Jalen Brunson Shines After One-Game Absence

New York Knicks guard Jalen Brunson (ankle) was available for Saturday's matchup against the Indiana Pacers.

But he was back in the lineup for the meeting with Tyrese Haliburton and the Pacers. […]

Xavier Tillman Sr. Won't Play On Sunday

Boston Celtics forward/center Xavier Tillman Sr. (knee) won't play on Sunday against Miami. The 25-year-old, who was traded from Memphis on Thursday, continues to deal with a knee injury. He'll now miss his sixth straight contest, so it's anyone's guess when he'll be ready to make his C's debut. Tillman has plenty to offer. However, […]

Jimmy Butler Questionable On Sunday Afternoon

Miami Heat forward Jimmy Butler is questionable for Sunday's game against Boston. The veteran is tending to a personal matter, so there's a chance he won't be out there for the matinee versus the Celtics. Fortunately, he's not injured, which has been an issue this year. But if Butler doesn't suit up, Tyler Herro, Terry […]

Alec Burks To Make Knicks Debut On Saturday

New York Knicks guard Alec Burks will play on Saturday against the Indiana Pacers. It will be the veteran's first game with the Knicks, and it comes after he averaged 12.6 points in 43 games with the Pistons this season. Burks probably won't be a consistent fantasy contributor. However, with Jalen Brunson (ankle) questionable and […]

According to Indiana Pacers head coach Rick Carlisle, guard Tyrese Haliburton (hamstring) will be available on Saturday against the New York Knicks.

Haliburton is ramping […]

OKC Adding Bismack Biyombo

Free-agent center Bismack Biyombo will sign with the Oklahoma City Thunder. He'll earn the minimum, but it's a necessary move for a team looking to bolster depth underneath the rim.

Spencer Dinwiddie Expected To Play On Tuesday

According to ESPN's Dave McMenamin, Los Angeles Lakers guard Spencer Dinwiddie is expected to practice with his new team on Monday.

Daniel Gafford To Make Mavs Debut On Saturday

According to Dallas Mavericks head coach Jason Kidd, center Daniel Gafford will play on Saturday versus OKC. Gafford was with the Wizards since halfway through the 2020-21 campaign.

Kyrie Irving Will Suit Up Versus The Thunder

Dallas Mavericks guard Kyrie Irving (thumb) will play on Saturday versus Oklahoma City. Irving missed several games recently because of a sprained thumb. Although he's appeared on the injury report since returning for the February 5 meeting with Philly, he's been out there. Not only that, but Irving has played at a quality level in […]

Luka Doncic Good To Go Versus OKC

Dallas Mavericks guard Luka Doncic (nose) will play on Saturday versus OKC. The 24-year-old took an inadvertent elbow to the face a week ago, so he's been dealing with the repercussions ever since. However, it hasn't impacted his play on the court, considering he's scored at least 35 points in four of his previous five […]

Mo Bamba Out Against Washington

Philadelphia 76ers center Mo Bamba (knee) won't play on Saturday versus the Washington Wizards. Even with Joel Embiid (knee) out of the equation, Bamba still hasn't received much action. He most recently logged 16 minutes on Friday night against the Atlanta Hawks, finishing with three points, three rebounds, three blocks, and a steal. It's unlikely […]

Tyrese Maxey Likely To Return On Saturday

Philadelphia 76ers guard Tyrese Maxey (illness) is listed as probable for Saturday's matchup with Washington. The All-Star wasn't feeling well on Friday night, so he wasn't in the lineup for the loss to Atlanta. Newly acquired Cameron Payne got the start in that one and had a fantastic debut with his new team, ending with […]

Alperen Sengun Won't Play On Saturday

Houston Rockets center Alperen Sengun (back) will miss Saturday's game in Atlanta. The 21-year-old is burdened by a back issue, and he played just 21 minutes in Friday's three-point loss to the Toronto Raptors. Unfortunately, he struggled on the scoring end in that one, ending the night with just seven points. It will be Sengun's […]

Spencer Dinwiddie To Sign With The Lakers

According to Shams Charania of The Athletic, free-agent guard Spencer Dinwiddie intends to sign a deal with the Los Angeles Lakers. The veteran was moved to Toronto from Brooklyn on Thursday, although he never got a chance to suit up for the Raptors, with both parties agreeing to a contract buyout. Dinwiddie has had one […]

Devin Booker Off The Injury Report

Phoenix Suns guard Devin Booker (hip) isn't listed on the injury report heading into Saturday's game against the Golden State Warriors. The 27-year-old didn't suit up on Thursday versus the Utah Jazz. However, he's played heavy minutes all season, so he likely needed some rest. Booker has averaged a career-high 27.9 points throughout the 2023-24 […]

D'Angelo Russell Good To Go Friday

Los Angeles Lakers guard D'Angelo Russell (knee) will play on Friday night versus the New Orleans Pelicans. The 27-year-old didn't suit up on Thursday against the Denver Nuggets because of left knee soreness. However, he's good to go. Russell was quiet to begin the 2023-24 campaign. But he averaged 22.7 points and shot 45.9% from […]

Max Christie Gets MRI On Right Ankle

According to Los Angeles Lakers head coach Darvin Ham, guard Max Christie (ankle) underwent an MRI.

According to OKC head coach Mark Daigneault, forward Gordon Hayward (calf) won't debut for the Thunder until after the All-Star break.

Buddy Hield Starting Versus The Hawks

According to Philadelphia 76ers head coach Nick Nurse, guard Buddy Hield will start on Friday night against the Atlanta Hawks. The 31-year-old was traded ahead of the deadline on Thursday after spending time in Indiana over the last few seasons. He's been a sporadic fantasy producer this season, currently averaging 12.0 points, the second-lowest mark […]

Tyrese Maxey Ruled Out Versus Atlanta

Philadelphia 76ers guard Tyrese Maxey (illness) won't play against the Hawks on Friday night. The All-Star isn't feeling well, so fantasy managers hope he gets better in time for Saturday's matchup with the Washington Wizards. Without Maxey, newly acquired Cameron Payne will enter the starting lineup and is worth streaming in deep fantasy setups. At […]

Philly Hoping Joel Embiid Will Return This Season

Philadelphia 76ers center Joel Embiid (knee) underwent surgery on Tuesday to repair his left meniscus. He's expected to miss up to eight weeks, at least.

Boston Celtics forward/center Xavier Tillman Sr. (knee) won't play on Friday night versus the Wizards. The 25-year-old was traded to Boston on Thursday after playing in Memphis for his entire career.

Jayson Tatum Will Suit Up On Friday Night

Boston Celtics forward Jayson Tatum (illness) will play on Friday night versus the visiting Wizards. The 25-year-old amassed 20 points, nine boards, and seven assists in Wednesday's win over the Atlanta Hawks. However, he had trouble finding the bottom of the net from behind the arc, going 2-for-13. Perhaps his current illness was the culprit. […]

Dejounte Murray Questionable Against Philly

Atlanta Hawks guard Dejounte Murray (back) is questionable for Thursday's game in Philadelphia. Murray missed Wednesday's matchup versus the Boston Celtics because of lower back tightness. But because the 27-year-old was involved in numerous trade rumors over the last few weeks, most believed he wouldn't be on the roster after the deadline. However, he is […]

Jaden McDaniels Injures Finger On Thursday

Minnesota Timberwolves forward Jaden McDaniels (finger) had eight points, three rebounds, and two blocks in Thursday's win over the shorthanded Bucks. However, he suffered a left index finger sprain during the contest, ending his night after only 19 minutes of work. The 23-year-old isn't always the most reliable contributor in any statistical category. Still, he's […]

OG Anunoby Has Elbow Surgery

According to ESPN's Adrian Wojnarowski, New York Knicks forward OG Anunoby (elbow) underwent surgery on Thursday.
