Nikola Jovic Sits Out Second Consecutive Game

Miami Heat forward Nikola Jovic (hamstring) will miss a second consecutive game on Monday versus Philadelphia. The young forward has suffered a right hamstring strain. Following Sunday's win over Detroit, Jovic said he feels like he can get back on the court soon, so it's possible the 20-year-old can return on Wednesday versus Cleveland. His […]

Jimmy Butler Ruled Out Monday

Miami Heat forward Jimmy Butler (foot) has been downgraded from questionable to out for Monday's matchup against Philadelphia. The Heat star sits out a second consecutive contest with a foot contusion. Butler's absence boosts the fantasy value of Jaime Jaquez Jr., who moved to the starting unit on Sunday versus Detroit. Meanwhile, it also secures […]

Simone Fontecchio Unavailable Monday

Detroit Pistons forward Simone Fontecchio (toe) will miss Monday's meeting with the Celtics. He was initially labeled as questionable for the game but has now been ruled out with a toe contusion. The Italian forward got hurt at the worst possible time, as Fontecchio has enjoyed a very good run in the team, averaging 15.7 […]

Jonathan Isaac Off The Injury Report

Orlando Magic forward Jonathan Isaac (knee) isn't listed on the injury report for Tuesday's matchup with Charlotte, suggesting he will play. The 26-year-old didn't suit up against Toronto on Sunday, although nobody should be surprised at this point whenever he sits out. But he's at least played 46 games this season, his most since 2018-19. […]

Vince Williams Jr. Doubtful To Face Kings

Memphis Grizzlies guard/forward Vince Williams Jr. (knee) is considered doubtful to play against Sacramento on Monday. He continues to deal with a left patellar issue that has kept him sidelined for four games. Before getting hurt, the 23-year-old was riding great momentum as one of the focal points of the team's offense. Desmond Bane's return […]

Doug McDermott To Remain Absent On Monday

Indiana Pacers forward Doug McDermott (calf) will remain out of the lineup on Monday versus Cleveland. We haven't seen the sharpshooter on the court since Feb. 26, and Monday will mark his 10th consecutive absence. With McDermott unavailable, Jarace Walker and Obi Toppin have a chance to earn more minutes as backup forwards, while Ben […]

LeBron James Continues To Carry A Questionable Tag Monday

Los Angeles Lakers forward LeBron James (ankle) is once again considered questionable as the team prepares to face the Hawks on Monday night. James recently had to skip a game with a troublesome left ankle, but he's logged 38-plus minutes in all three games since returning, and the questionable designation tends to be more of […]

Fantasy Basketball Early-Week Streamers: Week 21

After an exciting start, it's already Week 21 of the 2023-2024 NBA season. While you want to have faith in the players you drafted, don't get too attached. You may feel confident about your draft decisions, but remember: stars are born and eroded every day. Take a moment to see what's on the other side […]

Cam Reddish Ruled Out Again Monday

Los Angeles Lakers guard/forward Cam Reddish (ankle) has been ruled out again for the fourth consecutive game. The Pennsylvania native will miss his 29th game of the season as he's dealt with an array of lower body injuries this season. Due to his inconsistent health, he hasn't been able to establish a consistent role when […]

Sam Hauser Undergoes X-rays On Sunday

Boston Celtics forward Sam Hauser (ankle) had a stellar game in Sunday's win over the Washington Wizards. The C's were down Jaylen Brown (ankle), Kristaps Porzingis (hamstring), and Derrick White (hand). As a result, the door was open for others to get more involved. While Jayson Tatum stuffed the stat sheet, as expected, Hauser amassed […]

OG Anunoby Iffy For Monday

New York Knicks forward OG Anunoby (elbow) has drawn another questionable tag ahead of Monday night. Initially, there were some reports about the team taking it easy on Anunoby during his first few games or so, but that hasn't been the case yet. In his first three games back, he's played 28, 35, and 33 […]

Lauri Markkanen May Miss Seventh Consecutive Game

Utah Jazz forward Lauri Markkanen (quad) has been tagged as questionable ahead of their Monday night contest against the Minnesota Timberwolves. The 26-year-old hasn't played since March 2 due to a right quadriceps contusion. After being named an All-Star last season for the first time, Markkanen was building upon that with another fantastic season this […]

Matisse Thybulle Questionable Against Bulls

Portland Trail Blazers guard Matisse Thybulle (ankle) is listed as questionable against the Chicago Bulls on Monday. Due to the high amount of injuries that this team has faced this season, Thybulle has been playing a lot more than he did the previous year. Two members of the backcourt have already been ruled out and […]

Jerami Grant Expected To Miss Fourth Straight Game

Portland Trail Blazers forward Jerami Grant (hamstring) has received a doubtful status on the injury report for Monday night. The veteran wing is still suffering from a strained right hamstring that seems to be too painful to take the court just yet. There's a very small chance he plays if the hamstring isn't giving him […]

Dean Wade Doubtful Versus Indiana

Cleveland Cavaliers forward Dean Wade (knee) isn't expected to play on Monday against Indiana. The 27-year-old missed time recently for a personal issue. But as soon as he got off the injury report, he went right back on because of knee soreness. With Evan Mobley (ankle) and Max Strus (knee) out, Wade would have been […]

Dorian Finney-Smith Good To Go On Sunday

Brooklyn Nets forward Dorian Finney-Smith (ankle) will play against San Antonio on Sunday. He's been battling left ankle soreness, but the team has upgraded Finney-Smith from probable to available. The 30-year-old is enjoying a good month and should have a productive evening against an up-tempo team that usually struggles defensively. Finney-Smith has averaged 11.3 points, […]

Max Strus Out Again On Monday

Cleveland Cavaliers forward Max Strus (knee) remains out on Monday versus the Pacers. The 27-year-old has averaged a career-high 12.2 points, 4.7 rebounds, and 3.8 assists this season. But he's missed the Cavs' last seven games because of a sprained right knee. With Cleveland also down Donovan Mitchell (knee), Isaac Okoro and Sam Merrill should […]

Sam Hauser, Oshae Brissett Join Boston's Starting Unit

Boston Celtics forwards Sam Hauser and Oshae Brissett will join the starting lineup on Sunday against Washington. The two get a promotion to the first unit following injuries to Derrick White (hand) and Jaylen Brown (ankle). Brissett is starting for the first time this season, while Hauser will be rolling with starters for an eighth […]

Cedi Osman Returns To Spurs Lineup On Sunday

San Antonio Spurs forward Cedi Osman (ankle) will be back in the lineup on Sunday against Brooklyn. The team has upgraded Osman from questionable to available. 28-year-old will return from a four-game absence. Osman's return adds some quality to the Spurs bench, but he hasn't played a very big part in the rotation. Julian Champagnie, […]

Tobias Harris Questionable For Monday's Game

Philadelphia 76ers forward Tobias Harris (ankle) has been listed as questionable for Monday's matchup against Miami. Harris missed Saturday's game against Charlotte with a right ankle sprain and couldn't practice on Sunday. The questionable tag leaves his status up in the air, but it's looking likely Harris will miss a second consecutive game. Nicolas Batum […]

Jonathan Isaac Won't Play On Sunday

Orlando Magic forward Jonathan Isaac (knee) will come out of the lineup on Sunday versus Toronto. After playing in six of the last seven games, Isaac misses Sunday's action with left knee injury maintenance. Isaac has been very productive lately, averaging 10.4 points, 5.6 rebounds, and 1.8 blocks in 18.6 minutes. Caleb Houstan should grab […]

RJ Barrett Remains Unavailable Sunday

Toronto Raptors guard/forward RJ Barrett (personal) will remain out of the lineup on Sunday against Orlando. He's mourning the passing of his younger brother and is without a timeline for a return. Sunday's matchup will be the third straight contest Barrett misses. Bruce Brown's role has increased during Barrett's absence. He's a great fantasy asset […]

Bilal Coulibaly Unavailable On Sunday

Washington Wizards guard/forward Bilal Coulibaly (wrist) has been ruled out for Sunday's matchup against Boston. He comes out of the lineup with a right wrist sprain after being initially regarded as questionable for the contest. The Wizards are now officially without all of their starters, leaving the keys to the offense to Jordan Poole and […]

Kyle Kuzma Won't Play On Sunday

Washington Wizards forward Kyle Kuzma (shoulder) will sit out Sunday's contest against Boston. Kuzma had 11 points with five rebounds and four assists in 29 minutes against Chicago on Saturday but landed on the injury report with left shoulder soreness. He was initially listed as questionable for Sunday's game, but Wizards head coach Brian Keefe […]

Deni Avdija Remains Out On Sunday

Washington Wizards forward Deni Avdija (knee) will sit out a second consecutive game on Sunday versus Boston. He was a late scratch on Saturday against Chicago and will miss another game with a right knee contusion. Avdija's absence is set to give Corey Kispert another start. He was Washington's top scorer on Saturday with 16 […]

Jimmy Butler Sidelined Versus Detroit

Miami Heat forward Jimmy Butler (foot) won't play on Sunday in the rematch with Detroit. Butler has been banged up all season, which is nothing unusual. While he's just as productive as ever, he'll miss his 20th game versus the Pistons. It appears there's a chance he'll be back in the lineup on Monday versus […]

Kyle Anderson Available Saturday

Minnesota Timberwolves forward Kyle Anderson (shoulder) is available for Saturday's game against the Utah Jazz. Anderson suited up on Friday but has been dealing with a shoulder issue. He could make a considerable impact, with Minnesota missing Karl-Anthony Towns (knee) and Rudy Gobert (ribs). The 30-year-old could be a starter versus the Jazz, averaging 6.3 […]

Deni Avdija Scratched On Saturday

Washington Wizards forward Deni Avdija (knee) has been ruled out ahead of Saturday's game against the Chicago Bulls. Unfortunately for fantasy managers, Avdija was ruled out minutes before tip-off on Saturday. Instead, Corey Kispert will move into the starting five with Avdija unavailable for this game. A shift to the starting five should give Kispert […]

MarJon Beauchamp Questionable To Play Sunday

Milwaukee Bucks guard/forward MarJon Beauchamp (back) carries a questionable tag ahead of Sunday's matchup against Phoenix. He's been battling back spasms lately and could be unavailable for a third straight game. Beauchaump's absence wouldn't typically hurt Milwaukee, but Giannis Antetokounmpo (hamstring) and Malik Beasley (back) are also questionable for Sunday. The 23-year-old would be a […]

Khris Middleton On Track To Return Sunday

Milwaukee Bucks forward Khris Middleton (ankle) isn't on the injury report for Sunday's contest against Phoenix, which signals he's ready to return to the lineup. Middleton last played on Feb. 6 and has missed the past 16 games with a left ankle sprain. Jae Crowder has been filling in for him in the starting unit […]
