 28-year-old is averaging 10.7 points, 3.7 rebounds, and 2.7 blocks per game as a starter. On Tuesday, Eubanks could have added fantasy value again, although it will be a challenging matchup against a Nuggets team that allows the fourth-fewest points in the league to centers. Additionally,
Nikola Jokic's crew holds the ninth-highest rebounding rate.

Golden State Warriors point guard
Stephen Curry (illness) has been removed from the injury report ahead of Tuesday's tussle with the Oklahoma City Thunder. Golden State's leader has missed three games due to illness. The Warriors have limited Curry's workload early in the season to only 31.1 minutes per game, but he's still filled the box score regularly. Across eight appearances, Curry has averaged 26.8 points, 3.6 rebounds, 4.3 assists, and 1.5 steals. On Tuesday, Curry faces a very difficult matchup against a team that has allowed the second-fewest points to point guards this season.
Will Richard and
Buddy Hield are likely to lose playing time with Curry's return, while the offensive usage of
Jimmy Butler III and
Jonathan Kuminga will decline.

Philadelphia 76ers center
Joel Embiid (knee) will return to action on Tuesday against the Boston Celtics. The former MVP continues to manage a knee injury and was rested for Sunday's matchup against the Detroit Pistons. In Saturday's win over the Toronto Raptors, Embiid had his best outing of the season with 29 points. While Embiid is logging only 23.3 minutes per game, his productivity has been at a good level, with averages of 19.7 points, 5.5 rebounds, 3.3 assists, and 1.5 blocks. With him back in the mix,
Andre Drummond must drop to the bench for Tuesday's matchup, which will make it difficult for him to have an impact in fantasy basketball.

Cleveland Cavaliers guard
Darius Garland (toe) won't return to Monday's game against the Miami Heat. The 26-year-old didn't play in Saturday's win over the Chicago Bulls, the second of back-to-back games for the team. As expected, Garland returned for Monday's meeting with Miami. However, he suffered a toe injury during the contest and was ruled out, finishing with 11 points, five rebounds, two assists, and one steal in 19 minutes. Garland missed seven games to begin the 2025 campaign while recovering from toe surgery. Although it's still too early to tell, there's reason to believe he may at least miss the rematch with the Heat on Wednesday night. There should be an update on Tuesday regarding his condition. If Garland isn't out there on Wednesday,
Donovan Mitchell will take over most of the ball-handling duties.
Sam Merrill,
Lonzo Ball, and
Jaylon Tyson would also be in line for more work, with one of them likely to enter the starting lineup.

Philadelphia 76ers guard
Jared McCain (knee) is listed as available for Tuesday's game against the Boston Celtics. The second-year player has only played two games this season after last season's hot start ended with an injury. McCain looked like the early Rookie of the Year favorite in his first season to set high expectations for his return to the court. Unfortunately, limitations have seen him forced to sit out back-to-backs. Philadelphia has played the 21-year-old a total 24.0 minutes across the two games. McCain has yet to score with averages of 0.0 points, 0.5 rebounds and 1.5 assists this season. The 76ers have a loaded backcourt with
Tyrese Maxey,
VJ Edgecombe and
Quentin Grimes making it hard to get the returning youngster easily involved. Philadelphia could opt to play McCain less minutes Tuesday with rotations stricter for the in-season tournament games.

Boston Celtics forward
Sam Hauser (wrist) is listed as probable for Tuesday's in-season tournament game against the Philadelphia 76ers. The Celtics already have a limited roster with
Jayson Tatum (Achilles) out and many great players from last season traded away. Hauser has been called upon in some big moments this season, but he's only playing one minute more than last season at 22.7 minutes per game. The 27-year-old averages 7.5 points, 3.1 rebounds and 1.5 assists per game for a team that needs currently help from everyone. Philadelphia allowing 118.5 points per game provides a nice fantasy matchup for Boston players with more team points expected. Hauser is likely going to play, but he'll have to get hot from three-point range to contribute strong from a fantasy perspective.

November 10, 2025
Brooklyn Nets center
Day'Ron Sharpe (hamstring) is listed as questionable for Tuesday's game against the Toronto Raptors. The reserve big man left Sunday's game against the New York Knicks due to left hamstring tightness. Brooklyn re-signed him in free agency to remain part of their rebuilding youth movement. Sharpe has averaged 6.7 points and 5.3 rebounds in 15.9 minutes per game for the Nets so far this season. Starting center
Nicolas Claxton could see more time on the court if the 24-year-old backup misses the game due to the in-season tournament games holding extra importance. Brooklyn may also use
Noah Clowney,
Jalen Wilson, and rookie
Danny Wolf more if necessary. Sharpe is a limited fantasy option and should be expected to have his usual numbers if he does suit up vs Toronto.

November 10, 2025
Chicago Bulls forward
Patrick Williams (finger) is listed as available for the Monday night matchup against the San Antonio Spurs. The sprained left finger led to a probable tag, but Williams was always expected to play in this game. Averages of 8.6 points, 3.0 rebounds, and 1.8 assists per game have made him a limited fantasy option off the bench. However,
Josh Giddey's (ankle) absence due to an ankle injury will see Chicago needing everyone to step up with more points, rebounds, and assists available for all rotation players. Williams should have his highest upside on Monday and more minutes if the injury is not severe enough to limit his play. The bench play of the 24-year-old has led to the Bulls trusting him more, and Monday may be his most important game yet this season.
--Joey HaverfordSource: NBA Injury Report
November 10, 2025
Milwaukee Bucks forward
Giannis Antetokounmpo (knee) is available for Monday's game versus the Dallas Mavericks. The probable tag led fantasy managers to believe the MVP candidate would be active, and it's been confirmed that he won't miss the second half of a back-to-back. Antetokounmpo is having another spectacular season, averaging 33.8 points, 12.3 rebounds, 6.2 assists, and 1.1 blocks per game, while shooting a career-best 63% from the field. Sunday's heartbreaking loss to the Houston Rockets saw the power forward call Monday's game a "must-win" in the post-game press conference to make this an enticing fantasy night. Extra motivation being expressed by an All-NBA player entering a game is always a positive. Milwaukee has shown that they have their best chance at winning when Antetokounmpo's usage is very high.

November 10, 2025
Dallas Mavericks center
Dereck Lively II (knee) remains out for Monday's clash with the Milwaukee Bucks. The 21-year-old has averaged a career-low 5.3 points, 5.0 rebounds, and 1.3 blocks this season. He's also been limited to three games due to a sprained right knee. With
Anthony Davis (calf) also sidelined, the Mavs will rely mostly on
Daniel Gafford. However, Gafford has been dealing with his own ailments this season, so he's been logging around 20 minutes per contest.
P.J. Washington may also spend more time at the five, with
Brandon Williams and
Naji Marshall getting additional action from off the bench.
--Dennis ClausenSource: Ron Harrod Jr.
November 10, 2025
Chicago Bulls guard
Josh Giddey (ankle) has been ruled out for Monday's game against the San Antonio Spurs. Saturday's game against the Cleveland Cavaliers saw Giddey fall to the floor after a crossover by
De'Andre Hunter and injuring his ankle in a memorable moment. There was hope of the 23-year-old suiting up against San Antonio, but he will miss his first game of the season. Giddey has been Chicago's best player this season, with averages of 21.4 points, 9.6 rebounds, and 9.3 assists per game.
Ayo Dosunmu will move into the starting lineup and should have a stronger fantasy upside with increased minutes. Other Bulls starters
Nikola Vucevic,
Matas Buzelis, and
Tre Jones should also see a fantasy uptick due to Giddey's absence opening up more stats across the box score.
--Joey HaverfordSource: NBA Injury Report
November 10, 2025
Dallas Mavericks center
Daniel Gafford (ankle) will play against the Bucks. Gafford has been banged up all year. The 27-year-old began the 2025 campaign by missing the first five games because of a knee injury. He injured his ankle a few games ago, resulting in appearances on the injury report ever since. However, it hasn't been enough to keep Gafford off the floor. With that said, he has been limited to around 20-25 minutes per contest, so he's not safest fantasy option, even with
Anthony Davis (calf) and
Dereck Lively II (knee) ruled out. That will remain the case until Gafford proves he's healthy enough to handle more minutes.
--Dennis ClausenSource: Ron Harrod Jr.
November 10, 2025
Dallas Mavericks forward/center
Anthony Davis (calf) remains out for Monday's game against the Milwaukee Bucks. AD injured his calf in the win over the Indiana Pacers on October 29, ending his night after only six minutes of work. Unfortunately, he's not ready to return, so his next chance to get on the floor will be on Wednesday versus the visiting Phoenix Suns.
Daniel Gafford (ankle) is available. However, he's been limited to 20-25 minutes per contest, severely restricting his fantasy value. Managers could see increased production out of
P.J. Washington and
Cooper Flagg. The same applies to
Brandon Williams,
Naji Marshall,
Max Christie, and
D'Angelo Russell.
--Dennis ClausenSource: Ron Harrod Jr.
November 10, 2025
Charlotte Hornets power forward
Miles Bridges (back) is probable for Monday night's matchup with the Los Angeles Lakers. Bridges leads the Hornets with 34.4 MPG. His 20.7 points, 7.2 rebounds, and 3.9 assists per game remain a strong complement to
LaMelo Ball. With Bridges likely to play, expect opportunities inside for
Ryan Kalkbrenner as Bridges, Ball, and
Kon Knueppel continue to space the floor and allow one-on-one looks inside. Charlotte has attempted 39.6 threes per game (10th in the league). Look for a high-scoring matchup as both the Hornets (119.4) and Lakers (116.8) rank in the bottom ten in defensive rating this season.

November 10, 2025
Los Angeles Lakers shooting guard
Austin Reaves (groin) has been upgraded to probable ahead of the team's Monday night matchup with the Charlotte Hornets. Reaves has been an integral piece of the team's 7-3 start to the season. He leads all Lakers with 37.9 minutes per game. The 27-year-old has averaged 31.1 points, 5.1 rebounds, 9.3 assists, and 1.4 steals per game as he helps steer the ship until
LeBron James (back) returns. Reaves should be started in all formats, as he continues to reward fantasy owners who took a chance on him coming into the season.
