New York Knicks guard
Josh Hart (ankle) is listed as questionable heading into Monday's matchup with the Washington Wizards. If Hart is unable to play,
Landry Shamet and
Jordan Clarkson could see an increased workload. The Knicks will be without
Mitchell Robinson (rest) at the end of the back-to-back. Hart chipped in 14 points and nine rebounds yesterday, an improvement over his five points and 6.6 rebound average this season. With the Wizards rested, look for a big night from
Kyshawn George and
CJ McCollum against a depleted Knicks roster.

New York Knicks center
Mitchell Robinson (rest) will miss Monday's matchup, the second leg of a back-to-back, despite just 13 minutes on Sunday. Robinson has appeared in just two games this season as he works himself back into shape following a left ankle injury he struggled with through the preseason. When healthy, the big man's excellent rebounding and shot-blocking potential make him a starting option at a shallow center position. Robinson can be dropped at this stage of the season despite his potential. His inability to stay healthy, appearing in just 48 games over the past two seasons, leaves him expendable if you don't have an injured reserve spot to stash him.

Sacramento Kings guard
Zach LaVine (back) is expected to play in Monday night's matchup with the Denver Nuggets. LaVine has been hampered by lower back soreness, but has yet to miss time this season. The 30-year-old guard has been incredible to start the season, averaging 29.5 points, 3.2 rebounds, and 1.7 assists through the first six games. With
Malik Monk sidelined, the veteran has shouldered the majority of the scoring load for the Kings, but faces a stiff test against a Nuggets defense that is allowing just 111.8 points per game, fourth in the league. The Nuggets will likely focus their defense on LaVine to slow him down, as a one-on-one matchup against
Christian Braun could set up a big day.

Sacramento Kings point guard
Dennis Schroder (hip) will be available for Monday night's matchup with the Denver Nuggets. Schroder was listed as questionable leading up to the matchup. The 32-year-old is coming off his best performance of the season in Saturday's 135-133 win over the Bucks. Schroder managed 24 points, seven assists, five rebounds, and two steals in the contest.
Malik Monk (personal) is currently away from the team, which points to an uptick in Schroder's usage. The guard should start in all formats heading into Monday's game.

Memphis Grizzlies center
Zach Edey (ankle) was assigned to the G-League's Memphis Hustle on Monday. Edey's stay with the Grizzlies affiliate should be brief, as the second-year big man recovers from offseason ankle surgery. Edey placed fifth in Rookie of the Year voting last year, after averaging 9.2 points, 8.3 rebounds, and 1.3 blocks in 66 games. An early-November return for Edey would mark a significant shift in the team's lineup as
Jaren Jackson Jr. shifts to power forward, and
Jock Landale likely returns to a reserve role. Edey should be stashee immediately ahead of his return to the lineup.

Atlanta Hawks point guard
Keaton Wallace (illness) participated in Monday's practice after missing Sunday's matchup with the Cavaliers. Wallace is averaging just 11.2 minutes per game while operating as a depth piece behind
Trae Young. Wallace is shooting 62.5% from three this season, and should be viewed as a depth piece that can shoot from distance while chipping in assists if his minutes tick up. Continue to monitor injury reports if you're in need of point guard depth ahead of Tuesday's matchup with the Orlando Magic.

Indiana Pacers guard
Andrew Nembhard (shoulder) will miss a sixth consecutive game on Monday after officially being ruled out due to a left shoulder strain. The fourth-year combo guard hasn't been able to play since the season opener, while the Pacers suffer injury after injury. Their guard depth is down to the bottom of their barrel, so both fantasy managers in deep leagues and DFS managers can find some value here and there for streaming purposes.
Quenton Jackson had a big double-double in their last game on Saturday, while
Jarace Walker has also played very well in extended minutes.
RayJ Dennis (questionable - back) has received some more time, while
Johnny Furphy also got 23 minutes. Jackson and Walker are the top two for streaming priority, but Dennis and Furphy could provide some guard stats in a pinch, too.

Indiana Pacers guard
T.J. McConnell (hamstring) has been ruled out on Monday and still won't make his season debut after a hamstring injury during preseason. The veteran point guard isn't being rushed back as the team goes through a rough injury bug to start out the year. While McConnell,
Tyrese Haliburton (Achilles),
Bennedict Mathurin (toe), and
Andrew Nembhard (shoulder) are all sidelined,
Johnny Furphy,
RayJ Dennis,
Quenton Jackson, and
Ben Sheppard have been getting the backcourt minutes. Dennis is currently listed as questionable, while Jackson started in their last game and put up 25 points, 10 assists, six rebounds, and three steals. Jackson has looked like the best streaming option while
Jarace Walker also stuffs the stat sheet with extra minutes.

Indiana Pacers guard
Johnny Furphy (foot) is likely to play in Monday's contest against the Milwaukee Bucks after drawing a probable tag on the injury report. The second-year guard is in line for plenty of minutes since the team is getting hit hard by the injury bug. Furphy played in their 23 minutes in the Pacers' first win on Saturday and registered five points, three rebounds, and two steals while shooting 2-for-4 from the floor and 1-for-2 from deep. Furphy would only be an option in very deep leagues and some DFS lineups, but the Pacers will probably have a ton of different lineups while they go through a gap year without
Tyrese Haliburton (Achilles).

Charlotte Hornets forward
Tidjane Salaun will be heading down to the G League to play with the Greensboro Swarm. Hornets beat writer Rod Boone reports that the team is making the decision ahead of their mini road trip, so he likely won't play in the next two games. Salaun was the sixth-overall pick in the 2024 NBA Draft and hasn't really seen much playing time so far this season. He shot very poorly from the floor in his rookie year (.330), and has marginally improved through seven games this season (.368). He's only received around 11 minutes per contest this year, so his absence won't change much to the value of the rest of the bench, except for maybe some added opportunities for
KJ Simpson or
Pat Connaughton.

Portland Trail Blazers guard
Blake Wesley will be out for the foreseeable future after the fourth-year guard was diagnosed with a fracture of his fifth metatarsal on his right foot. The team said in their statement that a timeline for his return "will be determined at a later date." Wesley was receiving the most playing time he's seen since his rookie year, leading up to this injury, and was averaging 6.0 points, 3.2 assists, 2.3 rebounds, and 1.7 steals across 16.3 minutes per game. With
Scoot Henderson (hamstring) out, Wesley was playing the backup point guard. In his absence, however, it looks like the last healthy guard standing is
Rayan Rupert until
Matisse Thybulle (thumb) returns. Neither provides much value, even as streaming options.

Minnesota Timberwolves guard/forward
Anthony Edwards (hamstring) is trending in the right direction on Monday. The team announced that the superstar has been cleared for contact in practice, but he will remain out for the time being. ESPN's Shams Charania initially reported that Edwards would be out for two weeks, and he's missed one week so far, which seems to put him on schedule. In the meantime,
Mike Conley has joined the starting five and has averaged 9.3 points, 5.3 assists, 3.3 rebounds, 1.7 steals, and 1.0 blocks per game in that time. Fantasy managers shouldn't expect to find a streaming option that gives the level of production that Edwards can give, but Conley has been a decent option so far in category formats.

San Antonio Spurs guard
Dylan Harper (calf) exited the team's loss to the Phoenix Suns on Sunday in the second quarter while trying to defend a
Nick Richards dunk. The rookie suffered a calf injury of sorts and didn't return to the game. Afterwards, he was seen leaving the arena on crutches and wearing a walking boot. Head coach Mitch Johnson didn't have any further information during the post-game press conference, so fantasy managers will likely have to wait for any tests that will be done soon. Before leaving, Harper registered 12 points (5-8 FG) and one rebound in 11 minutes.
Stephon Castle and
Devin Vassell will likely be tasked with more responsibilities if Harper has to miss any time, especially since
De'Aaron Fox (hamstring) hasn't debuted yet.
Jordan McLaughlin could also see some added minutes off the bench for relief point guard duties.

Milwakee Bucks guard
Kevin Porter Jr. (knee) will miss at least the next four weeks. The 2019 No. 30 overall pick suffered an ankle injury on opening night in the win over the Washington Wizards. Although he was nearing a return, he sustained a meniscus injury in his right knee during a recent on-court session and will now undergo "a minor orthopedic procedure." Porter was projected to see a surge in fantasy production as the team's starting point guard. However, with
Ryan Rollins averaging 18.2 points and 5.5 assists, Porter may not be a lock to re-enter the starting lineup upon his return. With that said, the 25-year-old should still be stashed in all fantasy formats while he's on the shelf.

November 2, 2025
Chicago Bulls guard
Ayo Dosunmu (quadriceps) won't play in Sunday's rematch against the Knicks. These clubs met on Halloween night, with Dosunmu finishing with 22 points in 29 minutes from off the bench. Unfortunately, a left quad contusion will keep him out on Sunday, although it remains to been seen if he'll be back on Tuesday versus the Philadelphia 76ers. As far as Sunday's contest is concerned,
Kevin Huerter should see more action.
Dalen Terry and
Noa Essengue may also get more work.
