In
Jared McCain | Thumb | Philadelphia 76ers
Ryan Dunn | Knee | Phoenix Suns
Lugentz Dort | Illness | Oklahoma City Thunder
Jaylin Williams | Shoulder | Oklahoma City Thunder
Jakob Poeltl | Back | Toronto Raptors
Out
Trae Young | Knee | Atlanta Hawks
Young suffered a sprained MCL in last week’s matchup against Brooklyn and will miss at least four weeks. In Young’s absence, Nickeil Alexander-Walker will continue to start, while Luke Kennard will also receive an expanded role. Jalen Johnson will assume the No. 1 option role in Atlanta’s offense, with Kristaps Porzingis playing second fiddle.
TOP DFS PLAYSÂ with Young out: Jalen Johnson ($8,600); Nickeil Alexander-Walker ($5,800); Luke Kennard ($4,300)
TOP PICK6 PICKSÂ with Young out: Jalen Johnson More Than 17.5 Points
Brandon Miller | Shoulder | Charlotte Hornets
Dominick Barlow | Elbow | Philadelphia 76ers
Paul George | Knee | Philadelphia 76ers
George has been practicing for the 76ers for some time now, but the former All-NBA wing still isn’t ready to go. With the emergence of VJ Edgecombe and Tyrese Maxey’s ascendence to superstar status, George’s role upon his return is unclear. The two former guards will continue to run the show with him sidelined and Joel Embiid seeing less usage.
TOP DFS PLAYSÂ with George out: Tyrese Maxey ($9,900); VJ Edgecombe ($7,500); Quentin Grimes ($6,300)
TOP PICK6 PICKSÂ with George out: Tyrese Maxey More Than 27.5 Points; Tyrese Maxey More Than 7.5 Assists
Coby White | Calf | Chicago Bulls
Al Horford | Toe | Golden State Warriors
Dillon Brooks | Core | Phoenix Suns
Jalen Green | Hamstring | Phoenix Suns
Jalen Williams | Wrist | Oklahoma City Thunder
LaMelo Ball | Ankle | Charlotte Hornets
Through six games, LaMelo Ball is leading the Hornets in points, assists, and rebounds. But an ankle injury sidelined Ball for their previous game and could force him to miss his second consecutive contest. Without Ball, Kon Knueppel and Miles Bridges stepped up to combine for 53 points against the Jazz on Sunday. Knueppel, Bridges, and the veteran Collin Sexton will be expected to lead Charlotte’s offense once again if Ball is out.
TOP DFS PLAYSÂ with Ball out: Miles Bridges ($8,300); Collin Sexton ($6,700); Kon Knueppel ($5,500)
TOP PICK6 PICKSÂ with Ball out: Kon Knueppel More Than 12.5 Points; Miles Bridges More Than 20.5 Points

Zion Williamson | Hamstring | New Orleans Pelicans
The Pelicans have had a brutal start to the season as they are one of two remaining winless teams in the NBA. They are coming off a 31-point loss to the defending champions and can’t afford to lose Zion Williamson for another game. New Orleans’ next three top scorers behind Williamson are Jordan Poole, Trey Murphy III, and Jeremiah Fears. The Pelicans host the Hornets tonight and will need to rely on Poole, Murphy, and Fears if their best player is forced to sit out.
TOP DFS PLAYSÂ with Williamson out: Trey Murphy III ($6,900); Jordan Poole ($6,400); Jeremiah Fears ($4,700)
TOP PICK6 PICKSÂ with Williamson out: Jordan Poole More Than 15.5 Points; Jeremiah Fears More Than 14.5 Points
