T.J. McConnell In Danger Of Missing Third Straight Game

Indiana Pacers point guard T.J. McConnell (illness) could be out for a third straight game on Thursday versus the Knicks, as he's listed as questionable for the contest. The savvy playmaker missed Sunday's clash against the Grizzlies for personal reasons and was kept out from Tuesday's matchup against Boston due to an illness. He apparently […]

Tyrese Haliburton Listed As Questionable Thursday

Indiana Pacers point guard Tyrese Haliburton (hamstring) has been listed as questionable for Thursday's game against the Knicks. Haliburton has said he expects to play on Thursday, but the team has kept him on the injury report. The NBA's assists leader returned from injury on Tuesday versus Boston but was limited to 22 minutes as […]

Tyrese Maxey Tagged As Questionable For Thursday

Philadelphia 76ers guard Tyrese Maxey (ankle) is listed as questionable ahead of Thursday's game against the Utah Jazz. Maxey has missed each of the last three games due to a left ankle sprain. Patrick Beverley has been starting lately and that will likely continue to happen if Maxey misses another game. Beverley posted a double-double […]

LaMelo Ball Doubtful For Wednesday

Charlotte Hornets point guard LaMelo Ball (ankle) is listed as doubtful for Wednesday's clash with the Bulls. He's been out for a couple of games already, and it looks like Ball will be forced to sit again on Wednesday due to a right ankle problem. Ish Smith and P.J. Washington have picked up starts during […]

Shai Gilgeous-Alexander Battling An Illness

Oklahoma City Thunder guard Shai Gilgeous-Alexander (illness) is in danger of missing his second game of the campaign on Wednesday against Denver. The Thunder star is considered questionable with an illness. Josh Giddey is set to run the offense without Gilgeous-Alexander, while a number of bench players could contribute. The Thunder have multiple starters with […]

Luka Doncic, Kyrie Irving Out On Wednesday

Dallas Mavericks guards Luka Doncic (ankle) and Kyrie Irving (thumb) won't play Wednesday against Minnesota. Doncic, who's had a massive workload lately, will sit out his first game since Jan. 15, while Irving will miss a fifth consecutive game. With Dante Exum (knee) also on the injury report as doubtful, the Mavericks backcourt could be […]

Tyrese Haliburton Removed From Tuesday's Game

Indiana Pacers guard Tyrese Haliburton (hamstring) won't return to Tuesday's game against the Boston Celtics. Fantasy managers don't need to panic here as Haliburton's exit wasn't because he suffered an injury. Haliburton was on a minutes limit and taken out of the contest after 22 minutes of action. This was his first game since January […]

Chris Paul To Be Re-Evaluated In Two Weeks

Golden State Warriors guard Chris Paul (wrist) has been cleared to participate in on-court work. Paul underwent hand surgery in early January when it was announced that he would be re-evaluated in three weeks. The organization announced on Tuesday that Paul is going to be sidelined at least two more weeks. Fantasy managers who have […]

Immanuel Quickley Likely To Remain Out On Tuesday

Toronto Raptors guard Immanuel Quickley (quadriceps) is considered doubtful for Tuesday's meeting with Chicago, meaning he'll likely miss a third straight game. With Quickley unavailable, Dennis Schroder and Gary Trent Jr. run the backcourt. The two combined for 30 points on Sunday versus Atlanta and also made an impact defensively by collecting six steals. Quickley's […]

Dejounte Murray Could Miss Second Consecutive Game Tuesday

Atlanta Hawks guard Dejounte Murray (hamstring) is regarded as questionable for Tuesday's matchup against the Lakers. He was a late scratch on Sunday versus Toronto due to right hamstring tightness, and the issue might now keep him off the court for a second consecutive contest. Prior to last weekend, Murray had featured in every game […]

Bennedict Mathurin Uncertain For Tuesday

Indiana Pacers guard Bennedict Mathurin (toe) is listed as questionable ahead of Tuesday's game against the Boston Celtics. Mathurin is coming off a good performance on Sunday but carries a toe injury into this contest. The Pacers are extremely banged up with a handful of players on the injury report. The absence of Mathurin would […]

Malcolm Brogdon Cleared For Monday's Game

Portland Trail Blazers guard Malcolm Brogdon (knee) is available ahead of Monday's game against the Philadelphia 76ers. Brogdon was uncertain coming into the second game of this back-to-back set. He has been dealing with a right knee issue lately. Despite that, Brogdon will play and is expected to have his normal role in the rotation. […]

Tyrese Maxey Ruled Out For Monday

Philadelphia 76ers guard Tyrese Maxey (ankle) has been ruled out ahead of Monday's game against the Portland Trail Blazers. The young guard will miss his second straight game due to a left ankle sprain. The absence of Maxey means that Patrick Beverley will likely draw another start. He finished with 17 points, four rebounds, and […]

Ben Simmons Will Be On Minutes Restriction

Brooklyn Nets guard/forward Ben Simmons (back) has officially been upgraded to active on Monday, which will mark his first game played since Nov. 6. So far this season, he's only appeared in six games, as he's been dealing with an impingement in his back. Back injuries have caused him to miss a full season and […]

Mike Conley Downgraded To Out Against Thunder

Minnesota Timberwolves guard Mike Conley (hamstring) will miss his second consecutive game with left hamstring soreness after he was downgraded from questionable to out on Monday. The veteran point guard has been quite healthy this year, which comes as a pleasant surprise given his injury history throughout his career. With hamstring soreness, the team seems […]

Mike Conley Questionable Monday

Minnesota Timberwolves point guard Mike Conley (hamstring) is questionable for Monday's matchup against the Thunder. The veteran is having trouble with a tight hamstring and could be unavailable for the fourth time in five games. Nickeil Alexander-Walker has done a good job as Conley's replacement in the starting unit and should be on fantasy managers' […]

Ben Simmons Officially Probable For Monday

Brooklyn Nets guard/forward Ben Simmons (back) has been listed as probable for Monday's contest against Utah. Nets head coach Jacques Vaughn said at the weekend that there's a "high likelihood" Simmons will play on Monday, and it indeed looks like he'll make his first appearance since Nov. 6. Simmons had a solid start to the […]

Frank Ntilikina Questionable Monday

Charlotte Hornets guard Frank Ntilikina (hip) is questionable to play on Monday versus the Knicks. The defensive specialist appeared in Charlotte's rotation in back-to-back games last week but had to sit out Saturday's clash against Utah due to discomfort in his left hip. Ntilikina only recently made his season debut and has played 22 total […]

After an exciting start, it's Week 15 of the 2023-2024 NBA season. While you want to have faith in the players you drafted, don't get too attached. You may feel confident about your draft decisions, but remember: stars are born and eroded every day. Take a moment to see what's on the other side of […]

LaMelo Ball Tagged As Questionable Versus Knicks

Charlotte Hornets guard LaMelo Ball (ankle) is dealing with ankle issues again and has been listed as questionable for their game against the New York Knicks on Monday. One of the biggest concerns has been Ball's ankles as they've forced him to miss several games over the past couple of seasons. He already missed a […]

Kyrie Irving Will Remain Sidelined On Monday

Dallas Mavericks guard Kyrie Irving (thumb) has been ruled out for a fourth consecutive game and his 20th game overall. He's still dealing with a sprained thumb right now and there hasn't been a timetable set for his return. Grant Williams entered the starting five in Irving's place over the past three games and he's […]

Tyrese Maxey Could Miss Another Game Monday

Philadelphia 76ers guard Tyrese Maxey (ankle) was unable to play in their last contest against the Denver Nuggets on Saturday due to a left ankle sprain. He's now listed as questionable for their Monday night game against the Portland Trail Blazers as he continues to deal with the ankle pain. The 23-year-old star has only […]

Donovan Mitchell Expected To Play On Monday

Cleveland Cavaliers guard Donovan Mitchell (groin) popped up on the injury report as probable for their Monday night game against the Los Angeles Clippers. The superstar shooting guard hasn't missed a game since December 27 and it would be surprising if he was downgraded from a probable status. Mitchell has taken on a big chunk […]

Anfernee Simons, Scoot Henderson Questionable On Sunday

Portland Trail Blazers guards Anfernee Simons (rib) and Scoot Henderson (quad) have both been listed as questionable for the Sunday night matchup against the Chicago Bulls. Simons has only missed one game so far since the turn of the new year, but he did play 40 minutes in back-to-back games and took a combined 47 […]

Malcolm Brogdon Draws Another Questionable Tag On Sunday

Portland Trail Blazers guard Malcolm Brogdon (knee) received another questionable tag on Sunday for their game against the Chicago Bulls. He's listed with a knee contusion, which forced him to miss their last game on Friday against the San Antonio Spurs. The injury came after he played over 40 minutes in an overtime win against […]

Tyrese Haliburton To Practice On Monday

Indiana Pacers guard Tyrese Haliburton (hamstring) remains out on Sunday against Memphis. He's been battling a hamstring issue, keeping him off the floor for nine of the Pacers' last 10 games. Fortunately, the 23-year-old will practice on Monday, so he's moving in the right direction. But there's a good chance he'll miss Indiana's upcoming games […]

Luke Kennard Unavailable On Sunday

Memphis Grizzlies guard Luke Kennard (knee) isn't available for Sunday's meeting with the Indiana Pacers. The 27-year-old missed Wednesday's win over the Miami Heat because of a thigh issue. But he returned against the Magic on Friday night, finishing with 15 points, six assists, and a steal while shooting 50% from behind the arc. The […]

Dante Exum Ruled Out For Saturday

Dallas Mavericks guard Dante Exum (knee) has been ruled out ahead of Saturday's game against the Sacramento Kings. After playing on Friday, Exum will sit out a day later due to right knee soreness. The Mavs are going to be shorthanded with Derrick Jones Jr. (wrist) also sidelined on Saturday. Jaden Hardy and Seth Curry […]

Luka Doncic Cleared For Saturday

Dallas Mavericks guard Luka Doncic (ankle) will suit up for Saturday's game against the Sacramento Kings. Doncic will play after being listed as questionable coming into this game due to right ankle soreness. His usage should remain sky-high with Kyrie Irving (thumb) still sidelined. It's unlikely that Doncic will surpass his 73-point outing from Friday. […]
