Ja Morant Out On Sunday

Memphis Grizzlies point guard Ja Morant (back) will not suit up for Sunday's clash against Washington. After going close to a 30-point triple-double in Saturday's win over Boston, Morant steps aside for at least one game due to back soreness. This is a signal for fantasy managers to fire up Scotty Pippen Jr, who produced […]

Trae Young Ready To Face Nuggets

Atlanta Hawks point guard Trae Young (Achilles) will suit up for Sunday's contest against Denver. He's been upgraded from probable to available. Young is coming off an incredible 31-point, 20-assist outing against the Lakers.

Denver Nuggets guard Jamal Murray (hamstring) is listed as out ahead of Sunday's game against the Atlanta Hawks. Murray is set to miss his second game in a row due to a lingering hamstring injury.

Ja Morant Tagged As Questionable For Sunday

Memphis Grizzlies guard Ja Morant (back) is listed as questionable ahead of Sunday's game against the Washington Wizards. Morant appears to be dealing back soreness, but looked fine on Saturday when he finished with 32 points and nine assists across 34 minutes of action. It sounds like this is a minor issue, but fantasy managers […]

Trae Young Listed As Probable For Sunday

Atlanta Hawks guard Trae Young (Achilles) is considered probable for Sunday's matchup against the Denver Nuggets. Young has been managing right Achilles tendinitis, but it hasn't impacted his performance. The All-Star point guard recently put up a remarkable 31 points and 20 assists in Friday's win over the Lakers, marking the second time in six […]

Cameron Payne Misses Second Consecutive Game

New York Knicks point guard Cameron Payne (elbow) is not ready to rejoin the lineup on Saturday against Detroit. A left elbow problem will keep Payne sidelined for a second consecutive game.

Jalen Brunson Available Versus Pistons

New York Knicks point guard Jalen Brunson (back) will remain in the lineup on Saturday versus Detroit. He was initially regarded as questionable for the contest due to a back issue. With Karl-Anthony Towns (knee) on the shelf, Brunson is looking at extra offensive duties on Saturday. However, with the Pistons allowing the sixth-fewest fantasy […]

Derrick White Good To Go Saturday

Boston Celtics guard Derrick White (foot) will take the court on Saturday against Memphis. He has been upgraded from probable to available. White is dealing with a right foot sprain but is good to go as Boston closes out a back-to-back. He's likely delighted to quickly get a new opportunity to play, as White had […]

Davion Mitchell Will Play Saturday

Toronto Raptors guard Davion Mitchell (hip) is available for Saturday's game against the Dallas Mavericks. The 26-year-old has been dealing with right hip stiffness but will play through the issue.

Jamal Murray Ruled Out For Saturday

Denver Nuggets point guard Jamal Murray (hamstring) will not play in Saturday's matchup against Washington. He has been ruled out after landing on the initial injury report with a questionable tag. Murray's absence will be a big boost for Russell Westbrook's fantasy stock. He's set to move to the starting lineup, where Westbrook has recorded […]

Jalen Brunson Uncertain To Suit Up Versus Detroit

New York Knicks guard Jalen Brunson (back) is questionable heading into Saturday's meeting with the Detroit Pistons. The former Maverick is coming off one of his best showings of the 2024-25 campaign, amassing 24 points and shooting 5-for-6 from behind the arc. But if the back contusion keeps him off the floor on Saturday night, […]

Jamal Murray Questionable For Saturday Night

Denver Nuggets guard Jamal Murray (hamstring) is questionable for Saturday's game against the Washington Wizards. The veteran most recently logged 42 minutes in Thursday's loss to the Cleveland Cavaliers, logging 42 minutes and finishing with 19 points.

Stephen Curry Active Against Timberwolves

Golden State Warriors point guard Stephen Curry (knee) will be in the lineup on Friday against Minnesota. The former MVP returns to action after sitting out Thursday's game against Houston because of a knee issue.

Jaden Hardy Unlikely To Play On Saturday

Dallas Mavericks guard Jaden Hardy (ankle) has been listed as doubtful on the injury report ahead of Saturday's encounter with Toronto. Hardy is battling a right ankle sprain and has logged only 10 total minutes across the previous two games. His role has been minuscule lately, so the Mavericks' rotation won't change much without Hardy […]

Malcolm Brogdon Ruled Out For Saturday

Washington Wizards guard Malcolm Brogdon (hamstring) has been ruled out for Saturday's game against the Denver Nuggets. The veteran guard had been playing well, recording two double-doubles in his last seven games, so his absence is a setback. He is dealing with inflammation in his left hamstring, and fantasy owners are hoping it's not a […]

Scoot Henderson Ruled Out For Friday

Portland Trail Blazers point guard Scoot Henderson (quadriceps) will remain out of the lineup for Friday's matchup against Utah. He's sitting out a fourth consecutive contest after the team initially listed him as questionable for Friday's game. Portland's starting backcourt of Anfernee Simons and Shaedon Sharpe should be in for another busy night, with Dalano […]

Davion Mitchell Labeled As Questionable For Saturday

Toronto Raptors guard Davion Mitchell (hip) is listed as questionable for Saturday's matchup against the Dallas Mavericks due to right hip stiffness. This injury could cause him to miss his first game of the season. While his scoring has been modest at 6.8 points per game, his value lies in his playmaking and defense. Averaging […]

Andrew Nembhard Active Versus Bulls

Indiana Pacers guard Andrew Nembhard (knee) will play against Chicago on Friday. He's back in the lineup after missing Wednesday's loss to Brooklyn. Nembhard only recently returned from a 12-game absence and has been far from his best in the couple of outings he's had. Fantasy managers should tame their expectations regarding Nembhard. Quenton Jackson […]

Gabe Vincent Joins Starting Lineup Friday

Los Angeles Lakers point guard Gabe Vincent will make his second start of the campaign Friday versus Atlanta. He will replace D'Angelo Russell in the starting unit. Vincent's only previous start came last Sunday in a 105-104 win over Utah. The 28-year-old had a quiet but effective game with 10 points, three rebounds, two assists, […]

Coby White Will Play On Friday

Chicago Bulls guard Coby White (ankle) is available ahead of Friday's game against the Indiana Pacers. White is back in the mix after missing each of the last two games due to a sprained ankle. The expectation is that he'll have his normal workload given the team said nothing about him being limited. The return […]

Lonzo Ball Available On Friday

Chicago Bulls guard Lonzo Ball (knee) is available ahead of Friday's game against the Indiana Pacers. As expected, Ball is back in the mix after sitting out of Wednesday's game for rest purposes. The Bulls continue to be cautious with the oft-injured guard. Ball has only been playing minutes in the teens with the team […]

Jamal Murray Questionable To Play Versus Wizards

Denver Nuggets guard Jamal Murray (hamstring) is listed as questionable for Saturday's game against the Washington Wizards due to right hamstring inflammation. Murray has been a key player for the Nuggets, averaging 36.1 minutes per game this season. He's been in solid form lately, contributing both as a scorer and playmaker, with at least six […]

Trae Young Good To Go Versus The Lakers

Atlanta Hawks guard Trae Young (Achilles) will play in Friday's game versus the Los Angeles Lakers. He was listed as probable, so most had already planned on his availability for this one. The 26-year-old hasn't played the best this season, averaging 20.7 points, the second-lowest of his career. He's also shooting a career-low 30.6% from […]

Jalen Brunson Questionable For Saturday

New York Knicks guard Jalen Brunson (back) is dealing with a lower back contusion and is listed as questionable for Saturday's game against the Detroit Pistons. The 28-year-old has yet to miss a game this season, but his potential absence could open up opportunities for Miles McBride and Tyler Kolek. Brunson has been instrumental for […]

Jordan Clarkson Out Again On Friday

Utah Jazz guard Jordan Clarkson (foot) remains sidelined while dealing with plantar fasciitis in his left foot.

While he's out, Collin Sexton (finger) and Keyonte George will continue to see […]
