Jimmy Butler Expected To Play On Saturday

Miami Heat forward Jimmy Butler (ankle) is in line to suit up for Saturday's showdown with the Indiana Pacers. Butler has been a routine fixture of the league's official injury report throughout the year, so fantasy managers are used to this. The 24-year-old did have a rough start to the 2023-24 campaign. But he's turned […]

Andre Jackson Jr. May Miss Meeting With The Hawks

Milwaukee Bucks guard/forward Andre Jackson Jr. (back) could miss Saturday's contest versus the Atlanta Hawks. He's battling lower back spasms, so he's in danger of being ruled out for the first time in nearly a month. That said, the rookie has averaged just 2.3 points during the 2023-24 campaign, meaning he wouldn't be included in […]

Pat Connaughton Out Again On Saturday

Milwaukee Bucks guard/forward Pat Connaughton (ankle) remains out for Saturday's game versus the visiting Hawks. The 30-year-old will now miss his second consecutive contest because of a sprained right ankle. That said, he's averaged only 5.8 points this season, so his absence wouldn't impact many fantasy managers. Nevertheless, without Connaughton in the lineup, rookie Andre […]

Lauri Markkanen Remains Out On Saturday

Utah Jazz forward Lauri Markkanen (hamstring) will miss a fifth consecutive game Saturday versus Portland. He's recovering from a hamstring strain, and muscle injuries are notoriously tricky to overcome, so it's not fully clear when the Finnish forward will be ready for action again. Simone Fontecchio has broken into the starting unit following Markkanen's injury […]

Royce O'Neale Back On Saturday

Brooklyn Nets guard/forward Royce O'Neale (hip) has been removed from the injury report ahead of Saturday's encounter with Orlando. After sitting out one game, the 30-year-old appears ready to return to the lineup. O'Neale had a couple of outstanding scoring outings before suffering a hip contusion, putting up 38 total points in meetings with Chicago […]

Lonnie Walker IV Out On Saturday

Brooklyn Nets guard/forward Lonnie Walker IV (hamstring) won't feature against the Magic on Saturday. He will miss his second contest of the campaign due to a left hamstring strain. Walker IV's absence means Brooklyn will be without their fourth-best scorer. The 24-year-old has been among the league's most prolific bench players this season with a […]

Ausar Thompson Probable Against Cleveland

Detroit Pistons forward Ausar Thompson (face) is expected to play in Saturday's Central Division showdown with the Cleveland Cavaliers. The rookie suffered a facial fracture in Thursday's matchup against the New York Knicks, limiting him to just 13 minutes. However, it appears he will be good to go, although he'll likely wear a protective face […]

Bojan Bogdanovic Likely To Return On Saturday

Detroit Pistons forward Bojan Bogdanovic (calf) is expected to play in Saturday's contest against the Cleveland Cavaliers. The 34-year-old had the best season of his lengthy career in 2022-23, averaging 21.6 points and shooting 41.1% from behind the three-point line. However, he hasn't played this season because of a calf strain. Nevertheless, Bogdanovic's return could […]

Brandon Miller Battling An Ankle Issue

Charlotte Hornets forward Brandon Miller (ankle) is questionable ahead of Saturday's game against the Minnesota Timberwolves. The rookie didn't play in Thursday's narrow win over the Brooklyn Nets. As a result, Bryce McGowens took his spot in the lineup. McGowens played only 22 minutes. However, he still scored 14 points, going 5-for-7 from the field […]

Andrew Wiggins Questionable For Rematch With The Clippers

Golden State Warriors forward Andrew Wiggins (finger) is questionable for Saturday's rematch with the Clippers. He was ruled out for Thursday's meeting with Los Angeles due to right finger soreness. But considering he has a shot of playing, it suggests the injury isn't severe. In any event, if Wiggins misses another contest, Moses Moody, who […]

DeMar DeRozan Uncertain To Play Against Pelicans On Saturday

Chicago Bulls forward DeMar DeRozan (ankle) was able to do a little more at practice on Friday than he did on Saturday and head coach Billy Donovan said that he'll likely be listed as questionable for Saturday's game. DeRozan's ankle issue isn't as serious as Zach LaVine's foot injury, so there is an outside chance […]

Pat Connaughton Ruled Out On Saturday

Milwaukee Bucks forward Pat Connaughton (ankle) has officially been ruled out for Saturday's game against the Atlanta Hawks as he deals with a right ankle sprain. This will be just the second game that this ankle sprain forced him to miss, but the rest of the team has been on the healthier side lately. As […]

Keegan Murray Practices On Friday

Sacramento Kings forward Keegan Murray (back) has missed the last four consecutive games as he deals with a back injury but he is officially trending in the right direction. Murray was able to practice as a full participant on Friday and the team will wait until later on in the day to see how he […]

Doug McDermott Will Not Play Against Pelicans

San Antonio Spurs forward Doug McDermott (illness) has been ruled out of the team's Friday night contest against the New Orleans Pelicans. The veteran forward would have seen some extra time since Victor Wembanyama (hip) is out, but the frontcourt will now be quite thin. Cedi Osman, Julian Champagnie, and Keldon Johnson will likely see […]

Devin Booker Will Sit Out Against Nuggets On Friday

Phoenix Suns guard Devin Booker (ankle) will miss another game on Friday against the reigning NBA Champs. This time, he's dealing with a right ankle sprain and this will be his ninth missed game so far this season. Grayson Allen, fortunately, is back so he'll likely move into the starting five while Jordan Goodwin should […]

Jonathan Isaac Tagged As Questionable On Friday

Orlando Magic forward Jonathan Isaac (ankle) received the questionable tag again on Friday for their game against the Washington Wizards. The 26-year-old has battled quite a few injuries over the years but has surpassed the number of appearances he made last season. In his limited playing time, he's posted averages of 6.6 points, 4.4 rebounds, […]

Nicolas Batum Probable To Play Against Celtics

Philadelphia 76ers forward Nicolas Batum (finger) has been listed as probable to play on Friday against the Boston Celtics despite dealing with some lingering finger pain. The 34-year-old has become an important contributor on his new team and has received his most minutes per contest since the 2020-21 season. Batum still seems to be more […]

Zach LaVine Will Miss One Week With Foot Soreness

Chicago Bulls guard Zach LaVine (foot) will miss at least one week due to right-foot soreness, according to the team. At this point, the Bulls are starting to lean towards hitting the reset button, and LaVine is their biggest trade piece. They're likely trying to protect their asset, so he'll have the week off while […]

Pat Connaughton Out On Thursday

Milwaukee Bucks guard/forward Pat Connaughton (ankle) won't be available to face the Bulls on Thursday. The 30-year-old sniper sprained his right ankle in Tuesday's battle with Miami and will miss his first game of the season. Connaughton has been one of the first guys off the bench for Milwaukee, averaging 23.1 minutes per game. Youngsters […]

Zach LaVine Iffy For Thursday's Action

Chicago Bulls guard/forward Zach LaVine (foot) continues to carry a questionable tag as the team prepares to face Milwaukee on Thursday. The Chicago star has been a regular on the injury report with right foot soreness, and he made an early exit against Boston last time out. It was a miserable outing for LaVine, who […]

DeMar DeRozan Considered Questionable Thursday

Chicago Bulls guard/forward DeMar DeRozan (ankle) is listed as questionable for Thursday's matchup against Milwaukee. The veteran left Tuesday's meeting with Boston early due to a left ankle sprain, and DeRozan could now be unavailable for the second time this season. He was also out versus Orlando on Nov. 15. DeRozan's absence would open up […]

Gary Payton II Ruled Out Indefinitely

Golden State Warriors guard/forward Gary Payton II (calf) has been ruled out indefinitely. The 30-year-old suffered a torn right calf in Tuesday's game against Sacramento. It's bad news for the team and the player, as Payton II is among Golden State's best defensive players, and Steve Kerr's squad has struggled badly at that end recently. […]

Tari Eason Available On Wedesday

Houston Rockets forward Tari Eason (leg) is available for Wednesday's game against the Denver Nuggets. He was originally listed as questionable coming into this game due to leg soreness. However, it appears Eason has been cleared to play and should see additional playing time with Jae'Sean Tate (knee) ruled out. Fantasy managers looking for some […]

Aaron Gordon Unavailable On Wednesday

Denver Nuggets forward Aaron Gordon (heel) has been ruled out for Wednesday's game against the Houston Rockets. The team will play it safe and hold out Gordon for this game due to a strained right heel. This move will mean that Justin Holiday will move into the starting five for Wednesday's game.

Trey Murphy III Listed As Doubtful Wednesday

New Orleans Pelicans forward Trey Murphy III (knee) is listed as doubtful for Wednesday's meeting with Philadelphia. He's unlikely to play, but this should be seen as very good news, as it appears as though the 23-year-old isn't far away from his season debut anymore. Murphy III was expected to miss 10-12 weeks following a […]

Jonathan Isaac Questionable For Wednesday

Orlando Magic forward Jonathan Isaac (ankle) is listed as questionable for Wednesday's encounter with the Wizards. He missed Sunday's clash with Charlotte due to ankle soreness and could be unavailable again, as the team will likely want to be extra careful with the injury-prone big man. Isaac has averaged less than 40 games per season […]

Cam Reddish Likely Returning For Lakers On Wednesday

Los Angeles Lakers guard/forward Cam Reddish (groin) appears ready to rejoin the lineup on Wednesday versus the Pistons, as the team has listed him as probable for the contest. The 24-year-old has been unavailable for the last three games due to a groin strain. Reddish's numbers don't really stand out, but he's found his way […]
