Austin Reaves Nearing Return on Lakers Road Trip

Los Angeles Lakers guard/forward Austin Reaves (ankle) is trending toward a return after taking part in a scrimmage Saturday.

Christian Braun Remains Out Sunday Against Memphis

Denver Nuggets guard/forward Christian Braun (ankle) will miss Sunday's matchup with Memphis, marking his ninth straight absence and leaving his return timeline unclear.

Pickett has averaged 7.8 points, 5.8 assists, and 4.8 rebounds […]

Santi Aldama Remains Out Sunday Against Denver

Memphis Grizzlies forward/center Santi Aldama (knee) will sit out Sunday against Denver, marking his third straight absence and keeping his status uncertain for Monday in Houston.

Ajay Mitchell, Alex Caruso Ruled Out Sunday vs. Raptors

Oklahoma City Thunder guard Ajay Mitchell (abdomen) will miss Sunday's game against Toronto, while guard/forward Alex Caruso (adductor) also remains sidelined. Mitchell's second straight absence and Caruso's continued inactivity thin Oklahoma City's perimeter rotation and push minutes to secondary options. Cason Wallace has offered the safest fantasy floor, posting 10 points, five rebounds, and two […]

Isaiah Hartenstein Out Again Sunday vs. Raptors

Oklahoma City Thunder center Isaiah Hartenstein (calf) will remain sidelined Sunday against Toronto, extending his absence to 15 straight games with no firm return date. His continued absence keeps the Thunder thin up front and creates situational fantasy openings. Kenrich Williams has flashed usefulness when his minutes climb, posting 12 points, seven rebounds, and four […]

Devin Booker Ruled Out Sunday vs. Heat

Phoenix Suns guard Devin Booker (ankle) will not play Sunday against Miami after exiting Friday's loss on crutches, and the situation carries multi-game risk. His absence funnels fantasy value to the backcourt. Grayson Allen has been steady, averaging 19.0 points, 3.2 rebounds, and 4.0 assists over his last five games with strong three-point volume. Collin […]

Paul George Set to Suit Up Against New York

Philadelphia 76ers guard/forward Paul George (knee) is probable for Saturday's game against the Knicks as he continues left knee injury management. George has played through the issue recently, averaging 14.8 points, 5.4 rebounds, 4.4 assists, and 1.8 steals in 31.7 minutes over his last five appearances. His availability slightly redistributes usage, trimming opportunities for Kelly […]

Ja Morant Facing Multi-Week Absence With Elbow Sprain

Memphis Grizzlies guard Ja Morant (elbow) will be reevaluated in roughly three weeks after suffering a left elbow UCL sprain, effectively sidelining him until after the All-Star break. The extended absence shifts short-term fantasy value to the backcourt replacements. Cam Spencer has been the most reliable option, averaging 12.2 points, 8.4 assists, and 3.6 rebounds […]

Joel Embiid On Track to Play vs. Knicks

Philadelphia 76ers center Joel Embiid (ankle) is probable for Saturday's matchup against the Knicks after sitting earlier this week for ankle management.

Over his last five appearances, Embiid is averaging 28.4 points, […]

Daniel Gafford Expected to Play Saturday vs. Lakers

Dallas Mavericks center Daniel Gafford (ankle) is probable for Saturday's game against the Lakers as he manages a right ankle sprain, which matters for a Dallas frontcourt thinned further with Anthony Davis (finger) still sidelined. When available, Gafford has handled interior responsibilities and averaged 6.2 points and 9.0 rebounds in 21.9 minutes over his last […]

Jalen Suggs Expected Back Saturday vs. Cavaliers

Orlando Magic guard Jalen Suggs (knee) is probable to return Saturday against Cleveland after missing eight games with a right knee MCL contusion. A minutes cap or bench role remains possible, but his presence reshapes Orlando's backcourt. Suggs averaged 17.0 points, 4.4 assists, 2.8 rebounds, and 1.6 steals in 27.5 minutes over his last five […]

Khris Middleton to Miss Saturday's Game Against Hornets

Washington Wizards forward Khris Middleton (foot) will miss Saturday's game against Charlotte as he continues to recover from a left foot injury, with Tuesday against Portland next on the schedule. His absence reshapes Washington's wing rotation and opens short-term fantasy opportunities. Justin Champagnie is the best bet to benefit after logging a start recently and […]

Bilal Coulibaly Ruled Out for Fifth Straight Game

Washington Wizards guard/forward Bilal Coulibaly (back) will miss Saturday's game against Charlotte, extending his absence to five straight contests after being ruled out a day in advance. His continued unavailability keeps Washington's wing rotation unsettled for fantasy managers. Justin Champagnie has been the most usable option, averaging 8.3 points, 5.0 rebounds, 1.3 assists, and 1.7 […]

Franz Wagner Misses Second Straight Game

Orlando Magic forward Franz Wagner (ankle) will miss Saturday's game against Cleveland as he continues to manage soreness following a recent return from a high-ankle sprain. The repeated absences create short-term opportunity but little stability for fantasy managers. Noah Penda flashed across the stat sheet with 13 points, two rebounds, four assists, two steals, and […]

Jonathan Kuminga Will Not Play Saturday vs. Timberwolves

Golden State Warriors forward Jonathan Kuminga (knee) will sit Saturday against Minnesota after exiting Wednesday's loss early with left knee soreness. The absence halts recent momentum created by Jimmy Butler's (knee) continued unavailability and shifts short-term fantasy value to the wings. De'Anthony Melton is the top beneficiary after posting 22 points, three rebounds, two assists, […]

Jalen Green Suffers Another Hamstring Setback

Phoenix Suns guard Jalen Green (hamstring) exited in the first quarter Friday due to right hamstring tightness, finishing with four points, one rebound, and one assist in four minutes. The setback is notable given Green has appeared in only four games all season, struggling to stay on the floor since returning from a lengthy absence. […]

Nicolas Claxton Scheduled for MRI on Injured Finger

Brooklyn Nets center Nicolas Claxton (finger) is scheduled for imaging after hurting his right pinky during Friday's double-overtime loss, though he played through it and closed the game. Claxton posted 18 points, nine rebounds, four assists, and two blocks in 39 minutes, keeping his per-game production intact but introducing short-term risk. If he misses time, […]

Aaron Gordon Dealing with Hamstring Issue Again

Denver Nuggets forward/center Aaron Gordon (hamstring) aggravated his right hamstring Friday and did not return after logging 13 points, six rebounds, three assists, and two steals in 16 minutes. Gordon recently missed extended time with the same injury, placing his short-term availability in doubt. Peyton Watson remains the safest fantasy option regardless of Gordon's status, […]

Giannis Antetokounmpo Set for MRI After Calf Issue

Milwaukee Bucks forward/center Giannis Antetokounmpo (calf) finished Friday despite discomfort but is set for imaging after appearing limited late in a 102-100 loss. The timeline remains unclear, adding short-term risk for fantasy managers given his prior calf absence earlier this season. If Antetokounmpo misses time, Bobby Portis profiles as a strong streamer after averaging 16.9 […]

Duncan Robinson Listed as Probable Friday Against Houston

Detroit Pistons guard/forward Duncan Robinson (back) is probable for Friday's matchup against Houston while managing a lower back sprain. His availability is important for a Detroit rotation that remains fluid, especially with Cade Cunningham (illness) questionable. Robinson's role has stayed stable through the shuffle, as he has averaged 17.0 points, 2.4 rebounds, and 4.4 three-pointers […]

Ja'Kobe Walter to Miss Seventh Straight Game

Toronto Raptors guard Ja'Kobe Walter (hip) will miss Friday's game against Portland, extending his absence to seven straight contests as he works back from a right hip contusion.

Collin Murray-Boyles Uncertain Friday Against Portland

Toronto Raptors forward Collin Murray-Boyles (thumb) is questionable for Friday's matchup against Portland as he works through a left thumb sprain and risks missing a third straight game. His availability matters for Toronto's frontcourt rotation, where Sandro Mamukelashvili has stepped into a larger role. Mamukelashvili erupted for 22 points, nine rebounds, four assists and three […]

RJ Barrett Could Return Friday vs. Portland

Toronto Raptors guard/forward RJ Barrett (ankle) is questionable for Friday's game in Portland, a step forward as he works toward a potential return. Barrett's availability directly impacts the backcourt rotation, as Jamal Shead would likely slide back to the second unit if Barrett plays. Shead has been productive lately, averaging 10.8 points, 2.8 rebounds, 7.2 […]

Myles Turner Expected to Play Friday vs. Nuggets

Milwaukee Bucks center Myles Turner (ankle) is probable to play Friday against Denver after missing one game. His return would tighten Milwaukee's frontcourt rotation, cutting into Bobby Portis' upside after the veteran big delivered 15 points, six rebounds, and nine assists in 37 minutes Wednesday. Turner's recent play has been uneven, averaging 11.2 points and […]

Sam Merrill to Miss Fourth Straight Game Friday

Cleveland Cavaliers guard/forward Sam Merrill (hand) will miss Friday's game against Sacramento, marking his fourth straight absence as he continues to manage a right-hand sprain.

Tyson delivered 14 points, seven rebounds, and four assists in 31 […]

Bennedict Mathurin Remains Sidelined vs. Thunder

Indiana Pacers guard Bennedict Mathurin (thumb) will miss Friday against Oklahoma City as he continues to recover from a right thumb sprain and has now missed 10 straight games. Indiana will keep leaning on Aaron Nesmith and second-year wing Johnny Furphy, though results have been uneven. Nesmith is mired in a slump, shooting 23.1 percent […]

Alex Caruso to Miss Another Game Friday vs. Indiana

Oklahoma City Thunder guard/forward Alex Caruso (adductor) will sit out Friday against Indiana, extending his absence as the Thunder continue to manage his workload. With Caruso and Ajay Mitchell (abdomen) sidelined and Aaron Wiggins (groin) carrying a questionable tag, Oklahoma City's wing rotation thins again. That creates a short-term opportunity for Isaiah Joe, who logged […]

Ajay Mitchell Won't Play Friday Against Indiana

Oklahoma City Thunder guard Ajay Mitchell (abdomen) will miss Friday's game against Indiana after exiting early Wednesday, sidelined by an abdominal strain. His absence opens short-term backcourt minutes, pushing Cason Wallace, Luguentz Dort, and Isaiah Joe into larger roles. Wallace logged nine points, two rebounds, two assists, and four steals in 31 minutes last game, […]

Isaiah Hartenstein Still Sidelined Friday Against Indiana

Oklahoma City Thunder center Isaiah Hartenstein (calf) will not play Friday against Indiana and remains sidelined by a lingering soleus strain that has kept him out since late December. With no clear timetable, fantasy managers should treat Hartenstein as a stash only in deeper formats. His continued absence opens frontcourt minutes for Kenrich Williams, who […]
