Orlando Magic forward
Paolo Banchero (groin) has been ruled out for a 10th consecutive game. He is currently limited to non-contact work at practice and remains without a timetable for his return.
Tristan da Silva looks set for another start on Wednesday against the San Antonio Spurs. However, the 24-year-old has seen his production fall off the cliff lately and couldn't even score in Monday's win over the Chicago Bulls. With Banchero sidelined,
Franz Wagner and
Desmond Bane continue to lead the Magic offense. The two scored basically half of the team's points (62) in Monday's 125-120 victory.

Philadelphia 76ers guard
Quentin Grimes (calf) has been ruled out ahead of Tuesday's game versus the Washington Wizards. He started the day off with a probable tag, but has now been downgraded to out. Grimes played 47 minutes during the double-overtime loss to the Atlanta Hawks. It appears Grimes picked up the injury during that game, but should be considered day-to-day for now.
Justin Edwards and
Jared McCain should split up the playing time with Grimes unavailable. McCain is the more appealing streaming option between the two due to his scoring ability. McCain has scored 15 points or more in three of his last five games.

Philadelphia 76ers forward
Paul George (knee, back) is officially available to suit up ahead of Tuesday's game against the Washington Wizards. George continues to carry a questionable tag, but has been able to suit up in each of the last three games. The veteran forward has been dealing with a couple of injuries, but continues to play through them. He recorded a season-high five steals to go along with 16 points and seven rebounds during Sunday's game. George should see nearly 30 minutes of action with
Quentin Grimes (calf) remaining on the sideline. Fantasy managers should double-check that George is in their lineups ahead of tip-off.

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.

December 2, 2025
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.

December 2, 2025
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.

December 2, 2025
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.
--Andrew LennoxSource: NBA Injury Report
December 2, 2025
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.

December 2, 2025
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.
--Zach ThompsonSource: NBA Injury Report
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.
--Zach ThompsonSource: NBA Injury Report
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.
