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 […]

Immanuel Quickley Questionable For Wednesday Night

Toronto Raptors guard Immanuel Quickley (elbow) is questionable for Wednesday's game against the visiting Nets. The former Knick has appeared in only three games this season, missing time at the start of the 2024-25 campaign because of a pelvic contusion. Unfortunately, he's missed the last 22 games because of an elbow injury. It's logical to […]

Grayson Allen Now Questionable For Tuesday Night

Phoenix Suns guard/forward Grayson Allen (shoulder) is now questionable for Tuesday's matchup against the Grizzlies. The former Duke Blue Devil had been listed as probable after missing the last four games with a sore shoulder. However, it appears he's in jeopardy of missing another contest. With Devin Booker (groin) questionable, and Jusuf Nurkic (suspension) and […]

Dereck Lively II Questionable For Wednesday Night

Dallas Mavericks center Dereck Lively II (hip) is questionable for Wednesday's matchup with the Rockets. The 20-year-old is still a work in progress, averaging 8.7 points, 7.8 rebounds, and 1.6 blocks. He's been sidelined for the last three games because of a hip contusion. If Lively misses another game on Wednesday night, Daniel Gafford, coming […]

Kyrie Irving Off The Injury Report For Wednesday

Dallas Mavericks guard Kyrie Irving (shoulder) is off the injury report ahead of Wednesday's intrastate meeting with the Rockets. Irving sat out during Monday's loss to the Sacramento Kings. As a result, Jaden Hardy got the start. However, it was Spencer Dinwiddie and P.J. Washington who led the way on the scoring end, with the […]

Jalen Brunson Not On The Injury Report For Wednesday

New York Knicks guard Jalen Brunson (calf) isn't listed on the injury report heading into Wednesday's matchup against the visiting Jazz. He had carried injury designations over the last few games because of a calf injury. However, Brunson has been on the floor, recently combining for 73 points in consecutive meetings with the Washington Wizards. […]

Joel Embiid Resting On Wednesday

Philadelphia 76ers center Joel Embiid (rest) won't play in Wednesday's game in Sacramento. He is coming off another monster outing, scoring 37 points in Monday's win over the Portland Trail Blazers. But with Philly playing the first of back-to-back contests on Wednesday, Embiid will get the night off to rest before presumably returning for Thursday's […]

Amen Thompson To Miss Two Games Due To Suspension

Houston Rockets forward Amen Thompson will miss two games due to suspension for his involvement in a physical altercation with Heat guards Tyler Herro and Terry Rozier on Sunday. The 21-year-old has played well this season and is the Rockets go-to option from off the bench, averaging 11.9 points, 7.1 rebounds, 1.1 blocks, and 1.1 […]

Terry Rozier Suspended One Game

Miami Heat guard Terry Rozier has been suspended one game for his involvement in a physical altercation during Sunday's win over the Rockets. The 30-year-old hasn't had the best season, averaging 12.0 points and shooting 32.2% from behind the arc. While he isn't a steady fantasy contributor, his absence for Wednesday's matchup with the New […]

Ja Morant To Miss Time, Considered "Week-To-Week"

Memphis Grizzlies guard Ja Morant (shoulder) was diagnosed with a Grade 1 AC joint sprain. He was injured in Friday's win over the New Orleans Pelicans. Unfortunately, the news isn't good, with the 25-year-old now considered "week-to-week." Morant has had a down year, averaging 21.2 points. It's also not ideal, considering he underwent season-ending shoulder […]
