Phoenix Suns guard/forward
Grayson Allen (quadriceps) will miss Sunday's game against the Atlanta Hawks with a right quad contusion. Allen has been a key perimeter scorer, posting 18.5 points, 4.3 assists, and 3.9 threes on 46.8 percent shooting. He has also shot 44.7 percent from deep, including a scorching 54.8 percent from three across his last five. His absence removes one of Phoenix's most reliable floor spacers and secondary playmakers.
Devin Booker should absorb more usage, while
Dillon Brooks gains extra shots on the wing. Managers in deeper leagues can look to
Jordan Goodwin or
Collin Gillespie for short-term help in assists and threes until Allen returns.

Golden State Warriors forward
Jonathan Kuminga (knee) will miss Sunday's game against the New Orleans Pelicans with patellar tendonitis. Kuminga averaged 13.8 points, 6.6 rebounds, and 2.8 assists in 27.7 minutes across 13 games before the setback, and his absence shifts Golden State toward more small-ball lineups.
Jimmy Butler III should see extra time at the four, while
Draymond Green is likely to pick up more center minutes.
Moses Moody and
Will Richard have started recently and should remain in the rotation, giving them deep-league appeal for threes and light scoring. Managers should hold Kuminga in most formats, as his role and counting stats remain helpful once he returns.

Washington Wizards guard/forward
Bilal Coulibaly (calf) is questionable for Sunday's game against the Brooklyn Nets. He averaged 10.5 points, 4.8 rebounds, 3.3 assists, 1.0 steal, and 1.0 block in 23.8 minutes across his first four games before the injury. Coulibaly brings defensive upside and has a path to low-end standard league value if his role stabilizes. The shooting remains a concern at 36.8 percent, but the rebounds, assists, and stocks keep him relevant for managers needing across-the-board production. His return would squeeze minutes for
Kyshawn George,
Corey Kispert, and
Cam Whitmore, making the Wizards' wing rotation one to monitor as he works back into the lineup.

Sacramento Kings forward/center
Precious Achiuwa (illness) is questionable for Sunday's matchup against the San Antonio Spurs. He has been filling in at power forward with
Keegan Murray sidelined. He is averaging 6.7 points, 4.7 rebounds, and 58.6 percent shooting in 18.8 minutes this season. Achiuwa is mostly a deeper league streamer for rebounds, field goal percentage, and occasional defensive stats, but he gains appeal if
Domantas Sabonis (ribcage) also sits. If Achiuwa is ruled out, managers in deeper formats can look to
Drew Eubanks or
Maxime Raynaud as short-term frontcourt streamers, while
Zach LaVine and
DeMar DeRozan could see even more small-ball usage.

Dallas Mavericks forward
P.J. Washington (shoulder) is probable for Sunday's matchup against the Portland Trail Blazers after exiting early against Phoenix and missing time. Over his last five games, he has averaged 13.0 points, 6.6 rebounds, 1.6 assists, 1.0 steal, and 1.4 blocks in about 26 minutes. He is shooting 42.3 percent from the field and 25.0 percent from three during that stretch. When healthy, he typically plays in the low to mid 30s. With
Anthony Davis (calf) doubtful, Washington should slide back into a primary frontcourt role, stabilizing Dallas' rebounding and secondary scoring. His return slightly caps the recent usage spikes for
Naji Marshall and
Daniel Gafford, but all three remain viable in standard leagues while the Mavericks stay shorthanded.

Chicago Bulls guard
Tre Jones (ankle) is questionable for Sunday's matchup against the Utah Jazz after posting 11 points, two rebounds, five assists, and three steals in 30 minutes against Detroit. He has topped 30 minutes in three straight games, but that workload is likely to shift with
Josh Giddey (ankle) probable after a two-game absence and
Coby White (calf) potentially making his season debut. Jones has averaged 13.4 points, 5.6 assists, and 2.0 steals over his last five. Yet, his role depends heavily on Chicago's injury-thinned backcourt. If both guards return, Jones becomes more of a deep-league assists and steals streamer rather than a standard-league hold, with a realistic drop to the low-20s in minutes.

Chicago Bulls guard
Coby White (calf) has been listed as questionable for a game against the Utah Jazz on Sunday night. He could be ready to make his season debut after practicing with the team on Saturday. This week, White also spent some time with the Bulls' G League affiliate to get in additional practice reps. It wouldn't be surprising to see the team initially limit White's workload. However, once he finds his footing, White should become an integral part of the offense going forward. He had a very strong finish to last season, posting 24.5 points, 4.4 rebounds, and 4.3 assists per game after the All-Star break.

November 15, 2025
Chicago Bulls guard
Josh Giddey (ankle) is on track to return to action on Sunday against the Utah Jazz, as the team has listed him as probable for the game. Giddey has missed a pair of games due to a right ankle sprain, allowing
Kevin Huerter to run with the starters. Only a handful of players have been more productive than Giddey at the start of the season, as the 23-year-old averages 21.4 points, 9.6 rebounds, 9.3 assists, and 1.0 steals. He could cook up something very special on Sunday, as Chicago and Utah are both ranked in the top 10 in the league for pace, making this an outstanding fantasy matchup.

New Orleans Pelicans forward
Zion Williamson (hamstring) is listed as questionable on the injury report for Sunday's game against the Golden State Warriors. There have been several positive updates on Williamson's recovery from a hamstring injury this week, and it looks like he might be ready to return to the lineup on Sunday. If Williamson's comeback doesn't come in Sunday's game, it might happen on Monday against the Oklahoma City Thunder during the second leg of a back-to-back.
Saddiq Bey has done an admirable job as Williamson's replacement in the starting lineup, but he will lose momentum if he has to return to the second unit.

Memphis Grizzlies point guard
Ja Morant (calf) was limited to six minutes in Saturday's 108-100 loss to the Cleveland Cavaliers. Returning to action after missing one game due to an ankle problem, Morant lasted less than 10 minutes against Cleveland due to right calf soreness.
Vince Williams Jr. took Morant's spot in the starting lineup for the second half, finishing the contest with eight points, four rebounds, five assists, and two steals in 27 minutes. Although Williams Jr. couldn't get it done offensively on Saturday, he will be an interesting fantasy piece if Morant has to miss additional time, especially with
Ty Jerome (calf),
Javon Small (toe), and
Scotty Pippen Jr. (toe) all missing from the backcourt.

Oklahoma City Thunder guard/forward
Alex Caruso (hand) has been ruled out for the rest of Saturday's game against the Charlotte Hornets, Andrew Schlecht of The Athletic reports. Coming off the bench, Caruso logged only 1:42 of action before hurting his right hand. His exit from the game allows
Isaiah Joe and
Ajay Mitchell to take on more shifts in the rotation. The team has labeled Caruso's injury as "right hand soreness," which doesn't sound too serious. However, he could still miss additional time because of it. The Thunder's next game is scheduled for Monday night against the New Orleans Pelicans.

Sacramento Kings center
Domantas Sabonis (ribs) is considered questionable for Sunday's clash against the San Antonio Spurs. He has played in four consecutive contests despite being listed as questionable each time, so it appears likely that Sabonis will remain in the lineup on Sunday. However, if he suffers a setback, the Kings will likely hand the starting center job to
Drew Eubanks, who recently filled in for Sabonis in the first unit a couple of times. Eubanks averaged 14.0 points, 3.5 rebounds, and 2.0 blocks in those contests.

November 15, 2025
Orlando Magic forward
Paolo Banchero (groin) remains out for Sunday's matchup with the Houston Rockets. He injured his groin during a recent meeting with the New York Knicks and wasn't available for Friday's NBA Cup game versus the Nets. He'll now miss his second-straight game because of the issue, although there hasn't been much revealed regarding his prognosis. While
Franz Wagner,
Jalen Suggs, and
Desmond Bane are the favorites to benefit the most on the scoring end,
Tristan da Silva, coming off a 22-point effort as a starter, is worth streaming in any fantasy format.

November 15, 2025
Dallas Mavericks forward/center
Anthony Davis (calf) has been listed as doubtful for Sunday's contest against the Portland Trail Blazers. This marks a downgrade to Davis' status because he has previously been on the injury report with a questionable designation. If there isn't a positive development in the next 24 hours or so, Davis will miss a ninth consecutive game. Fortunately for the Mavericks, they received some help in the frontcourt with the return of
Dereck Lively II on Friday night against the Los Angeles Clippers. After missing nearly three weeks of action, Lively II was limited to 17 minutes. His workload may increase on Sunday night, with
Daniel Gafford also in a position to see more playing time due to Davis' absence.

November 15, 2025
Indiana Pacers forward
Aaron Nesmith (knee) will be out of action for at least four weeks, head coach Rick Carlisle announced on Saturday. Nesmith sprained his left knee on Thursday against the Phoenix Suns. His exit from the lineup gave
Jarace Walker a new starting opportunity on Saturday against the Toronto Raptors. During a recent seven-game stint in the first unit, Walker averaged 12.4 points, 5.6 rebounds, and 3.7 assists across 31.0 minutes per game. If he sticks in the starting lineup, the 22-year-old is set to have additional fantasy value until at least mid-December.
