Cleveland Cavaliers center Jarrett Allen (illness) looks primed to return to the starting lineup on Tuesday against the Indiana Pacers. The Cavaliers' big man sat out of the Sunday night loss to the Detroit Pistons. The team has already ruled out Donovan Mitchell (rest), while forward Jaylon Tyson (illness) is questionable. Allen should slide into […]

Minnesota Timberwolves guard Anthony Edwards (foot) was a late addition to the team's injury report ahead of their Tuesday night matchup with the Miami Heat. The All-Star guard is listed with right foot injury maintenance, which is of note considering he missed three games in December with foot soreness. Bones Hyland was the biggest beneficiary […]

San Antonio Spurs center Victor Wembanyama (knee) is a game-time decision Tuesday night when his team visits the Memphis Grizzlies. The French phenom participated in shootaround Tuesday morning and said he feels good. However, the Spurs are on the front end of a back-to-back and notoriously safe with managing injuries. Should he sit, Luke Kornet […]

The Memphis Grizzlies may face the San Antonio Spurs without their starting backcourt on Tuesday night. Point guard Ja Morant (calf) is doubtful with a calf contusion, while Cedric Coward (ankle) has already been ruled out. If Morant is unable to go, it will be his second consecutive game on the sidelines. This will be […]

Below, we sort through the stats and find 10 fantasy football busts, or players who may disappoint, for Week […]

Golden State Warriors center Al Horford (toe) is back on the injury report and won't play on Monday night in Brooklyn.

Phoenix Suns forward Ryan Dunn (knee) won't be a part of the rotation Monday night when the Suns visit the Washington Wizards.

New Orleans Pelicans guard Jose Alvarado (suspension) will serve the first game of his two-game suspension on Monday against the New York Knicks.

Portland Trail Blazers forward Jerami Grant (Achilles) is slated to miss a sixth consecutive game with left Achilles tendonitis on Monday night against the Dallas Mavericks. The veteran remains without a timetable to return, putting his status for Wednesday's matchup with the Oklahoma City Thunder also in doubt. Forward Kris Murray (quad), who has started […]

Toronto Raptors center Jakob Poeltl (back) will miss his fourth-straight game with a back injury when his team hosts the Orlando Magic on Monday night. Poeltl missed two games earlier this month and aggravated the injury after about seven minutes of playing time on December 21st. He's expected to be out at least another week. […]

Toronto Raptors forward RJ Barrett (knee) won't play in the second night of a back-to-back on Monday, following an extended absence with a knee sprain. The 25-year-old played just under 24 minutes on Sunday after missing the previous 15 games, scoring 12 points and grabbing seven rebounds. With fellow starter Jakob Poeltl (back) also sidelined, […]

Oklahoma City Thunder center Isaiah Hartenstein (calf) won't play on Monday night when his team hosts the Atlanta Hawks due to a left soleus strain.

Houston Rockets center Alperen Sengun (calf) will miss his second consecutive game on Monday with a left calf injury. Sengun also sat out Houston's win over the Cleveland Cavaliers on Saturday. His minutes will be divided among Steven Adams and Clint Capela. Neither center is expected to contribute much on offense, although Adams should be […]

Atlanta Hawks guard Trae Young (quad) won't play Monday when his team visits the Oklahoma City Thunder due to a right quad contusion. The Hawks will be thin on playmakers, with Jalen Johnson (illness) also ruled out. Forward/center Kristaps Porzingis (illness) will also be inactive. Guards Dyson Daniels and Nickeil Alexander-Walker will be given more […]

Dallas Mavericks forward/center Anthony Davis (groin) is expected to miss a few games with a groin strain, according to ESPN's Shams Charania. Davis hurt himself in the first half of the Christmas Day loss to the Golden State Warriors and did not return. Davis has played in just 16 games so far this year and […]

New Orleans Pelicans guard Jordan Poole (ankle) could miss another game Friday night when his team hosts the Phoenix Suns.

Following an extended absence in November and early December, Poole is now a bench player in the Pelicans' rotation. He's still […]

Memphis Grizzlies guard Vince Williams Jr. (knee) will miss his fourth consecutive game when his team hosts the Milwaukee Bucks on Friday. The 25-year-old is dealing with left patellar tendinitis, and a timeline for his return remains unclear. Williams recently moved back to a bench role before his injury. He'll have plenty of company on […]

Milwaukee Bucks guard Gary Trent Jr. (calf) is questionable to play Friday night against the Memphis Grizzlies, according to the team's official injury report. The 26-year-old quickly left Tuesday's win over the Indiana Pacers with a left calf contusion. Trent has fallen out of Milwaukee's starting lineup recently, with Kevin Porter Jr., AJ Green, and […]

Philadelphia 76ers guard Quentin Grimes (illness) is questionable for Friday night's matchup with the Chicago Bulls. Grimes, alongside Dominick Barlow and VJ Edgecombe, were all sick and missed Tuesday's loss to the Brooklyn Nets. Grimes could return soon, though, as he was present for the team's shootaround Friday morning. Grimes has shifted in and out […]

Philadelphia 76ers forward Dominick Barlow (illness) is questionable for Friday's game against the Bulls. The 76ers have a bug circulating the locker room. Barlow, VJ Edgecombe, and Quentin Grimes are all questionable with illnesses after missing Tuesday's loss to the Brooklyn Nets. However, the trio was present at Friday's shootaround, indicating that their returns could […]

The hard part is over. Now, it's up to the fantasy football gods. The grind you underwent to clinch a spot in the fantasy championship proved to be well worth the time. One more week of managerial decisions could lead to a trophy, but a bit of bad luck could make it all for naught. […]

Did we witness Taysom Hill's 'Last Dance' moment in Week 16? New Orleans' do-it-all athlete rewrote the history books on Sunday. He's now the only player in the Super Bowl era with more than 1,000 passing, rushing, and receiving yards. And he did so, in what could be his final game in the Caesars Superdome. […]

New York Knicks forwards Karl-Anthony Towns (knee) and Josh Hart (abdomen) will play Friday night when the team hosts the Philadelphia 76ers.

Expect the Knicks to return to the five-man starting lineup of Jalen Brunson, OG Anunoby, […]

Oklahoma City forward Jaylin Williams (heel) won't suit up Friday night when his team visits the Minnesota Timberwolves. This will be the second game in a row that the 23-year-old has missed with right heel bursitis. Williams' absence doesn't significantly alter Oklahoma City's rotation, especially with center Isaiah Hartenstein returning to the lineup. Williams sees […]

Orlando Magic guard Jalen Suggs (hip) is doubtful for Saturday's matchup with the Utah Jazz, according to the team's official injury report. Orlando's starting point guard suffered a hip contusion in the NBA Cup semifinal loss to the New York Knicks. This will be Suggs' second straight game on the sidelines. Tyus Jones started in […]

Minnesota Timberwolves guard Mike Conley (Achilles) will miss his fourth consecutive game when his team hosts the Oklahoma City Thunder on Friday. The 38-year-old is managing right Achilles tendiopathy. Minnesota's backcourt minutes are in flux right now. Bones Hyland has picked up starts for Anthony Edwards (questionable, foot) in recent games. He'll likely do so […]

Atlanta Hawks guard Trae Young (right knee injury management) will not play Friday night against the San Antonio Spurs. The All-Star guard returned from a 22-game absence, caused by an MCL sprain, Thursday night in the loss to Charlotte. Young was on a minutes restriction in his first game back, so it's not a surprise […]

Miami Heat guard Tyler Herro (toe) won't suit up when his team visits the Boston Celtics on Friday night. This will be Herro's third-straight game on the sidelines and fifth in the last six contests. Herro recently told reporters that his toe wasn't getting better, and he had undergone a second MRI to try to […]
