Cameron Payne Considered Questionable For Wednesday's Game

New York Knicks guard Cameron Payne (hamstring) is considered questionable for Wednesday's game against Atlanta. Payne missed his first game of the season on Monday versus Houston due to a hamstring strain. The veteran has averaged 15.4 minutes as a backup in New York, posting 5.6 points and 3.2 assists. Tyler Kolek gets more of […]

De'Anthony Melton Remains Out On Wednesday

Golden State Warriors guard De'Anthony Melton (back) will miss a fifth consecutive game on Wednesday versus Boston. He's battling a lower back problem, leaving the Warriors without a versatile backcourt option. Moses Moody, Buddy Hield, and Brandin Podziemski (illness) are all in a position to benefit. Hield, who has scored 20-plus points in four consecutive […]

Andrew Nembhard Questionable For Wednesday

Indiana Pacers guard Andrew Nembhard (knee) is on the injury report as questionable ahead of Wednesday's contest against Orlando. Nembhard missed one game last week due to a knee issue and continues to nurse soreness in his left knee. Ben Sheppard and T.J. McConnell would see more minutes if Nembhard is unavailable. The latter is […]

Bradley Beal Likely To Play On Wednesday

Phoenix Suns guard Bradley Beal (elbow) will likely remain in the lineup on Wednesday versus Miami. The veteran has picked up a right elbow injury early in the season, but he's considered probable for Wednesday's game. Beal has provided solid production thus far with 17.2 points, 3.8 rebounds, 4.2 assists, and 1.6 steals. However, he's […]

D'Angelo Russell Likely Good To Go On Wednesday

Los Angeles Lakers guard D'Angelo Russell (foot) is probable heading into Wednesday's game against the Grizzlies. The veteran has appeared on the injury report of late for various reasons. However, he hasn't missed a game so far during the 2024–25 campaign. Unfortunately, Russell has struggled this season, averaging 12.0 points and 30.8% shooting from behind […]

Trae Young Expected To Play Versus The Knicks

Atlanta Hawks guard Trae Young (rib) is expected to play on Wednesday versus the visiting Knicks. The 26-year-old logged only 23 minutes in Monday's loss to the Boston Celtics, exiting the contest prematurely due to a rib injury. Fortunately, it looks like he'll be good to go. Young has averaged 23.9 points, 11.0 assists, and […]

Immanuel Quickley Unlikely To Play On Wednesday

Toronto Raptors guard Immanuel Quickley (pelvis) is doubtful for Wednesday's contest against the Sacramento Kings. The former Knick has been sidelined since the opener because of a pelvic contusion. While there were reports he was nearing a return, that's unlikely to happen on Wednesday, barring a miracle. With that in mind, Davion Mitchell, averaging 8.9 […]

Jamal Murray Won’t Play Against OKC

Denver Nuggets guard Jamal Murray (concussion) won't play on Wednesday versus OKC. Murray suffered a concussion during a recent meeting with the Minnesota Timberwolves. As a result, he's been sidelined for the Nuggets' previous two contests. It's not an ideal scenario for Denver, with the team also expected to be without Aaron Gordon (calf) for […]

Trae Young Exits Early With Rib Injury

Atlanta Hawks point guard Trae Young (rib) was limited to 23 minutes in Monday's blowout loss to Boston. He left the game in the third quarter due to a right rib sprain. It was a miserable night for Young, as he notched only two points on 1-for-10 shooting, missing all six attempts from three-point land. […]

Jordan Hawkins Out Versus The Blazers

New Orleans Pelicans guard Jordan Hawkins (back) will miss Monday's contest versus the Trail Blazers. The former Pelican had 19 points, three assists, and one block in Sunday's loss to the Atlanta Hawks. But he'll miss Monday's game because of back soreness. With Zion Williamson (thigh) out again, the team will rely more on Brandon […]

Immanuel Quickley Still Out On Monday

Toronto Raptors guard Immanuel Quickley (pelvis) remains out for Monday's matchup against the Denver Nuggets. The former Knick hasn't played since the opener. While he's moving in the right direction, Monday's absence will mark his sixth missed game of the 2024-25 campaign. With Scottie Barnes (eye) also out, RJ Barrett and Gradey Dick are the […]

D'Angelo Russell Available Monday

According to Jovan Buha of The Athletic, Los Angeles Lakers guard D'Angelo Russell (foot) has been cleared to play for Monday's matchup with the Detroit Pistons. The veteran guard was listed as probable with a right foot contusion earlier in the day, but it appears the injury won't keep him off the court for Monday's contest. He […]

Ben Simmons Out Against The Grizzlies

Brooklyn Nets utility man Ben Simmons won't suit up on Monday night against the Memphis Grizzlies. Simmons won't play in back-to-back contests for the foreseeable future, so his absence is maintenance related. But with Noah Clowney (hip) also out, Nicolas Claxton may work his way back into the starting lineup. If not, Brooklyn may go […]

Stephen Curry Back For Monday’s Game

Golden State Warriors guard Stephen Curry (ankle) will return for Monday's game against the Wizards. The sharpshooter has missed the last three games because of a sprained right ankle. But he had been progressing even more over the last few days, so fantasy managers had a feeling he was on his way back. While there […]

De'Aaron Fox Playing Through Hand Injury

Sacramento Kings star guard De'Aaron Fox (hand) is dealing with a ligament issue in his left pinky on his shooting hand, but he intends to play through it. The speedy guard dislocated the finger during training camp, though X-rays were negative. The injury hasn't impacted his scoring efficiency, as he's shooting a solid 47.7 percent […]

Josh Giddey Added To Injury Report On Monday

Chicago Bulls guard/forward Josh Giddey (illness) popped up on the team's injury report early Monday afternoon with a non-COVID illness. At the moment, he's listed as probable, so they're expecting him to still suit up. His status should be monitored though in case he doesn't feel well when it gets closer to tip-off. If Giddey […]

Kevin Huerter Leaves Shootaround Early, Remains Questionable

Sacramento Kings guard Kevin Huerter (illness) left the team's shootaround session early on Monday and is still considered questionable for the game against the Miami Heat. He was forced to watch from the sidelines during their last game against the Raptors, and it seems that he's not fully recovered from his illness just yet. If […]

Immanuel Quickley Draws Another Doubtful Status On Monday

Toronto Raptors guard Immanuel Quickley (pelvis) still doesn't seem ready to take the court after suffering a pelvic injury in the season opener. On Monday, and before their last game, Quickley is considered doubtful to re-join the team. Fantasy managers can continue to go with their plan B. Gradey Dick, Ochai Agbaji, and Davion Mitchell […]

D'Angelo Russell Listed As Probable On Monday

Los Angeles Lakers guard D'Angelo Russell (foot) has received a probable tag on Monday and should be able to suit up against the Detroit Pistons. The veteran combo guard was listed with a right foot contusion which seems like it's not too severe to keep him off the floor. He'll continue in his starting spot […]

De'Anthony Melton Won't Suit Up On Monday

Golden State Warriors guard De'Anthony Melton (back) will have to miss his fourth game in a row while dealing with a strained lower back. The two-way guard experienced a lot of back issues last season with the 76ers, and it caused him to miss more games than he played. Hopefully, the strain isn't too severe […]

Spurs Head Coach Gregg Popovich Out With Health Issue

San Antonio Spurs head coach Gregg Popovich is currently suffering from an undisclosed health issue that will keep him away from the team indefinitely. According to Shams Charania, the legendary head coach will not be on the sidelines for at least the team's upcoming road trip and was not there for their latest win on […]

Fantasy Basketball Waiver Wire Pickups for Week 3 (2024-2025): November 4 - November 10

We are already two weeks into the season and the injury bug has hit several big names. Joel Embiid has yet to play a game and neither has Kawhi Leonard. Paolo Banchero and Scottie Barnes joined the long-term injury list and the opportunities for lesser-known players across the league have been many as a result. […]

Jamal Murray Listed As Out On Monday Against Toronto

Denver Nuggets point guard Jamal Murray (concussion) is listed as out for Monday night's matchup against the Toronto Raptors. Murray sustained a concussion in Friday night's playoff rematch against the Minnesota Timberwolves and missed Saturday night's game against the Utah Jazz. With Murray going through concussion protocol, it wouldn't be surprising to see him miss […]

Stephen Curry Listed As Questionable For Monday Night

Golden State Warriors guard Stephen Curry (ankle) is listed as questionable for Monday night's game against the Washington Wizards. Curry has been dealing with an ankle sprain that has kept him out of the team's last three games. The questionable mark is a step in the right direction for the 36-year-old and the Warriors, who […]

Immanuel Quickley Doubtful For Monday's Game

Toronto Raptors guard Immanuel Quickley (pelvis) is considered doubtful ahead of Monday's game against the Denver Nuggets. Quickley has been sidelined due to a right pelvic contusion that he suffered during the season opener. The Raptors continue to list him as doubtful, so it doesn't sound like he's close to a return. Davion Mitchell figures […]

Austin Reaves Participates During Sunday's Practice

Los Angeles Lakers guard Austin Reaves (ankle) was able to suit up and participate during Sunday's practice. This news comes after Reaves went to the locker room during Friday's game due to an injury. Reaves was able to return to the contest, but appears to still be banged up. It seems like Reaves should be […]

Ben Simmons Available On Sunday

Brooklyn Nets guard Ben Simmons (back) is available for Sunday's game against the Detroit Pistons. The Nets continue to be cautious with Simmons, but he'll suit up for this game. However, he's unlikely to play on Monday against the Memphis Grizzlies. The Nets are holding Simmons out of back-to-back contests, so he shouldn't be available […]

Marcus Smart Labeled Week-To-Week

Memphis Grizzlies guard Marcus Smart (ankle) was diagnosed with a sprained right ankle, an injury he sustained during the October 30 meeting with the Brooklyn Nets. He is considered "week-to-week." Smart is no stranger to injury, with the 2022 Defensive Player of the Year appearing in just 20 games in his first season with the […]

Ben Simmons Questionable Versus The Pistons On Sunday

Brooklyn Nets utility man Ben Simmons (back) is questionable for Sunday's contest versus Detroit. It's the first of back-to-back outings for Brooklyn, so if Simmons plays against the Pistons, he likely won't be out there on Monday against the Grizzlies. The 28-year-old started in all five of his appearances this season. But he hasn't been […]
