5 days agoNew York Knicks guard
Miles McBride (hamstring) is considered probable for Sunday's matchup against Milwaukee. After missing five games with a hamstring strain, McBride returned to action on Friday versus Oklahoma City and is expected to remain in the lineup for Sunday's fascinating clash. Coming off the Knicks bench, McBride has averaged 9.7 points, 2.7 rebounds, and 3.1 assists in 2024-25. He hasn't been an attractive fantasy piece and could struggle on Sunday, as only four teams allow fewer bench points than the Bucks.

Gary Trent Jr. (hip) has landed on the injury report with a questionable tag ahead of Sunday's game against the Knicks. After suffering a left hip flexor strain, Trent Jr. might be out of action for only the third time this season. He's been a valuable bench scorer for the Bucks, netting 9.6 points with 42.5 percent shooting from outside.
Andre Jackson Jr. and
AJ Green will likely play more if Trent Jr. is absent for Sunday's game.

5 days agoMilwaukee Bucks small forward
Khris Middleton (ankle) is expected to suit up on Sunday versus the Knicks, with the team listing him as probable for the game. Middleton was out on Monday against Toronto due to ankle tendinitis but has been a regular in the lineup following his season debut in December. Since returning to action, Middleton has come off the bench, averaging 9.5 points, 4.0 rebounds, and 2.3 assists. He may have a bit more success on Sunday, as the Knicks allow the ninth-most bench points in the league.

5 days agoMilwaukee Bucks point guard
Damian Lillard (calf) is probable for Sunday's game against the Knicks. The star guard has been dealing with a calf contusion for a bit, but the injury hasn't significantly impacted Lillard, who has notched 25 or more points in all three outings this week. Lillard has shot close to 43 percent from deep since the turn of the year and should relish MSG's unique atmosphere on Sunday. However, a potential setback for Lillard would open up an opportunity for
AJ Green and
Ryan Rollins to take on more prominent roles in the rotation.

5 days agoChicago Bulls guard
Coby White (neck) is questionable for Sunday afternoon's matchup against the Kings due to a cervical strain. White has been excellent for the Bulls in his first action of the New Year, averaging 21.4 points, 2.4 boards, 4.8 assists, 1.0 steals, and 4.0 three-pointers in 31.6 minutes over his last five games. He has scored at least 15 points in eight straight games, and he'll look to keep that streak alive if he's cleared to play Sunday. If he's ruled out,
Josh Giddey would likely pick up more work while
Zach LaVine and
Talen Horton-Tucker would also be candidates for more usage. White's fellow guard
Ayo Dosunmu (calf) is near a return but is listed as doubtful.

5 days agoMilwaukee Bucks forward/center
Giannis Antetokounmpo (knee) will likely be good to go against the Knicks on Sunday, as the team has listed him as probable for the big matchup. Antetokounmpo has not been slowed down by right patella tendinopathy all season, and he should be ready for another big outing on Sunday. The former MVP is coming off a 41-point double-double against Orlando. The Knicks limited Antetokounmpo to 24 points and 12 rebounds in this season's first head-to-head clash. However, this came during a blowout win for New York when the Bucks struggled early in the campaign.

5 days agoChicago Bulls guard
Ayo Dosunmu (calf) appears to be nearing a return since he was listed as doubtful instead of out for the Bulls' Sunday matchup against the Kings. Dosunmu has been sidelined since December 23 but has been ramping up his on-court activity. He was very productive before his injury, especially when filling in for
Zach LaVine or
Coby White. If he's ruled out as expected, Dosunmu's next chance to return would be Tuesday against the Pelicans. While he's out,
Josh Giddey and White (back, questionable) will be backed up by
Lonzo Ball and
Talen Horton-Tucker--Zach Thompson - RotoBallerSource: NBA Injury Report
5 days agoChicago Bulls forward
Torrey Craig will miss a sixth straight game with a right lower leg contusion that has sidelined him since December 30. Craig averaged just 6.9 points, 2.8 rebounds, and 0.6 assists in his nine games this season and averaged 12.3 minutes per contest. The veteran did flash upside with 18 points in his most recent game against the Hornets, but he'll continue to be a non-factor for fantasy on Sunday.

5 days agoDenver Nuggets forward/center
Aaron Gordon (calf) carries a questionable tag on the injury report ahead of Sunday's action against Dallas. He has missed nine games and is nearing his return, but it might not come in Sunday's matchup.
Russell Westbrook has been starting in Gordon's place over the last couple of weeks. He will likely return to the bench once Gordon is ready to come back. However, the two might start together on Sunday, as
Jamal Murray (knee) is iffy for the contest.

5 days agoSacramento Kings guard
De'Aaron Fox (glute) could return on Sunday afternoon when the Kings visit the Bulls. Fox was also listed as questionable for Friday's game in Boston and even went through shootaround before being ruled out before tip-off. He has missed three straight games for Sacramento, but the Kings have kept right on winning, emerging victorious in six straight games to start 2025. While Fox has been out,
Domantas Sabonis and
Malik Monk have carried the load, while
Keon Ellis has continued to start alongside
Keegan Murray, who returned in the first game that Fox was sidelined. Fox leads the Kings with a 30.3% usage rate on the season and averaged 26.7 points, 4.9 rebounds, and 6.2 assists in his 35 games. Stay tuned to see if Fox will be able to suit up on Sunday in a very favorable matchup against the Bulls.

Jamal Murray (knee) is questionable for Sunday's matchup against Dallas. The Canadian star played only 16 minutes in Friday's win against Brooklyn due to left knee soreness and might now drop out of the lineup for the first time in three weeks.
Russell Westbrook has benefited on previous occasions when Murray missed games and has already carried good momentum after breaking into the starting lineup.
Aaron Gordon (calf) has been listed as questionable for Sunday and will likely replace Murray in the starting unit if he's cleared to play. If he remains out,
Peyton Watson might fill in for Murray.

5 days agoDetroit Pistons guard
Tim Hardaway Jr. (back) will be able to return to the floor for the Pistons on Saturday night when they host the Raptors. Hardaway was originally listed as questionable after being a late scratch for Thursday's contest due to back tightness. He had been starting for Detroit and getting a little more work with
Jaden Ivey (leg) out. The veteran averaged 13.2 points, 1.8 rebounds, 1.6 assists, and 2.4 three-pointers in 31 minutes in his last five games before being sidelined. His return will move
Malik Beasley to the second unit while
Ron Holland II and
Marcus Sasser will likely have less work off the bench as well.

5 days agoDenver Nuggets center
Nikola Jokic (illness) has been listed as probable on the injury report ahead of Sunday's matchup against Dallas. The multi-time MVP continues to battle an illness, but he was able to return from a two-game absence on Friday versus Brooklyn, and the probable tag suggests that Jokic will likely be good to go on Sunday as well. It's been another remarkable campaign for Jokic, who leads the league with 15 triple-doubles and is averaging 31.6 points, 13.0 rebounds, and 9.9 assists. He's had massive triple-doubles in both previous meetings with the Mavericks this season.

5 days agoToronto Raptors guard/forward
Bruce Brown (knee) will be active against Detroit on Saturday. Brown missed Thursday's matchup against Cleveland for knee injury management purposes, but Toronto has not listed him on the injury report entering Saturday. Brown made his season debut only a couple of weeks ago and has averaged 5.4 points and 2.0 rebounds in five appearances. For once, the Raptors are fully healthy on Saturday, so fantasy managers should overlook Brown because his role on the team is limited.

5 days agoToronto Raptors guard/forward
Ochai Agbaji (hip) will return to action on Saturday against Detroit. He missed Thursday's meeting with Cleveland due to a hip issue and was also initially questionable for Saturday's game. However, Toronto has upgraded Agbaji from questionable to available. The 24-year-old has averaged 10.8 points and 3.8 rebounds across 29.5 minutes this season. He had a productive start to the campaign when the Raptors were battling injuries. Agbaji's numbers have dropped to 8.8 points and 2.5 rebounds this month with Toronto healthy, so he doesn't have much to offer fantasy managers.
