Craig Porter Jr. Likely To Return On Saturday

Cleveland Cavaliers point guard Craig Porter Jr. (illness) will likely be back in the lineup on Saturday against the Lakers, as the team has listed him as probable for the matchup. The young guard has been battling an illness lately, missing four games. Porter Jr., who went undrafted last summer out of Wichita State, has […]

Ty Jerome Remains On The Shelf

Cleveland Cavaliers point guard Ty Jerome (ankle) will remain unavailable for Saturday's contest against the Lakers. He underwent arthroscopic surgery on his right ankle in January, and it's unclear when Jerome will be game-ready again. The 26-year-old has made only two appearances for the Cavaliers since signing as a free agent last offseason, logging 15 […]

Dennis Smith Jr. Considered Doubtful For Saturday

Brooklyn Nets guard Dennis Smith Jr. (hip) is listed as doubtful for Saturday's contest against the Detroit Pistons. He will likely miss his third straight game because of a right hip injury. Smith Jr. last appeared on March 31 against the Los Angeles Lakers, but he only took the court for four minutes after appearing […]

Gary Payton II Cleared To Face Dallas

Golden State Warriors guard Gary Payton II (ankle) will play on Friday against the Mavericks. He was listed on the injury report because of a sore left ankle. Fortunately, the 31-year-old is good to go. Under normal circumstances, Payton wouldn't have much upside for DFS managers. However, he's worth rostering in deep DFS contests, considering […]

Jamal Murray Uncertain To Play Against Atlanta

Denver Nuggets guard Jamal Murray (knee) is listed as questionable to play in Saturday's game against the Atlanta Hawks. The star guard has not suited up in the past seven games, and there is a chance he could miss another contest as he is recovering from right knee inflammation. With the regular season winding down, […]

Jalen Brunson Available On Friday

New York Knicks guard Jalen Brunson (foot) will play on Friday against the Bulls. He has a sore right foot, something that's bothered him throughout the 2023-24 campaign. But the Knicks need him out there if the team hopes to gain ground in the Eastern Conference moving toward the postseason. With that in mind, Brunson […]

Tyler Herro Officially Available Friday

Miami Heat guard Tyler Herro (foot) will return to action on Friday against Houston. After missing 20 games with a foot problem, Herro received a questionable tag entering Friday, and Miami has now upgraded him to available. Herro could be limited following his long absence, but he's among the Heat's main offensive weapons and should […]

Shai Gilgeous-Alexander Also Out On Sunday

Oklahoma City Thunder guard Shai Gilgeous-Alexander (quadriceps) has already been ruled out for Friday's matchup with the Celtics. However, head coach Mark Daigneault stated the MVP candidate won't play for the remainder of the Thunder's road trip, which concludes on Sunday in Indiana. Daigneault added that Gilgeous-Alexander returned to Oklahoma City for conditioning, so it […]

Luka Doncic Won't Play Against Golden State

Dallas Mavericks point guard Luka Doncic (knee) has been ruled out for Friday's tilt against the Warriors. He was already unlikely to play after picking up a doubtful tag due to a sore right knee. There's hope Dallas' MVP candidate can return on Sunday versus Houston. Kyrie Irving should be a usage monster without Doncic, […]

Patrick Beverley Won't Play Against Toronto

Milwaukee Bucks point guard Patrick Beverley (wrist) will miss a second consecutive contest on Friday against Toronto. The team has downgraded him from doubtful to out. Pat Connaughton started in Beverley's place on Wednesday against Memphis, but Damian Lillard (groin) is back in the lineup on Friday, meaning Connaughton will only have minimal fantasy value. […]

Vasilije Micic Returning From One-Game Absence

Charlotte Hornets point guard Vasilije Micic (shoulder) will rejoin the lineup for Friday's tilt against Orlando. He was unavailable for Wednesday's meeting with Portland due to a shoulder problem. Micic has played well for the Hornets, posting 11.5 points and 6.3 assists in 28.1 minutes. His work includes a couple of 20-point performances against the […]

Tyrese Maxey Questionable For Saturday

Philadelphia 76ers point guard Tyrese Maxey (hip) is questionable for Saturday's matchup with the Memphis Grizzlies due to left hip tightness. After missing two consecutive contests, the 23-year-old returned Thursday to suit up against Miami. He seemed unfazed by the injury posting 37 points, 11 assists, nine rebounds, a steal and a block in 41 […]

Luka Doncic Downgraded To Doubtful Against Golden State Friday

Dallas Mavericks point guard Luka Doncic (knee) is now doubtful for Friday's contest against the Golden State Warriors. Doncic is still dealing with right knee soreness but has played in nine straight games. If the 25-year-old cannot suit up, Tim Hardaway, Jaden Hardy, and Dante Exum will likely see an uptick in minutes. Fantasy managers […]

Gary Payton II May Not Play Friday

Golden State Warriors guard Gary Payton II (ankle) has been listed as questionable on Friday against the Dallas Mavericks due to left ankle soreness. The 31-year-old has enjoyed the healthiest part of his season while missing only two games since the beginning of February. Payton hasn't seen heavy minutes this year, however, so his fantasy […]

Damian Lillard Set To Return On Friday

Milwaukee Bucks guard Damian Lillard (groin) has been deemed available on Friday night and will make his return from a three-game absence due to an adductor strain. In that span, the Bucks went 1-2 without their superstar point guard. In his first game back, Lillard gets a good matchup against the Toronto Raptors, which makes […]

Tyler Herro Could Return Friday Versus Houston

Miami Heat guard Tyler Herro (foot) hasn't played since February 23 due to a foot injury but has received a questionable tag for their game against the Houston Rockets on Friday. According to Shams Charania, he has a chance to return but there isn't a firm decision on his status just yet. He did travel […]

Jose Alvarado Still Out On Friday Night

New Orleans Pelicans guard Jose Alvarado (oblique) won't play on Friday versus San Antonio, marking his fifth consecutive absence. There's a chance the 25-year-old could miss at least a few more games moving ahead. Fortunately, the Pelicans recently got Dyson Daniels back in the lineup. Daniels had his best game since returning from a lengthy […]

Vasilije Micic Probable Versus Orlando

Charlotte Hornets guard Vasilije Micic (shoulder) is expected to play against the Magic on Friday night. He's carried an injury designation over the last few games but has mostly played through it. However, the 30-year-old finally got a game off, sitting out Wednesday's loss to the Portland Trail Blazers. At any rate, Micic has played […]

Anfernee Simons Ruled Out For Friday

Portland Trail Blazers guard Anfernee Simons (knee) has been ruled out for Friday's game against the Washington Wizards. Simons will miss his seventh consecutive game thanks to his left knee still limiting him. Portland's season ending in disappointment could see them be cautious and sit down Simons for the final week, but he certainly made […]

Tyus Jones Remains Out For Friday

Washington Wizards point guard Tyus Jones (back) will remain out of the lineup against the Trail Blazers on Friday. This will mark his 12th consecutive absence due to a back problem and there is no timetable for his return. Jones' injury has helped Jordan Poole get back into the first unit, and he should get […]

Patrick Beverley Listed As Questionable For Friday

Milwaukee Bucks point guard Patrick Beverley (ankle) is listed as questionable for Friday's game against the Toronto Raptors. He missed Wednesday's tilt due to an ankle sprain and is in danger of missing a second consecutive contest. If the 35-year-old veteran guard is able to suit up, Pat Connaughton could see more time on the […]

Damian Lillard Questionable To Play Against Toronto

Milwaukee Bucks guard Damian Lillard (adductor) is listed as questionable for Friday's game because of a right adductor strain. The star guard missed the previous three games and is in danger of missing his match-up with the Toronto Raptors. The Bucks are currently sitting in second place in the Eastern Conference, but only have a […]

Mike Conley Removed From Injury Report

Minnesota Timberwolves guard Mike Conley (rest) has been removed from the injury report ahead of Friday's game against the Phoenix Suns. The veteran guard was held out of Wednesday's game for rest purposes. However, Conley will return on Friday and is expected to have his normal role in the rotation. The Wolves are likely just […]

Gary Payton II Available On Thursday

Golden State Warriors guard Gary Payton II (ankle) is available ahead of Thursday's game against the Houston Rockets. As expected, Payton will play after being listed as probable coming into this game. Payton should resume his normal role off the bench for Golden State. He normally plays minutes in the teens and doesn't offer enough […]

Cade Cunningham Won't Play Friday

Detroit Pistons guard Cade Cunningham (knee) has been ruled out ahead of Friday's game against the Memphis Grizzlies. Cunningham was a late scratch on Wednesday and will sit out Friday's game as well. The expectation is that Malachi Flynn will start again with Cunningham on the bench. He dropped 50 points during his last game. […]

Tyrese Maxey Returns To Philadelphia Lineup On Thursday

Philadelphia 76ers guard Tyrese Maxey (hip) will rejoin the action on Thursday versus Miami. He has shaken off a questionable tag and will be back after missing two games with a hip problem. Maxey has carried a heavy load in previous matchups against the Heat in 2023-24, averaging 24.0 points, 5.7 rebounds, and 7.3 assists […]

Derrick White Considered Questionable For Friday

Boston Celtics guard Derrick White (back) has been listed as questionable for Friday's matchup against the Kings. He's on the injury report with a lower back contusion. The versatile guard has been quite durable for Boston and would be out for only the seventh time this season if he doesn't feel well enough to play. […]

Devin Booker Serves Up 40 Points Against Cleveland

Phoenix Suns guard/forward Devin Booker remained hot in Wednesday's matchup against Cleveland, producing 40 points on 13-for-25 shooting in a 122-101 win. He hit five of his nine attempts from outside and missed a double-double by only two assists while collecting one rebound and one steal in 37 minutes of playing time. Booker has now […]

Malachi Flynn Explodes For 50 Points Off Pistons Bench

Detroit Pistons guard Malachi Flynn came out of nowhere to put up 50 points in Wednesday's 121-113 loss to Atlanta. He logged 34 minutes off the bench and became the 10th player in the NBA this season with a 50-point game by shooting 18-for-25 from the field with a 5-for-9 effort from outside. Flynn's career […]

De'Anthony Melton Remains Sidelined On Thursday

Philadelphia 76ers guard De'Anthony Melton (back) will miss a 19th consecutive contest on Thursday against Miami. He continues to deal with a lumbar spine injury and hasn't played since Feb. 27. Melton's absence has left Philadelphia without a versatile guard who can impact games in many ways. There's no set timeline for Melton's return, but […]
