Elfrid Payton Doubtful Against Pacers

New York Knicks guard Elfrid Payton (hamstring) is unlikely to play on Saturday against the Indiana Pacers. Payton has been dealing with soreness in his right hamstring, an injury that forced him to miss Thursday's meeting with the Kings.

Malik Beasley To Miss His Next 12 Games

Minnesota Timberwolves guard Malik Beasley will miss the team's next 12 contests due to a suspension.

Philadelphia 76ers forward Tobias Harris (knee) has been ruled out ahead of Saturday's meeting with the Cleveland Cavaliers.

Taurean Prince Out Against Philly

Cleveland Cavaliers forward Taurean Prince (personal) will not play on Saturday against the 76ers. The 26-year-old just returned from a four-game absence a few nights ago against the Houston Rockets but will once again miss another one.

Fantasy managers in deeper […]

LeBron James Once Again Probable

Los Angeles Lakers guard/forward LeBron James (ankle) is probable on Friday night against Portland. This isn't a surprise, as the veteran has been listed on the injury report for several weeks with a left ankle sprain. With Anthony Davis (Achilles) out of the equation, the former MVP should be on the radar more than ever […]

Tyrese Haliburton Unlikely To Play On Friday Night

Sacramento Kings guard Tyrese Haliburton (calf) is listed as doubtful ahead of Friday's meeting with the Pistons. The rookie has been dealing with soreness in his left calf, and with the team looking to play it safe with the first-round pick, he likely won't be in the rotation against Detroit. In his place, look for […]

Al Horford To Rest On Friday Evening

Oklahoma City Thunder center Al Horford will not play on Friday night against the Atlanta Hawks. With OKC playing its first of back-to-back outings, the veteran will get the night off to rest, a trend that has occurred throughout the year.

Kevin Durant Out Until After All-Star Break

Brooklyn Nets forward Kevin Durant (hamstring) will be out until after the All-Star break. The veteran has been dealing with a strain as of late, with the ailment causing him to miss the team's previous six contests.

Pascal Siakam Out Against Houston

Toronto Raptors forward Pascal Siakam will not play on Friday night against Houston due to the league's health and safety protocols. At this point, he should be considered day-to-day, as it is unknown whether or not he tested positive for COVID-19. With Siakam out of the equation, look for Chris Boucher to be the primary beneficiary. […]

Derrick Rose Starting Against Sacramento

New York Knicks guard Derrick Rose will start on Thursday night against Sacramento.

The veteran is averaging 10.9 points, 3.9 assists, and a steal throughout his first seven games in New York since being traded […]

Elfrid Payton Out Against Sacramento

New York Knicks guard Elfrid Payton (hamstring) will not play on Thursday night against Sacramento.

Tyler Herro Questionable Against Raptors

Miami Heat guard Tyler Herro (hip) is listed as questionable for Wednesday's matchup against the Raptors. The 21-year-old sat out of Monday's meeting against the Thunder after sustaining a contusion to his right hip.

Goran Dragic Questionable Against Toronto

Miami Heat guard Goran Dragic (ankle) has been deemed questionable for Wednesday's outing against Toronto. The veteran has been dealing with a sprain in his left ankle, an injury that has caused him to miss his previous nine contests.

San Antonio Spurs forward LaMarcus Aldridge (hip) is listed as questionable against the Oklahoma City Thunder.

Steven Adams Upgraded To Probable

New Orleans Pelicans center Steven Adams (ankle) has been upgraded to probable ahead of Wednesday's matchup against Detroit. The veteran returned to practice on Tuesday after missing his previous two games. If Adams is cleared during pre-game warmups against the Pistons, expect Willy Hernangomez to see a decrease in fantasy value.

Nerlens Noel Will Start On Tuesday

New York Knicks center Nerlens Noel (ankle) will start on Tuesday against Golden State. The veteran has been dealing with soreness in his left ankle, but it's nothing that should cause him problems down the line, at least for now. With James Wiseman (wrist) and Kevon Looney (ankle) back for the Warriors, the 26-year-old will […]

Kristaps Porzingis Not On The Block

Dallas Mavericks forward/center Kristaps Porzingis (back) will remain with the team, according to owner Mark Cuban.

The 25-year-old continues to deal with tightness in his back, an injury that will keep him out […]

Kevin Durant May Be Back Before The All-Star Break

Brooklyn Nets forward Kevin Durant (hamstring) could be back before the All-Star break. The former MVP has missed his previous four games due to the ailment, but with the team looking to win a title in 2021, he won't be rushed back either. While he is out, expect Kyrie Irving and James Harden to continue […]

Taurean Prince Likely To Miss Another Game

Cleveland Cavaliers forward Taurean Prince (ankle) is listed as doubtful on Tuesday against the Atlanta Hawks. The veteran has been dealing with a sprain as of late, an ailment that caused him to miss his previous three outings. In his stead, Dean Wade appears set to draw his first career start.

Rajon Rondo Available On Tuesday Night

Atlanta Hawks guard Rajon Rondo (back) is available to play on Tuesday night against the Cleveland Cavaliers. The veteran has been dealing with lower-back pain, an injury that forced him to sit out during the team's previous seven outings. He still shouldn't be considered a viable fantasy option, primarily since he averages only 15 minutes […]

P.J. Tucker Probable Against Cleveland

Houston Rockets forward/center P.J. Tucker (quad) will likely play on Wednesday night against Cleveland. The veteran has been dealing with the injury but still managed to suit up on Monday night against Chicago. With DeMarcus Cousins no longer with the team and Christian Wood (ankle) out, he should be considered a dart throw value play […]

Glenn Robinson III Out Again On Sunday

Sacramento Kings forward Glenn Robinson III (knee) will not play on Sunday against the Milwaukee Bucks. The veteran also sat out during Saturday's affair with the Chicago Bulls, which left the door open for Tyrese Haliburton to benefit the most. With Harrison Barnes (foot) also out, the team will likely continue to run its starting […]

Nicolas Claxton Available On Sunday Night

Brooklyn Nets forward Nicolas Claxton (knee) is available to play on Sunday night against the Los Angeles Clippers. This is excellent news, primarily since the team is lacking size underneath the basket. However, on the fantasy end, the 21-year-old probably won't do much as he will likely face a minutes cap in his first game […]

Devonte’ Graham Listed As Doubtful

Charlotte Hornets guard Devonte' Graham (knee) is listed as doubtful for Monday's matchup against the Utah Jazz. The 25-year-old has been dealing with discomfort in his left knee, an ailment that caused him to miss Friday night's outing against Golden State.

Orlando Magic forward Al-Farouq Aminu will start on Sunday against Detroit. The veteran has appeared in only three games this year, having recently logged just 13 minutes the other night against the Golden State Warriors. With the 30-year-old in the starting rotation, Khem Birch and Gary Clark will likely see a decrease in minutes from […]

Kyle Lowry Officially Out Against Philly

Toronto Raptors guard Kyle Lowry (thumb) will not play on Sunday against Philadelphia. Head coach Nick Nurse initially indicated that the veteran would miss at least two games, but when he popped up as questionable on the league's official injury report on Saturday, there was speculation he could return sooner than expected.
