Toronto Raptors guard/forward
Gradey Dick (head) made an early exit against the Indiana Pacers on Wednesday after taking a hard fall. Late in the first quarter, Dick hit the back of his head on the floor while attempting to go for an offensive rebound. Dick has had a tough season, averaging only 6.8 points in 16.1 minutes per game. Toronto has also just lost
RJ Barrett (knee) from the rotation, giving
Ja'Kobe Walter's fantasy stock a major boost. Players like
Jamison Battle and
Ochai Agbaji may also log additional playing time if Dick misses time.

Toronto Raptors guard/forward
RJ Barrett (knee) has no structural damage in his right knee and will be re-evaluated in one week. The Canadian star hurt his knee in Sunday's win over the Brooklyn Nets. He has missed two contests due to the injury. Since Barrett's exit from the lineup,
Ja'Kobe Walter's workload has significantly increased, and he started on Monday night against the Cleveland Cavaliers. Toronto went with
Collin Murray-Boyles in the starting unit in Wednesday's win over the Indiana Pacers, but Walter still logged 32 minutes of action. He was more effective coming off the bench, scoring 13 points while picking up four rebounds and two steals.

Dallas Mavericks forward/center
Anthony Davis (calf) will likely make his return to action during the team's upcoming back-to-back set against the Los Angeles Lakers and Los Angeles Clippers. "You know what game I want to play, but we'll see," Davis said following Wednesday's practice. "Obviously, I would like to (play against the Lakers). But at the end of the day the main thing is to just be on the floor whether it's Friday or Saturday." Mavericks head coach Jason Kidd told reporters that Davis did a "really good job" in practice. Dallas is expected to list Davis as questionable for Friday's matchup against the Lakers. Due to a calf injury, Davis has not played this month and may have a minutes restriction upon his return, limiting his fantasy potential.

Golden State Warriors guard/forward
Gary Payton II (ankle) was limited to five minutes of action on Wednesday against the Houston Rockets. The veteran sprained his left ankle during the first half. Golden State also lost
Stephen Curry (quadriceps) on Wednesday night, meaning the rotation could look very different in Saturday's contest against the New Orleans Pelicans. Payton II has averaged 11.1 minutes per game across the season, posting 3.1 points, 2.8 rebounds, and 1.5 assists. If Payton II misses time,
Pat Spencer and
Gui Santos may receive more playing time off the bench, although they are not significant contributors in fantasy basketball.

Golden State Warriors point guard
Stephen Curry has been diagnosed with a quadriceps contusion and is set to undergo an MRI. Curry was hurt while attempting to draw a charge on
Amen Thompson in Wednesday's 104-100 loss to the Houston Rockets, causing him to miss the end of the game. While Warriors head coach Steve Kerr was relieved after the game that Curry didn't suffer an ankle or a knee injury, he might still have to miss time. The Warriors get back to work on Saturday night against the New Orleans Pelicans. Curry's exit from the lineup would boost
Jimmy Butler III's usage rate, while players like
Brandin Podziemski and
Moses Moody may also benefit.

Memphis Grizzlies center
Zach Edey (illness) will play on Wednesday versus the New Orleans Pelicans. He logged only six minutes in Monday's loss to the Denver Nuggets because of a migraine headache and was listed as questionable heading into this one. Luckily, the 23-year-old will be on the floor. Edey is still working his way back after sitting out to begin the 2025 campaign, averaging 10.2 points, 7.6 points, 1.6 blocks, and 1.0 steals. However, he's still worth a start in nearly all formats.

Oklahoma City Thunder guard
Shai Gilgeous-Alexander (illness) is cleared to suit up for Wednesday's meeting with Minnesota. He was listed as questionable because of an illness. However, after going through pre-game warmups, he feels well enough to play. It's unknown how sick he is, so there's a chance he may sit more than usual. Still, SGA should be featured in all fantasy lineups.

Miami Heat forward
Nikola Jovic (hip) will play against the Milwaukee Bucks on Wednesday. Jovic has missed four straight games due to a hip impingement. The 22-year-old was averaging 21.4 minutes per contest across 14 games. However, he will likely see fewer minutes than he did before his setback, as
Kel'el Ware and
Bam Adebayo have formed a productive frontcourt duo in his absence.

Miami Heat guard/forward
Norman Powell (groin) will play against the Milwaukee Bucks on Wednesday. A groin issue kept Powell out of action on Monday night against the Dallas Mavericks.
Andrew Wiggins (hip) is also set to return after a three-game absence. Powell's move to Miami has worked out well for him, as the former Clipper is averaging a career-high 25.4 points, 3.9 rebounds, 2.4 assists, and 1.3 steals. However, it will be interesting to see how well Powell meshes with
Tyler Herro, who made his season debut on Monday against Dallas, scoring 24 points in 29 minutes.

November 26, 2025
Milwaukee Bucks forward
Giannis Antetokounmpo (adductor) won't play on Wednesday against Miami. He's missed the last three games with a left adductor strain. While it appeared there was a chance the multi-time All-Star would be back for this one, fantasy managers will need to wait a little longer. His next chance to suit up will be on Friday versus the New York Knicks at MSG. In the meantime,
Ryan Rollins,
Kyle Kuzma, and
Bobby Portis are the favorites to lead the way offensively.

November 26, 2025
Miami Heat forward
Andrew Wiggins (hip) is available to suit up for Wednesday's matchup against the Milwaukee Bucks. He has missed three games due to a left hip flexor strain but has been cleared to play.
Norman Powell (groin) will also return to the lineup for this evening's tilt. Wiggins is averaging 16.7 points, 4.9 rebounds, 2.8 assists, and 1.1 steals in 33.1 minutes per contest this season and could provide plenty of fantasy production in his return.

Oklahoma City Thunder guard
Shai Gilgeous-Alexander (illness) is currently questionable for Wednesday's meeting with Minnesota. Fantasy managers should already be planning for his absence. However, it's not a lock he'll be sidelined, with SGA planning to warm up to see how he feels. If Gilgeous-Alexander isn't available, it will be all hands on deck, although
Chet Holmgren,
Cason Wallace, and
Ajay Mitchell may benefit the most offensively.

Miami Heat shooting guard
Dru Smith (hip) is set to suit up against the Milwaukee Bucks on Wednesday. Smith has been dealing with a left hip contusion, but he has yet to miss a game this season. The 27-year-old is averaging 6.3 points, 3.0 assists, 2.6 rebounds and 1.5 steals in 16.8 minutes across 18 games. He will continue to have a limited role in the Heat's rotation and will likely not factor in fantasy basketball this evening.

November 26, 2025
Miami Heat guard/forward
Jaime Jaquez Jr. (hip) is now available to suit up against the Milwaukee Bucks on Wednesday. Jaquez has been cleared to play after he was listed on the injury report earlier due to issues with his right hip. Coming off the bench, the 24-year-old has been excellent this season, averaging 16.5 points, 6.4 rebounds, and 5.4 assists in 30.4 minutes across 18 games. However, his reliable fantasy production could take a hit now that
Tyler Herro is back in the mix.
--Andrew LennoxSource: NBA Injury Report
November 26, 2025
Miami Heat guard/forward
Jaime Jaquez Jr. (hip) has been upgraded to probable ahead of Wednesday's matchup with the Bucks. The 24-year-old hasn't missed a game this season, but he was listed on the injury report as questionable earlier due to issues with his right hip. Jaquez is becoming one of the NBA's best bench performers, averaging 16.5 points, 6.4 rebounds, and 5.4 assists across 30.4 minutes. If Jaquez has a setback and is unable to suit up this evening, it would allow
Simone Fontecchio to take on a larger role in the rotation.
