However, the former Duke Blue Devil's career has been surrounded by controversy, ultimately impacting his ability to win an MVP. The NBA trade deadline […]

Jets Have No Plans To Trade Zach Wilson

The 23-year-old was taken No. 2 overall in the 2021 NFL Draft and has appeared in 22 games for the club. Throughout his tenure in New York, Wilson has struggled, amassing 4,022 yards, 15 touchdowns, and 18 interceptions […]

Cleveland Browns defensive end Myles Garrett (toe) suffered a dislocated toe during the Pro Bowl Games on Sunday. The 27-year-old had a terrific season, finishing with a career-high 60 total tackles and 16 sacks. Fortunately, the 2023-24 campaign is a ways away, so Garrett should be good to go barring a significant setback.

Dorian Finney-Smith On The Move To Brooklyn

The Mavericks are sending Dorian Finney-Smith and Spencer Dinwiddie to the Nets in exchange for Kyrie Irving and Markieff Morris. Finney-Smith has spent his entire career in Dallas, averaging 8.3 points, 4.6 rebounds, and 1.4 assists. Although the 29-year-old isn't the most consistent offensive option, he will certainly give Brooklyn a much-needed boost on the […]

Stephen Curry To Miss Multiple Weeks

Golden State Warriors guard Stephen Curry (leg) is expected to miss "multiple weeks," according to The Athletic's Shams Charania. Curry has already missed nearly a month this season because of a shoulder injury. However, he'll now be out for the foreseeable future, opening the door for Jordan Poole to slide over to the point guard […]

Spencer Dinwiddie Returning To Brooklyn

The Mavericks are sending Spencer Dinwiddie, Dorian Finney-Smith, and multiple draft picks to the Nets in exchange for Kyrie Irving and Markieff Morris. Dinwiddie has averaged 17.7 points, 5.3 assists and shot 40.5% from deep in 53 games this season. However, he'll now return to Brooklyn, a city where he played for five seasons. Dinwiddie […]

Jamal Murray Doubtful Versus Minnesota

Denver Nuggets guard Jamal Murray (knee) is not expected to play on Sunday against the Timberwolves. The 25-year-old exploded for 41 points while shooting 7-for-12 in the win over the Atlanta Hawks on Saturday night. However, he'll likely get the night off before presumably returning for the rematch with Minnesota on Tuesday. As a result, […]

Caris LeVert Questionable Again On Sunday

Cleveland Cavaliers guard Caris LeVert (hamstring) remains questionable for Sunday's game in Indiana. He didn't play on Thursday in the win over Memphis, allowing Cedi Osman to finish with 21 points in 32 minutes from the bench. If LeVert is ruled out again, Osman should draw interest for those in deeper fantasy formats. However, it […]

Joel Embiid Questionable Against The Knicks

Philadelphia 76ers center Joel Embiid (foot) is questionable for Sunday's meeting with the New York Knicks. The 28-year-old has dealt with foot soreness for nearly the entire season, so his presence on the league's official injury report shouldn't come as a surprise. While anything can change regarding Embiid's availability, fantasy managers should expect him to […]

Kyrie Irving Could Sit Until Traded

According to NBA insider Chris Haynes, the Nets intend to sit Kyrie Irving until he's traded ahead of the February 9 deadline. The multi-time All-Star formally asked to be moved on Friday while advising the club that he will not re-sign with the team this offseason. Irving has played well this season, averaging 27.1 points, […]

De'Aaron Fox Remains Out On Sunday

Sacramento Kings guard De'Aaron Fox (personal) remains out on Sunday against the Pelicans. Fox didn't play on Friday, allowing Davion Mitchell to take his place in the rotation. However, he finished with only three points in 22 minutes. While fantasy managers should keep Mitchell on the radar versus New Orleans, it will be tough for […]

Jaren Jackson Jr. May Miss Another Game On Sunday

Memphis Grizzlies forward Jaren Jackson Jr. (thigh) is questionable ahead of Sunday's matchup against the Toronto Raptors. He didn't suit up on Thursday versus the Cleveland Cavaliers because of right thigh soreness, opening the door for Santi Aldama to enter the starting lineup and finish with 21 points and 10 rebounds while shooting 4-for-7 from […]

Ja Morant Questionabl Versus Toronto

Memphis Grizzlies guard Ja Morant (wrist) is questionable ahead of the meeting with Toronto on Sunday. Morant amassed 24 points, eight rebounds, and eight assists on Friday night against the Cavaliers. However, it appears his nagging right wrist soreness could keep him off the floor. Of course, if Morant doesn't suit up, Tyus Jones will […]

Seth Curry Doesn't Return Against Washington

Brooklyn Nets guard Seth Curry (adductor) exited Saturday's win over the Washington Wizards and didn't return. Brooklyn was already short-handed entering this one, with Ben Simmons (knee), Kevin Durant (knee), Kyrie Irving (calf), and T.J. Warren (shin) all unavailable. The Nets will host the Clippers on Monday night, so there's a good chance Curry won't […]

Mo Bamba Suspended Four Games

Orlando Magic center Mo Bamba will serve a four-game suspension. The 24-year-old started in place of Wendell Carter Jr. (foot) on Friday against the Minnesota Timberwolves. However, his night ended after only 21 minutes after getting into a physical altercation with Austin Rivers. Nevertheless, with Carter returning on Sunday versus Charlotte, Bamba's fantasy potential would […]

Wendell Carter Jr. Off The Injury Report

Orlando Magic center Wendell Carter Jr. (foot) is available for Sunday's meeting with the Hornets. The 23-year-old sat out Friday's matchup with the Minnesota Timberwolves because of a right foot plantar fascia strain. However, he's good to go and should get plenty of minutes with Mo Bamba out due to suspension.

Kyle Kuzma Sprains Ankle On Saturday

Washington Wizards forward Kyle Kuzma (ankle) was injured during Saturday's loss to the Brooklyn Nets. The 27-year-old tweaked his left ankle in the second quarter and didn't return, ending his night after only 11 minutes of work. Kuzma has played well this season, averaging a career-high 21.6 points along with 7.7 rebounds and 4.0 assists. […]

Klay Thompson Questionable On Saturday Evening

Golden State Warriors guard Klay Thompson (illness) is questionable ahead of Saturday's matchup against the visiting Mavericks. Thompson and Draymond Green (calf) missed Thursday's loss to the Denver Nuggets, allowing Kevon Looney and Jonathan Kuminga to enter the starting lineup. Kuminga finished that one with 17 points and seven rebounds in 32 minutes and should […]

Draymond Green Questionable Versus Dallas

Golden State Warriors forward Draymond Green (calf) is questionable heading into Saturday's meeting with the Dallas Mavericks. The veteran was ruled out shortly before Thursday's loss to the Denver Nuggets, allowing Jonathan Kuminga to enter the starting lineup and finish with 17 points and seven rebounds in 32 minutes. If Green misses another one, Kuminga […]

Jusuf Nurkic Likely Out Until After All-Star Break

Portland Trail Blazers center Jusuf Nurkic (calf) is expected to remain sidelined until after the All-Star break. The veteran continues to deal with a nagging calf issue. While an MRI came back clean, the team will keep him off the floor until he's 100%. In the meantime, Drew Eubanks, who's averaged 7.3 points, 6.4 rebounds, […]

Spencer Dinwiddie Available Against The Warriors

Dallas Mavericks guard Spencer Dinwiddie (knee) is available ahead of the meeting with the Warriors. The veteran was listed as questionable on Friday because of right knee injury management. However, he's good to go, which is good news considering the Mavs won't have Christian Wood (thumb) or Luka Doncic (heel) on Saturday night. Dinwiddie has […]

Bradley Beal Questionable Versus Brooklyn

Washington Wizards guard Bradley Beal (foot) is questionable heading into Saturday night's meeting with the Nets. The veteran scored a game-high 34 points on Friday in the loss to the Portland Trail Blazers. However, he's dealing with foot soreness, so the team may play it safe by keeping him out. If that's the case, Corey […]

T.J. Warren Unavailable Against Washington

Brooklyn Nets forward T.J. Warren (shin) won't play on Saturday against Washington. The 29-year-old was doubtful heading into this one, so his absence isn't a surprise by any means. Nevertheless, with Warren, Ben Simmons (knee), Kyrie Irving (calf), and Kevin Durant (knee) all unavailable versus the Wizards, the Nets are in trouble. However, Royce O'Neale, […]

Ben Simmons Out Another One On Saturday

Brooklyn Nets guard/forward Ben Simmons (knee) will miss Saturday's matchup against the Wizards, marking his fourth consecutive absence. Kyrie Irving (calf), Kevin Durant (knee), and T.J. Warren (shin) are also out, meaning Edmond Sumner, Royce O'Neale, Yuta Watanabe, Seth Curry, and Nico Claxton may all see a sizable boost in fantasy production. As a result, […]

Kyrie Irving Out On Saturday

Brooklyn Nets guard Kyrie Irving (calf) won't play on Saturday against the visiting Washington Wizards. The timing is coincidental, considering the multi-time All-Star requested a trade ahead of the February 9 trade deadline. With that said, fantasy managers will give him the benefit of the doubt, although it will be interesting if he's back in […]

Stephen Curry Probable Against Dallas

Golden State Warriors guard Stephen Curry (leg) is expected to play on Saturday against Dallas. He has a lower leg contusion, although the probable designation is a good sign. With Klay Thompson (illness) and Draymond Green (calf) questionable, Curry could see extra opportunities on the offensive end on Saturday. Considering he scored 32 points versus […]

Spencer Dinwiddie Questionable Against Golden State

Dallas Mavericks guard Spencer Dinwiddie (knee) is questionable for Saturday's game at Golden State. The Mavs are already down Luka Doncic (heel) and Christian Wood (thumb), so being without Dinwiddie wouldn't be an ideal scenario. Nevertheless, if he can't go, Tim Hardaway Jr. and Dorian Finney-Smith should be the most productive fantasy options. At the […]

Giannis Antetokounmpo Likely To Play On Saturday

Milwaukee Bucks forward Giannis Antetokounmpo (knee) is expected to play on Saturday against Miami. The 28-year-old had a massive 54-point, 19-rebound double-double on Thursday versus the Los Angeles Clippers, so his knee appears to be just fine. Of course, fantasy managers should check his official status ahead of opening tip. However, barring a setback, he […]

Gabe Vincent May Not Play Against The Bucks

Miami Heat guard Gabe Vincent (ankle) is questionable ahead of Saturday's meeting with Milwaukee. Kyle Lowry (ankle) is out, so Vincent would take his spot in the lineup if he's available. The 26-year-old has played extremely well in his five starts this season, averaging 18.0 points and 2.2 steals, making him a must-start in all […]
