| NAME | TEAM | INJURY | TIMETABLE TO RETURN | ANALYSIS |
| Kevin Durant | BKN | Achilles | OUT FOR THE SEASON | Durant is not coming back this season despite videos circulating of him being able to shoot with a full range of motion. Taurean Prince will benefit most along with Joe Harris with Durant out. |
| Stephen Curry | GSW | Hand | 2-4 Weeks | Curry is apparently getting closer to returning but he'll still need a few weeks. Andrew Wiggins is the top shooting option and reserves such as Damion Lee and Ky Bowman will see more minutes. |
| John Wall | WSH | Achilles | OUT FOR THE SEASON | We were told a couple of weeks ago that he wasn't close and he's starting to run out of time and the Wizards aren't contending. Shabazz Napier and Ish Smith will run the point for the Wizards. |
| Klay Thompson | GSW | Knee | OUT FOR THE SEASON | We won't see Thompson on the court this season. Andrew Wiggins , Eric Paschall and Damion Lee will pick up more minutes for the rest of the season. |
| DeMarcus Cousins | LAL | Knee | OUT FOR THE SEASON | Cousins tore his ACL in the offseason and we won't see him suit up this season. Dwight Howard and JaVale McGee will pick up his minutes this season. Cousins is about to be waived by the Lakers. |
| Luka Doncic | DAL | Ankle | DAY TO DAY | Doncic is still feeling the pain in his Ankle and missed his last game. Delon Wright , Jalen Brunson (if healthy) and Seth Curry will see more minutes and shots until he's ready to return. Tim Hardaway Jr. picks up more shots. |
| Kyrie Irving | BKN | Shoulder | OUT FOR THE SEASON | Irving's season is over after having Shoulder surgery. Spencer Dinwiddie will see more time running the point and Joe Harris and Caris LeVert 's usage will go up. |
| Karl-Anthony Towns | MIN | Wrist | 2-3 Weeks | Don't be surprised if this timetable gets backed up a bit, but Towns will miss at least the next few weeks with a fractured Wrist. Naz Reid will be the main fill in option. Juancho Hernangomez and James Johnson will benefit. |
| Damian Lillard | POR | Groin | 1-2 Weeks | Lillard can potentially beat a two-week timetable if he doesn't have a set back but Groin injuries can be tricky. CJ McCollum becomes the top scoring option and Anfernee Simons and Gary Trent Jr. will run the point more. |
| Jusuf Nurkic | POR | Legs | 4-7 Weeks | Nurkic recently had a set-back and it's now looking like he won't come back until the tail end of the season, if at all. Hassan Whiteside will start in his place and Caleb Swanigan will pick up minutes. |
| Clint Capela | ATL | Heel | 1-3 Weeks | Capela is still dealing with a sore Heel and we won't see him make his Hawks debut for at least a few more games. Dewayne Dedmon and Damian Jones will see more minutes. |
| Ben Simmons | PHI | Back | No Timetable | We are awaiting MRI results but Simmons could be looking at a few weeks on the shelf at least and Shake Milton and Alec Burks will see a bump in minutes. Tobias Harris should be able to slash more to the rim. |
| Paul George | LAC | Hamstring | DAY TO DAY | George missed his last game with an inuured Hamstring and his status for Monday's game is uncertain at this point but this Hamstring pain just continues to follow him around. Marcus Morris will see more shots and minutes. |
| Lauri Markkanen | CHI | Hip | 1-3 Weeks | Markkanen is recovering and could make it back to the court in a few weeks and while he's out Thaddeus Young will see a lot more playing time. Shaq Harrison will indirectly see more minutes. |
| Kevin Love | CLE | Achilles | DAY TO DAY | Love sat his last game because his Achilles pain continues to linger. If he needs more games out, Larry Nance Jr. and Tristan Thompson will benefit. Cedi Osman will see more shots. |
| Kemba Walker | BOS | Knee | DAY TO DAY | The swelling in Walker's Knee won't go away and while he's out Marcus Smart will help run the point and Jaylen Brown , Gordon Hayward and Jayson Tatum will see more time with the ball. |
| Victor Oladipo | IND | Back | DAY TO DAY | Oladipo is dealing with a sore Back and if he has to miss any action, Jeremy Lamb and TJ Warren will see more minutes and shots. Justin Holiday will see a bump in minutes as well. |
| Marc Gasol | TOR | Hamstring | No Timetable | Gasol continues to miss games and nothing has been confirmed regarding when we'll see him return. While he's out, Serge Ibaka will see more minutes. Chris Boucher could find himself seeing a small uptick in playing time. |
| Jonathan Isaac | ORL | Knee | OUT FOR THE SEASON | Isaac's season is over because of the Knee injury he suffered and Wes Iwundu will pick up minutes and Aaron Gordon will see more plays in the post and should be able to grab more boards. |
| Jaren Jackson Jr. | MEM | Knee | DAY TO DAY | Jackson had to leave his previous game with a sore Knee and if he needs to miss more time, Josh Jackson , Kyle Anderson and Brandon Clarke should see more minutes and usage. |
| Draymond Green | GSW | Pelvis | DAY TO DAY | Green is always banged up and is out for Sunday's game. Eric Paschall 's should see a lot more time with the ball. Expect Kevon Looney to play deeper into games as well. |

| Norman Powell | TOR | Finger | No Timetable | While Powell is out again, OG Anunoby and Terence Davis will see more minutes and usage. We haven't been given much information regarding when we can expect Powell back. |
| Blake Griffin | DET | Knee | OUT FOR THE SEASON | Griffin's season is over. Thon Maker , John Henson , Sekou Doumbouya and Christian Wood will see more minutes. |
| Marvin Bagley III | SAC | Foot | No Timetable | Bagley will be on the shelf for at least the next few weeks. Nemanja Bjelica and Richaun Holmes (if healthy) will see more minutes. Anthony Tolliver and Alex Len could steal a few as well. |
| Luke Kennard | DET | Knee | 2-4 Weeks | Kennard needs more time to recover and we backed up his timetable because of the Knee injury and Bruce Brown Jr. and Langston Galloway will see more shots. |
| Elfrid Payton | NY | Ankle | DAY TO DAY | Payton has a sore Ankle and he may need to sit for the second straight game on Monday and if he cant go Dennis Smith Jr. and Frank Ntilikina (if healthy) will see more minutes. |
| Dwight Powell | DAL | Achilles | OUT FOR THE SEASON | Powell is done for the season and Maxi Kleber and Willie Cauley-Stein will fill in for the rest of the way. |
| Richaun Holmes | SAC | Shoulder | 1-2 Weeks | Holmes is getting closer to returning, but this Shoulder pain hasn't gone away and just when we think he's ready to come back, a set back occurs. Harrison Barnes and Nemanja Bjelica will help fill the void. |

| Zach Collins | POR | Shoulder | 2-4 Weeks | Collins timetable has him returning in mid-March. We haven't been given too many details. Carmelo Anthony and Trevor Ariza will fill the void. Nassir Little will see more love in the rotation as well. |

| Rodney Hood | POR | Achilles | No Timetable | Hood's season is all but done after he had surgery on his Achilles. It's hard to believe that he'll return this season. Trevor Ariza will pick up a lot more minutes and usage. |
| Otto Porter Jr. | CHI | Foot | 1-2 Weeks | Porter is getting through more practices and we can see him back soon. Thaddeus Young and Shaq Harrison will see an increase in playing time with Kris Dunn out. |
| Kris Dunn | CHI | Knee | 4-6 Weeks | While Dunn is out, Shaq Harrison and Denzel Valentine (if healthy) and Ryan Arcidiacono could see a minor bump in minutes as well. |
| Jalen Brunson | DAL | Shoulder | DAY TO DAY | We have to wait and see MRI results for Brunson's injured Shoulder, but if he has to miss multiple games, Seth Curry , Delon Wright and J.J. Barea will see more minutes. |
| Chandler Hutchison | CHI | Shoulder | No Timetable | Hutchison is injury-prone and we don't know when we'll see him take the court again and Shaq Harrison will see more minutes. The Bulls are so desperate they've needed Ryan Arcidiacono to fill in at SF. |

| Skal Labissiere | ATL | Knee | 2-3 Weeks | Labissiere will be shelved for another few weeks and Damian Jones , Dewayne Dedmon and Bruno Fernando will cover more ground while he's out. |

| Kyle Korver | MIL | Back | DAY TO DAY | Korver, for now, should only miss a few games with the sore Back and if he needs more time off the floor, Wes Matthews and Donte DiVincenzo will pick up the slack. |
| Darius Miller | NO | Achilles | OUT FOR THE SEASON | Miller injured his Achilles back in August and we shouldn't expect him to play this season. |

| Mario Hezonja | POR | Ankle | DAY TO DAY | Hezonja has missed his last four games with an injured Ankle and that will bump up Trevor Ariza and Carmelo Anthony 's stock a bit more. |
| Dylan Windler | CLE | Leg | No Timetable | It's not looking like we'll see Windler active at all this season as he may need surgery and won't recover in time befor the season ends. Cedi Osman and Kevin Porter Jr. will benefit. |
| Grayson Allen | MEM | Hip | OUT FOR THE SEASON | Allen is dealing with an injured Hip and Coach K (even though he's not on the Memphis staff) says he's done for the season! De'Anthony Melton and Tyus Jones will see more minutes moving forward. |
| Edmond Sumner | IND | Hip | DAY TO DAY | Sumner has missed a few games lately with a sore Hip and if he needs to miss more time, it won't impact the rotation too much because he doesn't get too many minutes. Justin Holiday would see a few more minutes. |
| Dewan Hernandez | TOR | Foot | No Timetable | Hernandez has a Foot injury and the Raptors are currently out a lot of big men so it's hard to tell when we'll see Hernandez get any action on court with this injury. |
| Alfonzo McKinnie | CLE | Foot | DAY TO DAY | Expect this status to change in the next few days as McKinne will likely need more time off the floor to recover. Larry Nance Jr. will steal more minutes with him off the floor. |
