Week 5 of the fantasy basketball season sees positive updates on injuries, particularly for Damian Lillard, who is probable to return after missing three games due to concussion protocols. His absence has challenged the Bucks, who have struggled to find effective replacements.

Meanwhile, Nikola Jokic's personal reasons have kept him out for two games, impacting the Denver Nuggets. Luka Doncic's knee contusion led to Quentin Grimes stepping up for the Dallas Mavericks, while Karl-Anthony Towns returned to action for the New York Knicks but faced a back scare.
