Houston Rockets center
Steven Adams (ankle) will miss Wednesday's matchup against Golden State. His absence does not guarantee a major role for
Clint Capela, who has been a fringe option and could still get squeezed if Houston leans into small-ball looks. Capela has averaged 2.0 points and 3.2 rebounds across his last five appearances, but Houston's thin frontcourt with
Kevin Durant (personal reasons),
Tari Eason (oblique), and
Dorian Finney-Smith (ankle) all out could lead to a slight bump in minutes. He remains a deeper-league rebounding flyer rather than a standard-league option.

Sacramento Kings guard
Dennis Schroder (hip) is questionable for Wednesday's matchup against Phoenix after appearing in every game so far. The veteran has recently slid into more of a backup role behind
Russell Westbrook but is still providing 14.6 points, 4.2 rebounds, and 6.0 assists per game on 43.1 percent shooting over his last five outings. If he's ruled out, Westbrook takes on more creation duties, and
Malik Monk,
Nique Clifford, and
Keon Ellis each gain a slight uptick in minutes and touches.

Phoenix Suns guard/forward
Grayson Allen (quadriceps) has been ruled out for Wednesday's matchup against Sacramento, marking his sixth straight absence. His continued absence keeps
Collin Gillespie and
Jordan Goodwin in elevated roles. Gillespie has averaged 14.6 points, 5.0 assists, and 1.4 steals over his last five games, highlighted by 16 points and three steals in 29 minutes against Houston. Goodwin has also been productive, contributing 11.6 points and 1.8 steals on 53.0 percent shooting in that same span. Both remain viable streamers while Allen is sidelined.

San Antonio Spurs guard
Dylan Harper (calf) is questionable for Wednesday's matchup against Portland after missing 10 straight games. His return adds needed depth with second-year guard
Stephon Castle (hip) still out. Harper's role may fluctuate early as the Spurs sort out how to divide touches between
De'Aaron Fox, Castle and Harper once everyone is healthy. Harper averaged 16.8 points on 50.0 percent shooting with 4.6 assists across his last five outings, giving him stash appeal for managers willing to wait.

Memphis Grizzlies center
Zach Edey (head) is questionable for Wednesday's matchup against New Orleans after exiting Monday's loss in the first quarter and not returning. His potential absence positions
Jock Landale and
Santi Aldama for increased roles, and both have shown they can produce when given minutes. Landale is coming off a 26-point, 10-rebound effort in 31 minutes, while Aldama contributed 12 points, six rebounds, six assists, two steals, and two blocks in the same game as Memphis sorted through its frontcourt rotation.

Boston Celtics forward/center
Neemias Queta (ankle) is expected to miss Wednesday's matchup with Detroit, giving Boston's reserve bigs another chance to carve out minutes.
Luka Garza has been the more productive option lately, averaging 12.6 points on 75.0 percent shooting across his last five outings, while
Chris Boucher remains in the rotation despite minimal offensive output. Both are fringe fantasy options for now, and it remains unclear which one coach Joe Mazzulla will trust most with Queta sidelined.

Miami Heat guard/forward
Jaime Jaquez Jr. (hip) is on the injury report as questionable ahead of a meeting with the Milwaukee Bucks on Wednesday night. The 24-year-old may have to skip his first contest of the season due to an issue with his right hip. Following a poor 2024-25 campaign, Jaquez Jr. has bounced back in style, becoming one of the NBA's best bench performers. He is averaging 16.5 points, 6.4 rebounds, and 5.4 assists in 30.4 minutes. Jaquez Jr.'s absence on Wednesday would allow other second-unit players to take on a larger role in the rotation, with
Simone Fontecchio looking like the most attractive fantasy piece.

Miami Heat forward
Andrew Wiggins (hip) is questionable for Wednesday's matchup against the Milwaukee Bucks. He has missed three games with a left hip flexor strain. Luckily for Miami,
Tyler Herro has just made his season debut, and
Norman Powell (groin) is expected to return to the lineup on Wednesday, lessening the impact of Wiggins' absence.
Simone Fontecchio could see additional action for Miami if Wiggins doesn't return on Wednesday night. The Italian forward is primarily a three-point sniper, averaging 10.8 points per game with 2.3 makes from downtown.

November 26, 2025
Miami Heat guard/forward
Norman Powell (groin) is listed as probable for Wednesday's clash against the Milwaukee Bucks, indicating that he is on track to return to the lineup. A groin issue kept Powell off the floor on Monday night against the Dallas Mavericks. Powell's move to Miami has worked out superbly for him, as the 32-year-old is averaging a career-high 25.4 points, 3.9 rebounds, 2.4 assists, and 1.3 steals. However, it remains to be seen how well Powell meshes with
Tyler Herro, who made his season debut against Dallas, scoring 24 points in 29 minutes.

Portland Trail Blazers guard/forward
Shaedon Sharpe (calf) is listed as questionable on the injury report ahead of Wednesday's contest against the San Antonio Spurs. He has been sidelined for four games due to a right calf strain.
Jrue Holiday (calf) recently also landed on the shelf, opening the door for
Sidy Cissoko to join the starting unit. The 21-year-old has been mediocre as a starter, averaging 7.5 points, 2.5 rebounds, and 1.8 assists in 25.0 minutes per game. Cissoko scored half of his 30 points as a starter on Friday against the Golden State Warriors.

November 26, 2025
Milwaukee Bucks forward/center
Giannis Antetokounmpo (groin) is considered questionable for Wednesday's matchup against the Miami Heat. He has been on the shelf for a week with a left groin strain but is nearing his return. Initially, Antetokounmpo was ruled out for 1-2 weeks.
Bobby Portis and
Jericho Sims have shared starts during Antetokounmpo's three-game absence. Portis was more effective coming off the bench on Monday against the Portland Trail Blazers, so Bucks head coach Doc Rivers may give Sims a second consecutive start on Wednesday if Antetokounmpo doesn't return. However, Sims played only 11 minutes against Portland and hasn't been impactful from a fantasy perspective.

Oklahoma City Thunder guard
Shai Gilgeous-Alexander (illness) may miss his first game of the season on Wednesday against the Minnesota Timberwolves, as the team has listed him as questionable on the injury report. The Canadian star is battling an illness, and his exit from the lineup could give
Ajay Mitchell an opportunity to start. Mitchell has been one of the most productive bench players in the league this season, but a starting role would provide his fantasy value with an additional bump. In his previous five starts this season, Mitchell has averaged 18.2 points, 4.2 rebounds, 4.4 assists, and 2.4 steals.

Philadelphia 76ers forward
Trendon Watford (adductor) will not return to Tuesday's NBA Cup clash with the Orlando Magic. With Philly down
Joel Embiid (knee),
Kelly Oubre Jr. (knee),
Paul George (ankle) and
VJ Edgecombe (calf), Watford was in line for extra action. Unfortunately, he suffered a left adductor strain near the end of the first half, requiring assistance off the floor. Watford would go on to finish with eight points and one rebound in 11 minutes. While it's far too early to speculate, it appears there's a good chance he'll miss extended time, starting with Friday's game versus the Brooklyn Nets, his former team. Fantasy managers could see more minutes from
Justin Edwards and
Jared McCain, although their stock will fall once George, Edgecombe, Embiid, or Oubre are back in the lineup.

Washington Wizards forward
Corey Kispert (thumb) exited Tuesday's NBA Cup win over the Atlanta Hawks. He did not return. The 26-year-old was well on his way to having his best game of the 2025 campaign before a right thumb injury ended his night after 24 minutes. He'd go on to finish with 19 points, three steals, and one block while shooting 4-for-8 from behind the three-point line. Kispert will presumably undergo further testing heading into Friday's matchup with the Indiana Pacers. If he ends up missing time,
Justin Champagnie and
Cam Whitmore could see more work, with one potentially entering the starting lineup.
--Dennis ClausenSource: Bryson Akins
November 25, 2025
Washington Wizards forward/center
Marvin Bagley III (hip) won't play on Tuesday versus the Hawks, marking his third-straight absence. The former Duke Blue Devil has averaged only 7.6 points and 4.4 rebounds in 15.8 minutes per contest this season, so there aren't very many fantasy managers awaiting his return. While there might be streaming opportunities down the line if
Alexandre Sarr misses time, Bagley currently isn't worth rostering in most fantasy setups. With that said, his absence will still open the door for more minutes from
Tristan Vukcevic, who is coming off a 12-point, eight-rebound, two-block, two-steal showing in Saturday's loss to the Chicago Bulls.
