Chicago Bulls forward
Patrick Williams (wrist) is available Monday against the Pelicans after missing the previous game, giving Chicago another option amid several frontcourt absences. Williams has averaged 7.0 points, 2.6 rebounds and 1.0 steal over his last five outings while shooting 46.0 percent from the field. He could see a slight bump in minutes with
Nikola Vucevic (knee) and
Zach Collins (wrist) sidelined. His fantasy appeal remains deeper-league only, but managers needing defensive extras or low-end threes can treat him as a short-term streamer.

Memphis Grizzlies forward/center
Jaren Jackson Jr. (ankle) has been cleared to play Monday against the Nuggets after missing the previous two games. Jackson averaged 18.0 points with 5.4 rebounds and 1.0 block over his last five outings and should immediately reclaim his usual workload and shot volume. His return bumps
Santi Aldama back to the bench, though Aldama remains a hold thanks to steady production, including 20 points and eight rebounds in his last appearance. Managers should expect Aldama's minutes to fluctuate while Jackson resumes his role as Memphis' primary frontcourt scorer.

Chicago Bulls guard/forward
Kevin Huerter (pelvis) will miss his first game of the season on Monday, opening additional wing minutes in Chicago's rotation for Monday's game against the Pelicans. Huerter had averaged 12.6 points with 3.6 rebounds and 2.4 assists over his last five games while shooting 45.4 percent from the field.
Ayo Dosunmu becomes the most viable streaming target after recent scoring spikes, while
Tre Jones offers assist stability for managers needing guard production. Both gain short-term value until Chicago's rotation returns to full strength.

Brooklyn Nets center
Nicolas Claxton (quadriceps) will play on Monday against the Knicks. The 26-year-old carried an injury designation because of a sprained elbow heading into Sunday's loss to the Toronto Raptors. He ended up getting the green light for that one, finishing with a 10-point, 11-rebound double-double with two blocks. Fortunately, his latest injury, quadriceps tightness, won't keep him off the floor. While fantasy managers could theoretically see Claxton miss time in the future or even play fewer minutes on Monday night, he's a must-start versus a Knicks team that won't have
Mitchell Robinson (illness).

Chris Fedor of The Cleveland Plain Dealer reports that Cleveland Cavaliers forward
Dean Wade (knee) will miss his first game since November 7 due to a hyperextended right knee.
De'Andre Hunter (rest) will also have the evening off to rest. The Cavs frontcourt could turn to 24-year-old big man
Nae'Qwan Tomlin to take on extra minutes. He finished with eight points, two rebounds, one assist, one steal and two blocks in his last outing Sunday against the Clippers.

November 24, 2025
Chicago Bulls center
Nikola Vucevic (knee) is unavailable for Monday's matchup with the New Orleans Pelicans due to right knee soreness. The 35-year-old big man will be sidelined this evening for the first time this season. However, we could see him back in action on Friday versus the Hornets. With Vucevic out, 25-year-old
Jalen Smith will most likely start at center.
Patrick Williams (wrist), who was upgraded to available for tonight's contest after a one-game absence, will likely see an expanded role as well.

New York Knicks guard/forward
Landry Shamet (shoulder) will miss Monday's meeting with Brooklyn after exiting early against Orlando. Shamet had averaged 9.2 points with 1.6 rebounds and 1.6 assists over his last five games while shooting 47.2 percent from the field and 44.0 percent from deep. His absence shifts backcourt opportunities to
Jordan Clarkson, who logged 15 points in 33 minutes last game and already holds a stable sixth-man role.
Miles McBride could re-enter the rotation if coach Mike Brown expands the guard mix, but he remains a deeper-league speculative play.

November 24, 2025
Miami Heat guard
Tyler Herro (ankle) will play on Monday versus Dallas. The 25-year-old averaged a career-high 23.9 points last season. Unfortunately, he's been working his way back from multiple injuries. It's possible Herro has some rust to shake off in his first game in nearly eight months. However, with
Norman Powell (groin) and
Andrew Wiggins (hip) sidelined, Herro should automatically be plugged into all fantasy lineups.

November 24, 2025
Detroit Pistons guards
Jaden Ivey (return to competition conditioning) and
Caris LeVert (foot) will play in Indiana on Monday night. Ivey made his 2025 campaign debut in Saturday's win over the Milwaukee Bucks, finishing with 10 points in 15 minutes of work. As far as LeVert is concerned, he was listed as probable heading into this one because of foot soreness. With that in mind, both men may not see enough action to do anything meaningful for fantasy managers, although they should be stashed in all formats, considering they should see more minutes moving ahead.

November 24, 2025
Utah Jazz forward/center
Kevin Love (rest) will be out of action for Monday's matchup with the Golden State Warriors. Love will miss the second leg of a back-to-back set to rest after posting four points, nine rebounds, two assists across 13 minutes during Sunday's 108-106 loss to the Lakers. With a limited role, Love hasn't made much of an impact in fantasy basketball in a while.
Kyle Filipowski could receive some extra attention from fantasy managers for tonight's contest as he will likely see additional minutes off the bench with Love out.

November 24, 2025
Phoenix Suns guard/forward
Grayson Allen (quadriceps) and forward
Ryan Dunn (wrist) will miss Monday's game against Houston, leaving the wing rotation thin. Allen had averaged 21.8 points with 2.2 rebounds, 3.2 assists, and 2.2 steals over his last five games while shooting 59.3 percent from the field and 52.5 percent from deep. Dunn had been contributing steady defense and rebounding in smaller minutes. Their absence pushes
Collin Gillespie and
Royce O'Neale into larger roles, with Gillespie offering more playmaking and O'Neale profiling as a threes-and-steals streamer in standard formats.

November 24, 2025
Dallas Mavericks forward/center
Anthony Davis (calf) won't play on Monday versus Miami. He's already missed 13 games because of the calf injury. While there are some reports indicating AD is inching his way closer to a return, fantasy managers will need to see it to believe it. With
Dereck Lively II (foot) also sidelined,
Daniel Gafford could see a few additional minutes, although he's only averaged 9.7 points, 6.3 rebounds, and 1.6 blocks, all down from the 2024 campaign.
Moussa Cisse may also be more involved, giving him a higher ceiling for those participating in deeper fantasy setups.
--Dennis ClausenSource: Zachary Weinberger
November 24, 2025
Cleveland Cavaliers guard
Lonzo Ball (knee) is available to suit up against the Toronto Raptors on Monday. Ball missed Sunday's contest against the Clippers due to left knee injury management. The 28-year-old has averaged 5.9 points, 4.1 rebounds, 5.1 assists, and 1.2 steals across 23.3 minutes over his last five outings. With guard
Sam Merrill (hand) and guard
Craig Porter Jr. (hamstring) both out, Ball could absorb plenty of extra backcourt minutes and be a solid streaming option based on assists and steals for this evening's matchup.

November 24, 2025
Golden State Warriors forward/center
Draymond Green (foot) will miss Monday's game against Utah after injuring his foot on a loose-ball sequence in Portland. Green last posted 11 points, five rebounds, seven assists, three steals, and one block in 33 minutes, but his absence shifts the frontcourt toward
Trayce Jackson-Davis and
Quinten Post. Jackson-Davis showed promise with eight points, 12 rebounds, and one block in his latest start, making him a tentative streaming consideration. Post remains more of a deep-league flier for perimeter shooting and spot defensive stats.
--Brian DailisanSource: Anthony Slater
November 24, 2025
Cleveland Cavaliers guard
Sam Merrill (hand) and guard
Craig Porter Jr. (hamstring) will miss Monday's matchup with the Toronto Raptors. Tonight's clash will be the fourth game in a row that Merrill will miss due to a right-hand sprain. A lingering hamstring injury will keep Porter out of action for the second straight contest. With a depleted Cavs backcourt, fantasy managers could turn to
Lonzo Ball, who is expected to see plenty of minutes this evening.
