Gary Harris Remains Sidelined On Monday

Orlando Magic guard Gary Harris (hamstring) will miss a third consecutive game on Monday after being ruled out for the contest against the New York Knicks.

Jalen Suggs Ruled Out Monday Against Knicks

Orlando Magic guard Jalen Suggs (back) has been ruled out for a second consecutive game as he tends to his lower back strain that he suffered on Friday against the Raptors. Suggs had to leave the game in a wheelchair, so he was bound to miss a little bit of time. Since he'll be on […]

RJ Barrett Tagged As Questionable On Monday

Toronto Raptors guard/forward RJ Barrett (illness) has picked up a questionable tag for their game against the Milwaukee Bucks on Monday. He's dealing with an illness that has caused him to miss the last three consecutive games. Ochai Agbaji and Gradey Dick will remain in the starting five if Barrett can't suit up in this […]

Khris Middleton Listed As Probable Monday

Milwaukee Bucks guard/forward Khris Middleton (ankle) is expected to remain in the lineup for Monday's game against the Toronto Raptors after being listed as probable. Middleton's ankle surgery from the off-season still requires some management throughout this season, but he's played in the last 12 consecutive games. So far, he averages 12.7 points, 4.4 rebounds, […]

Gabe Vincent Remains Sidelined Versus Rockets

Los Angeles Lakers guard Gabe Vincent (oblique) will not play on Sunday against Houston. He has been downgraded from doubtful to out.

However, the veteran guard has only had a small […]

Brandon Miller Will Be Back In Action On Sunday

Charlotte Hornets guard Brandon Miller will be able to return from his six-game absence on Sunday when the Hornets face the Cavaliers in Cleveland. Miller and LaMelo Ball (ankle, wrist) will both be back in action for Charlotte, giving them their two top offensive options for the first time since December 26. In his second […]

Jordan Clarkson Sitting Out On Sunday

Utah Jazz guard Jordan Clarkson (foot) has been ruled out for Sunday's game against the Orlando Magic. Clarkson only played two minutes on Saturday before exiting due to left plantar fasciitis. As a result, Clarkson will sit out on Sunday and hopefully rest up in time to play during Tuesday's game against the Atlanta Hawks. […]

Bogdan Bogdanovic Ruled Out For Saturday

Atlanta Hawks guard Bogdan Bogdanovic (leg) has been ruled out ahead of Saturday's game against the Los Angeles Clippers. Bogdanovic made his return to the court on Friday after missing the previous five games due to a leg injury. The veteran guard will now sit out the second leg of the back-to-back set for rest […]

Alex Caruso Remains Sidelined On Sunday

Oklahoma City Thunder guard Alex Caruso (hip) has been ruled out ahead of Sunday's game against the Boston Celtics. Caruso is set to miss his seventh game in a row due to a lingering hip issue. It doesn't sound like Caruso is nearing a return to the court. That being said, Luguentz Dort and Cason […]

Bradley Beal Will Play Saturday

Phoenix Suns guard Bradley Beal (hip) has been cleared to play in Saturday's game against the Indiana Pacers. Beal's availability is welcome news for the Suns and fantasy managers, given his occasional injury concerns. This season, he's averaging 18.2 points, 3.7 rebounds, and 3.1 assists per game. While his performances have been up and down […]

Gary Harris Ruled Out For Sunday's Game Against Utah

Orlando Magic guard Gary Harris (hamstring) has been ruled out ahead of Sunday's game against the Utah Jazz.

The 30-year-old was able to suit up for three games for the Magic before missing Friday's game […]

Jalen Suggs Ruled Out For Sunday's Game Against Utah

Orlando Magic guard Jalen Suggs (back) has been ruled out for Sunday's game against the Utah Jazz. Suggs exited Friday's game against the Toronto Raptors early when he sustained his back injury. The 23-year-old has only missed three games this season. Given Orlando's lengthy injury report, Magic fans and fantasy managers can only hope that […]

Cam Thomas Sustains New Hamstring Strain, Will Be Out At Least Two Weeks

Brooklyn Nets guard Cam Thomas (hamstring) sustained a new hamstring strain against the Milwaukee Bucks on Thursday and will be re-evaluated after the team's upcoming west coast road trip, according to the team. The Nets' final game of that road trip is January 19th in Oklahoma City, sidelining Thomas for at least two weeks before […]

Cade Cunningham Expected To Suit Up Versus Minnesota

Detroit Pistons guard Cade Cunningham (knee) is expected to play on Saturday versus Minnesota. The 2021 No. 1 overall pick has had the best year of his career, averaging 23.6 points, 9.5 assists, and 6.7 rebounds while shooting 37.1% from behind the arc. He's also missed only four games after logging 62 games or less […]

Jalen Suggs Won't Return On Friday Night

Orlando Magic guard Jalen Suggs (back) won't return to Friday's game against the Toronto Raptors. The 23-year-old wasn't having the best game, scoring only six points until he went down with a non-contact injury near the end of the second quarter. He was taken off the floor in a wheelchair and eventually diagnosed with back […]

Sam Merrill Ruled Out For Friday

Cleveland Cavaliers guard/forward Sam Merrill (ankle) has been ruled out for Friday's matchup against Dallas. He hurt his right ankle against the Lakers on Tuesday, and Merrill was unlikely to be available for Friday's contest when the team listed him as doubtful on the initial injury report. His absence shouldn't be a big loss for […]

Miles McBride Out Again Versus OKC

New York Knicks guard Miles McBride (hamstring) won't play on Friday against OKC. Deuce has been battling hamstring tightness, so he'll miss his second consecutive game on Friday night. Had Jalen Brunson (calf) remained out, McBride could have benefited if he were active. However, with Brunson available on Friday, McBride's upside would have been limited. […]

AJ Green On Track To Return Saturday

Milwaukee Bucks guard AJ Green (back) appears to be on track to return to the lineup on Saturday against Portland, with the team listing him as probable for the contest. A back problem took Green out of the lineup for the second time this season when Milwaukee played Brooklyn on Thursday. Green has averaged 7.7 […]

Anthony Black Unavailable On Friday

Orlando Magic guard Anthony Black (back) has been ruled out ahead of Friday's game against the Toronto Raptors. Black will miss his third game in a row due to a lower back contusion. The Magic are likely to continue using a committee approach to fill the void. Trevelin Queen, Gary Harris, and Caleb Houstan will […]

Brandon Miller Still Out Versus The Pistons

Charlotte Hornets guard Brandon Miller (ankle) remains out on Friday against the Pistons. He's had the best season of his young career, averaging 21.4 points, 5.1 boards, and 1.1 steals. Unfortunately, the 22-year-old has been sidelined of late, missing time because of an ankle injury. Hopefully, Miller can play on Sunday versus Cleveland. But as […]

Bradley Beal Questionable For Saturday Versus Pacers

According to Kellan Olson of ArizonaSports.com, Phoenix Suns guard/forward Bradley Beal (hip) is questionable for Saturday's matchup with the Pacers due to a left hip contusion. Beal's injury occurred during Tuesday's 117-112 loss to the Grizzlies. He practiced Thursday, but was a limited participant. If the 31-year-old is unavailable, Monte Morris and Ryan Dunn will likely […]

Cam Thomas Uncertain To Face The 76ers

Brooklyn Nets guard Cam Thomas (hamstring) is questionable for Saturday's meeting with the 76ers. The 23-year-old missed over a month because of a hamstring strain. However, he has appeared in two games since returning, most recently amassing 24 points, seven rebounds, and two steals on Thursday against the Milwaukee Bucks. With Cameron Thomas (ankle) doubtful, […]

RJ Barrett Will Miss Another Game On Friday

According to Blake Murphy of Sportsnet.ca, Toronto Raptors forward RJ Barrett (illness)  won't play on Friday against the Orlando Magic. He's under the weather and will miss his third straight contest, so his next chance to suit up will be versus the Bucks on Monday. The 24-year-old is having an excellent season with 23.4 points and 6.8 […]

Jose Alvarado Available Against Wizards

New Orleans Pelicans guard Jose Alvarado (hamstring) is officially available against the Washington Wizards on Friday. The 26-year-old hasn't played since November 11 as he dealt with a hamstring strain while the rest of the team fell apart at the same time. Brandon Ingram (ankle) and Zion Williamson (hamstring) remain sidelined, so Alvarado will likely […]

Alex Caruso Sidelined On Friday Versus Knicks

Oklahoma City Thunder guard/forward Alex Caruso (hip) is dealing with a hip strain and he will not suit up on Friday for their game against the New York Knicks. This will be his sixth consecutive game missed with the same hip injury. During that time, Aaron Wiggins and Ajay Mitchell have seen some extra minutes. […]
