Orlando Magic center/forward Goga Bitadze (foot) makes an early-season appearance on the injury report while he deals with a left foot injury of sorts. He's listed as questionable for the team's Monday night contest against the Indiana Pacers and could leave the Magic's frontcourt quite thin. Franz Wagner (illness) and Jonathan Isaac (hip) are also listed as questionable at this time. That leaves Wendell Carter Jr., Moritz Wagner, Paolo Banchero, and Jett Howard as possible options. The former three would all be viable as fantasy options.

Houston Rockets center Steven Adams (knee/calf) has received a questionable tag for Monday's game against the San Antonio Spurs. If he's able to play, this will be his first game since January of 2023. He missed all of last season while recovering from a knee injury, then suffered a setback at the beginning of this season with a calf injury. He'd likely slot in as the backup center and could even be on a minutes restriction if he does play. Otherwise, Jock Landale should remain as the backup center.

San Antonio Spurs guard Tre Jones (ankle) suffered a right ankle sprain during the team's season opener and has been ruled out for both games against the Houston Rockets. Over the weekend, head coach Gregg Popovich said that Jones could be out for as long as two weeks. Stephon Castle will likely see some added minutes while Chris Paul should be in the game more often too. With Devin Vassell (foot) still out, Malakhi Branham could see some opportunities as well.

Phoenix Suns guard Bradley Beal (elbow) appeared on the injury report ahead of the Monday night matchup with the Los Angeles Lakers. He's listed with elbow soreness and is officially questionable. The All-Star combo guard missed 29 games due to injury last season, so the Suns may be listing this as a precaution, but his injury status is still worth monitoring ahead of tip-off. If he's unable to play, Grayson Allen and Royce O'Neale will see added minutes.

Dallas Mavericks forward Maxi Kleber (hamstring) received a questionable tag while he continues to deal with a right hamstring strain. The 32-year-old was able to play in each of the Mavericks' first two games and played 15 minutes in both of them. While he's not on the fantasy radar right now, if he has to miss this game, his minutes will likely go to some of the starters. P.J. Washington, Daniel Gafford, and Dereck Lively II could all benefit in that scenario.

Orlando Magic forward Franz Wagner (illness) popped up on Monday's injury report later in the morning due to an illness. Right now, he's listed as questionable, but with the later addition to the injury report, his status is worth monitoring up until tip-off. If Wagner can't suit up, with Jonathan Isaac (hip) also listed as questionable, Moritz Wagner could step in to create a big lineup. Gary Harris, Cole Anthony, and Jett Howard all could see more minutes as well.

Orlando Magic forward Jonathan Isaac (hip) picks up another questionable tag for their Monday night matchup against the Indiana Pacers. The defensive-minded wing has missed each of the last two games after picking up the hip injury in the team's first game. The Magic have been erring on the side of caution with Isaac, so he remains questionable. If he has to miss another game, Moritz Wagner should see an uptick in minutes.

Golden State Warriors guard Stephen Curry (ankle) turned his ankle twice in the same game on Sunday. During the loss to the Los Angeles Clippers, the sharpshooter turned his ankle, returned to the game, and turned it again while making a move off-ball. He's set to undergo an MRI while ESPN reports that the team is "bracing" for him to possibly miss several games. Andrew Wiggins should see the biggest increase in opportunities while De'Anthony Melton and Brandin Podziemski will see more opportunities in the backcourt.

Nets' G Cameron Thomas scored 32 points on 10-of-21 shooting in a 115-102 win over the Bucks on Sunday, Oct. 27. Thomas is owned in very few, if any leagues.

76ers' G Tyrese Maxey scored 45 points on 14-of-32 shooting in a 118-114 win over Indiana on Sunday, Oct. 27. Maxey is owned in very few, if any leagues.

Toronto Raptors forward/center Kelly Olynyk (back) won't suit up for Monday's contest versus the Nuggets. The veteran hasn't played this season due to a lumbar strain in his back. At this point, it's unknown when he'll be on the court. Jakob Poeltl will continue to handle most of the minutes underneath the basket. But until Olynyk makes his 2024-25 debut, Chris Boucher should continue to benefit. However, Boucher has averaged only 8.7 points and 4.7 rebounds, making him an unreliable replacement in all fantasy setups.

Toronto Raptors forward RJ Barrett (shoulder) is listed as questionable for Monday's game against the Denver Nuggets. The former Knick has battled an AC joint sprain since the preseason. Fortunately, he's inching closer toward his 2024-25 debut, which may realistically happen on Monday night. Immanuel Quickley (pelvis) is doubtful, so his absence could mean an uptick in offensive production for Barrett in what may be his first appearance of the season. However, if Quickley and Barrett aren't on the court, Gradey Dick, Ochai Agbaji, and Scottie Barnes should lead the way on the offensive end.

New York Knicks forward Josh Hart (ankle) is questionable for Monday's game versus the Cleveland Cavaliers. The 29-year-old has played well this season, averaging 16 points, seven rebounds, and three assists. Unfortunately, he's in danger of missing the meeting with the Cavs because of right ankle impingement. The Knicks already have depth issues as it is, with Precious Achiuwa (hamstring) and Mitchell Robinson (ankle) sidelined. But if Hart joins them on the shelf, Tom Thibodeau may need to rely more on Miles McBride, Cameron Payne, and Jericho Sims. However, those three players aren't always reliable from a fantasy standpoint.

Memphis Grizzlies guard Ja Morant (thigh) is questionable for Monday's clash with the Chicago Bulls. The 25-year-old carried the same injury designation ahead of Saturday's win over the Orlando Magic. However, he was on the floor and finished with a 16-point, 10-assist double-double. There's a good chance Morant will be out there against the Bulls. But he may see fewer minutes than usual until the thigh contusion completely heals, keeping the door open for more production from Scotty Pippen Jr., who has averaged 10.0 points, 7.7 assists, and 1.7 steals from off the bench this season.

Boston Celtics forward Sam Hauser (back) is questionable for Monday's matchup with the Milwaukee Bucks. Hauser began the 2024-25 campaign by scoring 10 points and pulling down five boards in the opening night win over the New York Knicks. Unfortunately, he's been sidelined since due to back pain. With that in mind, if Hauser misses a third consecutive contest, the C's may lean more on their starting unit. Xavier Tillman Sr., Luke Kornet, and Payton Pritchard could see the most minutes from off the bench, giving them an upside for those participating in deeper fantasy formats. All three will also draw value attention from DFS managers if Hauser stays off the floor.

Miami Heat forward/center Kevin Love (personal) won't play in Monday's contest versus Detroit. The veteran averaged 8.8 points, 6.1 rebounds, and 34.4% shooting last season. However, he has yet to make his 2024-25 debut due to personal reasons. While Love isn't an everyday fantasy starter for most, his absence may open the door for more minutes for Haywood Highsmith and Thomas Bryant, although neither has done enough to find a spot in any fantasy lineup.

Toronto Raptors guard Immanuel Quickley (pelvic) is currently listed as doubtful ahead of Monday's game against the Denver Nuggets. It looks like Quickley is in danger of missing his third game in a row due to a right pelvic contusion. Davion Mitchell figures to remain in the starting five until Quickley is able to get back into the rotation. Mitchell finished with zero points and eight assists across 28 minutes during Saturday's game against the Minnesota Timberwolves. There should be better streaming options available during Monday's slate.

Los Angeles Clippers center Mo Bamba (knee) has been ruled out ahead of Sunday's game against the Golden State Warriors. Bamba has yet to make his season debut as he continues to miss time due to left knee soreness. His next chance to suit up will be against the Portland Trail Blazers on Wednesday. Until then, Kai Jones figures to continue serving as the primary backup center to Ivica Zubac. There isn't enough playing time available for Jones to warrant streaming him right now.

Brooklyn Nets center Nicolas Claxton (hamstring) will see increased minutes during Sunday's game against the Milwaukee Bucks, according to head coach Jordi Fernandez. Claxton has been eased back into action over the first two games of the season. He played 15 and 20 minutes over the first two contests. It sounds like he'll play more than that on Sunday. The expectation is that Claxton will play close to 25 minutes against the Bucks. He has struggled to make much of an impact with limited playing time, but should be back to being a consistent contributor soon.

Atlanta Hawks forward De'Andre Hunter (knee) is listed as questionable ahead of Sunday's game against the Oklahoma City Thunder. Hunter is dealing with right knee inflammation on the same knee that he had treatment on last season. The 26-year-old is off to a hot start as he recorded 24 points with seven rebounds and three assists in 33 minutes during the win over the Charlotte Hornets. The absence of Hunter would mean extended run for Zaccharie Risacher. The No. 1 overall pick has been quiet to start the season, but could be more effective with extended playing time.
