| 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 | 1-2 Weeks | There was speculation he'd return Sunday, but it didn't work out. We'll see him in 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. |
| Anthony Davis | LAL | Knee | DAY TO DAY | Daivs is dealing with a sore Knee and if he has to miss any action, Kyle Kuzma and Dwight Howard will see more minutes. |
| Luka Doncic | DAL | Thumb | DAY TO DAY | Doncic missed a game with an injured Thumb. 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 | 1-3 Weeks | Don't be surprised if this timetable gets backed up a bit, but Towns will miss at least another week with a fractured Wrist. Naz Reid will be the main fill in option. Juancho Hernangomez and James Johnson will benefit. |
| Damian Lillard | POR | Groin | DAY TO DAY | Lillard can potentially beat a two-week timetable, but Groin injuries can be tricky. CJ McCollum becomes the top scoring option and Anfernee Simons (if healthy) and Gary Trent Jr. will run the point more. |
| Jusuf Nurkic | POR | Legs | No Timetable | 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. |

| 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 (when healthy) will see more minutes. Chris Boucher will see more minutes |
| 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 | 1-2 Weeks | Jackson will need at least another week to recover and don't be surprised if he's still out longer. Josh Jackson , Kyle Anderson and Brandon Clarke (if healthy) should see more minutes and usage. |
