Derrick Rose Remains Absent On Monday

Memphis Grizzlies point guard Derrick Rose (back) will sit out a third consecutive game on Monday versus the Nets. The veteran is nursing a lower back problem. With another backcourt option unavailable, the Grizzlies have turned to Jordan Goodwin, who has logged 30-plus minutes in three consecutive games. It's been a struggle for him, as […]

Fantasy Basketball Early-Week Streamers: Week 19

Happy Monday, Fantasy Basketball Heads! My colleague Lance has been covering early-week streamers for you this season, but I am filling in for him this week. I am going to mess with the format a little and focus on which players I would stream on each specific day - Monday AND Tuesday (with a second […]

Jalen Brunson Has a Knee Contusion

New York Knicks guard Jalen Brunson (knee) was injured in Sunday night's win over the Cleveland Cavaliers. Playing less than one minute, the former Villanova Wildcat exited with what appeared to be a severe left knee injury. However, it seems the Knicks dodged a bullet, with head coach Tom Thibodeau reporting that X-rays were negative. […]

Jordan Clarkson Off The Injury Report

Utah Jazz guard Jordan Clarkson (illness) isn't listed on the NBA's official injury report heading toward Monday's contest against the Washington Wizards. The veteran wasn't feeling well and didn't suit up on Saturday against the Miami Heat, allowing Talen Horton-Tucker to get more involved. Clarkson combined for just nine points in his previous two games, […]

Jalen Brunson Helped To Locker Room With Leg Injury

New York Knicks guard Jalen Brunson (leg) suffered an apparent non-contact injury to his leg in the opening minutes of their Sunday night game against the Cleveland Cavaliers. Based on the replays, it looked to be a knee injury, which would make the non-contact part of it even scarier if that's the case. The injury […]

Ben Simmons Questionable Against Grizzlies On Monday

Brooklyn Nets forward Ben Simmons (back) remains on the injury report but was at least listed as questionable while he still suffers from nerve impingement in his lower back. Simmons has been out for the last three games after appearing in three consecutive games before that. The 27-year-old has appeared in 15 total games so […]

Bradley Beal Expected To Play On Sunday

Phoenix Suns guard Bradley Beal (hamstring) is listed as probable for their game against the Oklahoma City Thunder. The star combo guard played in their last game on Saturday against the Houston Rockets but he was only able to play 20 minutes. In that time, he registered just seven points, two rebounds, two assists, and […]

De'Aaron Fox Gets In Full Practice Session

Sacramento Kings guard De'Aaron Fox (knee) was a full participant during Sunday's practice session. Fox has missed two straight games and is currently considered questionable for Monday's game versus the Chicago Bulls. Davion Mitchell and Keon Ellis each started a game in the absence of Fox. Mitchell did little with his opportunity, but Ellis made […]

Devin Booker Officially Out Against OKC

Phoenix Suns guard Devin Booker (ankle) won't play on Sunday versus OKC. He injured his ankle and exited Saturday's loss to the Houston Rockets and didn't return, so most had already planned to be without him. Although X-rays were negative, fantasy managers should expect the 27-year-old to miss at least a few games. Luckily for […]

Stephen Curry Expected To Suit Up Versus Boston

Golden State Warriors guard Stephen Curry (knee) is expected to face the Celtics on Sunday. The 35-year-old logged at least 30 minutes in each game of the Warriors' current road trip, so many had assumed he'd sit this one out. However, barring a setback during warmups, he'll be out there. While Curry's presumed availability should […]

R.J. Hampton Signing 10-Day Deal With Washington

Guard R.J. Hampton has agreed to a 10-day contract with the Washington Wizards. The 2020 No. 24 overall pick has bounced around since entering the league, suiting up for the Nuggets, Magic, Pistons, and Heat. He appeared in eight games for Miami this season. However, Hampton averaged just 1.3 points and 1.0 assists before he […]

Jamal Murray Cleared For Saturday's Game

Denver Nuggets guard Jamal Murray (ankle) is available ahead of Saturday's game against the Los Angeles Lakers. Murray has been dealing with an ankle issue but was cleared to play after going through his pregame routine. Reggie Jackson is expected to remain on the bench and won't have great streaming appeal there. Fellow guard Kentavious […]

Donovan Mitchell Questionable Versus The Knicks

Cleveland Cavaliers guard Donovan Mitchell (knee) is questionable for Sunday's game against the visiting Knicks. Mitchell is just dealing with knee soreness, so it doesn't appear he is in line to miss an extended period. However, it's still not an ideal scenario for fantasy managers. The 27-year-old wasn't in the lineup on Friday night versus […]

Stephen Curry On The Injury Report For Sunday

Golden State Warriors guard Stephen Curry (knee) is considered questionable for Sunday's game in Boston. The veteran is apparently battling a knee issue. However, he logged at least 30 minutes in back-to-back contests on Thursday and Friday, so the team will understandably be cautious with him for the last game of their road trip. Nonetheless, […]

Ben Simmons A Question Mark For Saturday

Brooklyn Nets guard/forward Ben Simmons (leg) is questionable to face the Hawks on Saturday. He's carrying a sore left leg and might be unavailable for a third consecutive contest. Dennis Schroder has had a good spell in the starting unit with Simmons unavailable. Brooklyn already faced Atlanta on Thursday, and Schroder put in a very […]

Seth Curry Tweaks Ankle In Rare Start

Charlotte Hornets guard Seth Curry was forced to an early exit on Friday versus Philadelphia due to a right ankle sprain. Making only his fourth start of the season, the veteran sniper logged 23 minutes before leaving. He had five points with two rebounds, two assists, and one steal. Curry was filling in for Brandon […]

Russell Westbrook Out Indefinitely With Fractured Hand

Los Angeles Clippers point guard Russell Westbrook will be out indefinitely after fracturing his left hand in Friday's 140-115 win over Washington. The former MVP managed to log 10 minutes in the contest, registering six points and an assist with 2-for-3 shooting. Westbrook has been one of the most productive bench players in the league […]

Jamal Murray Questionable Saturday For Nuggets

Denver Nuggets guard Jamal Murray (ankle) suffered a sprained ankle on Thursday against the Miami Heat. The Nuggets have been cautious with Murray as he dealt with several leg injuries this season. He's sat out 16 games so far. 33-year-old point guard Reggie Jackson will see more minutes if Murray cannot suit up. Denver's starting […]

Alex Caruso Available Versus The Bucks

Chicago Bulls guard Alex Caruso (knee) will play on Friday against the Bucks. He was listed as questionable heading into the Central Division clash because of a hamstring strain. However, the 30-year-old is good to go. Caruso averaged eight points in February, down from January. However, he made up for it by getting more active […]

De'Aaron Fox Ruled Out Friday

Sacramento Kings guard De'Aaron Fox (knee) is unavailable Friday against Minnesota. On Monday night, he suffered a knee contusion in a loss to Miami, and he didn't play in Wednesday's contest against Denver. Chris Duarte scored 18 points in 26 minutes, meaning he will see plenty of playing time and attention from fantasy managers with […]

Luka Doncic Will Play Versus Boston

Dallas Mavericks guard Luka Doncic (ankle, nose) is good to go on Friday night versus the Celtics. The multi-time All-Star has made routine appearances on the injury report of late because of a broken nose. However, he is now battling an ankle issue, so he was in danger of missing this one. Fortunately for fantasy […]

Tyler Herro Could Miss Fourth Consecutive Game

Miami Heat guard Tyler Herro (foot) has officially been tagged as questionable for their Saturday game against the Utah Jazz. The star combo guard has missed the team's last three games in a row while he deals with medial tendinitis in his right foot. Herro has already missed 20 games so far this year, so […]

Derrick Rose Sidelined On Friday Against Trail Blazers

Memphis Grizzlies guard Derrick Rose (back) has been ruled out of the Friday night matchup with the Portland Trail Blazers due to back soreness. The veteran point guard has only appeared in 24 games so far this year and hasn't seen consistent minutes when he is available. He was able to play in the last […]

Scoot Henderson Ruled Out Again On Friday

Portland Trail Blazers guard Scoot Henderson (groin) will be sidelined again on Friday after being officially ruled out for the fourth consecutive game. The rookie point guard will now have missed 15 games so far this season, which means he can only miss two more games and still be eligible for regular-season awards. To make […]

LaMelo Ball's Timeline To Return Is Still Unclear

Charlotte Hornets guard LaMelo Ball (ankle) hasn't appeared in a game since January 26 due to what the team is calling tendinopathy in his right ankle. Head coach Steve Clifford was asked about Ball's progress over the last couple of weeks and he said, "It's hard to tell." He also added that Ball has been […]

Jamal Murray Could Miss Contest Against Lakers

Denver Nuggets guard Jamal Murray (ankle) suffered a sprained ankle on Thursday during the second quarter of their game against the Miami Heat. He was able to walk off the floor under his own power but showed a noticeable limp. The team has been using a cautious approach with Murray due to the various leg […]

Marcus Sasser Ruled Out Again On Friday

Detroit Pistons guard Marcus Sasser (knee) has been ruled out for his fourth consecutive game ahead of their Friday night matchup against the Cleveland Cavaliers. The rookie is dealing with a knee contusion right now and it's been severe enough to hold him out for over a week now. His minutes have been inconsistent already, […]

De'Aaron Fox Questionable For Friday Night

Sacramento Kings guard De'Aaron Fox (knee) is questionable heading into Friday's matchup with Minnesota. He suffered a knee contusion on Monday night in the loss to Miami and was ruled out before Wednesday's game against the Nuggets. Davion Mitchell got the start in that one. However, he had just five points, three assists, and a […]

Jalen Brunson Intends To Play On Thursday

New York Knicks point guard Jalen Brunson (neck) will warm up with the intention to play Thursday against Golden State. The first-year All-Star missed Tuesday's encounter with New Orleans but looks ready to make a quick return. Brunson's comeback would push Miles McBride back to the bench, where he will have minimal fantasy value. Brunson […]

Luka Doncic In Danger Of Missing Friday's Game

Dallas Mavericks point guard Luka Doncic (ankle) has been listed as questionable for Friday's intriguing matchup against Boston. He's picked up a left ankle sprain after posting a big 30-point triple-double on his 25th birthday Wednesday night. Doncic has been a warrior for the Mavericks, missing only one of the last 18 contests. If Doncic […]
