Philadelphia 76ers forward/center
Dominick Barlow (elbow) won't be available for the team's upcoming back-to-back set against the Orlando Magic and Washington Wizards. He sustained an elbow laceration in Saturday's contest against the Charlotte Hornets and underwent a procedure on Sunday to get it fixed. After impressing during training camp, Barlow has begun the season as Philadelphia's starting power forward. He has averaged 7.5 points, 6.0 rebounds, and 2.5 assists in 25.0 minutes. Barlow's absence for the next couple of games could lead to increased roles for
Jabari Walker and
Justin Edwards in the rotation.

New Orleans Pelicans forward/center
Karlo Matkovic (back) practiced on Sunday but has been listed as questionable for Monday's game against the Boston Celtics. A back issue has kept Matkovic sidelined for both New Orleans' games so far this season. Last season, Matkovic showed good potential, averaging 7.7 points and 5.0 rebounds in 18.8 minutes. He could have a busy night on Monday if
Yves Missi (ankle) can't play. If both players remain out, the Pelicans must rely on
Derik Queen and
DeAndre Jordan to get the job done at the number five spot.

New Orleans Pelicans center
Yves Missi (ankle) is considered questionable for Monday's encounter with the Boston Celtics. He injured his right ankle in New Orleans' season opener against the Memphis Grizzlies, missing Friday's overtime loss to the San Antonio Spurs. On Sunday, Missi practiced with the team, which is a good sign that he could be ready to return against the Celtics. To add depth at center, the Pelicans recently brought in veteran
DeAndre Jordan, who may have a significant role if Missi can't play against Boston.

Oklahoma City Thunder shooting guard
Isaiah Joe (knee) will have his season debut further delayed, as the team has ruled him out for Monday's road contest against the Dallas Mavericks. Joe hasn't yet fully recovered from a left knee contusion. With
Alex Caruso (concussion) and
Jalen Williams (wrist) also on the shelf,
Ajay Mitchell has enjoyed a special start to the campaign, with
Aaron Wiggins and
Cason Wallace playing significant roles in the rotation as well. All three will once again be solid fantasy options on Monday night.

Oklahoma City Thunder guard/forward
Alex Caruso (concussion) has not been cleared for Monday's game against the Dallas Mavericks, missing a third consecutive contest. The veteran has been sidelined since suffered a head injury in Tuesday's season opener against the Houston Rockets. Caruso's absence from the lineup has opened up additional minutes for players such as
Aaron Wiggins,
Ajay Mitchell, and
Cason Wallace. Mitchell has been the most productive of the trio, averaging 18.7 points, 4.0 rebounds, and 4.3 assists. Wiggins has also performed well, while it's been a bit of a struggle for Wallace so far.

Golden State Warriors center
Al Horford (toe) has been ruled out for Monday's meeting with the Memphis Grizzlies. The matchup will be the first leg of a back-to-back for the Warriors, and head coach Steve Kerr has said that he doesn't plan to use Horford in both games during these situations this season. The veteran should be back in action on Tuesday against
Ivica Zubac and the Los Angeles Clippers.
Quinten Post and
Trayce Jackson-Davis get extra runouts with Horford on the shelf, although neither player impressed when he sat out Friday's action against the Portland Trail Blazers.

Phoenix Suns guard
Jalen Green (hamstring) will remain out for Monday's clash against the Utah Jazz. Green continues to recover from a right hamstring strain, and his next opportunity to make his season debut will be on Wednesday night against the Memphis Grizzlies. Green's absence has given more offensive duties to
Dillon Brooks (groin) and
Grayson Allen. Brooks could also miss Monday's contest due to groin soreness, so Phoenix may need somebody else to step up and help
Devin Booker on the attacking end.

October 26, 2025
Minnesota Timberwolves guard/forward
Anthony Edwards (hamstring) has been ruled out for the rest of Sunday's clash against the Indiana Pacers. Edwards logged only three minutes of action before he was removed from the game due to right hamstring tightness. With him out,
Julius Randle has taken over Minnesota's offense, scoring 20 first-half points.
Terrence Shannon Jr.,
Bones Hyland, and
Jaylen Clark get an opportunity to impress without Edwards. Minnesota has its next game scheduled for Monday against the Denver Nuggets, and Edwards should be regarded as questionable for the contest.

Phoenix Suns center
Mark Williams (knee) is not on the injury report for Monday's contest against the Utah Jazz. Due to a knee issue, he sat out the second leg of a back-to-back on Saturday against the Denver Nuggets. In two appearances this season, Williams has been limited to 19.0 minutes per game. He's averaged 4.0 points and 8.5 rebounds. While he hasn't done anything spectacular, Williams has been more productive than Phoenix's starting center,
Oso Ighodaro, who has notched 6.7 points and 3.7 rebounds per game in 21.0 minutes.

October 26, 2025
Phoenix Suns forward
Dillon Brooks (groin) is listed as questionable for Monday's game against the Utah Jazz. He may be forced to miss his first game of the season due to a groin problem. Brooks is known as a defensive pest, but he's had a larger offensive role on the Suns squad with
Jalen Green (hamstring) out of action at the start of the season. Through three games, Brooks has averaged 19.3 points in 30.3 minutes. He already has two 20-point games for the campaign despite struggling with his shooting. If Brooks sits out Monday's action,
Royce O'Neale,
Ryan Dunn, and
Nigel Hayes-Davis may see increased playing time in the rotation.

Los Angeles Clippers guard
Bradley Beal (back) has been ruled out for Sunday's contest against the Portland Trail Blazers. The veteran is dealing with a back problem early in the season and was initially regarded as questionable for the game. So far, Beal has contributed only 5.5 points in 20.0 minutes as a Clipper, and while he's been a starter, the team has monitored his minutes. On Sunday,
Bogdan Bogdanovic will move into the starting lineup for his first appearance of the season.
Kris Dunn may also pick up a few extra minutes with Beal sidelined.

October 26, 2025
Sacramento Kings guard
Zach LaVine (illness) will be available for Sunday's tilt against the Los Angeles Lakers. The team has upgraded his status from questionable to available. The two-time All-Star has been battling an illness, and it remains to be seen whether it will impact his performance on Sunday. LaVine has kicked off the campaign with back-to-back 30-point efforts, shooting close to 55 percent from the field. On paper, he's in a great spot to extend the scoring streak, as the Kings face a Lakers team that's missing
Luka Doncic (finger, leg) and
LeBron James (sciatica).

Atlanta Hawks forward
Zaccharie Risacher (ankle) continues to carry a questionable tag on the injury report ahead of Monday's encounter with the Chicago Bulls. The French talent sprained his right ankle in the season opener and has missed two games. Risacher's injury has allowed
Vit Krejci to enter the rotation, but he has not made a significant impact.
Jalen Johnson (ankle) and
Kristaps Porzingis (illness) are also currently dealing with health issues, which increases the workload for
Luke Kennard,
Mouhamed Gueye, and
Asa Newell.

Atlanta Hawks forward/center
Kristaps Porzingis (illness) has been tagged as questionable for Monday's meeting with the Chicago Bulls. The Latvian big man has missed the last two games due to illness and may need additional time to recover before returning to the court.
Onyeka Okongwu has started at center in back-to-back games without Porzingis. He's done solid work on both ends on the floor and looks poised for another productive evening on Monday if Porzingis can't shake off his illness. Even if Porzingis returns, Okongwu should still see plenty of work in the Hawks frontcourt.
--Taavi PailkSource: NBA Injury Report
October 26, 2025
Atlanta Hawks forward
Jalen Johnson (ankle) has been listed as questionable for Monday's matchup against the Chicago Bulls. He's in danger of missing a second straight game due to a right ankle sprain. Johnson's absence on Saturday against the Oklahoma City Thunder gave
Mouhamed Gueye an opportunity to start. He had a solid showing with 11 points, six rebounds, and two blocks. If Johnson remains out on Monday, Gueye will maintain additional fantasy value. The likes of
Asa Newell and
Onyeka Okongwu may also contribute more in the frontcourt.
