De'Anthony Melton Misses Tuesday's Practice

Philadelphia 76ers guard De'Anthony Melton (back) was unable to suit up for Tuesday's practice, according to head coach Nick Nurse. It seems unlikely that Melton is going to be able to suit up for Wednesday's play-in game against the Miami Heat. His absence won't be a huge loss, but it does impact their rotation. The […]

De'Anthony Melton Misses Practice On Monday

Philadelphia 76ers guard De'Anthony Melton (back) didn't practice on Monday. The 25-year-old has been bothered by a back injury for most of the season. He's appeared in only seven games since the start of 2024, and he combined for only 21 minutes in the previous two contests before sitting out for Sunday's regular-season finale versus […]

Cade Cunningham Hoping To Improve In Several Areas

Detroit Pistons guard Cade Cunningham is coming off his best season since entering the league as the No. 1 overall pick in 2021. He appeared in 62 games, averaging 22.7 points and 7.5 assists. But the 22-year-old still has things he'd like to improve throughout the offseason, specifically his conditioning. His ballhandling is also something […]

Gary Payton II Out Again On Tuesday

Golden State Warriors guard Gary Payton II (calf) won't suit up for Tuesday's Play-In meeting with the Sacramento Kings. The 31-year-old missed the final three contests of the regular season because of a strained calf. With that in mind, Payton only averaged 5.5 points and 2.6 rebounds throughout the 2023-24 campaign, so his absence won't […]

Bradley Beal Leads Phoenix Into Playoffs With 36-Point Effort

Phoenix Suns guard Bradley Beal had an outstanding game in Sunday's regular-season finale against Minnesota, leading all scorers with 36 points in a 125-106 win. The Suns were in a must-win situation to qualify directly into the 2024 NBA Playoffs and did the business in impressive fashion with Beal leading the way. He was a […]

Max Strus Records First Career Triple-Double

Cleveland Cavaliers guard/forward Max Strus had a memorable outing in Sunday's regular-season finale against Charlotte, picking up his first career triple-double in a 120-110 loss. With Donovan Mitchell (knee) and Darius Garland (back) rested for the contest, Strus got to play the role of a playmaker and totaled a career-high 11 assists while scoring 14 […]

CJ McCollum Remains Hot For Pelicans Ahead Of Play-In

New Orleans Pelicans guard CJ McCollum netted a team-high 25 points on 9-for-19 shooting in Sunday's 124-108 loss to the Lakers. He hit 4-for-9 from downtown and was also among the team leaders with seven assists, completing his line with four rebounds. McCollum had a fairly inconsistent regular-season campaign, but he's heated up at a […]

Brandon Ingram Returns With Efficient Performance

New Orleans Pelicans guard/forward Brandon Ingram logged 23 minutes in his first game back from a knee injury in Sunday's losing effort against the Lakers. The Pelicans produced a sub-par performance in a must-win game, but Ingram played well in his first action since March 21, shooting 6-for-9 from the field en route to 13 […]

Payton Pritchard Has Another Stellar Performance

Boston Celtics guard Payton Pritchard scored a game-high 38 points in Sunday's 10-point win over the Wizards. The reserve nearly had a triple-double, adding 12 assists and nine rebounds. The C's were locked into the No. 1 spot in the Eastern Conference heading into this one, so the starters got the night off. Although Pritchard […]

Jrue Holiday Sidelined Against Washington

Boston Celtics guard Jrue Holiday (knee) won't play on Sunday against the Wizards. Holiday has been banged up all year. With that in mind, the C's need him as healthy as possible for the playoffs, so he'll sit out on Sunday. The C's also won't have Jayson Tatum, Kristaps Porzingis, Al Horford, Jaylen Brown, and […]

Duncan Robinson Uncertain To Play In Sunday’s Game

Miami Heat guard Duncan Robinson (back) is considered questionable for Sunday's contest against the Toronto Raptors. The sharpshooter sat out the previous three games because of a back injury, and he recently stated he does not have a timetable to return. It is somewhat encouraging that he is listed as questionable for the contest instead […]

Dennis Schroder Won't Play On Sunday Afternoon

Brooklyn Nets guard Dennis Schroder (Achilles) won't play on Sunday versus the 76ers. The journeyman has played well since his trade to Brooklyn ahead of the deadline, averaging 14.6 points and 6.0 assists while shooting a career-high 41.2% from behind the arc. Schroder wants to remain a Net, so this may not be his final […]

Derrick White Unavailable For Sunday's Game

Boston Celtics guard Derrick White (ankle) is out for Sunday's season finale with the Washington Wizards. Fantasy managers should expect the 29-year-old to be available for the playoffs. The entire Celtics starting five is unavailable, plus Al Horford (toe) has been ruled out. Payton Pritchard will run the backcourt for now, while Jaden Springer and […]

Donovan Mitchell Sitting Out Sunday’s Game

Cleveland Cavaliers guard Donovan Mitchell (knee) will not play in Sunday's regular-season finale against the Charlotte Hornets. He is listed as out because of left knee injury management. The Cavaliers are playing it safe with their star guard and are turning their attention toward the playoffs. Caris LeVert (knee) will also be sidelined, while Darius […]

Luke Kennard Not Playing On Sunday

Memphis Grizzlies guard Luke Kennard (knee) is out for Sunday's season finale against the Denver Nuggets. This will be his sixth straight game on the sidelines because of a left knee injury. The Grizzlies have been ravaged by injuries all season long, and they will continue to rely on a group of young players for […]

Vince Williams Jr. Remains Sidelined For Sunday Versus Denver

Memphis Grizzlies guard Vince Williams Jr. (knee) has been ruled out for Sunday's regular-season finale with the Nuggets. Williams Jr. will miss his 17th consecutive game with tendonitis in his left patellar tendon. Scotty Pippen Jr. and Jordan Goodwin could be solid DFS options and will see many extra minutes with most of the Grizzlies […]

James Harden Questionable For Sunday

Los Angeles Clippers guard James Harden (foot) is considered questionable for Sunday's contest against the Houston Rockets because of right foot inflammation. It would not be surprising to see the Clippers play it safe and rest their veteran guard, as Los Angeles is already locked into the fourth seed in the Western Conference. Even if […]

Ayo Dosunmu Questionable For Sunday Afternoon

Chicago Bulls guard Ayo Dosunmu (quadriceps) is questionable for Sunday's game in New York. He missed the Bulls' previous three contests because of a quad contusion. But with Chicago locked into a Play-In spot, there's a good chance he'll sit for a fourth. As of Saturday afternoon, DeMar DeRozan, Coby White, and Nikola Vucevic aren't […]

De'Anthony Melton May Miss Sunday's Game

Philadelphia 76ers guard De'Anthony Melton (back) is questionable for Sunday's game versus the Nets. He's only appeared in seven games since the beginning of 2024 because of a back injury. However, despite playing in Philly's previous two contests, the 25-year-old has logged just over 20 minutes combined. The Sixers need him healthy for the postseason, […]

Klay Thompson Available Versus The Pels

Golden State Warriors guard Klay Thompson (knee) will play on Friday against the Pelicans. Thompson had a team-high 27 points in Tuesday's win over the Los Angeles Lakers. However, he didn't suit up for Thursday's narrow win over the Portland Trail Blazers. But the Warriors took care of business without the 34-year-old, so he's ready […]

Dejounte Murray Back In Action On Friday

Atlanta Hawks guard Dejounte Murray (quadriceps) will get back to work against the Timberwolves on Friday. He missed the second leg of a back-to-back last time out against Charlotte, but the team has upgraded Murray from questionable to available ahead of Friday's matchup. Murray has been one of the most productive fantasy performers in the […]

Bruce Brown Cleared To Return On Friday

Toronto Raptors guard/forward Bruce Brown (knee) will hop back into the lineup on Friday versus Miami. He's recovered from a right knee problem that kept Brown sidelined for Wednesday's contest against Brooklyn. Brown has averaged 9.6 points, 3.9 rebounds, and 2.8 assists with the Raptors since being acquired in January from Indiana. He can make […]

Gary Trent Jr. Ready To Return On Friday

Toronto Raptors guard/forward Gary Trent Jr. (back) is set to rejoin the action on Friday against Miami. He'll return to the lineup after missing one game with back spasms. Gradey Dick will likely be pushed to the bench by Trent Jr.'s return, although he should still have a big part to play in the rotation. […]

Josh Giddey Out On Friday

Oklahoma City Thunder guard Josh Giddey (hip) won't play on Friday versus the Bucks. The 21-year-old nearly had a triple-double in Wednesday's blowout over the San Antonio Spurs. But he'll sit this one out because of a bruised hip, meaning his next chance to suit up will be in Sunday's regular-season finale. With that said, […]

Jrue Holiday, Derrick White Out On Friday

Boston Celtics guards Jrue Holiday (knee) and Derrick White (ankle) won't be in the lineup on Friday versus Charlotte. Boston will run with its bench mob against the Hornets, as the entire starting five plus Al Horford (toe) has been ruled out. Payton Pritchard will get the keys to the backcourt, with Jaden Springer and […]

Jaylen Brown Won't Play On Friday

Boston Celtics guard/forward Jaylen Brown (hand) will come out of the lineup as the team finishes a back-to-back on Friday against Charlotte. Brown is dealing with a hand sprain, but this is more of a rest day for him, with the C's having already secured the best record in the league and playing for a […]

Dennis Schroder Won't Play On Friday

Brooklyn Nets guard Dennis Schroder (Achilles) won't play on Friday against the Knicks. The veteran has played well since getting moved to Brooklyn. However, the team has nothing left to play for, so Schroder may be done for the remainder of the 2023-24 campaign. With Dennis Smith Jr. (hip) also out, Jacob Gilyard (hip) could […]

DeMar DeRozan Rested On Friday

Chicago Bulls guard/forward DeMar DeRozan (rest) will get the night off on Friday versus Washington. The Bulls have nothing left to play for and complete a back-to-back set, so it's completely understandable that the team gives DeRozan some time off. Coby White is set to be the only regular starter in the lineup and should […]

Jordan Poole Out Versus Bulls

Washington Wizards guard Jordan Poole (illness) won't be in the lineup on Friday against Chicago. The team has downgraded him from questionable to out. Poole's absence is good news for Jared Butler and Johnny Davis, who should receive a big boost in playing time, as there aren't many backcourt options left for the Wizards. There's […]

Kris Dunn Sits Out Fourth Consecutive Game

Utah Jazz guard Kris Dunn (foot) will miss a fourth consecutive game on Friday against the Clippers. He remains on the shelf due to inflammation in his left foot. The Jazz backcourt is down to bare bones, meaning fantasy managers should target Keyonte George and Talen Horton-Tucker. Johnny Juzang is also among the beneficiaries in […]
