Jusuf Nurkic Likely To Play Wednesday

Portland Trail Blazers center Jusuf Nurkic (ankle) is listed as probable for Wednesday's game against the Los Angeles Lakers.

Trendon Watford and Greg Brown III would basically lose all their fantasy appeal, assuming […...

Hassan Whiteside Questionable For Wednesday

Utah Jazz center Hassan Whiteside (back) is listed as questionable for Wednesday's game against the Denver Nuggets. He's a new addition to the injury report, which is not good news with Rudy Gobert (calf) already ruled out. Whiteside has been playing well in Gobert's absence and is a decent fantasy option, assuming he plays. Otherwise, […...

Deandre Ayton Returning Against Nets

Phoenix Suns center Deandre Ayton (ankle) will make his return to the court for Tuesday's game against the Brooklyn Nets. Both Ayton and Jae Crowder (wrist) are returning here after missing multiple games. Bismack Biyombo will lose most of his streaming appeal with Ayton back in the starting five. It's uncertain if Ayton will be […...

Cade Cunningham Unlikely To Return On Tuesday

Detroit Pistons guard Cade Cunningham (hip) is considered doubtful to return for Tuesday's game against the New Orleans Pelicans. He suffered a right hip pointer injury during the third quarter.

De'Aaron Fox Uncertain For Wednesday

Sacramento Kings guard De'Aaron Fox (ankle) is listed as questionable for Wednesday's game against the Brooklyn Nets. He has missed each of the last five games due to left ankle soreness. Tyrese Haliburton and Davion Mitchell have been picking up the slack in the absence of Fox. Haliburton should be rostered in most fantasy formats, […...

James Harden Officially Cleared To Play On Tuesday

Brooklyn Nets guard James Harden (hand) has been cleared to play in Tuesday's game against the Phoenix Suns. He will return to the court here after a two-game absence. Hopefully, the right hand issue is behind him, so Harden's production won't be impacted by it. DeAndre' Bembry should head to the second unit with Cam […...

Nikola Jokic Cleared To Play On Tuesday

Denver Nuggets center Nikola Jokic (toe) has been cleared to play for Tuesday's game against the Minnesota Timberwolves. It doesn't sound like right toe soreness is going to be enough to stop the reigning MVP. Possibly, the Nuggets are a bit cautious with him if this game becomes a blowout. Zeke Nnaji or JaMychal Green […...

D'Angelo Russell Officially Out On Tuesday

Minnesota Timberwolves guard D'Angelo Russell (shin) has been ruled out for Tuesday's game against the Denver Nuggets. He was listed as doubtful earlier, so it's not shocking to see Russell sitting this one out.

Aaron Holiday Starting Against Bucks

Washington Wizards guard Aaron Holiday will move into the starting five for Tuesday's game against the Milwaukee Bucks. Bradley Beal (wrist) is expected to miss multiple games, so Holiday could see a few games in the starting five. Holiday is averaging 9.4 points and 3.4 assists as a starter this season. He's not an elite […...

Donovan Mitchell, Rudy Gobert Miss Tuesday's Practice

Utah Jazz guard Donovan Mitchell (concussion) and center Rudy Gobert (calf) were both unable to practice on Tuesday. Mitchell has missed each of the last seven games and doesn't have a return in sight. Joe Ingles (knee) was starting in his place, but suffered a torn ACL, so his season is over. Jared Butler could […...

Draymond Green Showing Improvement

Golden State Warriors forward Draymond Green (back) is showing improvement and should be re-evaluated before the All-Star break. Green has missed each of the last 12 games while dealing with a lower back issue. It sounds like Green could miss a few more weeks, but at least he's making progress towards a return. Otto Porter […...

Tyler Higbee Suffers MCL Sprain

Los Angeles Rams tight end Tyler Higbee (knee) was forced to exit early during Sunday's victory in the NFC Championship game. It was reported earlier that Higbee avoided serious injury, but that might not be the case. Head coach Sean McVay revealed Higbee suffered an MCL sprain during the victory. The organization is considering him […...

Jim Harbaugh Has Interest In Vikings Head Coaching Job

The Minnesota Vikings continue to search for a head coach following the departure of Mike Zimmer.

Raiders Have Faith In Derek Carr

Las Vegas Raiders quarterback Derek Carr is expected to remain with the organization for the 2022 season. He has one year left on his contract, which led to rumors he could be moved in the offseason.

Malcolm Brogdon Remains Without A Timetable

Indiana Pacers guard Malcolm Brogdon (Achilles) continues to make progress, but remains without a timetable, according to head coach Rick Carlisle. It sounds like the Pacers are slowly bringing Brogdon along and he could practice soon. The Pacers aren't in great postseason position, so they have no incentive to rush back Brogdon. However, his upside […...

De'Aaron Fox Continues To Sit Out

Sacramento Kings guard De'Aaron Fox (ankle) has been ruled out for Monday's game against the New York Knicks. This marks the fifth game in a row that Fox has missed due to left ankle soreness.

Ivica Zubac Won't Play Monday

Los Angeles Clippers center Ivica Zubac (calf) has been ruled out for Monday's game against the Indiana Pacers. This looks more like a rest game than anything else.

Brandon Ingram To Remain Out On Monday

New Orleans Pelicans forward Brandon Ingram (ankle) has been ruled out for Monday's game against the Cleveland Cavaliers. This marks the fifth game in a row that Ingram has missed due to a right ankle issue.

Joel Embiid Resting Against Grizzlies

Philadelphia 76ers center Joel Embiid (rest) has been ruled out for Monday's game against the Memphis Grizzlies. This isn't surprising as the Sixers want to make sure their superstar center stays healthy. Fantasy managers should expect Embiid back for Wednesday's contest. Until then, Andre Drummond should move into the starting five. He'll have strong streaming […...

Darius Garland Might Miss Monday's Game

Cleveland Cavaliers guard Darius Garland (back) is listed as questionable for Monday's game against the New Orleans Pelicans. He tweaked his back on Wednesday, but was able to play 36 minutes on Sunday. This doesn't seem to be an issue that would cost Garland multiple games. However, it is the second game of a back-to-back […...

Joe Ingles Will Miss The Rest Of The Season

Utah Jazz forward Joe Ingles (knee) will not play again this season after suffering a significant injury. The veteran forward suffered a torn ACL, but no other structural damage in his left knee.

Domantas Sabonis Enters COVID-19 Protocols

Indiana Pacers forward Domantas Sabonis has entered the league's health and safety protocols. It sounds like Sabonis is going to miss at least the next three games, according to the NBA injury report. Goga Bitadze (foot) and Oshae Brissett (ankle) are banged up as well heading into Monday's game. That means, Isaiah Jackson could be […...

Nikola Jokic Questionable For Tuesday

Denver Nuggets center Nikola Jokic (toe) is listed as questionable for Tuesday's game against the Minnesota Timberwolves. This injury doesn't sound too serious, but the Nuggets are going to be cautious with their star center.

LeBron James Likely To Miss More Time

Los Angeles Lakers forward LeBron James (knee) flew back to Los Angeles to receive treatment this weekend. The knee injury appears to be worse than the organization originally thought. An MRI revealed general soreness and head coach Frank Vogel has not given a timetable on James return. "As long as the swelling is there, he […...

Will Barton Will Play Against Bucks

Denver Nuggets forward Will Barton (illness) will be available for Sunday's game against the Milwaukee Bucks. It was uncertain if Barton was going to play here due to a non-COVID related illness. However, his return will likely shift Austin Rivers back to the second unit. Rivers won't have as much streaming appeal with Barton back […...

Jimmy Butler Uncertain For Monday

Miami Heat forward Jimmy Butler (ankle) is listed as questionable for Monday's game against the Boston Celtics. It sounds like Butler suffered an ankle injury while playing 52 minutes during the triple-overtime loss on Saturday. It wouldn't be shocking to see the Raptors give Butler the night off for rest purposes. Caleb Martin and Max […...

DeMarcus Cousins Won't Play Against Bucks

Denver Nuggets center DeMarcus Cousins (foot) has been ruled out for Sunday's game against the Milwaukee Bucks. Cousins won't get a chance to take on his former team due to a right foot sprain. JaMychal Green, Zeke Nnaji, and Jeff Green are all available, so the Nuggets will have plenty of options at center. None […...

Kristaps Porzingis Not Available On Sunday

Dallas Mavericks center Kristaps Porzingis (knee) didn't travel with the team for Sunday's game against the Orlando Magic. He was only able to play 11 minutes on Saturday before exiting with right knee soreness. His absence means more playing time for Maxi Kleber and Dwight Powell. The hope is that Porzingis can play in their […...
