Detroit Pistons guard/forward
Caris LeVert (knee) is considered questionable for Friday's clash against the Brooklyn Nets. He may have to skip a meeting with his former team due to a sore left knee. As a bench piece in Detroit, LeVert hasn't provided much fantasy production this year, settling for 6.2 points, 1.2 rebounds, and 1.8 assists in 19.0 minutes. If he can suit up on Friday, LeVert could see increased offensive usage due to
Tobias Harris' (ankle) absence. Ronald Holland II and
Javonte Green are set to share LeVert's minutes in the second unit if he doesn't play.

Phoenix Suns guard/forward
Grayson Allen (illness) has shaken off a questionable tag and will play in Thursday's matchup against the Los Angeles Clippers. Allen was a late addition to the injury report due to illness, but the team has now upgraded his status to available. At the start of the season, Allen has produced strong performances as a starter, but he is likely to drop to the bench on Thursday, as
Jalen Green (hamstring) is ready to make his Suns debut. Given his battle with illness, a lighter workload may even benefit Allen, who has averaged nearly 35 minutes a night so far.

Phoenix Suns guard
Jalen Green (hamstring) will officially be available on Thursday night against the Los Angeles Clippers. He will make his long-awaited Suns debut after recovering from a right hamstring strain. Suns head coach Jordan Ott told reporters that there is "a target number of minutes" for Green in the game, so the team plans to be cautious with his workload. This means that
Grayson Allen (illness) is likely to still have a big role in the rotation, even if he's relegated to the bench on Thursday.

San Antonio Spurs point guard
De'Aaron Fox (hamstring) will miss Friday's I-10 Rivalry matchup against the Houston Rockets. The star guard hasn't played at all this season due to a hamstring strain, and it's still unclear when the Spurs will have him back. San Antonio's backcourt also lost
Dylan Harper (calf) this week, putting a lot of pressure on
Stephon Castle and
Devin Vassell to perform well. Both players had a tough time on Wednesday night against the Los Angeles Lakers, combining for 8-for-25 shooting. Due to Fox's absence,
Julian Champagnie has also had a larger role on the team, logging time as a starter. He's been hit-and-miss from a fantasy perspective, posting 8.4 points and 6.3 rebounds per game.

Cleveland Cavaliers forward
De'Andre Hunter (illness) is expected to rejoin the lineup on Friday night against the Washington Wizards, as the team has listed him as probable on the injury report. Hunter wasn't available on Wednesday against the Philadelphia 76ers due to illness. He was replaced in the starting lineup by
Darius Garland, who made his season debut. On Friday, we will likely see Hunter return to the first unit at the expense of
Jaylon Tyson. Early this season, Hunter has battled some shooting woes, but he's still averaging 18.4 points a night, while grabbing 5.6 rebounds and dishing out 3.0 assists.

Cleveland Cavaliers point guard
Lonzo Ball (knee) won't be in the lineup on Friday against the Washington Wizards. He will be rested for the first leg of a back-to-back. Ball also sat out one game during Cleveland's first back-to-back of the season. Since
Darius Garland made his season debut in Wednesday's win over the Philadelphia 76ers, the Cavaliers can afford to rest Ball even more often if needed.
Sam Merrill and
Craig Porter Jr. could get more work on Friday with Ball sidelined. Merrill has shown hot shooting form early in the season and is worth a look in fantasy leagues. He's averaging 16.6 points per game on 55 percent three-point shooting.

Detroit Pistons forward
Tobias Harris (ankle) will miss a third straight game on Friday against the Brooklyn Nets. The veteran has been forced to exit the lineup this week due to an ankle sprain. While losing Harris has been a blow for Detroit, the team has continued to win, with
Isaiah Stewart impressing as his replacement in the starting lineup. The 24-year-old has averaged 18.0 points, 10.0 rebounds, and 3.5 blocks over the past two games. Against a weak Nets squad, there's a strong possibility Stewart will have another fine outing.

Washington Wizards forward
Khris Middleton (elbow) is not on the injury report for Friday's game against the Cleveland Cavaliers. The veteran has missed two games with an elbow issue. Middleton plays a modest role with the Wizards team, but he will occupy a starting spot, sending
Justin Champagnie back to the second unit. In six appearances this season, Middleton has averaged 11.3 points, 4.5 rebounds, and 2.2 assists in 24.8 minutes. Considering his lengthy injury history, there's a good chance Middleton will once again exit the lineup when Washington heads out for the second leg of a back-to-back on Saturday night against the Dallas Mavericks.

Washington Wizards guard/forward
Bilal Coulibaly (lower leg) will not be available on Friday night against the Cleveland Cavaliers. He made an early exit against the Boston Celtics on Wednesday after a hard fall and has been ruled out with left lower leg tightness. On Wednesday, Coulibaly was playing only his fourth game of the season after missing the start of the campaign due to a thumb injury. With Coulibaly unavailable,
Bub Carrington was a starter at the beginning of the year, and he may now return to the first unit. The 20-year-old sophomore has averaged 10.7 points, 4.7 rebounds, and 5.0 assists in a starting role this season.

November 6, 2025
Brooklyn Nets guard/forward
Cam Thomas (hamstring) has been ruled out for Friday's game against the Detroit Pistons. This isn't surprising, since Thomas missed most of Wednesday's contest against the Indiana Pacers due to a hamstring problem. Thomas is Brooklyn's second-highest scorer, averaging 21.4 points for the year, and his absence will open up additional scoring opportunities for his teammates. At the same time, players like
Tyrese Martin and
Terance Mann could be more involved in the rotation. Mann is already starting for the Nets, while Martin produced 16 points in 27 minutes off the bench on Wednesday night after Thomas' departure.

Charlotte Hornets point guard
LaMelo Ball (ankle) is listed as questionable for Friday's meeting with the Miami Heat. The star playmaker is nursing a right ankle injury that has already sidelined him for a couple of games. Before the injury, Ball had a fantastic start to the season, averaging 23.3 points, 7.8 rebounds, 9.8 assists, and 1.7 steals. He's a usage monster, and Ball's exit from the lineup has naturally led Charlotte's other starters to take on more offensive roles. Meanwhile, rookie
Sion James has made back-to-back starts in place of Ball. The Duke product has been inconsistent in his first few career outings and could struggle on Friday against the NBA's seventh-most efficient defense.

Minnesota Timberwolves guard/forward
Anthony Edwards (hamstring) is considered questionable for Friday's game against the Utah Jazz. Minnesota's star man returned from a four-game absence on Wednesday against the New York Knicks, but he may land back on the shelf on Friday night due to a hamstring injury he sustained a couple of weeks ago. On Wednesday, Edwards logged 29 minutes of action, finishing with 15 points, two rebounds, five assists, and two steals. He had his worst shooting performance of the season with a 5-for-13 effort.
Mike Conley gave up his starting spot against the Knicks, but he may now return to the first unit if Edwards has to sit out another game.

November 6, 2025
Miami Heat forward/center
Bam Adebayo (toe) has been listed as out for Friday's contest against the Charlotte Hornets. He sprained his left big toe on Wednesday night against the Denver Nuggets, exiting the action after logging only eight minutes of playing time. The team considers Adebayo day-to-day, meaning he isn't expected to be out for long. As a result of Adebayo's injury, Miami will likely bring
Kel'el Ware back into the starting unit on Friday. Ware posted his first double-double of the season against Denver with 13 points and 13 rebounds, and Adebayo's absence will significantly increase his fantasy value.

November 6, 2025
Dallas Mavericks forward/center
Anthony Davis (calf) has picked up a doubtful designation on the injury report ahead of Friday's tilt against the Memphis Grizzlies. The 10-time All-Star has missed three games with a left calf strain. While he isn't expected to return on Friday, the fact that he has now been upgraded to doubtful is a sign that Davis is making progress. Friday's game marks the start of a back-to-back for Dallas, so perhaps Davis could be ready to return as soon as Saturday. Davis' exit from the lineup has coincided with
Daniel Gafford's return. Gafford hasn't taken long to reach top form, averaging 12.0 points, 5.3 rebounds, 1.7 blocks, and 1.3 steals in 22.3 minutes.

Golden State Warriors forward/center
Draymond Green (ribs) looks to be on track to return to the lineup for Friday's tilt against the Denver Nuggets, as the team has listed him as probable on the injury report. A right rib contusion kept Green sidelined on Wednesday while the Warriors completed a back-to-back against the Sacramento Kings. The Warriors were also without
Stephen Curry (illness) and
Jimmy Butler III (back), which led to
Will Richard,
Brandin Podziemski, and
Moses Moody starting. Green has averaged 8.0 points, 6.1 rebounds, and 6.4 assists in 29.6 minutes during his 14th year in the Association.
