Detroit Pistons forward/center Isaiah Stewart (ankle) is listed as doubtful for Wednesday's game against the Bulls. With Tobias Harris (ankle) sidelined, Stewart had been starting. However, he tweaked his ankle during the win over the Brooklyn Nets on November 7 and will now miss his third-straight contest. With Ausar Thompson (ankle) on the shelf, Ron Holland II may continue to see some action in the starting lineup. Unfortunately, Holland has averaged only 7.0 points as a starter, so he has some work to do before finding a place in any fantasy lineup.

Detroit Pistons guard Cade Cunningham (hip) is listed as questionable for Wednesday's Central Division clash with the Chicago Bulls. The 24-year-old has played at an MVP level, averaging a career-high 27.5 points, 9.9 assists, and 1.4 steals with 5.4 rebounds. He also hasn't missed a game, which has been a problem at times throughout his career. There's still a chance he will suit up. However, if his condition goes in the wrong direction heading into Wednesday's contest and he gets ruled out, Caris LeVert may move into the starting lineup, giving him more credibility for fantasy managers. Daniss Jenkins, coming off a 24-point, eight-rebound, four-steal showing in Monday's overtime win over the Washington Wizards, could also be more involved on the scoring end, especially with Tobias Harris (ankle) and Ausar Thompson (ankle) sidelined.

Detroit Pistons center Jalen Duren (ankle) is listed as probable for Wednesday's Central Division showdown with the Chicago Bulls. The 21-year-old has had a monster season, averaging 19.4 points, 12.0 rebounds, 1.2 blocks, and 1.1 steals. He's also shot a career-high 80.8% from the free-throw line. It doesn't appear Duren is in any real danger of missing the contest on Wednesday. However, if he ends up getting ruled out, Paul Reed, coming off an eight-point, nine-rebound performance in Monday's overtime win over the Washington Wizards, could find himself in the starting lineup, that is unless Isaiah Stewart (ankle), who is doubtful, can suit up.

Detroit Pistons forward Ausar Thompson (ankle) won't play on Wednesday versus the Chicago Bulls. The 2023 No. 5 overall pick is having the best season of his career, averaging 13.9 points, 6.6 rebounds, 3.4 assists, and 1.8 steals. He tweaked his ankle during Sunday's win over the Philadelphia 76ers and wasn't available for Monday's overtime victory over the Washington Wizards. While Thompson doesn't have a firm return date, it doesn't appear as if the injury will keep him on the shelf too long. With that in mind, Javonte Green, coming off an 11-point, 11-rebound double-double, has streaming potential in deeper fantasy formats if he ends up getting the start.

San Antonio Spurs guard/forward Devin Vassell (migraine) is not on the injury report for his team's Wednesday night home game against the Warriors. Vassell had to leave Monday's game in the middle of the third quarter and did not return, but it doesn't look like he'll be impacted going forward. In his first nine games of the season, Vassell averaged 14.9 points, 3.8 rebounds, 2.3 assists, and 1.1 steals in 34.2 minutes per game before leaving his 10th game with that migraine. He should be ready to resume his typical role on Wednesday, but if the issue pops up again, Julian Champagnie and Keldon Johnson would be next in line for extra work.

Chicago Bulls guard Josh Giddey (ankle) was listed as questionable on the team's injury report for Wednesday night's road game in Detroit. He missed his first game of the season on Monday against the Spurs, and Ayo Dosunmu, Kevin Huerter, and Tre Jones picked up extra work in his absence, with Huerter moving into the starting five. If Giddey is out for a second straight game, Huerter and Dosunmu would be potentially good value plays. Giddey is averaging 21.4 points, 9.6 rebounds, 9.3 assists, and 1.0 steals in 34.0 minutes per game this season, helping the Bulls to a 6-3 start before their loss on Monday. He'll look to return against the red-hot Pistons, who have the best record in the Eastern Conference.

Milwaukee Bucks forward/center Giannis Antetokounmpo (knee) was listed as questionable for Wednesday night's game against the Hornets due to left knee patellar tendinopathy. Giannis has averaged 32.9 minutes per game in his 10 games this season while missing only one contest all year. He's produced 33.6 points, 11.9 rebounds, 6.2 assists, and 1.3 blocks with a 35.3% usage rate, which is the second-highest of all players averaging more than 15 minutes per game. If Giannis is available, he'll be in a great matchup, but if he's out, Ryan Rollins, Kyle Kuzma, and Bobby Portis would all likely get more work and bring excellent DFS potential.

Charlotte Hornets guard LaMelo Ball (ankle) was assigned to the Hornets' G League affiliate, the Greensboro Swarm, to get some practice reps on Tuesday, but he will not be ready to return to the floor just yet. He was listed as out for Wednesday night's game against the Bucks and will miss his fifth straight game with an ankle impingement. Without Ball, Sion James has been in the starting lineup, and in his last four starts, he is averaging 9.5 points, 3.3 rebounds, 1.8 assists, and 29.5 minutes per game. While James will likely start, most of the offense will continue to fall on Miles Bridges, Collin Sexton, and Kon Knueppel.

Utah Jazz forward Taylor Hendricks (hamstring) was listed as out for his team's Tuesday night matchup with the Pacers. Hendricks has averaged 4.4 points and 4.2 rebounds per game while playing 16.4 minutes per game in nine games, including three starts. The third-year forward is dealing with hamstring soreness rather than a strain, which would seem to indicate he could return relatively soon to his role off the bench. In his absence on Tuesday, Kyle Filipowski and Brice Sensabaugh will likely get some extra minutes in the second unit.

Sacramento Kings guard Devin Carter was a late addition to the team's injury report and will be sidelined for their Tuesday night matchup at home against the Nuggets. Carter is only playing 6.0 minutes per game and has chipped in only 0.9 points, 0.9 rebounds, and 0.9 assists in his seven games so far this season. His absence doesn't have much impact for fantasy purposes, but Nique Clifford and Keon Ellis could get a few extra minutes in his absence, especially if the game turns lopsided in either direction.

Phoenix Suns guard Jalen Green (hamstring) played just one full game for the Suns before leaving his second contest after re-aggravating his hamstring injury. He'll miss at least the next 4-to-6 weeks, according to the team, putting his return in mid-to-late December. Green was one of the key returns in the Kevin Durant trade to the Rockets, and his absence will leave more work for Devin Booker in the starting lineup and Collin Gilliespie, who has been very solid off the bench so far this season for Phoenix. Grayson Allen and Royce O'Neale should continue to carry more work while Green is out as well, and Allen has been especially productive in the early going, including his career-high 42-point performance on Monday. The Suns have gone 6-5 in their first 11 games and have won five of their last six heading into their next game on Wednesday in Dallas.

Sacramento Kings center Domantas Sabonis (ribs) was listed as questionable for Tuesday's matchup with Nikola Jokic and the Nuggets, but he has been upgraded to available. He played through a questionable tag on Sunday against the Timberwolves as well, finishing with 20 points, 13 rebounds, three assists, and one steal in 30 minutes. He should be set for his normal workload again on Tuesday night, and he has been taking more shots this season, which gives him a very high ceiling as a multi-category producer for the up-tempo Kings in what should be a high-scoring matchup Tuesday night.

Boston Celtics guard/forward Sam Hauser (wrist) will play through a sprained wrist after being upgraded from probable to available for Tuesday night's road game against Philadelphia. Hauser has averaged 7.5 points, 3.1 rebounds, and 1.5 assists in his 23 minutes per game this season. He has chipped in 2.4 three-pointers per game, and still carries some value as a sharp-shooter, but he hasn't been able to step into a larger role this season for Boston, even with Jayson Tatum (Achilles) on the sidelines. The Celtics are on the front end of a back-to-back, so he could get Wednesday off, but at least for now, it looks like the injury is something he'll shake off and be good to play through for now.

Golden State Warriors forward/center Al Horford (injury management) will not play on Tuesday in the first game of his team's road back-to-back in Oklahoma City. The Warriors have been very careful with the veteran's workload this season and will look to get him back for Wednesday's matchup in San Antonio. In his absence on Tuesday, Quinten Post will likely get more action. Post has started six of the team's last nine games and has scored exactly 14 points in three of his last four games. He'll have a tough matchup against the Thunder, but the minutes should be there for the second-year big man, with Trayce Jackson-Davis also lined up for a little more run coming off the bench without Big Al on Tuesday.

Memphis Grizzlies forward/center Brandon Clarke had an arthroscopic procedure on his right knee this past offseason, and he is starting to ramp up his basketball activities, according to the team's medical update. Clarke still has a long way to go, though, and is expected to return to play in six to nine weeks, putting his return around Christmas at the earlier end and mid-January at the outside edge. The Grizzlies are also without Zach Edey (ankle) right now, leaving Jaren Jackson Jr., Santi Aldama, and Jock Landale to fill time at center. Edey should be back well before Clarke, and Clarke will likely back up Edey when he's ready to get back into the mix further down the road.

Toronto Raptors guard/forward Ochai Agbaji (back) will miss his second game of the season on Tuesday night, when his team visits the Nets. Agbaji missed last Friday's game against the Hawks but started and played 15 minutes on Saturday against the 76ers. He only had two rebounds in that game, and his role overall this season has been relatively small coming off the bench. His spot start on Saturday was due to Jakob Poeltl getting the night off. Agbaji's absence from the second unit does open up more potential time for reserves Gradey Dick and Ja'Kobe Walter.

Brooklyn Nets center Day'Ron Sharpe (glute) has been ruled out for Tuesday night's game against the Raptors. Sharpe has averaged just 15.9 minutes off the bench for the Nets this season, chipping in 6.7 points, 5.3 rebounds, 1.7 assists, 0.9 steals, and 0.6 blocks in his 10 games this season. This will be the first game he has missed this season for Brooklyn, and his bench minutes could go to Noah Clowney and Danny Wolf, who will fill in at backup center behind starter Nic Claxton on Tuesday.

Philadelphia 76ers center Joel Embiid (knee) was not on the injury report and looked to be on track to play on Tuesday, but he was then ruled out on Tuesday afternoon. Somewhat alarmingly, it wasn't Embiid's left knee that was the issue for Tuesday, but his right knee. The big man was expected to return after sitting out Sunday's game, which was the second game of a back-to-back. He was coming off a season-high 29 points on Saturday and was starting to look healthy. Now that his other knee is also an issue, his overall health becomes even more of a concern long-term. He is being evaluated by team doctors, and the team will issue an update once they have a clearer picture of his availability going forward. His next chance to return would be Friday in Detroit, but until he's ready, Andre Drummond and Adem Bona will continue to carry more work for the surging Sixers.

Oklahoma City Thunder guard Luguentz Dort (shoulder) is out for Tuesday against the Warriors, marking his fourth straight missed game since getting hurt against the Clippers. Before the injury, Dort was averaging 7.1 points, five rebounds, 1.6 assists, and one steal across nearly 32 minutes per contest, though his shooting had dipped to 31.5 percent from the field and 19 percent from deep. With him sidelined, Cason Wallace continues to start on the wing and offers strong nine-category appeal for his steals, efficiency, and low turnovers. Isaiah Joe remains a pure three-point streamer, while Ajay Mitchell provides short-term value for assists and scoring in deeper formats. Alex Caruso, who is now healthy, is another solid defensive streamer who chips in steals and threes. Until Dort returns, expect Wallace and Joe to benefit most from the increased workload.

Philadelphia 76ers forward Paul George (knee) remains out for Tuesday's matchup against the Boston Celtics and has yet to make his season debut. The veteran forward averaged 16.2 points, 5.3 rebounds, 4.3 assists, and 1.8 steals across 32 minutes per game last season, providing strong two-way production and elite perimeter defense when healthy. His continued absence keeps the scoring and playmaking load on Tyrese Maxey and Joel Embiid, while Kelly Oubre Jr. and VJ Edgecombe remain key wings in the rotation. Quentin Grimes stands out as a reliable streamer for threes, and Trendon Watford has shown steady versatility in deeper leagues. Managers with an IR slot should stash George, given his top-50 upside when active. If you don't have an IR spot available, he is a hold in competitive leagues where impact wings are scarce. Expect Philadelphia to keep leaning on Maxey's creation until George clears contact and conditioning.
