Nikola Jokic, Jamal Murray Active For Saturday

Denver Nuggets center Nikola Jokic (back) and guard Jamal Murray (quad) are both active for the upcoming matchup against the Chicago Bulls on Saturday.

James Harden Could Face Minutes' Restriction

Los Angeles Clippers guard James Harden is close to debuting with his new team.

He will be re-evaluated in two weeks. However, he may miss even more time. Bufkin has played sparingly for the Hawks during the 2023-24 campaign, logging […]

Devin Booker Might Miss Sunday's Game

Phoenix Suns guard Devin Booker (ankle) was held out of Saturday's matinee against the 76ers, the first game of consecutive outings.

Ben Simmons Resting On Saturday

However, the Nets will play the second of consecutive outings on Saturday, so Simmons will get the night off to rest. […]

Luka Doncic Struggles With Turnovers Versus Denver

Dallas Mavericks guard Luka Doncic continued his immense start to the 2023-24 campaign with 34 points, 10 rebounds, and eight assists on Friday against Denver, but he also had nine turnovers in a 125-114 loss.

Jalen Brunson Erupts For 45 Points

New York Knicks point guard Jalen Brunson kicked off the NBA's new in-season tournament with a big 45-point performance Friday against Milwaukee.

Jamal Murray Active Against The Mavericks

Denver Nuggets guard Jamal Murray (quadriceps) is active for Friday's in-season tournament matchup against the Dallas Mavericks. The 26-year-old has appeared in every game this season and has played well, as expected, averaging 18.8 points, 7.8 assists, and 46.2% shooting from behind the arc. Without question, Murray should be in every fantasy lineup imaginable. However, […]

Darius Garland Will Suit Up Against Indiana

Cleveland Cavaliers guard Darius Garland (hamstring) will return on Friday night against the Indiana Pacers. The 23-year-old played in the season opener against the Brooklyn Nets and finished with 15 points. However, a strained hamstring has kept him off the floor ever since. Of course, there's a chance Garland could see fewer minutes than usual, […]

Bradley Beal Will Miss Another Game

Phoenix Suns guard Bradley Beal (back) won't play on Saturday versus the Philadelphia 76ers. The Suns have played five games so far in 2023-24. However, Beal hasn't appeared in any of them because of low back spasms. At this rate, many are starting to wonder if a more significant issue is preventing the former Wizard […]

Devin Booker Questionable Against Philadelphia

Phoenix Suns guard Devin Booker (ankle) is listed as questionable ahead of Saturday's matchup with the Philadelphia 76ers.

Spencer Dinwiddie Active Versus Chicago

Brooklyn Nets guard Spencer Dinwiddie (ankle) will suit up for Friday's game in Chicago. The 30-year-old injured his left ankle in Monday's meeting with the Charlotte Hornets and was ruled out for Wednesday's clash with the Miami Heat. Dinwiddie is usually a must-start fantasy option. However, he's struggled this season, averaging only 11.0 points and […]

Tyrese Haliburton Returning On Friday

Indiana Pacers guard Tyrese Haliburton (ankle) will play on Friday night against Cleveland. The 23-year-old missed Indiana's previous game in Boston because of a sprained ankle, so fantasy managers are thrilled with the latest update.

Gabe Vincent Expected To Miss At Least Two Weeks

Los Angeles Lakers guard Gabe Vincent (knee) will be out for two weeks as he deals with a left knee effusion. The team is going to re-evaluate his status after two weeks and then his return to play options will be assessed. Vincent hasn't been as much of a fantasy contributor as he was with […]

Markelle Fultz Uncertain For Saturday Against Lakers

Orlando Magic guard Markelle Fultz (knee) was a late scratch for the team's game on Thursday and is now questionable for Saturday's game against the Los Angeles Lakers.

Ayo Dosunmu Downgraded To Doubtful On Friday

Chicago Bulls guard Ayo Dosunmu (illness) popped up on the injury report on Friday with an illness and was originally listed as questionable. Since then, he's been downgraded to doubtful and will likely have to remain on the sidelines for their game against the Brooklyn Nets. Jevon Carter and Alex Caruso are likely to see […]

Dennis Smith Jr. Available On Friday

Brooklyn Nets guard Dennis Smith Jr. (hip) will be available for the upcoming matchup against the Chicago Bulls on Friday.

The 25-year-old has averaged 4.3 points, 3.0 rebounds, and 1.3 assists this season, meaning he hasn't done enough to work his way into fantasy lineups. However, assuming Smith is healthy, he could see more chances to produce on […]

Indiana Pacers guard Tyrese Haliburton (ankle) is questionable ahead of Friday's matchup with the Cleveland Cavaliers. The 23-year-old is having another fantastic season, averaging 20.0 points, 12.3 assists, and 1.0 steals in three games.

Brooklyn Nets guard Spencer Dinwiddie (ankle) is questionable for Friday's meeting with the Bulls in Chicago.

Markelle Fultz A Late Scratch On Thursday

Orlando Magic guard Markelle Fultz (knee) is a late scratch from the starting lineup ahead of Thursday's game against the Utah Jazz. This is a bit surprising as Fultz wasn't on the injury report coming into this game. However, the Magic have decided to pull Fultz from the game due to knee swelling. At the […]
