NBA injury report, January 30: Updates for Luka Doncic, Trae Young, Joel Embiid, Ben Simmons, more

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

NBA Injury Report: January 30

Joel Embiid (foot) – questionable

Embiid continues to be listed as questionable despite playing in the last two games. It's likely he suits up, but fantasy/DFS players are likely going to have to wait for a while to get official confirmation on his availability.

Anthony Davis (foot) – OUT
LeBron James (ankle) – OUT

Davis and James are both out, and it might be due to their antics after the team's loss to the Celtics rather than their injuries. Nonetheless, it's probably best to back the Nets in this game.

Ben Simmons (knee) – questionable
T.J. Warren (shin) – doubtful

If Simmons doesn't play, role guys like Joe Harris and Royce O'Neale will gain even more value in DFS formats.

Rudy Gobert (groin) – questionable

Gobert played in the last matchup between these teams two days ago and had a double-double in Minnesota's win. Naz Reid would be the DFS replacement play if Gobert has a setback and is ruled out.

Andrew Wiggins (illness) – probable

Wiggins should be good to go. If he doesn't suit up, that would mean more minutes for Jonathan Kuminga and Donte DiVincenzo.

Lu Dort (hamstring) – OUT

With Dort out, the Thunder likely give more wing minutes to Aaron Wiggins and Kenrich Williams.

Kristaps Porzingis (ankle) – available

Porzingis is back in for the Wizards, and is a nice DFS play in this favorable matchup.

Luka Doncic (ankle) – questionable

If Doncic doesn't suit up, Spencer Dinwiddie and Tim Hardaway Jr. will be the focal points in Dallas' offense.

OG Anunoby (wrist) – OUT

Anunoby remains out, putting more work on Gary Trent Jr. and Scottie Barnes as the Raptors try to dig themselves out of this hole.

Landry Shamet (foot) – OUT

With Shamet out, Mikal Bridges and Damion Lee should see more shots in Phoenix's offense.

Trae Young (ankle) – questionable

It's a bit odd to see Young on the report with this injury, but he's been dealing with ankle issues at times this season. If he sits, Dejounte Murray will be the lead guard for Atlanta. John Collins and De'Andre Hunter might see some additional shots as well if Young is out.

Josh Hart (hamstring) – questionable
Jusuf Nurkic (calf) – questionable

Both players sat their team's last game. If Nurkic sits, Jerami Grant gains some value on the rebounding front. Hart sitting would mean more minutes for Shaedon Sharpe.
