Jalen Duren Now Out On Sunday

Detroit Pistons center Jalen Duren (back) was downgraded to out ahead of Sunday's matinee with the Pelicans. He was a last-minute scratch before Friday's blowout loss to the Celtics, so his next chance to suit up will be Monday versus the Knicks. In the meantime, James Wiseman, coming off a 24-point, nine-rebound performance, will be […]

Jalen Duren Questionable For Sunday Afternoon

Detroit Pistons center Jalen Duren (back) is questionable for Sunday's game against the visiting Pelicans. He was ruled out shortly before Friday's blowout loss to the Boston Celtics because of back spasms. James Wiseman got the start in that one and had one of his best games of the 2023-24 campaign, finishing with a team-high […]

Two-Catcher Leagues: 3 Fantasy Baseball Catcher Draft Targets (2024)

When playing in two-catcher fantasy baseball leagues, your pre-draft strategy can significantly differ from one-catcher leagues.

Another caveat is how much you should push catchers up your […]

Deandre Ayton Remains Out On Saturday

Portland Trail Blazers center Deandre Ayton (elbow) has been ruled out ahead of Saturday's game against the Denver Nuggets. The big man continues to miss time due to a left elbow issue. The assumption is that Duop Reath will move into the starting five on Saturday. He finished with 13 points, three rebounds, and two […]

Jusuf Nurkic Ready For Action On Saturday

Phoenix Suns center Jusuf Nurkic (eye) will be in the lineup on Saturday versus Victor Wembanyama and the Spurs. Phoenix's starting center has been upgraded from probable to available. Saturday will mark Nurkic's 14th consecutive appearance. He's been quiet offensively this month and will likely also find it tough on the attacking end against Wembanyama, […]

Al Horford Available Versus Chicago

Boston Celtics forward/center Al Horford (toe) will play on Saturday against the Chicago Bulls. The veteran sat out Friday's win over the Detroit Pistons. But in all fairness, the Celtics didn't need him. Kristaps Porzingis (hamstring) will get the night off to rest after logging 26 minutes on Friday, so Horford will slide into the […]

Omer Yurtseven Sits Out Saturday

Utah Jazz center Omer Yurtseven (ankle) won't be in action against Houston on Saturday. He's dropping out of the lineup after having one of his best games of the season. With John Collins (face) unavailable, Yurtseven logged 21 minutes against Dallas on Thursday and had 12 points, five rebounds, and two assists. Collins will be […]

John Collins Good To Go On Saturday

Utah Jazz forward/center John Collins (face) will play against Houston on Saturday. The team has upgraded him from questionable to available. Collins returns from a one-game absence, pushing Walker Kessler back to the bench. It's been a strong month for Collins, as the former Hawk has averaged 16.8 points and 8.5 rebounds with 1.5 blocks. […]

Deandre Ayton With Doubtful Tag Saturday

Portland Trail Blazers center Deandre Ayton (elbow) could miss a second consecutive game on Saturday against Denver after the team listed him as doubtful on the injury report. Ayton was a late addition to the injury report on Friday ahead of a meeting with the Clippers and couldn't go due to a left elbow problem. […]

Onyeka Okongwu Won't Play Against Charlotte

Atlanta Hawks center Onyeka Okongwu (toe) will sit out Saturday's game against Charlotte. The team listed Okongwu as doubtful on the initial injury report, so he was always likely to miss the game. With Okongwu sidelined, Bruno Fernando is set to fill the minutes behind starting center Clint Capela. It's a wonderful matchup for Atlanta's […]

Nikola Jokic Won't Play Against Trail Blazers

Denver Nuggets center Nikola Jokic (back) has been ruled out for Saturday's contest against Portland. The team has downgraded him from a questionable status. Jokic sits out only his third game of the season. With backup center Zeke Nnaji (groin) also unavailable, we should see DeAndre Jordan moving to the starting unit, while Peyton Watson […]

Al Horford Questionable To Face Bulls

Boston Celtics forward/center Al Horford (toe) is regarded as questionable for Saturday's matchup against Chicago. He's strained his left big toe and might be absent for a second consecutive contest. Kristaps Porzingis (hamstring) has already been ruled out for Saturday's game, meaning Boston will be desperate to have Horford available. If he can't go, it […]

Aleksander Barkov To Sit Out Again Saturday

Florida Panthers center Aleksander Barkov will miss his second straight game on Saturday due to a lower-body injury. The Panthers captain sat out a 3-0 loss to the Nashville Predators on Thursday and will not participate in a tilt with the high-octane New York Rangers on Saturday. Barkov has tallied 18 goals and 66 points […]

Kristaps Porzingis Won't Suit Up Against Chicago

Boston Celtics center Kristaps Porzingis (hamstring) won't play on Saturday night in Chicago. The veteran logged 26 minutes in Friday's massive win over the Pistons, finishing with 19 points. Yet, the C's have a firm grasp on the top spot in the Eastern Conference, so the team will start resting their stars to prepare for […]

John Collins Questionable To Play On Saturday Versus Houston

Utah Jazz forward/center John Collins (face) has been labeled as questionable for Saturday's matchup against Houston. Collins is still dealing with the facial contusion he suffered when Anthony Edwards posterized him on Monday. He played the next game against the Thunder on Wednesday but was absent when the team also took the court on Thursday […]

Marvin Bagley III On Track To Return On Saturday

Washington Wizards forward/center Marvin Bagley III (back) isn't on the injury report ahead of Saturday's contest against Toronto, suggesting he's available to return to the lineup.

Onyeka Okongwu Unlikely To Face Charlotte

Atlanta Hawks forward/center Onyeka Okongwu (toe) is unlikely to suit up against the Hornets. He recently sat out a month because of a big toe injury. However, Okongwu has appeared in Atlanta's previous two games and logged nearly 20 minutes per contest. Yet, the 23-year-old is expected to get the night off to take a […]

Nikola Jokic Questionable Against Portland

Denver Nuggets center Nikola Jokic (back, hip) is questionable for Saturday's game in Portland. The back injury isn't anything new. But the hip issue is somewhat concerning. However, the multi-time MVP has only missed two games this season, so Saturday's meeting with one of the worst teams in the NBA is a good time to […]

Deandre Ayton Unavailable For Friday

Portland Trail Blazers center Deandre Ayton (elbow) has been ruled out ahead of Friday's game against the Los Angeles Clippers. The oft-injured big man will sit this one out as he continues to recover from left elbow tendinitis. His absence should mean that Duop Reath will move into the starting unit. As a starter, Reath […]

Zach Collins To Play On Friday

San Antonio Spurs center Zach Collins (concussion) has been cleared to play ahead of Friday's game against the Memphis Grizzlies. Collins will make his return to the court after a one-game absence due to a concussion. His return will likely push Dominick Barlow out of the rotation. Collins will fill out the backup center minutes […]

Naz Reid Good To Go Friday

Minnesota Timberwolves center Naz Reid (head) is available for Friday's contest with the Cleveland Cavaliers. Wolves center Rudy Gobert (rib) is also good to go. With the two big men available, Kyle Anderson and Jaden McDaniels could see their minutes reduced in the rotation. Having Reid and Gobert suit up provides Minnesota with some balance […]
