Cade Cunningham On Track To Return Wednesday
Detroit Pistons guard Cade Cunningham (knee) appears to be on track to return to the lineup Wednesday versus Charlotte, with the team listing him as probable for the game.

Fred Vanvleet Available On Wednesday
Houston Rockets guard Fred VanVleet (back) has been removed from the injury report ahead of Wednesday's game against the Portland Trail Blazers. Vanvleet was held out of Sunday's game due to lower back tightness. Amen Thompson and Cam Whitmore saw increased roles in the rotation with the Rockets missing multiple players. Vanvleet's return should mean […]
Trae Young Ruled Out For Wednesday
Atlanta Hawks guard Trae Young (concussion) has been ruled out ahead of Wednesday's game against the Golden State Warriors. Young is set to miss his second game in a row as he remains in the league's concussion protocol. Dejounte Murray figures to remain in the starting five, with Bogdan Bogdanovic starting alongside him. Both players […]

After moving back to the starting […]
Tyrese Haliburton Questionable Against Denver

LaMelo Ball Active For Monday's Game
Charlotte Hornets guard LaMelo Ball (ankle) will play in Monday's game against the Minnesota Timberwolves. Ball is back after sitting out of Saturday's game due to right ankle soreness.

Cade Cunningham Downgraded To Out
Detroit Pistons guard Cade Cunningham (knee) has been ruled out ahead of Monday's game against the Milwaukee Bucks. As expected, Cunningham will sit out after being listed as doubtful coming into this game due to a left knee strain.

LaMelo Ball Questionable For Monday's Action
Charlotte Hornets guard LaMelo Ball (ankle) is regarded as questionable for Monday's game against Minnesota.

Cody Martin rejoined the starting unit without Ball on Saturday and had a good game defensively but continued to struggle in the […]
De'Anthony Melton Out For Fifth Consecutive Game
Philadelphia 76ers guard De'Anthony Melton (back) will sit out a fifth consecutive game on Monday against San Antonio. Philadelphia head coach Nick Nurse ruled Melton out last Monday for at least a week. He'll have his next chance to suit up on Thursday versus Indiana. Patrick Beverley (illness) has seen more time on the court […]
Patrick Beverley Set To Return On Monday
Philadelphia 76ers point guard Patrick Beverley (illness) is probable for Monday's matchup against the Spurs. Beverley couldn't play Saturday versus Charlotte because of an illness, but it looks likely he will be back on the court against San Antonio. The veteran has received some extra burn recently due to the absence of De'Anthony Melton (back). […]
Cade Cunningham Doubtful Versus Milwaukee
Detroit Pistons guard Cade Cunningham (knee) isn't expected to return for Monday's matchup with the Milwaukee Bucks. The 22-year-old is averaging 22.8 points this season, a career-high. However, he's been out a few weeks after suffering a knee strain during the January 7 encounter with the Denver Nuggets. That said, although Cunningham isn't anticipated to […]
Tyrese Haliburton Won't Play On Sunday
Indiana Pacers guard Tyrese Haliburton (rest) won't play on Sunday versus the Phoenix Suns. He returned from a five-game absence caused by a hamstring issue for Friday's loss to Portland, finishing with 21 points and 17 assists in 35 minutes. But Indiana will be cautious with the 23-year-old, so he'll get the night off to […]
Fred VanVleet Unavailable Against Boston
Houston Rockets guard Fred VanVleet (back) won't play on Sunday against the Celtics. He's battling lower back tightness. But he logged 34 minutes in Saturday's overtime victory over the Utah Jazz, so the team is likely playing it safe on the second night of consecutive outings. With Jabari Smith Jr. (ankle) also out, Jalen Green […]
Trae Young Sidelined Indefinitely
Atlanta Hawks guard Trae Young (head) was diagnosed with a concussion and is sidelined indefinitely. The 25-year-old didn't suit up for Friday's one-point win over the Miami Heat because of an illness. However, he returned for Saturday's meeting with the Cleveland Cavaliers, although he exited midway through the fourth quarter after accidentally getting hit in […]
Jrue Holiday Sidelined Versus Houston
Boston Celtics guard Jrue Holiday (elbow) won't play on Sunday against the Houston Rockets. He's been dealing with a sprained elbow for weeks, so fantasy managers could be without him at times until the issue is resolved. Unfortunately, the former Buck has averaged only 13.1 points this season, a significant step down from the 2022-23 […]
Scoot Henderson Questionable For Sunday
Portland Trail Blazers guard Scoot Henderson (nose) is considered questionable ahead of Sunday's game against the Los Angeles Lakers. The rookie guard suffered a nose contusion during the second quarter of Friday's game. It doesn't sound like something that is going to sideline Henderson in the long term. His absence would mean increased playing time […]
Anfernee Simons Considered Questionable For Sunday
Portland Trail Blazers guard Anfernee Simons (illness) is listed as questionable ahead of Sunday's game against the Los Angeles Lakers. Simons sat out of Friday's game due to an illness, and it appears he's not over it yet. Matisse Thybulle started in his place on Friday and that will likely be the case once again, […]
Andrew Nembhard Tagged As Questionable For Sunday
Indiana Pacers guard Andrew Nembhard (back) is considered questionable ahead of Sunday's game against the Phoenix Suns. Nembhard has missed each of the last two games due to a spine sprain. His status normally isn't overly important, but starting guard Tyrese Haliburton (hamstring) is questionable as well for this game. That being said, T.J. McConnell […]
Tyrese Haliburton Uncertain For Sunday
Indiana Pacers guard Tyrese Haliburton (hamstring) is listed as questionable heading into Sunday's game against the Phoenix Suns. Haliburton made his return to court on Friday after missing nearly two weeks of action. He played 35 minutes in that contest, so possibly the Pacers are just being cautious with their star guard. Andrew Nembhard (spine) […]
Ayo Dosunmu Available Against Memphis
Chicago Bulls guard Ayo Dosunmu (shoulder) will play on Saturday versus the Chicago Bulls. He was listed as probable, so fantasy managers weren't too concerned about his availability against the shorthanded Grizzlies. At any rate, Zach LaVine (ankle) could be out a few weeks, meaning there will be minutes and scoring opportunities up for grabs. […]
Trae Young Good To Go On Saturday
Atlanta Hawks guard Trae Young (illness) will play on Saturday versus the Cleveland Cavaliers. The 25-year-old has been under the weather, and he wasn't in the lineup for Friday's win over the Miami Heat. However, he is good to go, so he can be added back to all fantasy lineups. Young has played well against […]
Trae Young Could Miss Second Consecutive Game
Atlanta Hawks guard Trae Young (illness) is questionable for Saturday's matchup with the Cleveland Cavaliers. Young didn't play in Friday's win over the Miami Heat, opening the door for Dejounte Murray, Bogdan Bogdanovic, and Jalen Johnson to lead the way on the scoring end. But with Bogdanovic also uncertain for Saturday's game because of right […]
LaMelo Ball Questionable On Saturday Night
Charlotte Hornets guard LaMelo Ball (ankle) is questionable for Saturday's game versus the visiting 76ers. The Hornets were in action on Friday night against the San Antonio Spurs, with Ball logging 32 minutes and finishing with 28 points. But the 22-year-old is dealing with soreness in his right ankle, the same one he injured at […]
Ayo Dosunmu On Track To Play Saturday
Chicago Bulls guard Ayo Dosunmu (shoulder) has been listed as probable for Saturday's meeting with Memphis. He's having trouble with his left shoulder and was forced to exit Monday's game against Cleveland early. However, Dosunmu had no trouble putting in a 32-minute shift against Toronto on Thursday, so the injury apparently isn't too serious. The […]
Tyrese Haliburton Officially Active On Friday
Indiana Pacers guard Tyrese Haliburton (hamstring) is officially active for Friday's meeting with the Portland Trail Blazers. The 23-year-old tweaked his hamstring during the January 8 matchup against the Boston Celtics, keeping him out of the lineup for Indiana's last five contests. Haliburton had indicated on Friday that he'd be good to go. However, things […]
Cade Cunningham Expected To Return In A Week
Detroit Pistons guard Cade Cunningham (knee) is expected to return to action in five to seven days after being cleared for basketball activities, the team announced on Friday.

Jaime Jaquez Jr. Not Expected To Play Friday
Miami Heat forward Jaime Jaquez Jr. (groin) is listed as doubtful on the NBA Injury Report, and he isn't expected to make his return on Friday against the Hawks. The 22-year-old rookie has missed each of the last two games with this injury and will likely miss a third. When he was healthy, the rookie […]
Trae Young Out With Illness Friday
Atlanta Hawks point guard Trae Young (illness) will miss the team's Friday matchup with the Heat in Miami.
