Devin Booker Out At Least Two Games

Phoenix Suns guard Devin Booker (groin) won't play in Saturday's matchup with the Pistons. That has been known.

Unfortunately, there could be more absences on the horizon, based on […]

Jimmy Butler Unlikely To Play On Saturday

Miami Heat forward Jimmy Butler (illness) is doubtful for Saturday's encounter with the Orlando Magic. The veteran lasted only seven minutes in Friday's loss to OKC, exiting the contest with the stomach bug. He has already missed five games during the 2024-25 campaign. However, if Butler is sidelined again on Saturday, Tyler Herro, who had […]

Trey Lyles Might Return Versus The Lakers

Sacramento Kings forward Trey Lyles (calf) is questionable for the meeting with the Lakers on Saturday. The 29-year-old hasn't had a quality season, averaging 5.4 points and 3.9 rebounds, among the lowest marks of his career. He missed the last 10 games because of calf soreness. But Lyles had a chance to return a few […]

Keegan Murray Questionable For Saturday Night

Sacramento Kings forward Keegan Murray (ankle) is questionable for Saturday's game versus the Lakers. The 24-year-old has been dealing with left ankle soreness of late. It kept him out of a recent meeting with the Nuggets. However, he was back on the floor against the Lakers on Thursday night, the first of consecutive games between […]

Week 16 FanDuel NFL DFS Picks - Main Slate (2024): Joe Burrow, Jahmyr Gibbs, Ja'Marr Chase, Trey McBride

It’s Week 16, which began with the Chargers picking up a win over the Broncos. With the victory, Los Angeles is nearly guaranteed to make the postseason, although Denver is still in the hunt.

Mike Gesicki Lands A Favorable Matchup In Week 16

Cincinnati Bengals tight end Mike Gesicki had three catches for 37 yards in the Week 15 win over the Titans. Unfortunately, that type of showing has been the norm for the 29-year-old nearly all season. Granted, he has had a few potent fantasy showings. However, with 45 catches for 497 yards during the 2024-25 campaign, […]

Ja'Marr Chase Looking To Stay Productive In Week 16

Cincinnati Bengals wide receiver Ja'Marr Chase has been the best fantasy wideout all year. In the former LSU Tiger's 14 appearances this season, he has amassed 102 catches (138 targets) for 1,413 yards and 15 touchdowns. He found the end zone eight times in the four games heading into the Week 15 win over the […]

Chase Brown A Top Fantasy Option In Week 16

Cincinnati Bengals running back Chase Brown has had an excellent 2024-25 campaign. The 24-year-old has 832 yards off 191 carries and 47 catches for 318 yards. He's also combined for 11 touchdowns, finding the end zone at least once in seven of his previous nine appearances. With the Browns on tap for Week 16, Chase […]

Blake Corum Remains Off The Fantasy Radar In Week 16

Los Angeles Rams running back Blake Corum received attention from fantasy managers heading into the season, mostly due to head coach Sean McVay indicating he would be involved. While the rookie has gotten some action, amassing 48 carries for 187 yards and six grabs for 46 yards, it hasn't been at the level most envisioned. […]

Cooper Kupp Hoping To Turn It Around In Week 16

Los Angeles Rams wide receiver Cooper Kupp is coming off a rough showing, failing to catch any of his three targets in the Week 15 win over the 49ers. However, outside of the hideous effort versus San Francisco, the wideout has played well during the 2024-25 campaign, catching 63 passes for 657 yards and six […]

Puka Nacua Looking For Another Solid Outing Versus The Jets

Los Angeles Rams wide receiver Puka Nacua has missed time this season due to injury. However, he's been a quality wideout when healthy, as expected, catching 61 passes for 805 yards and three touchdowns in nine appearances. Although a few more end zone trips from the 23-year-old would be nice, fantasy managers are happy as […]

Kyren Williams Draws A Tough Matchup In Week 16

Los Angeles Rams running back Kyren Williams has had a quality season. He's already gone for over 1,000 yards on the ground while also combining for 14 touchdowns. Although the 24-year-old has averaged only 4.0 yards per carry, fantasy managers have been pleased with his production. With Los Angeles looking to make the playoffs, Williams […]

Matthew Stafford Not The Safest Option Versus The Jets

Los Angeles Rams quarterback Matthew Stafford is coming off a rough showing, throwing for only 160 yards and completing 59.3% of his attempts in the Thursday night win over the 49ers. He also failed to throw a touchdown after hurling two in each of his previous three games heading into Week 15. The Rams are […]

Devin Booker Won't Return Against Indiana

Phoenix Suns guard Devin Booker (groin) won't return to Thursday's game against the Indiana Pacers. Booker played 25 minutes, finishing with 17 points, six assists, and one steal. Without question, this is another tough blow for Phoenix, considering the team has been without Bradley Beal and Kevin Durant at times during the 2024-25 campaign. But […]

Damian Lillard Ruled Out On Friday Night

Milwaukee Bucks guard Damian Lillard (calf) won't play on Friday versus the Cavaliers. He's been dealing with a right calf strain. However, it didn't keep him off the floor for Milwaukee's win over OKC on Tuesday night to capture the NBA Cup. He played well, too, finishing with 23 points and shooting 5-for-10 from behind […]

Jalen Suggs Suffers Ankle Injury On Thursday

Orlando Magic guard Jalen Suggs (ankle) exited Thursday's game against OKC. He did not return. Suggs had nine points, five boards, two blocks, and one steal. But he only lasted 17 minutes before getting pulled from the game by head coach Jamahl Mosley due to a sprained ankle. He'll likely undergo further testing. However, with […]

LeBron James Active On Thursday Night

Los Angeles Lakers forward LeBron James (foot) will play against the Kings. The nagging foot injury continues to bother the multi-time All-Star, although he had some time off over the last few weeks, which has helped. As usual, he's a must-start. However, his presence will likely mean Dalton Knecht, who has averaged 14.3 points in […]

Khris Middleton Expected Back Against Cleveland

Milwaukee Bucks forward Khris Middleton (illness) is expected to play in Friday's game against the Cavaliers. The Bucks defeated OKC on Tuesday to win the NBA Cup. However, Middleton wasn't out there for that one because of an illness. As expected, Giannis Antetokounmpo (knee) and Damian Lillard (calf) handled most of the work on the […]

Joel Embiid Questionable For Friday Night

Philadelphia 76ers center Joel Embiid (face) is questionable for Friday's game against Charlotte. Nick Nurse recently indicated that Embiid's sinus fracture isn't as bad as his previous two. However, he may need another game or two before he's ready to get back on the floor. The 30-year-old was starting to look like himself before going […]

Josh Hart Won't Suit Up Versus Minnesota

New York Knicks forward Josh Hart (personal) won't play on Thursday night versus the Minnesota Timberwolves. The former Villanova Wildcat has had a stellar year, averaging 14.1 points, 8.2 rebounds, 5.5 assists, and 1.5 steals. Unfortunately, he'll miss his first game of the 2024-25 campaign due to personal reasons. Without question, the void left by […]

Nuggets, Nets Hold "Exploratory Talks" Regarding Cameron Johnson

According to Evan Sidery of Forbes, the Nuggets and Nets held "exploratory talks" surrounding forward Cameron Johnson. The former Sun has been rumored to be on the move for a while. But with teams having more flexibility to make trades, things are starting to pick up steam. Johnson had a rocky 2023-24 campaign. However, he's […]

Heat Reportedly Not Interested In Bradley Beal

According to Evan Sidery of Forbes, the Heat aren't interested in acquiring Phoenix Suns guard/forward Bradley Beal (knee). Talks surrounding a trade involving Jimmy Butler have picked up momentum over the last week, with the veteran expressing his desire to suit up in Phoenix or Golden State. However, with the Suns strapped for cash, a […]

Trae Young Expected To Face The Spurs

Atlanta Hawks guard Trae Young (Achilles) is expected to play in Thursday's game against the Spurs. It's another game, although Young is back on the injury report due to right Achilles tendinitis. However, barring a significant setback, he should be out there on Thursday. The 26-year-old has averaged only 21.5 points this season, four points […]

Kawhi Leonard Progressing

Los Angeles Clippers forward Kawhi Leonard (knee) practiced on Wednesday. Even better, it was a full-contact session. The veteran is moving in a favorable direction and will accompany the Clippers on their three-game road trip. Unfortunately for fantasy managers, he still remains without a return date. Without question, Leonard is one of the most talented […]

Onyeka Okongwu Out At Least Four Games

Atlanta Hawks forward Onyeka Okongwu (knee) will miss at least four games due to left knee inflammation. He will be re-evaluated in a week. The 24-year-old is currently having the best season of his career, averaging 11.3 points and 6.6 rebounds. But while he's sidelined, Larry Nance Jr. could see some minutes at the five […]

Kobe Bufkin Done For The Rest Of The Season

Atlanta Hawks guard Kobe Bufkin (shoulder) will miss the remainder of the 2024-25 campaign. The 21-year-old has appeared in only 27 games during his two-year career. He has also played sparingly, averaging only 5.0 points in 11.9 minutes per contest. Unfortunately, Bufkin will need surgery to address instability in his right shoulder. With that said, […]

Marcus Smart Unlikely To Face The Dubs

Memphis Grizzlies guard Marcus Smart (shoulder) is unlikely to play on Thursday versus the Warriors. Like last season, Smart has had trouble staying on the court during the 2024-25 campaign, missing 10 of Memphis' initial 27 games. Even worse, he has averaged only 9.2 points. He could have been in line for more work with […]

Ja Morant Questionable For Thursday Night

Memphis Grizzlies guard Ja Morant (back) is questionable heading into Thursday's encounter with the Golden State Warriors. The 2019 No. 2 overall pick has averaged 22.0 points, 8.4 assists, and 1.1 steals during the 2024-25 campaign. However, he's also missed 11 games for various reasons. With Marcus Smart (shoulder) doubtful, Scotty Pippen Jr. may fill […]

Jared McCain Undergoes Successful Surgery

Philadelphia 76ers guard Jared McCain (knee) underwent successful surgery on Tuesday to repair a torn left meniscus. He is out indefinitely. The 20-year-old out of Duke was in the running to win this season's Rookie of the Year award, averaging 15.3 points (23.8 points in eight starts). Without question, it's a tough blow to a […]

Joel Embiid's Current Injury "Not Nearly As Severe"

Philadelphia 76ers center Joel Embiid (face) remains sidelined due to another sinus fracture, his third throughout his career. He's due to be re-evaluated in a week. However, fantasy managers have reason to remain hopeful, with head coach Nick Nurse indicating his latest fracture is "not nearly as severe" as his previous two. In hindsight, Embiid […]
