NBA injury report, December 18: Updates for Nikola Jokic, Anthony Davis, Rudy Gobert, Bradley Beal, more

We've got seven games on Sunday's NBA slate, with action starting at 3 p.m. ET. Here's a look at the day's injury report, along with the relevant fantasy and betting implications.

NBA Injury Report: December 18

Jayson Tatum (personal) – OUT

With Tatum out, Jaylen Brown and Malcolm Brogdon gain additional value in fantasy/DFS formats.

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

Patty Mils (illness) – OUT

With Mills out, Cam Thomas should be a bigger factor in Brooklyn's rotation.

Andrew Wiggins (groin) – OUT, expected to miss next three games
Draymond Green (quad) – probable
Klay Thompson (knee) – probable

Green and Thompson should be in, while Jonathan Kuminga likely sees more minutes with Wiggins out. However, Donte DiVincenzo and Jordan Poole seem to be getting more shots in the rotation than Kuminga.

Gary Trent Jr. (quad) – questionable

If Trent Jr. doesn't play, Fred VanVleet should see more shots. Scottie Barnes would likely get some looks as a playmaker as well.

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

Austin Rivers and Naz Reid will be the respective beneficiaries if Russell and/or Gobert sit.

Nikola Jokic (knee) – probable
Jamal Murray (ankle) – probable

Both stars should be in for Denver.

Bradley Beal (hamstring) – questionable

If Beal can't play, Corey Kispert and Deni Avdija will see more run on the wing.

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

With Davis out, Thomas Bryant and Wenyen Gabriel are LA's primary centers. The team could also go small with James at center for stretches.
