Utah Jazz forward/center
Kevin Love (rest) will be out of action for Monday's matchup with the Golden State Warriors. Love will miss the second leg of a back-to-back set to rest after posting four points, nine rebounds, two assists across 13 minutes during Sunday's 108-106 loss to the Lakers. With a limited role, Love hasn't made much of an impact in fantasy basketball in a while.
Kyle Filipowski could receive some extra attention from fantasy managers for tonight's contest as he will likely see additional minutes off the bench with Love out.

Phoenix Suns guard/forward
Grayson Allen (quadriceps) and forward
Ryan Dunn (wrist) will miss Monday's game against Houston, leaving the wing rotation thin. Allen had averaged 21.8 points with 2.2 rebounds, 3.2 assists, and 2.2 steals over his last five games while shooting 59.3 percent from the field and 52.5 percent from deep. Dunn had been contributing steady defense and rebounding in smaller minutes. Their absence pushes
Collin Gillespie and
Royce O'Neale into larger roles, with Gillespie offering more playmaking and O'Neale profiling as a threes-and-steals streamer in standard formats.

November 24, 2025
Dallas Mavericks forward/center
Anthony Davis (calf) won't play on Monday versus Miami. He's already missed 13 games because of the calf injury. While there are some reports indicating AD is inching his way closer to a return, fantasy managers will need to see it to believe it. With
Dereck Lively II (foot) also sidelined,
Daniel Gafford could see a few additional minutes, although he's only averaged 9.7 points, 6.3 rebounds, and 1.6 blocks, all down from the 2024 campaign.
Moussa Cisse may also be more involved, giving him a higher ceiling for those participating in deeper fantasy setups.

November 24, 2025
Cleveland Cavaliers guard
Lonzo Ball (knee) is available to suit up against the Toronto Raptors on Monday. Ball missed Sunday's contest against the Clippers due to left knee injury management. The 28-year-old has averaged 5.9 points, 4.1 rebounds, 5.1 assists, and 1.2 steals across 23.3 minutes over his last five outings. With guard
Sam Merrill (hand) and guard
Craig Porter Jr. (hamstring) both out, Ball could absorb plenty of extra backcourt minutes and be a solid streaming option based on assists and steals for this evening's matchup.

November 24, 2025
Golden State Warriors forward/center
Draymond Green (foot) will miss Monday's game against Utah after injuring his foot on a loose-ball sequence in Portland. Green last posted 11 points, five rebounds, seven assists, three steals, and one block in 33 minutes, but his absence shifts the frontcourt toward
Trayce Jackson-Davis and
Quinten Post. Jackson-Davis showed promise with eight points, 12 rebounds, and one block in his latest start, making him a tentative streaming consideration. Post remains more of a deep-league flier for perimeter shooting and spot defensive stats.

November 24, 2025
Cleveland Cavaliers guard
Sam Merrill (hand) and guard
Craig Porter Jr. (hamstring) will miss Monday's matchup with the Toronto Raptors. Tonight's clash will be the fourth game in a row that Merrill will miss due to a right-hand sprain. A lingering hamstring injury will keep Porter out of action for the second straight contest. With a depleted Cavs backcourt, fantasy managers could turn to
Lonzo Ball, who is expected to see plenty of minutes this evening.

November 24, 2025
Toronto Raptors forward
RJ Barrett (knee) won't play on Monday versus Cleveland. The former Knick sprained his left knee in Sunday's win over the Brooklyn Nets. Unfortunately, it will cost him his first game of the 2025 campaign, although it appears he may miss more time beyond Monday night. In the meantime,
Gradey Dick and
Jamal Shead may benefit the most from a minutes standpoint, with one potentially in line to enter the starting lineup. However, both are risky fantasy options, even with the chance of expanded roles, considering
Brandon Ingram,
Scottie Barnes, and
Immanuel Quickley may take the most advantage of Barrett's absence.
--Dennis ClausenSource: NBA Injury Report
November 24, 2025
Cleveland Cavaliers forward
De'Andre Hunter (rest) won't suit up on Monday versus the Toronto Raptors. Hunter will miss tonight's tilt to rest after finishing with 17 points, four rebounds, four assists, and one steal during Sunday's 120-105 win over the Clippers.
Jarrett Allen (finger) is also unavailable.
Dean Wade (knee) is considered questionable for this evening, but if he can suit up, he could absorb some of the freed-up minutes Allen and Hunter left on the table.
--Andrew LennoxSource: NBA Injury Report
November 24, 2025
New York Knicks center
Mitchell Robinson (illness) won't play on Monday versus the Brooklyn Nets, marking his sixth absence of the 2025 campaign. The 27-year-old isn't hurt, which is always a plus for fantasy managers, considering his lengthy injury history. However, he's not feeling well, marking his first absence since November 11. With that in mind, Robinson might be back when the Knicks play in Charlotte on Wednesday evening. In the meantime,
Karl-Anthony Towns will presumably slide over to the five spot,
Jordan Clarkson and
Josh Hart are in line to see more minutes than usual, with one of them potentially entering the starting lineup.
Precious Achiuwa may also see more action, although he's averaged only 2.7 points and 2.4 boards in 14 games this season, making him tough to trust from a fantasy standpoint, even with the chance of an expanded role.
--Dennis ClausenSource: NBA Injury Report
November 24, 2025
Cleveland Cavaliers center
Jarrett Allen (finger) will remain sidelined on Monday against the Toronto Raptors due to a right third finger strain, marking his third straight absence. Allen has been solid across 14 contests, averaging 14.8 points, 7.6 rebounds, 1.9 assists, 1.1 steals, and 0.9 blocks in 26.0 minutes while shooting 57.7 percent. His next chance to suit up is on Friday against the Hawks, but a timetable for when the 27-year-old big man will be ready to return has not been set.

November 24, 2025
Miami Heat forward
Andrew Wiggins (hip) and guard
Norman Powell (groin) won't play on Monday versus the Mavericks. It's a tough blow for Miami, with both players averaging a combined 42.1 points this season. Fortunately,
Tyler Herro (foot, ankle) is projected to make his 2025 debut on Monday night, which will help lessen the blow, even if he plays fewer than the 32.6 minutes per game that he's averaged throughout his career. Of course,
Bam Adebayo and
Kel'el Ware remain must-start fantasy options in all formats, considering the duo should see more scoring chances. The same can be said for
Jaime Jaquez Jr., who is coming off a potent 22-point effort in Sunday's win over the Philadelphia 76ers.
--Dennis ClausenSource: NBA Injury Report
November 24, 2025
Cleveland Cavaliers guard
Darius Garland (toe) is unavailable for Monday's clash with the Toronto Raptors. Garland will sit out the second half of a back-to-back set due to toe injury management. He has played only five games this season due to a left great toe injury, so the Cavs are being cautious and keeping him out of action this evening. The 25-year-old will likely suit up again on Friday against the Hawks. With
De'Andre Hunter (rest) also sidelined,
Jaylon Tyson will likely see an expanded role during tonight's contest.
--Andrew LennoxSource: NBA Injury Report
November 23, 2025
Denver Nuggets forward
Aaron Gordon (hamstring) will miss at least four to six weeks after being diagnosed with a Grade 2 right hamstring strain, removing one of Denver's key frontcourt pieces for the foreseeable future. Gordon was producing 18.8 points, 5.9 rebounds, 1.3 assists, 0.8 steals, and 0.2 blocks in 28.3 minutes on 53.2 percent shooting before the injury, making him an IL stash in most formats.
Peyton Watson steps in as the primary replacement and should see a clear bump in minutes, while
Cameron Johnson gains added stability across scoring and rebounding. With
Christian Braun (ankle) also out,
Bruce Brown and
Tim Hardaway Jr. remain viable short-term streamers for threes, points, and supplemental defensive stats.

November 23, 2025
Dallas Mavericks center
Dereck Lively II (foot) is sidelined for Monday's matchup against Miami, extending a pattern of stops and starts after missing a large chunk of the early season. Lively has averaged 17.1 minutes in his last five games, contributing 3.6 points, 5.8 rebounds, 1.6 assists, 0.4 steals, and 2.0 blocks on 54.5 percent shooting. The limited workload keeps him closer to an IL stash than a dependable active-roster piece. His absence keeps
Daniel Gafford in a steady role at center, while
Moussa Cisse provides depth and
P.J. Washington picks up extra rebounding volume when healthy.
--Brian DailisanSource: Grant Afseth
November 23, 2025
Dallas Mavericks forward/center
Anthony Davis (calf) is listed as doubtful for Sunday's matchup with Miami, keeping his availability very much in question after already missing a lengthy stretch. Davis has appeared in only five games for Dallas but has delivered strong production when available, posting 20.8 points, 10.2 rebounds, 2.2 assists, 1.6 steals, and 1.2 blocks in 30.0 minutes on 52.0 percent shooting. His limited durability remains the primary concern for fantasy managers, as another missed game reinforces the need for contingency plans at center.
P.J. Washington and
Daniel Gafford gain stability in the frontcourt, while
Dereck Lively II's (foot) continued absence further concentrates minutes among the remaining bigs.
