Squirrel’s Nuts & Bolts NBA - November 5th, 2025
Wednesday brings another full night of NBA action, but another night with different slate sizes in DFS, and an injury list that leaves things very uncertain as of the afternoon. FanDuel is including all 11 games on its slate, but DraftKings has removed the last three games (SAS/LAL, OKC/POR, and GSW/SAC).
Injuries abound tonight, with Joel Embiid, Bennedict Mathurin, Tobias Harris, Khris Middleton, Zion Williamson, Austin Reaves, and Steph Curry all out, while the Questionable list includes Jarrett Allen, Darius Garland, Karl-Anthony Towns, Anthony Edwards, Jordan Poole, Chet Holmgren, Jimmy Butler, Draymond Green, Brandin Podziemski, Zach LaVine, and Domantas Sabonis.
This is becoming a standard caveat for this article, but with so many Questionable players, it will be absolutely critical to pay attention to the injury news and starting lineups. Even minor injuries can disrupt the slate when a minimum-priced player gets surprisingly elevated into the starting lineup, so with late swap, it’s essential to monitor the starting lineups on a slate this large with so many injury situations.
