The 22-year-old logged five minutes in Wednesday's double-overtime loss to the Sacramento Kings before exiting with a sprained ankle, finishing with six points. However, he'll now miss his first game of the year, although there's a chance his absence could extend beyond Friday's […]

Khris Middleton Won't Return On Thursday

Milwaukee Bucks forward Khris Middleton (knee, wrist) won't return to Thursday's game against the San Antonio Spurs. For the first time this season, Middleton played in both games of the back-to-back set. However, the Bucks decided to shut him down for the second half of Thursday's game. His removal seems like it was precautionary, so […]

Kevin Durant Considered Questionable For Friday

Phoenix Suns forward Kevin Durant (hamstring) is listed as questionable for Friday's game against the Miami Heat. The All-Star forward is working his way back from a right hamstring strain. The good news is, Durant was able to get through a limited practice session on Thursday. That means, the veteran forward is trending in the […]

Gary Harris Suffers Calf Injury Versus Kings

Orlando Magic guard/forward Gary Harris had to cut his night short against the Kings on Wednesday due to a right calf strain. He logged 12 minutes as a starter, posting five points with one steal. Harris' addition pushed Anthony Black to the bench for the first time since early November, but he should be back […]

Malaki Branham Doubtful For Thursday's Game

San Antonio Spurs guard/forward Malaki Branham (ankle) is unlikely to play Thursday versus Milwaukee. The team has listed him as doubtful for the game after Branham sprained his right ankle in Tuesday's clash with the Grizzlies. Branham played just seven minutes on Tuesday, and the injury ended a nice run of double-digit scoring he had […]

Gary Payton II Faces New Spell On The Sidelines

Golden State Warriors guard/forward Gary Payton II is expected to miss several weeks with a left hamstring strain. He has just returned from missing a month with a calf injury, and Payton II, unfortunately, lands back on the shelf after playing only a total of 20 minutes in two games. The 31-year-old has been limited […]

Grant Williams Exits Early With An Ankle Sprain

Dallas Mavericks forward Grant Williams couldn't finish Wednesday's game against Portland due to a right ankle sprain. He logged 15 minutes in a blowout win, scoring two points while registering two rebounds and two assists.

Wagner finished the contest with six points and two rebounds. He's been a key man all year of the Magic, with averages of 20.9 points, 5.9 rebounds, and 3.9 assists. X-rays on Wagner's […]

Nuggets vs. Warriors NBA DFS Showdown Slate Picks, Value Plays - Thursday Jan 4th

Happy Thursday, RotoBallers! Welcome back to our weekly showdown. Last week, we had a few solid plays, but the value busted. Max Christie really surprised everyone as he crushed his price with only around 1% ownership. Nick Richards was one of the best plays on the board, but Austin Reaves hurt my lineups. We don't […]

Cam Reddish To Start On Wednesday

Los Angeles Lakers forward Cam Reddish (groin) will move into the starting five ahead of Wednesday's game against the Miami Heat. Reddish will make his return to the court after missing their last game due to groin soreness. He'll move into the starting unit due to the fact Rui Hachimura (calf) has been ruled out. […]

Josh Green Moves Into Starting Five

Dallas Mavericks forward Josh Green will move into the starting five ahead of Wednesday's game against the Portland Trail Blazers. The Mavs will be without Dante Exum (heel), so Green will shift into the starting unit. The move to the starting five should boost Green's fantasy value. However, his fantasy ceiling is going to be […]

Toumani Camara Questionable For Meeting With Dallas

Portland Trail Blazers forward Toumani Camara (knee) is questionable for Wednesday's matchup against the Mavericks. The 23-year-old rookie is dealing with right knee soreness and could be forced to take a seat for a second consecutive game. Camara missed his first action of the season Monday versus the Suns. He was forced to exit the […]

Dillon Brooks Remains Sidelined Wednesday

Houston Rockets guard/forward Dillon Brooks (oblique) will sit out a fourth consecutive game on Wednesday versus Brooklyn. Brooks doesn't have a clear timetable for his return, but Rockets head coach Ime Udoka has said that the defensive pest isn't dealing with a long-term issue. Jae'Sean Tate has joined the starters in Brooks' absence. Following a […]

Tari Eason Listed As Questionable Wednesday

Houston Rockets forward Tari Eason (leg) remains on the injury report as questionable ahead of Wednesday's home game against the Nets. He's carried the tag around with him for a few games now, but Eason has featured in five straight contests. The 22-year-old is dealing with soreness in his left lower leg. Jae'Sean Tate and […]

Danilo Gallinari Questionable Wednesday

Washington Wizards forward Danilo Gallinari (back) is considered questionable for Wednesday's matchup against Cleveland. The veteran is having trouble with a lower back spasm. This season has been a comeback campaign for Gallinari after he missed the entire 2022-23 with a knee injury. He's averaged 14.8 minutes for the rebuilding Wizards, recording 7.0 points and […]

Jimmy Butler Sidelined Again On Wednesday

Miami Heat forward Jimmy Butler (foot) remains out on Wednesday versus the Lakers. The veteran didn't suit up on Monday against the Clippers due to a foot injury suffered on Saturday in Utah. Butler has averaged 21.0 points, 5.0 rebounds, 4.5 assists, and 1.0 steals this season. However, he's battled various ailments during the 2023-24 […]

Khris Middleton Questionable Versus Indiana

Milwaukee Bucks forward Khris Middleton (knee, wrist) is questionable for Wednesday's Central Division outing with the Indiana Pacers. The Bucks will head to San Antonio to meet the Spurs on Thursday, so it wouldn't be surprising if Middleton is ruled out against Indiana. But either way, he'll likely sit out one of those contests. Without […]

Kevin Durant Ruled Out For Wednesday

Phoenix Suns forward Kevin Durant (hamstring) has been ruled out ahead of Wednesday's game against the Los Angeles Clippers. The Suns will rule him out a full day in advance as Durant will miss his second straight contest due to right hamstring soreness. It wouldn't be shocking to see the superstar forward will more time […]

Cody Martin Moves Into Starting Five

Charlotte Hornets forward Cody Martin will shift into the starting five ahead of Tuesday's game against the Sacramento Kings. The Hornets are going to be shorthanded for this game with Brandon Miller (hip) unable to play. As a result, Martin will move into the starting five and should see a boost in usage. He's not […]

Brandon Miller Ruled Out For Tuesday

Charlotte Hornets forward Brandon Miller (hip) has been ruled out ahead of Tuesday's game against the Sacramento Kings. The rookie forward wasn't on the original injury report, but will ultimately sit this game out due to a left hip contusion. The Hornets are already shorthanded, which means Nick Smith Jr. could be asked to make […]

RJ Barrett Starts Life In Toronto With Near Double-Double

Toronto Raptors guard/forward RJ Barrett debuted for the team with a 19-point, nine-rebound effort in a 124-121 win over Cleveland on Monday. He shot an efficient 6-for-12 from the field and 6-for-8 at the line in 29 minutes as a starter. It was a solid debut for Barrett, who was 1-for-2 with the three-ball, but […]

Keldon Johnson Probable For Tuesday's Action

San Antonio Spurs guard/forward Keldon Johnson (back) is on track to return to the lineup Tuesday against Memphis. He was unavailable on New Year's Eve versus Boston due to back spasms. Johnson has been leading San Antonio's second unit lately, although he's still seen starter's minutes, and the 24-year-old has remained effective. He's averaged 20.0 […]

Lonnie Walker IV Remains Out On Tuesday

Brooklyn Nets guard/forward Lonnie Walker IV (hamstring) won't return to the court Tuesday versus New Orleans. He's been trending towards a return, but unfortunately, still isn't good to go. Walker IV missed the entire December and has been absent for 15 games in total. Before running into health issues, the 25-year-old enjoyed a very good […]

Trey Murphy III Questionable For Tuesday

New Orleans Pelicans forward Trey Murphy III (knee) could be sidelined for a second consecutive game, with the team listing him as questionable for Tuesday's action versus Brooklyn. Murphy III has a sore left knee. A meniscus injury in the same knee forced him to sit out the start of the season, so the team […]

Jonathan Isaac To Sit Out On Tuesday

Orlando Magic forward Jonathan Isaac (hamstring) will remain on the sideline for Tuesday's game against the Golden State Warriors. Isaac will now miss his fifth game in a row due to a right hamstring strain. The Magic are likely going to be extremely cautious with the oft-injured forward. That means, Isaac will likely be on […]

Joe Ingles To Remain Out On Tuesday

Orlando Magic forward Joe Ingles (ankle) will remain sidelined for Tuesday's game against the Golden State Warriors. This marks the ninth game in a row that Ingles has missed due to a left ankle sprain. To be fair, the veteran forward wasn't bringing a ton to the table when healthy. Fantasy managers should expect the […]

OG Anunoby Looks Strong In Team Debut

New York Knicks forward OG Anunoby made his team debut during Monday's game against the Minnesota Timberwolves. It looks like the Knicks got exactly what they needed as Anunoby displayed a strong defensive ability with reliable catch-and-shoot accuracy. He finished Monday's game with 17 points, six rebounds, and one assist with three 3-pointers in the […]

Kawhi Leonard Will Suit Up Versus Miami

Los Angeles Clippers forward Kawhi Leonard (hip) will play on Monday against the Miami Heat. The 32-year-old has had another productive season, averaging 24.4 points, 5.9 rebounds, and 1.5 steals. Unfortunately, he missed the Clippers' previous four games because of a hip contusion. However, he's practiced fully over the last few days, so he's good […]

Caleb Martin Remains Sidelined Versus The Clippers

Miami Heat forward Caleb Martin (ankle) remains out for Monday's battle with the Los Angeles Clippers. The 28-year-old has averaged a career-high 11.0 points, 5.1 rebounds, 1.8 assists, and 1.2 steals this season. Unfortunately, he's battled various injuries, so his time on the floor has been limited during the 2023-24 campaign. The Heat could have […]

Shaedon Sharpe Upgraded To Active With Minute Restriction

Portland Trail Blazers guard Shaedon Sharpe (groin) has been upgraded from questionable to available for Monday's game against the Phoenix Suns. According to head coach Chauncey Billups, Sharpe will be on a minute restriction in this game. Fantasy managers depending on Sharpe will want to temper expectations after Billups didn't specify how many minutes he'll […]
