Scottie Barnes Exits On Sunday With Wrist Injury
Toronto Raptors forward Scottie Barnes (wrist) was forced to exit their game in the second quarter on Sunday against the Milwaukee Bucks. The silver lining is that the X-Rays came back clean, but he will be evaluated further on Monday just to make sure that the doesn't have to miss major time. Gary Trent Jr. […]
Lauri Markkanen Questionable Monday With Back Injury
Utah Jazz forward Lauri Markkanen (back) is questionable to play Monday versus the Sacramento Kings. Markkanen is dealing with some soreness in his back and also missed a game due to the injury two weeks ago. If Markkanen is ruled out, Simone Fontecchio and Rudy Gay figure to get extra minutes. Talen Horton-Tucker and Kelly […]
Isaiah Livers Out Again On Sunday
Detroit Pistons forward Isaiah Livers (hip) won't play on Sunday versus Miami. Bojan Bogdanovic (Achilles) also remains out, so Rodney McGruder should slide back into the three spot. McGruder has averaged 10.1 points, 4.0 rebounds, and 46.2% shooting from deep in 10 starts this season, giving him plenty of appeal in all fantasy setups.
Bojan Bogdanovic Remains Out On Sunday
Detroit Pistons forward Bojan Bogdanovic (Achilles) won't suit up on Sunday against the visiting Miami Heat. The sharpshooter has missed the last eight games (and nine of his previous 10) while dealing with left Achilles tendinopathy. As the 2022-23 campaign nears the final turn, it's looking more unlikely Bogdanovic will be back. With Isaiah Livers […]
Kyle Kuzma Scores Game-High 33 Points Versus Sacramento
Washington Wizards forward Kyle Kuzma led all scorers with a 33-point effort in Saturday's 132-118 loss to Sacramento. A knee issue forced him to leave the game for a bit, but the injury apparently didn't have much effect on Kuzma's performance. He shot 12-for-23 from the field with a 4-for-11 record from deep, while also […]
Keita Bates-Diop Not Expected To Play On Sunday
San Antonio Spurs forward Keita Bates-Diop (Achilles) is unlikely to play against the Atlanta Hawks. The Spurs are in trouble, as Jeremy Sochan (knee) is out, while Zach Collins (biceps) and Doug McDermott (hip) are questionable. As a result, Dominick Barlow could see plenty of minutes at the four on Sunday. However, the 19-year-old has […]
DeMar DeRozan Racks Up 49 Points In Friday's Win
Chicago Bulls forward DeMar DeRozan put up a season-high 49 points as double overtime was needed to separate the Bulls from the Minnesota Timberwolves Friday.

Jayson Tatum Uncertain For Friday
Boston Celtics forward Jayson Tatum (hip) is listed as questionable for Friday's game against the Portland Trail Blazers. The superstar forward suffered a left hip contusion after taking a hard fall during Wednesday's contest. The organization is likely going to wait until closer to game time before making a final decision on Tatum. That being […]
Buddy Hield Questionable On Thursday
Indiana Pacers guard/forward Buddy Hield (foot) is listed as questionable for Thursday's meeting with Milwaukee. He will need to shake off left foot soreness to avoid missing his first game of the season. Hield struggled badly in the last game Monday against Detroit and logged only 22 minutes. Jordan Nwora put in a very good […]
Isaiah Livers Unavailable Thursday
Detroit Pistons guard/forward Isaiah Livers (hip) won't play Thursday against Denver, missing a second consecutive game. With a number of players out of the lineup due to injuries, Livers has played a big part for the Pistons in recent weeks, but he has now hurt himself as well and has to watch the proceedings from […]
Alec Burks Out Again Thursday
Detroit Pistons guard/forward Alec Burks (foot) will remain on the sidelines for Thursday's contest against the Nuggets. The 31-year-old will miss a sixth consecutive game while trying to overcome left foot soreness. Burks has been a good option off the bench for the Pistons this season, averaging 12.8 points with 3.1 rebounds and 2.2 assists. […]
Bojan Bogdanovic Misses Another Game Thursday
Detroit Pistons forward Bojan Bogdanovic (Achilles) will be out for an eighth straight game Thursday versus Denver. He has hurt his left Achilles and it's possible we have seen the last of Bogdanovic in 2022-23, with the team reportedly considering shutting him down for the rest of the campaign. Bogdanovic has been Detroit's leading scorer […]
Jaylen Brown Carries Celtics To Close Win Over Minnesota
Boston Celtics guard Jaylen Brown blew up on Wednesday night to help the team sneak by the Timberwolves by a score of 104-102. The former third-overall pick posted 35 points, 10 rebounds, one assist, and one steal on 50% shooting off of 24 attempts while adding 5-for-8 from deep and 6-for-8 from the line. While […]
Kawhi Leonard Leads Clippers To Victory Over Warriors
Los Angeles Clippers forward Kawhi Leonard put together a strong all-around performance to help take down the Golden State Warriors on Wednesday despite Stephen Curry dropping 50 points.

Andre Iguodala To Undergo Surgery
Golden State Warriors forward Andre Iguodala (wrist) is scheduled to undergo surgery next week. The 38-year-old recently suffered a fractured left wrist, which is expected to sideline him quite some time. The organization hasn't given a timetable on Iguodala, but will likely offer more details after the surgery. His absence isn't expected to be a […]
Jonathan Kuminga Available Against Clippers
Golden State Warriors forward Jonathan Kuminga (ankle) will suit up for Wednesday's game against the Los Angeles Clippers. This doesn't come as much of a surprise considering Kuminga was probable heading into this game. He'll be asked to help pick up the slack with Andre Iguodala (wrist) sidelined. The expectation is that Kuminga will have […]
Jalen McDaniels Will Sit Out Versus Cavs
Philadelphia 76ers forward Jalen McDaniels (hip) will not play Wednesday versus the Cleveland Cavaliers. McDaniels has a hip contusion which forced him out of their last game and will cause the forward to sit Wednesday at the least. De'Anthony Melton and Georges Niang should absorb most of the leftover minutes while Danuel House also sees […]
Devin Vassell Out On Wednesday
San Antonio Spurs guard/forward Devin Vassell (knee) will miss Wednesday's game against Dallas. The Spurs are maneuvering through a back-to-back set and Vassell drops out of the lineup after posting 10 points with six rebounds and four assists in 33 minutes Tuesday against Orlando. The team is trying to manage a left knee problem with […]
Jalen McDaniels Questionable For Wednesday
Philadelphia 76ers forward Jalen McDaniels (hip) is regarded as questionable for Wednesday's game against Cleveland. He was injured Sunday against Washington, and while Philadelphia head coach Doc Rivers suggested that it's not a serious issue, McDaniels hasn't been able to practice and also missed Wednesday's shootaround in the morning. It's looking likely that McDaniels will […]

Portland Trail Blazers forward Jerami Grant (quad) has been ruled out Tuesday versus the New York Knicks. Grant only played 19 minutes last game and is dealing with a contusion in his quad, forcing him to miss Tuesday's contest. Trendon Watford is expected to get the sport start while Nassir Little should see extra minutes […]
Franz Wagner Starting Tuesday
Orlando Magic forward Franz Wagner (ankle) is available to play Tuesday versus the San Antonio Spurs. Franz was questionable to play with a right ankle sprain, but has recovered enough to resume his normal role. If Wagner is hobbled by the injury, Jalen Suggs and Cole Anthony should see increased minutes off the bench.
Luka Doncic Remains Out Ahead Of Wednesday
Dallas Mavericks guard/forward Luka Doncic (thigh) has already been ruled out of Wednesday's game versus the San Antonio Spurs. Doncic will miss his third straight game with a thigh injury and, given the limited news available surrounding the injury, seems to have no firm timetable to return just yet. With Tim Hardaway Jr. (calf) and […]
Jerami Grant Dealing With Quad Injury
Portland Trail Blazers forward Jerami Grant (quad) is questionable to play Tuesday versus the New York Knicks. Grant is dealing with a quad contusion and was only able to play 19 minutes in Sunday's loss. Given the Blazers were down most of the game, it's possible Grant was held out as a precaution. If Grant […]
Khris Middleton Resting On Tuesday
Milwaukee Bucks forward Khris Middleton (rest) will not play Tuesday against the Phoenix Suns. Middleton has been sitting back-to-backs and will do so again after recording 31 points and nine assists in 34 minutes on Monday. Middleton will likely continue sitting back-to-backs for the remainder of the regular season as the Bucks gear up for […]
Isaiah Livers Among Pistons Sitting Out Tuesday
Detroit Pistons forward Isaiah Livers (hip) has been ruled out Tuesday against the Washington Wizards. Livers has been starting due to the many injuries Detroit is facing, but he will be another victim to the injury bug as he's been ruled out with some hip soreness. The Pistons are on the second night of a […]
Franz Wagner Listed As Questionable On Tuesday
Orlando Magic forward Franz Wagner (ankle) was able to play 28 minutes in a 12-point win over the Miami Heat on Saturday, so the ankle sprain that originally happened the week before didn't seem to linger too much. Either way, he's officially listed as questionable and the team will likely see how he feels during […]
Kyle Kuzma Downgraded To Out On Tuesday Against Detroit
Washington Wizards forward Kyle Kuzma (knee) has been downgraded from questionable to out on Tuesday. The 27-year-old seems to be dealing with some wear and tear type of soreness in his right knee and will get a rest day likely due to the fact that they're playing the 16-53 Detroit Pistons. While he's watching from […]
Kelly Oubre Jr. Expected To Play On Tuesday
Charlotte Hornets forward Kelly Oubre Jr. (back) was forced to miss their game on Sunday with back discomfort but is now listed as probable for their contest on Tuesday against the Cleveland Cavaliers. The good news is that the injury wasn't in his wrist that kept him out for a lot of this season. Hopefully, […]
