Anthony Edwards Cleared To Play On Saturday

Minnesota Timberwolves guard Anthony Edwards (illness) will play on Saturday against Denver. He was listed on the injury report because of an illness.

Cameron Johnson Remains Out On Saturday

Brooklyn Nets forward Cameron Johnson (ankle) won't play on Saturday against Miami. The 28-year-old has been dealing with a sprained ankle, and he's only appeared in just two of Brooklyn's previous 10 contests.

Giannis Antetokounmpo Available Versus The Heat

Milwaukee Bucks forward Giannis Antetokounmpo (knee) will play on Thursday against the Heat.

Fortunately, the multi-time All-Star is good to go, which is even better news, considering […]

Khris Middleton Out On Thursday Evening

Milwaukee Bucks forward Khris Middleton (ankles) won't play on Thursday against Miami. He was listed as probable, so his absence likely caught some fantasy managers by surprise.

Tyler Herro Back Versus The Bucks

Even better, he has appeared in 41 games, missing his first game of the 2024-25 campaign on Tuesday against […]

Trae Young Will Suit Up Versus Toronto

However, he will miss just his first game of the 2024-25 campaign because of a sore knee. Capela recently lost his starting job to Onyeka Okongwu, so his value has dropped for fantasy […]

Jalen Johnson Available On Thursday

Atlanta Hawks forward Jalen Johnson (shoulder) is good to go for Thursday's meeting with the Raptors. The 23-year-old missed time recently because of shoulder inflammation.

Orlando Magic center Goga Bitadze (concussion protocol) won't play on Thursday against Portland. The 25-year-old will now miss a fifth-straight contest. It's unknown how long he'll be on the shelf.

With Donovan Clingan […]

Deandre Ayton Uncertain To Play On Thursday

The 26-year-old has appeared on the league's official injury report for various reasons over the last few weeks. However, he's in danger of missing this one because of knee soreness.

Los Angeles Lakers forward LeBron James (foot, injury management) is good to go heading into Tuesday's game versus the Wizards.

With a favorable matchup versus the Wizards on tap, James could be in line for […]

Drummond has been decent in his 15 starts […]

Paul George Cleared To Play Versus Denver

Philadelphia 76ers forward Paul George (groin) is good to go for Tuesday's game versus Denver. The 34-year-old has spent plenty of time on the injury report this season.

Dereck Lively II Has A Chance To Return Against Minnesota

Dallas Mavericks center Dereck Lively II (ankle) is questionable heading into Wednesday's game against Minnesota. The 20-year-old sprained his ankle in the meeting with the Denver Nuggets on January 14. As a result, he wasn't available for the Mavericks' previous three contests.
