OG Anunoby Out Against Atlanta

Toronto Raptors forward OG Anunoby will not play on Thursday against Atlanta. The 23-year-old will miss his third straight outing while forced into isolation due to COVID-19 contact tracing. With Pascal Siakam and Fred VanVleet also out for the same reason, look for Stanley Johnson and Terence Davis to continue to benefit, with both men logging […]

Cam Reddish In A Walking Boot

Atlanta Hawks forward Cam Reddish (foot) will remain out for Thursday's matchup against Toronto. The 21-year-old had a procedure performed to address the sore right Achilles that had been bothering him, which will keep him on the shelf for at least another week until he gets re-evaluated. In the meantime, look for Bogdan Bogdanovic to […]

Otto Porter Expected To Play Thursday

Chicago Bulls forward Otto Porter (back) is expected to suit up for Thursday's game against the Philadelphia 76ers. He has not played since the beginning of February, but head coach Billy Donovan sounds confident that Porter is nearing a return. Lauri Markkanen (shoulder) has been practicing as well, so he might play on Thursday. Thaddeus […]

Michael Porter Jr. Records Double-Double With Full Line

Denver Nuggets forward Michael Porter Jr. had an excellent game in a win over the Pacers on Thursday. Porter scored 24 points with 11 rebounds, five triples, two steals, and a block in 38 minutes. The 22-year-old slumped through the first half of February but has turned it on recently, perhaps motivated by head coach […]

Brandon Ingram Delivers Full Line Thursday Night

New Orleans Pelicans small forward Brandon Ingram did a little bit of everything in Thursday's loss to Miami, recording 17 points, nine assists, five rebounds, two steals, and one block. He looked set for a huge night with Zion Williamson (toe) out, but Ingram ended up being surprisingly passive by taking only 12 shots, hitting […]

Jimmy Butler Misses Only Four Shots In 29-Point Game

Miami Heat small forward Jimmy Butler returned from a two-game absence with a vintage performance on Thursday, finishing a 103-93 win over New Orleans with a game-high 29 points on 10-for-14 shooting. He was 8-for-9 at the foul line while adding nine assists, three rebounds, and three steals with three turnovers in 34 minutes. Butler […]

Giannis Antetokounmpo Comes Two Dimes Short Of Triple-Double

Milwaukee Bucks forward Giannis Antetokounmpo flirted with a triple-double in Thursday's win over Memphis, going for 26 points, 11 rebounds, and eight assists. He also had two steals and one block with four turnovers in 36 minutes of action. Giannis, who shot 10-for-19 from the field on Thursday, became the top pick of this year's […]

Jayson Tatum Pours In 27 Points

Boston Celtics forward Jayson Tatum racked up 27 points, 12 rebounds, five assists, and two steals in 37 minutes during Thursday's win over the Raptors. The 23-year-old has been a little hot and cold recently but he does have at least 27 points in two of the last three games. The youngster heads into the […]

Kelly Oubre Jr. Listed As Questionable Thursday

Golden State Warriors forward Kelly Oubre Jr. (wrist) has been listed as questionable Thursday against the Suns. Oubre was held out of Wednesday's game with the left wrist issue- and is probably going to sit out another with the All-Star break coming up. With Stephen Curry (rest) and Draymond Green (rest) already out, Oubre could […]

Jimmy Butler Will Play, Bam Adebayo Ruled Out Against Pelicans

Miami Heat forward Jimmy Butler (knee) will play Thursday while Bam Adebayo (knee) has been ruled out against the Pelicans. Butler missed the last two games with some inflammation in his right knee- but returns just in time for an excellent matchup with the Pelicans, who have allowed the seventh-most FanDuel points to small forwards. […]

Kawhi Leonard Available, Paul George A Late Scratch

Los Angeles Clippers forward Kawhi Leonard (back) is available Thursday, while forward Paul George (dizziness) won't play against the Wizards. Leonard needed just one game on the sidelines after being a late scratch himself with back spasms during the shootaround before Tuesday's game. He should be good to go with no restrictions in an excellent […]

Jerami Grant Out Again On Thursday Night

Detroit Pistons forward Jerami Grant (quadriceps) will sit on Thursday against the New York Knicks. The veteran has been dealing with soreness in his left quad, an injury that forced him to also miss Wednesday's outing against the short-handed Toronto Raptors. With his absence, look for Wayne Ellington and Svi Mykhailiuk to be the primary […]

Buddy Hield Questionable Again

Sacramento Kings guard/forward Buddy Hield (ankle) has been classified as questionable for Thursday's outing against the Portland Trail Blazers. The 28-year-old had the same designation leading up to Wednesday's matchup against the Los Angeles Lakers but still managed to suit up, finishing with 29 points throughout 42 minutes of work. Though it would be surprising […]

Carmelo Anthony Produces 22-Point Performance Off Bench

Portland Trail Blazers forward Carmelo Anthony did some cooking in Wednesday's win over Golden State, racking up 22 points on 8-for-13 shooting in 32 minutes off the bench. He went 2-for-6 with the three-ball and added four assists and two rebounds. Melo has had his fair share of struggles as a bench scorer, but he's […]

Bojan Bogdanovic Stays Hot From Beyond The Arc

Utah Jazz forward Bojan Bogdanovic scored 18 points with five rebounds and four triples in a 131-123 loss to the 76ers on Wednesday. Bogdanovic has still had a couple of shaky shooting performances lately, but he seems to have found his shooting stroke in a stretch from late February into early March. Over his last […]

Kyle Kuzma Starting Against Sacramento

Los Angeles Lakers forward Kyle Kuzma (foot) will start on Wednesday evening against Sacramento. The 25-year-old is currently dealing with a bruise on his right heel, but luckily, he will be able to suit up for a team without LeBron James (ankle) and Anthony Davis (Achilles). Kuzma is averaging 14.6 throughout 10 starts during the […]

Buddy Hield Starting On Wednesday

Sacramento Kings guard/forward Buddy Hield (ankle) will start on Wednesday against the Los Angeles Lakers. Hield suffered a sprained right ankle during the matchup against the Charlotte Hornets on Sunday night but appears well enough to give it a go against the defending champs. The 28-year-old has logged heavy minutes throughout the year and gains […]

Kyle Kuzma Questionable Against Sacramento

Los Angeles Lakers forward Kyle Kuzma (foot) has been deemed questionable ahead of Wednesday's matchup against Sacramento. Kuzma is dealing with a bruise on his right heel, which puts him in danger of joining Anthony Davis (Achilles) and LeBron James (ankle) on the sidelines. If he does play, however, he will automatically gain attention from […]

Kelly Oubre Jr. Out On Wednesday

Golden State Warriors forward Kelly Oubre Jr. (wrist) won't play against the Trail Blazers on Wednesday evening. The 25-year-old is dealing with a sprained left wrist, an injury that puts him in danger of being held out until after the All-Star break. While Stephen Curry, Draymond Green, and Andrew Wiggins will likely benefit in terms […]

Kawhi Leonard Could Miss Thursday's Contest

Los Angeles Clippers forward Kawhi Leonard (back) is listed as questionable for Thursday's game against the Washington Wizards. He was a late scratch on Tuesday, so it wouldn't be shocking to see the team hold him out for the final game before the All-Star break. His absence would mean more chances for Lou Williams and […]

David Nwaba Out At Least Six Weeks

Houston Rockets forward David Nwaba (wrist) is not expected to be back on the court anytime soon. On Wednesday, he underwent right wrist surgery and should be sidelined at least six weeks. That is a crushing blow to a Rockets team that is already missing Eric Gordon (knee) and Danuel House (knee). Fantasy managers should […]

Gordon Hayward Available, Cody Zeller To Miss Another Game

Charlotte Hornets forward Gordon Hayward (hand) is available to play Wednesday, while Cody Zeller (hip) will miss another contest. Hayward was upgraded from questionable to probable earlier, though he said how playing through the hand injury made it worse. Playing through some pain, Hayward can still be activated in season-long leagues, though it might be […]

Domantas Sabonis, Jeremy Lamb Will Play Against Cavaliers

Indiana Pacers forward Domantas Sabonis (ankle) and forward Jeremy Lamb (knee) are available against the Cavaliers on Wednesday. Forward Doug McDermott (tooth) will also take the court. Sabonis was considered a game-time call, though he apparently navigated his way through warm-ups well enough to get the green light. He shouldn't be limited in any way, […]

Eric Gordon, Danuel House Jr. Ruled Out Against Nets

Houston Rockets forward Eric Gordon (knee) and forward Danuel House Jr. (knee) are both out for Wednesday's game against the Nets. Gordon will miss his second straight game as he deals with left knee soreness, and with the All-Star break so close, the Rockets won't be taking any chances. House also being ruled out means […]

Kawhi Leonard Questionable, Marcus Morris Doubtful

Los Angeles Clippers forward Kawhi Leonard (back) is questionable, while forward Marcus Morris is doubtful for Thursday against the Wizards. Leonard was a late scratch on Tuesday after experiencing back spasms during the team's shootaround, while Morris suffered a concussion in the second quarter of Tuesday's game against the Celtics and is unlikely to suit up. Paul […]

Jerami Grant, Josh Jackson Ruled Out Against Raptors

Detroit Pistons forwards Jerami Grant (quad) and Josh Jackson (illness) have been ruled out for Wednesday's contest against Toronto. Grant went from questionable to doubtful, so he was trending in the wrong direction. Jackson is dealing with a non-COVID-related illness- and he won't play in the first half of his team's back-to-back. That leaves the […]

Jimmy Butler Questionable For Thursday's Game

Miami Heat forward Jimmy Butler (knee) is questionable for Thursday's contest with the Pelicans. After a two-game absence, Butler is making the trip with the team, which is probably a good sign for his status against New Orleans. Kendrick Nunn, Goran Dragic, and Duncan Robinson have all shared the load in Butler's absence, with Tyler […]

Kelly Oubre Jr. Listed As Questionable Wednesday

Golden State Warriors forward Kelly Oubre Jr. (wrist) is listed as questionable for Wednesday's game against the Trail Blazers. Oubre is dealing with a left wrist sprain, which could make shooting difficult for the 25-year-old. He's appeared in all 35 games for the Warriors before this- but the team may opt to sit him out […]

Gordon Hayward Upgraded To Probable Against Timberwolves

Charlotte Hornets forward Gordon Hayward (hand) has been upgraded to probable on Wednesday against the Timberwolves. Hayward himself said he plans to play- and that the injury was basically an aggravation of the injury he suffered in the preseason. He noticeably struggled with his shot in two games last week- before the team ultimately opted […]

LeBron James To Sit Out Wednesday's Game

Los Angeles Lakers forward LeBron James (rest) will sit out Wednesday's game against the Kings. James has played 35-plus minutes in two of his last three games- and has taken up a workload on both ends of the floor in the absence of Anthony Davis (calf) that is reminiscent of his days in Cleveland and […]
