86 of 86 ranked players. Each teammate shows his average in games with the injured player, then in games without his this season on the same team. Small samples are marked by the games without count.

The impact scale

ImpactWho gets it
1045+ FPTS a game and listed Out or Doubtful
945+ FPTS a game, or 38 to 45 FPTS and listed Out
838 to 45 FPTS a game
731 to 38 FPTS a game
625 to 31 FPTS a game
519 to 25 FPTS a game
413 to 19 FPTS a game

Out or Doubtful adds 1 to the role score, Probable subtracts 2, and a player out 10 or more straight games subtracts 3 because his absence is already priced in.

What this NBA injury report ranks

Most injury reports list every name with a tag and leave the math to you. This one keeps only the players whose status changes a DFS decision, then ranks them from 10 down to 4 by how much of their team's minutes, fantasy points and usage are in question. Next to each player are the teammates who stand to gain, with the real numbers before and after: minutes, DraftKings fantasy points and usage rate from the games the injured player has already missed this season on the same team.

Statuses come straight from the NBA injury report and refresh every 30 minutes through the day. A morning designation is a snapshot. Questionable tags usually resolve at morning shootaround or 90 minutes before tipoff, so check the board again before lock.

How the 1 to 10 impact score works

The score measures the size of the role that is in doubt, not how bad the injury sounds. A player averaging 45 or more DraftKings fantasy points a game and listed Out or Doubtful is a 10, because the whole rotation reshuffles around him. A player at 38 to 45 FPTS is a 9 if he is Out, and an 8 otherwise. The score steps down from there: 31 to 38 is a 7, 25 to 31 is a 6, 19 to 25 is a 5, and 13 to 19 is a 4.

Out and Doubtful add one point at the same role, because those players almost never play. Probable subtracts two, because a Probable player usually plays. A player out 10 or more straight games subtracts three, because his absence is already priced into his teammates' minutes and salaries.

Usage comes from the games already played this season. A player with no role to lose, a deep bench piece or a long term absence that was priced in weeks ago is left off the board on purpose.

How we measure who benefits

For each injured player we look at every teammate who has played with him and without him this season on the same team, and compare the teammate's minutes, DraftKings fantasy points and usage rate in the two splits. The before number is the teammate's average with the injured player active. The after number is his average in the games the injured player has already missed. Small samples are marked by the games without count, so a two game split is not the same as a ten game split.

When a teammate has not played a game without the injured player, we fall back to the same position group: the next player at his position who is in line for the minutes, with his own season averages for minutes, fantasy points and usage. That fallback is labeled so you know which numbers are a real split and which are a position projection.

Using injuries in DFS lineups

The best injury plays are the cheap teammates who inherit minutes before their salary moves. DraftKings sets prices early in the day, so a bench player who becomes a 30 minute starter at shootaround is still priced like a bench player at lock. That is where cash game value comes from.

Minutes and usage do not always move to the same player. One teammate may inherit the minutes while another inherits the shots. The player worth rostering is usually the one who gains both, and those are not always the same person. Read the before and after numbers next to each beneficiary instead of assuming the next man up gets everything.

Questionable players are coin flips that the field tends to treat as sure things in one direction or the other. The teammate behind a Questionable starter is often the smarter way to hold the same view, since he gains if the starter sits and loses little if the starter plays on a minutes restriction.

Frequently asked questions

How often is the NBA injury report updated?

Every 30 minutes from morning through evening Central time, every day of the season, with extra refreshes on game days.

Why does a long absence rank lower?

Because the market has already priced it in. A player out 10 or more straight games subtracts 3 from his impact score, since his teammates' minutes and salaries have already adjusted to life without him.

What does usage rate mean?

Usage rate is the percentage of his team's possessions a player ends with a shot, a free throw or a turnover. A higher number means the offense runs through him more. When a starter sits, his usage often moves to a specific teammate, and that teammate is the one who gains the most fantasy points.

Where do the beneficiary numbers come from?

From the games the injured player has already missed this season on the same team. We compare each teammate's minutes, DraftKings fantasy points and usage rate with the injured player active versus without him. When a teammate has not played a game without him, we use the same position group as a fallback.

Are players on long term injury included?

Not by default. Their absence is usually weeks old and already reflected in teammates' usage and salaries.

Is the NBA injury report free?

Yes, no account needed. The full ranked board is free to view.
