Bam Adebayo Scores Season-High 38 Points

Miami Heat center Bam Adebayo was a massive problem for the Wizards on Friday, scoring a season-high 38 points on 15-for-22 shooting in a 110-107 win. He added 12 rebounds for his ninth double-double of the campaign and also dished out three assists. Adebayo has averaged fewer than 20 points a night this season, so […]

Anthony Davis Posts Double-Double On Friday

Los Angeles Lakers forward/center Anthony Davis finished with a game-high 25 points during the win over the Spurs. LeBron James (groin) returned from a five-game absence. However, Davis wasn't messing around on Friday, as he went 10-for-13 from the field while adding 15 rebounds, three blocks, and a steal. The 29-year-old was once again listed […]

Jarrett Allen Exited Friday's Game Against Milwaukee

Cleveland Cavaliers center Jarrett Allen (hip) exited Friday's game against Milwaukee with a right hip injury. He didn't return. The 24-year-old has already missed time this year due to injury, and it's likely he may sit out some more moving ahead because of his latest ailment. If that's the case, Evan Mobley will likely slide […]

Pascal Siakam Moving Closer Toward Returning

Toronto Raptors forward/center Pascal Siakam (adductor) is cleared to resume contact and practiced in full on Friday. However, he'll remain out for Saturday's game against Dallas. The 28-year-old has had a fantastic season, averaging a career-high 24.8 points, 9.3 rebounds, and 7.7 assists in nine games. Although it may take Siakam a game or two […]

Maxi Kleber Expected To Play Against The Raptors

Dallas Mavericks forward/center Maxi Kleber (back) is expected to suit up for Saturday's meeting in Toronto. The 30-year-old has averaged 4.5 points and 3.6 rebounds in 24 minutes per game this season. As a result, Kleber's return won't send shockwaves through the Mavs' rotation, although Dwight Powell and Christian Wood may see fewer minutes. However, […]

Clint Capela Ruled Out On Friday

Atlanta Hawks center Clint Capela (mouth) has been ruled out for Friday's game against the Houston Rockets. The 28-year-old is reportedly dealing with dental pain, so he'll sit out this game. His absence will result in Onyeka Okongwu drawing a spot start on Friday. He'll be worth streaming in most formats and someone to consider […]

Isaiah Jackson To Play On Friday

Indiana Pacers center Isaiah Jackson (ankle) is available for Friday's game against the Brooklyn Nets. He'll be back in action after missing Wednesday's contest due to a left ankle sprain. His return should mean less playing time for Goga Bitadze. On Wednesday, Bitadze played 15 minutes without Jackson available. He could very well fall out […]

Alperen Sengun Officially Out On Friday

Houston Rockets center Alperen Sengun (groin) has been ruled out for Friday's game against the Atlanta Hawks. This marks the second game in a row that Sengun will miss due to a right groin strain. Usman Garuba is likely to make his second start of the season, but isn't a must-add player. The return of […]

Bruno Fernando Active On Friday

Houston Rockets center Bruno Fernando (knee) is available for Friday's game against the Atlanta Hawks. The big man will see his first game action since October 21. This is good timing for the Rockets with Alperen Sengun (groin) ruled out. However, it's unknown how much playing time Fernando will see in his first game back. […]

Bam Adebayo Cleared For Action Versus Wizards

Miami Heat center Bam Adebayo (knee) will play against Washington on Friday. Adebayo was questionable heading into this one because of a left knee bruise. However, it's a good thing he's available, as Miami will at least be without Jimmy Butler (knee), Duncan Robinson (ankle), Max Strus (shoulder). Tyler Herro (ankle) remains questionable. Yet, if […]

Drew Eubanks Out Against New York

Portland Trail Blazers center Drew Eubanks (back) is out against New York due to back spasms. With Jusuf Nurkic healthy and in the lineup, Eubanks likely wouldn't have received enough action to keep him relevant in any format. That said, Trendon Watford, who has averaged only 4.9 points in 2022-23, will see more minutes. While […]

Mitchell Robinson Available On Friday

New York Knicks center Mitchell Robinson (knee) is available for Friday's game against the Portland Trail Blazers. The big man was questionable coming into this game due to right knee soreness. Although, Robinson is feeling good enough to give it a go on Friday. The Knicks are expected to run a three-man rotation at center. […]

Alex Barre-Boulet Gets A Look After Impressing In The AHL

Tampa Bay Lightning forward Alex Barre-Boulet will make his season debut in Friday's matchup against St. Louis. The team has called him up from the minors following a very hot run of form. The 25-year-old had a five-point outing a couple of weeks back in the AHL and he leads the league in scoring with […]

Ross Colton Ready For Action Again

Tampa Bay Lightning forward Ross Colton (upper body) will be back from a one-game absence Friday versus St. Louis. The 28-year-old has managed to have a decent season in limited playing time, collecting nine points in 18 outings despite averaging only 11:27 of ice time. He has found it tough to crack the top six, […]

Wendell Carter Jr. Out Again On Friday

Orlando Magic center Wendell Carter Jr. (foot) won't be available on Friday against Philadelphia. The 23-year-old has been burdened by a right plantar fascia strain, with the injury limiting him to only one appearance in the last four games. Mo Bamba, who had 15 points in Wednesday's loss to Indiana, should continue to replace Carter […]

Rudy Gobert Will Suit Up Versus Charlotte

Minnesota Timberwolves center Rudy Gobert (ankle) will play on Friday in Charlotte. The defensive specialist had been questionable heading into this one due to a sprained ankle. However, it seemingly wasn't too severe, so he should see his usual workload. That said, the Hornets have allowed the most fantasy points per game to opposing centers […]

Isaiah Jackson Tagged As Questionable On Friday

Indiana Pacers forward Isaiah Jackson (ankle) is officially tagged as questionable for the team's game on Friday against the Brooklyn Nets. He was listed as questionable for the last couple of games as well since he sprained his ankle against Orlando. He played in one of them and did not play in the last game. […]

Alperen Sengun Unlikely To Play Against Hawks

Houston Rockets center Alperen Sengun (groin) has been listed as doubtful with a groin strain. The likelihood of him playing on Friday against the Atlanta Hawks doesn't look too promising. During the two games that he missed toward the beginning of the season, a few different players seemed to get increased opportunities. Tari Eason, Usman […]

Evan Rodrigues Ruled Out For Friday

Colorado Avalanche forward Evan Rodrigues (lower body) has been ruled for Friday's meeting with Nashville. He left Wednesday's defeat to Vancouver early with a lower-body problem. Head coach Jared Bednar has called it a "tweak", so the injury doesn't appear to be too serious, but Rodrigues won't have a timeline for his return and looks […]

Wendell Carter Jr. Questionable For Friday's Game

Orlando Magic center Wendell Carter Jr. (foot) is questionable for Friday's home game against Philadelphia. He has a strained plantar fascia, and because of the ailment, Carter Jr. hasn't been able to play in three of the past four games. Mo Bamba has been starting in Carter Jr.'s absence, putting in some solid performances, and […]

Drew Eubanks Carries A Questionable Tag Ahead Of Friday

Portland Trail Blazers forward/center Drew Eubanks (back) is questionable for Friday's clash with the Knicks. He is suffering from a left lumbar strain and could miss his first game of the season. The 25-year-old has done a solid job as a reserve for the Blazers this season, averaging 6.2 points per game with 4.3 rebounds […]

Mitchell Robinson Questionable For Friday

New York Knicks center Mitchell Robinson (knee) is considered questionable for Friday's matchup against Portland. He recently missed eight games with a knee problem and is struggling again after appearing just twice following his injury layoff. However, there is good news as well, with Knicks head coach Tom Thibodeau noting that Robinson came through "most" […]

Giannis Antetokounmpo Nearly Misses Triple-Double

Milwaukee Bucks forward Giannis Antetokounmpo fell a few assists shy of a triple-double in a 113-118 loss to the Chicago Bulls on Wednesday night. The two-time MVP posted 36 points, 11 rebounds, and seven assists on 15-for-27 shooting from the floor. His biggest issue in this game was the appalling amount of turnovers. Eight turnovers […]

Jonas Valanciunas Posts Strong Line Against Spurs

New Orleans Pelicans center Jonas Valanciunas posted a very efficient stat line while only playing 26 minutes during a blowout win against the San Antonio Spurs on Wednesday. He ended the game with 22 points, 10 rebounds, two assists, and one block while shooting a red-hot 9-for-11 from the floor and he only missed one […]

While playing daily fantasy sports is a quick way to make a buck, many still appreciate the long grind of season-long fantasy leagues.

Evan Rodrigues Suffers An Injury Wednesday

Colorado Avalanche forward Evan Rodrigues was unable to complete Wednesday's game against Vancouver, leaving with a lower-body injury. He exited already in the first period after having logged only 4:32 of action. Avalanche head coach Jared Bednar announced after the game that Rodrigues will be evaluated Thursday. The 29-year-old has been skating on the second […]

Jean-Gabriel Pageau Leads Islanders to Victory Wednesday

New York Islanders centerman Jean-Gabriel Pageau scored twice, beating Edmonton 3-0 on the eve of Thanksgiving. Pageau now has five goals and eight helpers in 21 Islanders contests. He is a precious player for the Islanders, but he is better known as a defensive forward. Fantasy-wise, the Ottawa, Ontario native is not a player to […]

Nick Richards Records Another Double-Double

Charlotte Hornets center Nick Richards was outstanding once again during Wednesday's game against the Philadelphia 76ers. The 24-year-old has finished with a double-double in three straight games. On Wednesday, Richards recorded 13 points, 13 rebounds, and one block across 21 minutes in the win over the Sixers. The Hornets are getting fantastic production from Richards […]

Robert Williams III Hopeful To Return By Christmas

Boston Celtics center Robert Williams III (knee) expects to be back on the court by Christmas. The 25-year-old has not played this season after having knee surgery in September.
