Golden State Warriors forward Kelly Oubre Jr. (wrist) won't play against the Trail Blazers on Wednesday evening.

While Stephen Curry, Draymond Green, and Andrew Wiggins will likely benefit in terms […]

Doug McDermott May Not Suit Up On Wednesday

Indiana Pacers forward Doug McDermott (tooth) is listed as questionable for Wednesday's matchup against Cleveland. The veteran broke his tooth after taking an elbow to the face on Monday night, which could force him out of the lineup against Cleveland. With the team down a handful of players, Edmond Sumner could be in line for […]

Taurean Prince May Miss Another Game On Wednesday

Cleveland Cavaliers forward Taurean Prince (ankle) is questionable for Wednesday's outing against the Pacers. Prince missed four-straight games a few weeks ago after spraining his ankle. He also missed Saturday's matchup against the 76ers due to personal issues, so this situation should be monitored, especially leading up to the trade deadline. Dean Wade has seen […]

Jerami Grant Questionable Against Toronto

Detroit Pistons forward Jerami Grant (quadriceps) is questionable ahead of Wednesday's matchup against Toronto. The veteran is dealing with a bruised left quad, an injury that puts him in jeopardy of sitting out at least the first part of the team's upcoming back-to-back. However, with the upcoming All-Star break, it wouldn't be surprising if the […]

Gordon Hayward Likely To Miss Another Game

Charlotte Hornets forward Gordon Hayward (hand) is listed as doubtful for Monday's matchup against Portland. The veteran didn't suit up on Sunday against Sacramento, and with the All-Star break right around the corner, it wouldn't be a surprise if he didn't play on Wednesday against Minnesota. With the Hornets also without a few other key […]

Kyrie Irving Likely To Be Back On Monday

Brooklyn Nets guard Kyrie Irving (shoulder) may be back on Monday night against San Antonio. The veteran sat out during Saturday's loss to the Dallas Mavericks, seemingly to rest the surgically-repaired shoulder that caused him to sit out for most of the 2020 season. With Irving potentially back in the mix, Landry Shamet and Timothe […]

Danilo Gallinari Will Play Against Miami

Atlanta Hawks forward Danilo Gallinari (forearm) will play on Sunday against Miami. The veteran hasn't missed any time due to spasms in his right forearm and should benefit with Cam Reddish (Achilles) in line to miss his fourth-straight. Fantasy managers should keep Gallinari on the radar, especially in DFS contests, as the upside is certainly […]

Jimmy Butler Could Miss Sunday’s Contest

Miami Heat forward Jimmy Butler (knee) may not suit up on Sunday night against the Hawks. Butler logged 34 minutes against the Utah Jazz on Friday night and wasn't listed on Saturday's injury report. However, the inflammation in his right knee is apparently bad enough to hold him out potentially. If Butler is absent, Bam […]

Elfrid Payton On Track To Miss Third-Straight Contest

New York Knicks guard Elfrid Payton (hamstring) is listed as doubtful against the Pistons. With a third-straight absence seemingly likely, the 27-year-old may find himself sitting past the All-Star break while he continues to work his way back from right hamstring soreness. In his place, look for Derrick Rose to draw the start against his […]

Gordon Hayward Downgraded Against Sacramento

Charlotte Hornets forward Gordon Hayward (hand) has been downgraded to doubtful leading up to Sunday's outing against the Sacramento Kings. While the injury doesn't appear to be serious, it wouldn't be a surprise if the veteran's absence extends beyond the upcoming All-Star break. In his place, look for Malik Monk, who had 25 points off […]

Cody Zeller Likely To Miss Another One

Charlotte Hornets forward Cody Zeller (hip) is listed as doubtful ahead of Sunday's matchup with Sacramento. The veteran appears to be on the path to miss his second-straight outing as he continues to work his way back from a left hip contusion. With Zeller likely to sit, look for P.J.

Jerami Grant Returns On Friday Night

Detroit Pistons forward Jerami Grant will play on Friday night against Sacramento.

He should be considered a must-start in all fantasy formats and a viable option in DFS contests.

Jeff Green Questionable Against Dallas

Brooklyn Nets forward/center Jeff Green (shoulder) is considered questionable heading into Saturday's matchup against Dallas. The veteran has been dealing with a contusion, an ailment that has caused him to miss the team's previous two outings. With Kevin Durant (hamstring) out until after the All-Star break, Bruce Brown may continue to see some additional run […]

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. If he does sit, look for Derrick Rose to likely draw another start, with the veteran […]

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. The 24-year-old recently pled guilty to a felony stemming from an October incident where he waved a gun at a family parked near his residence. He will also serve 120 days in jail, which will occur upon completion of the […]

Tobias Harris Ruled Out On Saturday Night

Philadelphia 76ers forward Tobias Harris (knee) has been ruled out ahead of Saturday's meeting with the Cleveland Cavaliers. The veteran suffered a right knee contusion during Thursday's matchup against the Dallas Mavericks. While the MRI came back with positive results, the injury may keep him on the shelf for more than one game. In his […]

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. Dean Wade may be the likely candidate to slide back into the starting lineup, with the former Kansas […]

Otto Porter Out Beyond All-Star Break

Chicago Bulls forward Otto Porter (back) will not play until after the All-Star break, according to head coach Billy Donovan. The veteran has progressed in the right direction since missing time due to back spasms. The 27-year-old is averaging 11.6 points and 6.3 boards across 23.2 minutes during the 2021 campaign. 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. In his place, Isaiah Roby should get the start once again, with the 23-year-old averaging […]

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. Look for Bruce Brown to continue to be the primary beneficiary, especially if Jeff Green (shoulder) continues to […]

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. With Elfrid Payton (hamstring) officially out against the Kings, the door is open for Rose to get some additional run. 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. The veteran has been dealing with soreness in the area, which will force him to miss his first game of the year. With the 27-year-old out of the mix, Derrick Rose will slide into the starting lineup, which will automatically […]

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. If Herro can't go against Toronto, look for Duncan Robinson to slide into the starting lineup. Robinson had 22 points on […]

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. With Tyler Herro (hip) also questionable, Kendrick Nunn could continue to benefit the most, making him […]

LaMarcus Aldridge May Play Against OKC

San Antonio Spurs forward LaMarcus Aldridge (hip) is listed as questionable against the Oklahoma City Thunder. The veteran hasn't played since the beginning of the month after dealing with a right hip flexor issue. With the team hindered with health and safety protocols, the 35-year-old could see more minutes than he is ready for on […]

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.
