Jordan Clarkson Remains Out On Saturday

Utah Jazz guard Jordan Clarkson (foot) will remain sidelined for Saturday's game versus the Suns. The veteran has had a decent 2024-25 campaign, averaging 16.0 points and 3.8 assists. But he's already missed 14 games this season, including the previous three contests because of Plantar Fasciitis in his left foot. Utah could have used him […]

Trae Young Probable Versus Houston

Atlanta Hawks guard Trae Young (Achilles) is expected to suit up on Saturday against Houston. The right Achilles Tendinitis is nothing new, so he should be out there barring a setback. The 26-year-old hasn't had his most efficient season, averaging 22.5 points and shooting 33.9% from behind the arc. Fortunately, he's at least made up […]

Tyrese Haliburton Upgraded To Available

Indiana Pacers point guard Tyrese Haliburton (ankle) will be in the lineup on Friday against Golden State. He has been upgraded from questionable to available. Haliburton will look to bag a second consecutive double-double on Friday against a depleted Warriors team. Indiana is considered an 11-point favorite for the contest, meaning there is a high […]

Damian Lillard Available For Friday

Eric Nehm of The Athletic reports that Milwaukee Bucks guard Damian Lillard (calf) will play against the Orlando Magic on Friday despite dealing with a left knee contusion. The 34-year-old veteran won't have any restrictions placed on him, as he collected 26 points, five rebounds, and eight assists across 35 minutes in the Bucks' 121-105 win over […]

Dejounte Murray Active On Friday

New Orleans Pelicans guard Dejounte Murray (elbow, shin) will play on Friday against Philadelphia. Murray was initially regarded as questionable for the game due to shin and elbow ailments. With Zion Williamson (suspension) and Trey Murphy III (ankle) out of action, Murray is expected to carry the Pelicans offense with CJ McCollum. The versatile guard […]

Kyle Lowry Remains Out On Friday

Philadelphia 76ers guard Kyle Lowry (hip) will miss his third straight game on Friday against the New Orleans Pelicans due to soreness in his right hip. Lowry's next opportunity to return to the floor is versus the Magic on Sunday. While the 38-year-old is sidelined, the Sixers must lean heavily on Tyrese Maxey. Reggie Jackson, Eric Gordon, and Jeff […]

De'Aaron Fox Remains Out On Friday

Sacramento Kings guard De'Aaron Fox (glute) has been ruled out for a third consecutive game and will miss Friday's matchup against the Boston Celtics. The star point guard is still plagued by a right glute contusion and there hasn't been any official word on his return. Keon Ellis has taken over the spot in the […]

Stephen Curry Sidelined On Friday For Injury Management

Golden State Warriors guard Stephen Curry (knee) will miss Friday's game against the Indiana Pacers while the team manages his knee injury. The superstar sharpshooter does get some back-to-back games off, so that the team can maximize his health throughout the season, and this is one of those cases. With the rest of the backcourt […]

Dejounte Murray Uncertain To Suit Up On Friday

New Orleans Pelicans guard Dejounte Murray (elbow/shin) is considered questionable for Friday's game against the Philadelphia 76ers. If he's able to play, he should receive a sizeable fantasy boost with Trey Murphy III (ankle), Herbert Jones (shoulder), and Brandon Ingram (ankle) all ruled out. With that being said, if he's downgraded to out, CJ McCollum […]

Tyrese Haliburton Could Miss Friday's Game Against Warriors

Indiana Pacers guard Tyrese Haliburton (ankle) drew a questionable tag for Friday's game against the Golden State Warriors while dealing with a right ankle sprain. The star point guard hasn't missed a game yet this season, so this could be his first absence through the first 39 games. If he's unable to suit up, Andrew […]

Jalen Suggs Remains Sidelined On Friday Against Bucks

Orlando Magic guard Jalen Suggs (back) has been ruled out for the fourth consecutive game while he deals with a lower back strain. There hasn't been any official word on when he may return, so fantasy managers will likely have to take his status day by day. In the meantime, Cole Anthony and Kentavious Caldwell-Pope […]

Ja Morant Back On Thursday Night

Memphis Grizzlies guard Ja Morant (shoulder) will play in Thursday's game against the Rockets. The 25-year-old sustained an AC joint sprain nearly a few weeks ago. However, his time on the shelf will end after only five games. While Morant's production is down this season, he remains a must-start in any fantasy format. But his […]

Davion Mitchell Available Thursday

Toronto Raptors guard Davion Mitchell (calf) will be active against Cleveland on Thursday. He has been upgraded from probable to available. Mitchell has not been part of the regular rotation lately but might have a role on Thursday due to the absences of Ochai Agbaji (back) and Bruce Brown (knee). However, it's unlikely that Mitchell […]

Dennis Schroder Available Versus Pistons

Golden State Warriors guard Dennis Schroder (hip) will be in the lineup against Detroit on Thursday. He was initially iffy for the contest due to a hip contusion, but the Warriors have upgraded him from questionable to available. Schroder's fantasy stock has taken a bad blow with his trade to Golden State, as he's been […]

Stephen Curry Upgraded To Available Thursday

Golden State Warriors point guard Stephen Curry (knee) will play on Thursday against Detroit. He landed on the initial injury report with a questionable tag, but Golden State has now upgraded its main man to available. Curry has opened 2025 in excellent form, averaging 29.0 points with 60.6 shooting from three-point range. The Pistons typically […]

Damian Lillard Likely Available For Friday

Milwaukee Bucks guard Damian Lillard (calf) will likely play against the Orlando Magic on Friday despite dealing with a left knee contusion. If he does suit up, the 34-year-old won't have any restrictions placed on him, as he posted 26 points, five rebounds, and eight assists across 35 minutes in the Bucks' 121-105 win over the […]

Jordan Clarkson Listed As Out For Thursday's Game Against Miami

Utah Jazz point guard Jordan Clarkson (foot) will not suit up for Thursday's contest against the Miami Heat. The last time he played, Clarkson had to leave the court due to a foot injury and played only three minutes against the Miami Heat on January 4th. Later in the game, the Jazz announced that Clarkson […]

Thursday's Lakers-Hornets Game Postponed

According to Shams Charania of ESPN, the NBA is postponing Thursday night's game between the Hornets and the Lakers due to the tragic wildfires raging in the Los Angeles area. The game was scheduled to take place at Crypto.com Arena but will be postponed to an unspecified later date. Charania also reports that the fire […]

Dennis Schroder Uncertain To Play Thursday Night

Golden State Warriors guard Dennis Schroder (hip) was listed as questionable for Thursday's road game in Detroit. Stephen Curry (knee) and Moses Moody (knee) are also questionable, so even if Schroder is available, his role is uncertain. Since joining the Warriors, Schroder has not missed a game, starting 11 straight games for Golden State but […]

Moses Moody Questionable Thursday Against Detroit

Golden State Warriors guard Moses Moody (knee) is one of several members of the Warriors' backcourt rotation uncertain for their Thursday night matchup with the Pistons. Moody is joined on the injury report by Stephen Curry (knee) and Dennis Schroder (hip), who like Moody are questionable while Brandin Podziemski (abdomen) will miss a sixth straight […]

Jalen Suggs Diagnosed With Lower-Back Strain

Orlando Magic guard Jalen Suggs went through further evaluation by the team, and they confirmed that he is dealing with a low back strain. Suggs has missed Orlando's last two games and was already ruled out for Thursday's matchup. He'll be sidelined indefinitely while undergoing treatment, and how he responds to that treatment will ultimately […]

Keyonte George To Miss A Third Consecutive Game

Utah Jazz guard Keyonte George (heel) will not be available for Thursday's clash against Miami. He'll be out for a third straight game due to inflammation in his left heel. The Jazz backcourt is also without Jordan Clarkson (foot), opening up a lot of additional playing time for the likes of Collin Sexton and Isaiah […]

Trae Young Probable Thursday

Atlanta Hawks point guard Trae Young (Achilles) continues to carry a probable tag on the injury report ahead of Thursday's encounter with Phoenix. It's safe to assume he will be good to go for his ninth consecutive appearance. Young is fresh off his third 20-20 game of the season, which included an incredible half-court game-winning […]

Ja Morant Questionable For Thursday

Memphis Grizzlies point guard Ja Morant (shoulder) is questionable for Thursday's matchup against Houston. He may be sidelined for a sixth straight game due to a shoulder injury. Scotty Pippen Jr. will continue to have additional fantasy value until Morant returns. The 24-year-old has started each of the last five games without Morant, averaging 11.8 […]

Stephen Curry Questionable Thursday

Golden State Warriors point guard Stephen Curry (knee) is questionable for Thursday's game against Detroit. He's dealing with inflammation in his left knee and may be out for the second time in four games. Curry has sat out a game in each of the last three back-to-back situations for the Warriors, so we likely won't […]

Damian Lillard Upgraded To Available On Wednesday

Milwaukee Bucks guard Damian Lillard (calf) has been upgraded to available ahead of Wednesday's game against the San Antonio Spurs. The superstar guard was a late addition to the injury report due to a left calf contusion. Despite that, Lillard is available, but he might be on a minutes limit. It wouldn't be shocking to […]

Ben Simmons Iffy For Wednesday

Brooklyn Nets guard/center Ben Simmons (back) has been listed as questionable for Wednesday's game against Detroit. Simmons is managing a lower back problem and might be absent for a fourth consecutive game. Reece Beekman has entered the rotation following Simmons' exit from the lineup, with Keon Johnson, Ziaire Williams, and Tyrese Martin also benefiting from […]

D'Angelo Russell To Miss Second Straight Game

Brooklyn Nets point guard D'Angelo Russell (shin) will remain out on Wednesday against Detroit. He suffered a right shin contusion against Philadelphia last weekend, ending his promising start in Brooklyn. The former Laker averaged a double-double through his first couple of outings with the Nets. Russell's absence has given a further boost to Keon Johnson, […]
