Cleveland Cavaliers point guard Ty Jerome (ankle) will remain on the shelf for Monday's contest against Sacramento. He'll sit out an eighth consecutive game while trying to recover from a right ankle sprain. Jerome's next chance to return comes on Wednesday versus Portland. The 26-year-old has previously done well in limited action as a reserve […]

Kyrie Irving Drops 35 Points Against Pelicans

Dallas Mavericks guard Kyrie Irving had a field day during the team's 136-124 win over the New Orleans Pelicans on Sunday. The All-Star guard finished with 35 points, seven assists, six rebounds, one block, and one turnover while shooting 13-for-20 from the floor and knocking down seven triples in the process.

Tyrese Maxey Scores 50 Points In Win Over Pacers

Philadelphia 76ers guard Tyrese Maxey became the third player this season to drop 50 or more points as he led the team to a 137-126 win over the Indiana Pacers on Sunday. The up-and-coming combo guard finished with exactly 50 points (career high) and chipped in seven rebounds, five assists, three blocks, and two turnovers […]

De'Aaron Fox Considered Doubtful Against Cavaliers

Sacramento Kings guard De'Aaron Fox (ankle) is officially listed as doubtful to play against the Cleveland Cavaliers on Monday night. The star guard has been out since October 29 as he continues to deal with a right ankle sprain, but the fact that he's considered doubtful instead of ruled out already is a good sign […]

Gary Trent Jr. Tagged As Questionable For Monday

Toronto Raptors guard Gary Trent Jr. (foot) has received a questionable tag for the team's game on Monday against the Washington Wizards. He's currently dealing with plantar fasciitis in his right foot which has been known to keep players out for a while as a nagging injury that lasts quite a bit. The good news […]

Damian Lillard Probable Against Chicago

Milwaukee Bucks guard Damian Lillard (calf) is expected to return for Monday's game against the Bulls. The former Blazer missed the last two games because of a calf strain, allowing Cameron Payne to enter the starting lineup. It's hard to say if Lillard will see a cap on his minutes, assuming he gets the green […]

Bradley Beal Will Play On Sunday

Phoenix Suns guard Bradley Beal (back) will be active on Sunday against the Oklahoma City Thunder. He was previously listed as probable, so this doesn't come as a complete surprise. The Suns will need him while Devin Booker (calf) and Eric Gordon (shoulder) have both been ruled out. This will be Beal's third game with […]

Devin Booker, Eric Gordon Downgraded To Out On Sunday

Phoenix Suns guards Devin Booker (calf) and Eric Gordon (shoulder) were both officially downgraded to out on Sunday and will not suit up against the Oklahoma City Thunder. Booker was already considered doubtful, but Gordon was tagged as questionable, so it seemed he had a chance to play at first. While they're on the sidelines, […]

Jaden Ivey Cleared For Action Against Chicago

Detroit Pistons guard Jaden Ivey (illness) will play in Sunday's meeting with the Chicago Bulls. The 21-year-old missed his last four games because of an illness. However, he had been phased out of Monty Williams' rotation before his extended absence, so fantasy managers shouldn't expect a productive showing, even more so with Alec Burks (forearm) […]

Malcolm Brogdon Ruled Out For Sunday

Portland Trail Blazers guard Malcolm Brogdon (hamstring) has been ruled out for Sunday's game against the Los Angeles Lakers. Brogdon was forced to exit early during Wednesday's game due to a left hamstring strain. This injury will force him to miss at least one game, but it wouldn't be shocking to see Brogdon miss additional […]

Jaden Ivey Might Miss Another Game Sunday

Detroit Pistons guard Jaden Ivey (illness) is questionable for Sunday's Central Division showdown with the Chicago Bulls. The 21-year-old is battling a non-COVID-related illness, keeping him off the floor for the team's previous four games. Unfortunately, Ivey has struggled this season, averaging 11.8 points, 2.5 rebounds, and 2.5 assists, all down from his rookie campaign. […]

Alex Caruso Dealing With A Toe Injury

Chicago Bulls guard Alex Caruso (toe) is questionable for Sunday's meeting with the visiting Pistons. He's battling a left toe strain, although he still managed to amass 19 points, three steals, and two blocks in the Bulls' recent overtime loss to the Phoenix Suns. While Caruso hasn't been a consistent fantasy performer in most statistical […]

Terry Rozier Won't Return On Sunday

Charlotte Hornets guard Terry Rozier (groin) is out again on Sunday against the Knicks. There was chatter he'd be back by now. However, he'll miss his fourth straight game on Sunday. As a result, Brandon Miller, averaging 10.7 points and 1.0 steals in three starts, should continue to fill in during Rozier's absence. Unfortunately, the […]

Ben Simmons To Remain Out Versus Washington

Brooklyn Nets guard/forward Ben Simmons (hip) remains out for Sunday's matchup with the Wizards. The former Sixer is battling a hip injury, although there have been conflicting reports regarding the severity of the issue. The Nets got Cameron Johnson (calf) back on Friday night after a lengthy stint on the shelf because of a calf […]

Damian Lillard Out Again On Saturday Night

Milwaukee Bucks guard Damian Lillard (calf) won't play on Saturday night in Orlando. The former Blazers' lingering calf soreness kept him out of the lineup for Thursday's loss to the Indiana Pacers, opening the door for Cameron Payne to enter the starting lineup. Payne finished with seven points, five assists, four boards, and a block […]

Ty Jerome Still Out On Saturday

Cleveland Cavaliers point guard Ty Jerome (ankle) will be sidelined for a seventh consecutive game Saturday versus Golden State. The former Warrior played in the first two games of the season, but he's hurt his right ankle, and it's unclear when Jerome will be available for selection again. His absence isn't a big miss for […]

Bradley Beal Will Play Against The Lakers

Phoenix Suns guard Bradley Beal (back) is officially active for Friday's matchup versus the Los Angeles Lakers. Beal finally made his official debut with the Suns on Wednesday after missing the start of the season with back spasms. He logged only 24 minutes, scoring 13 points while shooting 3-for-12 from the field. The 30-year-old should […]

Scoot Henderson To Miss More Time

Portland Trail Blazers guard Scoot Henderson (ankle) will likely miss at least a few more weeks. The 2023 No. 3 overall pick suffered a bone bruise in his right ankle in a meeting with the Detroit Pistons on November 1, so he hit the injured list after appearing in just five games. Unfortunately, the Blazers' […]

Damian Lillard Questionable Against The Magic

Milwaukee Bucks guard Damian Lillard (calf) may miss Saturday's game in Orlando. The 33-year-old didn't play in Thursday's loss to the Indiana Pacers because of a calf strain. As a result, Cameron Payne entered the starting lineup, finishing with seven points, five assists, four boards, and one block. If Lillard sits again, Payne is worth […]

Draymond Green, Gary Payton II Both Available For Saturday's Game

Golden State Warriors forward and guard Draymond Green and Gary Payton II both participated in practice on Friday and Steve Kerr said they both will be available for their Saturday game against the Cleveland Cavaliers. Green is a little more important when it comes to the fantasy basketball side of things, but Payton could be […]

Ben Simmons Out Again On Friday Versus Celtics

Brooklyn Nets forward Ben Simmons (hip) will miss his second consecutive game due to hip soreness. The Nets will be without Nicolas Claxton (ankle), Cam Thomas (ankle), and now Simmons. For the most part, Simmons has been healthier so far this year than he has been throughout the last few seasons. Since he'll be missing […]

Jaden Ivey Set To Miss Another Game On Friday

Detroit Pistons guard Jaden Ivey (illness) has been ruled out of the team's in-season tournament game against the Philadelphia 76ers on Friday night. His type of illness and timetable to return hasn't been disclosed by the team just yet, so it's unclear how many games Ivey will end up missing. He's missed the last three […]

Markelle Fultz To Play On Thursday

Orlando Magic guard Markelle Fultz (knee) is active ahead of Thursday's game against the Atlanta Hawks. Fultz has been given the green light after missing each of the last three games due to a knee issue. He'll resume his role in the starting five, but it's uncertain if he'll have a minutes limit during his […]

De'Aaron Fox To Sit Out Friday

Sacramento Kings guard De'Aaron Fox (ankle) has been ruled out ahead of Friday's game against the Oklahoma City Thunder. Fox will miss his fifth game in a row as he works his way back from a sprained right ankle. The Kings started Keon Ellis during Wednesday's win over the Portland Trail Blazers. It's possible that […]

Markelle Fultz Questionable For Thursday

Orlando Magic guard Markelle Fultz (knee) is listed as questionable for Thursday's game against Atlanta. He's missed three games but got through practice on Wednesday, which is a good sign. However, Orlando has yet to declare Fultz officially available to play. Fultz averaged 11.0 points, 3.8 rebounds, and 4.1 assists before landing on the shelf […]

Malcolm Brogdon Suffers New Injury Blow

Portland Trail Blazers guard Malcolm Brogdon picked up another injury Wednesday night against Sacramento, exiting the game with a left hamstring strain. The oft-injured guard made a third consecutive start but was limited to only five minutes of action. The team has yet to provide an update on Brogdon's status, but muscle injuries typically take […]

Tyler Herro Expects To Miss "Couple Of Weeks"

Miami Heat guard Tyler Herro (ankle) expects to miss "a couple of weeks" after being limited to only nine minutes in Wednesday's clash with Memphis. Herro sprained his right ankle early in the game, leaving the Heat without their top scorer. Herro has been at the heart of everything for Miami offensively this season and […]
