Dennis Smith Jr. Probable For Monday's Game

Brooklyn Nets guard Dennis Smith Jr. (foot) looks set to rejoin the action Monday versus Golden State. He missed Saturday's blowout win over Philadelphia with right foot soreness, but the Nets have listed him as probable for Monday. Smith Jr.'s fantasy value is relatively low, with him averaging fewer than 20 minutes a night as […]

Ben Simmons Will Be Kept Out From Monday's Action

Brooklyn Nets guard/forward Ben Simmons (back) won't play on Monday against Golden State. He has just returned from a lengthy absence, and the team is closely monitoring Simmons' workload. It's the first game of a back-to-back, and Simmons will likely return to the lineup Tuesday versus Dallas. The three-time All-Star hasn't played much since making […]

Cason Wallace Forced To Leave Early On Sunday

Oklahoma City Thunder guard Cason Wallace (shoulder) made his second consecutive start on Sunday in place of Jalen Williams (ankle) but exited the game in the third quarter due to right shoulder soreness and wasn't able to return to the game. He ended up playing 18 minutes and registering eight points, two assists, one rebound, […]

Dante Exum Won't Suit Up On Monday

Dallas Mavericks guard Dante Exum (knee) won't play on Monday against the 76ers. He's currently having arguably the best year of his career from a production standpoint, averaging 9.2 points and shooting 47.7% from deep. Regrettably, the veteran has battled various injuries throughout the 2023-24 campaign, and he's most recently missed the last four games […]

Luka Doncic Questionable For Monday

Dallas Mavericks guard Luka Doncic (ankle) is questionable for Monday's matchup with the Philadelphia 76ers. Doncic's ankle has given him trouble over the last week or more, so his presence on the injury report is something fantasy managers are used to by this point. It would be a tough break for managers if he can't […]

Kyrie Irving Likely To Return On Monday Evening

Dallas Mavericks guard Kyrie Irving (thumb) is expected to play on Monday versus the Philadelphia 76ers. The former Net is listed as probable after missing his previous six games because of a right thumb sprain. Irving continues to be a productive fantasy asset. However, Irving has missed plenty of time throughout the 2023-24 campaign, so […]

Jazz Reportedly Made An Offer For Dejounte Murray

According to Yahoo's Jake Fischer, speaking to Marc Stein on his podcast, the Jazz made an offer for Atlanta Hawks guard Dejounte Murray. The former Spur has been a topic of trade rumblings, and the rumors continue to intensify heading to the deadline. Of course, the Lakers are another team that has expressed interest in […]

Bilal Coulibaly Will Play On Sunday Afternoon

Washington Wizards guard Bilal Coulibaly (back) is cleared to play on Sunday versus Phoenix. The rookie got off to a slow start this season. However, he's found a spot in the rotation and is now averaging 8.3 points, 4.0 rebounds, and 1.8 assists. The 19-year-old is worth starting in deep fantasy formats. But with Kyle […]

Cade Cunningham Officially Active On Sunday

Detroit Pistons guard Cade Cunningham (knee) is officially active ahead of Sunday's matchup with the Orlando Magic. The 22-year-old has carried injury designations since returning from an eight-game absence caused by a knee issue. However, he's mostly been available, so fantasy managers likely weren't overly concerned. At any rate, Cunningham has logged at least 30 […]

Teams Calling On Alex Caruso

According to K.C. Johnson of NBC Sports Chicago, teams have reached out to the Bulls regarding the availability of guard Alex Caruso. The 29-year-old has played well this season, averaging a career-high 10.0 points with 3.6 boards, 2.8 assists, and 1.3 steals. He's also logged 26.7 minutes, the second-highest mark of his career. With Zach […]

Cade Cunningham Probable For Sunday Afternoon

Detroit Pistons guard Cade Cunningham (knee) is probable heading into Sunday's meeting with Orlando. Cunningham missed eight games because of a knee injury but returned for the January 27 matchup with the Washington Wizards. Since then, he's made routine appearances on the league's injury report. However, fantasy managers should count on the 22-year-old being available […]

Kentavious Caldwell-Pope Listed As Probable For Saturday

Denver Nuggets guard Kentavious Caldwell-Pope (finger) is listed as probable ahead of Saturday's game against the Portland Trail Blazers. This comes after Caldwell-Pope injured his finger during Friday's contest. Despite that, Caldwell-Pope is expected to suit up and play his normal role on Saturday. He'll likely remain in the starting five, which gives him a […]

Zach LaVine To Undergo Season-Ending Surgery

Chicago Bulls guard Zach LaVine (foot) won't suit up again this season as he's decided to undergo season-ending surgery. LaVine has missed the last six games due to a right foot issue. Earlier in the day it was announced LaVine would miss another week, but now the team has decided to shut him down for […]

Zach LaVine Out For At Least One More Week

Chicago Bulls guard/forward Zach LaVine (ankle) is expected to miss at least one more week of action. He will sit out a seventh consecutive contest on Saturday against Sacramento. Ayo Dosunmu has taken on a big workload during LaVine's absence, while Alex Caruso has also benefited from the situation. The two could even get a […]

De'Anthony Melton Hopes To Return On Monday

Philadelphia 76ers guard De'Anthony Melton (back) is targeting Monday's matchup against Dallas for his return. He's been out of the lineup since Jan. 12 and will miss an 11th consecutive game when Philadelphia faces Brooklyn on Saturday. Kelly Oubre Jr. has enjoyed a regular starter's role during Melton's absence, with Patrick Beverley also benefitting from […]

Dennis Smith Jr. Questionable For Saturday's Game

Brooklyn Nets guard Dennis Smith Jr. (foot) is questionable for Saturday's matchup against the 76ers. He's suffering from right foot soreness and could be out for the first time since Jan. 3.

Ben Simmons Considered Probable Saturday

Brooklyn Nets guard/forward Ben Simmons (knee) is on track to return to the lineup for Saturday's matchup against Philadelphia. The team has listed Simmons as probable for the clash against his former team. Simmons returned from a nearly three-month absence against Utah on Monday but hurt his left knee and was forced to sit out […]

RJ Barrett To Remain Out On Friday

Toronto Raptors guard RJ Barrett (knee) has been ruled out ahead of Friday's game against the Houston Rockets. This marks the second game in a row that Barrett has missed due to left knee swelling. His absence means that Dennis Schroder figures to once again move into the starting unit. Last game, Schroder finished with […]

Luke Kennard, Derrick Rose Expected To Play On Friday

Memphis Grizzlies guard Luke Kennard (knee) and Derrick Rose (hamstring) are expected to suit up for Friday's game against the Golden State Warriors. Kennard will make his way back to the court after a three-game absence. Rose is available for the third time since the middle of December. Both players are going to play on […]

Quentin Grimes Out On Saturday

New York Knicks guard Quentin Grimes (knee) won't play on Saturday versus the Lakers. With Immanuel Quickley now in Toronto, Grimes has received more work. He averaged 9.4 points in January, his highest-scoring output of the year. However, he has been battling a sprained knee, keeping him off the floor on Thursday versus the Indiana […]

Duncan Robinson Will Remain Sidelined On Friday

Miami Heat forward Duncan Robinson (concussion) remains in the league's concussion protocol so he will not suit up against the Washington Wizards on Friday. Robinson has only missed one other game due to the concussion, and his next chance to play will be against the Los Angeles Clippers on Sunday. While he's out, Haywood Highsmith, […]

Jamal Murray Expected To Suit Up Against Blazers

Denver Nuggets guard Jamal Murray (knee) has been listed as probable for the team's Friday night contest against the Portland Trail Blazers. He's dealing with a knee contusion that doesn't seem too serious as he hasn't missed a game since December 12. The star combo guard is tied with his career high in points per […]

Immanuel Quickley Questionable Against Rockets On Friday

Toronto Raptors guard Immanuel Quickley (quad) has been given the questionable tag on Friday as he continues to deal with a right quad contusion. The former Knick hasn't played the last three games due to the quad issue and could potentially miss a fourth consecutive contest. Quickley finally joined the starting lineup when he was […]

RJ Barrett Listed As Questionable Against Rockets

Toronto Raptors forward RJ Barrett (knee) is still dealing with some swelling in his knee and is in danger of missing a third consecutive game. He's officially listed as questionable ahead of their Friday night contest against the Houston Rockets. Barrett has experienced some renewed fantasy relevance ever since getting traded to Toronto. In his […]

Jordan Poole Still Dealing With Illness On Friday

Washington Wizards guard Jordan Poole (illness) has received a questionable tag on Friday as he continues to deal with a non-COVID illness that kept him from playing against the Los Angeles Clippers on Wednesday. Poole hasn't been able to post the type of numbers that everyone expected this season, but he remains the team's starting […]

Cade Cunningham Expected To Play On Friday

Detroit Pistons guard Cade Cunningham (knee) has been listed as probable for Friday's game against the Los Angeles Clippers. He's only listed with knee injury management, so the injury report just seems to be a housekeeping type of deal. The up-and-coming point guard was able to play a full 30 minutes in their last contest […]

Grayson Allen Returning For Friday's Game

Phoenix Suns guard Grayson Allen (ankle) has been removed from the injury report ahead of Friday's game against the Atlanta Hawks. Allen doesn't appear on the injury report after sitting out on Wednesday's contest due to a right ankle sprain. His return should mean that Eric Gordon will shift back to the bench. Gordon won't […]

Klay Thompson Will Play On Friday

Golden State Warriors guard Klay Thompson (illness) was able to participate in practice on Thursday. The veteran guard missed Tuesday's game due to an illness but appears ready to get back on the court. Thompson is expected to return after a one-game absence for Friday's game against the Memphis Grizzlies. The return of Thompson should […]

Victor Oladipo Moving On To Memphis

The Rockets traded guard Victor Oladipo (and three second-round picks) to Memphis on Thursday night. In exchange, Houston will receive center Steven Adams. The Rockets needed a veteran center to mentor Alperen Sengun, one of the league's top centers. But the Grizzlies needed to shave some cash off the books, so the move makes sense […]
