Matisse Thybulle Ruled Out Monday
Portland Trail Blazers guard/forward Matisse Thybulle (hip) won't play on Monday versus Minnesota. He's been forced out of the lineup by a sore left hip. Thybulle, who turned 27 on Monday, will miss only his third game of the season. With Deandre Ayton (hand), Jerami Grant (quadriceps), and Toumani Camara (illness) also ruled out for […]
Russell Westbrook Has Surgery On Monday
Los Angeles Clippers guard Russell Westbrook (hand) underwent surgery on Monday. The 35-year-old fractured his left hand on Friday night versus the Washington Wizards. He's expected to make a complete recovery, and there is hope he'll be back before the postseason commences. Nonetheless, Westbrook is nowhere near the player he once was. He's averaged a […]
Cameron Payne Questionable For Tuesday Night
Philadelphia 76ers guard Cameron Payne (illness) is questionable for Tuesday's game against the Brooklyn Nets. He was listed on Sunday's injury report heading into the meeting with the Dallas Mavericks. However, he was ruled out before opening tip and left the arena. The 29-year-old has averaged 9.7 points and 3.3 assists in nine games with […]
Donovan Mitchell Out At Least Three More Games
Cleveland Cavaliers guard Donovan Mitchell (knee) will miss at least the next three games. The All-Star has sat out the last two contests because of a bone bruise in his left knee. While many had hoped the injury would only be a short-term issue, Chris Fedor of The Plain Dealer reported Mitchell underwent Platelet Rich […]
Keyonte George Picks Up Questionable Tag Due To Illness
Utah Jazz guard Keyonte George (illness) has been added to the injury report as questionable for Monday's game against Washington. The 20-year-old rookie has caught an illness bug, which might force him to miss his seventh game of the season. George has started each of the last eight games with the Jazz, exploding for a […]
Ben Simmons Won't Return On Monday
Brooklyn Nets guard/forward Ben Simmons (back) has been ruled out for Monday's matchup against Memphis. He will miss a fourth consecutive contest. Simmons' absence has helped Dennis Schroder nail down a starting role, while Dennis Smith Jr. has logged at least 20 minutes off the Nets bench in the last three games Simmons has missed. […]
Devin Booker Expected To Miss 7-10 Days
Phoenix Suns guard/forward Devin Booker (ankle) is set to miss 7-10 days of action, according to The Athletic's Shams Charania. Booker hurt his right ankle in a game against Houston at the weekend. He was already absent for Sunday's matchup against Oklahoma City and will miss at least three further contests. With Booker out, Bradley […]
Cam Reddish Expected To Play Monday
Los Angeles Lakers guard/forward Cam Reddish (ankle) is probable for Monday's contest against the Thunder. He's set to make his fourth consecutive appearance after returning to the lineup from an ankle injury. Reddish's addition gives the Lakers another body to throw into the battle, but he's been anonymous fantasy-wise, recording only 2.7 points, 1.7 rebounds, […]
MarJon Beauchamp Likely Available Monday
Milwaukee Bucks guard/forward MarJon Beauchamp (back) has been listed a probable for Monday's matchup against the Clippers. He's dealing with lower back spasms, but it looks like Beauchamp will be good to go if his services are needed. That's a big if, as Beauchamp has averaged only five minutes across his last 10 appearances for […]
Fantasy Basketball Early-Week Streamers: Week 19
Happy Monday, Fantasy Basketball Heads! My colleague Lance has been covering early-week streamers for you this season, but I am filling in for him this week. I am going to mess with the format a little and focus on which players I would stream on each specific day - Monday AND Tuesday (with a second […]
Cam Thomas Out Again Versus Memphis
Brooklyn Nets guard Cam Thomas (ankle, foot) won't play in Monday's matchup with Memphis. The 22-year-old injured his ankle and foot late in a meeting with the Grizzlies a week ago, keeping him off the floor for Brooklyn's previous three contests. As a result, Dennis Schroder has been more involved offensively. However, with Ben Simmons […]
Jordan Clarkson Off The Injury Report
Utah Jazz guard Jordan Clarkson (illness) isn't listed on the NBA's official injury report heading toward Monday's contest against the Washington Wizards. The veteran wasn't feeling well and didn't suit up on Saturday against the Miami Heat, allowing Talen Horton-Tucker to get more involved. Clarkson combined for just nine points in his previous two games, […]
Bradley Beal Expected To Play On Sunday
Phoenix Suns guard Bradley Beal (hamstring) is listed as probable for their game against the Oklahoma City Thunder. The star combo guard played in their last game on Saturday against the Houston Rockets but he was only able to play 20 minutes. In that time, he registered just seven points, two rebounds, two assists, and […]
Matisse Thybulle Uncertain Against Minnesota
Portland Trail Blazers guard Matisse Thybulle (hip) has drawn a questionable tag for Monday's game against the Minnesota Timberwolves. The defensive specialist has only missed two games all season, but he's dealing with hip soreness right now which could potentially knock him out of a third game. He hasn't been the best fantasy asset despite […]
Alex Caruso Uncertain For Monday
Chicago Bulls guard Alex Caruso (hamstring) is listed as questionable ahead of Monday's game against the Sacramento Kings. This is concerning as the Bulls are already thin at the guard spot right now. The absence of Caruso would mean players such as Dalen Terry and Onuralp Bitim would see increased run. Andre Drummond registered 17 […]
Bilal Coulibaly Tagged As Questionable For Monday
Washington Wizards guard Bilal Coulibaly (pelvis) is listed as questionable ahead of Monday's game against the Utah Jazz. The young guard has missed each of the last three games due to a right pelvic contusion. When healthy, Coulibaly hasn't been a viable fantasy option lately. Landry Shamet has been filling in as the starter over […]
Devin Booker Officially Out Against OKC
Phoenix Suns guard Devin Booker (ankle) won't play on Sunday versus OKC. He injured his ankle and exited Saturday's loss to the Houston Rockets and didn't return, so most had already planned to be without him. Although X-rays were negative, fantasy managers should expect the 27-year-old to miss at least a few games. Luckily for […]
Brandin Podziemski Out Again Versus Boston
Golden State Warriors guard Brandin Podziemski (knee) remains out for Sunday's game in Boston. He'll now miss a second consecutive contest. But considering he had a questionable tag, it suggests he could be back when the Warriors meet the Bucks on Wednesday night. Nonetheless, with Andrew Wiggins (personal) also out, Klay Thompson, who had 14 […]
R.J. Hampton Signing 10-Day Deal With Washington
Guard R.J. Hampton has agreed to a 10-day contract with the Washington Wizards. The 2020 No. 24 overall pick has bounced around since entering the league, suiting up for the Nuggets, Magic, Pistons, and Heat. He appeared in eight games for Miami this season. However, Hampton averaged just 1.3 points and 1.0 assists before he […]
Devin Booker Avoids Serious Injury
Phoenix Suns guard Devin Booker (ankle) was forced to exit late in the fourth quarter during Friday's game against the Houston Rockets. Booker caught his foot on Royce O'Neale and rolled his ankle with roughly a minute left in the game. He limped back to the locker room to undergo further testing. Luckily, the X-rays […]
Brandin Podziemski Questionable Against Boston
Golden State Warriors guard Brandin Podziemski (knee) is questionable for Sunday's game in Boston. The rookie is battling right knee inflammation, likely emanating from Thursday's matchup with the New York Knicks. He didn't play on Friday night against Toronto, resulting in Klay Thompson returning to the starting lineup. Thompson played well, too, ending the night […]
Cody Martin Out On Sunday
Charlotte Hornets guard/forward Cody Martin (ankle) isn't available for Sunday's matchup with the Toronto Raptors. The 28-year-old had 12 points and two blocks in 32 minutes in Friday's game against Philadelphia. But he tweaked his ankle in that one, so he's out on Sunday. Unfortunately, Martin has missed plenty of time over the years because […]
Seth Curry Won't Play Versus Toronto
Charlotte Hornets guard Seth Curry (ankle) won't play on Sunday against the Toronto Raptors. Brandon Miller (back) wasn't available for Friday's meeting with the 76ers, so Curry got the start. However, he suffered a sprained right ankle, ending his night prematurely. Nonetheless, the 33-year-old could miss more games moving ahead. But with Miller listed as […]
Christian Braun Gets Starting Nod
Denver Nuggets guard Christian Braun will move into the starting five ahead of Saturday's game against the Los Angeles Lakers. The 22-year-old will be the lone change to the starting five on Saturday. Fellow guard Kentavious Caldwell-Pope (personal) will sit this game out which will give Braun an expanded role. Despite the extra minutes, Braun […]
Shake Milton Expected To Sign With Knicks
The New York Knicks are expected to sign guard Shake Milton once he clears waivers. Milton agreed to a buyout with the Detroit Pistons on Friday. A move to the Knicks makes sense given their lack of depth at the guard spot. Miles McBride has been playing significant minutes behind starter Jalen Brunson. Milton will […]
Luke Kennard Available On Saturday
Memphis Grizzlies guard Luke Kennard (illness) is available ahead of Saturday's game against the Portland Trail Blazers. The Grizzlies will get some reinforcements with both Kennard and John Konchar (thumb) available to play on Saturday. Kennard figures to move back into the starting five which will shift Jordan Goodwin to the bench. Konchar will likely […]
Eric Gordon To Sit Out Saturday
Phoenix Suns guard Eric Gordon (groin) has been ruled out ahead of Saturday's game against the Houston Rockets. Gordon continues to be sidelined due to a lingering groin issue. He will be joined by Nassir Little (knee) during Saturday's game. The absence of Gordon should mean more playing time for Royce O'Neale. He'll be bounced […]
Kentavious Caldwell-Pope Downgraded To Out
Denver Nuggets guard Kentavious Caldwell-Pope (personal) has been downgraded to out ahead of Saturday's game against the Los Angeles Lakers. The Nuggets could be shorthanded here with Jamal Murray (ankle) listed as questionable for this game. Justin Holiday figures to fill the spot in the starting five left by Caldwell-Pope. Despite the extra minutes, Holiday […]
Bradley Beal Will Play On Saturday
Phoenix Suns guard Bradley Beal (hamstring) is available ahead of Saturday's game against the Houston Rockets. As expected, Beal will make his return to the court after missing each of the last five games due to a left hamstring injury. His return will shift Royce O'Neale back to the bench. O'Neale won't have as much […]
Anthony Edwards Tagged As Questionable For Sunday
Minnesota Timberwolves guard Anthony Edwards (ankle) is listed as questionable ahead of Sunday's game against the Los Angeles Clippers. This doesn't come as a surprise after Edwards was forced to exit early on Friday. Nickeil Alexander-Walker will likely be given the starting nod if Edwards isn't able to suit up on Sunday. He'd be worth […]
