According to NBA reporter Marc Stein, Utah Jazz forward Lauri Markkanen (wrist) is considered day-to-day with a right wrist sprain. Markkanen sustained the injury in the first quarter of Monday's 110-105 loss to the Memphis Grizzlies. With Jaren Jackson Jr. (knee) expected to miss six to eight weeks, Utah's frontcourt rotation is suddenly depleted. If Markkanen misses time, Ace Bailey could see more scoring opportunities, while Mo Bamba and Kyle Filipowski could take on expanded frontcourt roles.

According to Joey Linn of SI.com, Los Angeles Clippers forward Rui Hachimura (quadriceps) did not practice Tuesday and has been ruled out for Wednesday's matchup against his former team, the Los Angeles Lakers. Hachimura is dealing with left quad soreness after posting five points and grabbing four rebounds across 29 minutes in Sunday's 108-101 loss to Oklahoma City. His next opportunity to return comes Friday against Minnesota. With Hachimura sidelined, Gradey Dick and Kobe Sanders could see increased playing time and a boost in fantasy value.

Coty M. Davis of The Detroit News reports that Detroit Pistons guard/forward Ausar Thompson (ankle) fully participated in Tuesday's shootaround ahead of the matchup against the New York Knicks. Thompson missed Sunday's 106-93 win over Philadelphia due to a right ankle sprain, but his participation is an encouraging sign for his availability. If he remains sidelined, Isaiah Joe (hip), if cleared to play, and Javonte Green could see additional minutes, with Jalen Duren (hamstring) already out.

Shams Charania of ESPN reports that Utah Jazz forward/center Jaren Jackson Jr. (knee) has been diagnosed with a torn MCL in his right knee and is expected to miss six to eight weeks. Jackson did not return to Monday's 110-105 loss to Memphis after suffering the injury in the second quarter. The former Defensive Player of the Year joins Lauri Markkanen (wrist) and Jusuf Nurkic (foot) on the sidelines. With Utah's frontcourt severely depleted, Mo Bamba could take on a much larger role after posting 14 points, seven rebounds and four blocks Monday.

According to ESPN's Shams Charania, Toronto Raptors guard/forward Kawhi Leonard (knee) is expected to miss multiple weeks due to swelling in his left knee. An MRI revealed no structural damage, per Charania. The 35-year-old will undergo a treatment and rehabilitation program before being reevaluated in one week. With Leonard sidelined for an extended period, Ja'Kobe Walter, Jamal Shead and Collin Murray-Boyles could see increased playing time and fantasy opportunities.

Golden State Warriors forward Yaxel Lendeborg erupted for a career-high 31 points, 12 rebounds, and six assists in Monday's 134-114 win over the Denver Nuggets. The rookie shot 9-for-19 from the field and 12-for-13 at the line, becoming the first Warriors rookie since Stephen Curry in 2010 to post at least 30 points, 10 rebounds, and five assists. Lendeborg is now averaging 21.8 points, 9.3 rebounds, and 4.8 assists through four games. With Jimmy Butler III (knee) and Moses Moody (knee) still sidelined, Lendeborg has quickly carved out a significant role and is giving Golden State little reason to scale it back.

Sacramento Kings forward Keegan Murray (ankle) has been diagnosed with left ankle capsulitis and will be re-evaluated in 10 to 14 days, according to NBA reporter Marc Stein. The issue flared up in the same ankle that required arthroscopic surgery in May, and Murray has struggled through two games, averaging 7.0 points and 3.0 rebounds on 29.4% shooting while going 0-for-7 from three. Precious Achiuwa should continue to benefit in his absence after starting Sunday and producing 12 points, 10 rebounds, two steals and three blocks in 39 minutes.

Sacramento Kings center Maxime Raynaud (knee) will be re-evaluated in approximately two weeks as he continues to recover from a right patellar subluxation suffered during the preseason. The 2025-26 All-Rookie Second Team selection averaged 12.5 points and 7.5 rebounds in 26.5 minutes as a rookie but remains without a firm return date. Precious Achiuwa should continue to handle the bulk of the backup-center work behind Domantas Sabonis after averaging 13.7 points, 7.0 rebounds, and 2.0 steals through three games. Dylan Cardwell (calf) is also expected to miss at least another week, keeping Achiuwa's role intact for now.

Dallas Mavericks guard Sergio de Larrea (knee) did not return to Monday's 113-109 win over the Miami Heat after suffering a right knee strain in the second quarter. The 20-year-old was injured while trying to corral an inbound pass and finished with one rebound and one assist in six minutes. The setback comes two days after de Larrea erupted for 21 points on 9-for-15 shooting against San Antonio. Walter Clayton Jr. took advantage of the extra backcourt opportunity Monday, posting 15 points, four rebounds and four assists in 17 minutes. Another de Larrea absence Wednesday against Oklahoma City would give Clayton a chance to stick in the backup point guard mix.

Oklahoma City Thunder guard Alex Caruso (ankle) did not return to Monday's 125-114 win over the Phoenix Suns after suffering a right ankle sprain. The 32-year-old was injured when Dillon Brooks came down on his ankle late in the second quarter and finished with nine points, two rebounds, and three assists in nine minutes while going 3-for-5 from three. With Jalen Williams (ankle, fibula) and Cason Wallace (shoulder) already sidelined, Oklahoma City's perimeter depth is getting tested. Bennett Stirtz and Josh Dix both logged more than 20 minutes Monday and could stay in the rotation if Caruso misses Wednesday's game in Dallas.

Utah Jazz forward/center Jaren Jackson Jr. (knee) did not return to Monday's 110-105 loss to the Memphis Grizzlies after suffering a right knee injury in the second quarter. Jackson went down when Ty Jerome fell into his leg and finished with six points, three rebounds and two assists in 10 minutes. The former Defensive Player of the Year will undergo an MRI Tuesday after opening the season with averages of 19.7 points and 5.7 rebounds. With Lauri Markkanen (wrist) and Jusuf Nurkic (foot) also sidelined, Mo Bamba could take on a much larger role after posting 14 points, seven rebounds and four blocks Monday.

Utah Jazz forward Lauri Markkanen (wrist) did not return to Monday's 110-105 loss to the Memphis Grizzlies after injuring his right wrist in the first quarter. Markkanen's arm got caught between Jaren Jackson Jr. (knee) and Cameron Boozer, ending his night with two points in six minutes. Head coach Will Hardy said the 29-year-old will undergo imaging Tuesday, leaving his status for Wednesday against San Antonio uncertain. Ace Bailey should see more scoring opportunities if Markkanen misses time after posting 17 points and 10 rebounds Monday, while Mo Bamba could also stay heavily involved after a 14-point, four-block performance.

Dallas Mavericks' F Cooper Flagg scored 66.50 fantasy points with 29 points scored, 11 assists and six rebounds in a 113-109 win over Miami on Monday night.

Thunder's G Ajay Mitchell scored 30 points on 10-of-16 shooting in a 125-114 win over the Suns on Monday, Oct. 26. Mitchell is owned in only 55.6% leagues.

Heat's F Giannis Antetokounmpo recorded a triple-double, finishing with 29 points, 11 assists and 14 rebounds in a 109-113 loss to the Mavericks on Monday, Oct. 26.

Minnesota's G Anthony Edwards scored 47 points on 19-of-34 shooting in a 125-127 loss to Cleveland on Monday, Oct. 26.

Denver Nuggets forward Cam Johnson (ankle) has been ruled out for Monday's game against the Golden State Warriors with a right ankle sprain. Johnson will miss his second straight contest after exiting the season opener against Oklahoma City, and the 30-year-old also dealt with right ankle inflammation late last season. Bryce Hopkins started in his place Saturday, but Trevon Brazile made the stronger case for an extra run with 17 points and nine rebounds in 28 minutes off the bench. With Alpha Diallo (wrist) also sidelined, Brazile should stay firmly in Denver's rotation while Johnson is out.

Golden State Warriors center Charles Bassey (knee) is available for Monday's game against the Denver Nuggets, according to NBC Sports Bay Area's Dalton Johnson. Bassey made a strong impression in his season debut Saturday, finishing with 10 points and seven rebounds in 13 minutes against Phoenix. The 25-year-old averaged 10.6 points, 7.2 rebounds, and 1.4 blocks in 20.1 minutes across five games with Golden State last season. His path to a bigger workload is still crowded with Al Horford back and Graham Ike coming off a strong outing, but Kristaps Porzingis (illness) remaining away from the team leaves Bassey with a chance to stay involved.

Golden State Warriors guard Brandon Williams (back) is available for Monday's game against the Denver Nuggets after carrying a probable tag for left lower-back soreness, NBC Sports Bay Area's Dalton Johnson reports. The 26-year-old made the most of a spot start Saturday in Phoenix, finishing with 20 points, three rebounds, five assists, and two steals in 24 minutes. Stephen Curry and Brandin Podziemski return Monday, which should send Williams to the bench and tighten his path to minutes alongside De'Anthony Melton. His strong showing Saturday does make him a name to remember whenever Golden State's backcourt is shorthanded.

Memphis Grizzlies forward/center Isaiah Stewart (ankle) is available for Monday's game against the Utah Jazz after carrying a questionable tag due to left ankle injury management. The 25-year-old started Sunday with Zach Edey resting and filled the box score with 13 points, five rebounds, two assists, one steal, and two blocks in 22 minutes. Edey is back for Monday's matchup, which should send Stewart back to the bench. His shot-blocking and ability to stretch the floor remain useful, but his fantasy ceiling is much lower when Memphis has its full center rotation available.
