Bruce Brown Misses Third Consecutive Game
Indiana Pacers guard/forward Bruce Brown (knee) will be sidelined for a third consecutive game Thursday versus Chicago.

Jayson Tatum Could Miss Thursday's Action
Boston Celtics forward Jayson Tatum (ankle) could sit out Thursday's outing versus Detroit as the Eastern Conference leaders start a back-to-back. The Celtics are trying to manage a left ankle sprain with Tatum, and a matchup against the worst team in the league could be an ideal spot for taking a night off. He's officially […]
Jaylen Brown Questionable For Thursday
Boston Celtics guard/forward Jaylen Brown (back) is considered questionable for Thursday's encounter with the Pistons. He suffered a lower back contusion in a collision with LeBron James on Monday. Brown had no trouble finishing the game against the Lakers, but he is in danger of missing his second contest of the season. Sam Hauser is […]
Ausar Thompson Listed As Probable Thursday
Detroit Pistons guard/forward Ausar Thompson (illness)is listed as probable ahead of Thursday's meeting with the Celtics. The 20-year-old is battling an illness, which limited him to just nine minutes last time out against Brooklyn.

Brandon Miller Uncertain For Thursday
Charlotte Hornets forward Brandon Miller (ankle) is currently listed as questionable for Thursday's game against the Los Angeles Lakers. The rookie forward sat out of Tuesday's game due to a right ankle sprain. Bryce McGowens took over for Miller in the starting five on Tuesday.

Gordon Hayward Won't Play On Thursday
Charlotte Hornets forward Gordon Hayward (calf) has been ruled out for Thursday's game against the Los Angeles Lakers.

Milwaukee Bucks forward/center Giannis Antetokounmpo is considered questionable for Wednesday's meeting with Brooklyn. The former MVP could be unavailable for a second time this season following a 39-minute Christmas outing against the Knicks.

Joe Ingles Could Miss A Sixth Consecutive Game
Orlando Magic forward Joe Ingles (ankle) remains on the injury report ahead of Wednesday's battle with the 76ers, with the team listing him as questionable. The 36-year-old missed a fifth consecutive game on Tuesday versus Washington. The injuries have steadily piled up for the Magic, resulting in a couple of starters getting close to 40 […]
Jonathan Isaac Listed As Questionable Wednesday
Orlando Magic forward Jonathan Isaac (hamstring) is regarded as questionable for Wednesday's matchup against Philadelphia. Orlando is finishing a back-to-back, and Isaac didn't play Tuesday versus Washington. The injury-prone forward has averaged only 13.6 minutes for the season and isn't a big miss from the rotation. However, with Gary Harris (calf) on the injury report […]
Gary Harris Questionable Wednesday
Orlando Magic guard/forward Gary Harris (calf) is questionable for Wednesday's tilt against Philadelphia. Following Tuesday's 19-minute shift versus Washington, Harris has landed on the injury report with a right calf strain. After Jalen Suggs returned to the lineup, Harris was back in a bench role against the Wizards, contributing three points. Cole Anthony should see […]
Nicolas Batum Misses Fourth Consecutive Game
Philadelphia 76ers forward Nicolas Batum (hamstring) has been ruled out for a fourth consecutive game ahead of the team's visit to Orlando. Batum's numbers haven't been anything special this season, but he's been a starter for Philadelphia, and the team definitely misses his presence. Kelly Oubre Jr. has moved into the starting unit in Batum's […]
Brandon Miller Unavailable Versus Clippers
Charlotte Hornets forward Brandon Miller (ankle) has been ruled out for Tuesday's game against the Los Angeles Clippers. The rookie forward will sit out this game after injuring his ankle during Saturday's loss to the Denver Nuggets. Bryce McGowens is expected to enter the starting five in the absence of Miller. McGowens should see increased […]
Kawhi Leonard To Miss Third Straight Game
Los Angeles Clippers forward Kawhi Leonard (hip) has been ruled out for Tuesday's game against the Charlotte Hornets. The superstar forward will miss his third game in a row due to a left hip contusion. The Clippers are calling it a day-to-day issue, so hopefully Leonard will be back in the lineup for their next […]
Jalen Johnson Poised To Return On Tuesday
Atlanta Hawks forward Jalen Johnson (wrist) is expected to be back on the court Tuesday versus the Bulls. He's been unavailable for a month with a left wrist injury, missing 14 games. Johnson has broken into the starting unit this season and has enjoyed a breakout campaign with 14.1 points, 7.3 rebounds, 1.0 blocks, and […]
Joe Ingles Questionable For Tuesday's Game
Orlando Magic forward Joe Ingles (ankle) continues to carry a questionable tag as the team gets set to resume its season on Tuesday versus Washington. The veteran from Australia has missed four games with a left ankle sprain. Ingles hasn't played a huge role for the Magic, but his absence has coincided with the team's […]
LeBron James Questionable For Christmas Game
Los Angeles Lakers forward LeBron James (ankle) is regarded as questionable for a clash with Boston on Christmas Day. James sat out a game last week with left ankle peroneal tendinopathy, but he's been playing through health issues for most of the season, and it would be a surprise if he didn't suit up on […]
Kentavious Caldwell-Pope Likely To Play On Monday
Denver Nuggets guard/forward Kentavious Caldwell-Pope (back) is considered probable for Monday's Christmas outing against the Warriors. The two-time NBA champion was recently kept out of action for a couple of games by a concussion, and he's now dealing with a cervicothoracic strain. However, it looks likely that Caldwell-Pope will remain in the lineup for a […]

Andrew Wiggins Questionable Versus Denver
Golden State Warriors forward Andrew Wiggins (illness) is questionable for Monday's meeting with the Denver Nuggets. He's battling a non-COVID-related illness, keeping him off the floor for the Warriors' previous two games versus Portland and Washington. At any rate, Wiggins has struggled this season, averaging a career-low 12.3 points with 4.6 rebounds and 1.1 assists, […]
Jimmy Butler Questionable For Monday
Miami Heat forward Jimmy Butler (calf) is questionable for the Christmas meeting with the Philadelphia 76ers. Butler has missed the Heat's previous two games because of a left calf strain, allowing Jaime Jaquez Jr. to enter the starting lineup. The rookie has played well in his six appearances as a starter this season, averaging 12.7 […]
Julian Champagnie Moves Into Starting Five
San Antonio Spurs forward Julian Champagnie will move into the starting five ahead of Saturday's game against the Dallas Mavericks. It appears head coach Gregg Popovich has decided to shake up his starting unit. Forward Keldon Johnson (back) came into this game listed as probable. There is no word on him being out, so the […]
Toumani Camara Available On Saturday
Portland Trail Blazers forward Toumani Camara (thumb) is available for Saturday's game against the Golden State Warriors. The rookie forward was listed as probable coming into this game due to a right thumb sprain. The expectation is that Camara will resume his normal role in the starting five. He doesn't offer a ton of fantasy […]
Brandon Miller Won't Return On Saturday
Charlotte Hornets forward Brandon Miller (ankle) won't return to Saturday's game against the Denver Nuggets. The rookie forward was cleared to return, but the Hornets have decided to hold him out for the rest of the game. The hope is that this is a minor issue and Miller won't miss anymore action outside of Saturday's […]
Andrew Wiggins Might Miss Another Game
Golden State Warriors forward Andrew Wiggins (illness) is questionable for Saturday's matchup with the Trail Blazers. The veteran is battling a non-COVID-related illness, which kept him off the floor on Friday night versus the Wizards. As a result, Trayce Jackson-Davis got more work, logging 25 minutes, and finished with 15 rebounds, 10 points, and one […]
Kawhi Leonard Out Again On Saturday
Los Angeles Clippers forward Kawhi Leonard (hip) won't play in Saturday's meeting with the Boston Celtics. The 32-year-old has remained relatively healthy all season, which is good news for fantasy managers. Unfortunately, he's battling a hip contusion, so he'll miss a second straight contest. Nonetheless, Amir Coffey will likely continue to fill the void. Coffey […]
Joe Ingles Continues To Be Troubled By An Ankle Sprain
Orlando Magic forward Joe Ingles (ankle) could be out for a fourth consecutive game on Saturday against Indiana. He's nursing a left ankle sprain, and the team has listed him as questionable for the game. Caleb Houstan has mostly filled his minutes off the bench, albeit with very little productivity. Pacers games are juicy spots […]
Cody Martin Could Make His Season Debut On Saturday
Charlotte Hornets guard/forward Cody Martin (knee) is listed as questionable for Saturday's clash with the Nuggets. The 28-year-old has yet to play in 2023-24, but it looks like he could be ready for his season debut. Martin made only seven appearances a season ago and hasn't appeared in the NBA since Jan. 14 due to […]
