Lonzo Ball Listed As Probable Monday Versus Raptors

Chicago Bulls guard Lonzo Ball (knee) is expected to play on Monday after being listed as probable for the injury report against the Toronto Raptors. His minutes are still on a bit of a restriction, but Ball has received close to 20 minutes in each of the last two games. In nine appearances this year, […]

Kevin Huerter Out Monday

Sacramento Kings guard Kevin Huerter (shoulder) will not play against the Denver Nuggets on Monday due to an AC joint sprain in his left shoulder. The 26-year-old missed the King's morning shootaround and is considered day-to-day moving forward. Huerter's next chance to play is on Thursday versus the Lakers. In the meantime, players like Colby Jones and […]

Fantasy Basketball Waiver Wire Pickups for Week 8 (2024-2025): December 16 - December 22

We took last week off as the in-season tournament has broken up the schedule in a big way. Most leagues extended Week 7 through last week and are starting Week 8 today. We have another break in the schedule on Tuesday as the championship is being played. However, that game's statistics will not count for […]

Jared McCain Out Indefinitely

According to ESPN's Shams Charania, Philadelphia 76ers guard Jared McCain (knee) will undergo surgery to repair a torn meniscus in his left knee. He is out indefinitely. The rookie was having an awesome year, averaging 15.3 points and shooting 38.3% from behind the arc. But he'll now join a lengthy list of 76ers who have […]

De'Anthony Melton On The Move To Brooklyn

According to ESPN's Shams Charania, the Nets have acquired guard De'Anthony Melton (knee) from the Warriors in exchange for guard Dennis Schroder. Brooklyn will also receive three second-round draft picks. Melton signed with Golden State during the offseason. He played well, averaging 10.3 points and 1.2 steals. Unfortunately, the 26-year-old sustained a torn ACL and […]

Bogdan Bogdanovic Playing Against Milwaukee

Atlanta Hawks guard Bogdan Bogdanovic (quadriceps) is good to go heading into Saturday's game against the Bucks. Fantasy managers are never surprised to see the veteran show up on the injury report, so his probable tag because of a quad contusion wasn't alarming. While there's a good chance Bogdanovic will miss more time at some […]

Khris Middleton Active Versus Atlanta

Milwaukee Bucks forward Khris Middleton (ankles) will play in Saturday's NBA Cup clash with the Hawks. The 2012 No. 39 overall pick made his 2024-25 debut in the December 6 meeting with the Boston Celtics after working his way back from bilateral ankle surgery. So far, he hasn't been productive, averaging only 7.3 points in […]

Kevin Huerter Suffers Another Shoulder Injury

Sacramento Kings guard Kevin Huerter (shoulder) will miss time. The 26-year-old suffered an AC joint sprain in his left shoulder during Thursday's game versus the New Orleans Pelicans. For now, the team considers him "day to day." However, since Huerter is coming off surgery on the same shoulder, the Kings will certainly take the cautious […]

Bradley Beal Downgraded To Out

Phoenix Suns guard Bradley Beal (knee) has been downgraded to out ahead of Friday's game against the Utah Jazz. Beal is dealing with swelling in his right knee and as a result the team will have him sit out at least Friday's game. His next chance to play will be on Sunday against the Portland […]

Christian Braun To Play On Friday

Denver Nuggets guard Christian Braun (quad) is available ahead of Friday's game against the Los Angeles Clippers. Braun hasn't missed a game this season and that streak will continue to live on. He has been playing big minutes for the Nuggets this season as he's averaging over 35 minutes per game. He's not an elite […]

Bradley Beal Now Questionable Versus Utah

Phoenix Suns guard/forward Bradley Beal (knee) is now questionable heading into Friday's meeting with the Jazz. The veteran wasn't listed on the injury report throughout the day. However, he began experiencing right knee swelling, so there's a chance he won't be out there. Beal has already missed eight games this season, although fantasy managers are […]

Austin Reaves Upgraded To Available On Friday

Los Angeles Lakers guard/forward Austin Reaves (pelvis) has been upgraded and will play in Friday's game versus the Minnesota Timberwolves. Reaves has missed the last five games because of a pelvic contusion. But after going from questionable to probable, he'll be back on the floor for this one. With LeBron James (foot) out indefinitely, Reaves […]

Josh Giddey Will Play On Friday Evening

Chicago Bulls guard Josh Giddey (back) is cleared to suit up in Friday's matchup versus the Charlotte Hornets. Like his teammate, Zach LaVine (back), he was battling back spasms. However, it won't cost Giddey his first game of the 2024-25 campaign. The 22-year-old has played well in his first season in Chicago, averaging 11.7 points, […]

Austin Reaves Now Probable For Friday Night

Los Angeles Lakers guard Austin Reaves (pelvis) is probable for Friday's game against the Minnesota Timberwolves. He has missed the Lakers' previous five contests because of a pelvic contusion and was initially labeled as questionable heading into this one. Luckily, Los Angeles will likely have him back on the court on Friday night. It can't […]

FanDuel NBA DFS Picks for Today (Friday 12/13/24): Daily Fantasy Basketball Advice

After a very slow week in the NBA filled with small slates, we finally get a solid slate of eight games tonight as sixteen teams that didn't qualify for the in-season tournament return to action. I recommend some higher-priced players for cash games and GPPs in today's edition while highlighting some of my favorite value […]

Austin Reaves Likely Out Again On Friday

Los Angeles Lakers guard Austin Reaves (pelvis) is unlikely to play in Friday's matchup with the Timberwolves, marking his sixth-consecutive absence. LeBron James (foot) has already been ruled out due to left foot soreness, so the Lakers could be without two of their top scoring options. As a result, Anthony Davis would be in line […]

Josh Giddey Uncertain For Friday Night

Chicago Bulls guard Josh Giddey (back) is questionable for Friday's encounter with the Charlotte Hornets. The 22-year-old has played as well as expected in his first season in The Windy City, logging 11.7 points, 6.9 assists, and 6.2 rebounds per contest. He's dealing with back spasms, so there's a chance it could keep him off […]

Malcolm Brogdon Out Again On Friday Night

Washington Wizards guard Malcolm Brogdon (hamstring) won't play in Friday's game versus the Cleveland Cavaliers. Brogdon began the year on the shelf because of a thumb injury before making his 2024-25 debut against the Pistons on November 17. However, he'll now miss a third-straight game because of hamstring inflammation. The 32-year-old hasn't played the best […]

Austin Reaves Uncertain For Friday

Los Angeles Lakers guard Austin Reaves (pelvis) is listed as questionable ahead of Friday's game against the Minnesota Timberwolves. Reaves has been upgraded to questionable for this game after missing each of the last five games due to a pelvic contusion. He was a limited participant during Wednesday's practice, which is good news for the […]

Josh Richardson To Sit Out At Least One Week

Miami Heat guard Josh Richardson (heel) will be unavailable for at least one week. Per Ira Winderman of the South Florida Sun-Sentinel, Richardson has had an injection in his right heel. The 31-year-old hasn't seen the court since Nov. 18, although he has recently been in the lineup. The 2024-25 campaign could not have gone […]

FanDuel NBA DFS Picks for Today (Wednesday 12/11/24): Daily Fantasy Basketball Advice

The Knicks host the Hawks in the Eastern Conference, while the Warriors face a very good Houston team in the Western Conference.

Bogdan Bogdanovic In Danger Of Missing Another Game

Atlanta Hawks guard/forward Bogdan Bogdanovic (quadriceps) has a questionable designation on the injury report ahead of Wednesday's NBA Cup quarterfinal against the Knicks. A quadriceps contusion might keep Bogdanovic off the court for the second straight game. Garrison Mathews and Vit Krejci get extra work with Bogdanovic out, but neither was productive in Sunday's heavy […]

Josh Hart Iffy For Wednesday's Cup Game

New York Knicks guard/forward Josh Hart (ankle) is considered questionable for Wednesday's NBA Cup quarterfinal against Atlanta. He might miss his first game of the season because of an ankle sprain. New York's bench mob, featuring Miles McBride, Cameron Payne, and Precious Achiuwa, will likely be more involved in the game if Hart doesn't get […]

Jaden Hardy Misses Second Straight Game

Dallas Mavericks guard Jaden Hardy (ankle) will be out of the lineup for a second straight game on Tuesday versus Oklahoma City. The 22-year-old is nursing a right ankle sprain. Hardy hasn't played a consistent role in the Mavericks rotation, and his absence will not have a big impact on Tuesday. Spencer Dinwiddie and Quentin […]

Immanuel Quickley To Get Additional Testing

Toronto Raptors guard Immanuel Quickley (elbow) is scheduled to get more imaging done next week. It has been a month since Quickley went down with a partial torn UCL in his left elbow. The team hasn't given a timetable for his return, but there should be more information after the additional imaging is done. That […]

Gary Harris Will Remain Sidelined Tuesday

Orlando Magic guard Gary Harris (hamstring) is on his way to missing his eighth consecutive game after being ruled out for the NBA Cup quarterfinal matchup against the Milwaukee Bucks. Now that Franz Wagner (oblique) has hit the injury report along with Paolo Banchero (oblique) and Harris, Cole Anthony gets a bigger crack at the […]

Bruce Brown Remains Sidelined Against Knicks

Toronto Raptors guard/forward Bruce Brown (conditioning) has been ruled out for Monday's game against the New York Knicks, so his season debut remains on hold. The team has listed him with return to competition reconditioning, and there isn't a firm timetable for his return yet. He last played in the regular season finale last year. […]

Cameron Payne Tagged As Questionable On Monday

New York Knicks guard Cameron Payne (elbow) is listed as questionable heading into Monday night's matchup against the Toronto Raptors. He's dealing with a left elbow issue which has caused him to miss the team's last two games. Over his last 12 games, he was seeing around 18 minutes per contest while averaging 9.3 points, […]
