| Dwyane Wade will take part in his first full-contact practice of the season Monday, according to the AP. Wade said he hasn't decided when he'll officially return from his offseason knee and shoulder surgeries. |

| Joey Graham, G, Toronto Raptors | Sunday 11/4, 11:57 PM CT |
|
| Joey Graham was on the inactive list Sunday against Boston because of a strained left quad, according to the AP. He was replaced by Jamario Moon. Graham is considered day-to-day, and it's unclear if he'll be forced to miss any more action. |

| Amare Stoudemire missed Sunday's game against the Cavs due to a troublesome right knee, according to the AP. "I think he's overworked," coach Mike D'Antoni said. "On Friday, he didn't have his usual pop." Stoudemire is considered day-to-day, and it's unclear if he'll be forced to miss any more action. |

| Troy Hudson is out indefinitely with a hip problem. "Over the past few days, it's just really been flaring up," Hudson said, according to the Contra Costa Times. "I tried to do treatment, do exercises and play through it, but it's limiting me so much that there's no sense in me being out there." Hudson's going to be a non-factor with the Warriors, anyway, so you won't be missing anything in fantasy terms. |

|
| An MRI revealed that Olexsiy Pecherov has a hairline fracture in his right ankle. The injury is expected to sideline him up to six weeks, according to the Washington Post. With Etan Thomas out indefinitely, the rookie had a shot at seeing regular playing time in the frontcourt. He's not likely to do much this season but is worth keeping an eye once he's healthy again. |

|
| Dwyane Wade probably will take part in his first full-contact practice on Monday. If all goes well, he could make his season debut sometime next week, according to the Miami Herald. Wade is working his way back from offseason knee and shoulder surgeries, so it's possible he could face a setback. But at this point, he's ahead of schedule in his recovery and looking good for those who took a shot on him in the first round or two of their drafts. |

|
| Donyell Marshall sprained his wrist in the season opener. The injury is expected to keep him sidelined at least for Sunday's game, according to the Cleveland Plain Dealer. You must have been in a pretty deep league if you drafted him in the first place. And you won't be missing much, since he scored just five points in the first two games. |

| Ben Wallace, F, Cleveland Cavaliers | Sunday 11/4, 6:16 AM CT |
|
| Ben Wallace clearly has been hampered by his sprained ankle early this season, as he has just nine boards, three blocks and no steals in three games. "When I stop and try to plant, it don't feel stable," Wallace said, according to the Chicago Tribune. That's barely even a normal one-game stat line for Big Ben, so you might want to bench him until he looks better. |

|
| Francisco Garcia was given a start Saturday and produced, finishing with 23 points, six assists and three steals at Dallas. He should conitnue to get plenty of minutes while Mike Bibby is out. |
|
|
|
| Brendan Haywood posted his third straight double-double Saturday, finishing with 10 points and 16 rebounds. He also blocked five shots for the night. Haywood hasn't always been the most consistent player around, but so far he's taken full advantage of his increased playing time with Etan Thomas out of the picture. |
|
|
|
| Al Harrington went off in his first start of the year Saturday, pouring in 38 points (on 15-of-20 shooting) in a loss at Utah. Harrington added seven rebounds, two steals and three assists. |

|
|
| Austin Croshere has a sore back and will be out 7-10 days. He's probably not on your radar to begin with. |
|
|
|
| Gilbert Arenas is battling stiffness in his surgically repaired left knee, the AP reports. He was also held to 10 points against Orlando Saturday. "It feels like a 5-pound weight is on it," Arenas said after the loss. He might get the knee drained before the next Washington game, Thursday at New Jersey. |
