Jake Browning Ready To Roll For Week 18

Cincinnati Bengals quarterback Jake Browning (foot) doesn't carry an injury designation ahead of Sunday's showdown with the Browns. The signal-caller didn't practice on Wednesday because of a foot issue. However, he logged full sessions on Thursday and Friday, so he wasn't in any real danger of missing the finale. Browning has played better than expected […]

Ja'Marr Chase Good To Go For The Finale

Cincinnati Bengals wide receiver Ja'Marr Chase (shoulder) logged a full practice on Friday and was removed from the injury report ahead of the Week 18 matchup with the Browns. The wideout had a monster performance in the Week 13 win over Jacksonville, catching 11 of 12 targets for 149 yards and a touchdown. However, he's […]

P.J. Washington Doubtful To Return On Friday

Charlotte Hornets forward/center P.J. Washington (ankle) suffered a right ankle injury in Friday's meeting with the Chicago Bulls. He's not expected to return. Another extended absence wouldn't be an ideal scenario for Charlotte, considering the team has been without LaMelo Ball (ankle), Gordon Hayward (calf), and Mark Williams (back). At any rate, if Washington doesn't […]

Wendell Carter Jr. Sidelined Versus The Nuggets

Orlando Magic center Wendell Carter Jr. (knee) won't suit up for Friday's meeting with the Nuggets in Denver. Goga Bitadze (illness), Franz Wagner (ankle), and Markelle Fultz (knee) are also sidelined, so the Magic will need to go deep into their rotation to fill the void. That said, Paolo Banchero, Cole Anthony, and Jalen Suggs […]

Goga Bitadze Out On Friday

Orlando Magic center Goga Bitadze (illness) is out on Friday versus the Denver Nuggets. Wendell Carter Jr. (knee) is also out, joining Markelle Fultz (knee) and Franz Wagner (ankle) on the shelf versus the defending champs. As a result, Moritz Wagner will slide into the starting lineup. The 26-year-old has averaged 10.9 points and 4.4 […]

Gary Trent Jr. Out On Friday Night

Toronto Raptors guard Gary Trent Jr. (quadriceps) won't play on Friday night versus the Kings. The 24-year-old was listed as questionable because of a right quad contusion. However, he hasn't played the best this season, averaging 11.3 points, more than six points fewer than last season, so his absence won't significantly impact fantasy managers. Nonetheless, […]

Kevin Durant Officially Out Versus Miami

Phoenix Suns forward Kevin Durant (hamstring) remains out on Friday versus the Miami Heat. He's already missed two games because of a right hamstring strain. However, his questionable designation during the day on Friday suggests he's at least moving in a favorable direction. Nonetheless, with Eric Gordon (knee) also sidelined against Miami, Devin Booker and […]

Luka Doncic Sitting Out On Friday

Dallas Mavericks guard Luka Doncic (ankle) won't play on Friday against the Portland Trail Blazers. The multi-time All-Star popped up on the injury report on Friday because of a swollen right ankle, although most knew there was a chance he wouldn't be on the floor. That said, without Doncic in the lineup, Kyrie Irving could […]

Patrick Williams Ruled Out Versus Charlotte

Chicago Bulls forward Patrick Williams (ankle) won't play on Friday versus the Hornets. The 22-year-old was listed as questionable. However, his absence won't be as significant of a blow for Chicago, considering the team will get Nikola Vucevic (hip) and Zach LaVine (foot) back on Friday night. But with Alex Caruso (neck), Torrey Craig (foot) […]

Pascal Siakam's Trade Discussions "Ramping Up"

According to Shams Charania of The Athletic, the Raptors are "ramping up" trade discussions involving forward Pascal Siakam. Additionally, Charania reported that the Sacramento Kings have emerged as a legitimate suitor. But with the 29-year-old on an expiring contract, his long-term commitment to Sacramento (or any other franchise) is a significant component of a potential […]

Andrew Nembhard Won't Play On Friday

Indiana Pacers guard Andrew Nembhard (back) won't play on Friday night versus the Atlanta Hawks. The 23-year-old injured his back during Monday's meeting with the Milwaukee Bucks and didn't suit up for the rematch on Wednesday. Although Tyrese Haliburton will see more than enough minutes at the one, others like T.J. McConnell and Bennedict Mathurin […]

Franz Wagner Ruled Out Versus Denver

Orlando Magic forward Franz Wagner (ankle) won't play on Friday against Denver. The 22-year-old logged five minutes in Wednesday's double-overtime loss to the Sacramento Kings before exiting with a sprained ankle, finishing with six points. However, he'll now miss his first game of the year, although there's a chance his absence could extend beyond Friday's […]

Nikola Vucevic Might Return On Friday

Chicago Bulls center Nikola Vucevic (groin) is questionable for Friday's game against the Charlotte Hornets. The veteran has missed the last five games with a left-groin strain, although there's a good chance he isn't ready to return. However, the questionable designation at least means he's moving in the right direction. At any rate, Vucevic has […]

Anfernee Simons Questionable Against The Mavs

Portland Trail Blazers guard Anfernee Simons (illness) is questionable ahead of Wednesday's matchup against the Dallas Mavericks. The 24-year-old has been under the weather. However, the questionable designation is at least a step in the right direction. At any rate, if Simons misses his fourth consecutive game on Wednesday night, Scoot Henderson or Malcolm Brogdon […]

D'Angelo Russell Not Expected To Play Wednesday

Los Angeles Lakers guard D'Angelo Russell (tailbone) isn't expected to play on Wednesday versus the Miami Heat. He's battling a tailbone contusion, so he'll miss a second straight game if he can't get healthy. Head coach Darvin Ham recently sent Russell to the bench, meaning his fantasy ceiling has been significantly lower of late. However, […]

Jimmy Butler Sidelined Again On Wednesday

Miami Heat forward Jimmy Butler (foot) remains out on Wednesday versus the Lakers. The veteran didn't suit up on Monday against the Clippers due to a foot injury suffered on Saturday in Utah. Butler has averaged 21.0 points, 5.0 rebounds, 4.5 assists, and 1.0 steals this season. However, he's battled various ailments during the 2023-24 […]

Andrew Nembhard Could Miss Wednesday's Game

Indiana Pacers guard Andrew Nembhard (back) is questionable ahead of Wednesday's matchup with the Milwaukee Bucks. The 23-year-old logged only eight minutes in Monday's meeting with Milwaukee before exiting with a back injury. As a result, Bennedict Mathurin and T.J. McConnell received extra work, with both men combining for 41 points. With Bruce Brown (knee) […]

Khris Middleton Questionable Versus Indiana

Milwaukee Bucks forward Khris Middleton (knee, wrist) is questionable for Wednesday's Central Division outing with the Indiana Pacers. The Bucks will head to San Antonio to meet the Spurs on Thursday, so it wouldn't be surprising if Middleton is ruled out against Indiana. But either way, he'll likely sit out one of those contests. Without […]

Josh Richardson Won't Play Against The Clippers

Miami Heat guard Josh Richardson (back) remains out on Monday night against the Los Angeles Clippers. Richardson has missed the last three games because of back spasms. However, he hasn't been a reliable fantasy contributor this season, so his absence won't impact nearly as many fantasy managers. But with Jimmy Butler (foot) and Caleb Martin […]

Kawhi Leonard Will Suit Up Versus Miami

Los Angeles Clippers forward Kawhi Leonard (hip) will play on Monday against the Miami Heat. The 32-year-old has had another productive season, averaging 24.4 points, 5.9 rebounds, and 1.5 steals. Unfortunately, he missed the Clippers' previous four games because of a hip contusion. However, he's practiced fully over the last few days, so he's good […]

Caleb Martin Remains Sidelined Versus The Clippers

Miami Heat forward Caleb Martin (ankle) remains out for Monday's battle with the Los Angeles Clippers. The 28-year-old has averaged a career-high 11.0 points, 5.1 rebounds, 1.8 assists, and 1.2 steals this season. Unfortunately, he's battled various injuries, so his time on the floor has been limited during the 2023-24 campaign. The Heat could have […]

Kyle Lowry Back On Monday Evening

Miami Heat guard Kyle Lowry (head) will play on Monday against the Los Angeles Clippers. Lowry hasn't been as productive this season, averaging 9.4 points, his lowest in years. But with Jimmy Butler (foot), Josh Richardson (back), and Caleb Martin (ankle) out, Lowry could see an uptick in production. Unfortunately, he's still a risky fantasy […]

Mark Williams Out Again On Monday

Charlotte Hornets center Mark Williams (back) won't return for Monday's meeting with the Denver Nuggets. The 22-year-old hasn't played in weeks because of a back issue. At this rate, nobody can say when he'll be back on the court. However, until then, Nick Richards will continue to handle things underneath the rim. Richards has averaged […]

Terry Rozier Ruled Out Against Denver

Charlotte Hornets guard Terry Rozier (illness) won't play on Monday against the Denver Nuggets. He's not feeling well and had been listed as questionable leading up to this one. However, he'll get the night off, so his next chance to return will be on Tuesday in Sacramento. The Hornets are down some of their other […]

Terry Rozier Uncertain For Monday Night

Charlotte Hornets guard Terry Rozier (illness) is questionable for Monday's matchup with the Denver Nuggets. He's under the weather, so he may join Gordon Hayward (calf) and LaMelo Ball (ankle) on the shelf for the meeting against the defending champs. If that's the case, Ish Smith, Cody Martin, and Nick Smith Jr. could see more […]

Dillon Brooks Still Out On Monday

Houston Rockets forward Dillon Brooks (oblique) remains out on Monday against the visiting Detroit Pistons. The 27-year-old is battling an oblique strain, so he'll now miss his third consecutive contest. He'll likely miss more time moving ahead, although head coach Ime Udoka couldn't say how long he'd stay on the shelf. Brooks has averaged 13.6 […]

OG Anunoby May Play On Monday Afternoon

New York Knicks forward OG Anunoby isn't listed on the league's injury report ahead of Monday's matchup against the Minnesota Timberwolves. Although he's not hurt, he didn't suit up on Saturday versus the Pacers while the trade between the Raptors and Knicks, which also involved RJ Barrett and Immanuel Quickley, was finalized. At any rate, […]

Jimmy Butler Won't Play Versus The Clippers

Miami Heat forward Jimmy Butler (foot) won't play on Monday night against the Clippers. The veteran returned from a four-game absence on Friday evening versus the Utah Jazz. However, he suffered a right foot injury, ending his night after only 23 minutes. Without question, the Heat will do all they can to keep Butler healthy, […]

Kawhi Leonard Questionable Versus The Heat

Los Angeles Clippers forward Kawhi Leonard (hip) is questionable ahead of Monday's meeting with the Miami Heat. Leonard has missed the last four games because of a left hip contusion. He practiced fully on Sunday. However, head coach Ty Lue couldn't say when Leonard would be back on the floor. Nonetheless, if the 32-year-old can't […]

Tee Higgins Finishes Week 17 With One Catch

Cincinnati Bengals wide receiver Tee Higgins (hamstring) finished with one catch for 19 yards in Sunday's loss to the Kansas City Chiefs. The wideout exited briefly because of a hamstring issue. However, he returned, although it didn't make a difference on the fantasy end. After the game, Higgins reported he injured the same hamstring that […]
