According to ESPN's Shams Charania, Chicago Bulls guard Josh Giddey (hamstring) will "miss at least a few weeks" as a result of the hamstring strain that he sustained during Monday's loss to the Minnesota Timberwolves. The 2021 No. 6 overall pick has played well throughout the 2025 campaign, averaging career-highs in points (19.5), rebounds (9.1), assists (9.2), and three-point percentage (39.0%). With Coby White (calf) also battling an injury of his own, Chicago may roll with Tre Jones and Ayo Dosunmu in the starting lineup, making both players must-start options in all fantasy formats.

Orlando Magic guard Jalen Suggs (hip) is questionable for Wednesday's contest in Indiana. He's already missed seven games because of the left hip contusion, so fantasy managers aren't overly convinced he'll be back for this one. If he doesn't return, Tyus Jones will presumably remain in the starting lineup. Jones hasn't played the best in his eight starts, averaging 6.4 points, 3.6 assists, 2.1 boards, and 1.0 steals. With that said, he could be more productive versus an Indiana team that has struggled defensively throughout the 2025 campaign. Jones' potential might increase even more if Desmond Bane (back) can't suit up.

Orlando Magic forward Desmond Bane (back) is questionable for Wednesday's game against Indiana. He hasn't missed a game this season, although that trend may come to an end after he experienced back spasms in Monday's loss to Toronto. With Jalen Suggs (hip) also uncertain to suit up, the team could be leaning even more on Paolo Banchero and Anthony Black, with Tristan da Silva potentially gaining streaming value if Bane can't get on the floor.

Atlanta Hawks guard Trae Young (quadriceps) is questionable for Wednesday's meeting with Minnesota. He's been battling a quadriceps contusion, keeping him off the floor for Monday's loss to OKC. Nickeil Alexander-Walker entered the starting lineup, finishing with a team-high 30 points, adding five assists, four rebounds, and two steals. He also shot 6-for-14 from behind the arc. If Young misses another contest, Alexander-Walker is a must-start, even with Jalen Johnson (illness) and Kristaps Porzingis (illness) back on the floor.

Atlanta Hawks center Kristaps Porzingis (illness) isn't listed on the injury report ahead of Wednesday's game against the Timberwolves. He's missed the last 10 contests because of an illness, so he'll probably be limited from a workload standpoint in his first appearance after the lengthy layoff. However, Porzingis' presence will presumably send Onyeka Okongwu back to the bench. Although Okongwu will still hold a role in the rotation, his fantasy stock won't be nearly as favorable as a reserve, especially with a challenging matchup versus a potent Timberwolves defense.

Atlanta Hawks forward Jalen Johnson (illness) isn't listed on the injury report heading into Wednesday's game versus Minnesota. He wasn't feeling well, forcing him to miss Monday's loss to OKC, his first absence in nearly a month. Vit Krejci got the start in that one, finishing with 18 points, two assists, and one rebound while shooting 4-for-10 from behind the arc. While Krejci might still see additional work if Trae Young (quadriceps) can't suit up, his fantasy ceiling is considerably lower coming off the bench, even more so with Kristaps Porzingis (illness) also in line to return. As far as Johnson is concerned, he should be more productive if Young isn't available, although he may have trouble surpassing his usual statistical expectations against a sound Timberwolves defense.

Chicago Bulls guard Josh Giddey (hamstring) won't play Wednesday versus the New Orleans Pelicans. Giddey is dealing with a left hamstring injury that he sustained during Monday's matchup with Minnesota. Coby White (calf) will also miss tomorrow night's tilt, leaving the team without its starting backcourt. Without Giddey and White, Tre Jones will likely slide in as the primary ball-handler, while Kevin Huerter and Ayo Dosunmu will also take on extra backcourt minutes.

Chicago Bulls guard Coby White (calf) won't suit up against the New Orleans Pelicans on Wednesday. He's dealing with tightness in his right calf. White's injury occurred in the first quarter during Monday's loss to the Timberwolves. In 16 games this season, the 25-year-old is averaging 19.2 points, 4.7 assists, and 3.2 rebounds across 28.1 minutes per contest. Josh Giddey (hamstring) will also sit out, leaving Kevin Huerter, Tre Jones, and Ayo Dosunmu with a heavy workload for Wednesday's clash.

Memphis Grizzlies center Jock Landale (calf) is available for Tuesday's meeting with the Philadelphia 76ers. He was out of action for two straight games due to a right calf strain. Across 30 games this season, the 30-year-old big man is averaging 11.0 points and 5.9 rebounds in 22.3 minutes per contest. With Landale back tonight, Christian Koloko will likely slide back out of the rotation.

Philadelphia 76ers center Joel Embiid (ankle) is available for Tuesday's matchup against the Memphis Grizzlies. Embiid missed Sunday's game against the Oklahoma City Thunder due to a sprained right ankle. He is averaging 24.5 points, 7.8 rebounds, 2.3 assists, and 1.2 blocks across 30.0 minutes per game in six December games. With the star big man back in the mix this evening, Andre Drummond will return to his backup center role.

Utah Jazz guard Keyonte George (illness) is set to suit up for Tuesday's matchup with the Boston Celtics. The 22-year-old has been feeling under the weather but has been cleared to play. George is averaging a career-high 24.2 points and 6.8 assists across 31 games this season. He provides plenty of fantasy value for this evening's contest as he has finished with at least 20 points in his last eight appearances.

Washington Wizards guard/forward Corey Kispert (hamstring) will not be ready to return when the Wizards take on the Bucks on Wednesday. It has been a rough few months for Kispert, who missed 10 games with a thumb injury and then played only 13 minutes before leaving with hamstring tightness in his first game back. This will be his fourth straight game sidelined with his new injury, but the 26-year-old remains day-to-day. While he's out, Justin Champagnie and Tre Johnson should continue to get more minutes and usage, especially on Wednesday, when Kyshawn George (hip) is also out.

Memphis Grizzlies guard/forward Vince Williams Jr. (knee) is out for Tuesday's game against the 76ers, making it six straight games the versatile contributor has missed with this lingering left knee injury. Since Kentavious Caldwell-Pope (hamstring) is also out, there will be even more time available on the wings for Cedric Coward and Jaylen Wells, as the Grizzlies look to fill in for KCP and Williams. The next chance for Williams to get back on the floor will be Friday against the Lakers.

Washington Wizards forward Kyshawn George (hip) will miss a third straight game while dealing with a hip flexor injury when his team visits the Bucks on New Year's Eve. George is averaging 15.0 points, 5.1 rebounds, 5.1 assists, and 1.0 steals per game in 31.9 minutes per game in his second season in the NBA. Without him on Wednesday, Khris Middleton and Tre Johnson will likely get more work against Milwaukee, and Johnson has been surging lately and is coming off 24 points on Monday against the Suns. For as long as George is out, Johnson will be an intriguing streamer and DFS option for Washington, since he can be such an effective scorer when given minutes.

Sacramento Kings forward Keegan Murray (calf) was originally questionable but was upgraded to available for Tuesday's matchup against the Clippers. He was expected to miss a week when the injury was initially announced last Friday, but he's ahead of schedule and will be back on the floor this Tuesday. Murray is averaging 14.9 points, 6.4 rebounds, 1.7 blocks, and 1.5 steals in 37.1 minutes per game in his 15 games this season. His return will likely push Keon Ellis back to the bench, but it's a big upgrade for the Kings' offense as a whole. Like the Kings, get Murray back into your lineups for Tuesday's game, and be excited that he was able to recover ahead of schedule.

Detroit Pistons guard Caris LeVert (knee) was downgraded from doubtful to out on Tuesday afternoon before his team faces the Lakers in Los Angeles. He sustained the injury on Sunday in the third quarter against the Clippers. At this point, it's just being described as "soreness," so it may not be a long-term issue. On Tuesday, though, without LeVert in the second unit, both Jaden Ivey and Javonte Green will likely get more playing time. Levert's next chance to return will be Thursday against Miami.

Denver Nuggets center Nikola Jokic seems to have avoided major injury, but he will still be out for at least a month. After leaving Monday's game against Miami, Jokic was diagnosed with a hyperextension in his left knee. While he will miss at least four weeks, tests show that his knee ligaments are intact. Jokic will be the fourth Nuggets' starter sidelined, since Christian Braun (ankle), Aaron Gordon (hamstring), and Cameron Johnson (knee) are already dealing with injury. Jokic could return towards the end of January or early in February before the All-Star break, although it depends on how his recovery progresses. Jonas Valanciunas will be the primary replacement for Jokic, and the veteran should be a solid contributor for as long as Jokic is out.

Utah Jazz guard/forward Ace Bailey (hip) has been ruled out for Tuesday's game against the Boston Celtics. A left hip flexor strain will keep him sidelined for a second consecutive contest. Bailey's absence from the lineup gave Brice Sensabaugh a starting spot on Saturday night against the San Antonio Spurs. He finished the game with nine points, four rebounds, and three assists, shooting 3-for-5 from downtown. Sensabaugh has a great touch from outside, and he could be more involved in the offense on Tuesday if Keyonte George (illness) doesn't shake off a questionable tag.

Utah Jazz forward/center Kevin Love (rest) won't play on Tuesday against the Boston Celtics. The veteran will be rested for a second straight game. Kyle Filipowski, Taylor Hendricks, and Cody Williams have more fantasy appeal with Love out of the lineup. Of the three players, Filipowski has had the most success on the court this season, though his recent performances have been underwhelming. In Saturday's win over the San Antonio Spurs, Filipowski had six points, three rebounds, six assists, two steals, and one block in 22 minutes.

Denver Nuggets center Nikola Jokic (knee) looks to have avoided a major injury, Vic Lombardi of Altitude TV reports. Jokic hurt his left knee in Monday's loss to the Miami Heat and exited the game after the first half. He is scheduled for an MRI on Tuesday. According to Lombardi, the team hopes that Jokic suffered only a bone bruise. A big injury to Jokic would have serious ramifications for Denver's season and many fantasy teams. He will probably still miss some time but won't be out long-term. The Nuggets were already down three starters on Monday night, as Christian Braun (ankle), Aaron Gordon (hamstring), and Cameron Johnson (knee) missed the game.
