NBA injury report, December 16: Updates for Rudy Gobert, Draymond Green, LeBron James, more

We've got 10 games on Friday's NBA slate, anchored by ESPN's doubleheader. Here's a look at the day's injury report, along with the relevant fantasy and betting implications.

NBA Injury Report: December 16

Clint Capela (calf) – OUT, expected to miss 1-2 weeks

With Capela out, Onyeka Okongwu will be a nice DFS play for the Hawks.

Gordon Hayward (shoulder) – questionable

Hayward is hoping to make his return to the court. If he does, he'll take some minutes away from Kelly Oubre Jr. and Jalen McDaniels.

Kevin Huerter (ankle) – questionable

If Huerter sits in this game, Harrison Barnes and Malik Monk should see more time on the perimeter for Sacramento.

Robert Williams (knee) – questionable, expected to play
Al Horford (personal) – questionable

Williams is expected to make his return to the court, but Blake Griffin still looks to be in the rotation if Horford is out.

No notable day-to-day injuries for either team at this time.

Stephen Curry (shoulder) – OUT, expected to miss a month
Andrew Wiggins (groin) – OUT
Draymond Green (quad) – questionable

Jordan Poole and Jonathan Kuminga figure to be big factors in this rotation, especially with Curry now out. Green missing time might mean more minutes for Kevon Looney.

Seth Curry (hamstring) – questionable
Royce O'Neale (personal) – available
Patty Mills (illness) – doubtful

Joe Harris and Cam Thomas will see more playing time if Curry and Mills are ruled out. Thomas seems more likely to be a value play in DFS formats as Mills is doubtful.

No notable day-to-day injuries for either team at this time.

D'Angelo Russell (knee) – questionable
Rudy Gobert (ankle) – questionable

If Russell sits, Austin Rivers likely gets the start again at point guard. Naz Reid would likely be the main big man for Minnesota if Gobert is ruled out.

Maxi Kleber (knee, hamstring) – OUT, expected to miss 6-8 weeks

Kleber is going to be sidelined for a while, so Christian Wood and Davis Bertans look to fill in his minutes in Dallas' rotation.

Anthony Davis (back) – probable
LeBron James (ankle) – probable

Both stars should be in for LA.
