DraftKings Network is your go-to source for the latest NBA injury updates, news, and top player recommendations for Tuesday, October 28, 2025.
In an exciting matchup, the New York Knicks will face off against the Milwaukee Bucks, but they may have to navigate without their star player. Karl-Anthony Towns is once again listed on the injury report due to a quad issue. Despite playing through the injury, his participation in the game remains uncertain. Should Towns be unable to play, OG Anunoby and Mikal Bridges are expected to step up and support Jalen Brunson offensively. For DFS enthusiasts, Anunoby is priced at $6,300, while Bridges comes in at $6,200, with Josh Hart available at $6,100. Additionally, top Pick6 picks in the event of Towns’ absence highlight Anunoby and Bridges, both expected to score more than 15.5 points.
The injury report is also impacting several other teams. For the Washington Wizards, Tre Johnson is dealing with a back issue, while the Miami Heat’s Simone Fontecchio is battling a calf injury. Meanwhile, the Charlotte Hornets’ Tre Mann is dealing with a jaw injury, and the Milwaukee Bucks have multiple players, including Cole Anthony and Gary Trent Jr., out due to illness.
With more significant injuries affecting rosters, noteworthy players like Tyler Herro from the Miami Heat are sidelined for an extended period due to an ankle injury, and he is expected to miss at least three more weeks. Despite his absence, Miami has managed to start the season strong with a 2-1 record, relying heavily on players such as Norman Powell, Bam Adebayo, and Jaime Jaquez Jr. This trio has taken full advantage of increased playing time, showing impressive scoring capabilities. For those in DFS, Adebayo is a solid option at $8,000, and Jaquez Jr. at $4,500, with recommended Pick6 plays of Jaquez Jr. exceeding 12.5 points and Adebayo over 20.5 points.
