Quentin Grimes Has Fourth-Year Option Exercised
New York Knicks guard Quentin Grimes had his fourth-year option exercised by the organization on Monday.

So far, Grimes is […]
Kyrie Irving Won't Suit Up On Monday
Dallas Mavericks guard Kyrie Irving (foot) woke up with soreness in his left foot after their contest against Brooklyn, which is how he popped up on the injury report in the first place.

Ochai Agbaji Questionable For Monday
Utah Jazz guard/forward Ochai Agbaji (knee) is in danger of missing his first game of the season on Monday, as he is regarded as questionable for a visit to Denver. The 23-year-old is on the injury report with a right knee contusion, so he isn't dealing with a serious issue, but it's still bad enough […]
Luke Kennard Ruled Out For Third Straight Game
Memphis Grizzlies guard/forward Luke Kennard (concussion) will remain out on Monday against the Mavericks. The NBA's most efficient three-point shooter from last season has had a very unfortunate start to the new campaign, as he was hit in the face in the team's season opener against New Orleans and landed in the concussion protocol because […]
Landry Shamet To Miss One More Game On Monday
Washington Wizards guard Landry Shamet (toe) won't be available to make his season debut Monday against Boston. The 26-year-old sharpshooter is recovering from a fractured toe and has been back practicing but will have to stay patient as he waits for a chance to hit the court.

OG Anunoby Tagged As Questionable Against Trail Blazers
Toronto Raptors forward OG Anunoby (leg) has received the questionable tag for Monday's contest against the Portland Trail Blazers due to leg cramps that have already forced him to miss one game.

Zach LaVine Likely To Play Against Indiana
Chicago Bulls guard Zach LaVine (back) is probable for Monday's meeting with the Pacers. The 28-year-old is battling back spasms and appeared on the injury report ahead of Saturday's loss to the Detroit Pistons. However, he scored 51 points in that one, so the issue didn't impact him too much. Assuming LaVine plays, he's a […]
James Harden Remains Out On Sunday Night
Philadelphia 76ers guard James Harden won't play on Sunday against Portland, as expected. Philly has the veteran listed as out due to conditioning reasons. However, there's a real chance he's already played his final game with the 76ers. That said, De'Anthony Melton should remain in the starting lineup. But Tyrese Maxey has benefitted greatly without […]
Stephen Curry Now Probable For Sunday Night
Golden State Warriors guard Stephen Curry (foot) is probable for Sunday's matchup with the Houston Rockets. The sharpshooter was questionable on Saturday, and there appeared to be a real shot he wouldn't be available. But he should be good to go, barring a setback. Curry is averaging 34.0 points and shooting 45.8% from deep this […]

Los Angeles Clippers guard Brandon Boston Jr. (quad) has been ruled out for Sunday's game against the San Antonio Spurs. The young guard continues to miss time due to a quad injury. The organization has not given a clear timetable on his return, so fantasy managers shouldn't consider him close to playing. Boston is unlikely […]
Josh Richardson Out Again On Saturday
Miami Heat guard Josh Richardson (heel) remains out for Saturday's game against Minnesota. The veteran has battled a heel injury since the preseason, so fantasy managers must wait a bit longer for his debut. In the meantime, Jimmy Butler (rest), Kevin Love (shoulder), and Caleb Martin (knee) are also out versus the Timberwolves, so Duncan […]
Donovan Mitchell May Not Play Against Indiana
Cleveland Cavaliers guard Donovan Mitchell (hamstring) may miss Saturday's meeting with the Pacers. Mitchell scored 43 points in Friday's loss to the Oklahoma City Thunder but is now questionable because of hamstring soreness. With Darius Garland (hamstring) and Jarrett Allen (ankle) out, Caris LeVert and Evan Mobley could emerge as must-start options for DFS managers […]
Devin Booker To Miss Another Game
Phoenix Suns guard Devin Booker (ankle) remains out ahead of Saturday's meeting with Utah. This will mark the sharpshooter's second consecutive absence, meaning his next chance to suit up will occur on Halloween versus the Spurs.

Klay Thompson Not Shying Away From Back-To-Backs
Golden State guard/forward Klay Thompson plans to play "as many games as he can" during the 2023-24 NBA season.

Luke Kennard To Remain Out On Saturday
Memphis Grizzlies guard Luke Kennard (concussion) will miss a second consecutive game Saturday against Washington. He's going through the concussion protocol and was also sidelined for Friday's matchup against the Nuggets.

LaVine committed three turnovers in 38 minutes and […]
Devin Booker Unlikely To Play Against Utah
Phoenix Suns guard Devin Booker (foot) isn't expected to play on Saturday night against Utah.
