Max Strus Sitting Out Another Game On Saturday

Cleveland Cavaliers guard/forward Max Strus (knee) won't be available for a seventh consecutive contest on Saturday against Houston. He's been kept off the court by a right knee strain. Isaac Okoro should continue to play a larger role with Strus on the shelf, although the return of Donovan Mitchell limits his impact on the offensive […]

Landry Shamet To Remain Out On Saturday

Washington Wizards guard Landry Shamet (calf) will miss a third consecutive game on Saturday versus Chicago. He's dealing with a calf strain, meaning it's looking likely Shamet won't be available for Sunday's clash with Boston either. With Tyus Jones (back) and Deni Avdija (knee) also possibly out on Saturday, Washington's rotation could look very unusual. […]

Kawhi Leonard, Paul George Expected To Play On Friday

Los Angeles Clippers forward Kawhi Leonard (back) and guard Paul George (knee) have been removed from the injury report ahead of Friday's game against the New Orleans Pelicans. There was some uncertainty that the two superstars would sit given it's the second night of a back-to-back set. Despite that, both players are expected to suit […]

James Harden Remains Out On Friday

Los Angeles Clippers guard James Harden (shoulder) will sit out a second consecutive game on Friday against New Orleans. The former MVP has sustained a left shoulder strain, relinquishing his starter's spot to Bones Hyland. Hyland produced a nice 17-point, 11-assist double-double on Thursday versus Chicago, adding five rebounds and four steals. He should be […]

Eric Gordon Returns To Suns Lineup Friday

Phoenix Suns guard/forward Eric Gordon (knee) will return from a two-game absence on Friday versus Charlotte. The veteran sniper has recovered from a left knee contusion. Gordon's addition boosts the quality of Phoenix's second unit, which remains without Josh Okogie (abdomen). The 2017 NBA Sixth Man of the Year has been in a shooting slump […]

Gary Trent Jr. Available On Friday

Toronto Raptors guard Gary Trent Jr. (groin) is available ahead of Friday's game against the Detroit Pistons. Trent is back in the mix following a two-game absence due to a right groin strain. The expectation is that Trent will move back into the starting five, which should shift Gradey Dick to the second unit. However, […]

Cade Cunningham Will Play Against Miami

Detroit Pistons guard Cade Cunningham (knee) will play on Friday night against the Heat. The 22-year-old, who was listed as questionable heading into this contest, has had a productive 2023-24 campaign. He's averaged 22.5 points and 7.5 assists, both career-highs. Cunningham has been known to miss time over the years, so there was some concern […]

Cam Reddish Unlikely To Play Saturday

Los Angeles Lakers guard/forward Cam Reddish (ankle) was unable to play in the last two games due to an ankle issue and it looks like he'll miss a third consecutive contest. Head coach Darvin Ham said that Reddish is "unlikely to be available" for their matchup against the Golden State Warriors. The 24-year-old has had […]

Gabe Vincent Seen At Practice On Friday

Los Angeles Lakers guard Gabe Vincent (knee) hasn't played since December 20 and has only appeared in five games this season. He returned briefly but had some issues with his knee again so the Lakers have been taking every precaution to make sure he can return healthy. On Friday afternoon, Vincent was seen in a […]

James Harden Questionable Friday Against Pelicans

Los Angeles Clippers guard James Harden (shoulder) has received another questionable tag for their Friday night matchup with the New Orleans Pelicans. The former MVP was forced to miss the first half of their back-to-back on Thursday with a shoulder strain and he may be forced to miss a second consecutive contest. Since Russell Westbrook […]

RJ Barrett Will Be Away From The Team For "A While"

Toronto Raptors forward RJ Barrett (personal) will take some time to be with his family after the devastating passing of his brother, Nathan Tyler Barrett. Barrett did not play in the team's last two games and the Raptors put out a statement about the passing of his younger brother. There is no timetable for his […]

Jordan Clarkson Won't Play On Friday

Utah Jazz guard Jordan Clarkson (groin) will come out of the lineup on Friday against Atlanta. The 2021 Sixth Man of the Year has suffered a right groin strain. With Kris Dunn (rest) also out against the Hawks, Keyonte George and Collin Sexton look set for a massive workload against one of the weakest defenses […]

Keldon Johnson Back In Spurs Lineup On Friday

San Antonio Spurs guard/forward Keldon Johnson (illness) isn't on the injury report ahead of Friday's clash with the Nuggets. San Antonio's third-leading scorer will return to the court following a one-game absence -- Johnson missed Tuesday's game versus Houston with a stomach bug. Johnson is nailed to a bench role in San Antonio, but he […]

Anfernee Simons Downgraded Against Knicks

Portland Trail Blazers guard Anfernee Simons (knee) has been downgraded from questionable to out on Thursday night. After missing the first quarter of the season, Simons has been consistently in the lineup since early December. He's only missed five total games since then but will miss his first due to left knee tendinitis against the […]

Quentin Grimes Unavailable On Friday

Detroit Pistons guard/forward Quentin Grimes (knee) won't play on Friday against the Heat. The former Knickerbocker continues to deal with right knee soreness, which has limited him to only two appearances this month. With Grimous out, extra backcourt minutes open up for rookie Marcus Sasser, and Evan Fournier could also get back to logging healthy […]

Ausar Thompson To Remain Out On Friday

Detroit Pistons guard/forward Ausar Thompson (medical illness) will be absent for a third consecutive game on Friday against Miami. Thompson has been taken out of the lineup with a medical illness, and it's unclear when he will be ready to return. The versatile rookie had played in every game during his maiden campaign before an […]

Cade Cunningham Questionable To Play Friday

Detroit Pistons guard Cade Cunningham (knee) is listed as questionable for Friday's matchup against Miami. He's on the injury report with left knee injury management, which puts Cunningham's run of 15 consecutive appearances under a threat. Jaden Ivey's usage should receive a boost without Cunningham, while Marcus Sasser could land in a starter's role. The […]

Anfernee Simons Questionable For Thursday's Game

Portland Trail Blazers guard Anfernee Simons (knee) has been listed as questionable for Thursday's clash with the Knicks. Portland's leading scorer put in a monster performance with 36 points in 43 minutes against Atlanta on Wednesday and might sit out the second leg of a back-to-back. Scoot Henderson was back on the bench Wednesday, seeing […]

Patrick Beverley Good To Go Thursday

Milwaukee Bucks guard Patrick Beverley (hip) is available for Thursday's showdown with Philadelphia. The journeyman played 27 minutes in Tuesday's loss to the Kings. However, he was added to the injury report heading into this contest because of right hip soreness. That said, Beverley's fantasy ceiling isn't high under normal circumstances. But with Khris Middleton […]

Eric Gordon Won't Play Against Boston

Phoenix Suns guard/forward Eric Gordon (knee) has been ruled out for Thursday's big matchup against Boston. The team downgraded the veteran sniper from questionable to out. Gordon will be out of the lineup for a second consecutive game. His absence opens up extra minutes for Grayson Allen and Royce O'Neale. Both players can provide plenty […]

Malik Beasley Ruled Out Against Philly

Milwaukee Bucks guard Malik Beasley (back) won't play on Thursday against Philadelphia. He logged 25 minutes in Tuesday's loss to the Sacramento Kings and was added to the injury report heading into this one because of back spasms. With Khris Middleton (ankle) out for over a month, Beasley has been getting more work, making him […]

James Harden Ruled Out On Thursday

Los Angeles Clippers guard James Harden (shoulder) won't play on Thursday against the Bulls. He's been dealing with a shoulder strain for the last few games but has played through it. However,  there's been talk of lightening his workload heading toward the postseason, so he'll finally get the night off. Fortunately for the Clippers, Kawhi […]

Jaylen Brown Will Play On Thursday

Boston Celtics guard Jaylen Brown (hip) will suit up for Thursday's matchup against Phoenix. The 27-year-old has battled multiple issues of late, including a sacroiliac strain. But his most recent ailment, a hip contusion, jeopardized his chances of playing versus the Suns. Of course, Brown should be starting in all fantasy formats. However, his availability […]

DeMar DeRozan Racks Up 46 Points Versus Indiana

Chicago Bulls guard/forward DeMar DeRozan had a memorable night against Indiana on Wednesday. He produced one of the highest-scoring games of his career with a 46-point effort and helped the team to a 132-129 overtime victory. DeRozan's jump shot with 0.1 seconds remaining on the clock took the game past regulation, and the veteran star […]

Jalen Williams Set To Return For Thunder On Thursday

Oklahoma City Thunder guard/forward Jalen Williams (ankle) has been removed from the injury report ahead of Thursday's clash with Dallas, which signals that he's ready to return to the lineup following a one-game absence. Williams hurt his right ankle on Sunday versus Memphis and had to miss Tuesday's juicy matchup against the Pacers. Gordon Hayward […]

Landry Shamet Out For Meeting With Rockets

Washington Wizards guard Landry Shamet (calf) will be absent for a second consecutive game on Thursday versus Houston. The 27-year-old sniper suffered a left calf strain against Miami on Sunday, and it might take a while until he's healthy to play again. Shamet's absence gives the Washington bench around 16 extra minutes to share around. […]

Josh Okogie Won't Be Available Against Celtics

Phoenix Suns guard/forward Josh Okogie (abdomen) will miss a sixth straight game on Thursday versus Boston. The versatile wingman continues to nurse a lower abdominal strain. Phoenix likely gets Nassir Little (knee) back on Thursday, but with Eric Gordon (knee) questionable for the game, the bench could still be short of quality. Boston gives up […]

Tyler Herro Remains Without Timetable For Return

Miami Heat guard Tyler Herro (foot) is making progress but remains without a timetable for his return, according to head coach Erik Spoelstra. He was unavailable for a ninth consecutive contest as the Heat had a 2023 NBA Finals rematch with Denver on Wednesday. The next game comes on Friday, when the team starts a […]

Luka Doncic Exits Thursday's Win Over Golden State

Dallas Mavericks guard Luka Doncic (hamstring) exited Wednesday's win over the Golden State Warriors because of hamstring soreness. He did not return. The 25-year-old scored 21 points, shooting a shoddy 7-for-18 from the field and 1-for-6 from deep, adding nine assists and three rebounds in 30 minutes. Doncic has had an MVP-caliber year despite missing […]

MarJon Beauchamp Questionable Thursday

Milwaukee Bucks guard/forward MarJon Beauchamp (back) is listed as questionable for Thursday's matchup with the Philadelphia 76ers. He's missed the last three contests due to lower back and foot issues.
