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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

December 1, 2025
Cleveland Cavaliers guard
Lonzo Ball (illness) won't play on Monday against the Indiana Pacers due to an illness. Ball also sat out Sunday's matchup with the Celtics.
Darius Garland (rest) and
Sam Merrill (hand) are sidelined as well, meaning
Craig Porter Jr. could absorb extra minutes off the bench. Fantasy managers could also look to
Jaylon Tyson for reliable offensive production as he will have an expanded role this evening.
--Andrew LennoxSource: NBA Injury Report
December 1, 2025
Houston Rockets center
Steven Adams (rest) will miss Monday's game against the Utah Jazz. Adams will have tonight's tilt off to rest after finishing with 13 points, 12 rebounds, two assists, one steal, and one block across 17 minutes during a 129-101 win over the Jazz on Sunday.
Clint Capela will likely be assigned extra minutes with Adams out this evening. However, Capela shouldn't be viewed as a solid fantasy basketball option, as he is averaging just 3.6 points and 4.6 rebounds per contest this season.
--Andrew LennoxSource: NBA Injury Report
December 1, 2025
Cleveland Cavaliers guard
Darius Garland (rest) is unavailable for Monday's clash against the Indiana Pacers. Garland will have the second half of back-to-back games off to rest. The 25-year-old finished with 21 points, three rebounds and eight assists across 31 minutes during Sunday's 117-115 loss to the Celtics. With
Lonzo Ball (illness) also out of action, Cleveland's backcourt will have to turn to
Tyrese Proctor and Craig Porter to take on extra minutes during tonight's tilt.
--Andrew LennoxSource: NBA Injury Report
December 1, 2025
Atlanta Hawks center
Kristaps Porzingis (illness) won't play on Monday night versus the Detroit Pistons. Porzingis will be held out of action for the third consecutive contest due to illness. Despite playing in only 12 games this season, the 30-year-old is still considered an everyday fantasy option, averaging 18.7 points, 5.9 rebounds, and 1.6 blocks in 26.3 minutes. It's unknown if he'll be ready to go on Wednesday against the Clippers. In the meantime,
Onyeka Okongwu remains a must-start at center in all fantasy formats as he is averaging 16.2 points, 7.4 rebounds, 2.8 assists, 1.9 blocks and 1.5 steals across 20 outings.
--Andrew LennoxSource: NBA Injury Report
December 1, 2025
Dallas Mavericks center
Daniel Gafford (ankle) is unavailable for Monday's matchup with the Denver Nuggets. Gafford will be out of action for the second game in a row due to ankle injury management. His next chance to suit up will be Wednesday against the Heat. With
Dereck Lively II (foot) also unavailable this evening,
Dwight Powell and
Moussa Cisse will take most of the available minutes at the five. Fantasy managers will likely get more value out of Powell tonight as he finished with nine points, five rebounds, three assists, six steals, and one block in 34 minutes during Saturday's win over the Clippers.
--Andrew LennoxSource: NBA Injury Report
December 1, 2025
Philadelphia 76ers center
Andre Drummond (knee) exited Sunday's game against Atlanta after six minutes and did not return, leaving his status for upcoming contests unclear. Drummond has been productive recently with 8.8 points, 14.8 rebounds, and 1.2 blocks across his last five full outings, so any absence would open a path for second-year big
Adem Bona. Bona logged 22 minutes with four points, three rebounds, and two blocks on Sunday and profiles as a deeper-league stream for defensive stats if Drummond misses time.

December 1, 2025
Charlotte Hornets guard
Tre Mann (ankle) is questionable for Monday's game against the Brooklyn Nets after logging only 10 minutes in his most recent outing, and his potential absence carries minimal fantasy impact. Mann has averaged 5.4 points, 1.4 rebounds, and 1.0 assists across his last five games on 37.9 percent shooting, keeping him off the radar in most formats. Second-year guard
KJ Simpson could enter the rotation if Mann sits, though he still profiles as a deep-league watch-list option.
