Dorian Finney-Smith Starting Wednesday

Dallas Mavericks forward Dorian Finney-Smith (groin) will play and start Wednesday against the Atlanta Hawks.

Ivica Zubac Questionable Wednesday Against Utah

Los Angeles Clippers center Ivica Zubac (knee) is listed as questionable Wednesday against the Utah Jazz.

Paul George And Kawhi Leonard Resting Wednesday

The Los Angeles Clippers will rest their star forwards Paul George (hamstring) and Kawhi Leonard (knee) Wednesday against the Utah Jazz.

Jamal Murray Starting Tuesday

Denver Nuggets point guard Jamal Murray (ankle/foot) will play and start Tuesday against the Portland Trail Blazers.

Murray should slide in to his normal starting role, but if he were […]

Lauri Markkanen Listed As Questionable Wednesday

Utah Jazz forward Lauri Markkanen (hip) is questionable to play against the Utah Jazz on Wednesday. Markkanen has missed the past two games and may miss another as he deals with a hip contusion. Walker Kessler and Jarred Vanderbilt have seen boosts in fantasy value without Markkanen and would likely continue to start if Markkanen […]

Bones Hyland Available On Tuesday

Denver Nuggets guard Bones Hyland (ankle) is available to play Tuesday against the Portland Trail Blazers. Hyland was questionable to play with ankle soreness after leaving Sunday's game with the injury, but he will not miss any additional time. Jamal Murray (ankle/foot) may sit which would put Hyland in position for increased value.

LeBron James Listed As Questionable Against Kings

Los Angeles Lakers forward LeBron James (ankle) is listed as questionable to play Wednesday against the Sacramento Kings. James is coming off a 48-point, nine-assist and eight-rebound game from Monday night after playing in a back-to-back.

Paul George Expected To Play Tuesday

Los Angeles Clippers forward Paul George (hamstring) is expected to play Tuesday against the Philadelphia 76ers. George will look to make his return Tuesday after a five-game absence due to a hamstring injury. Since hamstrings have a high reinjury risk, George will likely be eased back into action. With George back, Nicolas Batum and Terance […]

Donovan Mitchell Unlikely To Play Wednesday

Cleveland Cavaliers guard Donovan Mitchell (groin) is listed as doubtful Wednesday against the Memphis Grizzlies. Mitchell suffered a groin strain on Monday and was unable to practice on Tuesday, leading to the doubtful tag. With Mitchell likely out, Caris LeVert will likely get the spot start.

Seth Curry Starting Tuesday, Kyrie Irving Hopeful For Thursday

Brooklyn Nets guard Seth Curry will start in place of the injured Kyrie Irving (calf) on Tuesday against the San Antonio Spurs. Curry is coming off a 23-point effort and should be a good plug-and-play option for fantasy and DFS. Irving's absence is not expected to be long-term and the team is hopeful he can […]

Doug McDermott Available On Tuesday

San Antonio Spurs forward Doug McDermott (back) will play Tuesday against the Brooklyn Nets. McDermott will return from a one-game absence after dealing with some upper back tightness. McDermott should slide back into his 20-minute role off the bench, but does little for fantasy outside of lower-end points and threes.

Kyle Lowry Upgraded To Questionable Wednesday

Miami Heat point guard Kyle Lowry (knee) has been upgraded to questionable to play Wednesday against the New Orleans Pelicans. Lowry has missed the last four games with some knee discomfort, but appears to be close to making his way back to the court. If Lowry does indeed return, Gabe Vincent will likely move to […]

Luka Doncic Likely To Play Wednesday

Dallas Mavericks guard Luka Doncic (ankle) is listed as probable to play Wednesday against the Atlanta Hawks.

If Doncic is indeed ready to return, Frank Ntilikina will likely move back to the bench and lose all short-term fantasy […]

Herbert Jones Doubtful To Play Wednesday

New Orleans Pelicans forward Herbert Jones (back) is doubtful to play Wednesday against the Miami Heat. Jones is headed for a fourth-straight absence as he tends to a back contusion, but there is optimism surrounding his return. Dyson Daniels has been starting, but Jose Alvarado has been the one reaping the benefits with Jones out.

Kyrie Irving Ruled Out Tuesday

Brooklyn Nets guard Kyrie Irving (calf) will not play Tuesday against the San Antonio Spurs.

With Irving unable to go, the Nets will likely have their pick of Seth Curry, Ben […]

Dorian Finney-Smith May Make Return To Court Wednesday

Dallas Mavericks forward Dorian Finney-Smith (groin) is listed as questionable to play Wednesday against the Atlanta Hawks. Finney-Smith has missed 14 straight games but appears to be progressing in his recovery from injury. If Finney-Smith is able to return, Davis Bertans and Reggie Bullock would likely see the biggest dips in minutes. The Mavericks should […]

Tim Hardaway Jr. Ruled Out Wednesday

Dallas Mavericks guard/forward Tim Hardaway Jr. (ankle) will not play Wednesday against the Atlanta Hawks. Hardaway will miss his second straight game with an ankle injury after not practicing on Tuesday. Hardaway's next chance to play will come Friday against the Miami Heat. Reggie Bullock should continue to see a boost but is not much […]

Bradley Beal Questionable Again Wednesday

Washington Wizards guard Bradley Beal (hamstring) is questionable to play Wednesday against the New York Knicks. The Wizards continue to list Beal as questionable before ruling him out ahead of game time, but the good news is Beal has been practicing with the team.

Jamal Murray Downgraded To Questionable

Denver Nuggets guard Jamal Murray (ankle) has now been downgraded to questionable to play Tuesday against the Portland Trail Blazers. Murray was originally listed as probable as he's played through an ankle sprain in each of the last two games, but the injury report states there is now some inflammation Murray is dealing with. The […]

Kyrie Irving Questionable Against Spurs

Brooklyn Nets guard Kyrie Irving (calf) is questionable to play Tuesday against the San Antonio Spurs. Irving is listed with calf soreness, something that wasn't reported until later on Tuesday. Late additions to the injury report are never a good sign as Irving likely tweaked it at some point. If Irving sits, look for Seth […]

Giannis Antetokounmpo Remains Out Tuesday

Milwaukee Bucks forward Giannis Antetokounmpo (knee) will miss his fourth-straight game Tuesday against the Toronto Raptors. Antetokounmpo continues to deal with knee soreness and missed both legs of the back-to-back set for Milwaukee. The good news is the Bucks do not play again until Saturday, giving him some much needed rest time. Pat Connaughton and […]

Bones Hyland Questionable Against Portland

Denver Nuggets guard Bones Hyland (ankle) is questionable to play Tuesday against the Portland Trail Blazers. Hyland left Sunday's game with an ankle sprain and may be in danger of missing Tuesday's game. If Hyland is unable to go, Bruce Brown would likely take most of the extra minutes. Readers should check back before gametime […]

Jamal Murray Probable To Play Tuesday

Denver Nuggets guard Jamal Murray (ankle) is probable to play Tuesday against the Portland Trail Blazers. This is the third straight game with Murray gaining the probable tag and he's been able to suit up in each of the last two. There should be no doubt in Murray's game status, however if he were to […]

Paul George Listed As Questionable On Tuesday

Los Angeles Clippers forward Paul George (hamstring) is listed as questionable against the Philadelphia 76ers on Tuesday. George went through the team practice on Monday as he remains sidelined due to a hamstring injury.

Troy Brown Jr. Cleared To Play Monday

Los Angeles Lakers forward Troy Brown Jr. (quad) will play Monday against the Houston Rockets. Brown recently came back from a quad injury and played 37 and 38 minutes in the two games back. Despite feeling some soreness after those games, Brown was probable to play Monday so there was not much of a concern […]

LeBron James Will Play Against Houston

Los Angeles Lakers forward LeBron James (ankle) is available to play Monday against the Houston Rockets. James was questionable to play before being upgraded to probable. James was able to play 35 minutes on Sunday and will play both ends of the back-to-back set. This is a good sign moving for as, barring any setbacks, […]

Jayson Tatum Posts 51 Points Against Charlotte

Boston Celtics forward Jayson Tatum scored a season-high 51 points on Monday against the Charlotte Hornets. Tatum was extremely efficient shooting the ball Monday with 15-for-23 from the field and a perfect 14-for-14 from the free throw line. Tatum also contributed nine rebounds, seven threes and five assists in 40 minutes. Unbelievably, Tatum has taken […]

Derrick White Avoids Major Injury, Listed As Probable Monday

Boston Celtics guard Derrick White (neck) is listed as probable to play Monday against the Charlotte Hornets. White left their previous game with a neck strain after only playing four minutes. The injury, however, appears to not be serious as White will likely not miss any additional game time. If White suffers any setbacks, look […]

Jaylen Brown Remains Out Monday

Boston Celtics forward Jaylen Brown (adductor) will not play Monday against the Charlotte Hornets. Brown continues to deal with some lingering soreness and will miss his third straight game. With Brown out, the rest of the starters will likely see the biggest impact with Jayson Tatum leading the way on offense. Malcolm Brogdon may see […]

Lauri Markkanen Questionable On Monday

Utah Jazz forward Lauri Markkanen (hip) is listed as questionable to play Monday against the Minnesota Timberwolves. Markkanen has already missed a game with hip soreness and is in danger of missing another. If Markkanen does sit out Monday, Jarred Vanderbilt and Talen Horton-Tucker should both see increased roles. Jordan Clarkson would also be asked […]
