John Wall Will Sit First Game Of Back-To-Back
Houston Rockets point guard John Wall (rest) will not play Friday against the Los Angeles Clippers. Wall will likely not play in both ends of a back-to-back for the remainder of the season so this is to be expected. Wall went off Wednesday after a multi-game absence and put up 31 points and seven assists […]
Dale Johnson 4 years agoBrandon Ingram And Kira Lewis Jr. Questionable Again
New Orleans Pelicans forward Brandon Ingram (foot) and guard Kira Lewis Jr. (calf) are both questionable to play Friday against the Philadelphia 76ers. Both Ingram and Lewis have been out for the past week, give or take, and have been closer to game-time decisions for most of that time. Ingram seems closer to returning of […]
Dale Johnson 4 years agoLonzo Ball Added To Friday's Injury Report
New Orleans Pelicans guard Lonzo Ball (hip) now questionable to play Friday against the Philadelphia 76ers. Ball returned from a hip flexor injury and has played well over the past three games including a back-to-back set, but now is back on the injury report ahead of Friday. It is unclear what kind of setback Ball […]
Dale Johnson 4 years agoJohn Wall Will Be Limited Against Dallas
Houston Rockets point guard John Wall (knee) will play limited minutes in his return Wednesday against the Dallas Mavericks. The coaching staff did not specify the minutes limit, but it makes sense given Wall's multi-game absence and plethora of injuries he has dealt with this year. Wall holds significant shut down risk and can severely […]
Dale Johnson 4 years agoMaxi Kleber Sitting Against Houston
Dallas Mavericks forward/center Maxi Kleber (leg) is out Wednesday against the Houston Rockets. Kleber is dealing with lower leg soreness so he'll get the night off in the first leg of a back-to-back set. When Kleber sat out the last back-to-back set, Nicolo Melli got the spot start and put up 10 points and eight […]
Dale Johnson 4 years agoKristaps Porzingis Good To Go Wednesday
Dallas Mavericks forward/center Kristaps Porzingis (wrist) will play Wednesday against the Houston Rockets. Porzingis missed two games with a wrist injury, but the team expected him to return Wednesday. Porzingis will take value away from Nicolo Melli and Boban Marjanovic and take away some usage from the remaining starters. Melli may still have streaming value […]
Dale Johnson 4 years agoBradley Beal And Robin Lopez Good To Go Wednesday
Washington Wizards guard Bradley Beal (hip) and center Robin Lopez (quad) will play Wednesday against the Orlando Magic. Beal will make his return after a five-game absence due to a hip injury. Beal's return should push Raul Neto back to the bench and take some usage away from Russell Westbrook. Lopez left Monday's game with […]
Dale Johnson 4 years agoDanilo Gallinari Will Sit Against Memphis
Atlanta Hawks forward Danilo Gallinari (ankle) will not play Wednesday against the Memphis Grizzlies. Gallinari is dealing with ankle soreness and was questionable before being ruled out. Gallinari missed a bunch of games in the beginning of the season due to an ankle injury so the Hawks are likely being cautious on the second leg […]
Dale Johnson 4 years agoClint Capela Ruled Out For Wednesday
Atlanta Hawks center Clint Capela (Achilles) will not play Wednesday against the Memphis Grizzlies. Capela was questionable with Achilles soreness which has been a reoccurring issue this season for the big man. Onyeka Okongwu will likely get the spot start on Wednesday and be tasked with containing Jonas Valanciunas. Okongwu has played well in limited […]
Dale Johnson 4 years agoTristan Thompson To Play In "Small Bursts" Wednesday
Boston Celtics forward/center Tristan Thompson will play in "short bursts" on Wednesday against the New York Knicks. Thompson is returning to play after sitting since March 14, and head coach Brad Stevens does not want to push the veteran big man in his return. Thompson is nothing more than a rebounding streamer at this point with […]
Dale Johnson 4 years agoBrandon Ingram, Kira Lewis Jr. Out Against Nets
New Orleans Pelicans guard Kira Lewis Jr. (calf) and forward Brandon Ingram (foot) are both out Wednesday against the Brooklyn Nets. Ingram appears closer to making a return, but will miss his fifth-straight game while Lewis will miss his second straight. The Pelicans have lost three of the past four games without Ingram and are […]
Dale Johnson 4 years agoMalcolm Brogdon To Miss Fourth Straight Game
Indiana Pacers guard Malcolm Brogdon (hip) will miss his fourth straight game Wednesday against the Minnesota Timberwolves. Brogdon is still dealing with a hip injury and does not have a concrete timetable to return, but it should be sooner rather than later. Brogdon's absence has opened the door for Edmond Sumner to start, but T.J. […]
Dale Johnson 4 years agoMyles Turner And Domantas Sabonis Out Against T-Wolves
Indiana Pacers big men Myles Turner (ankle) and Domantas Sabonis (ankle) will both sit Wednesday against the Minnesota Timberwolves.

Dale Johnson 4 years agoJeremy Lamb Available To Play Wednesday
Indiana Pacers guard/forward Jeremy Lamb (toe) will play Wednesday against the Minnesota Timberwolves. Lamb was questionable on the second leg of a back-to-back, but appears good to go after testing his toe out before tip-off. Lamb is coming off a 15-points and career-high six steals performance in 25 minutes on Tuesday and should get around […]

It's been a couple weeks since the NBA trade deadline and we are finally seeing the rotations solidify with all the new faces in their new places. With most fantasy league trade deadlines come and gone, managers will need to rely on the waiver wire to make that last minute push for the playoffs, if […]
Dale Johnson 4 years agoRajon Rondo Coming Off The Bench In Debut
Los Angeles Clippers point guard Rajon Rondo (adductor) will come off the bench and have a minutes restriction on Sunday against the Los Angeles Lakers. This makes sense given Rondo has been out with a strained adductor and could easily reaggravate the injury. The Clippers have spoke highly about Rondo given his basketball I.Q. and […]
Dale Johnson 4 years agoCoby White Out Due To League Protocols
Chicago Bulls guard Coby White (health and safety protocols) will not play Sunday against the Brooklyn Nets. White was listed as probable with his sore neck, but has entered the league's health and safety protocols and will not play. It is unclear how long White will be in the protocols as there are no indication […]
Dale Johnson 4 years agoJoel Embiid Will Sit Sunday After Returning From Injury
Philadelphia 76ers center Joel Embiid (knee, rest) will not play Sunday against the Memphis Grizzlies. Embiid returned to the court Saturday after a lengthy absence due to a knee injury and the Sixers are playing it safe by giving him Sunday off.

Dale Johnson 4 years agoDanilo Gallinari And Trae Young Good To Go Sunday
Atlanta Hawks forward Danilo Gallinari (Achilles) and guard Trae Young (knee) will both play Sunday against the Golden State Warriors. Both players missed their last game, but it was a maintenance day on the second half of a back-to-back. Gallinari's return should limit the already low fantasy value of Tony Snell and Solomon Hill. Young's […]
Dale Johnson 4 years agoAndre Drummond Out Again On Easter
Los Angeles Lakers center Andre Drummond (toe) will miss his second straight game Sunday against the Los Angeles Clippers. Drummond is dealing with a toe contusion and torn toenail after leaving his Laker debut last week, but appears to be making strides toward an eventual return. Drummond's absence will likely result in Marc Gasol starting […]
Dale Johnson 4 years agoJeremy Lamb And Domantas Sabonis Game-Time Decisions Friday
Indiana Pacers guard/forward Jeremy Lamb (toe) and forward/center Domantas Sabonis (thigh) are both game-time decisions against the Charlotte Hornets Friday. Lamb missed the last game with the injury, but has progressed to 1-on-1 in practice so he may be on the side of doubtful. Sabonis picked up a thigh injury on Wednesday, but was able […]
Dale Johnson 4 years agoKhem Birch May Sit On Saturday
Orlando Magic forward/center Khem Birch (illness) is questionable Saturday against the Utah Jazz. Birch only lasted five minutes on Thursday before leaving with a non-COVID illness.

Dale Johnson 4 years agoRicky Rubio May Miss Friday
Minnesota Timberwolves point guard Ricky Rubio (back) is now questionable to play against the Memphis Grizzlies Friday. Rubio is being listed with back spasms which he likely experienced during his pregame routine.

Dale Johnson 4 years agoJohn Wall Will Sit Again Against Boston
Houston Rockets point guard John Wall (knee) has been ruled out after being questionable to play Friday against the Boston Celtics. Wall has been dealing with knee soreness and there is a very real possibility he opts for surgery to end his season. For now, Wall will likely be considered questionable to play in the […]
Dale Johnson 4 years agoLarry Nance Jr. And Jarrett Allen Out Saturday
Cleveland Cavaliers centers Larry Nance Jr. (illness) and Jarrett Allen (concussion) have both been ruled out Saturday against the Miami Heat.

Love […]
Dale Johnson 4 years agoJoel Embiid Officially Questionable Saturday
Philadelphia 76ers center Joel Embiid (knee) is questionable to play Saturday against the Minnesota Timberwolves. This weekend was the targeted return date for Embiid who has been out the past few weeks with a bone bruise in his knee.

Dale Johnson 4 years agoTrae Young, Danilo Gallinari Resting Friday
Atlanta Hawks guard Trae Young (knee) and forward Danilo Gallinari (ankle) are both out Friday against the New Orleans Pelicans.

Dale Johnson 4 years agoRJ Barrett May Sit Against Mavericks
New York Knicks guard/forward RJ Barrett (ankle) is questionable to play against the Dallas Mavericks on Friday. Barrett is being listed with a sprained ankle which can vary in terms of severity.

Dale Johnson 4 years agoTy Jerome Now Questionable To Play Friday
Oklahoma City Thunder guard Ty Jerome (ankle) has been upgraded to questionable on Friday against the Phoenix Suns. Jerome was originally listed as "out" on the injury report, but there is now a chance he plays given the questionable tag. Jerome, if cleared, would resume his bench role, backing up guard Theo Maledon. Jerome has […]

Golden State Warriors guard Stephen Curry (tailbone) ruled out Friday against the Toronto Raptors. Curry took another fall on his tailbone on Thursday against the Miami Heat and was a little limited afterwards.
