Trae Young Still Sidelined Saturday

Washington Wizards guard Trae Young (quadriceps) will miss Saturday's game against the Thunder, marking his third straight absence after suffering a quad contusion earlier this week. Bub Carrington should continue starting at point guard and remains a short-term fantasy add after posting 10 points, one three-pointer, six rebounds, and four assists in 35 minutes last […]

Andrew Wiggins Remains Out Saturday

Miami Heat guard/forward Andrew Wiggins (toe) will miss Saturday's game against the Rockets, extending his absence to eight straight contests as he remains without a clear return timeline. His continued absence should keep Pelle Larsson in the starting group after he logged 33 minutes with 11 points, two rebounds, and five assists in his last […]

Cedric Coward a Late Scratch Friday

Memphis Grizzlies guard/forward Cedric Coward (personal) is out Friday against the Celtics after being added late to the injury report. The rookie has been logging steady minutes in a starting role, so his absence opens up wing opportunities. Walter Clayton Jr. could see added run after posting four points, two rebounds, and four assists in […]

Karl-Anthony Towns Set to Suit Up Against Brooklyn

New York Knicks forward/center Karl-Anthony Towns (personal) will play Friday against the Nets after briefly carrying a questionable tag. Towns continues to play at a high level, averaging 24.0 points, 11.6 rebounds, 4.0 assists, and 1.8 three-pointers across his last five games in 32.4 minutes. He remains a strong source of scoring and rebounding while […]

Collin Murray-Boyles Unlikely to Play Friday

Toronto Raptors forward/center Collin Murray-Boyles (thumb) is listed as doubtful for Friday's game against the Nuggets and appears likely to miss another contest due to his lingering sprain. His continued absence should keep Jakob Poeltl locked into steady frontcourt minutes after he produced 17 points, eight rebounds, two assists, one steal, and one block in […]

Jonathan Kuminga Ruled Out Friday Against Rockets

Atlanta Hawks forward Jonathan Kuminga (knee) will sit out Friday's game against Houston for injury management on the first night of a back-to-back, though he could return Saturday against Golden State. His absence could mean a few extra minutes for Zaccharie Risacher and Corey Kispert, but neither is a trustworthy fantasy option during the playoffs. […]

Aaron Gordon Off Injury Report Against Toronto

Denver Nuggets forward/center Aaron Gordon (hamstring) is off the injury report and expected to return Friday against the Raptors after sitting out Wednesday for injury management on the second night of a back-to-back. He should slide right back into his usual frontcourt role, especially with Peyton Watson (hamstring) still out. Spencer Jones will likely move […]

Peyton Watson Not Yet Ready to Return Friday

Denver Nuggets forward Peyton Watson (hamstring) will remain out Friday against Toronto as he continues recovering from a strain that has kept him sidelined since early February. His absence should continue to push Aaron Gordon into a larger frontcourt role. Spencer Jones and Julian Strawther may also pick up extra minutes off the bench, though […]

Gary Trent Jr. Exits Thursday with Adductor Issue

Milwaukee Bucks guard/forward Gary Trent Jr. (adductor) will not return to Thursday's game against the Jazz after finishing with four points, one rebound, and one assist in 17 minutes. Trent had just returned from two straight DNP-CDs and remains outside the fantasy radar with Milwaukee tightening its rotation. Ryan Rollins and AJ Green continue to […]

Malik Monk Leaves Early Thursday With Shoulder Injury

Sacramento Kings guard Malik Monk (shoulder) will not return to Thursday's game against the 76ers after suffering a shoulder injury in the first half, adding to Sacramento's growing list of absences during the fantasy playoffs. Monk finished with four points, five assists, and one rebound in 16 minutes after recently returning from a four-game ankle […]

Lauri Markkanen Out at Least Two More Weeks

Utah Jazz forward Lauri Markkanen (hip) will be re-evaluated in two weeks and remains a strong shutdown candidate with the team prioritizing development down the stretch. His absence opens up minutes, but Utah's rotation has been unpredictable, making it tough to trust anyone outside deeper leagues. Andersson Garcia finished with seven points, 11 rebounds, five […]

Amir Coffey Exits Early with Ankle Sprain

Phoenix Suns forward Amir Coffey (ankle) will not return to Thursday's game against the Spurs after suffering a left ankle sprain, finishing with two assists and one rebound in six minutes. Coffey had just reentered the rotation due to multiple injuries but was unable to capitalize on the opportunity and does not carry fantasy value […]

Daeqwon Plowden Moves Into Starting Lineup Thursday

Sacramento Kings forward Daeqwon Plowden will start Thursday against the 76ers with Nique Clifford (hamstring) sidelined, marking just his third start of the season. Plowden logged 14 points, three three-pointers, and two steals in 28 minutes off the bench in his last outing and could see a similar run again, putting him on the radar […]

Noah Clowney Won't Play Friday Vs. New York

Brooklyn Nets forward/center Noah Clowney (wrist) will miss Friday's game against the Knicks after injuring his wrist in Wednesday's loss to the Thunder. His absence should open extra frontcourt minutes, with Danny Wolf likely to remain in the starting lineup despite limited recent fantasy production. Josh Minott could also see a larger role after finishing […]

GG Jackson II Unlikely to Play Against Boston

Memphis Grizzlies forward/center GG Jackson II (knee) is doubtful for Friday's game against the Celtics due to left knee soreness and could be held out with the second leg of a back-to-back looming Saturday. His expected absence should open extra minutes for Taylor Hendricks, who finished with 13 points, six steals, and three blocks in […]

Naz Reid Could Sit Again Friday

Minnesota Timberwolves forward/center Naz Reid (ankle) is questionable for Friday's game against the Trail Blazers and could miss a second straight contest. If he sits, Kyle Anderson could see added playmaking opportunities after posting eight points, six assists, and one steal in 22 minutes last game. Terrence Shannon Jr. may also pick up extra wing […]

Josh Hart Ruled Out Friday Against Brooklyn

New York Knicks guard/forward Josh Hart (knee) will not play Friday against the Nets due to a right knee issue, opening a spot in the starting lineup. Landry Shamet is expected to step in after posting nine points with two three-pointers and five rebounds in 37 minutes during his last start, though he remains a […]

Jalen Brunson Set to Play Against Brooklyn

New York Knicks guard Jalen Brunson (ankle/neck) is off the injury report and expected to play Friday against the Nets after missing one game due to ankle injury management and a cervical strain. The All-Star has been a strong fantasy anchor when active, averaging 27.8 points, 8.2 assists, 4.0 rebounds, 2.2 three-pointers, and 1.4 steals […]

Brice Sensabaugh Out Against Milwaukee

Utah Jazz guard/forward Brice Sensabaugh (illness) is out for Thursday's game against the Bucks after erupting for 41 points Wednesday in a loss to Minnesota. His absence should open more scoring chances for rookie forward Ace Bailey, who posted 17 points with five three-pointers in 25 minutes, making him a strong points and threes streamer […]

John Konchar Out Thursday Against Bucks

Utah Jazz forward John Konchar (quadriceps) will miss Thursday's game against the Bucks after returning from a three-game calf injury absence Wednesday and picking up a right quad contusion in his first game back. His absence should open a few extra rotation minutes, with rookie forward Ace Bailey positioned to benefit after posting 17 points […]

Kyle Kuzma Ready to Play Thursday Vs. Utah

Milwaukee Bucks forward Kyle Kuzma (elbow) is available for Thursday's game against the Jazz after being listed as probable due to a right elbow contusion. Kuzma should continue to see plenty of opportunity with Giannis Antetokounmpo (knee) sidelined, which keeps him on the radar as a points and rebounds streamer despite his inconsistency. He is […]

Myles Turner Set to Return Versus Jazz

Milwaukee Bucks center Myles Turner (calf) will play Thursday against the Jazz after missing one game, likely sending Jericho Sims back to a reserve role. Turner has been somewhat inconsistent this season but remains a usable fantasy option when active, especially for managers needing three-pointers from the center spot. He has averaged 10.6 points, 2.2 […]

Kevin Porter Jr. Sidelined Against Utah

Milwaukee Bucks guard Kevin Porter Jr. (knee) has been ruled out for Thursday's game against the Jazz due to right knee synovitis, marking his sixth missed game this month. His absence should keep Ryan Rollins in a significant role. He has been productive all season, including a recent 19 points, three three-pointers, and four assists […]

Donovan Mitchell Ruled Out, Jaylon Tyson to Start Thursday

Cleveland Cavaliers guard Donovan Mitchell (eye) is out for Thursday's game against the Bulls, with second-year guard Jaylon Tyson stepping into the starting lineup. Tyson has averaged 14.7 points, 5.5 rebounds, and 2.6 assists in his previous starts this season, putting him on the fantasy radar as a short-term streamer during the playoffs despite managing […]

Austin Reaves Cleared to Play Thursday

Los Angeles Lakers guard/forward Austin Reaves (forearm) is available for Thursday's game against the Heat after being listed as questionable due to a right forearm contusion. Reaves finished with 14 points, eight assists, and one block in 39 minutes last game, but his 15.4 usage rate shows he takes more of a secondary role when […]

Stephon Castle Ruled Out Thursday Against Suns

San Antonio Spurs guard Stephon Castle (hip) is out for Thursday's game against the Suns and could also be at risk of missing Saturday's matchup with Indiana. His absence should allow Devin Vassell to reclaim his usual starting role after missing the previous game, and he is coming off a 20-point outing with four three-pointers […]

Kawhi Leonard Ruled Out Against New Orleans

Los Angeles Clippers forward Kawhi Leonard (ankle) will sit out Thursday's game against the Pelicans on the second night of a back-to-back, though he is expected to return Saturday against Dallas. His absence should push Kris Dunn back into a larger role after he posted nine points, two three-pointers, and one steal in 23 minutes […]

Luka Doncic Good to Go Against Miami

Los Angeles Lakers guard Luka Doncic (hip) will play Thursday against the Heat despite dealing with minor soreness, keeping the superstar active during a critical stretch of the fantasy playoffs. Doncic is coming off a dominant 40-point performance with nine rebounds and 10 assists in 38 minutes against Houston, reinforcing his elite first-round fantasy value. […]

LeBron James Available Thursday Against Heat

Los Angeles Lakers forward LeBron James (foot) is available for Thursday's game against the Heat after being listed as questionable on the second night of a back-to-back. The 41-year-old continues to produce at an elite level, finishing with 30 points, five rebounds, two assists, one steal, and one block in 34 minutes in Wednesday's win […]

Jalen Smith to Miss Second Leg of Back-To-Back

Chicago Bulls forward/center Jalen Smith (calf) is out for Thursday's game against the Cavaliers on the second night of a back-to-back, though he is expected to return Monday against Houston. His absence should mean more run for Nick Richards, who finished with 10 points, eight rebounds, and three blocks in 30 minutes in a recent […]
