Bruce Brown Likely Out Again On Monday
Indiana Pacers guard/forward Bruce Brown (knee) will likely miss a fifth consecutive game on Monday against Milwaukee. He's officially regarded as doubtful for the contest. Brown's absence has given Andrew Nembhard a chance to join the starting five, and he should continue to benefit on Monday. The 23-year-old is averaging 11.3 points, 2.3 rebounds, and […]
Jrue Holiday Questionable Versus The Spurs
Boston Celtics guard Jrue Holiday (elbow) is questionable for Sunday's meeting with the Spurs. The 33-year-old has regressed in his first season with the Celtics, averaging 13.1 points, more than six points fewer than he had during the 2022-23 campaign while still a member of the Bucks. However, he remains a valuable fantasy commodity, so […]
Kevin Huerter Questionable For Sunday's Game
Sacramento Kings guard Kevin Huerter (hand) is listed as questionable for Sunday's game against the Memphis Grizzlies. This comes after Huerter was forced to exit early during Friday's contest due to a left hand strain. If he sits out, Chris Duarte would likely move into the starting five for this game. Duarte has been inconsistent […]
Immanuel Quickley On The Move To Toronto
The Raptors acquired guard Immanuel Quickley (along with RJ Barrett) from the Knicks in exchange for OG Anunoby, Malachi Flynn, and Precious Achiuwa. Quickley, the No. 25 overall pick in the 2020 NBA Draft, is averaging a career-high 15.0 points this season. Unfortunately, he had issues remaining a consistent focal point on the offensive end […]
RJ Barrett Traded To Toronto
The Knicks traded guard RJ Barrett (and Immanuel Quickley) to the Raptors on Saturday in exchange for forward OG Anunoby, Malachi Flynn, and Precious Achiuwa. Barrett has averaged 18.1 points, 4.3 rebounds, and 2.4 assists since being selected No. 3 overall in the 2019 NBA Draft. He's also been one of the most durable players […]
Kyrie Irving Tagged As Doubtful Saturday
Dallas Mavericks guard Kyrie Irving (heel) has been listed as doubtful for Saturday's game against the Warriors. Thursday's 118-110 loss to Minnesota marked the 11th consecutive game Irving has missed, and his return on Saturday appears unlikely, but the fact that Irving is now carrying a doubtful tag is a sign that he could be […]
Josh Richardson Could Be Out For A Third Consecutive Game
Miami Heat shooting guard Josh Richardson (back) is questionable to face the Utah Jazz on Saturday. He's in danger of missing a third consecutive game as Richardson battles a lower back issue. Miami could really use his versatility in Saturday's matchup, as Richardson is one of five big rotational pieces dealing with health problems ahead […]
Caleb Martin Doubtful For Saturday's Action
Miami Heat guard/forward Caleb Martin (ankle) looks set to miss a second consecutive game, with the team listing him as doubtful for a clash with the Jazz on Saturday. Martin sprained his right ankle in Monday's Christmas battle with Philadelphia and was unavailable when the Heat faced Golden State on Thursday. Haywood Highsmith stepped into […]
Shaedon Sharpe Won't Suit Up On Friday
Portland Trail Blazers guard Shaedon Sharpe (groin) won't play in Friday's game versus San Antonio. The 20-year-old has averaged 16.8 points, 5.3 rebounds, and 3.3 assists this season. Unfortunately, he's missed the last four games because of a right-groin strain. The Blazers also won't have Anfernee Simons (illness), meaning Malcolm Brogdon and Scoot Henderson should […]
Bradley Beal Set To Return On Friday Against Hornets
Phoenix Suns guard Bradley Beal (ankle) is reportedly being upgraded to active on Friday night, according to Adrian Wojnarowski. After returning from a battle with back spasms, Beal sprained his ankle against the New York Knicks on Dec. 15. He's missed five games since then, but it seems like his ankle is feeling good enough […]
Jaylen Brown, Jrue Holiday Both Questionable On Friday
Boston Celtics guards Jaylen Brown (back) and Jrue Holiday (elbow) have both been listed as questionable for their Friday night game against the Toronto Raptors. The starting backcourt along with Jayson Tatum (ankle) and Kristaps Porzingis (calf) have all been listed as questionable or doubtful. After making sure they weren't the team to end the […]
Bradley Beal Picks Up Questionable Status On Friday
Phoenix Suns guard Bradley Beal (ankle) has missed the last five consecutive games since spraining his ankle against the New York Knicks on December 15. In the last report, Shams Charania said that he was progressing ahead of schedule and has a chance to return this weekend, so the questionable status lines up with the […]
Donovan Mitchell Remains Questionable With Illness
Cleveland Cavaliers guard Donovan Mitchell (illness) hasn't played since December 18 due to a non-COVID illness and he's officially listed as questionable for their game on Friday. The star guard has now seen two small stretches of missed games due to either injury or illness, but luckily the team has gone 3-1 with him out. […]
Gary Harris Tagged As Questionable On Friday
Orlando Magic guard Gary Harris (calf) has received a questionable tag ahead of their Friday night matchup against the New York Knicks. The 29-year-old was forced to sit out on Wednesday against the Philadelphia 76ers with the same calf strain, so his status will be something to monitor as the team goes through shootaround. His […]
Josh Richardson Officially Out On Thursday
Miami Heat forward Josh Richardson (back) has been downgraded to out ahead of Thursday's game against the Golden State Warriors. This was expected as Richardson was considered doubtful for this game due to lower back discomfort. The Heat are likely to use a committee approach to fill the void left by Richardson. That means, Jaime […]
Bruce Brown Misses Third Consecutive Game
Indiana Pacers guard/forward Bruce Brown (knee) will be sidelined for a third consecutive game Thursday versus Chicago. He has a bone bruise on his right knee and will get his next chance to return on Saturday against the Knicks. Andrew Nembhard has hopped into the starting unit as Brown's replacement, becoming a viable fantasy option. […]
Jaylen Brown Questionable For Thursday
Boston Celtics guard/forward Jaylen Brown (back) is considered questionable for Thursday's encounter with the Pistons. He suffered a lower back contusion in a collision with LeBron James on Monday. Brown had no trouble finishing the game against the Lakers, but he is in danger of missing his second contest of the season. Sam Hauser is […]
Ausar Thompson Listed As Probable Thursday
Detroit Pistons guard/forward Ausar Thompson (illness)is listed as probable ahead of Thursday's meeting with the Celtics. The 20-year-old is battling an illness, which limited him to just nine minutes last time out against Brooklyn. Thompson started his rookie campaign with a bang, but he's had a couple of difficult weeks, and it's definitely not easy […]
Killian Hayes Probable Thursday
Detroit Pistons guard Killian Hayes (illness) is regarded as probable for Thursday's matchup against Boston. Hayes has been sidelined for four games, and he's actually had the probable tag a couple of times during his absence, so it might not mean he's on track to return. Jaden Ivey has made four consecutive starts with Hayes […]

Caris LeVert Cleared For Wednesday
Cleveland Cavaliers guard Caris LeVert (knee) is available for Wednesday's game against the Dallas Mavericks. LeVert is back in the rotation after missing Saturday's game due to a knee issue. He should be asked to take on a bigger role with Donovan Mitchell (illness) still on the sideline. LeVert will resume his normal role as […]
Donovan Mitchell Remains Out On Wednesday
Cleveland Cavaliers guard Donovan Mitchell (illness) has been ruled out for Wednesday's game against the Dallas Mavericks. The superstar guard continues to miss time due to a lingering illness.

The 22-year-old is nursing a left wrist sprain. Suggs has had a good campaign with 12.4 points, 3.5 rebounds, 2.5 assists, and 1.6 steals. Only four players in the […]
Killian Hayes Probable For Tuesday
Detroit Pistons guard Killian Hayes (illness) is probable for Tuesday's matchup against the Nets. The young Frenchman has missed three games with an illness. Hayes was set to return to the lineup on Saturday versus Brooklyn, but he was a late scratch. As a backcourt starter alongside Cade Cunningham, Hayes has averaged 9.1 points, 3.1 […]
Kentavious Caldwell-Pope Likely To Play On Monday
Denver Nuggets guard/forward Kentavious Caldwell-Pope (back) is considered probable for Monday's Christmas outing against the Warriors. The two-time NBA champion was recently kept out of action for a couple of games by a concussion, and he's now dealing with a cervicothoracic strain. However, it looks likely that Caldwell-Pope will remain in the lineup for a […]
