Kelly Oubre Jr. Won't Return On Thursday
Charlotte Hornets forward Kelly Oubre Jr. (shoulder) has been ruled out for the rest of Thursday's game against the New Orleans Pelicans. More bad news for the Hornets with Terry Rozier (foot) exiting early during this game. Now, Oubre leaves after 12 minutes due to a left shoulder strain. The Hornets don't have any reason […]
Scottie Barnes Could Be Out Again Friday
Toronto Raptors forward Scottie Barnes (wrist) could be unavailable for a second consecutive game on Friday against Detroit. He hurt his left wrist last weekend against Milwaukee and hasn't been able to practice since then. The 21-year-old also couldn't play Wednesday against Indiana, and after Barnes missed another practice on Thursday, he is regarded as […]
Gary Trent Jr. Questionable For Friday
Toronto Raptors guard/forward Gary Trent Jr. (elbow) is considered questionable for Friday's contest against Detroit. He could be out for a second consecutive game after missing Wednesday's battle versus Indiana. The team was also without Scottie Barnes (wrist) on Wednesday and Will Barton ended up entering the starting unit. He didn't do a lot in […]
Norman Powell Misses A Ninth Consecutive Game
Los Angeles Clippers guard/forward Norman Powell (shoulder) will miss a ninth straight game Thursday against the Thunder. He was initially ruled out for a week with left shoulder subluxation, but it's now been three weeks since the last time he hit the court.

DeMar DeRozan Won't Return On Wednesday
Chicago Bulls forward DeMar DeRozan (quad) has been ruled out for the rest of Wednesday's game against the Philadelphia 76ers. DeRozan was really struggling in this game. He was 0-for-7 from the floor before exiting the game, so possibly the quad issue was part of the reason he was struggling. The Bulls were getting blown […]
Jalen McDaniels Ruled Out Wednesday
Philadelphia 76ers guard/forward Jalen McDaniels (hip) will not play Wednesday against the Chicago Bulls. McDaniels has been in and out of the lineup the past week and will now sit with a hip bruise. Danuel House and Georges Niang should continue to have solid roles as McDaniels has not been playing much regardless of injury.
Caleb Martin Available To Play Wednesday
Miami Heat forward Caleb Martin (knee) will play Wednesday against the New York Knicks. Martin has been battling some ongoing knee soreness and was listed as questionable, but will play through the injury against New York. Martin has gotten most of the minutes at power forward despite the acquisition of Kevin Love and offers some […]
Keldon Johnson Could Miss Second Consecutive Game
San Antonio Spurs forward Keldon Johnson (neck) carries a questionable status heading into the second half of the team's back-to-back against the Milwaukee Bucks on Wednesday. The 23-year-old missed the last game on Tuesday due to the same neck issue and he's in danger of missing another one. He's consistently been in and out of […]
Jalen McDaniels Questionable With Hip Soreness
Philadelphia 76ers forward Jalen McDaniels (hip) has been listed as questionable due to hip soreness for their contest against the Chicago Bulls on Wednesday.

Utah Jazz forward Lauri Markkanen has been marked as available for the team's game against the Portland Trail Blazers on Wednesday. After fully participating in practice on Tuesday and originally being listed as questionable, he has now been upgraded and the team will get their best player back on the court.

Paul George Will Miss At Least Two-To-Three Weeks
Los Angeles Clippers forward Paul George has officially been diagnosed with a sprained right knee and will be re-evaluated in two-to-three weeks according to ESPN's Adrian Wojnarowski. George was forced to exit their game on Tuesday after landing awkwardly coming down from a rebound. The video of the incident caused some fear that it was […]
Brandon Ingram Scores Game-High 32 Points In Easy Win
New Orleans Pelicans forward Brandon Ingram led all scorers during a 119-84 win over the San Antonio Spurs on Tuesday night.

Paolo Banchero Falls Just Shy Of A Triple-Double
Orlando Magic forward Paolo Banchero fell just one rebound and two assists shy of his first career triple-double during a 10-point win over the Washington Wizards.

Lauri Markkanen Questionable Versus Blazers
Utah Jazz forward Lauri Markkanen (back) is questionable to play Wednesday against the Portland Trail Blazers. Markkanen missed Monday's game after dealing with soreness in his back, but was able to go through a full practice on Tuesday. Markkanen seems to be trending in the right direction and the injury is not deemed serious. If […]
Anthony Edwards May Play Against Houston
Minnesota Timberwolves guard/forward Anthony Edwards (ankle) is questionable to play Wednesday versus the Houston Rockets. Edwards has missed the past two games with an ankle sprain, but there is optimism he could return on Wednesday. If Edwards is cleared, Taurean Prince should move back to the bench. Prince had himself a game on Monday, shooting […]
Lauri Markkanen A Full Participant At Practice On Tuesday
Utah Jazz forward Lauri Markkanen (back) was forced to miss the team's last game on Monday due to back soreness. The good news is that he fully participated in practice on Tuesday and seems to be trending in the right direction. With that being said, Monday could have also just been a rest day. If […]
Caleb Martin Added To Injury Report Against Knicks
Miami Heat forward Caleb Martin (knee) has been added to the team's injury report due to left knee soreness. The 27-year-old was able to play 30 minutes in their last game against the Detroit Pistons, so this sounds like it could be a precautionary injury status. Just in case he can't play, some sort of […]
Dorian Finney-Smith Is Available Against Cleveland
Brooklyn Nets forward Dorian Finney-Smith (wrist) was originally listed as questionable for Tuesday's matchup with the Cleveland Cavaliers. He's now available for the team and will likely slot into his normal role of around 27-to-30 minutes per game. Fantasy managers should now expect the usual value out of Royce O'Neale and Yuta Watanabe since Finney-Smith […]
Ochai Agbaji Leads The Jazz Offense Monday
Utah Jazz guard/forward Ochai Agbaji led the squad with a career-high 27 points as the team defeated Sacramento on Monday 128-120. He shot 8-for-14 from the field, including 6-for-10 from downtown, and picked up five rebounds with three assists and one block.

Taurean Prince Pops Up With A 35-Point Effort
Minnesota Timberwolves forward Taurean Prince came out of nowhere to hit a season-high 35 points Monday against the Knicks, leading the team to a 140-134 road victory. Anthony Edwards (ankle) missed a second consecutive game, so there have suddenly been a lot more shooting opportunities for others and Prince took full advantage of it on […]
Dorian Finney-Smith Questionable Against Cavs
Brooklyn Nets forward Dorian Finney-Smith (wrist) is listed as questionable to play Tuesday versus the Cleveland Cavaliers. Finney-Smith is dealing with a wrist contusion in his shooting hand and may miss his first game since joining the Nets. If Finney-Smith is unable to go, look for a committee of Royce O'Neale, Yuta Watanabe and Seth […]
Jae'Sean Tate Doubtful For Monday
Houston Rockets forward Jae'Sean Tate (rest) is considered doubtful for Monday's game against the Golden State Warriors. He's expected to sit this game considering he hasn't played in both ends of a back-to-back set since returning from injury. That means, Tate is likely to sit on Monday because he played 22 minutes on Sunday. His […]
Austin Reaves Becomes Unlikely Hero Sunday
Los Angeles Lakers guard/forward Austin Reaves popped up with a huge performance Sunday against Orlando, leading the team to a 111-105 victory with a career-high 35 points. He was only 1-for-4 from deep but shot a good 9-for-14 from the field and lived on the line with a 16-for-18 effort. In 30 minutes off the […]

Milwaukee Bucks forward Giannis Antetokounmpo shot a perfect 9-for-9 from the field and had a triple-double in Sunday's 118-111 win over Toronto. He put up 22 points, grabbed 13 rebounds, and delivered 10 assists. Defensively, Giannis contributed with two blocks. The former MVP has been a bit quiet on the offensive end in recent games, […]
Jimmy Butler Gets A Double-Double With Assists
Miami Heat forward Jimmy Butler put in a super-efficient double-double performance against Detroit on Sunday, finishing a 112-100 victory with 26 points and a season-high 10 assists. He shot 8-for-11 from the field and went 10-for-11 with his free throws, wrapping things up with four rebounds and one steal. Butler does it all for Miami […]
Devin Booker Goes Off For 46 Points
Phoenix Suns guard/forward Devin Booker was red-hot against the Thunder on Sunday, shooting 18-for-28 from the field en route to 46 points. It's the fourth-most points he has put up in a game this season. Booker, who was 3-for-7 with the three-ball, added three rebounds, one assist and one steal to his line. Despite Booker's […]
Bennedict Mathurin Questionable To Make Return On Monday
Indiana Pacers guard Bennedict Mathurin (ankle) has missed the last four games with an ankle injury and is now listed as questionable for Monday's contest against the Charlotte Hornets. As long as he can play, he'd get some extra minutes since Tyrese Haliburton (knee) is out for a few games. If he has to miss […]
Kevin Huerter Uncertain For Monday's Game Against Utah
Sacramento Kings guard Kevin Huerter (leg) first suffered a leg injury on Thursday and he was forced to miss the team's game on Saturday against the Wizards. Now, he's questionable against the Jazz on Monday and will likely have to wait for shootaround and warm-ups to see how it feels. Davion Mitchell would likely be […]
