Josh Richardson Available On Friday

San Antonio Spurs forward Josh Richardson (quad) is available for Friday's game against the Detroit Pistons. He was listed as questionable coming into this game due to a quad contusion. It sounds like Richardson is good to go and should see an increased role going forward with Devin Vassell (knee) out indefinitely. Both Richardson and […]

Lonnie Walker IV Set To Miss At Least Next Two Weeks

Los Angeles Lakers shooting guard/small forward Lonnie Walker IV (knee) has been sidelined for at least the next two weeks due to left knee tendinitis. L.A. is set to play eight contests in that span, opening minutes on the wing for Juan Toscano-Anderson and Max Christie, among others. Walker has averaged a career-best 14.7 PPG […]

Austin Reaves Will Miss At Least Two Weeks With Injury

Los Angeles Lakers shooting guard/small forward Austin Reaves (hamstring) has been shut down for at least two weeks due to a strained left hamstring, at which point the team will re-evaluate his progress. Reaves has played an integral wing role for L.A. this season, averaging 10.8 PPG while shooting 48.8 percent overall. With injuries sweeping […]

Andre Iguodala Will Make Season Debut Saturday

Golden State Warriors small forward Andre Iguodala (hip) has been given the green light to make his first appearance of the 2022-23 season after missing the team's first 39 games due to a hip injury. The 38-year-old will be embarking on his final NBA year, but isn't likely to play a fantasy relevant role on […]

Caleb Martin Not Expected To Suit Up Friday

Miami Heat small forward Caleb Martin (quad) has been tagged as doubtful to play in Friday's game vs. Phoenix as he continues to battle a strained left quad. Martin returned to start each of Miami's past two contests, but he combined for just 10 points across 35 minutes. A return to the sidelines for Martin […]

Andrew Wiggins Logs Practice Friday, Could Play Saturday

Golden State Warriors small forward Andrew Wiggins (groin, illness) was able to notch a full practice session Friday, paving the way for a potential return to action Saturday against Orlando. Wiggins has been sidelined since Dec. 3 due to a tight right adductor, having dropped a season-high 36 points in his most recent outing before […]

Paul George, Kawhi Leonard Questionable For Friday’s Game

LA Clippers forwards Paul George (hamstring) and Kawhi Leonard (knee) have been deemed questionable to play in Friday's contest vs. Minnesota. While the duo both suited up Thursday, an early deficit led to the two stars combining for just 32 minutes of action; Leonard has yet to play both legs of a back-to-back this season […]

Gordon Hayward Not Expected To Suit Up On Friday

Charlotte Hornets forward Gordon Hayward (hamstring) was kept out of Wednesday's action and is now listed as doubtful for Friday's contest against the Milwaukee Bucks. The 32-year-old has missed big chunks of time this season, so hopefully, this sideline stint isn't as lengthy. If he does end up missing Friday's game, that will be his […]

RJ Barrett Sidelined Again On Friday Against Toronto

New York Knicks guard RJ Barrett (finger) will have to sit out another game with a laceration on his right index finger. He has missed the last four consecutive games with the same injury and will officially miss a fifth. Immanuel Quickley has entered the starting lineup and he's only rostered in 59 percent of […]

T.J. Warren Picks Up Questionable Tag On Friday

Brooklyn Nets forward T.J. Warren (ribs) suffered a rib contusion during Wednesday's game and had to leave the game after playing just 14 minutes. He wasn't able to return to the game and now is uncertain to play against the New Orleans Pelicans on Friday. Warren has played a big part in the offense while […]

Lauri Markkanen Scores A Career-High Against Rockets

Utah Jazz forward Lauri Markkanen has been absolutely on fire since returning from injury on December 13th. In the 131-114 win over the Houston Rockets on Thursday, he put up 49 points, eight rebounds, one assist, and one block. The 25-year-old shot 15-for-27 from the floor, 6-for-15 from deep, and a perfect 13-for-13 from the […]

Jayson Tatum Collects His Second Career Triple-Double

Boston Celtics forward Jayson Tatum led the team with his first triple-double of the season in their 124-95 win over the Dallas Mavericks on Thursday. While his shooting efficiency wasn't great, he posted 29 points, 14 rebounds, 10 assists, one steal, and two blocks with only two turnovers. The 24-year-old out of Duke only shot […]

Paolo Banchero Posts His Fourth 30-Point Game

Orlando Magic forward Paolo Banchero posted yet another 30-point game in a losing effort against the Memphis Grizzlies on Thursday night. The rookie with the next highest amount of such games is Bennedict Mathurin with two. The Duke product finished this game with 30 points, nine rebounds, three assists, and one steal while shooting 50% […]

Andrew Wiggins Gets Cleared For Practice

Golden State Warriors forward Andrew Wiggins (groin, illness) has been cleared to resume practice on Friday, according to head coach Steve Kerr. This is great news after Wiggins has missed the last 15 games. It sounds like Wiggins could suit up on Saturday, assuming everything goes well during Friday's practice. The expectation is that he'd […]

Paul George Available On Thursday

Los Angeles Clippers guard Paul George (hamstring) is available for Thursday's game against the Denver Nuggets. The All-Star forward has been dealing with a minor hamstring issue, but will suit up here. George has scored at least 20 points in each of his last seven games. That being said, fantasy managers should make sure he's […]

Josh Richardson Questionable For Friday

San Antonio Spurs forward Josh Richardson (quad) is listed as questionable for Friday's game against the Detroit Pistons. Normally, Richardson's status doesn't have a huge impact on the rotation. However, Devin Vassell (knee) is set to undergo surgery and is likely to miss significant time. Richardson has been playing more minutes lately and should have […]

Devin Vassell To Undergo Surgery

San Antonio Spurs forward Devin Vassell (knee) is set to undergo arthroscopic surgery on his left knee on January 11th. The organization has no timetable for his return, so fantasy managers shouldn't expect him back soon. Honestly, the Spurs aren't playing for anything, so they will likely take it extremely slow with Vassell. Romeo Langford […]

Jae'Sean Tate Ready To Return Thursday

Houston Rockets forward Jae'Sean Tate (ankle) is finally available for the team again Thursday against Utah. He has missed all but three games this season with a right ankle injury. Tate is a guy who does a little bit of everything on the court and has averaged 8.3 points with 4.3 rebounds, 3.3 assists and […]

Brandon Clarke Misses A Third Game

Memphis Grizzlies forward Brandon Clarke (hip) won't be in the lineup for the third straight time Thursday against Orlando. He is working his way back from a sore left hip. Following Thursday, Clarke will get some very good recovery time as Memphis won't be back on the court until Sunday, so he should have a […]

Desmond Bane Rested On Thursday

Memphis Grizzlies guard/forward Desmond Bane (toe) won't play Thursday against the Magic. He has only just returned from injury and the Grizzlies complete a back-to-back, so the team has decided to give Bane a night off. The 24-year-old had a nice 19-point showing with a career-high 11 rebounds and four assists Wednesday versus Charlotte. Bane […]

Paul George Considered Questionable Thursday

Los Angeles Clippers forward Paul George (hamstring) is carrying a questionable tag ahead of Thursday's contest against Denver. He is feeling discomfort in his right hamstring and might have to sit out the game to give it rest. George missed seven games in November with a right hamstring issue, so the team will likely be […]

T.J. Warren Suffers A Rib Contusion

Brooklyn Nets forward T.J. Warren exited Wednesday's matchup against Chicago in the fourth quarter after suffering a rib contusion on a screen. It was a bad ending to a bad night, as Warren failed to score in 14 minutes. The 29-year-old has bounced back well from awful injury setbacks, averaging 9.5 points and 3.4 rebounds […]

Kevin Durant Drops 44 Points In Loss to Chicago

Brooklyn Nets forward Kevin Durant went bonkers against the Chicago Bulls, but it ultimately wasn't enough as the team's win streak ended on Wednesday. The superstar forward finished the game with 44 points, four rebounds, five assists, one steal, and two blocks while shooting an uber-efficient 68.2% from the floor on 22 attempts and 5-for-10 […]

Kawhi Leonard Removed From Injury Report

Los Angeles Clippers forward Kawhi Leonard (illness) has been removed from the injury report ahead of Thursday's game against the Denver Nuggets. The superstar forward is set to return after a one-game absence due to a non-COVID related illness. The 31-year-old hasn't been great this season, but is beginning to heat up. Leonard has been […]

Nicolas Batum Listed As Out For Thursday

Los Angeles Clippers forward Nicolas Batum (ankle) is listed as out for Thursday's game against the Denver Nuggets. The veteran forward has been ruled out in advance due to a left ankle sprain. His absence won't have a huge impact on the rotation with Kawhi Leonard (illness) back in the mix. Possibly, Robert Covington has […]

Royce O'Neale To Start On Wednesday

Brooklyn Nets forward Royce O'Neale (illness) is available for Wednesday's game against the New York Knicks. O'Neale is back in the starting five after missing Monday's game due to a non-COVID related illness. His return will shift Seth Curry to the second unit, which means his fantasy value is going to take a significant hit. […]

Derrick Jones Jr. Active On Wednesday

Chicago Bulls forward Derrick Jones Jr. (eye) is available for Wednesday's game against the Brooklyn Nets. Jones is back in action and should serve as the backup power forward to Patrick Williams. The Bulls are still without Javonte Green (knee), which means both Jones and Williams should see increased roles. This season, Williams has been […]

Jalen McDaniels To Start On Wednesday

Charlotte Hornets forward Jalen McDaniels will move into the starting five for Wednesday's game against the Memphis Grizzlies. The Grizzlies are shorthanded for this game with Gordon Hayward (hamstring) and Kelly Oubre Jr. (hand) both out. That being said, McDaniels is likely to play a significant role on Wednesday. He is looking like a must-stream […]

Santi Aldama And Ziaire Williams Good To Go Wednesday

Memphis Grizzlies forwards Santi Aldama (ankle) and Ziaire Williams (knee) will play Wednesday against the Charlotte Hornets. Aldama missed two games with an ankle injury but should go back to his normal reserve role. Aldama should see extra minute with Brandon Clarke (hip) ruled out. Williams has also missed the last two games and will […]

Chris Duarte Will Play Against Sixers

Indiana Pacers guard/forward Chris Duarte (ankle) will play Wednesday against the Philadelphia 76ers. Duarte tweaked his ankle and was experiencing some soreness, but will not miss any games due to the injury. Duarte should continue to split minutes with Benedict Mathurin off the bench. If Duarte is hobbled by the injury at all, Mathurin will […]
