Charlotte Hornets guard LaMelo Ball (wrist) is available for Wednesday's game against the Knicks. The 2020 No. 3 overall pick has been listed on the injury report plenty of times throughout the 2025 campaign, mostly due to ankle issues. However, wrist soreness won't be enough to keep him off the floor, and he'll now suit up for his fifth-straight contest. Ball has struggled offensively this season, amassing 18.9 points per contest, although he's made up for it by averaging a career-high 8.9 assists. As always, he should be featured in all fantasy lineups, although DFS managers may want to tread carefully, considering the Knicks have been sound defensively all season.

Chicago Bulls guard Tre Jones (ankle) has been ruled out ahead of Wednesday's game against the Brooklyn Nets. Jones has gone in the wrong direction after initially being listed as probable on the injury report. Now, Jones will officially sit out after tweaking his ankle during Monday's loss to the Orlando Magic. The absence of Jones should mean increased playing time for Ayo Dosunmu and Jevon Carter. Between the two, Dosunmu is the better streaming option for Wednesday's slate. Dosunmu has scored 15 points or more in three of his last four games. He should be able to produce viable streaming value with an increased role on Wednesday.

Dallas Mavericks center Daniel Gafford (ankle) is available for Wednesday's game against Miami after missing two straight contests. Gafford has averaged 7.2 points, 7.6 rebounds, and 1.2 blocks over his last five active outings, including an 11-point, 11-rebound double-double against the Heat on Nov. 24. His return steadies Dallas' frontcourt and immediately trims the minutes of Dwight Powell and Moussa Cisse, taking both off the streaming radar outside of very deep leagues. Gafford remains a reliable source of efficient scoring, rebounds, and blocks when he lands in the mid-20s for minutes.

Detroit Pistons guard/forwardDuncan Robinson(ankle) will miss his second game in a row on Wednesday versus the Milwaukee Bucks. Robinson is dealing with a right ankle sprain and was out for the first time this season on Monday versus the Hawks.Daniss Jenkins started while Robinson was out of action, registering six points, eight rebounds, and six assists. Even withCade Cunninghamin the lineup, Jenkins had the most shot attempts on the team. However, he finished 3-for-16 from the field. Despite the off night, Jenkins has done well as a starter this season and will be a solid fantasy option if he remains in the first unit against a weak Bucks defense during tonight's tilt.

Portland Trail Blazers forward Deni Avdija (ankle) is available to play ahead of Wednesday's game against the Cleveland Cavaliers. Avdija has been upgraded to available after being tagged as questionable due to an ankle sprain. It looks like he'll play through the injury during the second leg of this back-to-back set. It's possible that Avdija is somewhat limited because of the ankle injury. However, fantasy managers shouldn't be worried about his production. Avdija has been elite with 25.8 points, 7.1 rebounds, and 6.1 assists across 34.2 minutes per game this season. Fantasy managers should get him active in their lineups ahead of tip-off.

Houston Rockets center Steven Adams (ankle) is available for Wednesday's matchup with Sacramento after missing Monday's loss in Utah. His return shifts the frontcourt rotation after Clint Capela logged only 9 minutes in that contest, while Alperen Sengun delivered 31 points, eight rebounds, 14 assists, two steals, and five blocks across 38 minutes. Adams has averaged 10.2 rebounds over his last five active games, giving him deep-league value for boards and defensive stats, though his minutes tend to fluctuate. Capela remains the primary player affected, with his role tightening whenever Adams is active.

Cleveland Cavaliers guard Lonzo Ball (illness) is available for Wednesday's game against Portland after missing two straight contests. Ball last logged 17 minutes in Atlanta, producing three points, five rebounds, and four assists, and he continues to deliver low-usage playmaking with scattered defensive value when active. His minute volatility remains the main concern given ongoing injury management, making him more of a deep-league assists specialist than a standard-league hold. His return slightly trims opportunities for Craig Porter Jr. and reduces secondary ball-handling touches for Darius Garland.

Milwaukee Bucks forward Bobby Portis (eye) is available to play ahead of Wednesday's game against the Detroit Pistons. Portis was a late addition to the injury report due to a left eye injury. He was able to get through warmups without any issues, so he will be available for this contest. Portis has been a less than ideal fantasy option this season. He'll continue to battle with Kyle Kuzma and Jericho Sims for minutes in the rotation. So far, Portis is averaging 11.0 points, 5.5 rebounds, and 1.2 assists across 21.4 minutes per game. He does enough to warrant being used as a streaming option, but he isn't a must-have player in 12-team formats right now.

Milwaukee Bucks point guardKevin Porter Jr.(back) is available to suit up for Wednesday's meeting with the Detroit Pistons. Porter exited Monday's loss to the Washington Wizards with lower back spasms. The 25-year-old registered 30 points with 12-for-15 shooting before leaving the game. However, the injury won't keep him out of action for tonight's clash. If Porter has a setback this evening, Ryan Rollins, A.J. Green, andGary Trent Jr.will soak up the available minutes.

Milwaukee Bucks forward Giannis Antetokounmpo (groin) has been cleared to play ahead of Wednesday's game against the Detroit Pistons. As expected, Antetokounmpo will suit up after being listed as probable on the earlier injury report. The superstar forward figures to resume his regular role in the rotation. He's averaging 30.6 points, 10.7 rebounds, and 6.4 assists across 30.8 minutes per game through 16 games this season. Antetokounmpo is a top three fantasy contributor at the moment. Fantasy managers should double check their lineups and make sure Antetokounmpo is in there ahead of tip-off.

Denver Nuggets guard Jamal Murray (ankle) is available for Wednesday's meeting with Indiana after briefly carrying a questionable tag. Murray logged 10 points, four rebounds, and nine assists across 26 minutes in Monday's loss to Dallas, continuing a strong five-game stretch that includes 37, 29, and 24-point outings. His availability keeps Denver's offensive structure intact and secures his floor in all formats. Nikola Jokic maintains his typical usage, while Spencer Jones and Tim Hardaway Jr. retain deeper-league relevance with Aaron Gordon (hamstring) and Christian Braun (ankle) still out.

Los Angeles Lakers guard Luka Doncic (personal) won't play on Thursday versus the Toronto Raptors. The 2018 No. 3 overall pick is playing at an MVP level, averaging a career-high 35.3 points with 8.9 assists and 8.9 rebounds. His next chance to suit up will be on Friday in Boston. However, with Marcus Smart (back) also ruled out on Thursday, Gabe Vincent may handle most of the work at the point, giving him streaming value for at least one game. LeBron James, averaging only 15.2 points in his five appearances, should also take on more of the ball-handling duties, potentially increasing his usage and scoring opportunities.

Denver Nuggets center Nikola Jokic (wrist) is available to suit up for Wednesday's matchup with Indiana. He was listed as probable due to a left wrist sprain, an issue that's bothered him throughout the 2025 campaign. Fortunately, fantasy managers won't see him miss his first game of the season. As expected, Jokic is having another MVP-caliber year, averaging 29.0 points, 12.8 rebounds, 11.1 assists, and 1.5 steals while shooting 43.8% from deep. The 30-year-old could be in line for a productive evening versus a Pacers team that has struggled defending opposing bigs all season.

Miami Heat guard Norman Powell (ankle) won't play on Wednesday versus the Dallas Mavericks after tweaking his left ankle in Monday's win over the Los Angeles Clippers. The 32-year-old has thrived since his arrival in Miami, averaging a career-high 25.0 points while shooting 45.8% from downtown. Unfortunately, it appears there's a chance he'll miss time beyond Wednesday's contest. Without Powell in the equation, Jaime Jaquez Jr. and Kel'el Ware could find themselves in the starting lineup, although both players should benefit offensively regardless of their roles.

Phoenix Suns guard Devin Booker (groin) will miss at least one week after suffering a groin strain during the win over the Los Angeles Lakers on Monday night. That means fantasy managers won't have him in the lineup for upcoming meetings with the Rockets, Timberwolves, and Thunder. However, there's certainly a good chance his absence will extend beyond the matchup with OKC, although it's too early to speculate. The 29-year-old has averaged 25.0 points, 6.7 assists, and 4.1 rebounds this season. While he's shot a career-low 31.5% from deep, he remains a constant producer for fantasy participants in all formats. With Jalen Green (hamstring) also on the shelf, Dillon Brooks, Collin Gillespie, and Grayson Allen should all see a bump in usage and scoring opportunities.

Sacramento Kings guard Dennis Schroder (hip) is questionable for Wednesday's matchup in Houston after missing three straight games, keeping Russell Westbrook in a prominent ball-handling role. Westbrook has averaged 13.2 points, 7.8 rebounds, and 8.4 assists across his last five outings, including a 16-point, 12-rebound, 14-assist showing on Nov. 28. Malik Monk (shoulder), who is probable, has been volatile this season but still gains opportunity if Schroder remains sidelined, keeping him on the streaming radar.

Chicago Bulls guard Tre Jones (ankle) is probable for Wednesday's matchup with Brooklyn and is positioned for a larger role with Coby White (calf) sidelined. Jones has delivered steady production across his last five appearances, averaging 14.6 points, 1.4 rebounds, and 4.2 assists, and he closed Monday's loss with 20 points in 30 minutes. He profiles as a useful short-term streamer for assists and low-turnover guard play. Ayo Dosunmu should see a slight usage bump if Jones is limited or experiences any setbacks.

Houston Rockets center Steven Adams (ankle) is questionable for Wednesday's meeting with Sacramento after missing Monday's game and moving in and out of the rotation recently. His last appearance featured 13 points, 12 rebounds, and two assists in 17 minutes, but Houston has leaned heavily on small-ball lineups when he is unavailable. That shift pushed Aaron Holiday to 32 minutes Monday, putting him on the deep-league streaming radar, while Clint Capela stands to benefit if Houston leans back toward a traditional lineup. Adams remains a risky hold in most formats due to volatility.

Cleveland Cavaliers guard Lonzo Ball (illness) is probable for Wednesday's matchup with Portland after missing two straight games and continuing to navigate periodic injury management. Ball's recent stretch has been uneven, but he still averaged 4.8 points, 5.2 rebounds, and 4.6 assists across his last five appearances, offering steady playmaking when active. His most recent outing saw three points, five rebounds, and four assists in 17 minutes. He profiles as a deep-league assists and steals streamer, while Donovan Mitchell and Darius Garland handle the bulk of playmaking if he suffers a setback.

Dallas Mavericks forward P.J. Washington (ankle) is questionable for Wednesday's matchup with Miami, putting him at risk of a third consecutive absence. Naji Marshall has absorbed most of the power forward minutes, producing 12.6 points, 6.8 rebounds, and 3.0 assists across his last five games and playing 33 minutes Monday. His balanced stat profile and stable role keep him firmly in the short-term streaming mix. Managers should continue to hold Washington, with Marshall gaining the biggest boost if his ankle keeps him out.
