Pat Connaughton Won't Return Tuesday

Milwaukee Bucks forward Pat Connaughton (ankle) won't return to Tuesday's game against the Miami Heat. Connaughton played 15 minutes in this game, but won't return after halftime due to a right ankle sprain. In his absence, MarJon Beauchamp will likely be given more playing time in the second half. He could have some low-end streaming […]

Cam Thomas Listed As Doubtful Tuesday

Brooklyn Nets guard/forward Cam Thomas (ankle) will likely miss a ninth consecutive game on Tuesday versus the Raptors. Thomas continues to deal with a left ankle sprain, and the team has listed him as doubtful for the clash. Before getting hurt, Thomas was enjoying a dream start to 2023-24, leading Brooklyn in scoring with 26.9 […]

Cameron Johnson Probable Tuesday

Brooklyn Nets forward Cameron Johnson (leg) is expected to play Tuesday versus Toronto, with the team listing him as probable for the contest. He had to exit Sunday's matchup against Chicago with cramping in his right leg. It doesn't seem to have been a serious issue, though, and Johnson appears on track to play in […]

Haywood Highsmith Questionable For Tuesday

Miami Heat forward Haywood Highsmith (back) is regarded as questionable for Tuesday's big battle with Milwaukee. The 26-year-old might have to sit out the action after he couldn't practice fully on Monday due to a lower back contusion suffered in the previous game against Brooklyn. Highsmith made a 12th consecutive start versus the Nets, and […]

Zach LaVine Doubtful For Tuesday

Chicago Bulls guard/forward Zach LaVine (foot) is once again listed as questionable for Tuesday's matchup against Boston. He missed a game last week with foot soreness and could be unavailable with the same issue Tuesday night. Although LaVine has played in the last two games, seemingly without any problems. The 2023-24 campaign hasn't gone well […]

Khris Middleton Questionable Versus Miami

Milwaukee Bucks forward Khris Middleton (Achilles) is questionable for Tuesday's game against Miami. The veteran exited Friday's meeting with the Washington Wizards and wasn't available on Sunday versus the Portland Trail Blazers. Andre Jackson Jr. took his place in the starting lineup in that one, although he went scoreless in 12 minutes of work. Nonetheless, […]

Jimmy Butler Tagged As Questionable For Tuesday

Miami Heat forward Jimmy Butler (ankle) is listed as questionable ahead of Tuesday's game against the Milwaukee Bucks. The star forward suffered an ankle injury on Friday and as a result missed their last game and practice on Monday. At this point, it wouldn't be shocking to see the Heat take the cautious approach and […]

Kelly Oubre Jr. Participates In Shootaround

Philadelphia 76ers forward Kelly Oubre Jr. (rib) was able to participate in shootaround on Monday. This is an encouraging sign as Oubre is set to be re-evaluated on Tuesday. Oubre has been making fantastic progress considering he was hit by a car a few weeks ago. It sounds like Oubre is nearing a return to […]

LeBron James Available Against 76ers

Los Angeles Lakers forward LeBron James (calf) was listed as questionable heading into the Monday night matchup against the Philadelphia 76ers. The superstar forward was listed as questionable more for a formality as he's been on the injury report a number of times with the calf issue and has played anyway. He and Anthony Davis […]

Cam Reddish Sidelined Against 76ers

Los Angeles Lakers guard/forward Cam Reddish (groin) has been downgraded from questionable and will not play on Monday against the Philadelphia 76ers. This will be his third consecutive game missed due to a groin strain. Since Gabe Vincent (knee) also remains out, Austin Reaves will likely handle most of the reserve duties while Max Christie […]

Aaron Nesmith Upgraded To Available On Monday

Indiana Pacers forward Aaron Nesmith (wrist) has been upgraded from questionable to available on Monday night. He'll likely retain his usual role where he receives around 23 minutes and does a little bit of everything on both sides of the ball. Nesmith is more fantasy-relevant when it comes to deeper leagues, but he does have […]

Matt Ryan Remains Sidelined Monday

New Orleans Pelicans small forward Matt Ryan (calf) will miss a fifth consecutive game Monday versus Utah. He strained his right calf a couple of weeks back, leaving the injury-hit Pelicans without another piece off the bench. Last Monday, it was announced Ryan would be ready to return in 10-14 days, so we could see […]

Trey Murphy III Out For Another Game On Monday

New Orleans Pelicans forward Trey Murphy III (knee) will remain on the shelf for Monday's meeting with Utah. We've yet to see the 23-year-old in action in 2023-24 after he had a procedure done on his left knee in September. He was spotted getting shots up in practice a couple of weeks ago, but there […]

Bojan Bogdanovic Still Out For Detroit

Detroit Pistons guard/forward Bojan Bogdanovic (calf) will continue to sit out action on Monday versus Washington. The 34-year-old has yet to feature this season due to a calf injury. It was announced a week ago that Bogdanovic has been cleared for basketball activities, but it's going to take a bit more time until we see […]

Joe Harris Remains On The Sidelines Monday

Detroit Pistons guard/forward Joe Harris (shoulder) will be absent for a 10th straight game on Monday against Washington. The veteran sniper continues to nurse a shoulder strain. Detroit traded for Harris in the offseason, but it looks like the team doesn't have big plans with him, as Harris was limited to only 14.0 minutes per […]

Danuel House Jr. Questionable Monday

Philadelphia 76ers small forward Danuel House Jr. (quadriceps) is listed as questionable for Monday's big game against the Lakers. House Jr. was also out for the weekend's action against Oklahoma City and would miss a second consecutive game if he can't shake off a left quadriceps contusion. With that said, Danuel House Jr.'s absence doesn't […]

Aaron Nesmith Receives Questionable Status For Monday

Indiana Pacers forward Aaron Nesmith (wrist) has received another questionable tag for their Monday night game against the Portland Trail Blazers. The fourth-year wing has had to miss the last two consecutive games due to this right wrist sprain and now he could miss a third. His role has grown since joining the team via […]

Lauri Markkanen Marked As Questionable Ahead Of Monday

Utah Jazz forward Lauri Markkanen (hamstring) has been tagged as questionable due to a left hamstring strain and is in danger of missing his second consecutive game because of it. Markkanen remains the go-to guy on this team, so there's a big hole that can only be filled by a lot of players contributing at […]

Cam Reddish Questionable Again Versus 76ers

Los Angeles Lakers forward Cam Reddish (groin) has been tagged as questionable again for Monday's game against the Philadelphia 76ers. The 24-year-old was forced to miss the last two consecutive games with a left groin strain and he was listed as questionable in the contest prior. Since it seems like he'll be a game time […]

LeBron James Tagged As Questionable For Monday

Los Angeles Lakers forward LeBron James (calf) is tagged as questionable again with the same left calf contusion that has been bothering him for a couple of weeks now. This is similar to last season where James was on the injury report close to every game with soreness from wear and tear. Fantasy managers will […]

Alex Caruso Ruled Out Against Nets

Chicago Bulls guard Alex Caruso (toe) has been ruled out of the Sunday night game against the Brooklyn Nets with a left toe strain. He has popped up on the injury report the last handful of games with this same issue but didn't need to miss a game until now. With the 29-year-old on the […]

Aaron Gordon Ruled Out Against Spurs

Denver Nuggets forward Aaron Gordon (heel) has been downgraded from questionable to out on Sunday night, so he'll watch the game against the San Antonio Spurs from the sidelines. Meanwhile, the rest of the players that were listed as questionable are all going to play in this one. So, Zeke Nnaji would be the likely […]

Zach LaVine Will Play Sunday Against Nets

Chicago Bulls guard Zach LaVine (foot) has been upgraded from questionable to available on Sunday. Having their star guard against the Brooklyn Nets is a big boost for the team's offense and for fantasy managers everywhere. The 28-year-old averages 22.3 points, 5.0 rebounds, 3.3 assists, 2.3 turnovers, and 2.6 threes per game so far and […]

After an exciting start, it's week six 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 of […]

Simone Fontecchio Moves Into Starting Five

Utah Jazz forward Simone Fontecchio will move into the starting five ahead of Saturday's game against the New Orleans Pelicans. The Jazz will be shorthanded here with both Lauri Markkanen (hamstring) and Jordan Clarkson (illness) sidelined for this game. That being said, Fontecchio and Omer Yurtseven will move into the starting unit. Both players should […]

Khris Middleton Won't Play Sunday

Milwaukee Bucks forward Khris Middleton (Achilles) won't suit up for Sunday's game against the Portland Trail Blazers. Middleton was forced to exit early during Friday's game due to left Achilles tightness. This is a shame because the Bucks were beginning to ramp up his playing time. Hopefully, Middleton will be able to return next week, […]

Jalen Johnson Won't Return On Saturday

Atlanta Hawks forward Jalen Johnson (wrist) won't return to the Saturday's game against the Washington Wizards. Johnson took a hard fall on his left wrist after being fouled on a dunk attempt. The severity of the injury is unknown right now, so fantasy managers will have to check back for another update on his status. […]

Lauri Markkanen Could Miss First Game Of The Season

Utah Jazz forward Lauri Markkanen (hamstring) could be out for the first time this season on Saturday against New Orleans, as the team has listed him as questionable for the game. The Finnish star has hurt his left hamstring, and his absence would leave the Jazz without their top scorer. Markkanen has averaged close to […]

Dean Wade Misses A Second Consecutive Game

Cleveland Cavaliers forward Dean Wade (ankle) won't be available for Saturday's matchup against the Lakers, missing a second consecutive game. The 27-year-old recently sprained his right ankle, adding to Cleveland's injury woes. A number of selection problems have allowed Wade to average over 20 minutes per game early in the season, but he's been ineffective […]

Isaac Okoro Listed As Questionable Saturday

Cleveland Cavaliers guard/forward Isaac Okoro (knee) is listed as questionable for Saturday's encounter with the Lakers. He's been a long-term absentee for the Cavaliers, having played his last game on Nov. 3 in an in-season tournament clash against Indiana. It's been a nine-game absence for Okoro, but he returned to practice on Friday and could […]
