Squirrel’s Nuts & Bolts NBA - December 22nd, 2025

Monday night brings seven games on the NBA schedule, with all seven games on the slate on both FanDuel and DraftKings. The injury news will again make an impact, with Ryan Kalkbrenner, Collin Sexton, Jordan Walsh, T.J. McConnell, Kevin Love, Ja Morant, and Vince Williams out, and Max Christie, Cooper Flagg, Peyton Watson, Aaron Wiggins, and Tristan da Silva listed as Questionable.

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.
