Malcolm Brogdon Continues To Progress
Boston Celtics guard Malcolm Brogdon (hamstring) was able to do more on-court activities on Monday, according to Celtics coach Joe Mazzulla. Despite that, he has already been ruled out for Monday and doesn't have a timetable to return. However, Brogdon is continuing to ramp up his workouts, which is great news. Derrick White will continue […]
Chris Paul To Miss Third Straight Game
Phoenix Suns guard Chris Paul (heel) has been ruled out for Monday's game against the Miami Heat. The veteran guard will miss his third game in a row due to right heel soreness. Cameron Payne will remain in the starting five and has played well lately. He is a strong streaming option while Paul is […]
Cory Joseph Downgraded To Out
Detroit Pistons guard Cory Joseph (hip) has been downgraded to out for Monday's game against the Toronto Raptors. He was held out of Saturday's contest as well due to hip soreness. That resulted in Killian Hayes getting the starting nod. He is worth looking at in deep leagues because of the extended playing time. However, […]
Dennis Smith Jr. Remains Out On Monday
Charlotte Hornets guard Dennis Smith Jr. (ankle) has been ruled out for Monday's game against the Orlando Magic. The 24-year-old will miss at least one more game, but head coach Steve Clifford is hopeful that Smith can play on Wednesday. His absence should result in Theo Maledon getting more minutes. However, he isn't a reliable […]
Tyler Herro To Sit Out On Monday
Miami Heat guard Tyler Herro (ankle) has been ruled out for Monday's game against the Phoenix Suns. The 22-year-old continues to deal with a left ankle sprain that will cost him out for at least one more game. Max Strus should remain in the starting five while Herro is sidelined. Strus has been a top-30 […]
Tre Jones Ruled Out For Monday
San Antonio Spurs guard Tre Jones (illness) has been ruled out for Monday's game against the Golden State Warriors. It sounds like the young guard is dealing with a non-COVID illness, so hopefully he won't miss more time than just this game. Keldon Johnson and Devin Vassell should see a boost in playing time and […]
Stephen Curry, Draymond Green Active On Monday
Golden State Warriors guard Stephen Curry and forward Draymond Green are active for Monday's game against the San Antonio Spurs. Heading into this game it was uncertain if both players were going to play in the second day of a back-to-back set. The Warriors will rest Klay Thompson for injury management, but Curry and Green […]
Coby White Could Be A Possible Trade Candidate
Chicago Bulls guard Coby White is expected to be on the trade block this season. There are rumblings that the 22-year-old guard could be moved prior to February's trade deadline. This shouldn't come as a shock since White's production has taken a hit over the last few seasons. When healthy, White isn't producing the same […]
Kira Lewis Jr. Assigned To G League
New Orleans Pelicans guard Kira Lewis Jr. (knee) has been assigned to the Pelicans' G League affiliate Birmingham Squadron. The 21-year-old guard suffered a torn ACL in December of 2021. The fact he's heading to the G-League is a good sign for his recovery process. It's uncertain when we'll see Lewis on the court again […]
Tre Mann Ruled Out For Monday
Oklahoma City Thunder guard Tre Mann (back) has been ruled out for Monday's game against the Boston Celtics. The young guard is dealing with lower back soreness, so the team has decided to take the cautious approach and rest him. He suffered the injury during Sunday's contest, so it's not surprising to see the team […]
Dennis Schroder, Thomas Bryant Expected To Return On Friday
Los Angeles Lakers guard Dennis Schroder (thumb) and center Thomas Bryant (thumb) are expected to be back for Friday's game, according to teammate Lonnie Walker IV. It sounds like the two players are going to be re-evaluated at some point during the week. After that, both of them should be ready to go on Friday, […]

Minnesota Timberwolves guard D'Angelo Russell posted a very good outing to help his team beat the Cleveland Cavaliers on Sunday night.

Despite the 124-129 loss, the 22-year-old put up 51 points, two rebounds, six assists, and two steals on 16-for-31 shooting from the floor and 10-for-15 from deep. He tied CJ Miles for the second-most threes […]
Seth Curry Questionable For Sunday
Brooklyn Nets guard Seth Curry (rest) is listed as questionable for Sunday's game against the Los Angeles Lakers. This doesn't come as a shock considering this is the second game of a back-to-back set. The Nets want to continue being cautious with their oft-injured guard. His absence would mean Edmond Sumner and Cam Thomas would […]
Luka Doncic Bags Another 40-Point Triple-Double
Dallas Mavericks point guard Luka Doncic posted his second 40-point triple-double of the season Saturday night against Portland, completing a 117-112 victory with 42 points, 13 rebounds and 10 assists. His three-point shooting was poor at 1-for-5, but Doncic's overall effort from the field was very strong as he went 13-for-22 with a 15-for-18 record […]
Bones Hyland Will Miss Sunday's Game
Denver Nuggets guard Bones Hyland remains out on Sunday against Chicago while adhering to health and safety protocols. The 23-year-old didn't suit up on Friday versus Boston, opening the door for Bruce Brown to record a double-double. Based on the strong performance, Brown likely earned himself enough minutes to stay productive for fantasy managers for […]
Ja Morant Doubtful On Sunday
Memphis Grizzlies guard Ja Morant (ankle) is doubtful ahead of Sunday's meeting with the Wizards. Morant has a sore left ankle, so head coach Taylor Jenkins will likely play it safe and keep him out for this one. With Desmond Bane (toe) also unlikely to suit up, Dillon Brooks, Tyus Jones, and John Konchar should […]
LaMelo Ball To Play On Saturday
Charlotte Hornets guard LaMelo Ball (ankle) will make his regular-season debut against the Miami Heat on Saturday. The 21-year-old has been sidelined until now due to a left ankle sprain. The expectation is that Ball will start, but his workload could be limited during his first game back. Theo Maledon should be the primary backup […]
Fred Vanvleet Won't Play On Saturday
Toronto Raptors guard Fred VanVleet (illness) has been ruled out for Saturday's game against the Indiana Pacers. The 28-year-old will sit this one out while he deals with a non-COVID related illness.

Charlotte Hornets guard LaMelo Ball (ankle) has been upgraded to questionable ahead of the rematch with the Heat.

However, even if he […]
Fred VanVleet Riding Questionable Tag Against Indiana
Toronto Raptors guard Fred VanVleet (illness) is uncertain for Saturday's showdown with the Pacers. He's under the weather with a non-COVID-related sickness. VanVleet logged 28 minutes in Friday's game against OKC, so head coach Nick Nurse may keep him out on the second night of a back-to-back as a precaution. With Pascal Siakam (adductor) and […]
Cade Cunningham Not Playing Against Shorthanded Celtics
Detroit Pistons guard Cade Cunningham (shin) won't suit up for Saturday's game against Boston. The 21-year-old was also out on Friday night, which opened the door Bojan Bogdanovic to lead the team with 25 points. Bogdanovic should continue to benefit immensely without Cunningham on the floor, and so should guys like Isaiah Stewart, Killian Hayes, […]

Sacramento Kings point guard De'Aaron Fox led his team to a 120-114 win over the Lakers on Friday, scoring a game-high 32 points and dishing out a season-best 12 assists.
