Tre Jones Questionable for Wednesday

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.

Coby White • SG • Bulls

Coby White Back in Bulls Lineup Wednesday

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.

Kelly Oubre Jr. • SF • 76ers

Kelly Oubre Jr. Unavailable Wednesday

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.

Darius Garland • PG • Cavaliers

Darius Garland Sits Out Wednesday's Game

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.

Zion Williamson • PF • Pelicans

Zion Williamson Considered Questionable for Wednesday

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.

Bam Adebayo • C • Heat

Bam Adebayo Could Return to Action Wednesday

Miami Heat forward/center Bam Adebayo (toe) has been listed as questionable for Wednesday's matchup against the Golden State Warriors. This marks a positive development, as Adebayo has missed six consecutive games without even getting a doubtful designation on the injury report. Kel'el Ware has looked great as Adebayo's replacement in the starting lineup, averaging 12.7 points, 12.5 rebounds, and 2.3 blocks over the last six games. Even with Adebayo back, Ware will continue to have decent fantasy value. But he must settle for a smaller role in the rotation.

Nov 19

Jalen Brunson • PG • Knicks

Jalen Brunson Questionable for Wednesday

New York Knicks point guard Jalen Brunson (ankle) is listed as questionable for Wednesday's matchup against the Dallas Mavericks. A right ankle sprain may keep the Knicks star on the shelf for a third consecutive game. If Brunson can't return on Wednesday, Miles McBride will probably continue to start. He has done well in the first unit this season, averaging 14.7 points, 4.0 rebounds, and 2.7 assists, although McBride's shooting numbers have been poor. Jordan Clarkson and Landry Shamet are also players who benefit from Brunson's absence. The latter has joined McBride in the starting lineup, filling in for OG Anunoby (hamstring).

Jerami Grant • PF • Trail Blazers

Jerami Grant Picks Up Late Questionable Tag

Portland Trail Blazers forward Jerami Grant (illness) has landed on the injury report a couple of hours before a scheduled tip-off against the Phoenix Suns on Tuesday night. Due to an illness, Grant might have to miss his first game of the season. His absence would leave Portland without a starter, as Grant replaced Jrue Holiday (calf) in the first unit on Sunday against the Dallas Mavericks. If Grant can't play on Tuesday, Portland must get more production from Kris Murray and Sidy Cissoko.

Nov 19

Kyle Anderson • SF • Jazz

Kyle Anderson Cleared for Action Against the Lakers

Utah Jazz forward Kyle Anderson (back) is available for Tuesday's meeting with the Los Angeles Lakers. The 32-year-old has appeared in only three games this season, averaging 7.0 points, 2.3 rebounds, and 3.0 assists. With Kyle Filipowski (wrist) ruled out, Anderson may see a few extra minutes of action. However, it likely won't be enough for him to do anything meaningful for fantasy managers. While there is a chance Anderson may enter the starting lineup at some point this season, he's currently not worth rostering in nearly all formats.

Nov 19

Jrue Holiday • PG • Trail Blazers

Jrue Holiday Ruled Out Tuesday

Portland Trail Blazers guard Jrue Holiday (calf) will miss a second consecutive game on Tuesday against the Phoenix Suns. The chances of Holiday suiting up on Tuesday night were slim when the team listed him as doubtful on the injury report, and he has now been officially ruled out. Jerami Grant (illness) was Holiday's replacement in the first unit on Sunday against the Dallas Mavericks. However, he has picked up a late questionable tag ahead of Tuesday's game, meaning Portland might have to switch up the starting unit again. With Holiday unavailable, Deni Avdija and Shaedon Sharpe lead the Portland offense and have additional fantasy value.

Nov 19

Taylor Hendricks • PF • Jazz

Taylor Hendricks Returning on Tuesday

Utah Jazz forward Taylor Hendricks (hamstring) will play on Tuesday against the Lakers after missing the last four games because of a hamstring injury. The 21-year-old is having the worst season of his career, averaging 4.4 points, 4.2 rebounds, and 23.5% shooting from behind the arc. Of course, that kind of production won't earn him much trust from fantasy managers. With Kyle Filipowski (wrist) out, Hendricks may see more scoring opportunities. However, it likely won't be much of an improvement from his current statistical contributions.

Nov 19

Kyle Filipowski • C • Jazz

Kyle Filipowski Won't Suit Up Versus the Lakers

Utah Jazz forward Kyle Filipowski (wrist) won't play on Tuesday versus the Lakers. The former Duke Blue Devil averaged 9.6 points, 6.1 rebounds, and 35.0% shooting from deep as a rookie. However, he hasn't been as productive throughout his sophomore campaign. Filipowski will miss his first contest of the year on Tuesday night, although it appears he has a chance to suit up on Friday against OKC. Brice Sensabaugh and Taylor Hendricks (hamstring), who is available, could be in line for more work.

Nov 19

LeBron James • SF • Lakers

LeBron James Will Play on Tuesday Night

According to ESPN's Shams Charania, Los Angeles Lakers forward LeBron James (back) will play on Tuesday against the Utah Jazz. The multi-time All-Star averaged 24.4 points last season, his fewest since his rookie campaign, adding 7.8 rebounds, 8.2 assists, and 1.0 steals. While James isn't as productive as he used to be, which is expected, he should always be featured in all fantasy lineups. That will remain true even if the 40-year-old doesn't receive a full allotment of minutes on Tuesday night, as he works his way back from Sciatica. With that said, it will be interesting to see how James' presence impacts Luka Doncic and Austin Reaves, who are both having the best seasons of their careers.

Keegan Murray • PF • Kings

Keegan Murray Expected to Make Season Debut Thursday

Sacramento Kings forward Keegan Murray (thumb) is expected to make his season debut Thursday, per Jason Anderson. The third-year forward averaged 12.4 points, 6.7 rebounds, and 1.4 assists last season while shooting 44.4 percent from the field. His return brings needed stability to the frontcourt but also forces fantasy managers to monitor Sacramento's rotations closely, as coach Doug Christie has been shuffling lineups early in the year. Reduced minutes and touches are likely for Russell Westbrook, Dennis Schroder, Keon Ellis, Precious Achiuwa, and rookie Nique Clifford once Murray is fully reintegrated. Murray belongs in all lineups, with his scoring, rebounding, and defensive contributions projected to ramp up quickly. Fringe Kings options may lose streaming value as the rotation tightens.

Alexandre Sarr • PF • Wizards

Alexandre Sarr Uncertain for Wednesday's Game in Minnesota

Washington Wizards center Alexandre Sarr (toe) is questionable for Wednesday's game against the Minnesota Timberwolves due to left big toe soreness. The second-year big has been outstanding, averaging 18.3 points, 8.2 rebounds, and 3.6 assists over his last five contests. He is shooting 51.9 percent from the field and 40.6 percent from deep during that stretch. If he is unable to go, Washington will need to piece together frontcourt minutes, with Marvin Bagley III and Tristan Vukcevic likely absorbing most of the workload. Bagley is the preferred streamer for rebounds and points, while Vukcevic fits as a deeper-league option for threes and blocks. Kyshawn George and Bilal Coulibaly may also see small usage bumps.

Nov 18

Ausar Thompson • SG • Pistons

Ausar Thompson Returning Versus Atlanta

Detroit Pistons forward Ausar Thompson (ankle) will play on Tuesday against Atlanta. The 22-year-old has averaged 13.9 points, 6.6 rebounds, 3.4 assists, and 1.8 steals this season, so it was unfortunate when an ankle injury kept him off the floor for Detroit's last four games. Even with the chance of fewer minutes than usual, Thompson should find a spot in most fantasy lineups. His return should mean less work for Ron Holland II.

Nov 18

Cade Cunningham • PG • Pistons

Cade Cunningham Active on Tuesday Night

Detroit Pistons guard Cade Cunningham (hip) will suit up on Tuesday versus the Hawks. The 24-year-old has played exceptionally well during the 2025 campaign, averaging a career-high 27.5 points with 5.4 rebounds, 9.9 assists, and 1.4 steals. That trend should continue against Atlanta, especially if he doesn't have a minutes cap. With Cunningham back on the floor, Daniss Jenkins will presumably head back to the bench after an impressive stretch as a starter.

Nov 18

Jabari Smith Jr. • PF • Rockets

Jabari Smith Jr. Questionable with Knee Issue Ahead of Meeting Versus Cleveland

Houston Rockets forward/center Jabari Smith Jr. (knee) is questionable for Wednesday's game against the Cleveland Cavaliers due to right knee tendinopathy. The fourth-year forward is averaging 14.5 points, 6.4 rebounds, and 1.6 assists on 45.7 percent shooting, and he logged 43 minutes in his last outing. With Tari Eason (oblique) already out, his absence would push Houston further into its depth. Josh Okogie is positioned to pick up extra wing minutes, while Steven Adams and Clint Capela offer short-term streaming appeal for rebounds and defensive stats if Houston shifts bigger. Jeff Green may also see a small bump as a deeper-league option.

Nov 18

Domantas Sabonis • C • Kings

Domantas Sabonis to Miss Wednesday's Game

Sacramento Kings center Domantas Sabonis (knee) will sit out the first leg of a back-to-back on Wednesday against the Oklahoma City Thunder. After playing through a ribcage contusion lately, Sabonis has been listed on the injury report with left knee soreness. Drew Eubanks looks set to fill in for Sabonis in the first unit and will have some fantasy appeal. Meanwhile, Precious Achiuwa also figures to be more involved in the rotation without Sabonis. However, it's going to be a tricky contest for Sacramento's backup bigs, as the Thunder give up the second-fewest fantasy points to opposing centers.

Nov 18

Paul George • SF • 76ers

Paul George Won't Play Wednesday Night

Philadelphia 76ers forward Paul George (knee) has been ruled out for Wednesday's encounter with the Toronto Raptors. The injury-prone star made his season debut on Monday against the Los Angeles Clippers, but he will be held out of action on Wednesday night as the team begins a back-to-back. George finished his season debut against the Clippers with nine points, seven rebounds, three assists, and two blocks in 21 minutes. With Joel Embiid (knee) likely also unavailable on Wednesday, Tyrese Maxey, VJ Edgecombe, and Quentin Grimes will do most of the work on the offensive end.
