Talen Horton-Tucker Won't Play Sunday
Utah Jazz guard Talen Horton-Tucker (ankle) won't suit up for Sunday's game against the Memphis Grizzlies. It's the second night of a back-to-back set, so the Jazz have decided to rest their young guard. His absence should open up more playing time for Malik Beasley, Ochai Agbaji and Nickeil Alexander-Walker. On Saturday, Agbaji dropped 19 […]
Luke Kennard Questionable Against Atlanta
Los Angeles Clippers guard Luke Kennard (calf) is questionable for Sunday's game against the visiting Atlanta Hawks. Paul George (hamstring) carries the same designation. As a result, Terance Mann, who's averaged 11.6 points in 15 starts this season, could enter the starting lineup.
Paul George Questionable With Hamstring Soreness
Los Angeles Clippers guard Paul George (hamstring) is questionable for Sunday's matchup with Atlanta. The veteran logged only 13 minutes in Thursday's blowout loss to Denver before missing the following night's meeting in Minnesota. Considering he's dealt with the ailment for a while now but has played through it, it's reasonable to assume he'll be […]
Marcus Smart Exits With A Knee Problem
Boston Celtics guard Marcus Smart left Saturday's 121-116 win over San Antonio early because of a knee injury. He took a hit right below his left knee and ended up featuring for only 22 minutes in the game. Luckily, the X-rays have come back negative and Smart himself has also said that he doesn't believe […]
Anthony Edwards Questionable For Meeting With Houston
Minnesota Timberwolves guard Anthony Edwards (hip) is questionable for Sunday's game in Houston. He exited Friday's win over the Los Angeles Clippers because of a sore left hip, allowing Jaylen Nowell to finish with 14 points and six assists. If Edwards can't suit up, Nowell would be a favorite to enter starting lineup, ultimately giving […]
Tyler Herro Questionable With Back Spams On Sunday
Miami Heat guard Tyler Herro (back) is questionable for Sunday's matchup with the Brooklyn Nets. The reigning Sixth Man of the Year didn't play in Friday's win over the Suns because of back spasms. This allowed Victor Oladipo to log 34 minutes and finish with 26 points while shooting an efficient 4-for-6 from deep. If […]
Bennedict Mathurin Questionable Versus Charlotte
Indiana Pacers guard Bennedict Mathurin (shoulder) is questionable against the visiting Charlotte Hornets. The rookie has played well this season, averaging 17.4 points in 40 games, with nearly all of his appearances coming from the bench. If Mathurin can play, he always warrants fantasy consideration. However, if the shoulder soreness keeps him out, Chris Duarte, […]
Gary Payton II Likely To Play In Toronto
Portland Trail Blazers guard Gary Payton II (ankle) is expected to play on Sunday against the Toronto Raptors. The former Warrior finally made his 2022-23 debut on Monday versus the Detroit Pistons after undergoing core muscle surgery in the offseason. Unfortunately, he sprained his right ankle in that one, ending his night after only 13 […]
Marcus Smart Unlikely To Return On Saturday
Boston Celtics guard Marcus Smart (knee) is unlikely to return for Saturday's game against the San Antonio Spurs. He ran into Zach Collins on a screen and suffered a left knee contusion.

Devin Booker To Be Re-Evaluated By End Of January
Phoenix Suns guard Devin Booker (groin) will be re-evaluated in the last week of January, according to Duane Rankin of the Arizona Republic. The veteran has been bothered by a groin strain, which hasn't been ideal for a Suns team that has lost eight of their previous nine games. Even worse, Chris Paul (hip) is […]
Cameron Payne To Be Re-Evaluated In Two Weeks
Phoenix Suns guard Cameron Payne (foot) will be re-evaluated in two weeks, according to head coach Monty Williams. Payne sprained his right foot on Wednesday, which isn't ideal for a Suns team that has lost their last five games. Chris Paul (hip) is day-to-day, while Devin Booker (groin) remains out for the foreseeable future. As […]
Terry Rozier Racks Up Season-High 39 Points
Charlotte Hornets guard Terry Rozier was on a roll Friday with a season-high 39 points as the team handed Milwaukee an embarrassing 138-109 home loss. He shot 15-for-29 from the field, including 6-for-15 from downtown, and collected two rebounds with four assists and one steal. Rozier has been a changed man in 2023 so far, […]

Minnesota Timberwolves guard/forward Anthony Edwards left Friday's contest against the Clippers with hip soreness and doesn't expect to play Sunday versus Houston.

Lonnie Walker IV Set To Miss At Least Next Two Weeks
Los Angeles Lakers shooting guard/small forward Lonnie Walker IV (knee) has been sidelined for at least the next two weeks due to left knee tendinitis.

Austin Reaves Will Miss At Least Two Weeks With Injury
Los Angeles Lakers shooting guard/small forward Austin Reaves (hamstring) has been shut down for at least two weeks due to a strained left hamstring, at which point the team will re-evaluate his progress. Reaves has played an integral wing role for L.A. this season, averaging 10.8 PPG while shooting 48.8 percent overall. With injuries sweeping […]
Tyler Herro Earns Questionable Tag For Friday’s Contest
Miami Heat shooting guard Tyler Herro (back) has been bumped down to questionable for Friday's game against the Suns as he battles back spasms. Herro has not missed action since Nov. 21, which makes the Heat backcourt rotation in a potential absence unclear; with that said, Victor Oladipo and Gabe Vincent would stand to see […]
Paul George, Kawhi Leonard Questionable For Friday’s Game
LA Clippers forwards Paul George (hamstring) and Kawhi Leonard (knee) have been deemed questionable to play in Friday's contest vs. Minnesota. While the duo both suited up Thursday, an early deficit led to the two stars combining for just 32 minutes of action; Leonard has yet to play both legs of a back-to-back this season […]
Jrue Holiday Listed As Probable On Friday Versus Charlotte
Milwaukee Bucks guard Jrue Holiday (illness) missed the team's last game on Wednesday with a non-COVID illness but should be returning on Friday. The one-game absence will be welcomed by the Bucks and fantasy managers alike as both need him to produce. He was only able to play around 19 minutes in the team's last […]
RJ Barrett Sidelined Again On Friday Against Toronto
New York Knicks guard RJ Barrett (finger) will have to sit out another game with a laceration on his right index finger. He has missed the last four consecutive games with the same injury and will officially miss a fifth. Immanuel Quickley has entered the starting lineup and he's only rostered in 59 percent of […]
Gary Payton II Questionable Again On Friday
Portland Trail Blazers guard Gary Payton II (ankle) made his season debut back on Monday after undergoing core surgery in the off-season, but he picked up an ankle injury that has kept him out of one game so far. He's still listed as questionable for the team's next game on Friday against the Indiana Pacers. […]
Jalen Green Scores 30 Points In Loss To Jazz
Houston Rockets guard Jalen Green led the team in scoring during their blowout loss to the Utah Jazz on Thursday night. The former second-overall pick ended the night with 30 points, four rebounds, and four assists on 8-for-24 shooting, 4-for-12 from beyond the arc, and 10-for-11 from the free-throw line. The second-year combo guard has […]
Jamal Murray Leads Nuggets To Blowout Win
Denver Nuggets guard Jamal Murray was one of seven players to score double-digits in the 122-91 win over the Los Angeles Clippers on Thursday.

Donovan Mitchell To Rest On Friday
Cleveland Cavaliers guard Donovan Mitchell (rest) is listed as out for Friday's game against the Denver Nuggets. The star guard has scored 91 points across his last two games. That being said, the organization has decided to give Mitchell a rest day on Friday. Fellow guard Darius Garland (thumb) is listed as questionable, so the […]
Austin Reaves Out On Friday
Los Angeles Lakers guard Austin Reaves (hamstring) is listed as out for Friday's game against the Atlanta Hawks. This is not good news for the Lakers who are already without Lonnie Walker IV (tailbone) for the time being. Also, Troy Brown Jr. (quad) is considered questionable after getting injured on Wednesday. He'd be an interesting […]
Bradley Beal To Miss At Least One Week
Washington Wizards guard Bradley Beal (hamstring) is going to be sidelined for at least one week. The organization plans to re-evaluate Beal after one week because he has been diagnosed with a low-grade left hamstring strain. The 29-year-old has already missed nine games since December 7th. His absence should mean that Corey Kispert moves into […]
Desmond Bane Rested On Thursday
Memphis Grizzlies guard/forward Desmond Bane (toe) won't play Thursday against the Magic. He has only just returned from injury and the Grizzlies complete a back-to-back, so the team has decided to give Bane a night off. The 24-year-old had a nice 19-point showing with a career-high 11 rebounds and four assists Wednesday versus Charlotte. Bane […]
Jalen Suggs Listed As Questionable Thursday
Orlando Magic guard Jalen Suggs (ankle) has been labeled as questionable for Thursday's matchup against Memphis. It's the first time after 18 games that the team hasn't listed him as out, so it's possible Suggs is ready to get back to action. Suggs played 14 games at the start of the season before going down […]
Dennis Schroder Leads Short-Handed Lakers To Win
Los Angeles Lakers guard Dennis Schroder played 40 minutes in the team's 112-109 win over the Miami Heat on Wednesday night. The 29-year-old posted 32 points, four rebounds, two assists, and four steals while shooting 8-for-15 from the floor, 4-for-7 from three, and 12-for-14 from the line. This marked his second 30-point game of the […]
Fred VanVleet Barely Misses Triple-Double In Loss
Toronto Raptors guard Fred VanVleet bounced back in a big way as he came just two rebounds shy of a triple-double against the Milwaukee Bucks on Wednesday.
