NBA injury report, November 22: Updates for LeBron James, Nikola Jokic, Chris Paul, Tobias Harris, more

We've got just four games on Tuesday's NBA slate but that doesn't mean we don't have a loaded injury report. Here's a look at the players dealing with some issues ahead of Tuesday's games, along with the relevant fantasy and betting implications.

NBA Injury Report: November 22

Joel Embiid (foot) – OUT
Tobias Harris (hip) – probable

The 76ers are going to without Embiid, James Harden and Tyrese Maxey in this game. Harris is a great fantasy/DFS option if he does play as he'll be the unquestioned top offensive option. The Nets might be the team to back in this game on the betting lines.

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

Jackson Jr. comes back in after missing a game, but Morant will stay out. Tyus Jones should take his place in the lineup, while Brandon Clarke loses some value with Jackson Jr. returning.

Saddiq Bey (ankle) – OUT, expected to miss next 3 games
Cory Joseph (hip) – probable

Joseph should be in and will be a decent value option alongside Jaden Ivey in the backcourt. With Bey out, Bojan Bogdanovic should continue getting most of the shots in this offense.

Nikola Jokic (protocols) – doubtful
Jamal Murray (protocols) – doubtful
Aaron Gordon (illness) – questionable
Bones Hyland (hip) – probable
Jeff Green (knee) – OUT

With Jokic and Murray still likely sidelined, Michael Porter Jr. and Hyland should be the relevant fantasy players. Kentavious Caldwell-Pope might also be in the mix, especially if Gordon continues to sit with an illness.

LeBron James (groin) – questionable
Anthony Davis (back) – probable
Russell Westbrook (thumb) – available

Davis and Westbrook should be in but the Lakers badly need James back to be competitive in this game. The King has now missed four games with this groin injury.

Chris Paul (heel) – OUT
Landry Shamet (concussion) – OUT

Paul remains out, which means you can keep plugging Cam Payne and Devin Booker into lineups and hope to get more playmaking stats from them.
