LeBron James Cleared To Face The Hawks

Los Angeles Lakers forward LeBron James (foot) will play on Friday versus the Hawks. The 40-year-old continues to play well, most recently amassing 38 points in Thursday's 114-106 win over the Portland Trail Blazers. He did log 36 minutes, so there's a chance he won't play as much on Friday night. With Anthony Davis (ankle) […]

Anthony Davis Back On Friday Night

Los Angeles Lakers center Anthony Davis (ankle) will play on Friday versus the Hawks. AD wasn't available for Thursday's win over the Trail Blazers because of a sprained ankle, only his second absence of the 2024-25 campaign. But the Lakers were able to pull off the win without him. Fortunately, Davis is back and is […]

Jalen Suggs Won't Return On Friday Night

Orlando Magic guard Jalen Suggs (back) won't return to Friday's game against the Toronto Raptors. The 23-year-old wasn't having the best game, scoring only six points until he went down with a non-contact injury near the end of the second quarter. He was taken off the floor in a wheelchair and eventually diagnosed with back […]

Tim Patrick Not A Reliable Option In Week 18

Detroit Lions wide receiver Tim Patrick has had a decent season, especially for a wideout who missed so much time due to injuries over the years. He's appeared in 15 contests during the 2024-25 campaign, totaling 31 catches for 379 yards and three touchdowns. Without question, Patrick was more productive while a member of the […]

Sam LaPorta Looking For Another Touchdown On Sunday Night

Detroit Lions tight end Sam LaPorta played better as a rookie. But after a rough start to the 2024-25 campaign, the 23-year-old has finally put together a decent season, totaling 53 catches for 663 yards and seven touchdowns. He's also found the end zone in each of his previous two contests. With the Minnesota Vikings […]

Jameson Williams Looking To Play Better Against Minnesota In Week 18

Detroit Lions wide receiver Jameson Williams has finally been a reliable fantasy option for managers after years of injuries and suspension. While he missed two games this season, he has still posted career-highs in catches (52), yards (967), and touchdowns (seven). The Lions are hoping to secure the top spot in the NFC heading toward […]

Jahmyr Gibbs A Top Fantasy Option For Week 18

Detroit Lions running back Jahmyr Gibbs has had a stellar season. He's appeared in all 16 of Detroit's contests, posting career-highs in rushing yards (1,273), receiving yards (486), rushing touchdowns (13), and receiving touchdowns (three). Without question, the 22-year-old has been a reliable fantasy option for managers. That trend should continue in Week 18 versus […]

Amon-Ra St. Brown Ready To Cap Off Another Productive Season

Detroit Lions wide receiver Amon-Ra St. Brown has had another quality year, as expected. He's amassed only 1,186 yards, significantly down from the 2023-24 campaign. However, the wideout has posted a career-high 12 touchdowns this season. With the Lions looking to secure the No. 1 spot in the NFC, St. Brown and the Lions will […]

Jared Goff Ready To Roll On Sunday Night

Detroit Lions quarterback Jared Goff has had arguably the best season of his career in 2024-25. He's appeared in 16 games, throwing for 4,398 yards. The 30-year-old has also tossed 36 touchdowns and completed 71.7% of his attempts, both the highest marks since entering the league in 2016. With the Lions looking to lock up […]

Miles McBride Out Again Versus OKC

New York Knicks guard Miles McBride (hamstring) won't play on Friday against OKC. Deuce has been battling hamstring tightness, so he'll miss his second consecutive game on Friday night. Had Jalen Brunson (calf) remained out, McBride could have benefited if he were active. However, with Brunson available on Friday, McBride's upside would have been limited. […]

Jalen Brunson Cleared For Friday Night

New York Knicks guard Jalen Brunson (calf) will play on Friday versus OKC. Brunson hasn't been as productive on the scoring end this season compared to the 2023-24 campaign. However, he's still a potent fantasy provider, averaging 25.2 points, 7.7 assists, and 40.3% shooting from behind the arc. Brunson has mostly been playing through calf […]

Brandon Miller Still Out Versus The Pistons

Charlotte Hornets guard Brandon Miller (ankle) remains out on Friday against the Pistons. He's had the best season of his young career, averaging 21.4 points, 5.1 boards, and 1.1 steals. Unfortunately, the 22-year-old has been sidelined of late, missing time because of an ankle injury. Hopefully, Miller can play on Sunday versus Cleveland. But as […]

LaMelo Ball Remains Out On Friday

Charlotte Hornets guard LaMelo Ball (ankle, wrist) remains out on Friday versus Detroit. Melo has been sidelined the last two games, most recently missing Monday's overtime loss to the Chicago Bulls. There was hope that extra time in between contests would allow Ball to get right. Unfortunately, that's not the case, so his next chance […]

Cam Thomas Uncertain To Face The 76ers

Brooklyn Nets guard Cam Thomas (hamstring) is questionable for Saturday's meeting with the 76ers. The 23-year-old missed over a month because of a hamstring strain. However, he has appeared in two games since returning, most recently amassing 24 points, seven rebounds, and two steals on Thursday against the Milwaukee Bucks. With Cameron Thomas (ankle) doubtful, […]

Cameron Johnson Officially Doubtful For Saturday Night

Brooklyn Nets forward Cameron Johnson (ankle) is officially listed as doubtful for Saturday's game against the 76ers. Johnson has had the best year of his career, most recently scoring 26 points and going 6-for-12 from deep in Thursday's narrow win over the Milwaukee Bucks. Unfortunately, he tweaked his ankle near the end of the contest, […]

Joel Embiid Will Play On Thursday Night

Philadelphia 76ers center Joel Embiid (foot) will play on Thursday versus the Warriors. The multi-time All-Star has been frequently mentioned in the league's official injury report all year. He didn't play in Wednesday's loss to the Kings, allowing Guerschon Yabusele to start. However, with Embiid back in the mix, he must be included in all […]

Andrei Iosivas Looking For A Strong End To The Regular Season

Cincinnati Bengals wide receiver Andrei Iosivas hasn't been the most consistent fantasy option during the 2024-25 campaign. However, he's still had the best season of his young career, catching 34 passes for 467 yards and six touchdowns. Granted, the 25-year-old hasn't been productive enough to be considered a week-to-week fantasy starter. But with Tee Higgins […]

Khalil Herbert May Need To Take Over In Week 18

Cincinnati Bengals running back Khalil Herbert has barely seen any action since being traded by the Chicago Bears in November. He's appeared in seven games for the Bengals this season. However, he has only eight carries for 45 yards and one catch for seven yards to show for it. But with Chase Brown (ankle) questionable […]

Mike Gesicki Could Remain Involved In Week 18

Cincinnati Bengals tight end Mike Gesicki hasn't been the most reliable fantasy option throughout the 2024-25 campaign. To be fair, he's had some productive outings, although they have been few and far between. However, the 29-year-old is coming off a potent performance, catching 10 of his 12 targets for 86 yards in the Week 17 […]

Ja'Marr Chase Will Need Another Big Showing On Saturday

Cincinnati Bengals wide receiver Ja'Marr Chase has been a top fantasy option all year, leading all wideouts in catches (117), yards (1,612), and touchdowns (16). With Cincinnati still alive for the postseason, the former LSU Tiger will need to be at his best in Week 18 versus the Steelers. Chase played well enough when the […]

Joe Burrow Good To Go For Week 18

Cincinnati Bengals quarterback Joe Burrow (wrist, knee) was limited during practice on Tuesday and Wednesday. However, he's was a full participant in Friday's session. The Bengals still have a chance to make the playoffs, so it would have taken a lot to keep the signal-caller off the field in Week 18 against the Steelers. While […]

Noah Clowney Suffers A Back Injury Versus Toronto

Brooklyn Nets forward Noah Clowney (back) exited Wednesday's 130-113 loss to the Raptors after taking a fall. He did not return. The 20-year-old has played well this season, averaging 8.9 points and 39.1% shooting from deep in 23 games, although he's been more productive in his five starts. Hopefully, the injury isn't anything serious. But […]

Paolo Banchero Making More Progress

Orlando Magic forward Paolo Banchero (oblique) remained out ahead of Wednesday's matchup versus the Pistons. However, he was spotted before the game getting "on-court" work. Without question, this is an excellent sign regarding the 22-year-old, who averaged 29.0 points, 8.8 rebounds, and 5.6 assists in five games before going down with an oblique injury. While […]

Keegan Murray Ruled Out Against Philly

Sacramento Kings forward Keegan Murray (ankle) will not play on Wednesday against the 76ers. The 24-year-old has struggled during the 2024-25 campaign, averaging only 11.6 points, a career-low, with 7.4 rebounds and 1.4 assists. Fortunately, he's at least stayed healthy, missing just his second game of the year on Wednesday night. Without him, Trey Lyles […]

Dereck Lively II Will Play On Wednesday

Dallas Mavericks center Dereck Lively II (hip) will play on Wednesday against the Rockets. He has missed the last three games because of a hip contusion, although it doesn't appear as if it will limit his time on the floor. However, Lively has averaged only 8.7 points, 7.8 rebounds, and 1.6 blocks this season, so […]

Gradey Dick Will Suit Up Versus The Nets

Toronto Raptors guard Gradey Dick (hamstring) will suit up on Wednesday versus the Nets. The 21-year-old is having a quality season, averaging 17.6 points. He missed the Raptors' 54-point loss to the Celtics because of hamstring tightness. Unfortunately for Dick's fantasy managers, he may have trouble staying as productive, considering Immanuel Quickley (elbow) will return […]

RJ Barrett Will Miss Another Game

Toronto Raptors forward RJ Barrett (illness) won't play on Wednesday against the visiting Nets. He's under the weather and will now miss his second straight contest, so his next chance to suit up will be on Friday versus the Magic. Fortunately, Gradey Dick (hamstring) will play. Even better, Immanuel Quickley (elbow) will return from a […]

Immanuel Quickley Back On Wednesday Night

Toronto Raptors guard Immanuel Quickley (elbow) will play on Wednesday versus Brooklyn. The former Knick has appeared in only three games this season due to various ailments, most recently missing the Raptors' previous 22 contests because of an elbow injury. It's unknown if he'll have a cap on his minutes. However, Quickley is too talented […]

RJ Barrett In Danger Of Missing Another Game

Toronto Raptors forward RJ Barrett (illness) is questionable for Wednesday's game against the Brooklyn Nets. The former Knick is having the best season of his career, averaging 23.4 points, 6.8 rebounds, and 6.2 assists. He didn't get on the floor for Tuesday's 54-point loss to the Boston Celtics, so his next chance to play will […]

Bruce Brown Taking The Night Off On Wednesday

Toronto Raptors forward Bruce Brown (knee) won't play on Wednesday against the Nets, his former team. The 28-year-old missed time to begin the 2024-25 campaign after undergoing knee surgery during the offseason. As a result, the team will play it safe by resting him on the second night of back-to-back contests. With that said, Brown […]
