Golden State Warriors forward/center
Al Horford (injury management) will not play on Wednesday in the second game of his team's road back-to-back in Miami due to left toe injury management. The Warriors have been very careful with the veteran's workload this season and will look to get him back for Friday's matchup with Portland. Golden State could be very shorthanded with
Stephen Curry (ankle) sidelined and Jimmy Butler (back),
Buddy Hield (illness), and
Draymond Green (illness) potentially all unavailable for tonight's tilt. While Horford is absent,
Quinten Post and
Trayce Jackson-Davis are in line to be assigned extra minutes.

Minnesota Timberwolves forward
Jaden McDaniels (wrist) is unavailable for Wednesday's matchup with the Washington Wizards. McDaniels will miss his first game of the season due to a sprained left wrist.
Jaylen Clark will likely see increased playing time with McDaniels sidelined, and the Timberwolves' frontcourt will rely on
Naz Reid to take on extra minutes. Reid is coming off a double-double against the Mavs on Monday, when he registered a season-high 22 points, 12 rebounds, and two assists in 23 minutes.

Philadelphia 76ers center
Joel Embiid (knee) has been downgraded to unavailable for Wednesday's game against the Toronto Raptors after he was listed as doubtful on Tuesday. The former MVP will miss his fifth game in a row. Philadelphia has also lost
Adem Bona (ankle) from the center rotation, leaving
Andre Drummond to continue to see an expanded role. The former All-Star has had a strong four-game run, averaging 14.3 points and 13.5 rebounds across 35.4 minutes. Drummond could grab plenty of boards tonight as the Raptors tend to struggle in the rebounding department.

Golden State Warriors guard
Stephen Curry (ankle) will not suit up against the Miami Heat on Wednesday. Curry will sit out due to right ankle soreness after jamming it during Wednesday's 121-113 loss to the Magic. The 37-year-old could be back on Friday as the Warriors haven't labeled the injury a sprain. Along with Curry, Golden State could have several key players out this evening, as
Draymond Green (illness), Jimmy Butler (back), and
Buddy Hield (illness) are all potentially unavailable.

New Orleans Pelicans forward
Saddiq Bey (ankle) is in danger of missing a second consecutive game, as the team has listed him as questionable for Wednesday's clash against the Denver Nuggets. Due to
Zion Williamson's (hamstring) absence, Bey has enjoyed a good spell as a member of the first unit, averaging 14.7 points, 5.9 rebounds, and 2.9 assists. However, he landed on the injury report at the start of this week with a sprained left ankle. Williamson also remains on the injury report, meaning
Derik Queen and
Yves Missi could continue to start together.

Cleveland Cavaliers guard/forward
Sam Merrill (hand) is questionable for Wednesday's contest against the Houston Rockets. The talented sniper sprained his right hand in Monday's victory over the Milwaukee Bucks, and the injury may force him to miss his fourth game of the season. Merrill has recently been
Darius Garland's (toe) replacement in the starting lineup. Despite injuring his shooting hand, he nailed six triples during a 20-point performance on Monday night. If Merrill lands on the shelf Wednesday night,
Dean Wade or
Craig Porter Jr. could step into the first unit, increasing their fantasy appeal.

Dallas Mavericks center
Dereck Lively II (knee) is considered probable for a matchup against the New York Knicks on Wednesday night. The young big man has seen limited action since returning from a knee injury and was given the night off when the Mavericks wrapped up a back-to-back against the Minnesota Timberwolves on Monday.
Daniel Gafford (ankle) also didn't play against Minnesota, allowing
Moussa Cisse to make his first career start. On Wednesday, Cisse will be pushed back to the bench, as Gafford is also listed as probable for the contest.

November 19, 2025
Dallas Mavericks center
Daniel Gafford (ankle) is considered probable for Wednesday's meeting with the New York Knicks. He sat out a clash against the Minnesota Timberwolves on Monday as Dallas capped off a back-to-back. Gafford missed the start of the season with an ankle injury, but he has been impactful since entering the lineup. Over his past three appearances, Gafford has averaged 15.0 points, 7.7 rebounds, and 2.7 blocks in 28.4 minutes. Since
Anthony Davis (calf) is set to miss at least one more week, the times will continue to be busy for Gafford in the Mavericks frontcourt.

Minnesota Timberwolves forward
Jaden McDaniels (wrist) is on the injury report with a questionable tag ahead of Wednesday's tilt against the Washington Wizards. He might be sidelined for the first time this season after spraining his left wrist. While McDaniels is mainly known for his defensive abilities, he has taken a big leap offensively this season, averaging 17.5 points per game. He is also one of Minnesota's better rebounders, averaging 4.6 boards.
Jaylen Clark will likely see increased playing time if McDaniels isn't available on Wednesday night, although the Timberwolves might also choose to go with a bigger lineup and have
Naz Reid on the court more often.

Chicago Bulls forward/center
Jalen Smith (pectoral) is listed as probable for Wednesday's meeting with the Portland Trail Blazers. He played through a right pectoralis strain on Monday against the Denver Nuggets and appears prepared to do so again on Wednesday night. Smith serves as a backup in the Windy City, but he has posted some strong numbers. Across 13 appearances this season, the 26-year-old is averaging 10.2 points and 6.3 rebounds in 16.0 minutes. Smith has notched two double-doubles, both coming during his last five outings.

Chicago Bulls point guard
Tre Jones (ankle) is considered questionable for Wednesday's matchup against the Portland Trail Blazers. The 25-year-old is dealing with left ankle impingement and may have to sit out a third consecutive game. Even if he shakes off the questionable tag and returns, Jones is set to have less fantasy value moving forward now that
Coby White has entered the rotation. At the beginning of the campaign, Jones was starting in place of White, who sustained a calf strain late in the offseason.

November 19, 2025
Chicago Bulls guard
Coby White (calf) is not on the injury report for Wednesday's contest against the Portland Trail Blazers, indicating he will return to the lineup. After White made his season debut on Sunday night against the Utah Jazz, he sat out Monday's win over the Denver Nuggets. Against the Jazz, White made an instant impact with 27 points, eight assists, four rebounds, and one steal across 30 minutes of action. He was supposed to be on a 24-minute restriction, but needed to put in more work because Sunday's game went into double overtime.
Kevin Huerter stayed in the starting lineup over White to better manage his minutes.

November 19, 2025
Philadelphia 76ers guard/forward
Kelly Oubre Jr. (knee) will miss a second consecutive game on Wednesday against the Toronto Raptors. Oubre Jr. sustained an LCL sprain in his left knee on Friday in a game against the Detroit Pistons. The veteran was productive before his injury, averaging 16.8 points, 5.1 rebounds, and 1.1 steals in 34.8 minutes.
Paul George (knee) replaced Oubre Jr. in the starting lineup on Monday versus the Los Angeles Clippers, but he also won't play against the Raptors.
Justin Edwards may get the starting nod, with
Jabari Walker also in a position to play a larger role.
--Taavi PailkSource: NBA Injury Report
November 19, 2025
Cleveland Cavaliers point guard
Darius Garland (toe) won't suit up for Wednesday's game against the Houston Rockets. Due to a toe injury, Garland has made only three appearances in 2025-26, and it's unclear when he will be ready to rejoin the action. Following Wednesday's action, the Cavaliers have two more games to come this week, on Friday and Sunday. On Wednesday night,
Craig Porter Jr. will continue to have a more significant role in the rotation, while
Sam Merrill (hand) looks set for another start if he can shake off a questionable tag.
--Taavi PailkSource: NBA Injury Report
November 18, 2025
New Orleans Pelicans forward
Zion Williamson (hamstring) remains on the injury report as questionable ahead of Wednesday's contest against the Denver Nuggets. Williamson is close to returning from a hamstring strain, but it is uncertain if he will end his eight-game absence on Wednesday. His latest health issue has given
Saddiq Bey (ankle) a chance to impress in the starting unit. However, he is also considered questionable for Wednesday and may miss a second consecutive game. If neither player can make it back on Wednesday,
Derik Queen might be in for a very busy night. There will also be additional playing time available for
Herbert Jones,
Jordan Hawkins, and
Micah Peavy.
