Gary Payton II Probable To Return On Friday

Golden State Warriors guard Gary Payton II (foot) has missed the last three games with a left foot strain but is now listed as probable to return on Friday against the San Antonio Spurs. Payton's return will probably mean that Moses Moody and Cory Joseph take a hit to their fantasy relevance, while Brandin Podziemski […]

Andrew Nembhard Uncertain Against Pistons

Indiana Pacers guard Andrew Nembhard (back) continues to deal with back spasms, which have caused him to miss the last three consecutive games. Back problems are one of the hardest injuries to predict in terms of a return timetable. The good thing is that he hasn't been ruled out ahead of time and he remains […]

Aaron Nesmith Considered Questionable On Friday

Indiana Pacers forward Aaron Nesmith (wrist) has officially been tagged as questionable for the team's game against the Detroit Pistons on Friday. Nesmith has played an important depth role for the team and has posted career-high efficiency numbers so far. If he misses his second consecutive matchup, then Buddy Hield and Bennedict Mathurin should both […]

Zach Lavine Listed As Questionable For Friday

Chicago Bulls guard Zach LaVine (foot) is listed as questionable ahead of Friday's game against the Toronto Raptors. LaVine was a late scratch from Wednesday's game, which was odd considering head coach Billy Donovan said LaVine was going to play. Regardless, LaVine sat out which led to Patrick Williams getting the starting nod. He finished […]

Desmond Bane Tagged As Questionable For Friday

Memphis Grizzlies guard Desmond Bane (foot) is listed as questionable ahead of Friday's game against the Phoenix Suns. It sounds like Bane suffered a left foot sprain during Wednesday's game, but appears to have avoided serious injury. The Grizzlies are already banged up, so losing Bane would be significant hit to the rotation. They'd likely […]

Shai Gilgeous-Alexander Drops 40 Points On Bulls

Oklahoma City Thunder guard Shai Gilgeous-Alexander ran the show against Chicago Wednesday night, registering a game-high 40 points with 12 assists in a 116-102 win. He finished 11-for-19 from the floor and missed only one of his 18 attempts at the free-throw line. Across 37 minutes of action, the Thunder leader also collected five rebounds, […]

Anthony Edwards Scores Game-High 31 Points Versus Philadelphia

Minnesota Timberwolves guard/forward Anthony Edwards produced a game-high 31 points against a Joel Embiid-less Philadelphia on Wednesday. He hit half of the team's 10 three-pointers and shot 11-for-22 overall as the Timberwolves dominated from start to finish, winning 112-99. Edwards added six rebounds, six assists, and two steals for a full fantasy line. The young […]

Mikal Bridges Goes Off For 45 Points

Brooklyn Nets guard/forward Mikal Bridges was on fire in Wednesday's matchup against the Hawks, putting up a career-high tying 45 points in a 147-145 overtime loss. He did the damage with 16-for-31 shooting from the field and an 11-for-12 record at the stripe. A 10-rebound outing also meant a second double-double of the season for […]

Jacob Gilyard Moves Into Starting Five

Memphis Grizzlies guard Jacob Gilyard will get the starting nod during Wednesday's game against the Houston Rockets. The young guard will move back into the starting unit after coming off the bench during their last game. As a result, John Konchar will come off the bench on Wednesday, which will mean decreased fantasy value for […]

Devin Vassell Officially Available On Wednesday

San Antonio Spurs guard Devin Vassell (groin) is available for Wednesday's game against the Los Angeles Clippers. Vassell said earlier in the day that he would play and he was right as he has been cleared to play. It's worth noting that Vassell is going to come off the bench during his first game back. […]

Chris Duarte Will Play On Wednesday

Sacramento Kings guard Chris Duarte (thumb) will suit up for Wednesday's game against the New Orleans Pelicans. Duarte was questionable coming into this game due to a thumb issue, but it appears he's ready to go. He'll slide into the starting five with Keegan Murray (back) ruled out for this game. Duarte should see increased […]

Nickeil Alexander-Walker Moves Into Starting Five

Minnesota Timberwolves guard Nickeil Alexander-Walker will slide into the starting five for Wednesday's game against the Philadelphia 76ers. As expected, Alexander-Walker will move into the starting unit with Jaden McDaniels (ankle) sidelined. This is likely going to be the plan going forward until McDaniels is ready to return to the court. That being said, Alexander-Walker […]

Zach LaVine Probable For Wednesday's Matchup

Chicago Bulls guard/forward Zach LaVine (foot) is listed as probable for Wednesday's matchup against Oklahoma City. The two-time All-Star has landed on the injury report with right foot soreness.

Alex Caruso Listed As Probable Wednesday

Chicago Bulls guard Alex Caruso (toe) is considered probable for Wednesday's outing versus the Thunder. He's nursing a left-toe sprain, but the injury hasn't kept him off the court.

Marjon Beauchamp Probable Wednesday

Milwaukee Bucks guard/forward MarJon Beauchamp (ankle) appears on track to return to the lineup Wednesday versus Boston, with the team having listed him as probable for the game.

Chris Duarte Questionable For Wednesday

Sacramento Kings guard Chris Duarte (thumb) is listed as questionable for Wednesday's game against the New Orleans Pelicans. This news comes after Duarte was forced to exit early during Monday's contest. The team is calling the injury left thumb soreness, so it doesn't sound like too serious of an issue. If he sits out, Malik […]

Warriors Flashing Warning Signs: Why You Avoid Klay Thompson, Andrew Wiggins Moving Forward

The Golden State Warriors'  dynastic run is one of the more memorable eras in the history of the NBA. Aside from the golden reason for their success, Stephen Curry, of course, Klay Thompson also played a pivotal part in Golden State's four championships spanning from 2015 to 2022. I think it's time we address the […]

Jalen Hood-Schifino Listed As Questionable On Tuesday

Los Angeles Lakers guard Jalen Hood-Schifino (knee) is listed as questionable for Tuesday's encounter with Utah. The 17th pick from this year's draft has yet to play in 2023-24 and could have his NBA debut further delayed as Hood-Schifino deals with a right patella contusion. He was listed as available for Sunday's matchup against Houston […]

Andrew Nembhard Questionable For Tuesday

Indiana Pacers guard Andrew Nembhard (back) is listed as questionable for Tuesday's matchup against the Hawks. He's having trouble with his lower back, and it kept Nembhard off the court for the first time this season on Sunday versus Orlando. Nembhard's fantasy stock has taken a big hit this season, as he has gone from […]

Ty Jerome Remains Out For Cleveland

Cleveland Cavaliers guard Ty Jerome (ankle) won't be available for an 11th consecutive contest on Tuesday against Philadelphia. He's trying to come back from a sprained ankle, and it's unclear when Jerome will be allowed to continue basketball activities. With Donovan Mitchell (hamstring) on the shelf and Caris LeVert (knee) questionable, Craig Porter Jr. could […]

Chris Duarte Exits With Hand Injury

Sacramento Kings guard Chris Duarte (hand) was forced to exit early during Monday's game against the New Orleans Pelicans. The young guard picked up a hand injury and is currently questionable to return to the contest. The severity of the injury is unknown at the moment, but it wouldn't be shocking to see the Kings […]

Luke Kennard Will Miss Two More Weeks

Memphis Grizzlies shooting guard Luke Kennard (knee) is currently dealing with a left-knee bone bruise, and the team has announced that he will be re-evaluated in two weeks. The 27-year-old suffered the injury on Nov. 14 in their game against the Los Angeles Lakers, so fantasy managers will want to find a replacement since he'll […]

Caris LeVert Tagged As Questionable For Tuesday

Cleveland Cavaliers forward Caris LeVert (knee) has received a questionable tag for the team's Tuesday night game against the Philadelphia 76ers. LeVert has played a big role in the team's offense while Donovan Mitchell (hamstring) and Isaac Okoro (knee) have both been out. If LeVert can't suit up, that leaves a big void for minutes […]

Donovan Mitchell Will Remain On The Sidelines Tuesday

Cleveland Cavaliers guard Donovan Mitchell (hamstring) has already been ruled out for his third consecutive game due to a right hamstring strain. The star guard leaves a big hole in the starting five and the offense, plus it makes the game against the Philadelphia 76ers a little more worrisome since Caris LeVert (knee) is also […]

Gary Payton II Misses Another Game On Monday

Golden State Warriors guard/forward Gary Payton II (foot) will be unavailable for a second straight game on Monday versus Houston. He's nursing a left foot sprain.

New Orleans Pelicans guard Jose Alvarado (ankle) hasn't played since February of last season but is trending in the right direction to make his season debut.
