NAME | TEAM | INJURY | TIMETABLE TO RETURN | ANALYSIS |
| Giannis Antetokounmpo | MIL | Ankle | DAY TO DAY | The sprain isn't bad, but it may cost The Greek Freak another game this week and if he can't go, Nikola Mirotic will pick up more minutes and everyone active picks up usage. Spot start another Buck if he's out. |
| LeBron James | LAL | Groin | DAY TO DAY | It's clear that James Groin hasn't been 100 percent and this could cost him another game this week. If he stays out, Kyle Kuzma becomes the top scoring option while Kentavious Caldwell-Pope and Mike Muscala add usage. |
| Kevin Love | CLE | Back | DAY TO DAY | Love missed his last game w/ a Back injury and if he has to miss more time, Cedi Osman and Ante Zizic will be handling the front court by themselves w/ Tristan Thompson , Larry Nance Jr. and John Henson hurt. |
| Victor Oladipo | IND | Knee | OUT FOR THE SEASON | Oladipo will miss the rest of the season after tearing tendons in his Knee. Tyreke Evans (if active) will see a lot more playing time and Cory Joseph and Aaron Holiday should see some more love in the rotation. |
| John Wall | WSH | Achilles | OUT FOR THE SEASON | Wall had surgery to fix his Achilles and he'll miss the rest of the 2018 season. Bradley Beal becomes the Wizards top usage option and Tomas Satoransky will see a ton of minutes for the rest of the way. |
| Jrue Holiday | NO | Abs | 1-2 Weeks | Holiday could be out longer than the next couple of weeks and Frank Jackson has picked up the ball and produced. Elfrid Payton will see more usage. Holiday could be shutdown. |
| Zach LaVine | CHI | Thigh | DAY TO DAY | LaVine is now dealing w/ a minor Thigh injury and if he has to sit out Wednesday's game, Shaq Harrison and Ryan Arcidiacono will play more. |
| Kristaps Porzingis | DAL | Knee | OUT FOR THE SEASON | Mark Cuban says Porzingis will not play this season. Dirk Nowitzki and Dwight Powell will get more playing time down the stretch. |
| Jeff Teague | MIN | Foot | DAY TO DAY | Teague has missed his last four games w/ a Foot injury and if he misses more time Derrick Rose (if healthy) will be the primary fill in option and he'll pick up a ton of shots. Tyus Jones will see more playing time. |
| Larry Nance Jr. | CLE | Ribs | DAY TO DAY | Nance could return on Wednesday. If he has to continue to sit, Ante Zizic and Kevin Love (if healthy) will see extended minutes. Cedi Osman will be getting more plays called for him. |
| Brandon Ingram | LAL | Arm | OUT FOR THE SEASON | Ingram's season is over. Kentavious Caldwell-Pope and Josh Hart will see more playing time. LeBron James usage goes up even more even though his minutes will be taken down a notch. |
| Kyle Lowry | TOR | Ankle | DAY TO DAY | The Ankle is still bothering Lowry as he may need to sit for another game or two to heal it. Fred VanVleet and Jeremy Lin will pick up minutes if Lowry can't go. Marc Gasol 's usage will go up. |
| CJ McCollum | POR | Knee | No Timetable | He could return in a week to 10 days from now but the Blazers may want to be conservative and hold him out until the Playoffs. His status is up in the air. Rodney Hood and Seth Curry will pick up minutes. |
| Jaren Jackson Jr. | MEM | Quad | No Timetable | Deep bruises take a long time to heal and we don't know when we'll see Jackson back on the court again. Ivan Rabb and Joakim Noah will continue to benefit by seeing more minutes and usage. |
| DeMarcus Cousins | GSW | Ankle | DAY TO DAY | Cousins has missed his last two games w/ an injured Ankle and there's a good chance he returns for his next game. If he has to sit, Kevon Looney will play more. |

| Derrick Rose | MIN | Elbow | DAY TO DAY | Rose has missed his last four games w/ an Elbow injury and if he has to miss more time, Jeff Teague will see more minutes if he can stay healthy. If both are out, Tyus Jones walks into a ton of playing time. |
| Otto Porter Jr. | CHI | Shoulder | DAY TO DAY | Porter has a strained Rotator Cuff and it's surprising not to see him ruled out games in advance. He missed his last game and it's not looking good for this one. More minutes are coming for Shaq Harrison. |
| Wendell Carter Jr. | CHI | Thumb | No Timetable | Carter is not close to returning and Robin Lopez will be the primary fill in option. Lauri Markkanen will also help fill the void. Can't see Carter coming back this season. |

| Tristan Thompson | CLE | Foot | DAY TO DAY | Thompson is apparently close to returning in the next game or two but w/ the Cavs out of it why even bring him back? If he doesn't return, Ante Zizic benefits the most. |
| Malcolm Brogdon | MIL | Foot | OUT FOR THE SEASON | Brogdon's regular season is over as he's expected to miss six to eight weeks w/ a badly injured Foot. George Hill will play more when he's healthy. Eric Bledsoe , Khris Middleton and Nikola Mirotic will see more usage. |
| Andre Roberson | OKC | Knee | No Timetable | Roberson is not recovering and we don't know when we'll see him on the court again. Dennis Schroder and Terrance Ferguson will continue to fill in. |
| Denzel Valentine | CHI | Ankle | OUT FOR THE SEASON | Valentine had season-ending Ankle surgery. Chandler Hutchison (when healthy) and Wayne Selden will benefit w/ more playing time and Zach LaVine (if healthy) will also pick up a few more minutes. |

| E'Twaun Moore | NO | Quad | 1-2 Weeks | Moore can't shake this Quad injury that has hindered him this season. Ian Clark could pick up more minutes and Frank Jackson and Elfrid Payton 's usage will go up while Moore is out. He might be done! |
| Dennis Smith Jr. | NY | Back | DAY TO DAY | Smith will miss his fourth straight game on Wednesday w/ an injured Back and Emmanuel Mudiay will pick up a lot of minutes while Damyean Dotson , Kevin Knox and Mario Hezonja will see their usage increase. |
| Noah Vonleh | NY | Ankle | DAY TO DAY | It's looking like Vonleh will miss his third game in a row on Wednesday and if he sits, Kevin Knox and Mario Hezonja 's usage will go up. Lance Thomas will also pick up playing time. |
