Ben Simmons To Miss Road Trip

Los Angeles Clippers guard/forward Ben Simmons (knee) won't travel with the team for the upcoming three-game road trip. Simmons has missed the last five games and will sit out at least three more contests. When healthy, Simmons was actually a decent fantasy option for the Clippers, but it's unclear when he's going to play again. […]

Jose Alvarado Available Versus Memphis

New Orleans Pelicans guard Jose Alvarado (hip) will play on Sunday against Memphis. He had 17 points and seven assists in Saturday's loss to the Houston Rockets.

CJ McCollum Sitting Versus Memphis

New Orleans Pelicans guard CJ McCollum (rest) won't play on Sunday against the visiting Grizzlies. The veteran amassed 17 points, five boards, and one steal while shooting 4-for-7 from deep in Saturday's loss to the Houston Rockets. But McCollum and Zion Williamson will take the night off to rest.

Fantasy Basketball Waiver Wire Pickups and Streamers for Week 19 (2024-25): March 10 - March 16

For many of you, the playoffs have arrived! There's no use holding onto injured players (without IL spots) when every game matters in H2H matchups! Planning out your moves and making timely adds will be crucial this week, especially with so many teams (both playoff teams and tanking teams) resting players so often. Most leagues […]

LeBron James Suiting Up Versus Boston

Los Angeles Lakers forward LeBron James (foot) will play on Saturday against Boston.

The Lakers have won their last eight games, most recently beating the Knicks in overtime on Thursday night. […]

Luka Doncic Available On Saturday

Los Angeles Lakers guard Luka Doncic (knee) will play on Saturday against Boston. He has a bruised knee. However, the Lakers have won their last eight contests, so it's hard to imagine Doncic would have missed a nationally televised game versus the defending champs. The 26-year-old had 32 points, 12 assists, seven boards, and four […]

Coby White Ready To Go On Saturday

Chicago Bulls guard Coby White (toe) has been cleared to play ahead of Saturday's game against the Miami Heat.

Lonzo Ball To Miss Another Game

Chicago Bulls guard Lonzo Ball (wrist) has been ruled out ahead of Saturday's game against the Miami Heat. As expected, Ball will miss this game after being listed as doubtful coming into it. Ball will miss his fourth game in a row due to a wrist sprain. The team hasn't given much of an update […]

The 26-year-old has […]

LaMelo Ball Won't Play Against Brooklyn

Charlotte Hornets guard LaMelo Ball (right ankle, injury management) won't play on Saturday versus Brooklyn. He didn't feel well heading into Friday's meeting with the Cavaliers. However, the 2020 No. 3 overall pick was good to go, although he finished with only 13 points before fouling out after just 23 minutes of action. Miles Bridges, […]

De'Aaron Fox May Undergo Surgery In The Coming Weeks

San Antonio Spurs guard De'Aaron Fox (finger) may undergo surgery within the next few weeks. The former Sacramento King has been battling a left pinkie injury.

Luka Doncic Probable For Saturday Night

Los Angeles Lakers guard Luka Doncic (knee) is expected to suit up for Saturday's meeting with the Celtics.

But Los Angeles will need Doncic in the […]

Jrue Holiday Questionable Against The Lakers

Boston Celtics guard Jrue Holiday (finger) is questionable for Saturday's game against the Lakers. He's missed the last four contests because of a finger injury. But, truth be told, Holiday hasn't been the most consistent fantasy option during the 2024-25 campaign, averaging only 10.8 points per game, the second-lowest mark of his career. Sam Hauser […]

Trae Young Tagged As Probable For Saturday

Atlanta Hawks guard Trae Young (Achilles) is listed as probable ahead of Saturday's game against the Indiana Pacers. Unsurprisingly, Young is listed on the injury report due to an Achilles issue that has bothered him most of the season. Despite that, Young has suited up in eight straight games, so fantasy managers should expect him […]

Bennedict Mathurin Might Miss Saturday's Game

Indiana Pacers guard Bennedict Mathurin (wrist) is listed as questionable ahead of Saturday's game against the Atlanta Hawks. Mathurin has missed the last four games due to a left wrist sprain. His possible absence could be bad news for the Pacers with Tyrese Haliburton (hip) also listed as questionable for this game. The continued absence […]

Tyrese Haliburton Listed As Questionable For Saturday

Indiana Pacers guard Tyrese Haliburton (hip) is listed as questionable ahead of Saturday's game against the Atlanta Hawks.

McConnell are expected to see increased roles in the […]

Coby White On Track To Play Saturday

Chicago Bulls guard Coby White (toe) is listed as probable ahead of Saturday's game against the Miami Heat. White appears to be dealing with a minor toe injury, but that shouldn't stop him from suiting up for this game. He has been a strong fantasy option lately and is coming off a 44-point performance during […]

Jose Alvarado Uncertain For Saturday

New Orleans Pelicans guard Jose Alvarado (hip) is listed as questionable ahead of Saturday's game against the Houston Rockets. The 26-year-old appears to have picked up a left hip injury during his last game which could leave the Pelicans shorthanded this weekend.

Reed Sheppard Won't Play On Saturday

Houston Rockets guard Reed Sheppard (thumb) has been ruled out ahead of Saturday's game against the New Orleans Pelicans. The rookie guard has been diagnosed with an avulsion on his right thumb.

Houston Rockets guard Fred VanVleet (ankle) has been ruled out ahead of Saturday's game against the New Orleans Pelicans. The veteran guard is set to miss his fourth game in a row due to a right ankle sprain. VanVleet returned from an 11-game absence on last Saturday, but he hasn't played since then. His next […]

Milwaukee Bucks guard Damian Lillard (eye) is listed as probable ahead of Saturday's game against the Orlando Magic. Lillard appears to be in line to play despite dealing with a minor eye issue. He played through the injury on Wednesday and finished with 34 points and five assists across 26 minutes of action. Fantasy managers […]

Tyler Herro Back On Friday Night

Miami Heat guard Tyler Herro (illness) will play on Friday versus Minnesota. He missed Wednesday's loss to the Cavs due to a head cold and was questionable heading into this game.

Keyonte George Upgraded To Available Friday

Utah Jazz guard Keyonte George (illness) will rejoin the lineup for Friday's tilt against the Toronto Raptors. He missed the previous game due to an illness and was initially listed as questionable for Friday.

Jalen Brunson Out At Least Two Weeks

According to ESPN's Shams Charania, New York Knicks guard Jalen Brunson (ankle) will miss time after suffering a sprained right ankle in Thursday's overtime loss to the Los Angeles Lakers. He will be re-evaluated in two weeks. The 28-year-old has had a fantastic 2024-25 campaign, averaging 26.1 points, 7.4 assists, and 3.0 rebounds while shooting […]

Dallas Mavericks guard Dante Exum (foot) will return from a one-game absence on Friday versus the Memphis Grizzlies.

Dallas has a host of players missing, so it's not unreasonable to think that Exum can make a […]

Jalen Brunson Sidelined On Friday

New York Knicks guard Jalen Brunson (ankle) is ruled out for Friday's matchup with the Los Angeles Clippers. Brunson suffered what appeared to be a right ankle sprain during overtime in Thursday's 113-109 loss to the Lakers. He exited the game before it concluded with 1:20 remaining due to the injury. Despite suffering the setback, the 28-year-old […]

LaMelo Ball Available Versus Cleveland

Charlotte Hornets guard LaMelo Ball (illness) will play on Friday against Cleveland. He's been on the injury report with a nagging ankle issue. But Ball was in danger of missing Friday's game because of an illness. The Cavaliers are a top team in the National Basketball Association. However, the 23-year-old has averaged 27.5 points, 8.0 […]

Keyonte George Questionable Friday Versus Raptors

Utah Jazz guard Keyonte George (illness) is still battling an illness and is considered questionable for Friday night's game against the Toronto Raptors.

Dante Exum Receives Questionable Status On Friday

Dallas Mavericks guard Dante Exum (foot) may return from a one-game absence after receiving a questionable tag on the injury report for Friday's game against the Memphis Grizzlies.
