Fred VanVleet Set For Return Friday
Toronto Raptors point/shooting guard Fred VanVleet (knee) is set to suit up for Friday's game against Charlotte.

Over his last seven games, VanVleet has knocked down an average of 4.6 […]
Davion Mitchell Available On Thursday
Sacramento Kings guard Davion Mitchell (hand) has been removed from the injury report ahead of Thursday's game against the Denver Nuggets. He missed one game prior to the All-Star break due to right hand soreness. However, it sounds like both Mitchell and Jeremy Lamb (ankle) will be ready to go on Thursday. Mitchell should get […]
Derrick Rose Continues To Make Progress
New York Knicks guard Derrick Rose (ankle) was able to practice without any issues on Thursday. In fact, this was the second time that Rose was able to practice with contact. He might even be able to suit up for Friday's game against the Miami Heat. Alec Burks has been starting at point guard and […]
Cameron Payne Ruled Out For Thursday
Phoenix Suns guard Cameron Payne (wrist) has been ruled out for Thursday's game against the Oklahoma City Thunder. The backup point guard was recently listed as day-to-day, but it doesn't sound like he's ready to play yet. Payne is expected to take over as the starting point guard with Chris Paul (thumb) sidelined. Now, Aaron […]

New York Knicks guard Kemba Walker has agreed to sit out the remainder of the regular season.

Luguentz Dort Not Available Against Suns
Oklahoma City Thunder guard Luguentz Dort (shoulder) has been ruled out for Thursday's game against the Phoenix Suns. He missed each of the last two games before the All-Star break due to a shoulder strain. Luckily, Shai Gilgeous-Alexander (ankle) is returning on Thursday, so the Thunder will have some reinforcements. Josh Giddey should continue to […]
Malcolm Brogdon Could Play Soon
Indiana Pacers guard Malcolm Brogdon (Achilles) appears to be in a good place and could return to the court. After Wednesday's practice, Brogdon mentioned that he's in a good place and would be playing if the team played today. He has only played in two games in 2022 due to a lingering Achilles injury. Although, […]
Jevon Carter Likely To Sign With Bucks
Free-agent guard Jevon Carter is expected to sign with the Milwaukee Bucks on Wednesday. He was recently waived by the Brooklyn Nets to make room for Goran Dragic. Carter clears waivers on Wednesday and is expected to join the Bucks roster. He should immediately make an impact in Milwaukee with the Bucks roster being banged […]
Ben Simmons Hopeful To Play In A Few Weeks
Brooklyn Nets guard Ben Simmons is hopeful to play within the next few weeks. He has been ramping up his activities lately. Simmons hasn't played all season while he sat out waiting for a trade from the Philadelphia 76ers. It sounds like Simmons is in good shape and shouldn't need months to get ready. Fantasy […]
Drew Eubanks Joins Portland
Free-agent forward Drew Eubanks has signed a 10-day deal with the Portland Trail Blazers. He has spent each of the last four seasons with the San Antonio Spurs. Eubanks normally only played minutes in the teens and had a minimal impact with the Spurs. He'll likely have a similar role with the Blazers, so it's […]
Trendon Watford Gets Extension
Portland Trail Blazers forward Trendon Watford has agreed to an extension with the organization. Watford has signed a four-year deal worth $5.8 million, but the final two years are non-guaranteed. This is great news for the two-way rookie who has impressed the team in his 33 games this season. Despite this new deal, Watford isn't […]
Jevon Carter Released By Nets
Brooklyn Nets guard Jevon Carter has been released by the organization. The team needed to clear a roster spot for Goran Dragic, so Carter was the odd man out. It's a shame because Carter had shown flashes of potential throughout the season. He even had one game where he knocked down seven three-pointers. The 26-year-old […]
Goran Dragic To Sign With Nets
Free-agent guard Goran Dragic has reportedly agreed to sign with the Brooklyn Nets. Dragic was traded from the Toronto Raptors to the San Antonio Spurs at the trade deadline. However, the rebuilding Spurs had little reason to keep Dragic and agreed on a buyout with the veteran guard. The addition of Dragic should help fill […]
Cameron Payne, Landry Shamet To Return On Thursday
Phoenix Suns guards Cameron Payne (wrist) and Landry Shamet (ankle) will play in Thursday's game against the Oklahoma City Thunder. Payne has been out since late January, but is expected to slide into the starting five with Chris Paul (thumb) out possibly two months. Fantasy managers should jump on the waiver wire and see if […]
Chris Paul Could Miss Two Months
Phoenix Suns guard Chris Paul (wrist) is expected to miss significant time due to injury. The veteran guard suffered a right thumb injury and is expected to miss 6-8 weeks of action. This is a significant blow to both the Suns and to fantasy managers as Paul is likely done for the fantasy playoffs. Cameron […]
Donovan Mitchell Won't Play In All-Star Game
Utah Jazz guard Donovan Mitchell (illness) won't suit up for Sunday's All-Star game. It appears Mitchell is dealing with a non-COVID related illness and will sit this one out. The announcement was made too close to game time, so there won't be an injury replacement for Mitchell. Luckily, the Jazz don't play again until Friday, […]
Ayo Dosunmu Suffers Injury During All-Star Weekend
Chicago Bulls guard Ayo Dosunmu (thumb) is in danger of missing time after suffering an injury during Friday's Clorox Rising Stars event.

Chris Paul Could Miss Time
Phoenix Suns guard Chris Paul (thumb) could be in danger of missing time due to an injury he suffered on Wednesday. Paul mentioned on Saturday that he could miss time due to this issue and has a cast on his right hand. It's uncertain if Paul is going to participate in the All-Star game on […]
Reggie Bullock, Frank Ntilikina Will Miss Thursday’s Contest
Dallas Mavericks shooting guard/small forward Reggie Bullock (hip) and point/shooting guard Frank Ntilikina (ankle) have been ruled out for Thursday's game against New Orleans. Bullock has been sensationally hot from long range over his last nine outings, knocking down an average of 4.3 made triples at a 48.1% clip in that span. With Kristaps Porzingis […]
Cameron Payne, Landry Shamet Set To Return Next Week
Phoenix Suns point guard Cameron Payne (wrist) and shooting guard/small forward Landry Shamet (ankle) are expected to suit up for the team's second-half opener vs. Oklahoma City next Thursday.

Tyler Herro To Remain Out On Thursday
Miami Heat guard Tyler Herro (knee) will miss his second straight game on Thursday when the Heat take on the Charlotte Hornets. Herro has been hampered by a right knee contusion for about 10 days now. He was able to play through the injury this past Saturday, but that was the only action he's seen […]
Dennis Schroder To Start On Wednesday
Houston Rockets guard Dennis Schroder (Achilles) will move into the starting five for Wednesday's game against the Phoenix Suns. He was listed as questionable earlier in the day, but will take over for Kevin Porter Jr. (illness) on Wednesday. Despite starting, Schroder is a risky DFS option. The Rockets have no long term plans for […]
Gary Payton II Moves Into Starting Five On Wednesday
Golden State Warriors guard Gary Payton II will move into the starting five for Wednesday's game against the Denver Nuggets. Jonathan Kuminga has looked solid in the starting unit lately, so this move is a bit odd. Regardless, Payton will get the nod, but isn't much of a fantasy asset. It's unlikely that Payton does […]
Alex Caruso Could Resume Shooting Soon
Chicago Bulls guard Alex Caruso (wrist) is expected to resume shooting and dribbling within the next week, according to head coach Billy Donovan. He has been doing some conditioning drills, but isn't close to returning to the court. The assumption is that Caruso is still a month away from returning. Fantasy managers should consider stashing […]
Fred Vanvleet Won't Play Against Minnesota
Toronto Raptors guard Fred VanVleet (knee) has been ruled out for Wednesday's game against the Minnesota Timberwolves. VanVleet is still expected to participate in All-Star weekend, but will sit this game out as a precaution. Pascal Siakam is expected to run the offense with Vanvleet sidelined. He'll be a strong fantasy option without Vanvleet on […]
Derrick Rose Not Cleared For Contact
New York Knicks guard Derrick Rose (ankle) has not been cleared for contact, according to head coach Tom Thibodeau. Rose has been making progress, but hasn't been cleared for contact yet. He's obviously going to be sidelined until the All-Star break, but hopefully he can return shortly after that. Rose wasn't a great fantasy asset […]
Monte Morris Returning On Wednesday
Denver Nuggets guard Monte Morris (head) will be available for Wednesday's game against the Golden State Warriors. He missed each of the last three games while following the league's concussion protocol guidelines. His returns means Bones Hyland will head back to the second unit. He won't have much fantasy upside off the bench. Also, Facundo […]
Dennis Schroder, Kevin Porter Jr. Questionable For Wednesday
Houston Rockets guards Dennis Schroder (Achilles) and Kevin Porter Jr. (illness) are listed as questionable for Wednesday's game against the Phoenix Suns. The Rockets are in danger of being extremely shorthanded with Christian Wood (illness) also questionable for this game. Jalen Green would likely see all the minutes and opportunities he can handle, assuming Schroder […]
Davion Mitchell Might Miss Wednesday's Game
Sacramento Kings guard Davion Mitchell (hand) is listed as questionable for Wednesday's game against the Chicago Bulls. He appears to be a new addition to the injury report due to right hand soreness. His absence would mean an increased workload for De'Aaron Fox. Also, Donte DiVincenzo and Justin Holiday would likely see more playing time. […]
