Gary Harris And P.J. Dozier Out Saturday
Denver Nuggets guards Gary Harris (groin) and P.J. Dozier (hamstring) will not play Saturday against the Sacramento Kings.

The Nuggets started JaMychal Green at small forward on Thursday, which didn't work out […]
D'Angelo Russell And Naz Reid Both Starting Friday
Minnesota Timberwolves guard D'Angelo Russell (quad) and center Naz Reid (wrist) will start Friday against the Oklahoma City Thunder.

Ben Simmons Set For Return To Action Saturday
Philadelphia 76ers point guard/small forward Ben Simmons (calf) has been listed as probable to take the floor for Saturday's game against the Nets as he works through a tight left calf. Simmons was held out of the team's most recent matchup, allowing Furkan Korkmaz to enter the starting five, where he played 38 minutes and […]
Collin Sexton Gets Green Light To Suit Up Friday
Cleveland Cavaliers point/shooting guard Collin Sexton (neck) has been cleared to play in Friday's contest versus Milwaukee despite a previous questionable designation due to a neck ailment. Since a five-game absence related to an ankle injury, Sexton has continued to be an offensive dynamo, averaging 23.6 PPG in nine games upon his return. With two […]
Atlanta Lists Trae Young As Questionable For Saturday
Atlanta Hawks point guard Trae Young (calf) has been deemed questionable to play in Saturday's contest versus the Raptors due to a right calf contusion. Young missed Thursday's game due to the ailment, allowing Rajon Rondo to draw the start. But the veteran shot 0-for-7 from the field in that outing, making him a tricky […]
Shai Gilgeous-Alexander And Luguentz Dort Injuries Not Serious
Oklahoma City Thunder guards Shai Gilgeous-Alexander (knee) and Luguentz Dort (knee), who are both out Friday, are just day-to-day. Head coach Mark Daigneault noted neither injury was "overly serious" and they were making improvements day by day. This is a sigh of relief for the Thunder who are down to just eight active players Friday […]
Raul Neto Could Return As Soon As Sunday
Washington Wizards point guard Raul Neto (groin) is "getting really close" to playing, per head coach Scott Brooks. Brooks went on to say that Neto could return as early as this Sunday against the Charlotte Hornets. This would be great news for Neto, who has missed four straight games with a groin injury. The Wizards […]
Damian Lillard, Derrick Jones Jr. On Track To Return Saturday
Portland Trail Blazers point guard Damian Lillard (abdominal) and small/power forward Derrick Jones Jr. (foot) are listed as probable to suit up for Saturday's game versus the Knicks.

Payton Pritchard Will Return For Friday’s Contest
Boston Celtics point guard Payton Pritchard (knee) is back in the fold for Friday's game versus the Clippers after a six-game absence due to a sprained MCL. His return coincides with the absence of Jaylen Brown (knee) and Marcus Smart (calf), paving the way for the rookie to potentially see a sizable role among the […]
Patrick Beverley Out Again On Friday Evening
Los Angeles Clippers guard Patrick Beverley (knee) will not suit up on Friday night against the Celtics. This will mark the veteran's seventh-straight absence while he continues to deal with a knee issue. In his absence, Reggie Jackson, who was held scoreless on Wednesday against the Cleveland Cavaliers throughout 23 minutes of work, should get […]
Theo Maledon Will Miss Friday’s Contest
Oklahoma City Thunder point/shooting guard Theo Maledon has been deemed unavailable for Friday's game against Minnesota due to the league's health and safety protocols. Maledon's absence puts OKC in a perilous position as they'll have just the league minimum of eight players at their disposal, with Hamidou Diallo and Kenrich Williams likely to see whopping […]
Raul Neto Will Sit Out On Friday Night
Washington Wizards guard Raul Neto (groin) will not play on Friday against the Miami Heat. The 28-year-old has missed his previous three games already while working his way back from a groin issue. In his stead, Ish Smith should continue to see an uptick in minutes, serving as relief for Russell Westbrook.
Terry Rozier Expected To Play Friday
Charlotte Hornets guard Terry Rozier (ankle) said there is a 99 percent chance that he suits up for Friday's game against the Utah Jazz. He was listed as probable on the injury report, but it sounds like he'll play through the ankle sprain. LaMelo Ball might have won the starting role, which means his fantasy […]
Dennis Schroder Pours In Efficient 21 Points

Denver Nuggets guard Jamal Murray scored a team-high 20 points in a losing effort to the Lakers on Thursday night. Murray added five assists, three rebounds, two triples, a steal, and a block in 37 minutes. The 23-year-old hasn't exactly been a bust, though it's been a bit of a tough season for him as […]
Stephen Curry Has 28 Points In Thursday's Win
Golden State Warriors point guard Stephen Curry finished Thursday's 147-116 win over Dallas with 28 points on 9-for-17 shooting.

Avery Bradley To Miss The Next 3-4 Weeks
Miami Heat guard Avery Bradley (calf) will miss the next three to four weeks with a strained right calf. Bradley has been in and out of the rotation for Miami, a team that hasn't been able to catch a break with injuries. Tyler Herro and Duncan Robinson will likely pick up the slack on the wings, […]
D'Angelo Russell Remains Questionable Friday
Minnesota Timberwolves guard D'Angelo Russell (quad) is questionable again Friday against the Oklahoma City Thunder. Russell has been listed as questionable for the past few games as he is playing through a quad injury. However, this is turning into a LeBron James situation and does not appear in any danger of missing Friday. Russell is […]
Luguentz Dort Will Sit Against Minnesota
Oklahoma City Thunder guard Luguentz Dort (knee) will miss Friday's contest against the Minnesota Timberwolves. Dort left Wednesday's game shortly after it began with knee soreness and is already out ahead of Friday. This could be a lengthy absence which would mean a ton of minutes for Hamidou Diallo. Diallo was already starting for Shai […]
Shai Gilgeous-Alexander Remains Out Friday
Oklahoma City Thunder guard Shai Gilgeous-Alexander (knee) will miss his second straight game Friday against the Minnesota Timberwolves. This sounds like a more serious injury than originally thought with Gilgeous-Alexander being ruled out more than a day in advance. Luguentz Dort (knee) and George Hill (thumb) are also out, so Theo Maledon and Hamidou Diallo […]
Payton Pritchard Upgraded To Questionable Friday
Boston Celtics guard Payton Pritchard (knee) has a chance to play Friday against the Los Angeles Clippers. Pritchard has been sidelined since suffering an MCL sprain on January 22nd, but was upgraded to questionable on Friday. If Pritchard is close to playing, some sort of minutes restriction would be expected after the lengthy absence. Jeff […]
Collin Sexton Is Questionable Friday With Neck Strain
Cleveland Cavaliers point guard Collin Sexton (neck) is questionable to play Friday against the Milwaukee Bucks.

Sexton could be seeing some wear and tear from all the run he has […]
Anfernee Simons On 20-Minute Restriction Thursday
Portland Trail Blazers guard Anfernee Simons (hamstring) will be limited to around 20 minutes Thursday against the Philadelphia 76ers. Simons is getting the start with Damian Lillard (abdomen) out, but had aggravated his hamstring in their last game Tuesday. Simons was playing well leading up to the injury, but is looking like a fade in […]
Ben Simmons Ruled Out Thursday
Philadelphia 76ers guard/forward Ben Simmons (calf) will not play Thursday against the Portland Trail Blazers. Simmons apparently had his calf tighten up Wednesday night and is not healthy enough to go in the back-to-back set. Head coach Doc Rivers did not name a replacement starter, but did mention he was leaning towards Tyrese Maxey. Shake […]
Trae Young Out Thursday Against Jazz
Atlanta Hawks point guard Trae Young (calf) will not play Thursday against the Utah Jazz. Young is being listed on the injury report with a right calf contusion and will likely cede the starting spot to back up point guard Rajon Rondo in this one. The Hawks are in the second night of a back-to-back […]
Damian Lillard Out Thursday
Portland Trail Blazers guard Damian Lillard (abdominal) will miss his first game of the season on Thursday against the 76ers with an abdominal strain. It's a big loss for Portland in their attempt to win this basketball game and a huge loss for fantasy managers. Anfernee Simons will likely start at the point, but he's […]
De'Aaron Fox Has Big Game Against Celtics
Sacramento Kings guard De'Aaron Fox scored 26 points on 9-for-17 shooting in Wednesday's win against the Boston Celtics. He added in 11 assists as well while shooting 3-for-10 from three.
