Brooklyn Nets injury report for tonight
Randy Foye is doubtful while Greivis Vasquez and Caris LeVert have been ruled out for the Nets for their game tonight against the Pistons. Those three missed the teams last game so the team’s rotation should be similar to what they rolled with in that game.

Derrick Favors (knee) confirmed in the starting lineup
The Jazz will start George Hill, Rodney Hood, Joe Johnson, Derrick Favors, and Rudy Gobert tonight against San Antonio. Favors remains on a minute restriction, as previously reported.

Tony Allen (knee) expected to play off the bench
In the never ending Memphis Grizzlies injury report saga, Tony Allen will indeed play at least some minutes in a reserve role this evening. Allen was supposed to make his season debut tomorrow night against New Orleans, but that is no longer the case, according to coach David Fizdale. This is a situation that we will want to avoid entirely, as it’s unclear how it will affect rotations and overall minute allocation among the Memphis wing players.
As reported by: Dave McMenamin Dante Cunningham starting over Omer Asik
Cunningham will draw the start tonight against Milwaukee in place of Omer Asik. The Pelicans are most likely making this change to matchup with the Bucks’ length in their starting lineup, but Asik has been dreadful to begin the season, so it wouldn’t be shocking to see New Orleans continue to roll out starting lineups with Anthony Davis at the five on a more consistent basis, especially once Jrue Holiday and Tyreke Evans are able to return.
As reported by: Official Twitter Account of the New Orleans Pelicans Other tagged players: Omer Asik Matt Barnes starting over Kosta Koufos
Barnes will start at power forward tonight for the Kings, as they attempt to matchup with the small-ball lineup Miami rolls out on a nightly basis. Barnes is likely to see an increased workload as a starter, and as an added bonus, Omri Casspi has already been ruled out tonight with an illness. If you were able to get Barnes into your lineups prior to lock on DraftKings and FanDuel, congratulations.
As reported by: Jason Jones Other tagged players: Kosta Koufos Marc Gasol and Mike Conley not listed in the starting lineup
The Grizzlies have yet to officially confirm whether Gasol and Conley will be rested for tonight’s game against Minnesota, but that’s extremely likely to be the case with Troy Williams and Wade Baldwin replacing them in the starting five. Memphis will start Baldwin, Williams, James Ennis, Jarell Martin, and JaMychal Green.
As reported by: T wolves PR Other tagged players: Mike Conley LaMarcus Aldridge confirmed as the starter
Aldridge did not play in the Spurs last contest but will be in the starting lineup tonight. He is a solid option that will have low ownership due to the game with the Jazz. He is multi-position eligible, making him viable in a different combination of rosters.
As reported by: Paul Garcia Tony Allen (knee) available for tonight; not confirmed as playing
Allen was supposed to make his season debut tomorrow night against New Orleans, but he is apparently available to play this evening, according to coach David Fizdale. Allen will come off the bench for the Grizzlies in limited minutes, if he even plays at all. This is a situation that we will want to avoid entirely, as it’s unclear how it will affect rotations and overall minute allocation among the Memphis wing players.
As reported by: Kyle Ratke Omri Casspi ruled out tonight
Casspi won’t suit up tonight against Miami with an unspecified illness. Casspi has been averaging just 9 minutes per game for Sacramento, and was replaced in the rotation by Matt Barnes, so his absence is unlikely to provide any significant boost to the potential fantasy output of any of the Kings players. Barnes and Rudy Gay are still the wing players to target while their prices remain affordable around the industry.
As reported by: Jason Jones James Harden confirmed in the starting lineup, as expected
The Rockets will roll out their normal starting five for tonight’s game against Cleveland in Harden, Eric Gordon, Trevor Ariza, Ryan Anderson and Clint Capela.
Michael Carter-Williams (wrist, knee) out 4-6 weeks
Carter-Williams was initially diagnosed with a 3-4 week timetable for his return from a sprained wrist and bone bruise in his knee. Upon further evaluation, the Bulls deemed that his timetable for return will be closer to 4-6 weeks. Isaiah Caanan and Denzel Valentine will handle the backup point guard minutes in his absence.
As reported by: Marc Stein Reminder that FanDuel locks at 6:00 PM ET!
The Cavs/Rockets game has been pushed up to 6:00 with the World Series game taking place this evening, so make sure your FanDuel rosters are set by 6 ET!
Rodney Stuckey (hamstring) out several weeks
Rodney Stuck will miss a minimum of two weeks and then be evaluated again. He does not have a tear so the team hopes that he can be back with them soon. Joe Young and Aaron Brooks will be the main beneficiaries of this injury.
As reported by: @Pacers Other tagged players: Aaron Brooks, Joseph Young Tony Allen (knee) listed as questionable; Chandler Parsons and Brandan Wright out tonight
Tony Allen is listed as questionable but not expected to play. Parsons and Wright have not seen the court this season either. Jarell Martin will be the main backup big man while James Ennis plays at SF.

Jerami Grant will not play in tonight’s contest due to the trade. With Okafor already out, Richaun Holmes figures to benefit the most with Grant out of the lineup. Ersan Ilyasova will not be with the team tonight either.
