Happy Thursday, RotoBallers! Welcome back to our weekly showdown.

Bennedict Mathurin Listed As Questionable Thursday
Indiana Pacers guard/forward Bennedict Mathurin (ankle) is considered questionable for Thursday's clash with the Kings.

Ayo Dosunmu Questionable For Thursday
Chicago Bulls guard Ayo Dosunmu (shoulder) is listed as questionable for Thursday's game against Toronto. He's dealing with a left shoulder issue, which limited Dosunmu to only a 19-minute outing on Monday versus Cleveland.

Gradey Dick Questionable Wednesday
Toronto Raptors shooting guard Gradey Dick (thumb) is questionable for Wednesday's meeting with Miami. The rookie has sprained his right thumb. Dick was a high draft pick in the summer but hasn't made much of an impact for the Raptors during his first year in the league. He's seen the court in just 20 games, […]
Gary Trent Jr. Questionable For Wednesday
Toronto Raptors guard Gary Trent Jr. (illness) is questionable for Wednesday's game against Miami. He's been struck by an illness and couldn't play Monday versus Boston.

Josh Hart Iffy For Wednesday's Game
New York Knicks guard/forward Josh Hart (knee) is in danger of missing his first game of the season Wednesday against Houston. He's listed on the injury report as questionable with left patellar tendinopathy. Hart is New York's biggest contributor off the bench, and his absence would open up a large chunk of minutes. Quentin Grimes […]
Bojan Bogdanovic Likely Returning On Wednesday
Detroit Pistons guard/forward Bojan Bogdanovic (calf) is on track to return to the court Wednesday versus Minnesota. The team has listed him as probable for the game. Bogdanovic has been unavailable for two games while nursing left calf soreness. The Croatian veteran is once again among Detroit's top scorers in 2023-24, averaging 19.8 points per […]
Anthony Edwards Uncertain For Wednesday
Minnesota Timberwolves guard Anthony Edwards (knee) is listed as questionable ahead of Wednesday's game against the Detroit Pistons. Edwards played 38 minutes on Sunday with a wrap around his left knee. Given how poorly the Pistons are playing right now, the Wolves may decide to give Edwards a rest day. Fantasy managers will have to […]
Caris LeVert Lands On Injury Report
Cleveland Cavaliers guard Caris LeVert (wrist) is listed as questionable ahead of Wednesday's game against the Milwaukee Bucks. LeVert finds himself on the injury report due to right wrist soreness. He looked fine during his 30 minutes of playing time against the Chicago Bulls on Monday. The expectation is that LeVert will play, but fantasy […]
Kentavious Caldwell-Pope Questionable Tuesday
Denver Nuggets guard/forward Kentavious Caldwell-Pope (back/neck) is listed as questionable for Tuesday's battle with Philadelphia. He continues to deal with a cervicothoracic strain. The questionable tag leaves his status up in the air, but Caldwell-Pope has played in 14 consecutive games, and the injury doesn't appear to have affected him much. The veteran has scored […]
Ayo Dosunmu Aggravates Shoulder Injury
Chicago Bulls guard Ayo Dosunmu (shoulder) missed the fourth quarter versus Cleveland on Monday after aggravating a shoulder injury. He finished the contest as Chicago's leading bench scorer, putting up 10 points in 19 minutes on 3-for-7 shooting.

Bennedict Mathurin Hurts Left Ankle Monday
Indiana Pacers guard/forward Bennedict Mathurin sprained his left ankle against Utah on Monday and didn't finish the game. It was an awful ending to Mathurin's first start since Nov. 19. He had 11 points in the contest with 5-for-10 shooting. Mathurin has averaged the fifth-most minutes among Pacers players this season and is sitting third […]
Jamal Murray Listed As Questionable For Tuesday
Denver Nuggets guard Jamal Murray (tibia) has popped up on the injury report and has been listed as questionable with bilateral tibia inflammation. The 26-year-old hasn't missed a game since December 12 and was able to play a full 36 minutes on Sunday in an eight-point win over the Indiana Pacers. With Murray's injury history, […]
Gary Trent Jr. Ruled Out On Monday
Toronto Raptors guard Gary Trent Jr. (illness) wasn't listed on the injury report until later Monday evening and he was already ruled out with a non-COVID illness. He's been receiving around 25 minutes a night, so it leaves a big hole in the bench unit. Gradey Dick (thumb) was also ruled out, so the backcourt […]
Jimmy Butler Will Return on Monday
Miami Heat forward Jimmy Butler (toe) has been upgraded from questionable to available on Monday and will play his first game since December 30. He's actually only played one game since December 18 due to the right-toe MP joint sprain he's been dealing with, so fantasy managers will welcome back a player of his caliber […]
Max Strus Upgraded To Active On Monday
Cleveland Cavaliers guard Max Strus (knee) has been upgraded and will play on Monday night against the Chicago Bulls. The 27-year-old was only able to play around seven minutes in their last game against the Brooklyn Nets. This comes as great news since Darius Garland (jaw) remains sidelined. Strus will also remain in the starting […]
Franz Wagner Remains Out Monday
Orlando Magic guard/forward Franz Wagner (ankle) will miss a sixth game in a row Monday versus the Knicks. He continues to deal with a right ankle sprain suffered on Jan. 3 in a game against Sacramento. Wagner's injury has helped Chuma Okeke and Caleb Houstan break into the starting five. Both players have had a […]
Jaylen Brown Could Miss Monday's Action
Boston Celtics guard/forward Jaylen Brown (knee) is back on the injury report ahead of Monday's clash with Toronto. He's considered questionable for the contest due to right knee hyperextension. Al Horford or Sam Hauser should get the start if Brown can't play on Monday. It's also worth noting that Kristaps Porzingis had his best game […]
Shai Gilgeous-Alexander Questionable Monday
Oklahoma City Thunder guard Shai Gilgeous-Alexander (knee) is questionable to play against the Lakers on Monday. The Thunder star has sprained his right knee and could be absent for the first time this season.

Desmond Bane To Miss At Least Six Weeks
Memphis Grizzlies guard Desmond Bane (ankle) has been diagnosed with a grade 3 ankle sprain and the team announced that he will be re-evaluated in six weeks.

CJ McCollum, Trey Murphy III Probable To Face Mavericks
New Orleans Pelicans guard CJ McCollum (ankle) and Trey Murphy III (knee) have both been tagged as probable to play against the Dallas Mavericks on Monday.

De'Anthony Melton Ruled Out Against Rockets
Philadelphia 76ers guard De'Anthony Melton (back) has already been ruled out for the team's game against the Houston Rockets on Monday despite playing the last two games on a minutes restriction.
