Gafford (ankle) has been listed as doubtful for Wednesday's game against the Pacers.

Gafford is trending toward not playing Wednesday. The Arkansas product has yet to play a game during the 2025-26 campaign, as he continues to work his way back from an ankle injury.

Davis (Achilles) has been listed as probable to play in Wednesday's game against the Pacers.

Davis is nursing an Achilles issue, but it doesn't appear severe enough to keep him off the floor. The superstar big man is coming off a 26-point double-double in Monday's game against the Thunder. He's averaging 25.0 points, 11.8 rebounds, 2.8 assists, 1.8 steals and 1.5 blocks per game while shooting 52.1 percent from the field and 27.3 percent from deep.

Wagner (knee) is out for Wednesday's game against the Pistons.

Wagner is not ready to make his season debut following last season's ACL surgery. The big man can be considered doubtful for future game action, including Thursday against the Hornets.

Poeltl (back) is doubtful for Wednesday's game against the Rockets, Josh Lewenberg of TSN.ca reports.

After exiting Monday's game against the Spurs with lower-back tightness, Poeltl is likely to miss at least one game. Sandro Mamukelashvili could be in line for a spot start at center Wednesday, while Ochai Agbaji and Collin Murray-Boyles may have an expanded role in store.

Horford (toe) is not listed on the injury report for Tuesday's game against the Clippers.

The veteran big man sat out Monday's game against the Grizzlies for maintenance purposes. With Horford set to return to the Golden State lineup Tuesday, it's possible Quinten Post and Trayce Jackson-Davis will find themselves out of the rotation altogether.

Holmgren (back) has been ruled out for Tuesday's game against the Kings.

After recording a double-double during Monday's game against the Mavericks, Holmgren will be sidelined for the second game of the back-to-back set with a back issue. The team will likely pivot to Aaron Wiggins to help shoulder the load in the frontcourt.

Embiid (knee) is available for Tuesday's game against the Wizards.

After sitting out the front end of the back-to-back set Monday against Orlando, Embiid is no longer showing up on the injury report. He fared well in his last outing against the Hornets with 20 points (7-11 FG, 3-6 3Pt, 3-5 FT), two rebounds, four assists and two steals over 20 minutes, so it will be interesting to see if he's given a few more minutes this time around.

Towns (quadriceps) has been upgraded to probable for Tuesday's game against the Bucks.

Towns was initially listed as questionable on the injury report. However, he's been playing through this issue since Opening Night, and there's been no word of any setbacks. Plus, he's had no reported restrictions.

Sengun supplied 21 points (7-11 FG, 2-2 3Pt, 5-5 FT), six rebounds, six assists and one steal across 30 minutes during Monday's 137-109 victory over the Nets.

Sengun had a very efficient night for Houston, helping the Rockets secure their first win of the campaign to improve to 1-2 on the season. Sengun has been Houston's best fantasy producer thus far, posting averages of 25.7 points, 8.0 rebounds, 6.7 assists, 2.0 steals and 2.3 three-pointers on 45.3 percent shooting from the field and 84.6 percent from the line.

Landale notched 17 points (6-6 FG, 2-2 3Pt, 3-3 FT), six rebounds and three assists in 24 minutes during Monday's 131-118 loss to the Warriors.

With the Grizzlies' frontcourt battling multiple injury absences to begin the season, Landale started his fourth straight game and continues to show an improved shot from long range. The 30-year-old center's 17 points were a season high, and he's already gone 4-for-9 on three-point attempts, an impressive showing for a player who made only 21 total threes in 98 regular-season games over the prior two seasons combined while with the Rockets. Zach Edey (ankle) is hoping to make an early November return, with Brandon Clarke (knee) likely not too far behind him, so Landale's window for fantasy utility could still be open for another couple weeks.
