Jordan Clarkson Picks Up Questionable Tag For Monday

Utah Jazz guard Jordan Clarkson (illness) popped up on the injury report ahead of their Monday night contest against the New Orleans Pelicans.

Jordan Poole Uncertain To Play Against Pistons

Washington Wizards guard Jordan Poole (ankle) has officially been tagged as questionable for Monday night's game against the Detroit Pistons. The 24-year-old was a late scratch on Saturday as he picked up an ankle sprain in their game prior on Friday. Poole hasn't been as good as fantasy managers have hoped so far this season, […]

LaMelo Ball Leaves With Ankle Sprain On Sunday

Charlotte Hornets guard LaMelo Ball (ankle) left Sunday night's game against the Orlando Magic in the second quarter due to a right ankle sprain and the team said that he will not return. Brandon Miller started the second half with Ball sidelined. This could be worrisome news since ankle sprains and injuries were what kept […]

Darius Garland Will Suit Up On Sunday

Cleveland Cavaliers guard Darius Garland (neck) was originally listed as questionable when he left their last game on Saturday due to a neck issue. He has since been upgraded to active and will join the starting five as usual. Isaac Okoro and Craig Porter Jr. will likely return to their normal workloads off of the […]

Terry Rozier Expected To Return On Sunday

Charlotte Hornets guard Terry Rozier (groin) is expected to return for Sunday's meeting with the Orlando Magic.

However, with Miles Bridges, LaMelo Ball, and […]

Jordan Poole Ruled Out Late On Saturday Night

Washington Wizards guard Jordan Poole (ankle) was a late scratch for Saturday's loss to the Atlanta Hawks. Fantasy managers were surprised to see him listed as out right around lock time. However, head coach Wes Unseld Jr. reported that the former Warrior "tweaked" his left ankle during pregame warm-ups, allowing Corey Kispert to take his […]

Darius Garland Doesn't Return Against The Lakers

Cleveland Cavaliers guard Darius Garland (neck) finished Saturday's matchup against the Lakers with six points, three assists, and one steal. Unfortunately, he didn't last long in this one, logging just 14 minutes before exiting with a neck strain. The injury isn't anything new, considering Garland has already missed time this season because of it. However, […]

Dru Smith Done For The Year

Miami Heat guard Dru Smith (knee) will miss the remainder of the 2023-24 campaign. An MRI confirmed a third-degree ACL sprain for the 25-year-old, which was enough to keep him on the shelf. Smith had played sparingly throughout the season, averaging 4.3 points and 1.0 steals in nine games, so his absence isn't expected to […]

Dennis Smith Jr. Remains Out On Saturday

Brooklyn Nets guard Dennis Smith Jr. (back) will remain out for Saturday's meeting with the Miami Heat. He's day-to-day, so it appears he's nearing a return. But in the meantime, the 2017 No. 9 overall pick will miss a third consecutive contest. With Brooklyn still without Ben Simmons (back) and Cam Thomas (ankle) as well, […]

Donovan Mitchell May Miss Another Game On Saturday

Cleveland Cavaliers guard Donovan Mitchell (hamstring) is questionable ahead of Saturday's meeting with the Lakers. He's missed the previous four games because of a hamstring strain, so the team isn't taking any chances with the superstar. That said, Darius Garland, averaging 25 points, five assists, and three rebounds without Mitchell this season, would remain a […]

Donovan Mitchell May Return On Saturday Versus Lakers

Cleveland Cavaliers guard Donovan Mitchell (hamstring) is officially considered questionable for the team's Saturday night game against the Los Angeles Lakers. The superstar combo guard hasn't played since November 15 as he's been dealing with a right hamstring strain. If he's able to play, that would deliver a hit to the fantasy value of Craig […]

White currently averages 12.8 points, 4.1 assists, 2.8 rebounds, and […]

Jrue Holiday Sidelined On Friday

Boston Celtics guard Jrue Holiday (ankle) won't play in Friday's matinee against Orlando. Holiday had been listed as probable as of Thursday night because of a sprained right ankle. However, he apparently suffered a setback, going from doubtful to out since then. The 33-year-old hasn't played the best in his first season with the Celtics, […]

Gary Payton II Probable To Return On Friday

Golden State Warriors guard Gary Payton II (foot) has missed the last three games with a left foot strain but is now listed as probable to return on Friday against the San Antonio Spurs. Payton's return will probably mean that Moses Moody and Cory Joseph take a hit to their fantasy relevance, while Brandin Podziemski […]

Andrew Nembhard Uncertain Against Pistons

Indiana Pacers guard Andrew Nembhard (back) continues to deal with back spasms, which have caused him to miss the last three consecutive games. Back problems are one of the hardest injuries to predict in terms of a return timetable. The good thing is that he hasn't been ruled out ahead of time and he remains […]

Jamal Murray To Sit Out On Friday

Denver Nuggets guard Jamal Murray (hamstring) has been ruled out ahead of Friday's game against the Houston Rockets. This was expected after it was reported on Wednesday that Murray was unlikely to play here. The Nuggets are going to take the cautious approach with their star guard while he recovers from a right hamstring strain. […]

Trae Young Pours In Season-High 43 Points Wednesday

Atlanta Hawks point guard Trae Young scored a season-high 43 points as the team ended a three-game slide with a 147-145 overtime victory against the Nets. Young has struggled to score the basketball efficiently all season, and he finished just 12-for-31 from the field here, but eight of Young's makes came from downtown, and he […]

LaMelo Ball Continues Scoring Tear

The star point guard has had a bumpy ride in Milwaukee, but he's finally found some consistency in […]

Dennis Smith Jr. Misses Another Game On Wednesday

Brooklyn Nets point guard Dennis Smith Jr. (back) will be on the shelf for a second consecutive game Wednesday versus Atlanta.
