RJ Barrett Won't Play Friday

Toronto Raptors forward RJ Barrett (personal) is officially ruled out for Friday night's game against the Orlando Magic. Barrett will miss his fifth consecutive game to be with his family while mourning the death of his younger brother. Raptors head coach Darko Rajakovic confirmed the 23-year-old is without a return timetable yet and has the […]

Cameron Johnson Starting On Thursday

Brooklyn Nets forward Cameron Johnson will draw the starting nod versus the Milwaukee Bucks on Thursday. The Nets are still without Dorian Finney-Smith (ankle), which means Johnson gets another start. Johnson has played fairly well over the last few games. He has scored in double digits in four straight games. He's worth a look as […]

Torrey Craig Will Remain In Starting Five

Chicago Bulls forward Torrey Craig will remain in the starting five ahead of Thursday's game against the Houston Rockets. The assumption was that Craig would head to the bench with Coby White (hip) available for this game. Instead, Craig will remain in the starting unit while White comes off the bench. The veteran forward offers […]

Sam Hauser Expected To Return On Friday

Boston Celtics forward Sam Hauser (ankle) is probable for Friday's game in Detroit. He amassed a career-high 30 points in Sunday's blowout win over the Washington Wizards. Unfortunately, he sprained his ankle during the contest, ending his day after logging only 23 minutes. As a result, the 26-year-old sat out the C's previous two games. […]

Kessler Edwards Gets Starting Nod

Sacramento Kings guard/forward Kessler Edwards will move into the starting five ahead of Thursday's game against the Washington Wizards. Head coach Mike Brown has decided to shake up his lineup and have Edwards start with Keon Ellis heading to the second unit. Edwards has been extremely quiet this season and isn't worth looking at as […]

Kyle Kuzma Available On Thursday

Washington Wizards forward Kyle Kuzma (shoulder) isn't on the injury report ahead of Thursday's encounter with the Kings. He's been absent for a pair of games with a shoulder injury but appears to be ready to rejoin the action in a favorable fantasy matchup. Deni Avdija (knee) is questionable for the game, meaning Kuzma could […]

Dorian Finney-Smith Out Versus Bucks

Brooklyn Nets forward/center Dorian Finney-Smith (ankle) will come out of the lineup Thursday versus Milwaukee. He's played through an ankle issue for several weeks but won't be able to go on Thursday, missing his first game since Feb. 8. His absence is set to give Cameron Johnson a chance to shine. Johnson has done well […]

Wesley Matthews Questionable To Face Suns

Atlanta Hawks guard/forward Wesley Matthews (illness) is a question mark ahead of Thursday's matchup against the Suns. The veteran sniper is feeling under the weather and might not be able to play. With the team battling the injury bug, Matthews has started a couple of games lately, and Jalen Johnson's (ankle) injury has made him […]

Jalen Johnson Unavailable On Thursday

Atlanta Hawks forward Jalen Johnson (ankle) will miss Thursday's matchup against Phoenix. He has been ruled out for the contest after Johnson re-injured his right ankle in the previous game versus the Lakers. The 22-year-old recently missed three games with a right ankle sprain. Johnson's absence means more playing time off the bench for De'Andre […]

Amir Coffey Starting Against Portland

Los Angeles Clippers forward Amir Coffey will start in Wednesday's matchup with the Portland Trail Blazers. Terance Mann (shoulder) was injured during practice on Tuesday, while Norman Powell (leg) will miss his second straight contest. But now that Coffey will roll with the first five, DFS managers must keep him on the radar, especially since […]

Norman Powell Absent On Wednesday

Los Angeles Clippers guard/forward Norman Powell (leg) won't play on Wednesday night against Portland. He's battling a left leg contusion, so he's likely day-to-day. But since Powell is in the running to win the Sixth Man of the Year award, the Clippers will be without their top bench option. Terance Mann (shoulder) is also out […]

OG Anunoby Ruled Out Thursday

New York Knicks forward OG Anunoby (elbow) is ruled out for Thursday's game against the Denver Nuggets. He didn't play against Golden State on Monday because of a flare-up in his right elbow, which he recently returned from surgery on. Precious Achiuwa may get into the starting five in Anunoby's absence. 29-year-old Josh Hart may […]

Deni Avdija Questionable For Wednesday

Washington Wizards forward Deni Avdija (knee) is questionable for Wednesday's meeting with the visiting Kings. He's averaged a career-high 14.0 points, 6.9 rebounds, and 3.7 assists this season, so Washington has been without a vital piece of the offense. But if the 23-year-old doesn't return versus Sacramento, Corey Kispert, who had 16 points in Tuesday's […]

Zeke Nnaji Questionable For Thursday

Denver Nuggets forward/center Zeke Nnaji (back) is questionable for Thursday's tilt against the New York Knicks. He's suffering from lower back pain. The 23-year-old rarely sees over 10 minutes in a game, and he is averaging 3.2 points per contest. Nnaji's absence won't impact the Nuggets in any way, and the 2020 first-round draft pick […]

Doug McDermott Available Versus Pacers

Indiana Pacers forward Doug McDermott (calf) is available Wednesday against the Detroit Pistons. The veteran sharpshooter last played on February 26th and missed 10 consecutive contests due to a right calf strain. He has been average for the Pacers this season. When healthy, McDermott has averaged 4.7 points and 1.0 assists in 13.3 minutes per […]

Simone Fontecchio Unavailable Wednesday Against Indiana

Detroit Pistons forward Simone Fontecchio (toe) is ruled out for Wednesday's tilt with the Indiana Pacers. He will miss his third consecutive contest with a toe contusion. The Italian forward had been solid for the Pistons in March, averaging 15.7 points in 31.9 minutes before his injury. If the 28-year-old can return soon, he could […]

Nikola Jovic Back Versus Cleveland

Miami Heat forward Nikola Jovic (hamstring) will be available on Wednesday against Cleveland after missing the previous two games. He's shaken off a hamstring injury and a questionable tag. Jovic will likely make another start on Wednesday, with Kevin Love (heel) still out and Bam Adebayo (back) joining him on the shelf. However, Jovic's numbers […]

Sam Hauser To Remain Out On Wednesday

Boston Celtics forward Sam Hauser (ankle) will miss a second consecutive game on Wednesday against Milwaukee. The 26-year-old has landed on the shelf with a left ankle sprain, although Hauser was initially regarded as questionable for Wednesday, meaning he shouldn't be out for long. Hauser has massively benefited from Boston giving its big guns some […]

Jaylen Brown Good To Go On Wednesday

Boston Celtics guard/forward Jaylen Brown (ankle) has been cleared to play Wednesday versus the Bucks. He's missed a couple of games recently with health issues but is good to go for a second consecutive contest on Wednesday. Brown has averaged only 18.0 points against Milwaukee this season, but he's been in much better form recently […]

Jimmy Butler Cleared For Action Wednesday

Miami Heat forward Jimmy Butler (foot) will return to the lineup on Wednesday versus Cleveland. He will be back after missing two games with a foot contusion. We should see him take on a very large role, as Bam Adebayo (back) has been ruled out for the contest. Before getting hurt, Butler had upped his […]

Ausar Thompson Will Miss Rest Of Season

Detroit Pistons guard/forward Ausar Thompson will miss the rest of the 2023-24 regular season with a blood clot, reports Shams Charania of The Athletic. He's been out for the past five games, and unfortunately, Thompson will be forced to end his debut campaign early. The good news is that Thompson has been cleared to resume […]

Norman Powell Could Miss Another Game On Wednesday

Los Angeles Clippers guard/forward Norman Powell (leg) is questionable for Wednesday's matchup against the Trail Blazers. A left lower leg contusion took him out of the lineup for Sunday's game against Atlanta, and Powell could be out for a second consecutive game. With Powell missing, Amir Coffey saw the most minutes off the Clippers bench […]

Terance Mann Listed As Questionable On Wednesday

Los Angeles Clippers guard/forward Terance Mann (shoulder) is listed as questionable for Wednesday's matchup against Portland. He's dealing with a right shoulder strain and could be out of the lineup for the first time since early November. Norman Powell (leg) would benefit from Mann's absence but is also questionable for the game. If both players […]

Giannis Antetokounmpo Ruled Out For Clash With Boston

According to Shams Charania of The Athletic, Milwaukee Bucks forward/center Giannis Antetokounmpo (hamstring) won't play against Boston on Wednesday. He misses a second consecutive contest despite practicing the last couple of days. Bobby Portis is always a popular fantasy choice when Antetokounmpo sits, while Damian Lillard and Khris Middleton get more offensive responsibilities. Antetokounmpo won't […]

Sasha Vezenkov Listed As Questionable For Wednesday

Sacramento Kings forward Sasha Vezenkov (ankle) is on the injury report as questionable ahead of Wednesday's matchup against Toronto. Vezenkov is nearing a return from a long-term absence, as he hasn't seen any action since Feb. 9 due to a right ankle sprain. With him averaging only 12.6 minutes across the season, Vezenkov hasn't had […]

Kevin Huerter Unavailable On Wednesday

Sacramento Kings guard/forward Kevin Huerter (shoulder) has been ruled out for Wednesday's contest against the Raptors. He injured his left shoulder mere minutes into Monday's matchup against Memphis and has landed on the injury report with a dislocation of the shoulder, meaning Huerter could be out long-term. He will likely be replaced in the starting […]

Ausar Thompson Not Ready To Return On Wednesday

Detroit Pistons guard/forward Ausar Thompson (medical illness) will miss a sixth consecutive game on Wednesday versus the Pacers. He's relinquished his starting role to Simone Fontecchio (toe), but the Italian forward was also out on Monday versus Boston and is questionable to face Indiana. Stanley Umude has been a big beneficiary of Detroit's recent lineup […]

Quentin Grimes Misses Fourth Straight Game

Detroit Pistons guard/forward Quentin Grimes (knee) will remain sidelined for Wednesday's matchup against Indiana. The 23-year-old has played in only two of the past nine games as he continues to deal with a right knee issue. Grimes' absence has opened the door for Stanley Umude to start logging meaningful minutes. He even linked up with […]

RJ Barrett Remains Out Of Raptors Lineup

Toronto Raptors guard/forward RJ Barrett (personal) will miss a fourth consecutive game on Wednesday versus Sacramento. He recently lost his younger brother Nathan, and it's unclear when Barrett will be available again for the Raptors. Bruce Brown has played a bigger part in the rotation during Barrett's absence, while Gradey Dick has nailed down a […]

Lauri Markkanen Heads Back To The Shelf Wednesday

Utah Jazz forward Lauri Markkanen (quadriceps) won't play against the Thunder on Wednesday. He will be back on the sidelines after returning from a six-game absence on Monday versus Minnesota. Markkanen was out with a quadriceps contusion and will miss Wednesday's clash for maintenance purposes. Brice Sensabaugh should move back into the first unit to […]
