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.

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.

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.

Denver Nuggets point guard
Jamal Murray (ankle) is considered questionable for Wednesday's matchup with the Indiana Pacers due to a sprained right ankle. Murray's injury occurred during Monday's 131-121 loss to Dallas. The 28-year-old star guard has played in 19 of 20 Nuggets games this season, averaging 23.3 points, 4.5 rebounds, 6.7 assists and 1.1 steals across 34.8 minutes per contest. If Murray is unavailable,
Bruce Brown will likely start at point guard and provide fantasy managers a decent streaming option on Wednesday evening.

Washington Wizards center
Alexandre Sarr (adductor) won't suit up against the Philadelphia 76ers on Tuesday. The 2024 No. 2 overall pick will miss his second game in a row due to a sore right adductor. His next chance to get back on the floor comes on Thursday against the Celtics. The 22-year-old big man is having a productive campaign so far, averaging 19.1 points, 8.6 rebounds, 3.3 assists, and 2.0 blocks.
Marvin Bagley III and
Tristan Vukcevic will both see action at center with Sarr out this evening. Bagley is an excellent streaming option, as he finished with 22 points and eight rebounds across 29 minutes on Monday while Sarr was sidelined.

According to ESPN's Shams Charania, New Orleans Pelicans forward
Zion Williamson (adductor) will be out for an extended period and will be re-evaluated in three weeks due to a right adductor injury. Williamson has been limited to 10 appearances this campaign, averaging 22.1 points, 5.6 rebounds, 4.0 assists, and 0.5 blocks in 31 minutes per contest. Now, with Zion out at least to the end of December,
Saddiq Bey,
Derik Queen and
Micah Peavy will be assigned larger roles to help out the team's frontcourt.

December 2, 2025
Washington Wizards forward
Khris Middleton (injury management) will not play Tuesday on the second night of the team's back-to-back when they visit the Sixers in Philadelphia. Middleton has played 15 minutes with the Wizards, averaging 10.1 points, 4.3 rebounds, 3.5 assists, and 0.7 steals per game. Without Middleton,
Cam Whitmore and
Justin Champagnie should both set up for more work on Tuesday, especially if Kyshawn Goerge (toe, questionable) is out as well.

December 2, 2025
Washington Wizards guard
Kyshawn George (toe) played 31 minutes on Monday night but is listed as questionable with a left big toe contusion for the second game of the team's back-to-back. George had nine points, five assists, and three rebounds in the Wizards' win in Milwaukee, and the team has a rare chance for consecutive victories with their stop in Philadelphia on Tuesday. George is averaging 15.4 points, 5.9 rebounds, and 4.8 assists in his 17 games his season, and he has shown a very high ceiling as a fantasy contributor, even though he has been very boom or bust. If George is out Tuesday,
Cam Whitmore will likely take on a huge role with veteran
Khris Middleton (rest) ruled out.

December 2, 2025
New Orleans Pelicans forward
Trey Murphy III (elbow) will be back in action on Tuesday against the Timberwolves after missing the last two games. Murphy is averaging 19.7 points, 6.2 rebounds, 3.2 assists, and 1.7 steals per game in 19 contests. He has had a high usage rate this year, especially in games when
Zion Williamson (adductor, questionable) has been sidelined. Murphy's return will be huge for the Pelicans as they try to get just their fourth win of the season. Murphy has a high ceiling as a result of his usage, and you can get him back in your fantasy lineups as normal on Tuesday night in his return.

December 2, 2025
New Orleans Pelicans center
Yves Missi (foot, ankle) was listed as questionable by the Pelicans for their Tuesday night matchup against the visiting Timberwolves. Missi started on Sunday against the Lakers, but he had come off the bench in his previous six games. In his last seven games, he's averaging 6.3 points, 7.0 rebounds, 1.3 blocked shots, and 1.1 assists in 21.6 minutes per game. He's been backing up rookie
Derik Queen, who could get more minutes against the big front line of the Timberwolves.
Kevon Looney could also get a few more minutes in the second unit if Missi is sidelined.
--Zach ThompsonSource: NBA Injury Report
December 2, 2025
New Orleans Pelicans forward
Zion Williamson (adductor) was downgraded to questionable on Tuesday afternoon, before his team hosts the Timberwolves. Williamson missed Sunday's game with injury maintenance on his hamstring, but he now appears to be dealing with a new issue--right adductor soreness. Williamson has been limited to 10 games this season, averaging 22.1 points, 5.6 rebounds, 4.0 assists, and 0.5 blocks in 31 minutes per game. If Zion is out,
Saddiq Bey,
Micah Peavy, and
Derik Queen could get more work in the frontcourt, especially since
Yves Missi (foot, ankle) is also questionable.

December 2, 2025
Boston Celtics center
Neemias Queta (ankle) missed two of the last three games for the Celtics, but he's been upgraded from probable to available for Tuesday night's game against the Knicks. Queta played 29 minutes on Saturday and posted an impressive 19 points with 18 rebounds and two blocks. The 26-year-old is averaging 9.8 points, 8.5 rebounds, 1.6 assists, and 1.4 blocks in 23.9 minutes per game and has started each of the 18 games he has played. With Queta's return,
Xavier Tillman will most likely be relegated back to the bench after his spot start as a result.
