LaMelo Ball Likely To Play On Friday

Charlotte Hornets guard LaMelo Ball (illness) is listed as probable for Friday's matchup with the Cleveland Cavaliers. The star point guard is dealing with an illness, but it doesn't seem to be too severe since he's appeared in the last three games and should play in this one. Over the previous three contests, Ball has […]

Sacramento Kings guard Malik Monk (toe) will miss a second consecutive game on Friday against the San Antonio Spurs.

Tyler Herro Considered Questionable For Friday

Miami Heat guard Tyler Herro (illness) is on the injury report with a questionable tag ahead of Friday's encounter with the Minnesota Timberwolves. Miami's leading scorer is battling an illness and might have to miss a second straight game. Terry Rozier may remain in the starting lineup if Herro can't return on Friday. The former […]

Austin Reaves Good To Go Thursday

Los Angeles Lakers guard Austin Reaves (calf) will suit up for Thursday's clash against the New York Knicks. He's back in the fold after sitting out a couple of games due to a calf strain. Reaves' return is unfortunate for Gabe Vincent, who will once again have to settle for a bench role, even though […]

Luka Doncic Upgraded To Available Thursday

Los Angeles Lakers point guard Luka Doncic (knee) will be active on Thursday against the New York Knicks. The team has upgraded his status from probable to available.

Mike Conley Ready To Return Friday

Minnesota Timberwolves point guard Mike Conley (rest) has not been included on the injury report for Friday's game against the Miami Heat. The veteran seems ready to return to the lineup after missing the tail end of a back-to-back on Wednesday against the Charlotte Hornets. Conley has not been a good fantasy asset in 2024-25, […]

Tyrese Haliburton Out On Thursday

Indiana Pacers point guard Tyrese Haliburton (hip) has been ruled out for Thursday's contest against the Atlanta Hawks. He will be sidelined for only the second time this season.

Jrue Holiday Remains Out On Thursday Versus 76ers

Justin Turpin of WEEI.com reports that Boston Celtics guard Jrue Holiday (finger) is unavailable for Thursday's game against the Philadelphia 76ers.

DraftKings NBA DFS Picks for Today (Thursday, 3/6/25): Daily Fantasy Basketball Advice

After a wild slate last night with some high-scoring lineups due to all the value that emerged late in the day, we are back for a six-game slate on Thursday night that should be (fingers crossed) less eventful in terms of the number of players sitting out. Let's dive in and find some good options […]

Lonzo Ball May Miss Third Consecutive Game

Chicago Bulls point guard Lonzo Ball (wrist) remains questionable on the injury report and could be out for a third straight game on Thursday against the Orlando Magic. Ball has been sidelined with a right wrist sprain. With Josh Giddey (quadriceps) and Kevin Huerter (knee) also nursing injuries, Tre Jones, Dalen Terry, Jevon Carter, and […]

Josh Giddey Questionable Against Magic

Chicago Bulls guard Josh Giddey (quadriceps) has been listed as questionable for Thursday's matchup against the Orlando Magic. Giddey enjoyed his best stretch of the season last month, but he is now dealing with a quadriceps contusion in early March, which could sideline him for a second consecutive game. With Giddey out, Tre Jones moved […]

Trae Young Probable Thursday

Atlanta Hawks point guard Trae Young (Achilles) is expected to suit up for Thursday's clash against the Indiana Pacers, as the team lists him as probable on the injury report.

FanDuel NBA DFS Picks for Today (Thursday, 3/6/25): Daily Fantasy Basketball Advice

Welcome back, RotoBallers! We have a solid Thursday night slate ahead of us. It is a small six-game slate but this one has some potentially high-scoring games. Rockets-Pelicans, Lakers-Knicks, and Hawks-Pacers are all pushing 228+ point totals. There are quite a few injuries on this slate and some unknowns so keep an eye on the […]

Luka Doncic Expected To Play On Thursday

Los Angeles Lakers guard Luka Doncic (knee) is listed as probable ahead of Thursday's game against the New York Knicks. The superstar guard continues to be listed on the injury report, but that hasn't stopped him from playing lately. Doncic has suited up in six straight games and played 34 minutes or more in five […]

Ja Morant Will Play Against Oklahoma City

Memphis Grizzlies guard Ja Morant (shoulder) will be available to return after a two-game absence on Wednesday night for his team's big matchup with the Thunder. His return will help lessen the workload of Desmond Bane, but both guards will likely have to carry plenty of offense with Jaren Jackson Jr. (ankle) and Santi Aldama […]

Tyrese Maxey Will Not Play Thursday Against Boston

76ers guard Tyrese Maxey (back) is listed as out for his team's trip to Boston on Thursday night. This will be Maxey's second straight absence after also missing Tuesday's game with what the team is calling a "lower back sprain." While they have not put a timetable on his return, it sounds like an injury […]

Fred VanVleet Listed As Out Thursday Against New Orleans

Rockets guard Fred VanVleet will miss his third straight game on Thursday due to an ankle injury. He missed 11 games in February with the same issue and returned for one game on March 1 against the Kings. He played 35 minutes but only had three points to go with five assists and five rebounds. […]

Tyrese Haliburton On The Injury Report For Thursday

Indiana Pacers guard Tyrese Haliburton (hip) is questionable for Thursday's game versus Atlanta. The 2020 No. 12 overall pick has averaged 18.5 points and 8.9 assists this season, both down from the 2023-24 campaign. Fortunately, he's only missed one game. With that in mind, if Haliburton can't get on the floor against the Hawks, Andrew […]

Cole Anthony Questionable Versus The Bulls

Orlando Magic guard Cole Anthony (toe) is questionable for Thursday's game against Chicago. The 24-year-old had been handling things at the one spot in place of Jalen Suggs (knee), who is out indefinitely. However, he wasn't available when the Magic lost to the Raptors on Tuesday night. Cory Joseph got the start, finishing with eight […]

Isaiah Joe Returns From Two-Game Absence

Oklahoma City Thunder guard Isaiah Joe (back) has been cleared to play against the Memphis Grizzlies on Wednesday. The talented sniper has missed a couple of games due to back soreness. Joe is averaging 9.4 points in his fifth NBA season, shooting 40 percent from downtown. The Grizzlies give up the fifth-most three-point attempts in […]

Malik Monk Sits Out Wednesday's Game

Sacramento Kings guard Malik Monk (toe) will not be in action on Wednesday against the Denver Nuggets. The team has downgraded Monk's status from questionable to out, as the 27-year-old needs more time to recover from a toe sprain. Keon Ellis and Markelle Fultz are potential candidates to replace Monk in the starting lineup on […]

Damian Lillard Cleared For Action Wednesday

Milwaukee Bucks point guard Damian Lillard (eye) will play in Wednesday's contest against the Dallas Mavericks. The veteran star took an elbow to his right eye in Tuesday's matchup with the Atlanta Hawks, but fortunately, he didn't suffer a serious injury, and Milwaukee has upgraded Lillard's status from probable to available. Lillard has been somewhat […]

Keyonte George Out On Wednesday

Utah Jazz guard Keyonte George (illness) has been ruled out for Wednesday's contest against the Washington Wizards. He is battling an illness, and the team has downgraded George from questionable to out. The 21-year-old joins a long list of absentees on Wednesday. Isaiah Collier will be Utah's only regular starter available. Johnny Juzang, Brice Sensabaugh, […]

Jrue Holiday Won't Play Against Portland

Justin Turpin of WEEI.com reports that Boston Celtics guard Jrue Holiday (finger) is unavailable for Wednesday's game against the Portland Trail Blazers.

The Celtics have multiple key players on the injury list, and with Holiday's absence, Payton Pritchard and Sam Hauser will likely see increased roles this […]

Payton Pritchard Available On Wednesday Night

Boston Celtics guard Payton Pritchard (hip) is available on Wednesday against Portland. He appeared on the injury report because of left hip flexor tightness after scoring 11 points in Sunday's win over the Denver Nuggets. But the 27-year-old was listed as probable, so fantasy managers had a feeling he'd be out there. With Jayson Tatum […]

Derrick White Active Against The Blazers

Boston Celtics guard Derrick White (back) is available for Tuesday's game against Portland. He was listed as probable on the injury report heading into this contest after going for 17 points in Sunday's win over the Denver Nuggets. But the low back contusion won't be enough to keep him off the floor. With Jayson Tatum […]
