Denver Nuggets forward/center
Aaron Gordon (hamstring) will sit out Wednesday's contest against the New Orleans Pelicans. Gordon was a late addition to the injury report and was initially handed a questionable designation. The veteran is managing a hamstring problem and may also miss time later in the week, when Denver has a back-to-back scheduled. With Gordon unavailable,
Tim Hardaway Jr.,
Bruce Brown, and
Spencer Jones are likely to absorb more minutes. Of the three players, Hardaway Jr. offers the most fantasy upside.

Dallas Mavericks guard/forward
Cooper Flagg (illness) has been ruled out for Wednesday's matchup against the New York Knicks. He was added to the injury report late due to illness, and the team has now officially ruled him out. The top pick of this year's draft will miss his first career game. With no
Anthony Davis (calf) on Wednesday either, the Mavericks offense will flow through
P.J. Washington,
Max Christie,
Brandon Williams, and
Klay Thompson.

Miami Heat forward/center
Bam Adebayo (toe) will be available against the Golden State Warriors on Wednesday night. The Heat have uprgaded his status from questionable to available. Adebayo was out for six games after spraining his left big toe. As a result of his return, Kel'el Ware will likely land in the second unit for Wednesday's game. However, Ware should still have a significant role to play in the rotation, and there might even be more minutes than usual available for Miami's bench mob on Wednesday, as the Warriors will play with a weakened team.

Charlotte Hornets guard
Tre Mann (ankle) will be out of the lineup on Wednesday against the Indiana Pacers due to left ankle soreness. Mann hasn't missed a game this season, averaging 10.1 points, 3.1 assists, and 3.1 rebounds in 22.0 minutes per contest across 14 outings. He doesn't offer ton from a fantasy perspective when available as
LaMelo Ball,
Collin Sexton, and
Kon Knueppel also log a ton of backcourt minutes for the Hornets.

Cleveland Cavaliers guard/forward
Sam Merrill (hand) will miss Wednesday's contest against the Houston Rockets. He was initially listed as questionable for the game after Merrill injured his shooting hand in Monday's win over the Milwaukee Bucks. With
Darius Garland (toe) still absent,
Nae'Qwan Tomlin will make his second career start. Tomlin finished his first career start with a 24-point, 12-rebound double-double. However, it came in a contest that featured only
Jarrett Allen from Cleveland's big guns. Tomlin will likely be limited to a complementary role in Wednesday's game.

Houston Rockets forward
Jabari Smith Jr. (knee) will play in Wednesday's contest against the Cleveland Cavaliers. The team has upgraded Smith Jr.'s status from questionable to active. Smith Jr. has a chance to record a second consecutive double-double on Wednesday. However, he faces a tough battle in the frontcourt against
Evan Mobley and
Jarrett Allen. To counter the duo, Houston will also have
Steven Adams in the starting lineup on Wednesday.

November 19, 2025
Golden State Warriors guard/forward
Buddy Hield (illness) will be active against the Miami Heat on Wednesday. He managed to play through an illness on Tuesday against the Orlando Magic and will attempt to do the same on Wednesday night. Hield has been limited to 6.6 points per game this season. However, he could have a larger offensive role in Wednesday's game, as the Warriors are going to be without
Stephen Curry (ankle),
Jimmy Butler III (back),
Al Horford (toe),
Draymond Green (illness), and
Jonathan Kuminga (knee).

Golden State Warriors forward
Jonathan Kuminga (knee) will sit out a fourth consecutive game on Wednesday against the Miami Heat. He is struggling to shake off bilateral knee patellar tendonitis.
Stephen Curry (ankle),
Jimmy Butler III (back),
Al Horford (toe), and
Draymond Green (illness) will all join Kuminga on the sidelines on Wednesday, meaning Golden State's chances against the Heat will depend on the efforts of
Moses Moody,
Brandin Podziemski,
Buddy Hield, and
Will Richard. Kuminga's next chance to return will be on Friday against the Portland Trail Blazers.

Washington Wizards center
Alexandre Sarr (toe) won't suit up on Wednesday against the Minnesota Timberwolves. Sarr has yet to miss a game this season, but soreness in his left big toe will keep him out of tonight's tilt. The 20-year-old big man has been excellent, averaging 16.3 points, 8.2 rebounds, 2.2 assists, and 2.2 blocks per game across 13 games this campaign. His next opportunity to get back on the floor is Friday versus the Raptors. While Sarr is sidelined,
Marvin Bagley III and
Tristan Vukcevic will take on extra minutes. Bagley is a stronger option streaming-wise based on rebounds and points for tonight's contest.

Golden State Warriors forward/center
Draymond Green (illness) won't play on Wednesday night against the Miami Heat. Green is battling an illness and will take a seat after playing 31 minutes in Tuesday's loss to the Orlando Magic. Jimmy Butler (back),
Al Horford (toe), and
Jonathan Kuminga (knee) are all out as well on Wednesday, which opens up a lot of playing time in the frontcourt for players like
Quinten Post and
Trayce Jackson-Davis. There might even be a
Gui Santos sighting at Kaseya Center.

November 19, 2025
Golden State Warriors forward
Jimmy Butler III (back) has been ruled out for Wednesday's matchup against the Miami Heat. The veteran will miss a reunion with his old team due to a back injury. Overall, the Warriors will have six players out with injuries, including
Stephen Curry (ankle) and
Draymond Green (illness).
Brandin Podziemski and
Moses Moody will likely lead the offense, and rookie
Will Richard could also make some noise again. In a similar situation earlier this month, Richard erupted for 30 points against the Sacramento Kings.

November 19, 2025
Golden State Warriors forward/center
Al Horford (injury management) will not play on Wednesday in the second game of his team's road back-to-back in Miami due to left toe injury management. The Warriors have been very careful with the veteran's workload this season and will look to get him back for Friday's matchup with Portland. Golden State could be very shorthanded with
Stephen Curry (ankle) sidelined and Jimmy Butler (back),
Buddy Hield (illness), and
Draymond Green (illness) potentially all unavailable for tonight's tilt. While Horford is absent,
Quinten Post and
Trayce Jackson-Davis are in line to be assigned extra minutes.

November 19, 2025
Minnesota Timberwolves forward
Jaden McDaniels (wrist) is unavailable for Wednesday's matchup with the Washington Wizards. McDaniels will miss his first game of the season due to a sprained left wrist.
Jaylen Clark will likely see increased playing time with McDaniels sidelined, and the Timberwolves' frontcourt will rely on
Naz Reid to take on extra minutes. Reid is coming off a double-double against the Mavs on Monday, when he registered a season-high 22 points, 12 rebounds, and two assists in 23 minutes.

November 19, 2025
Philadelphia 76ers center
Joel Embiid (knee) has been downgraded to unavailable for Wednesday's game against the Toronto Raptors after he was listed as doubtful on Tuesday. The former MVP will miss his fifth game in a row. Philadelphia has also lost
Adem Bona (ankle) from the center rotation, leaving
Andre Drummond to continue to see an expanded role. The former All-Star has had a strong four-game run, averaging 14.3 points and 13.5 rebounds across 35.4 minutes. Drummond could grab plenty of boards tonight as the Raptors tend to struggle in the rebounding department.
--Andrew LennoxSource: NBA Injury Report
November 19, 2025
Golden State Warriors guard
Stephen Curry (ankle) will not suit up against the Miami Heat on Wednesday. Curry will sit out due to right ankle soreness after jamming it during Wednesday's 121-113 loss to the Magic. The 37-year-old could be back on Friday as the Warriors haven't labeled the injury a sprain. Along with Curry, Golden State could have several key players out this evening, as
Draymond Green (illness), Jimmy Butler (back), and
Buddy Hield (illness) are all potentially unavailable.
