New Orleans Pelicans guard CJ McCollum (ankle) was forced to exit early during Friday's game against the Miami Heat.

Before that, McCollum was having a rough night from the floor with only two points and two rebounds in […]

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 […]

LeBron James Expected To Suit Up

Los Angeles Lakers forward LeBron James (ankle) is most likely going to suit up for Friday's game against the San Antonio Spurs, according to head coach Darvin Ham. The superstar forward is probable for this game, but will go through his pregame warmups with the intention of suiting up. If he's cleared to play, Taurean […]

Davis Bertans Downgraded To Out

Charlotte Hornets forward Davis Bertans (knee) has been downgraded to out ahead of Friday's game against the Golden State Warriors. Bertans was only able to play in six minutes of Thursday's game due to his knee injury. The absence of Bertans won't have a huge impact on the rotation. Grant Williams will likely see a […]

Jabari Walker Available On Friday

Portland Trail Blazers forward Jabari Walker (ankle) is available ahead of Friday's game against the Denver Nuggets. Walker was uncertain coming into this game, but will officially suit up. However, Walker will come off the bench with Toumani Camara, and Deandre Ayton starting on Friday. Fantasy managers who already have Walker rostered should hold him […]

Chicago Bulls forward Patrick Williams (foot) will see his 2023-2024 campaign come to an abrupt end. Williams is reportedly expected to undergo season-ending foot surgery. He hasn't played since January 25, and Williams wasn't making strong progress in his recovery process. He played in all 82 games last season but will see his 2023 campaign […]

Brandon Ingram Won't Play On Friday

New Orleans Pelicans forward Brandon Ingram (illness) has been ruled out ahead of Friday's game against the Miami Heat.

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 […]

Deni Avdija Ruled Out On Friday

Washington Wizards forward Deni Avdija (heel) has been ruled out ahead of Friday's game against the Oklahoma City Thunder. This is a bit surprising given that Avdija wasn't included on the most recent injury report. Bilal Coulibaly would normally be the favorite to start, but he's already in the starting five with Jordan Poole being […]

Zion Williamson To Play On Friday

New Orleans Pelicans forward Zion Williamson (foot) is available ahead of Friday's game against the Miami Heat. Williamson is surprisingly available after playing 35 minutes during Thursday's game. The Pelicans are without Brandon Ingram (illness) so possibly they didn't want to be without both players. Williamson will have an increased scoring responsibility with Ingram sitting […]

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 […]

Jaren Jackson Jr. Available On Friday

Memphis Grizzlies forward Jaren Jackson Jr. (quad) is available ahead of Friday's game against the Los Angeles Clippers. Jackson is back in action after sitting out the final game before the All-Star break. His return will shift Trey Jemison back to the bench on Friday.

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.

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 […]

Scoot Henderson Ruled Out For Friday

Portland Trail Blazers guard Scoot Henderson (groin) has been ruled out ahead of Friday's game against the Denver Nuggets.

Marcus Smart To Be Evaluated In Three Weeks

Memphis Grizzlies guard Marcus Smart (finger) is set to be re-evaluated in three weeks. It sounds like the veteran guard is making solid progress in his recovery from his injured ring finger. However, Smart will need to keep a splint on his finger for the next three weeks before being re-evaluated. Fantasy managers might want […]

Desmond Bane Could Return In A Month

Memphis Grizzlies guard Desmond Bane (ankle) continues to work his way back to the court. Recently, Bane was given a 3-5 week timetable to get back on the floor. That timetable would put Bane back in action around the middle of March. That isn't great news for fantasy managers as it would likely already be […]

Max Christie Will Play On Thursday

Los Angeles Lakers guard Max Christie (ankle) is available ahead of Thursday's game against the Golden State Warriors. Christie returns to the floor after missing each of the last two games before the All-Star break. The absences of Cam Reddish (ankle) and LeBron James (ankle) should mean an increased role for Christie. He's worth a […]

Domantas Sabonis Available On Thursday

Sacramento Kings forward Domantas Sabonis (illness) has been upgraded to available ahead of Thursday's game against the San Antonio Spurs. The star forward is ready to go after being listed as questionable heading into this game. Sabonis has been red-hot with five triple-doubles in his last seven games. Fantasy managers better make sure Sabonis isn't […]

Anthony Davis Cleared For Thursday's Game

Los Angeles Lakers center Anthony Davis (Achilles) has been cleared to play ahead of Thursday's game against the Golden State Warriors. The superstar big man will suit up for this game after being listed as probable earlier in the day. Davis will be asked to carry a heavier workload on offense with LeBron James (ankle) […]

Pete Nance Signs Deal With Cavaliers

The Cleveland Cavaliers have signed forward Pete Nance to a two-way deal on Monday. The 24-year-old has only played two minutes on an NBA court this season.

Ryan Rollins Signs With Bucks

The Milwaukee Bucks have signed guard Ryan Rollins to a two-way deal on Monday. The 21-year-old was drafted by the Golden State Warriors in 2022.

Mike Conley Gets Two-Year Extension

Minnesota Timberwolves guard Mike Conley will stick around with the team for at least two more seasons. The veteran guard signed a two-year, $21 million extension with the organization on Monday.

Kevin Ginkel Throws On Sunday

Arizona Diamondbacks relief pitcher Kevin Ginkel (elbow) was able to play catch on Sunday without any issues. The right-hander began experiencing elbow soreness towards the beginning of February. The D-Backs might play it safe for a little bit, but Ginkel should be fine going forward. Last season, Ginkel posted a 2.48 ERA, 0.98 WHIP, and […]

Randal Grichuk Hopeful To Be Ready For Opening Day

Arizona Diamondbacks outfielder Randal Grichuk (ankle) is hopeful to be ready by Opening Day. The veteran outfielder had bone chips removed from his ankle in January. He recently signed a one-year deal with the D-Backs. It sounds like the 32-year-old is going to need a couple of weeks before he's ready to play again. Last […]

Chris Jones Carries Hefty Franchise Tag

Kansas City Chiefs defensive tackle Chris Jones is set to be back with the organization next season. The All-Pro tackle was a big reason why the Chiefs were able to win back-to-back championships. The expectation is that the two sides will come to terms on a long-term deal. If they don't, then it could be […]

Tank Dell Should Be Ready For OTAs

Houston Texans wide receiver Tank Dell (ankle) saw his incredible rookie campaign come to a screeching halt due to injury.

Nelson Agholor Gets One-Year Extension

Baltimore Ravens wide receiver Nelson Agholor is set to run it back with the organization next season. The veteran wideout agreed on a one-year extension with the Ravens on Sunday. If not re-signed by Monday, Agholor was set to become a free agent this offseason. However, the Ravens have decided to bring back Agholor after […]

Minnesota Vikings quarterback Kirk Cousins cannot be franchise-tagged by the organization. That said, Cousins is set to become an unrestricted free agent this offseason.
