NBA injury report, December 7: Updates for Stephen Curry, Chris Paul, Anthony Davis, Tyrese Haliburton, more

We've got a loaded Wednesday slate in the NBA with 11 games, 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 7

Luke Kennard (injury management) – OUT
John Wall (injury management) – OUT
Kawhi Leonard (ankle) – available
Paul George (hamstring) – available
Norman Powell (groin) – OUT

Leonard and George are in but the rest of these guys are sitting the first game of a back-to-back. They should all be in Thursday except for Powell. Reggie Jackson and Terance Mann are nice filler plays with Wall and Kennard out.

Mo Bamba (back) – available
Gary Harris (hamstring) – OUT

With Bamba in, Mo Wagner might not be a great value add anymore.

LaMelo Ball (ankle) – OUT, no timetable for return
Gordon Hayward (shoulder) – OUT, no timetable for return

Both Ball and Hayward are out indefinitely for the Hornets. Terry Rozier, Kelly Oubre Jr. and Jalen McDaniels will be value plays for the foreseeable future in Charlotte.

Ben Simmons (knee) – OUT

Simmons is targeting a return Friday against the Hawks, but he'll be out for this contest.

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

LeBron James (ankle) – TBD
Anthony Davis (illness) – TBD

We'll see if James plays on the second night of a back-to-back. Davis left Tuesday's game with flu-like symptoms, so his status is truly up in the air.

Bradley Beal (hamstring) – OUT, expected to miss at least a week

With Beal out, Corey Kispert and Will Barton should see more minutes in Washington's rotation.

Ja Morant (ankle) – available
Jaren Jackson Jr. (injury management) – available

Both Morant and Jackson Jr. should be in for the Grizzlies.

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

Tyrese Haliburton (groin) – questionable
Myles Turner (hamstring) – questionable

Bennedict Mathurin would gain value if Haliburton sits. Jalen Smith and Isaiah Jackson are the replacement options for Turner if he also sits.

Brandon Ingram (toe) – OUT
Herbert Jones (ankle) – doubtful

Trey Murphy remains the top play for the Pelicans in terms of value, although CJ McCollum and Zion Williamson are still the top offensive options.

Stephen Curry (ankle) – OUT
Draymond Green (hip) – OUT
Andrew Wiggins (groin) – OUT

Jordan Poole and Jonathan Kuminga should be great value adds to DFS lineups with Curry, Wiggins and Green out. JaMychal Green is also set to get some run.

Mike Conley (knee) – questionable

If Conley plays, Jordan Clarkson and Collin Sexton will cede minutes to him.

Malcolm Brogdon (illness) – probable

With Brogdon back, Derrick White will see less rotation minutes. Payton Pritchard might be out of the backcourt setup entirely.

Chris Paul (heel) – questionable

Paul's heel injury is finally getting better, to the point where he's not been outright removed from the contest. If he plays, he'll likely start over Cam Payne. Devin Booker will remain the secondary playmaker for Phoenix.
