Welcome to the live NBA injury report for Thursday’s DraftKings slate. The idea of this page is to provide instant updates to help you stay up-to-date with your lineups.
This page will be updated after the 1:30 p.m. ET and 5:30 p.m. ET injury reports, and you can confirm additional updates by checking the time stamp. When a player has a status change, they will now be bolded in the injuries and notes section.
I will also be highlighting my favorite DraftKings play of the day for each slate below the injury report.

Pratt’s Play of the Day (November 4)
Tyler Herro
Herro has taken his game to the next level this season, averaging a career-high 22.4 points, 6.0 rebounds and 4.4 assists per game. What’s even more impressive is that Herro is doing so off the bench, dominating in a Heat offense with plenty of weapons to compete with for touches. Miami is firing on all cylinders right now, as reflected in their NBA-best 6-1 record, and a large part of that success can be attributed to Herro. The 6’5 guard had racked up 22+ points in three-straight contests, making him a worthwhile investment for your lineups against the struggling Celtics.
