Orlando Magic center
Goga Bitadze (ankle) was added to the injury report for Tuesday's contest against the 76ers as questionable with ankle soreness. Bitadze has played 16.8 minutes per game off the bench in his 17 games this season, chipping in 6.2 points, 5.1 rebounds, 1.5 assists, and 1.2 blocks per game. If he's out on Tuesday,
Orlando Robinson and
Jonathan Isaac would likely handle the backup center role behind
Wendell Carter Jr.--Zach ThompsonSource: NBA Injury Report

Dallas Mavericks center
Dereck Lively II (foot) will miss at least the next three games, since he is currently being evaluated for swelling and discomfort in his right foot. He will not be available for the team's three-game road trip against the Lakers, Clippers, and Nuggets, and a further timeline will then be given for his return. Lively has played four of the Mavs' last seven games but just seven of their 19 games this season. When available, he has averaged 4.3 points, 5.3 rebounds, 1.9 assists, and 16.4 minutes. per game. While he's out,
Daniel Gafford is expected to continue to start for the Mavs, while
Dwight Powell and rookie
Moussa Cisse will get playing time off the bench.

Philadelphia 76ers forward
Paul George (ankle) was downgraded to out after initially being listed as probable on Tuesday night against the Orlando Magic. The 35-year-old has only played three games all season, averaging just 22.0 minutes per game and chipping in 13.3 points, 4.7 rebounds, and 3.7 assists. George played three of the last four games, but he'll be out on Tuesday, leaving more work for
Tyrese Maxey in the backcourt and
Dominick Barlow,
Trendon Watford, and
Justin Edwards on the wing.
Joel Embiid (knee) will also still be out, so Philly will once again be without its two stars as they host Orlando.

Philadelphia 76ers guard
Tyrese Maxey (shoulder) was listed as probable for Tuesday's matchup against the Orlando Magic, but he was upgraded to available after shootaround. Maxey sustained a shoulder issue on Sunday against Miami, but it won't keep him off the floor on Tuesday. Without some of his big-name teammates for most of the year, Maxey has posted big numbers with 33.0 points, 4.6 rebounds, 7.8 assists, and 1.6 steals. Last Thursday, Maxey went off for 54 points against the Bucks and has at least 24 points in five straight games, averaging 35 points per contest over that stretch.

Philadelphia 76ers center
Joel Embiid (knee) was downgraded from questionable to out for Tuesday's home game against the Orlando Magic. He will be missing an eighth straight game with a knee issue, but he does appear to be nearing a return, and his next opportunity to get back on the floor will be Friday in Brooklyn against the Nets. With Embiid out,
Andre Drummond will likely continue to start in his place. He has posted a double-double in seven of his last nine games, while averaging 11.2 points and 13.2 rebounds over that span. As a reserve, Drummond has averaged 16.6 minutes per game and hasn't been productive enough most nights to satisfy fantasy managers. Without Embiid, though, Drummond should remain fantasy relevant for at least Tuesday night.

Washington Wizards guard
Tre Johnson (hip) has been ruled out indefinitely after re-aggravating a lingering injury from his college days, and the team has yet to set a timetable for his return. Johnson averaged 11.8 points, 2.4 rebounds, 1.4 assists, 0.6 steals, and 0.2 blocks over his last five outings while shooting 50.0 percent from the field. The injury shift pushes more minutes to
Bub Carrington,
Corey Kispert, and
Bilal Coulibaly, giving Carrington some streaming appeal for assists and Kispert value for three-pointers.

November 25, 2025
Orlando Magic center
Goga Bitadze (ankle) is available for Tuesday's matchup with the 76ers after missing one game, putting him back into his usual role behind
Wendell Carter Jr. (ankle), who is also returning. Bitadze averaged 6.0 points, 5.6 rebounds, 2.0 assists, 1.0 steal, and 1.0 block across his last five appearances while shooting 77.8 percent from the field, giving him niche value in deeper formats. His return likely bumps
Orlando Robinson out of the rotation, and managers seeking field-goal percentage or defensive boosts can deploy Bitadze in specialist builds.

November 25, 2025
Orlando Magic center
Wendell Carter Jr. (ankle) is off the injury report for Tuesday's matchup in Philadelphia after missing the previous game, putting him back on track for starter-level minutes. He has delivered 11.4 points, 6.8 rebounds, 2.8 assists, 0.6 steals, and 0.8 blocks in 31.6 minutes across his last five outings while shooting 51.4 percent from the field. His return, along with
Goga Bitadze (ankle) also coming back from a one-game absence, should stabilize Orlando's center rotation and likely push
Orlando Robinson to the fringe or out of the mix entirely.

November 25, 2025
Orlando Magic guard
Jalen Suggs (left knee, injury management) missed Sunday's game against the Celtics, but he'll be ready to go after not being listed on Tuesday's injury report when his Magic face the Sixers. Suggs has played 13 games this season, but the team continues to carefully monitor his workload. He has produced 14.4 points, 4.6 assists, 3.8 rebounds, and 1.5 steals in 23.9 minutes per game, and he'll be back in the lineup for a potential showdown with
Tyrese Maxey (shoulder, probable) on Tuesday night.

November 25, 2025
Atlanta Hawks guard
Luke Kennard (hip) is questionable for Tuesday's game in Washington after missing the prior contest, putting his short-term fantasy outlook in doubt. The former Duke standout has averaged 6.6 points, 1.2 rebounds, 1.2 assists, 2.4 steals, and 1.0 block in 17.8 minutes across his last five games. He's shooting 44.0 percent from the field and 47.4 percent from deep in that stretch, though his role has tightened during Atlanta's recent guard shuffle. If he sits again,
Vit Krejci and
Keaton Wallace should continue absorbing extra minutes, though both remain fringe options for deeper formats.
--Brian DailisanSource: NBA Injury Report
November 25, 2025
Philadelphia 76ers center
Adem Bona (ankle) will miss Tuesday's home game against Orlando. He has missed the last four games for the Sixers, leaving more time for
Andre Drummond,
Dominick Barlow, and
Trendon Watford at center.
Joel Embiid (knee) is questionable and could take some of the minutes in the middle as well if he's ready to return. It looks like Bona may have missed this window of opportunity to fill in for Embiid. In his 12 games this year, he's only averaged 2.2 points, 3.4 rebounds, and 1.7 blocks in 15 minutes per game.

November 25, 2025
Washington Wizards forward/center
Marvin Bagley III (hip) is questionable for Tuesday against Atlanta after missing the past two games. Before the injury, he averaged 9.0 points, 4.4 rebounds, 1.4 assists, 1.2 steals, and 1.0 block in 18.5 minutes across his last five outings. His absence has pushed more frontcourt work to second-year big
Alexandre Sarr, who posted 16 points and 11 rebounds in his last game, while
Tristan Vukcevic added 12 points and eight boards in 20 minutes. Sarr holds steady value, and Vukcevic remains a deeper-league streaming option until Bagley returns.
--Brian DailisanSource: NBA Injury Report
November 25, 2025
Washington Wizards guard/forward
Kyshawn George (illness) is questionable for Tuesday's matchup with Atlanta after posting 17 points, 12 rebounds, and seven assists with four steals in his last outing. He has averaged 18.0 points, 7.0 rebounds, and 6.4 assists across his past five games, so even a brief absence would redistribute wing minutes.
Corey Kispert posted 20 points, five rebounds, and five assists in 37 minutes.
Cam Whitmore chipped in 20 points and seven boards across 18 minutes, while
Bilal Coulibaly's recent best sits at 13 points and four rebounds. All three could see modest bumps in minutes and touches if George sits.
--Brian DailisanSource: NBA Injury Report
November 25, 2025
Orlando Magic forward
Paolo Banchero (groin) will remain on the sidelines for a seventh straight game on Tuesday against the Philadelphia 76ers. He continues to nurse a left groin strain, and there isn't a timetable for Banchero's return. During his absence,
Tristan da Silva had had additional fantasy value as Banchero's replacement in the first unit. He has posted 13.3 points, 5.2 rebounds, and 2.0 assists per game in a starting role. Additionally,
Franz Wagner,
Desmond Bane, and
Jalen Suggs receive more offensive touches while Banchero is injured.

Los Angeles Lakers center
Deandre Ayton (knee) has been ruled out for Tuesday's contest against the Los Angeles Clippers. He sustained a knee contusion in Sunday's win over the Utah Jazz, exiting after only 13 minutes. Prior to Sunday's matchup, Ayton was on a nice run of three consecutive double-doubles. He has averaged 15.5 points and 8.4 rebounds in 29.2 minutes as a Laker this season. When Ayton missed his first game of the season earlier this month against the Miami Heat,
Jaxson Hayes started in his place. He had 15 points, five rebounds, and one block. Hayes is likely to get the starting nod again on Tuesday, with
Maxi Kleber taking over backup duties. The Clippers allow the eighth-most fantasy points in the league to centers, making this a good matchup for Hayes.
