Reddish has averaged 3.9 points, 2.5 rebounds, and 1.1 steals across 20.5 minutes this season. He might get a bit more extra work on Monday due […]

Cameron Johnson Downgraded To Out

Brooklyn Nets forward Cameron Johnson (ankle) will not suit up for Monday's tilt against Chicago. He has been downgraded from questionable to out. The Nets are down to bare bones on Monday, giving the likes of Jalen Wilson and Tyrese Martin a chance to showcase their talent better. Meanwhile, we should see Dennis Schroder a […]

Sam Hauser Misses Monday's Game For Personal Reasons

Boston Celtics forward Sam Hauser (personal) has been ruled out for Monday's meeting with Miami. After making his first start of the campaign on Sunday versus Cleveland, Hauser will exit the lineup due to personal reasons. Jrue Holiday (knee), Kristaps Porzingis (foot), and Al Horford (toe) are all out as well, opening up a lot […]

Jayson Tatum Active On Monday

Boston Celtics forward Jayson Tatum (knee) will play against Miami on Monday. Following Sunday's 115-111 loss to Cleveland, Tatum carried a questionable tag on the initial injury report but has now been upgraded to available. He's coming off back-to-back 30-point games and will look to keep his hot three-point shooting stretch going on Monday. Tatum […]

Ziaire Williams Out Monday

Brooklyn Nets guard/forward Ziaire Williams (knee) will not play on Monday against the Chicago Bulls. Williams sustained a left knee sprain late in the fourth quarter of Sunday's game against the Magic. The severity of the sprain is currently unknown. Dorian Finney-Smith (ankle) and Ben Simmons (back) have also been ruled out. The 23-year-old Williams […]

Herbert Jones Considered Doubtful Against Hawks

New Orleans Pelicans forward Herbert Jones (shoulder) isn't expected to play on Monday against the Atlanta Hawks since he's still dealing with a right shoulder strain. The 26-year-old hasn't been able to play since October 29, and will likely miss at least one more game. Yves Missi has joined the starting five since Zion Williamson […]

Brandon Ingram Deemed Questionable Against Hawks

New Orleans Pelicans forward Brandon Ingram (calf) appeared on the injury report again as questionable while he still suffers from tendonitis in his calf. He's been forced to miss the last four consecutive games with the same issue. If he's downgraded to out again on Monday, Trey Murphy III and Javonte Green should see a […]

Jaylen Brown Tagged As Questionable With Illness

Boston Celtics guard/forward Jaylen Brown (illness) is dealing with a non-COVID illness, which has landed him on the injury report as questionable to face the Miami Heat. He was unable to play in their last game against the Cleveland Cavaliers as well, so the team will likely wait for warm-ups to see if he can […]

Jayson Tatum Questionable Monday Against Heat

Boston Celtics forward Jayson Tatum (knee) has been tagged as questionable on Monday and may sit out against the Miami Heat. The 26-year-old hasn't been forced to miss a game yet this season, so a rest day may be in order to deal with his patella tendinopathy. If he actually is unable to play, Jaylen […]

Paolo Banchero Getting Back To Light, Non-Contact Court Work

Orlando Magic forward Paolo Banchero (oblique) hasn't played since October 30 due to an oblique injury but seems to be trending in the right direction. He told Sports Illustrated that he was feeling good and returned to the court where he got some ball-handling and spot-shooting work done. He wasn't able to do any sprinting […]

FanDuel NBA DFS Picks for Today (Monday 12/2/24): Daily Fantasy Basketball Advice

We have only four games on the main slate tonight, which is a lot fewer than usual for a Monday night. That's going to condense our player pool and make the most popular plays even chalkier. I don't mind playing cash games with at least four games, but if you're a GPP player it's a […]

Fantasy Basketball Waiver Wire Pickups for Week 7 (2024-2025): December 2 - December 8

Week 7 is upon us and it's the last full week of games before the in-season tournament. Some leagues may lump this week and next week together into one scoring period, so check your league settings to be sure. For today, I am just covering one calendar week as usual, and next week we can […]

Bogdan Bogdanovic Likely To Return On Monday

Atlanta Hawks guard/forward Bogdan Bogdanovic (hamstring) is expected to rejoin the lineup on Monday versus New Orleans. The team has listed him as probable for the game. Bogdanovic sat out Saturday's contest against Charlotte as Atlanta completed a back-to-back. The veteran scorer has returned from a hamstring injury, and the Hawks don't want to overwork […]

Kevin Huerter Out On Sunday

Sacramento Kings guard/forward Kevin Huerter (ankle) will not play in Sunday's contest against San Antonio. He injured his right ankle against Portland on Friday and was previously already considered doubtful for the game. Huerter's absence should guarantee extra work for Keon Ellis and Malik Monk. The latter has far more fantasy appeal, especially as Monk […]

Norman Powell Ready To Rock Sunday

Los Angeles Clippers guard/forward Norman Powell (hamstring) will return to action on Sunday against Denver. He has finally recovered from a hamstring strain, which kept Powell sidelined for six games. The 31-year-old is off to a great start to the season and has even started to sneak into All-Star conversations. Powell has averaged 23.3 points […]

Kris Murray Active On Sunday

Portland Trail Blazers forward Kris Murray (sternum) will be in the lineup on Sunday against Dallas. He's nursing a bruised sternum, but the team has upgraded Murray from probable to available. Murray has a limited role with the Trail Blazers, averaging 4.6 points and 2.5 rebounds across 13.7 minutes. Dallas allows the third-fewest bench points […]

Jerami Grant Back In Action Sunday

Portland Trail Blazers forward Jerami Grant (knee) will return from a two-game absence against Dallas on Sunday. The team has upgraded him to available after initially listing Grant as questionable for the game with a left knee sprain, which has bothered him for a bit. The Trail Blazers continue to roll with a thin lineup, […]

Klay Thompson Out For Fourth Straight Game

Dallas Mavericks guard/forward Klay Thompson (foot) will continue to sit against Portland on Sunday, missing a fourth straight game. The former All-Star is struggling to shake off a left foot injury. Luka Doncic (wrist) will be back on Sunday, but Kyrie Irving (shoulder), Dereck Lively II (knee), and Naji Marshall (illness) join Thompson on the […]

Naji Marshall Will Not Play Sunday

Dallas Mavericks forward Naji Marshall (illness) will miss his first game of the season on Sunday versus Portland. He continues to battle an illness, which limited Marshall to 13 minutes against Utah on Saturday. Marshall had scored 20-plus points in four consecutive games before settling for only three points in Saturday's game. He's put in […]

DeMar DeRozan Returns To Kings Lineup Sunday

Sacramento Kings forward DeMar DeRozan (back) will return to work on Sunday versus San Antonio. He's missed a couple of games due to lower back inflammation. New signing Jae Crowder made a pair of starts during DeRozan's absence and is set to land on the bench now. DeRozan's debut campaign in Sacramento has gone well, […]

Cam Reddish Absent On Sunday

Los Angeles Lakers guard/forward Cam Reddish (illness) will not suit up for Sunday's meeting with Utah. He was a late addition to the injury report with an illness and hasn't been cleared to play. Reddish has finished three consecutive games scoreless, so he shouldn't be a big loss for the Lakers. However, the 25-year-old has […]

Dorian Finney-Smith Ruled Out For Sunday

Brooklyn Nets forward Dorian Finney-Smith (ankle) has been ruled out ahead of Sunday's game against the Orlando Magic. The veteran forward will miss his second game in a row due to an ankle issue. The organization is hopeful that Finney-Smith can return for Monday's game against the Chicago Bulls. In the meantime, Jalen Wilson and […]

Andrew Wiggins Will Play Saturday

Golden State Warriors forward Andrew Wiggins (ankle) was expected to play on Saturday, according to head coach Steve Kerr, but they needed to let him go through a warm-up first. After his warm-up routine was closely monitored by the team, he was cleared to play against the Phoenix Suns on Saturday. Stephen Curry (knee) was […]

Alex Caruso Ruled Out For Fourth Straight Game

Oklahoma City Thunder guard/forward Alex Caruso (hip) will remain on the shelf for a fourth consecutive game on Sunday versus Houston. The veteran continues to struggle with a hip injury. It's been a frustrating campaign for Caruso with his new team, as he has been limited to 13 outings. Averaging 19.7 minutes per contest, he […]

Brandon Ingram Ruled Out Against Knicks

New Orleans Pelicans forward Brandon Ingram (calf) has already been ruled out for Sunday's contest against the Knicks, which will be his fourth consecutive game on the sidelines. Ingram is dealing with tendonitis in his calf, so it seems this is an injury based on pain threshold. Since Jordan Hawkins (back) and Herbert Jones (shoulder) […]

Paul George Active Versus Pistons

Philadelphia 76ers guard/forward Paul George (knee) will return from a three-game absence on Saturday against Detroit. The nine-time All-Star has shaken off a questionable tag ahead of tip-off. George adds much-needed quality to the 3-14 Sixers, who have struggled to kick into gear. So far this season, George has been limited to eight appearances with […]

Caleb Martin Remains Out On Saturday

Philadelphia 76ers forward Caleb Martin (back) will not return to the lineup on Saturday against Detroit. He misses a second straight game after initially being listed as questionable for the matchup. Ricky Council IV got extra burn without Martin on Wednesday versus Houston and produced a 12-point, 10-rebound double-double. However, this came with a number […]

Kawhi Leonard "Progressing Well"

According to Los Angeles Clippers head coach Ty Lue, forward Kawhi Leonard (knee) is "progressing well." However, the team will remain cautious while ensuring Leonard checks "every box" before moving on to the next step in his rehab process. Without a doubt, Leonard is one of the best players on the planet. Unfortunately, health issues […]

Jonathan Kuminga Likely To Play Against The Suns

Golden State Warriors forward Jonathan Kuminga (illness) is expected to suit up on Saturday night against the Suns. The 22-year-old missed a few games before returning on Wednesday against OKC. He scored 19 points, although he shot a rough 3-for-10 from behind the arc. With Stephen Curry (knees) in danger of missing another contest, Kuminga […]

Andrew Wiggins Questionable Versus Phoenix

Golden State Warriors forward Andrew Wiggins (ankle) is questionable heading into Saturday's contest versus the Phoenix Suns. The veteran is playing much better than he did last season, averaging 17.4 points and shooting a career-high 41.0% from behind the arc. With Stephen Curry (knees) in danger of missing Saturday's meeting, Wiggins could see more scoring […]
