Taj Gibson Officially Out On Saturday Night

Washington Wizards center Taj Gibson (neck) is out on Saturday against Utah. The 37-year-old has a cervical strain. However, considering Gibson has averaged only 2.5 points in 4.5 minutes per game this season, his absence won't impact the rotation.

Kristaps Porzingis Available Against The Jazz

Washington Wizards center Kristaps Porzingis (groin) is available on Saturday against Utah. The 27-year-old missed only one game with a groin strain, so the issue isn't expected to impact his workload. With Bradley Beal (illness) out again, Porzingis and Kyle Kuzma should continue to do most of the heavy lifting offensively.

Khem Birch Out Against The Pacers

Toronto Raptors forward Khem Birch (knee) remains out on Saturday versus Indiana. The 30-year-old will miss his sixth straight contest as he works his way back from knee soreness. With Precious Achiuwa (ankle) and Pascal Siakam (adductor) both sidelined as well, Toronto will be shorthanded up front. Considering Fred VanVleet (illness) is questionable, Scottie Barnes […]

Taj Gibson Expected To Sit Again On Saturday

Washington Wizards center Taj Gibson (neck) is doubtful ahead of Saturday's meeting with the Utah Jazz due to a strained neck. The 37-year-old has been a filler piece for the team this season, relegating him to nearly five minutes per game. With Kristaps Porzingis (groin) probable, Gibson likely wouldn't have gotten much work, to begin […]

Al Horford Out On Saturday Night

Boston Celtics center Al Horford (back) isn't available for Saturday's matchup versus the Pistons. The 36-year-old played on Friday night against Denver, logging 34 minutes and finishing with 21 points and seven rebounds. However, he's out with low back stiffness, something he's been working through for nearly the entire season. There's a good chance Horford […]

Anthony Davis Does It All Friday Night

Los Angeles Lakers forward/center Anthony Davis shook off an illness Friday and posted a full line in a 120-114 loss to Sacramento with 24 points, 14 rebounds, three assists, two steals and three blocks.

Jusuf Nurkic In Danger Of Missing Another Game

Portland Trail Blazers center Jusuf Nurkic (hip) is questionable for Saturday's game against Dallas.

Eubanks has played well in the starting lineup while Nurkic has been out, averaging 10.0 points, 8.0 rebounds, […]

Christian Wood Expected To Play Against Portland

Dallas Mavericks center Christian Wood (knee) is expected to return on Saturday versus Portland. The 27-year-old missed his previous two games because of a right knee sprain, allowing Dwight Powell to get some additional action. Wood has averaged 15.6 points and 7.8 rebounds this season, a dip from his numbers in 2021-22. While fantasy managers […]

Kristaps Porzingis Upgraded To Probable For Saturday

Washington Wizards forward/center Kristaps Porzingis (groin) is now considered probable for Saturday's home game against the Jazz. He missed Thursday's win over Dallas with a left groin strain and was first listed as questionable for Saturday, but it looks like Porzingis is ready to return to action. His return will push Anthony Gill back to […]

Naz Reid Sits Friday Night

Minnesota Timberwolves center Naz Reid (illness) remains unavailable for Friday's contest against Memphis. He's battling an illness and already missed one game this week, Reid recently had a few strong showings, but it was because Rudy Gobert hasn't available and fantasy managers shouldn't expect a repeat of the stretch anytime soon. Both Gobert and Karl-Anthony […]

Anthony Davis Downgraded To Questionable For Friday

Los Angeles Lakers power forward Anthony Davis (illness) was previously listed as probable with some back tightness earlier on Friday. Now he's listed as questionable while suffering from a non-COVID illness. He reportedly missed the shootaround to rest and will be evaluated in the afternoon. Since LeBron James is also out, Wenyen Gabriel will likely […]

Kristaps Porzingis Questionable For Saturday

Washington Wizards center Kristaps Porzingis (groin) missed the team's last game with a groin strain but he did some on-court work on Friday. He'll reportedly be re-evaluated on Saturday ahead of the team's game against the Utah Jazz to see if he can give it a go. If he's not able to play again, Daniel […]

The Houston Astros are parting ways with general manager James Click after he declined the team's one-year offer, the team announced on Friday.

Happy Friday, RotoBallers! The NBA season is finally here, and we have a solid eight games slotted for this evening.

Marvin Bagley III Questionable On Friday

Detroit Pistons forward Marvin Bagley III (knee) has yet to play a game this season due to a knee injury in the preseason. His injury status has been steadily improving, and now he's questionable to make his debut on Friday night against the New York Knicks. The 23-year-old enjoyed a bit of a resurgence when […]

Clint Capela Posts Huge Double-Double

Atlanta Hawks center Clint Capela put together a big double-double against Joel Embiid and the Philadelphia 76ers. The 28-year-old big man registered 18 points and 20 rebounds while shooting 70% from the floor on Thursday night. Capela was never much of a scoring center, but his rebounding and blocks were the bread and butter of […]

Jack Eichel Racks Up Four Points In His Old Barn

Vegas Golden Knights center Jack Eichel had a very happy return to Buffalo on Thursday, leading his side to a 7-4 victory with three goals and an assist. He helped Alex Pietrangelo on the scoreboard early in the third period and then went on to become the third player in franchise history to score three […]

Anthony Davis Probable Against Sacramento

Los Angeles Lakers forward/center Anthony Davis (back) is considered probable for Friday's meeting with Sacramento. As usual, Davis is listed on the injury report for nagging low back tightness. However, it hasn't been much of an issue of late, so he'll be out there, barring a setback. The 29-year-old has played well this season, averaging […]

Mitchell Robinson Out Again On Friday Night

New York Knicks center Mitchell Robinson (knee) won't play on Friday against Detroit. This will mark Robinson's fourth straight absence as he deals with a right knee sprain. He is expected to miss more games moving ahead. In the meantime, Jericho Sims, who logged 27 minutes against the Nets on Wednesday and finished with seven […]

Onyeka Okongwu Records Double-Double

Atlanta Hawks center Onyeka Okongwu made the most of his playing time during Thursday's game against the Philadelphia 76ers. The 21-year-old has been splitting playing time with Clint Capela at the center spot to begin the season. That being said, Okongwu hasn't produced great numbers because of the limited numbers. However, he was able to […]

Joel Embiid Has Strong Outing On Thursday

Philadelphia 76ers center Joel Embiid was basically the only reliable option for this offense on Thursday. The big man notched 26 points on 9-of-18 shooting with 13 rebounds and two assists in the loss. The 28-year-old also had seven turnovers, which hurt, but the performances of Tyrese Maxey and Tobias Harris didn't help. Despite the […]

P.J. Tucker Good To Go Thursday

Philadelphia 76ers forward/center P.J. Tucker (hip) is available and will start against Atlanta on Thursday. The veteran is dealing with a left hip contusion, but he's probably played through worse ailments in his career and is ready to contribute. Tucker doesn't do a lot for fantasy managers, but he's a big piece for the Sixers, […]

Precious Achiuwa Ruled Out Indefinitely

Toronto Raptors center Precious Achiuwa (ankle) has been ruled out indefinitely. He injured his right ankle in Wednesday's win over Houston and an MRI has revealed that Achiuwa has partially torn ligaments in his ankle. This injury is probably as nasty as it sounds, and the 23-year-old even has to wear a walking boot for […]

Larry Nance Jr. A Game-Time Call Thursday

New Orleans Pelicans forward/center Larry Nance Jr. (knee) is a game-time decision for Thursday's matchup against Portland. He sat out the first leg of a back-to-back Wednesday against Chicago and it remains to be seen if Nance Jr. is feeling well enough to play against his former team. Pelicans head coach Willie Green has at […]

Jalen Johnson Available Thursday

Atlanta Hawks forward/center Jalen Johnson (hamstring) is good to go Thursday against Philadelphia. He was initially considered questionable for the game with right hamstring tightness, but the team has now confirmed that the 20-year-old is available. Johnson doesn't play a lot on a nightly basis, averaging 14.9 minutes per game, but he's been a solid […]

Kristaps Porzingis Out Thursday

Washington Wizards forward/center Kristaps Porzingis (groin) will sit out his first game of the season Thursday versus Dallas. He was initially listed as questionable for the game, giving managers hope that maybe he can play through a groin strain, but Porzingis has now been officially ruled out for the contest. Anthony Gill is getting an […]

Paul Stastny Hops Back Into The Lineup Thursday

Carolina Hurricanes forward Paul Stastny will re-enter the lineup on Thursday against Edmonton after sitting out Wednesday's loss to Florida as a healthy scratch. He will take over from Derek Stepan on the fourth line, while defenseman Calvin de Haan also rejoins the fun at the expense of Dylan Coghlan. Stastny has struggled to make […]

Kristaps Porzingis Carrying A Questionable Tag

Washington Wizards forward/center Kristaps Porzingis (groin) is questionable for Thursday's home game against Dallas. He's on the injury report with a left groin strain, and missing a meeting with his former team would obviously be a blow for the big guy. Porzingis has been very injury prone throughout his career, but he hasn't yet missed […]

P.J. Tucker Considered Questionable For Thursday

Philadelphia 76ers forward/center P.J. Tucker (hip) is listed as questionable for Thursday's trip to Atlanta. The veteran is dealing with left hip contusion and could end up missing his first game of the season.
