We've got seven games in the NBA Saturday, with the action getting started early as the Mavericks face the Knicks. Here's a look at the day's injury report, along with the relevant fantasy and betting implications.
NBA Injury Report: December 3
No notable day-to-day injuries for either team at this time.
Kawhi Leonard (ankle) – questionable
Paul George (hamstring) – questionable
Luke Kennard (calf) – OUT
Norman Powell (groin) – OUT
Leonard and George appear set to return after practicing Friday, but we'll see if they play. Nicolas Batum and Terance Mann are solid filler plays in any case with Powell and Kennard out.
Khris Middleton (wrist) – unlikely to play
Middleton made his debut Friday but it appears he's not ready to play back-to-back sets yet. Grayson Allen and Pat Connaughton should see more minutes with Middleton out.
LaMelo Ball (ankle) – OUT
Gordon Hayward (shoulder) – OUT
Terry Rozier, Kelly Oubre Jr. and Jalen McDaniels remain solid value plays in DFS lineups with Ball and Hayward out.
Otto Porter Jr. (toe) – OUT
Scottie Barnes (knee) – TBD
Porter Jr. remains out, while the Raptors might sit Barnes after he played through a knee issue Friday. Chris Boucher, Christian Koloko and Thad Young look to be prominent factors in the rotation here.
Shai Gilgeous-Alexander (hip) – questionable
If SGA doesn't play, Josh Giddey and Tre Mann are great filler plays in fantasy and DFS formats.
Jaden McDaniels (illness) – available
McDaniels should be back, which means Kyle Anderson will likely have a lesser role in this contest.
Klay Thompson (injury management) – TBD
Thompson has not played back-to-back sets at times since he returned from his injuries last season. The Warriors might once again punt here given the opponent. Jordan Poole looks to be a nice value add Saturday, with Jonathan Kuminga and Moses Moody also being options.
Josh Hart (ankle) – doubtful
If Hart doesn't play, the Trail Blazers will likely turn to Justise Winslow and Shaedon Sharpe for more minutes.
