Early-Week Fantasy Basketball Category Streamers for Week 2

Following the nauseating summer of Damian Lillard and James Harden antics...wait, never mind...the latter is still occurring. But anyway, the NBA season is back! While you may feel confident about your draft decisions, stars are born and eroded every day. Take a moment to see what's on the other side of the waiver wire. Most […]

Josh Richardson Not Expected To Play On Monday

Miami Heat guard Josh Richardson (heel) is officially listed as doubtful for the team's Monday night contest against the Milwaukee Bucks. The veteran guard has been dealing with a right heel issue that has kept him out of every game so far this season. It doesn't seem like he'll be making his return just yet, […]

OG Anunoby Tagged As Questionable Against Trail Blazers

Toronto Raptors forward OG Anunoby (leg) has received the questionable tag for Monday's contest against the Portland Trail Blazers due to leg cramps that have already forced him to miss one game. The 26-year-old has a history of leg injuries, so it's good news that this isn't a very serious issue. He's currently trending in […]

Zach LaVine Likely To Play Against Indiana

Chicago Bulls guard Zach LaVine (back) is probable for Monday's meeting with the Pacers. The 28-year-old is battling back spasms and appeared on the injury report ahead of Saturday's loss to the Detroit Pistons. However, he scored 51 points in that one, so the issue didn't impact him too much. Assuming LaVine plays, he's a […]

James Harden Remains Out On Sunday Night

Philadelphia 76ers guard James Harden won't play on Sunday against Portland, as expected. Philly has the veteran listed as out due to conditioning reasons. However, there's a real chance he's already played his final game with the 76ers. That said, De'Anthony Melton should remain in the starting lineup. But Tyrese Maxey has benefitted greatly without […]

Stephen Curry Now Probable For Sunday Night

Golden State Warriors guard Stephen Curry (foot) is probable for Sunday's matchup with the Houston Rockets. The sharpshooter was questionable on Saturday, and there appeared to be a real shot he wouldn't be available. But he should be good to go, barring a setback. Curry is averaging 34.0 points and shooting 45.8% from deep this […]

Brandon Boston Jr. Remains Without A Timetable

Los Angeles Clippers guard Brandon Boston Jr. (quad) has been ruled out for Sunday's game against the San Antonio Spurs. The young guard continues to miss time due to a quad injury. The organization has not given a clear timetable on his return, so fantasy managers shouldn't consider him close to playing. Boston is unlikely […]

Josh Richardson Out Again On Saturday

Miami Heat guard Josh Richardson (heel) remains out for Saturday's game against Minnesota. The veteran has battled a heel injury since the preseason, so fantasy managers must wait a bit longer for his debut. In the meantime, Jimmy Butler (rest), Kevin Love (shoulder), and Caleb Martin (knee) are also out versus the Timberwolves, so Duncan […]

Donovan Mitchell May Not Play Against Indiana

Cleveland Cavaliers guard Donovan Mitchell (hamstring) may miss Saturday's meeting with the Pacers. Mitchell scored 43 points in Friday's loss to the Oklahoma City Thunder but is now questionable because of hamstring soreness. With Darius Garland (hamstring) and Jarrett Allen (ankle) out, Caris LeVert and Evan Mobley could emerge as must-start options for DFS managers […]

Devin Booker To Miss Another Game

Phoenix Suns guard Devin Booker (ankle) remains out ahead of Saturday's meeting with Utah. This will mark the sharpshooter's second consecutive absence, meaning his next chance to suit up will occur on Halloween versus the Spurs. Bradley Beal (back) also won't play, so Eric Gordon, coming off a 15-point performance in Thursday's loss to the […]

Luka Doncic Leads Mavericks Past Nets With Monster Effort

Dallas Mavericks guard Luka Doncic put on a show against the Brooklyn Nets on Friday, leading his troops to a 125-120 victory with 49 points. He completed the contest with four consecutive three-point makes, including a spectacular semi-hook from near the sideline with the shot clock expiring. Doncic went 9-for-14 from downtown overall, hitting 16-for-25 […]

Donovan Mitchell Drops 43 Points Friday Night

Cleveland Cavaliers guard Donovan Mitchell was on fire in Friday's matchup against the Thunder, racking up 43 points on 15-for-27 shooting in a 108-105 loss. He had a 4-for-11 record from downtown and kept himself busy all over the court, bagging eight rebounds, five assists, three steals, and two blocks. With Darius Garland (hamstring) sitting […]

Klay Thompson Not Shying Away From Back-To-Backs

Golden State guard/forward Klay Thompson plans to play "as many games as he can" during the 2023-24 NBA season. The veteran's health issues have always been a hot topic because of his injury issues, and he didn't play in any back-to-backs for four years before being available again for two games in two nights in […]

Luke Kennard To Remain Out On Saturday

Memphis Grizzlies guard Luke Kennard (concussion) will miss a second consecutive game Saturday against Washington. He's going through the concussion protocol and was also sidelined for Friday's matchup against the Nuggets. Kennard, who led the NBA last season in three-point efficiency with 49.4 percent, opened the 2023-24 campaign Wednesday with a three-point effort in 15 […]

OG Anunoby Exits With Muscle Cramp

Toronto Raptors guard/forward OG Anunoby left Friday's 104-103 overtime loss to Chicago with a muscle cramp. He was able to log 28 minutes of action, scoring 11 points on 5-for-8 shooting and snagging two steals. It's unclear if he can return to action when the Raptors host Philadelphia on Saturday. Anunoby has enjoyed a strong […]

Zach LaVine Troubled By Back Problem

Chicago Bulls guard/forward Zach LaVine is dealing with a back issue and might have to skip Saturday's meeting with Detroit. He played through the problem Friday versus Toronto but clearly struggled, as the talented scorer shot 3-for-14 from the field with no three-point makes with six attempts. LaVine committed three turnovers in 38 minutes and […]

Devin Booker Unlikely To Play Against Utah

Phoenix Suns guard Devin Booker (foot) isn't expected to play on Saturday night against Utah. Booker didn't suit up on Thursday versus the Lakers, so his next chance to return will be on Tuesday for the Halloween encounter with the Spurs. With Bradley Beal (back) already ruled out, the Suns will be forced to rely […]

Bradley Beal Won't Return Saturday

Phoenix Suns guard Bradley Beal (back) won't play on Saturday against Utah. Beal will miss his third consecutive game because of back spasms, so his next chance to make his official debut with his new team will be on Tuesday versus the visiting Spurs. With Devin Booker (foot) doubtful, Kevin Durant, who had 39 points […]

Landry Shamet Returns To Practice On Friday

Washington Wizards guard Landry Shamet (toe) practiced on Friday. The 26-year-old broke his big toe a month ago and was projected to miss up to four weeks, so he's on track with his recovery. Shamet, who was traded to the Wizards as a part of the Bradley Beal deal, has played for the 76ers, Clippers, […]

Anfernee Simons To Undergo Surgery

Portland Trail Blazers guard Anfernee Simons (thumb) will miss 4-to-6 weeks after an MRI revealed a ligament tear in his right thumb. Simons was listed as probable for Friday's meeting with Orlando. However, he was downgraded to questionable later in the day, so fantasy managers had a feeling something wasn't right. It's an unfortunate development […]

Anfernee Simons Downgraded To Questionable On Friday

Portland Trail Blazers guard Anfernee Simons (thumb) was originally listed as probable for the team's game against the Orlando Magic on Friday night. Since then, he's been downgraded to questionable as he continues to deal with the thumb issue. This trend in the wrong direction is a bit alarming for his status when tipoff comes […]

Wesley Matthews Will Miss At Least Two Weeks

Atlanta Hawks guard Wesley Matthews (calf) underwent an MRI on Wednesday that revealed a mild right calf strain. The team announced that he would be re-evaluated in two weeks and then his status would be updated. Since Matthews just joined the team this past offseason, he won't affect the rotation all that much. Once he […]

Tyrese Haliburton Uncertain For Game Against Cavaliers

Indiana Pacers guard Tyrese Haliburton (non-Covid Illness) has popped up on the injury report with a questionable status for the team's Saturday night game against the Cleveland Cavaliers. The star guard wasn't previously on the injury report and the severity of his illness is unknown at the moment. Fantasy managers depending on Haliburton should stay […]

Bones Hyland Receives Another Questionable Tag On Friday

Los Angeles Clippers guard Bones Hyland (ankle) is listed as questionable for the team's game against the Utah Jazz on Friday. Hyland also was tagged as questionable before their season-opener on Wednesday and he ended up playing. The ankle sprain seems to be a nagging injury, but not severe enough to force him to miss […]

Tyrese Maxey Drops 31 Points In Loss

Philadelphia 76ers guard Tyrese Maxey hasn't had the chance to be the lead guard that often since joining the team in 2020. With James Harden still waiting to get dealt, Maxey's value and opportunities have increased tenfold. The up-and-coming star finished the game against the Bucks with 31 points, eight assists, four rebounds, and two […]

Damian Lillard Explodes In Bucks Debut

Milwaukee Bucks guard Damian Lillard introduced himself to the home fans in exciting fashion after leading the team to an opening night win over the Philadelphia 76ers. He delivered the dagger that ultimately won the game while collecting 39 points, eight rebounds, and four assists. He shot 9-for-20 from the floor while knocking down four […]

Darius Garland Listed As Questionable Against Thunder

Cleveland Cavaliers guard Darius Garland (hamstring) has officially been tagged as questionable for their Friday night game against the Oklahoma City Thunder. The star guard is dealing with a left hamstring strain and it seems as though the team will wait until shootaround to see how he feels. Since it's still the beginning of the […]

Duncan Robinson Likely To Suit Up On Friday

Miami Heat forward Duncan Robinson (foot) is reportedly dealing with a left foot sprain but the team officially has him listed as probable for their Friday night game against the Boston Celtics. Robinson played a big part in the offense in the team's first win against the Detroit Pistons as he knocked down three shots […]

Bogdan Bogdanovic Struggles On Wednesday Night

Atlanta Hawks guard Bogdan Bogdanovic scored only seven points in Wednesday's loss to the Charlotte Hornets. The 2017 No. 27 overall pick logged 24 minutes from the bench, going 3-for-9 from the field and 1-for-5 from deep, adding four rebounds and four assists. Fortunately, he had three steals, which helped offset some of his shooting […]

Josh Richardson To Miss Friday's Game

Miami Heat guard Josh Richardson (foot) has been ruled out ahead of Friday's game against the Boston Celtics. Richardson will now miss his second straight regular season contest after he sat out the preseason finale as well. The team is calling it right foot discomfort, so hopefully it's a minor issue. The expectation is that […]
