LeBron James, Anthony Davis Get Green Light To Play Thursday
The Los Angeles Lakers will have both point guard/small forward LeBron James (ankle) and power forward/center Anthony Davis (adductor) on the floor for Thursday's contest versus the Spurs. Both had drawn questionable tags due to lingering ailments, but they'll continue their stretch of suiting up, with no word having come down of any kind of […]
Cleveland Scratches Collin Sexton Before Thursday’s Game
Cleveland Cavaliers point/shooting guard Collin Sexton (ankle) had been announced as a starter for Thursday's contest against Memphis and had gone through a pre-game workout, but he was scratched at the last possible minute, with Damyean Dotson starting at the point guard spot in his place. Without Sexton and Darius Garland (shoulder) active, Cleveland is […]

Golden State Warriors point guard Stephen Curry (ankle) is dealing with a rolled ankle, but it isn't expected to affect his status for Friday's game versus the Clippers.

De'Aaron Fox, Richaun Holmes Unable To Practice Thursday
Sacramento Kings point guard De'Aaron Fox (hamstring) and power forward/center Richaun Holmes (ankle) were held out of practice Thursday while dealing with respective injuries. Head coach Luke Walton was "hopeful" that he'd have both players back in the lineup for Friday's game against the Raptors, although neither can be fully relied upon heading into the […]
Collin Sexton, Damyean Dotson On Track To Play Thursday
The Cleveland Cavaliers will have point/shooting guard Collin Sexton (ankle) and shooting guard/small forward Damyean Dotson (ankle) on the floor for Thursday's contest, barring a last-second issue, per head coach J.B. Bickerstaff. The duo were deemed questionable earlier in the day, which would have dealt significant blows to an already decimated backcourt heading into Thursday's […]
Boston Lists Jeff Teague As Questionable To Play Friday
Boston Celtics point guard Jeff Teague (ankle) has been battling a sprained left ankle that has kept him out of the team's two most recent contests, but he has been upgraded to questionable for Friday's game against the Wizards. With Marcus Smart back in the fold, he has taken over full-time PG duties, while Payton […]
Tristan Thompson Headlines Quartet Questionable For Friday
Boston Celtics center Tristan Thompson is one of four Celtics who have been deemed questionable to play in Friday's game versus Washington due to the league's COVID-19 protocols. Joining Thompson on the fence of taking the floor are point guard Carsen Edwards, center Robert Williams III and small/power forward Grant Williams. If all of the quartet is […]
Kyrie Irving Will Miss Thursday’s Game
Brooklyn Nets point guard Kyrie Irving (personal) has been deemed out for Thursday's contest against the 76ers due to personal reasons. The absence of Irving will leave Brooklyn strapped for star power, while Kevin Durant remains in quarantine under the league's health and safety protocols. Caris Levert is in line for a significant increase in […]
Collin Sexton Questionable On Thursday
Cleveland Cavaliers guard Collin Sexton (ankle) is listed as questionable for Thursday's game against the Memphis Grizzlies. He tweaked his ankle during Wednesday's loss to the Orlando Magic. The Cavs are already without Darius Garland (shoulder), so losing Sexton would be a significant blow to the team. Cedi Osman and Isaac Okoro would be asked […]
Darius Garland Sitting Out Against Memphis
Cleveland Cavaliers guard Darius Garland (shoulder) has been ruled out for Thursday's game against the Memphis Grizzlies. On Wednesday, it was reported that Garland could miss a week or possibly more time. It sounds like the team plans to re-evaluate him daily and go from there. Cedi Osman, Damyean Dotson (ankle), and Collin Sexton (ankle) […]
Derrick Rose Able To Practice On Thursday
Detroit Pistons guard Derrick Rose (knee) was able to suit up for Thursday's practice. He injured his knee on Wednesday and was unable to finish the game. The fact Rose was able to return to practice here is good news. It's unclear whether or not Rose will suit up against the Phoenix Suns on Friday. […]
Russell Westbrook Could Sit On Friday
Washington Wizards guard Russell Westbrook (finger) is listed as questionable for Friday's game against the Boston Celtics. He suffered a dislocated finger during Wednesday's contest, so there's a chance he sits out the first game of the back-to-back set. Normally, Westbrook sits the first game of two anyway, so it wouldn't be shocking if the […]
Coby White Notches Career-High 36 Points
Chicago Bulls point guard Coby White dropped bombs from all over the place in Wednesday's loss to Sacramento, shooting 15-for-23 from the field en route to a career-high 36 points. His backcourt partner Zach LaVine also had a big game with 32 points on 13-for-24 shooting. White had four treys and he handed out seven […]
LaMelo Ball Registers Nice 16-8-5 Line
Charlotte Hornets point guard LaMelo Ball notched 16 points, eight rebounds, and five assists during a nice all-around performance in Wednesday's win over Atlanta. He shot 6-for-12 from the field and 2-for-5 from three-point range, while coughing up the ball just once in 24 minutes off the bench. Ball has yet to start an NBA […]
John Wall Scores Team-High 28 Points
Houston Rockets point guard John Wall tied his season high with 28 points on Wednesday, shooting 12-for-20 from the field in a loss to Indiana. He missed all three of his attempts from downtown, but Wall looked great driving to the basket and he did an efficient job around the rim. His fantasy line also […]
Malcolm Brogdon Enjoys Career Night Against Rockets
Indiana Pacers point guard Malcolm Brogdon posted his second career high in three games on Wednesday, scoring 35 points on 13-for-25 shooting in a 114-107 win over Houston.

Tyrese Haliburton Will Play Against Chicago
Sacramento Kings guard Tyrese Haliburton (wrist) will play Wednesday against the Chicago Bulls. Haliburton has missed the past two games with a bone bruise in his left wrist. Thankfully, this is not his shooting wrist, but the breakout rookie could still see some shooting regression if the injury still persists. Haliburton has been a great […]
LeBron James, Anthony Davis Questionable For Thursday
Los Angeles Lakers guard/forward LeBron James (ankle) and forward/center Anthony Davis (groin) are questionable to play Thursday against the San Antonio Spurs. James has been a common reoccurrence on the injury report, but has not missed a game this season. Davis, on the other hand, is popping up with a right adductor strain and this […]
Suns-Raptors Game Could Be Postponed
Phoenix Suns point guard Chris Paul and Toronto Raptors point guard Kyle Lowry met on Wednesday to discuss whether or not to move forward with Wednesday night's match up in Phoenix. Given the events going on in Washington, D.C., the Miami Heat and Boston Celtics players walked off the court but returned and the game […]
Markelle Fultz Leaves Game With Serious Knee Injury
Orlando Magic guard Markelle Fultz (knee) left Wednesday night's game against the Cleveland Cavaliers and will not return. Fultz landed on his knee awkwardly and had trouble walking, clutching his left knee almost immediately after landing. Hopefully it looked worse than it actually was, but this could be a serious knee injury for Fultz, who […]
Dennis Smith Jr. And Omari Spellman Active Wednesday
New York Knicks guard Dennis Smith Jr. (quad) and forward Omari Spellman (quad) are active Wednesday against the Utah Jazz. Smith has played in one game this season and will likely make his return Wednesday, but Austin Rivers and Immanuel Quickley have both been playing well off the bench behind Elfrid Payton. As for Spellman, […]
Marcus Smart In, Jeff Teague Out Wednesday Night
The Boston Celtics will be without guard Jeff Teague (ankle) again Wednesday against the Miami Heat, but will get guard Marcus Smart (thumb) back after a one-game absence. Smart's return will likely push Tremont Waters back to the bench who will take a huge hit in fantasy value. Teague, missing his second straight, should give […]
Killian Hayes Suffers Significant Injury
Detroit Pistons guard Killian Hayes (hip) suffered a significant injury during the third quarter of Monday's game against the Milwaukee Bucks. He suffered a labral tear in his hip while attempting to stop a fast break. It's unclear how long he'll be sidelined, but it doesn't sound like he'll be back on the court anytime […]
Darius Garland Could Be Sidelined A Week
Cleveland Cavaliers guard Darius Garland (shoulder) could be sidelined for at least a week or possibly more. However, the team will re-evaluate him daily as he goes through treatment for his shoulder sprain. Damyean Dotson and Cedi Osman are the most obvious candidates to get more playing time until Garland returns. Both could be possible […]
Trey Burke Out With An Illness
Dallas Mavericks guard Trey Burke (illness) has been ruled out for Thursday's game against the Denver Nuggets. He is currently dealing with an illness and it's unclear how much time he's going to miss. Jalen Brunson and Tyrell Terry are expected to see more playing time in Burke's absence. Brunson is the more reliable option […]
Kyrie Irving Scores 29 Points In 30 Minutes
Brooklyn Nets guard Kyrie Irving continued his incredible start to the season in a 130-96 beatdown of the Jazz on Tuesday night. Irving scored 25+ for the sixth time in seven games, adding six assists, five boards, five triples, and three steals in 30 minutes. The 28-year-old was the main man without Kevin Durant (COVID […]
Dennis Smith Jr. Likely To Return For Wednesday’s Game
New York Knicks point guard Dennis Smith Jr. (quad) has been deemed probable to suit up Wednesday against Utah and is on track to end a five-game absence due to persistent quad issues. With Smith likely back on the floor, the Knicks' PG situation involving Elfrid Payton and Immanuel Quickley becomes crowded, zapping all of […]
Dante Exum Faces 1-2-Month Absence Due To Calf Strain
Cleveland Cavaliers point guard Dante Exum (calf) will miss at least the next one or two months due to the calf strain that he sustained during Monday's loss to Orlando. The injury is the latest setback in Exum's career, which has been scuttled by ailments seemingly since he entered the league as the No. 5 […]
LeBron James Receives Green Light To Start Tuesday
Los Angeles Lakers point guard/small forward LeBron James (ankle) has been given the thumbs up to take the floor for Tuesday's contest against Memphis. James will be among the starting five and likely does not face any minutes restrictions as he continues to battle a turned ankle that is at least significant enough that it […]
Rajon Rondo In Line For Extended Absence
Atlanta Hawks point guard Rajon Rondo (knee) is set to miss at least the team's next three contests due to persistent right knee issues that the team hopes he can correct with rest. Brought aboard during the off-season to serve as Trae Young's backup, Rondo has been limited to just two games thus far in […]
