Washington Wizards forward
Bilal Coulibaly (calf) is still without a timetable for his return, according to head coach Brian Keefe. Keefe noted that the third-year man was doing limited work during the team's shootaround on Wednesday. Coulibaly has been limited to just four games so far this season, all starts, due to injury. The Frenchman is averaging 10.5 points, 4.8 rebounds, 3.5 assists, one block, and one steal in his limited action. The Wizards, who haven't won a game since October 24th, continue to tinker with the starting lineup.
Kyshawn George and
Khris Middleton picked up starts at the forward positions for Wednesday's game against the Houston Rockets.

Atlanta Hawks guard
Nickeil Alexander-Walker (back) has been upgraded to probable, putting him in line to return to the lineup on Wednesday night. Alexander-Walker has missed the last two games with his back issue. Before that, the Hawks' offseason acquisition was starting at point guard for the injured
Trae Young (knee). NAW is averaging a career-best 17.6 points, 3.2 assists, and 1.8 stocks per game, while getting to the free throw at his most efficient clip. The Hawks swept the Los Angeles teams without Alexander-Walker. He and the Hawks continue their West Coast trip with a matchup against the Kings.

Golden State Warriors forward
Jonathan Kuminga (knee) will play against the San Antonio Spurs on Wednesday night, despite the questionable tag earlier in the day. However, Kuminga won't be in the starting lineup for the first time this season. Following Tuesday's blowout loss to the Oklahoma City Thunder, forward
Draymond Green publicly questioned some of the team. Today, head coach Steve Kerr announced there was an "obvious" need for lineup changes. Rookie second-round pick
Will Richard will pick up his second start of the season, alongside
Stephen Curry,
Moses Moody, Jimmy Butler, and Green.

According to Grant Afseth of DallasHoopsJournal.com, Dallas Mavericks center
Dereck Lively II (knee) won't suit up against the Phoenix Suns on Wednesday. Lively carried a questionable tag, but he has since been downgraded to unavailable and will miss his ninth consecutive contest due to a right knee sprain. The 21-year-old opened the season as the team's starting center in the first three contests, averaging 5.3 points, 5.0 rebounds, 3.0 assists, and 1.3 blocks in 17 minutes while shooting 77.8 percent from the field. With Lively still on the shelf,
Daniel Gafford will continue to take on most of the available minutes at center.

Memphis Grizzlies point guard
Ja Morant (ankle) will be sidelined for Wednesday's matchup with the Boston Celtics. Morant is dealing with soreness in his left ankle after tweaking it during Tuesday's 133-120 loss to the Knicks. Morant has averaged 18.9 points, 8.1 assists, 3.7 rebounds, and 1.1 steals in 30.8 minutes per contest across 11 games this season.
Cam Spencer will likely start while the 26-year-old star point guard is out, while
Jaren Jackson Jr. could see extra scoring opportunities during tonight's tilt.

Detroit Pistons forward/center
Isaiah Stewart (ankle) is out for Wednesday's game against the Chicago Bulls. Stewart will be out of action for a third consecutive contest due to a left ankle sprain. With
Ausar Thompson (ankle) also unavailable,
Ron Holland II will likely be in the starting lineup. Unfortunately, Holland has averaged only 7.0 points as a starter, so he has some work to do before landing on fantasy managers' radar.

Detroit Pistons center
Jalen Duren (ankle) won't play on Wednesday against the Bulls. The 21-year-old has played extremely well during the 2025 campaign, averaging 19.4 points, 12.0 rebounds, 1.2 blocks, and 1.1 steals. He was listed as probable on Tuesday night. However, Duren was downgraded to questionable before ultimately getting ruled out. With
Isaiah Stewart (ankle) sidelined, the Pistons will likely start
Paul Reed at the five. Reed is coming off an eight-point, nine-rebound effort in Monday's overtime win over the Washington Wizards, although it's safe to assume he'll be much more productive for fantasy managers in need of a streaming option.

Detroit Pistons guard
Cade Cunningham (hip) won't play on Wednesday versus the Bulls. The 24-year-old was listed as probable on Tuesday night, but he was quickly downgraded to questionable. He's now ruled out, so his next chance to get on the floor will be on Friday against the visiting Philadelphia 76ers. With
Isaiah Stewart (ankle),
Ausar Thompson (ankle) and
Jalen Duren (ankle) ruled out, the Pistons will need more production from
Caris LeVert,
Duncan Robinson,
Daniss Jenkins,
Javonte Green,
Ron Holland II, and
Paul Reed.

November 12, 2025
Charlotte Hornets center
Ryan Kalkbrenner (personal) is available for Wednesday's meeting with the Milwaukee Bucks. He was listed as questionable due to personal reasons. In the first 10 games of his NBA rookie campaign, Kalkbrenner has averaged 9.2 points, 6.6 rebounds, 2.3 blocks, and 1.0 steals across 26.6 minutes per contest. The 23-year-old big man has four blocks in his last five appearances. However, he is not a strong fantasy option for this evening.

November 12, 2025
Sacramento Kings guard
Zach LaVine (thigh) won't suit up on Wednesday versus the visiting Hawks. It's unknown how severe the thigh contusion is, although it's apparently bad enough to force the 30-year-old to miss his second game of the 2025 campaign. Under normal circumstances,
Domantas Sabonis (rib) and
Malik Monk (ankle) would see a few more scoring opportunities. However, both are questionable, meaning
Russell Westbrook and
Dennis Schroder might have above-average fantasy showings.
Nique Clifford, averaging 7.0 points, 5.5 rebounds, and 1.5 steals in two starts this season, can be considered for streaming purposes for those participating in deeper fantasy formats. LaVine's next chance to play will be on Friday in Minnesota.

November 12, 2025
Chicago Bulls guard
Josh Giddey (ankle) will be out for Wednesday's road tilt against the Detroit Pistons due to a right-ankle sprain. This evening's matchup will be the second game in a row he will miss.
Ayo Dosunmu,
Kevin Huerter, and
Tre Jones are expected to see additional minutes in his place. Giddey has been excellent this season, averaging 21.4 points, 9.6 rebounds, 9.3 assists, and 1.0 steals in 34.0 minutes per contest. His next opportunity to return comes Sunday against the Jazz.

Shams Charania of ESPN reports that Philadelphia 76ers forward
Paul George (knee) is in the final stage of his return process and will be re-evaluated later this week. George is moving closer to making his season debut, but team doctors want him to build additional strength in his left quadriceps before granting full clearance, per Charania. The veteran forward is coming off an injury-plagued 2024-25 campaign, during which he averaged 16.2 points, 5.3 rebounds, 4.3 assists, and 1.8 steals in 32.0 minutes per contest.

According to Keith Pompey of The Philadelphia Inquirer, Philadelphia 76ers center
Joel Embiid (knee) doesn't have structural issues in his right knee and is considered day-to-day. Embiid was out of action during Tuesday's win versus the Celtics due to right knee soreness. However, Wednesday's good news for the big man could lead him to play on Friday against the Pistons. If Embiid is unable to suit up,
Andre Drummond will likely continue to start at center.

November 12, 2025
Milwaukee Bucks forward/center
Giannis Antetokounmpo (knee) will be unavailable for Wednesday's matchup against the Charlotte Hornets due to left knee patellar tendinopathy. The 30-year-old has missed only one game this season but will sit out tonight for maintenance purposes. Through 10 outings, Antetokounmpo has averaged 33.4 points, 11.9 rebounds, 6.2 assists, and 1.3 blocks across 32.9 minutes per contest. With Giannis sidelined,
Ryan Rollins,
Kyle Kuzma, and
Bobby Portis could all gain a bump in DFS value.

November 12, 2025
According to Shams Charania of ESPN, Los Angeles Clippers guard
Bradley Beal (hip) has sustained a fracture in his left hip and will undergo season-ending surgery. The injury occurred during Saturday's 114-103 loss to the Suns. Beal was unavailable for Monday's 105-102 loss to the Hawks and further imaging confirmed the fracture. In his shortened first campaign with the Clippers, the 32-year-old struggled to make much of a fantasy impact, averaging 8.2 points and 1.7 assists in 20.0 minutes per game. With Beal now sidelined for the remainder of the season, veteran guards
James Harden and
Kris Dunn are expected to shoulder increased backcourt responsibilities for Los Angeles.
