Joe Harris Listed As Probable For Friday

Brooklyn Nets guard/forward Joe Harris (ankle) is now listed as probable for Friday's game against the Toronto Raptors. He should bring some much-needed three-point shooting to the team after they shot only 30.3% from deep against the New Orleans Pelicans. Last season before getting injured, Harris shot a scorching 46.6% from three. That was on […]

Wesley Matthews Good To Go Thursday

Milwaukee Bucks guard/forward Wesley Matthews (ankle) has been removed from the injury report and is ready to play in the team's season opener on Thursday against Philadelphia. The veteran sniper missed the preseason with an ankle problem but will now provide the Bucks with a warm body to throw on the court. Matthews doesn't have […]

Donovan Mitchell Pours In 31 Points In First Game

Cleveland Cavaliers guard Donovan Mitchell made his regular season debut with his new team on Wednesday night.

His final stat line was 31 points, nine assists, […]

Adding to the scoring, he registered five rebounds and two assists on 50% shooting from the floor. Right now, the starting roles […]

Phoenix Suns guard Devin Booker was red-hot from the floor on Wednesday night. He finished the game with 28 points, nine assists, four rebounds and one block while shooting 10-for-20 overall. His damage came from midrange while attacking the basket all night long, as shown by only taking one three-point attempt. He played a whopping […]

Dejounte Murray Shines In Hawks Debut

Atlanta Hawks guard Dejounte Murray had a double-double during the 117-107 win over Houston on Wednesday. Murray, who was traded by the Spurs in the offseason, finished with 20 points, 11 assists, and five rebounds while showing his defensive prowess by amassing five steals and a block. Although shooting percentages weren't the best, much to […]

Quentin Grimes Hopeful To Play On Friday

New York Knicks guard Quentin Grimes (foot) is hopeful to make his season debut on Friday against the Detroit Pistons. The 22-year-old has been dealing with a lingering left foot issue since the beginning of training camp. He sat out of the season opener on Wednesday, but wants to get back on the court for […]

Cody Martin Exits During Wednesday's Game

Charlotte Hornets forward Cody Martin (quad) was forced to exit early during Wednesday's season opener. The 27-year-old left in the first quarter and didn't return to the contest. At the moment, Martin should be considered day-to-day with a sore left quad. This is a shame after Martin missed time in the preseason due to a […]

Alex Caruso Available Against Miami

Chicago Bulls guard Alex Caruso (calf) will play during the season-opener against Miami. He was trending in that direction all along, so his availability isn't a surprise. With Zach LaVine (knee) out, Caruso will likely enter the starting lineup, where he averaged 5.7 points, 4.4 assists, and 1.2 steals in 18 starts in 2021-22. He's […]

Zach LaVine Out On Wednesday Versus Miami

Chicago Bulls guard Zach LaVine (knee) won't play on Wednesday night against the Miami Heat. LaVine is out for "left knee management," although it's unknown if he'll miss any more games moving ahead. With Alex Caruso (calf) available, he will likely slide into the starting lineup. The 28-year-old averaged 5.7 points, 4.4 assists, and 1.2 […]

Quentin Grimes Ruled Out Versus Memphis

New York Knicks guard Quentin Grimes (foot) won't play on Wednesday against the Memphis Grizzlies. The 22-year-old has been bothered by left foot soreness, an injury that could keep him out beyond the season opener. However, considering Grimes is deep down on the depth chart, his absence won't impact many fantasy managers.

Victor Oladipo Ruled Out Against Bulls

Miami Heat guard Victor Oladipo (knee) won't play in the season-opener against the Bulls. The veteran has a bout of tendonitis in his left knee, so it's certainly possible he will miss more time beyond Wednesday night. As a result, Max Strus and Duncan Robinson should see more minutes. However, with Jimmy Butler, Bam Adebayo, […]

Alex Caruso Expected To Play Against Miami

Chicago Bulls guard Alex Caruso (calf) is expected to play on Wednesday versus the Miami Heat. Lonzo Ball (knee) is already out, and Zach LaVine (knee) is questionable, so Caruso may see even more minutes than anticipated. The 28-year-old was productive last season despite playing in only 41 games due to injury, averaging 7.4 points, […]

Zach LaVine Could Miss Season Opener

Chicago Bulls guard Zach LaVine (knee) is currently listed as questionable for Wednesday's season opener against the Miami Heat. The 27-year-old continues to work his way back from arthroscopic knee surgery back in May. The expectation was that LaVine wouldn't be restricted to begin the season. However, the Bulls are going to be extremely cautious […]

Kevin Huerter Gets Through Tuesday's Practice

Sacramento Kings guard Kevin Huerter (ankle) was a full participant during Tuesday's practice. The 24-year-old is expected to suit up for the season opener on Wednesday. He has been dealing with ankle soreness, but it shouldn't be bad enough to hold him out of this game. Malik Monk would benefit the most, assuming Huerter is […]

Klay Thompson, Draymond Green Likely To Be Limited

Golden State Warriors guard Klay Thompson and forward Draymond Green are expected to be somewhat limited during Tuesday' season opener. Neither player is dealing with an injury, but the team doesn't want to push it. Head coach Steve Kerr mentioned that Thompson and Green are unlikely to exceed 30 minutes during Tuesday's game against the […]

Victor Oladipo Questionable For Season Opener

Miami Heat guard Victor Oladipo (knee) is listed on the injury report as questionable for their game Wednesday against the Chicago Bulls. The good news is that head coach Erik Spoelstra confirmed that Oladipo's knee tendinitis is not in his surgically repaired knee. If the pain proves to be too much, Tyler Herro and Duncan […]

Kevin Porter Jr. Signs Four-Year Extension

Houston Rockets guard Kevin Porter Jr. has agreed to a four-year, $82.5 million contract extension. The 22-year-old got off to a rocky start when he was with Cleveland in terms of off-the-court issues and injuries. After being traded to Houston in 2021-22, he seemingly started to mature and has been flashing his upside and potential. […]

Edmond Sumner "Has A Chance" To Play Against Pels

Brooklyn Nets guard Edmond Sumner (hip) "has a chance" to play in Wednesday's season-opener against the Pelicans. The 26-year-old is expected to receive some minutes early in the season while Seth Curry (ankle) and Joe Harris (foot) work their way back from their respective surgeries. With that said, his absence likely won't impact managers, especially […]

Russell Westbrook Listed As Day-To-Day

Los Angeles Lakers guard Russell Westbrook (hamstring) is listed as day-to-day. As a result, there's a chance he won't play in the season-opener against the Golden State Warriors. The 33-year-old tweaked his hamstring during Friday's preseason finale versus the Sacramento Kings. Fortunately, there is no structural damage, so even if Westbrook doesn't suit up on […]

Seth Curry Out On Wednesday, As Expected

Brooklyn Nets guard Seth Curry (ankle) won't play in Wednesday's matchup against the New Orleans Pelicans, as expected. The veteran continues to work his way back from offseason ankle surgery, although he's not ready. Fortunately, he's been doing some four-on-four work in recent practices, so it appears he's nearing a return. With Joe Harris (foot) […]

Grizzlies Exercise Rookie Scale Option On Desmond Bane

Memphis Grizzlies guard Desmond Bane had his 2023-24 rookie scale contract option exercised by the team. The 24-year-old is coming off a breakout season, averaging 18.2 points, 4.4 points, 2.7 assists, and 1.2 steals while shooting an impressive 43.6% from downtown. With the latest move, the Grizzlies will receive Bane's services at a discounted rate, […]

OKC Adding Isaiah Joe

Free-agent guard Isaiah Joe will sign a multi-year contract with OKC. Joe has spent his entire two-year career in Philly, where he averaged only 3.7 points and 1.0 rebounds in 96 games. While the 23-year-old has a great deal of potential, he's still far from being a day-to-day fantasy producer. However, Joe is someone to […]

Tre Mann Has Option Picked Up By OKC

Oklahoma City Thunder guard Tre Mann had his third-year option exercised by the team on Saturday. The No. 18 overall pick of the 2021 NBA Draft averaged 10.4 points in 60 games last season. However, as a starter, he averaged 14.4 points, 3.3 rebounds, 2.3 assists, and 1.0 steals in 26 games. Mann is expected […]

OKC Exercises Option On Josh Giddey

Oklahoma City Thunder guard Josh Giddey had his third-year option picked up by the team on Saturday. The No. 6 overall selection of the 2021 NBA Draft averaged 12.5 points, 7.8 boards, and 6.4 assists in 54 games. Unfortunately, his rookie campaign ended early due to a hip injury. Giddey is now healthy heading into […]

Warriors, Jordan Poole Agreed On Extension

Golden State Warriors guard Jordan Poole has agreed to a four-year, $140 million contract extension. The 23-year-old had a breakout year in 2022-23, finishing with a career-high 18.5 points, 4.0 assists, and 3.4 rebounds in 76 games. Poole will continue to play a pivotal role from the bench this season, although he'll also make some […]

Klay Thompson Makes Preseason Debut

Golden State Warriors guard Klay Thompson made his preseason debut on Friday. The veteran sharpshooter registered 17 points, three rebounds, and one assist during Friday's preseason loss to the Denver Nuggets. It's nice to see Thompson back on the court and playing well. His shooting percentage was down last season, but Thompson should continue to […]

Russell Westbrook Injures Hamstring On Friday Night

Los Angeles Lakers guard Russell Westbrook (hamstring) did not return to Friday's preseason game versus the Sacramento Kings. Head coach Darvin Ham had the 33-year-old come off the bench to see things would play out. However, Ham couldn't assess things properly, especially since Westbrook logged only five minutes before exiting. As a result, it's unknown […]

Jordan Poole Finalizing Extension With Warriors

Golden State Warriors guard Jordan Poole is finalizing a four-year extension with the organization. The 23-year-old has a formal agreement on an extension worth $140 million over the next four seasons. Poole was a key part of the Warriors roster during their title run last season. This core isn't getting any younger, so locking up […]
