Scoot Henderson Out On Sunday

Portland Trail Blazers guard Scoot Henderson (concussion) won't play on Sunday against the Knicks. He's now in concussion protocol, although his return to the floor could hinge on Portland's ability to earn a Play-In spot. With Anfernee Simons (forearm) questionable, the Blazers could be even more thin in the backcourt. But regardless of Simons' availability, […]

Anfernee Simons May Miss Sunday's Game

Portland Trail Blazers guard Anfernee Simons (forearm) is questionable for Sunday's matchup with the New York Knicks. The Trail Blazers likely aren't going anywhere near the postseason in any capacity, so it's hard to gauge just how severe his injury is. With that said, Simons' absence could surely open the door for added production from […]

Ty Jerome Out Again On Sunday

Cleveland Cavaliers guard Ty Jerome (knee) won't play on Sunday versus the Clippers, marking his third-consecutive absence. The Cavs are on track to finish as the top team in the Eastern Conference. However, the team will need to figure out how to keep the ship afloat without arguably their top bench option. While De'Andre Hunter […]

Kawhi Leonard Sitting On Sunday Afternoon

Los Angeles Clippers forward Kawhi Leonard (knee) won't suit up for Sunday's meeting with the Cavaliers. The Clippers play back-to-back contests, so Leonard will likely be back on Monday night against the Orlando Magic. In the meantime, Nicolas Batum is the favorite to take over at the four spot, with the veteran averaging 8.9 points, […]

Dereck Lively II Ruled Out Versus Chicago

Dallas Mavericks center Dereck Lively II (ankle) won't play on Saturday against the Bulls. He hasn't played since January. However, the 21-year-old was listed as doubtful heading into this one, so there's a good chance he'll be back at some point in the next few games. Daniel Gafford (knee) also won't suit up, meaning Kai […]

Daniel Gafford Officially Out On Saturday

Dallas Mavericks center Daniel Gafford (knee) won't play on Saturday against the Bulls. He was listed as doubtful heading into this one. Fortunately, there's a good chance fantasy managers will see him back on the floor at some point in the next few games. With Dereck Lively II (ankle) also ruled out, Kai Jones (hip), […]

P.J. Washington Available Versus Chicago

Dallas Mavericks forward P.J. Washington (ankle) is available for Saturday's game against Chicago after missing the last two games. Dallas is fighting to at least make the Play-In, so having Washington back in the lineup is excellent news. Anthony Davis (adductor) is also good to go. But with Daniel Gafford (knee), Kyrie Irving (knee), and […]

Anthony Davis Available On Saturday Night

Dallas Mavericks forward/center Anthony Davis (adductor) will play on Saturday against the Bulls. Fantasy managers will likely see him on the injury report for the remainder of the regular season and into the playoffs/Play-In, assuming Dallas makes it that far. But at least fantasy managers will know they'll have him in the lineup on Saturday […]

Devin Carter Won't Return On Saturday

Sacramento Kings guard Devin Carter (shoulder) won't return to Saturday's meeting with the Magic after logging only one minute. The rookie missed a few months because of a left shoulder injury to begin his tenure in the National Basketball Association. While his most recent injury is to his right shoulder, it's still not an ideal […]

Marcus Smart Returning On Saturday Night

Washington Wizards guard Marcus Smart (illness) will suit up on Saturday versus the Wizards after missing the last two games. The 31-year-old has averaged only 10.1 points in 12 games since arriving in Washington ahead of the trade deadline. However, with Malcolm Brogdon (ankle), Bilal Coulibaly (hamstring), Kyshawn George (ankle), and Khris Middleton (knee) ruled […]

Noah Clowney Available On Saturday

Brooklyn Nets forward Noah Clowney (illness) is available for Saturday's game against the Wizards. He had five points and shot a rough 1-for-9 from the field in the loss to the Raptors on Wednesday. However, the 20-year-old didn't suit up for Friday's matchup with the Clippers because of an illness. Clowney has averaged 9.0 points […]

Chet Holmgren Ruled Out On Saturday

Oklahoma City Thunder forward/center Chet Holmgren (hip) won't play on Saturday against the Pacers. The 22-year-old missed a few months earlier in the season because of a hip injury, so the team has given him time off sporadically since he returned to the lineup in February. With OKC having already locked up the top spot […]

D'Angelo Russell Won't Play Versus Washington

Brooklyn Nets guard D'Angelo Russell (ankle) won't play on Saturday against Washington. The veteran had only five points in 18 minutes in Friday's loss to the Clippers. With that in mind, the Nets can't earn a Play-In berth, so Russell along with Nicolas Claxton (rest), who also suit up, and Cameron Johnson could see less […]

Nicolas Claxton Resting On Saturday

Brooklyn Nets center Nicolas Claxton (rest) won't play in Saturday's game against Washington. He logged only 19 minutes in Friday's loss to the Los Angeles Clippers, finishing with six points, five rebounds, and two blocks. But with the Nets unable to earn a Play-In berth, Claxton could see less work for the remainder of the […]

Ja Morant's Future In Memphis In Doubt?

Memphis Grizzlies guard Ja Morant (hamstring) remains questionable heading into Saturday's matchup with the Los Angeles Lakers after missing the last six games because of a hamstring strain. However, on a wider scale, with the team relieving Taylor Jenkins of his head coaching duties, there are now questions about Morant's future with the organization, specifically, […]

Ja Morant Questionable For Saturday Night

Memphis Grizzlies guard Ja Morant (hamstring) is questionable for Saturday's game against the Lakers after missing the last six games due to a hamstring strain. The Grizzlies are comfortably sitting in the playoff picture. Yet, it didn't stop the team from firing head coach Taylor Jenkins on Friday. With that said, if Morant can't play, […]

Noah Clowney Won't Play On Friday Night

Brooklyn Nets forward Noah Clowney (illness) won't play on Friday against the Clippers. The 20-year-old has shown some growth in his second season in the National Basketball Association, averaging 9.0 points and 3.9 rebounds. Still, he hasn't been a consistent fantasy contributor, most recently amassing five points off 1-for-9 shooting in Wednesday's loss to the […]

Ziaire Williams Available On Friday

Brooklyn Nets forward Ziaire Williams (illness) will suit up on Friday versus the Clippers. Williams is coming off a rough outing, scoring 13 points while shooting 4-for-14 from the field and 2-for-9 from downtown. He popped up on the injury report because of an illness. Fortunately, Brooklyn will have him in the lineup. With Cam […]

Trendon Watford Will Play Against The Clippers

Brooklyn Nets forward Trendon Watford (illness) is available on Friday versus the Clippers. He was listed as questionable heading into this one. But the 24-year-old is good to go. Watford had a slow start to the 2023-24 campaign. However, he's carved out a nice role for himself of late, averaging 11.3 points, 3.6 rebounds, and […]

LaMelo Ball To Undergo Surgery

Charlotte Hornets guard LaMelo Ball (ankle, wrist) will require surgery to address a right ankle impingement and will miss the remainder of the 2024-25 campaign. He will also undergo "a minor procedure on his right wrist." The 2020 No. 3 overall pick played well this season, averaging a career-high 25.2 points with 4.9 rebounds, 7.4 […]

Stephen Curry Questionable Against The Pels

Golden State Warriors guard Stephen Curry (pelvis) is questionable for Friday's game in New Orleans. The veteran has missed the last two games after suffering a pelvic contusion in a recent win over the Toronto Raptors. Brandin Podziemski has been handling most of the duties at the one, with the 22-year-old most recently amassing 14 […]

RJ Barrett Resting Against The Hornets

Toronto Raptors forward RJ Barrett (rest) won't play on Friday against Charlotte. The former Knick has played well this season, averaging 21.3 points, 6.5 rebounds, and 5.5 assists. However, he's appeared in only 54 games, missing time for various reasons. The Raptors are still in the hunt for a Play-In spot, although time is running […]

LaMelo Ball Sidelined On Friday

Charlotte Hornets guard LaMelo Ball (ankle) won't play on Friday versus the Raptors. Statistically, Ball has had a fantastic season, averaging a career-high 25.2 points with 7.4 assists, 4.9 rebounds, and 1.1 steals. However, as has been the case over the years, he has been limited by injuries, appearing in only 47 games. The Hornets […]

Malik Monk Good To Go Versus Portland

Sacramento Kings guard Malik Monk (illness) will return from a three-game absence on Thursday against the Trail Blazers. Sacramento has lost four-straight contests, so the Kings need to get it together if the team hopes to remain in the Play-In conversation. Fortunately, Monk, who has averaged a career-high 18.1 points, 3.8 rebounds, 5.9 assists, and […]

Cade Cunningham Won't Play On Friday

Detroit Pistons guard Cade Cunningham (calf) won't play on Friday night versus Cleveland. Detroit currently sits comfortably in the playoff picture, so allowing Cunningham to fully recover from a calf contusion makes the most sense. Dennis Schroder has been starting in his place, most recently scoring seven points in Tuesday's win over the San Antonio […]

LeBron James Cleared To Suit Up On Wednesday

Los Angeles Lakers forward LeBron James (groin) is available for Wednesday's clash with the Pacers. The multi-time All-Star missed seven games because of a groin injury. However, he's played in the Lakers' last two games. Although it may take James another game or two to return to form, he's still a must-start in any fantasy […]

Rui Hachimura Available And Starting Versus Indiana

Los Angeles Lakers forward Rui Hachimura (knee) will play and start on Wednesday against Indiana. The veteran was on the shelf for an extended period because of a knee injury. Fortunately, he's been available for Los Angeles' previous two contests. However, Hachimura has struggled since returning, combing for just 10 points during that span. He's […]

Joel Embiid "Decision Should Be Soon-Ish"

According to Philadelphia 76ers head coach Nick Nurse, center Joel Embiid (knee) has consulted with "many doctors and specialists" regarding the plan for his ailing left knee. While a decision hasn't been made about how to proceed with treatment, Nurse expects one "soon-ish." It's been a horrendous year for the 76ers, a team many believed […]

Tyrese Maxey Progressing

According to Philadelphia 76ers head coach Nick Nurse, Philadelphia 76ers guard Tyrese Maxey (finger) has been working out. He's currently wearing a splint on his injured right finger, with the ailment keeping him off the floor for Philadelphia's previous 12 games. Despite the 76ers' disastrous year, Maxey has thrived, averaging a career-high 26.3 points with […]

Anthony Davis Questionable For Thursday Night

Dallas Mavericks forward/center Anthony Davis (adductor) is questionable for Thursday's meeting with the Orlando Magic. AD recently returned to the lineup for Monday's win over Brooklyn after spending time on the shelf because of a strained adductor. He played well despite being limited to only 26 minutes, ending the night with 12 points, six rebounds, […]
