Cleveland Cavaliers guard
Lonzo Ball (illness) won't play on Monday against the Indiana Pacers due to an illness. Ball also sat out Sunday's matchup with the Celtics.
Darius Garland (rest) and
Sam Merrill (hand) are sidelined as well, meaning
Craig Porter Jr. could absorb extra minutes off the bench. Fantasy managers could also look to
Jaylon Tyson for reliable offensive production as he will have an expanded role this evening.

Houston Rockets center
Steven Adams (rest) will miss Monday's game against the Utah Jazz. Adams will have tonight's tilt off to rest after finishing with 13 points, 12 rebounds, two assists, one steal, and one block across 17 minutes during a 129-101 win over the Jazz on Sunday.
Clint Capela will likely be assigned extra minutes with Adams out this evening. However, Capela shouldn't be viewed as a solid fantasy basketball option, as he is averaging just 3.6 points and 4.6 rebounds per contest this season.

Cleveland Cavaliers guard
Darius Garland (rest) is unavailable for Monday's clash against the Indiana Pacers. Garland will have the second half of back-to-back games off to rest. The 25-year-old finished with 21 points, three rebounds and eight assists across 31 minutes during Sunday's 117-115 loss to the Celtics. With
Lonzo Ball (illness) also out of action, Cleveland's backcourt will have to turn to
Tyrese Proctor and Craig Porter to take on extra minutes during tonight's tilt.

Atlanta Hawks center
Kristaps Porzingis (illness) won't play on Monday night versus the Detroit Pistons. Porzingis will be held out of action for the third consecutive contest due to illness. Despite playing in only 12 games this season, the 30-year-old is still considered an everyday fantasy option, averaging 18.7 points, 5.9 rebounds, and 1.6 blocks in 26.3 minutes. It's unknown if he'll be ready to go on Wednesday against the Clippers. In the meantime,
Onyeka Okongwu remains a must-start at center in all fantasy formats as he is averaging 16.2 points, 7.4 rebounds, 2.8 assists, 1.9 blocks and 1.5 steals across 20 outings.

Dallas Mavericks center
Daniel Gafford (ankle) is unavailable for Monday's matchup with the Denver Nuggets. Gafford will be out of action for the second game in a row due to ankle injury management. His next chance to suit up will be Wednesday against the Heat. With
Dereck Lively II (foot) also unavailable this evening,
Dwight Powell and
Moussa Cisse will take most of the available minutes at the five. Fantasy managers will likely get more value out of Powell tonight as he finished with nine points, five rebounds, three assists, six steals, and one block in 34 minutes during Saturday's win over the Clippers.

Philadelphia 76ers center
Andre Drummond (knee) exited Sunday's game against Atlanta after six minutes and did not return, leaving his status for upcoming contests unclear. Drummond has been productive recently with 8.8 points, 14.8 rebounds, and 1.2 blocks across his last five full outings, so any absence would open a path for second-year big
Adem Bona. Bona logged 22 minutes with four points, three rebounds, and two blocks on Sunday and profiles as a deeper-league stream for defensive stats if Drummond misses time.

December 1, 2025
Charlotte Hornets guard
Tre Mann (ankle) is questionable for Monday's game against the Brooklyn Nets after logging only 10 minutes in his most recent outing, and his potential absence carries minimal fantasy impact. Mann has averaged 5.4 points, 1.4 rebounds, and 1.0 assists across his last five games on 37.9 percent shooting, keeping him off the radar in most formats. Second-year guard
KJ Simpson could enter the rotation if Mann sits, though he still profiles as a deep-league watch-list option.
--Brian DailisanSource: NBA Injury Report
December 1, 2025
Los Angeles Lakers center
Deandre Ayton (knee) exited Sunday's game and did not return after appearing uncomfortable during a brief stint, putting his availability for upcoming contests in question. Any missed time would bump
Jaxson Hayes into a larger role, though he remains more of a fringe option outside deep formats. Hayes has averaged 11.5 points, 4.5 rebounds, 2.0 assists, and 1.0 block across two spot starts while shooting 90.9 percent from the field in 31.1 minutes, making him a reasonable speculative stream if Ayton is sidelined.

December 1, 2025
Dallas Mavericks guard
Brandon Williams (adductor) is questionable for Monday's game in Denver after recently dealing with a back issue, setting up
Ryan Nembhard to handle most of the lead-guard minutes if Williams is ruled out. Nembhard has started the last two games and just delivered eight points, three assists, and one rebound in 21 minutes against the Clippers, giving him low-end streaming appeal for assists in deeper formats.
Jaden Hardy and
D'Angelo Russell could also see backcourt bumps if given minutes.

December 1, 2025
Dallas Mavericks forward
P.J. Washington (ankle) is listed as questionable for Monday's game in Denver after missing Saturday's win over the Clippers. If he sits again,
Naji Marshall is positioned to draw another start. Marshall has averaged 12.6 points, 6.4 rebounds, and 2.8 assists over his last five games while shooting 48.7 percent from the field, and he logged 18 points, eight rebounds, and three steals in 37 minutes on Saturday. He profiles as a low-end streamer, with
Caleb Martin offering deeper-league appeal.

December 1, 2025
Dallas Mavericks center
Daniel Gafford (ankle) is doubtful for Monday's game in Denver, leaving Dallas to patch together minutes at the five with
Dereck Lively II (foot) also out.
Dwight Powell and
Moussa Cisse remain fringe options, though Powell's nine points, five rebounds, three assists, six steals, and one block in 34 minutes Saturday suggest he may hold the steadiest role. Cisse stays in deep-league territory.
Anthony Davis is still ramping up and could pick up spot frontcourt minutes, but his managed workload keeps expectations in check.

Brooklyn Nets point guard
Egor Demin (foot) is not listed on the injury report for Monday's clash against the Charlotte Hornets. He sat out the second leg of a back-to-back on Saturday against the Milwaukee Bucks due to a foot problem.
Tyrese Martin started in his spot, finishing with nine points and six rebounds in 24 minutes. Martin may retain his starting role on Monday because
Terance Mann (ribs) might miss the game. In his last appearance against the Philadelphia 76ers, Demin had the best game of his young NBA career, scoring 23 points and recording nine rebounds, five assists, one steal, and two blocks. Monday could be another big night for him, as Charlotte allows the 10th-most fantasy points in the league to point guards.

November 30, 2025
Brooklyn Nets guard/forward
Terance Mann (ribs) has been tagged as questionable on the injury report ahead of Monday's meet-up with the Charlotte Hornets. The 25-year-old played through a rib injury on Saturday against the Milwaukee Bucks but struggled, shooting 2-for-8 from the field to finish with four points in 21 minutes. Mann's exit from the lineup would give additional playing opportunities for players like
Drake Powell and
Tyrese Martin. The returning
Egor Demin (foot) will also benefit and is likely to replace Mann in the starting lineup.
--Taavi PailkSource: NBA Injury Report
November 30, 2025
Brooklyn Nets forward/center
Noah Clowney (hip) is listed as probable for Monday's encounter with the Charlotte Hornets. The 21-year-old is on the injury report due to a hip issue, but it doesn't appear to be severe enough to keep Clowney off the floor. On Saturday against the Milwaukee Bucks, Clowney managed only six points and one rebound in 21 minutes. But he has been on a strong stretch overall recently, averaging close to 18 points over his past six outings.
--Taavi PailkSource: NBA Injury Report
November 30, 2025
Brooklyn Nets forward
Michael Porter Jr. (back) is on track to return from a two-game absence on Monday against the Charlotte Hornets, as the team considers him probable for the matchup. Porter Jr. has been dealing with a back issue, allowing
Ziaire Williams to log a couple of starts. On Monday, Williams will drop back to the bench to make room in the first unit for Brooklyn's top scorer. Porter Jr. is averaging 24.3 points, 7.4 rebounds, and 3.0 assists for the season. He has been even more productive in his most recent outings, surpassing the 30-point plateau twice in five games.
