New Orleans Pelicans guard/forward
Trey Murphy III (elbow) is questionable to face the Minnesota Timberwolves on Tuesday night. Due to an elbow injury, Murphy III may have to miss a third consecutive game. Murphy III has been a two-way force for the Pelicans, averaging 19.7 points and a career-high 1.7 steals this season.
Zion Williamson (hamstring) is returning to the Pelicans lineup on Tuesday and will carry a huge load on offense if Murphy III doesn't play. Meanwhile, the likes of
Saddiq Bey and
Jeremiah Fears are also expected to chip in more.

New Orleans Pelicans forward
Zion Williamson (hamstring) is expected to play on Tuesday night against the Minnesota Timberwolves. Williamson missed the second leg of a back-to-back on Sunday against the Los Angeles Lakers, but he has been removed from the injury report ahead of Tuesday's action. So far this season, Williamson has made 10 appearances, averaging 22.1 points, 5.6 rebounds, 4.0 assists, and 1.6 steals in 30.9 minutes.
Yves Missi started on Sunday in place of Williamson and will return to the second unit against Minnesota, which lowers his fantasy value.

Golden State Warriors forward/center
Draymond Green (foot) has been listed as probable for Tuesday's Western Conference showdown against the Oklahoma City Thunder. The veteran continues to deal with a right midfoot sprain, which caused him to miss one game last week. However, the probable designation indicates that Green will be good to go against the Thunder. Green had a very quiet outing in this season's first meeting with the defending champions, finishing a 126-102 loss on Nov. 11 with three points, two rebounds, four assists, and one steal. If Green suffers a setback and can't play,
Quinten Post could be in for a busy night in the Warriors frontcourt, especially with
Al Horford (sciatica) remaining out on Tuesday.

Golden State Warriors guard/forward
Jimmy Butler III (glute) is considered questionable for Tuesday's clash against the Oklahoma City Thunder. The Warriors are already without
Stephen Curry (quadriceps) and may now face the defending champions without two of their top scorers. Butler III is averaging 20.2 points, 5.7 rebounds, 5.2 assists, and 1.6 steals during his first full season with the Warriors. His exit from the lineup would likely give
Jonathan Kuminga a chance to return to the starting lineup after coming off the bench in back-to-back games.
Brandin Podziemski and
Moses Moody will be used more on the offensive end, boosting their fantasy appeal.

Boston Celtics guard
Derrick White (calf) is listed as probable on the injury report, indicating that he is expected to return to the lineup on Tuesday against the New York Knicks. White sat out the second leg of a back-to-back on Sunday against the Cleveland Cavaliers due to a calf issue.
Sam Hauser got a start in White's place and is set to move back to the second unit for Tuesday's contest. White has posted some awful shooting numbers this season, but he is still averaging 16.0 points per game, only 0.4 points shy of his career high. Across 33.3 minutes of action, White has also notched 4.0 rebounds, 5.1 assists, 1.3 blocks, and 1.7 steals. He is having a career year on defense.

Philadelphia 76ers forward
Paul George (knee, back) once again has a questionable designation on the injury report ahead of Tuesday's matchup against the Washington Wizards. Since he made his season debut last month, George has played in five of Philadelphia's seven games. On Tuesday, he might be sidelined again as George is battling a lower back issue, in addition to his left knee injury, which required surgery in the summer.
VJ Edgecombe,
Jared McCain, and
Quentin Grimes (calf) get more scoring opportunities without George, especially with
Joel Embiid (knee) already ruled out for Tuesday night. Grimes is expected to play despite dealing with calf soreness.

Philadelphia 76ers center
Joel Embiid (knee) won't suit up for Tuesday's contest against the Washington Wizards. On Sunday, Embiid returned from a nine-game absence in a loss to the Atlanta Hawks. He finished a double-overtime game with 18 points, four rebounds, two assists, one block, and one steal in 30 minutes.
Andre Drummond (knee) has previously provided solid fantasy production during Embiid's absence, but he might also miss Tuesday's game after getting hurt against the Hawks. As a result, we could see a big night from
Adem Bona in a favorable matchup against a squad that allows the most fantasy points in the league to centers.

Charlotte Hornets guard/forward
Brandon Miller (shoulder) has been ruled out ahead of Monday's game against the Brooklyn Nets. Miller took a fall during Saturday's contest and briefly exited the game. He returned to the court shortly afterwards but might have re-aggravated his left shoulder injury during that contest. Regardless, Miller has been scratched from this game but will hopefully be available for their next game. In the meantime,
Collin Sexton should see increased run without Miller on the court. Sexton has had some quality performances lately, posting 15 points or more in each of his last five games. Fantasy managers should consider Sexton a viable streaming option for Monday's slate. He played 33 minutes during Saturday's contest and should see a familiar workload in this one.

Detroit Pistons guard
Duncan Robinson (ankle) won't play on Monday against Atlanta. The 31-year-old hasn't missed a game this season. Unfortunately, that will come to an end on Monday night after he tweaked his ankle during the win over the Miami Heat on Saturday. Robinson's next chance to play will be on Wednesday in Milwaukee.
Daniss Jenkins, averaging 19.3 points, 8.8 assists, and 1.5 steals in four starts, will presumably take his place in the rotation, although he may have a tough time being as productive with
Caris LeVert (knee) and
Cade Cunningham in the equation.

December 1, 2025
Detroit Pistons center
Jalen Duren (leg) will play on Monday versus the Hawks after sitting out Saturday's 138-135 win over the Miami Heat. The 22-year-old has looked terrific this season despite missing three games, averaging a career-high 19.5 points and 11.8 rebounds with 1.1 blocks. He'll make his return against a Hawks team that won't have
Kristaps Porzingis (illness), which could certainly increase his fantasy ceiling. Duren's presence should mean
Isaiah Stewart, who had nine points and eight boards on Saturday, will head back to the bench.

Brooklyn Nets forward
Noah Clowney (hip) is available for Monday's meeting with the Charlotte Hornets. He's listed on the injury report because of a sore left hip. Fortunately, it isn't enough to keep him off the floor for the first time this season. The 21-year-old has averaged a career-high 12.1 points with 3.6 rebounds and 1.6 assists. While that won't make him an everyday fantasy option, he has a much higher upside than mostly everyone on the roster. Granted,
Michael Porter Jr. (back) will return from a two-game absence, which could cause a dip in Clowney's production. However, he can still get something going for fantasy managers, especially since Brooklyn will face Charlotte, one of the worst defensive teams in the NBA.

December 1, 2025
Milwaukee Bucks forward/center
Giannis Antetokounmpo (adductor) is good to go for Monday's matchup with the Washington Wizards. The former MVP is managing a left adductor injury but will remain in the lineup for tonight's tilt. He finished with 29 points on Saturday against Brooklyn and missed a double-double by just two rebounds despite playing just 19 minutes. In his first meeting with the Wizards this campaign, Antetokounmpo went for a 37-point, 14-rebound double-double in just 27 minutes and he should be fresh for this evening after limited action in his last outing.
--Andrew LennoxSource: Milwaukee Bucks
December 1, 2025
Brooklyn Nets forward
Michael Porter Jr. (back) will play on Monday night versus the Charlotte Hornets after missing the previous two contests due to lower back tightness. The former Nugget is having easily the best year of his career, averaging 24.3 points, 7.0 rebounds, and 3.0 assists. His shooting percentage from deep is at an all-time low. However, Porter has made up for it with his contributions in all statistical areas. With that in mind, Porter is a must-start in any fantasy setup, especially against one of the worst defensive clubs in the National Basketball Association.
Ziaire Williams, who started in the last two games, may head back to the bench, although that may not happen, considering
Terance Mann (rib) won't suit up.
--Dennis ClausenSource: NBA Injury Report
December 1, 2025
Cleveland Cavaliers guard
Sam Merrill (hand) will be out of action on Monday against the Indiana Pacers. Merrill will miss his seventh consecutive contest due to a sprained right hand, and there isn't a timetable for his return. Cleveland's backcourt will be very short-handed this evening, with
Lonzo Ball (illness) and
Darius Garland (rest) also sidelined.
Jaylon Tyson should be considered a solid streaming option, as he will get more scoring opportunities with more time on the floor.
--Andrew LennoxSource: NBA Injury Report
December 1, 2025
Washington Wizards center
Alexandre Sarr (adductor) won't play on Monday night against the Bucks. The 2024 No. 2 overall pick has had a quality 2025 campaign, averaging 19.1 points, 8.6 rebounds, 3.3 assists, and 2.0 blocks, all career-highs. He missed two games over a week ago because of a toe injury, although, this time, he'll be sidelined due to adductor soreness. Sarr's next chance to suit up will be on Tuesday versus the Philadelphia 76ers. In the meantime,
Marvin Bagley III, who had 13 points, seven boards, three steals, and one block in his only start this season, is the favorite to replace Sarr in the rotation, making him an attractive fantasy commodity for those in need of a temporary streaming option.
