Jusuf Nurkic Questionable With Rib Contusion

Utah Jazz center Jusuf Nurkic (rib) is questionable for Thursday's game in Brooklyn, opening the door for extra frontcourt minutes if he sits. Second-year big Kyle Filipowski profiles as the primary beneficiary after delivering 12 points, seven rebounds, three assists and one block in 29 minutes in his last outing, giving him short-term deep-league appeal. […]

Marcus Smart Sidelined Thursday Against Raptors

Los Angeles Lakers guard Marcus Smart (back) will stay sidelined Thursday against Toronto, marking his fourth straight absence and leaving the backcourt thin with Luka Doncic (personal) also out. Gabe Vincent, Jake LaRavia, and second-year wing Dalton Knecht should again handle the leftover minutes, though all remain fringe deep-league flyers rather than standard-league streamers. Knecht […]

Chris Paul Set To Part Ways With Clippers

Los Angeles Clippers guard Chris Paul is no longer with the team as the organization prepares to part ways with the veteran, ending his limited backup role and creating a modest opening in the rotation. Paul averaged 3.8 points, 1.2 rebounds, and 2.4 assists across his last five outings in 13.4 minutes, so the fantasy ripple […]

Yves Missi Sidelined vs. Wolves

New Orleans Pelicans center Yves Missi (ankle) will miss Thursday's game against Minnesota, leaving rookie Derik Queen in line for another sizable workload. Queen has started the past two games and averaged 21.0 points, 8.0 rebounds, and 6.0 assists while playing heavy minutes, making him a strong short-term pickup in all formats as the Pelicans […]

Quentin Grimes Uncertain To Play Against Golden State

Philadelphia 76ers guard/forward Quentin Grimes (calf) is questionable for Thursday's matchup with Golden State after missing Tuesday's win over Washington. His absence opened meaningful minutes on the wing, with rookie VJ Edgecombe producing nine points, six rebounds, six assists, two steals, and two blocks in 24 minutes while starting. Justin Edwards and Jared McCain also […]

Bilal Coulibaly Likely Out Multiple Weeks With Oblique Strain

Washington Wizards guard/forward Bilal Coulibaly (oblique) is expected to miss multiple weeks, removing a key perimeter defender from an already thin rotation and opening short-term streaming chances on the wing. Cam Whitmore logged 16 minutes Tuesday and posted four points, five rebounds and one block, placing him on the radar as a deeper-league fringe option […]

P.J. Washington Ruled Out Against Miami

Dallas Mavericks forward P.J. Washington (ankle) will miss Wednesday's game against Miami after being ruled out despite taking part in the shootaround. Washington's absence leaves a clear lane for Naji Marshall, who logged nine points, seven rebounds, and six assists across 33 minutes in Monday's win over Denver. Marshall profiles as a short-term streamer for […]

Daniel Gafford Set To Play Against Heat

Dallas Mavericks center Daniel Gafford (ankle) is available for Wednesday's game against Miami after missing two straight contests. Gafford has averaged 7.2 points, 7.6 rebounds, and 1.2 blocks over his last five active outings, including an 11-point, 11-rebound double-double against the Heat on Nov. 24. His return steadies Dallas' frontcourt and immediately trims the minutes […]

Steven Adams Cleared To Play Against Kings

Houston Rockets center Steven Adams (ankle) is available for Wednesday's matchup with Sacramento after missing Monday's loss in Utah. His return shifts the frontcourt rotation after Clint Capela logged only 9 minutes in that contest, while Alperen Sengun delivered 31 points, eight rebounds, 14 assists, two steals, and five blocks across 38 minutes. Adams has […]

Lonzo Ball Upgraded To Available Against Portland

Cleveland Cavaliers guard Lonzo Ball (illness) is available for Wednesday's game against Portland after missing two straight contests. Ball last logged 17 minutes in Atlanta, producing three points, five rebounds, and four assists, and he continues to deliver low-usage playmaking with scattered defensive value when active. His minute volatility remains the main concern given ongoing […]

Jamal Murray Cleared To Play Against Indiana

Denver Nuggets guard Jamal Murray (ankle) is available for Wednesday's meeting with Indiana after briefly carrying a questionable tag. Murray logged 10 points, four rebounds, and nine assists across 26 minutes in Monday's loss to Dallas, continuing a strong five-game stretch that includes 37, 29, and 24-point outings. His availability keeps Denver's offensive structure intact […]

Dennis Schroder Carrying Questionable Tag vs. Houston

Sacramento Kings guard Dennis Schroder (hip) is questionable for Wednesday's matchup in Houston after missing three straight games, keeping Russell Westbrook in a prominent ball-handling role. Westbrook has averaged 13.2 points, 7.8 rebounds, and 8.4 assists across his last five outings, including a 16-point, 12-rebound, 14-assist showing on Nov. 28. Malik Monk (shoulder), who is […]

Steven Adams Questionable To Face Kings

Houston Rockets center Steven Adams (ankle) is questionable for Wednesday's meeting with Sacramento after missing Monday's game and moving in and out of the rotation recently. His last appearance featured 13 points, 12 rebounds, and two assists in 17 minutes, but Houston has leaned heavily on small-ball lineups when he is unavailable. That shift pushed […]

Tre Jones Expected To Suit Up Against Nets

Chicago Bulls guard Tre Jones (ankle) is probable for Wednesday's matchup with Brooklyn and is positioned for a larger role with Coby White (calf) sidelined. Jones has delivered steady production across his last five appearances, averaging 14.6 points, 1.4 rebounds, and 4.2 assists, and he closed Monday's loss with 20 points in 30 minutes. He […]

Lonzo Ball Nearing Return After Two-Game Absence

Cleveland Cavaliers guard Lonzo Ball (illness) is probable for Wednesday's matchup with Portland after missing two straight games and continuing to navigate periodic injury management. Ball's recent stretch has been uneven, but he still averaged 4.8 points, 5.2 rebounds, and 4.6 assists across his last five appearances, offering steady playmaking when active. His most recent […]

P.J. Washington Could Miss Third Straight Game

Dallas Mavericks forward P.J. Washington (ankle) is questionable for Wednesday's matchup with Miami, putting him at risk of a third consecutive absence. Naji Marshall has absorbed most of the power forward minutes, producing 12.6 points, 6.8 rebounds, and 3.0 assists across his last five games and playing 33 minutes Monday. His balanced stat profile and […]

Daniel Gafford Trending Toward Another Absence

Dallas Mavericks center Daniel Gafford (ankle) is questionable for Wednesday's game in Miami and could miss his third consecutive contest, keeping Dwight Powell and Anthony Davis in elevated roles. Powell has averaged 2.6 points, 2.0 rebounds, and 1.6 assists across his last five games. His only notable spike was a 33-minute outing on Nov. 29, […]

Andre Drummond Leaves Early, Status Now in Question

Philadelphia 76ers center Andre Drummond (knee) exited Sunday's game against Atlanta after six minutes and did not return, leaving his status for upcoming contests unclear. Drummond has been productive recently with 8.8 points, 14.8 rebounds, and 1.2 blocks across his last five full outings, so any absence would open a path for second-year big Adem […]

Tre Mann Uncertain for Monday's Game Against Nets

Charlotte Hornets guard Tre Mann (ankle) is questionable for Monday's game against the Brooklyn Nets after logging only 10 minutes in his most recent outing, and his potential absence carries minimal fantasy impact. Mann has averaged 5.4 points, 1.4 rebounds, and 1.0 assists across his last five games on 37.9 percent shooting, keeping him off […]

Deandre Ayton Leaves Game With Knee Soreness

Los Angeles Lakers center Deandre Ayton (knee) exited Sunday's game and did not return after appearing uncomfortable during a brief stint, putting his availability for upcoming contests in question. Any missed time would bump Jaxson Hayes into a larger role, though he remains more of a fringe option outside deep formats. Hayes has averaged 11.5 […]

Brandon Williams Questionable With Adductor Issue

Dallas Mavericks guard Brandon Williams (adductor) is questionable for Monday's game in Denver after recently dealing with a back issue, setting up Ryan Nembhard to handle most of the lead-guard minutes if Williams is ruled out. Nembhard has started the last two games and just delivered eight points, three assists, and one rebound in 21 […]

P.J. Washington Uncertain For Monday's Contest

Dallas Mavericks forward P.J. Washington (ankle) is listed as questionable for Monday's game in Denver after missing Saturday's win over the Clippers. If he sits again, Naji Marshall is positioned to draw another start. Marshall has averaged 12.6 points, 6.4 rebounds, and 2.8 assists over his last five games while shooting 48.7 percent from the […]

Daniel Gafford Expected To Miss Second Straight Game

Dallas Mavericks center Daniel Gafford (ankle) is doubtful for Monday's game in Denver, leaving Dallas to patch together minutes at the five with Dereck Lively II (foot) also out. Dwight Powell and Moussa Cisse remain fringe options, though Powell's nine points, five rebounds, three assists, six steals, and one block in 34 minutes Saturday suggest […]

Kyshawn George Returns to Lineup After One-Game Absence

Washington Wizards guard/forward Kyshawn George (illness) is back in the starting group after missing one game and remains firmly on the breakout track. He delivered 17 points, 12 rebounds, and seven assists in his last appearance and continues to produce mid-round numbers with 16.5 points, 6.3 rebounds, and 4.9 assists on strong shooting. His return […]

Paul George Set To Start Friday Against Nets

Philadelphia 76ers guard/forward Paul George (ankle) will start Friday against Brooklyn after being upgraded from questionable, giving the team a needed boost with multiple wings still sidelined. George has averaged 13.3 points, 4.7 rebounds, and 3.7 assists across his first three outings in limited minutes, and his return pushes Dominick Barlow, Justin Edwards, and Jabari […]

Kevin Huerter Set to Return Against Charlotte

Chicago Bulls guard/forward Kevin Huerter (pelvis) will be available Friday against Charlotte, though his fantasy outlook remains shaky after logging just 19 and 10 minutes off the bench in his last two appearances. His reduced role aligned with Coby White's return to full availability, which tightened Chicago's guard rotation and pushed Huerter into a smaller […]

Trey Murphy III Uncertain For Saturday's Matchup

New Orleans Pelicans forward Trey Murphy III (elbow) is uncertain for Saturday's game at Golden State because of right elbow soreness, which could keep him out of the opening game of a back-to-back. The Pelicans are already without Jordan Poole (quadriceps) and Herbert Jones (calf), which pushed Saddiq Bey into a 39-minute workload Wednesday that […]

Jaden Ivey Set To Play Against Orlando

Detroit Pistons guard Jaden Ivey (reconditioning) will be available Friday against Orlando after averaging 14.0 minutes across his first three outings. He contributed seven points, four rebounds, and one steal in his most recent game but remains limited as the team eases him back. His return pushes Daniss Jenkins into a smaller role and slightly […]

De'Anthony Melton Eyeing Road-Trip Return

Golden State Warriors guard De'Anthony Melton (knee) will miss at least two additional games and is targeting his season debut on the team's upcoming road trip. Melton averaged 10.3 points, 3.3 rebounds, 2.8 assists, and 1.2 steals in 20.2 minutes last year, but he will need to win minutes from Brandin Podziemski once active. Podziemski […]

Jonathan Kuminga Questionable Ahead Of Pelicans Matchup

Golden State Warriors forward Jonathan Kuminga (knee) is questionable for Saturday's game against New Orleans after missing seven straight contests, though he has resumed full 5-on-5 activity and appears close to returning. Kuminga logged several strong lines before the injury, including 25 points with 10 rebounds and 24 points with eight rebounds, and he could […]
