Including his time in Toronto, during the […]

Josh Green Considered Probable For Tuesday

Dallas Mavericks guard/forward Josh Green (elbow) is expected to play on Tuesday versus Cleveland, as the team has listed him as probable for the game.

Dante Exum Listed As Doubtful For Tuesday

Dallas Mavericks guard Dante Exum (knee) has been listed as doubtful for Tuesday's matchup against Cleveland. He's missed 12 straight games but has been back in practice and doesn't appear to be far away from returning. However, his return on Tuesday still looks unlikely. Exum won't have to wait long for his next chance to […]

Luka Doncic Probable For Tuesday

Dallas Mavericks guard Luka Doncic (nose) continues to carry a probable tag on the injury report ahead of Tuesday's encounter with the Cavaliers. Doncic has played in each of the last nine games, and it's safe to assume he will remain in the lineup on Tuesday. The NBA's leading scorer will enter Tuesday's battle following […]

Gary Harris Available Tuesday

Orlando Magic guard/forward Gary Harris (calf) isn't on the injury report ahead of Tuesday's contest against Brooklyn. The veteran didn't play on Sunday versus Atlanta in the second leg of a back-to-back.

John Konchar Sidelined Against Nets

Memphis Grizzlies guard/forward John Konchar (thumb) has been ruled out against the Brooklyn Nets on Monday due to a thumb sprain.

While he's […]

Terry Rozier Tagged As Questionable For Monday

Miami Heat guard Terry Rozier (knee) may return on Monday for the team's game against the Sacramento Kings.

Norman Powell Available Versus Sacramento

Los Angeles Clippers forward Norman Powell (ankle) will suit up on Sunday against the Sacramento Kings. The 30-year-old was questionable because of a sprained ankle. Fortunately, the injury only cost him a game. With Paul George (knee) out, Powell should see a bump in fantasy production on Sunday night, no matter his role.

Paul George Out On Sunday Night

Los Angeles Clippers guard Paul George (knee) won't play on Sunday against the Sacramento Kings. Paul has missed only three games this season. But as expected, the 33-year-old has played well, averaging 22.1 points, 5.3 rebounds, and 1.6 steals. It's only knee soreness, so he should be back when the Clippers meet the Lakers on […]

Donovan Mitchell Will Return Against Washington

Cleveland Cavaliers guard Donovan Mitchell (illness) will return on Sunday against the Washington Wizards. He missed the last two games because of an illness. However, the 27-year-old was trending in the right direction, so fantasy managers already planned on getting him back in the lineup. With Mitchell's return, Isaac Okoro will presumably return to the […]

CJ McCollum Out On Sunday Night

New Orleans Pelicans guard CJ McCollum (ankle) won't suit up on Sunday night versus Chicago. The former Trail Blazer injured his ankle on Friday against the Miami Heat, forcing him to exit after just 15 minutes on the floor. At this point, it's hard to gauge how long McCollum will be sidelined. But with Jose […]

Quentin Grimes Will Make Pistons Debut

Detroit Pistons guard Quentin Grimes (knee) will suit up on Saturday versus Orlando. This will be his first game as a Piston after spending the previous three years in New York. He averaged 8.6 points in 162 career games with the Knicks, although he had more than a few potent fantasy showings. With Marcus Sasser […]

Markelle Fultz Still Out Versus Detroit

Orlando Magic guard Markelle Fultz (knee) remains out for Saturday's showdown with the Detroit Pistons. The 25-year-old will now miss his second consecutive game because of his nagging left knee injury, the same one that's him kept off the floor for 35 games throughout the 2023-24 campaign. Of course, Paolo Banchero and Franz Wagner are […]

Detroit Pistons guard/forward Quentin Grimes (knee) appears ready to make his debut for his new squad, with the team listing him as probable for Saturday's matchup against Orlando.

Naji Marshall Ejected Friday

New Orleans Pelicans guard/forward Naji Marshall was ejected from Friday's clash with the Heat. With less than a minute played in the fourth quarter, tempered flared in the game after Kevin Love fouled Zion Williamson. After a scrum formed on the court, Marshall appeared to have put his hand around Jimmy Butler's neck. Marshall might […]

CJ McCollum Won't Return On Friday

New Orleans Pelicans guard CJ McCollum (ankle) was forced to exit early during Friday's game against the Miami Heat. McCollum suffered a left ankle sprain during the second quarter after he stepped on a teammate's foot.

Kentavious Caldwell-Pope Upgraded To Probable

Denver Nuggets guard Kentavious Caldwell-Pope (finger) has been upgraded to probable ahead of Friday's game against the Portland Trail Blazers. This is good news after Caldwell-Pope was considered questionable earlier in the day due to a right finger sprain. The Nuggets are shorthanded, so Caldwell-Pope could see an increased role on Friday. However, Christian Braun […]

Bradley Beal Ruled Out For Friday

Phoenix Suns guard Bradley Beal (hamstring) has been ruled out ahead of Friday's game against the Houston Rockets. The hope was that Beal would be healthy and ready to go after the All-Star break. That is not the case as the superstar guard will miss his second straight game on Friday. Both Eric Gordon and […]

Tyler Herro Available On Friday

Miami Heat guard Tyler Herro (foot) is available ahead of Friday's game against the New Orleans Pelicans. That is great news for fantasy managers after Herro was listed as questionable coming into this game. He should be asked to play a bigger role in the rotation with Terry Rozier (knee) and Josh Richardson (shoulder) both […]

De'Anthony Melton Available For Friday's Game

Philadelphia 76ers guard De'Anthony Melton (back) is available ahead of Friday's game against the Cleveland Cavaliers. Melton has been sidelined since January 12, but will make his return to the court here. The expectation is that Melton is going to be under a minutes restriction during his first game back. He won't be worth looking […]

RJ Barrett Ruled Out For Friday's Game

Toronto Raptors guard RJ Barrett (knee) has been ruled out ahead of Friday's game against the Atlanta Hawks. The Raptors have decided to take a cautious approach after Mitchell played 29 minutes during their last game. As a result, Jordan Nwora will move into the starting five for the second straight night. A move to […]

Donovan Mitchell Won't Play On Friday

Cleveland Cavaliers guard Donovan Mitchell (illness) has been ruled out ahead of Friday's game against the Philadelphia 76ers. This marks the second game in a row that Mitchell has missed due to an illness. Isaac Okoro figures to move into the starting five once again with Mitchell sidelined. He's not a great streaming option, but […]

Jamal Murray To Miss Friday's Game Against Portland

Denver Nuggets guard Jamal Murray (leg) is ruled out for Friday's game against the Portland Trail Blazers. The 27-year-old, who sustained a tibia injury, also missed the final game before the All-Star break. As a precaution, he will sit out the second night of a back-to-back.
