Cleveland Cavaliers guard Darius Garland (ankle) won't play on Saturday against the Grizzlies. The 25-year-old has appeared in three games so far this season, averaging 13 points, five assists, and one steal. He'll presumably be more productive once he's back to full-strength. Garland's next chance to suit up will be on Monday versus the Milwaukee Bucks. As far as Saturday night is concerned, Sam Merrill, coming off a 12-point performance on Thursday, remains a viable fantasy streamer.

Memphis Grizzlies center Zach Edy (ankle) will play on Saturday against the Cavs. The 23-year-old averaged 9.2 points, 8.3 rebounds, and 1.3 blocks as a rookie. Unfortunately, he missed time to begin the season to recover from offseason ankle surgery. It's possible Edey will be limited for at least a few games. However, he'll return to the starting lineup, meaning Jock Landale will return to the bench.

Memphis Grizzlies forward Cedric Coward (foot) is available for Saturday's matchup with the Cavs. He was listed as doubtful on Friday night. Fortunately, the rookie was upgraded to questionable before ultimately getting the green light to suit up. Coward has played well in his first year in the National Basketball Association, averaging 14.3 points, 5.9 rebounds, and 3.1 assists. However, he's starting on Saturday, so he may be even more productive.

Charlotte Hornets guard LaMelo Ball (ankle, injury management) won't play on Saturday night versus OKC. He returned from a five-game stint on the shelf because of right ankle impingement for Friday's NBA Cup meeting with the Milwaukee Bucks. Ball struggled, finishing with 16 points, going 5-for-15 from the field and 2-for-6 from behind the arc. While he at least added 10 assists, it was still a below-average fantasy showing. Assuming the 24-year-old didn't suffer a setback in the overtime loss, he'll likely be back in the lineup on Monday against the Toronto Raptors. As far as Saturday's contest is concerned, Collin Sexton and Tre Mann are the favorites to see more minutes, with one in line to return to the starting lineup.

Toronto Raptors forward/center Collin Murray-Boyles (illness) is listed as questionable for Saturday's matchup against the Indiana Pacers and could miss his second straight game. The rookie has been a steady rotation piece early on, averaging 8.8 points, 3.9 rebounds, 1.2 assists, 0.8 steals, and 0.6 blocks in 20.8 minutes. He's also shooting 49.2% from the field and 50.0% from deep. If Murray-Boyles remains sidelined, Toronto will likely lean on Sandro Mamukelashvili to absorb his minutes, while Scottie Barnes and Brandon Ingram continue to dominate touches. For fantasy purposes, Murray-Boyles is more of a deep-league stash, as he is battling for minutes behind Jakob Poeltl and even Mamukelashvili in the frontcourt rotation.

Oklahoma City Thunder guard/forward Aaron Wiggins (adductor) has been ruled out for Saturday's game against the Charlotte Hornets, marking his fifth straight absence. Before the injury, Wiggins was enjoying a strong start, averaging 14.8 points, 3.7 rebounds, 2.2 assists, and 2.8 three-pointers in 27.6 minutes on 45.9% shooting. With Wiggins sidelined, Oklahoma City has leaned more on Isaiah Joe, Alex Caruso, Ajay Mitchell, and Cason Wallace on the wing, while Shai Gilgeous-Alexander continues to dominate usage. Fantasy managers, especially in deeper leagues, should try to hold Wiggins, as his scoring and efficiency profile still project as rest-of-season value once he returns.

Denver Nuggets center Nikola Jokic (wrist) is listed as questionable for Saturday's matchup in Minnesota after appearing in all eleven games this season and erupting for 55 points, five three-pointers, 12 rebounds, and six assists on 78.3% shooting in Wednesday's win over the Clippers. For the year, Jokic is posting 28.8 points, 13.1 rebounds, 10.9 assists, 1.8 steals, 0.7 blocks, 68.4% from the field, and 41.7% from deep, so any absence would reshape fantasy lineups. If he sits, Jamal Murray and Aaron Gordon should see clear usage bumps, while Jonas Valanciunas becomes a short-term streamer for points, rebounds, and field-goal percentage in deeper formats.

Cleveland Cavaliers forward Jaylon Tyson (head) will miss his third straight game on Saturday against the Memphis Grizzlies, as he remains in concussion protocol. The second-year wing was carving out a meaningful role before the injury, averaging 11.1 points, 4.0 rebounds, 1.8 assists, 1.3 steals, and 0.8 blocks in 25.8 minutes while shooting 48.9% from the field and 46.2% from three. With Tyson sidelined, and Darius Garland (toe) and Max Strus (foot) also out, Donovan Mitchell should continue to carry a heavy usage load, while De'Andre Hunter remains locked into big minutes. Deep-league managers can look at Sam Merrill and Craig Porter Jr. as speculative streaming options until Tyson is cleared to return.

Oklahoma City Thunder guard Luguentz Dort (trapezius) is listed as questionable for Saturday's game against the Charlotte Hornets and is at risk of missing his sixth straight contest. Through seven games, Dort is averaging 7.1 points, 5.0 rebounds, 1.6 assists, and 1.0 steal in 31.9 minutes while shooting just 31.5% from the field and 19.4% from three. With Aaron Wiggins (left adductor) also out, Oklahoma City has leaned more on Ajay Mitchell, Cason Wallace, Alex Caruso, and Isaiah Joe on the wing. Dort is a tough hold in standard formats while his shot is this cold, but in deeper leagues, he remains a viable stash or steals streamer if he is cleared and continues to see heavy minutes.

Philadelphia 76ers forward Kelly Oubre Jr. (knee) was ruled out for the night after leaving Friday's loss to Detroit, finishing with three points, one rebound, one assist, and two steals in under fifteen minutes. With Joel Embiid (knee) out and both Paul George (knee) and Jared McCain (G League) uncertain to return for the next game, this injury adds strain to Philadelphia's depth. Oubre has been a steady contributor this season, averaging 16.8 points, 5.1 rebounds, 1.3 assists, and 1.1 steals on 49.7% shooting and 34.3% from deep. If he misses time, expect increased usage for Quentin Grimes, VJ Edgecombe, and Justin Edwards, while Dominick Barlow, who just returned and logged 10 points and eight rebounds, becomes a deeper-league streaming option.

Golden State Warriors' G Stephen Curry scored 49 points on 16-of-26 shooting in a 109-108 win over San Antonio on Friday, Nov. 14.

Los Angeles Clippers' G James Harden recorded a triple-double, finishing with 41 points, 11 assists and 14 rebounds in a 133-127 win over Dallas on Friday, Nov. 14.

Sacramento's G Russell Westbrook recorded a triple-double, finishing with 13 points, 14 assists and 10 rebounds in a 110-124 loss to Minnesota on Friday, Nov. 14.

New York Knicks' G Landry Shamet scored 36 points on 12-of-19 shooting in a 140-132 win over the Heat on Friday, Nov. 14. Shamet is owned in very few, if any leagues.

Knicks' F Josh Hart recorded a triple-double, finishing with 12 points, 10 assists and 12 rebounds in a 140-132 win over the Heat on Friday, Nov. 14.

Houston Rockets forward Tari Eason (hip) didn't return to Friday's NBA Cup win over the Portland Trail Blazers. The former LSU Tiger logged only 11 minutes in total before suffering a right hip contusion, requiring assistance off the floor. He would finish the night with three points and five rebounds. Eason remains a valuable bench piece for the Rockets, averaging a career-high 12.3 points and 53.1% shooting from behind the arc, adding 5.2 rebounds and 1.6 assists. He may miss time. Of course, it's too early to speculate, although fantasy managers should still plan to see Eason on the injury report heading into Sunday's game versus the Orlando Magic. If he can't suit up, Aaron Holiday may be the favorite to see extended minutes. However, Holiday will need at least a few productive showings to earn a spot on most fantasy rosters.

New York Knicks forward OG Anunoby (hamstring) didn't return to Friday's NBA Cup win over the Miami Heat. He logged only five minutes before exiting, finishing with two points and three rebounds. The Knicks were already down Jalen Brunson (ankle), who could miss more time moving ahead. The same might be true for Anunoby, with the team reporting that the 28-year-old suffered a left hamstring strain. He's played as well as expected this season, averaging 17.1 points, 5.8 rebounds, and a career-high 2.1 assists in 11 appearances. Unfortunately, fantasy managers may not have him on Monday for the rematch with the Heat. Josh Hart may finally work his way into the starting lineup, although he'll still get minutes regardless of his role. Jordan Clarkson and Landry Shamet, combining for 60 points on Friday night, should draw streaming consideration, at least until Anunoby or Brunson are healthy enough to get back on the floor.

Dallas Mavericks forward/center Anthony Davis (calf) won't play on Friday versus the Clippers. He is apparently nearing a return. However, that won't come on Friday night, with AD now missing his eighth-straight contest. With P.J. Washington (shoulder) also sidelined, there should be extra minutes floating around for Max Christie and Naji Marshall, who can both be considered viable streaming options for most fantasy setups. Davis' next chance to get back on the floor will be on Sunday against the Portland Trail Blazers.

Dallas Mavericks forward P.J. Washington (shoulder) won't suit up for Friday's game versus the Los Angeles Clippers. The 27-year-old has averaged 14.7 points, 7.6 rebounds, and 1.3 blocks this season. He also appeared in all 12 of the Mavericks' contests throughout the 2025 campaign. Unfortunately, a shoulder injury suffered in Wednesday's loss to the Phoenix Suns will keep him out of the lineup. Fantasy managers will need to wait and see if he will return on Sunday against Portland. For now, Naji Marshall and Max Christie are the favorites to benefit on the offensive end.

Milwaukee Bucks forward Giannis Antetokounmpo (knee) will play on Friday against the Hornets. He isn't a stranger to the injury report. However, his latest issue, knee tendinopathy, was enough to keep him off the floor when these two clubs played on Wednesday night. Kyle Kuzma got the start in that one, although he couldn't do much with the expanded role, finishing with only eight points. While Kuzma's fantasy value was already low, it's even lower with Antetokounmpo back in the mix.
