Jalen Brunson Officially Starting Wednesday

New York Knicks point guard Jalen Brunson (foot) will play and start Wednesday against the Chicago Bulls.

There has been no reports of a minutes […]

Deandre Ayton Officially Questionable Against Clippers

Phoenix Suns center Deandre Ayton (ankle) is listed as questionable to play Thursday against the Los Angeles Clippers. Ayton rolled his ankle Tuesday and has not been a stranger to ankle injuries in his career. If Ayton is unable to go, Bismack Biyombo and Jock Landale figure to split the center minutes. Biyombo is more […]

Cameron Payne Ruled Out Thursday

Phoenix Suns point guard Cameron Payne (ankle) will sit Thursday against the Los Angeles Clippers. Payne twisted his ankle in their last game on Tuesday and will likely need a few days to heal. Josh Okogie and Damion Lee are in line to get extra minutes off the bench while veteran point guard Chris Paul […]

Thaddeus Young Enters Starting Lineup Wednesday

The Toronto Raptors have decided to start Thaddeus Young Wednesday against the Sacramento Kings. The Raptors seem to have felt Domantas Sabonis would be too much for rookie center Christian Koloko and moved him to the second unit. In eight starts this year, Young has produced 9.9 points, 6.3 rebounds, 3.0 assists and 1.8 steals […]

Onyeka Okongwu Returns To Bench Wednesday

Atlanta Hawks center Onyeka Okongwu will come off the bench Wednesday against the Orlando Magic. Fellow center Clint Capela (Achilles) is returning from a one-game absence which caused Okongwu to move back to his reserve role. Okongwu should have a 20-minute role off the bench, but his fantasy value is directly tied to Capela's health […]

Gordon Hayward May Return Friday

Charlotte Hornets forward Gordon Hayward (shoulder) remains out Wednesday against the Detroit Pistons, but reports state he may return as soon as Friday against the Atlanta Hawks. Hayward has been out indefinitely with a shoulder injury, but appears to be nearing a return to the court. If Hayward makes his return, Jalen McDaniels and Kelly […]

Al Horford Remains Out Tuesday

Boston Celtics center Al Horford (personal) will not suit up Tuesday against the Los Angeles Lakers. Horford has now missed five straight games, but there are reports of Horford rejoining the team on Friday. Blake Griffin has been starting in Horford's absence with Grant Williams picking up extra minutes off the bench. Williams is the […]

Jrue Holiday Out With Illness Tuesday

Milwaukee Bucks guard Jrue Holiday (illness) will sit Tuesday against the Golden State Warriors. Holiday was questionable with a non-COVID illness, but is unable to suit up in a showdown against the reigning champs. Jevon Carter figures to enter the starting lineup sans Holiday, but Khris Middleton (ankle) should see higher usage assuming he is […]

Jimmy Butler Out With Knee Injury Wednesday

Miami Heat guard/forward Jimmy Butler (knee) will rest Wednesday against the Oklahoma City Thunder. Butler and the Heat are heading into the first leg of a back-to-back set so he will get a night off as he rests his knees. With Butler out, look for Victor Oladipo and Caleb Martin to get boosts in fantasy […]

De'Anthony Melton Ruled Out Tuesday

Philadelphia 76ers guard De'Anthony Melton (back) will not play Tuesday against the Sacramento Kings. Melton is dealing with back tightness so the Sixers are likely using precaution by holding Melton out on Tuesday. Matisse Thybulle will get the spot start with Melton out and is a good stream for defensive stats. Shake Milton should also […]

Chris Paul Remains Questionable On Wednesday

Phoenix Suns guard Chris Paul (heel) is listed as questionable again Wednesday against the Golden State Warriors. Paul has missed three straight games with heel soreness after being listed as questionable before all of them. Unless something changes, Paul is likely heading to his fourth straight absence. Cameron Payne has slid into the starting point […]

Maxi Kleber Leaves Game Tuesday

Dallas Mavericks forward/center Maxi Kleber (back) will not return Tuesday against the Los Angeles Clippers. Kleber had a hard fall on his back and went to the locker room, but eventually returned to the game. It seems the pain was too much as Kleber was ruled out for the rest of the game shortly after. […]

Pat Connaughton May Make Season Debut Wednesday

Milwaukee Bucks forward Pat Connaughton (calf) is listed as questionable to play Wednesday against the Cleveland Cavaliers. Connaughton has yet to play this season as he works his way back from injury, but was able to take part in the team's practice Tuesday. Connaughton is nearing a return which would likely take away minutes from […]

Jrue Holiday May Play Wednesday

Milwaukee Bucks guard Jrue Holiday (ankle) is listed as questionable to play Wednesday against the Cleveland Cavaliers. Holiday has recently returned to practice which bodes well for his status leading up to Wednesday. However, Holiday has been listed as questionable before being ruled out so his availability is not guaranteed. Grayson Allen (ankle) is doubtful […]

Paolo Banchero Remains Questionable Wednesday

Orlando Magic forward Paolo Banchero (ankle) is questionable to play Wednesday against the Minnesota Timberwolves. Banchero has missed three straight games and is in danger of missing a fourth on Wednesday. If Banchero does remain out, Chuma Okeke will likely remain in the starting lineup and continue to see big minutes. Franz Wagner should continue […]

Wendell Carter Jr. Listed As Questionable Against Minnesota

Orlando Magic center Wendell Carter Jr. (foot) has been listed as questionable to play Wednesday against the Minnesota Timberwolves. This is a new injury for Carter, and given the nature of plantar fasciitis injuries, this is something to monitor. If Carter is unable to go, Bol Bol and Mo Bamba would likely see the majority […]

Dennis Smith Jr. Unlikely To Play Wednesday

Charlotte Hornets guard Dennis Smith Jr. (ankle) is listed as doubtful to play Wednesday against the Indiana Pacers. Smith is likely heading toward his third straight missed game with an ankle sprain. With Terry Rozier and LaMelo Ball at full strength, Smith's absence only leaves a backup role for Theo Maledon. Maledon does not have […]

Justise Winslow Ruled Out Tuesday

Portland Trail Blazers forward Justise Winslow (illness) will not play Tuesday against the San Antonio Spurs. Winslow has been dealing with an ankle injury and now an illness which will force him to miss his second straight game. Shaedon Sharpe and Nassir Little should see an increase in minutes off the bench, but do not […]

Aaron Gordon Questionable With Illness

Denver Nuggets forward Aaron Gordon (illness) is listed as questionable Wednesday against the New York Knicks. The Nuggets are having a small COVID problem, but Gordon is actually listed with a non-COVID illness. With Nikola Jokic (protocols) already ruled out, Gordon would be in line for a big role if he can play. If not, […]

Jusuf Nurkic Will Play Tuesday

Portland Trail Blazers center Jusuf Nurkic (groin) will play Tuesday against the San Antonio Spurs after missing three straight games. Nurkic had the usual questionable tag before the game, but he must feel good enough to get back on the court. Drew Eubanks was serviceable as the fill-in starter but loses most, if not all, […]

Bones Hyland Listed As Doubtful Due To Protocols

Denver Nuggets guard Bones Hyland (protocols) is listed as doubtful to play Wednesday against the New York Knicks due to the health and safety protocols. Hyland has missed the past two games due to protocols and now star teammate Nikola Jokic (protocols) has been ruled out. The doubtful status indicates Hyland may be nearing a […]

Nikola Jokic Has Entered Health And Safety Protocols

Denver Nuggets center Nikola Jokic (protocols) has entered the league's health and safety protocols and will not play Wednesday against the New York Knicks. Jokic must have tested positive for COVID and must test out before being able to return to the court. Players have typically tested out within five-to-seven days which would have Jokic […]

Tre Jones Available To Play Tuesday

San Antonio Spurs guard Tre Jones (illness) will play Tuesday against the Portland Trail Blazers. Jones was questionable heading into the contest after missing Monday's game with a stomach illness. The added rest must have been enough for Jones to get over the illness as he regains his starting role. Keita Bates-Diop will likely head […]

Luke Kennard Will Not Return Tuesday

Los Angeles Clippers guard Luke Kennard (calf) has left Tuesday's game against the Dallas Mavericks with a calf strain and will not return. Kennard has been starting with Kawhi Leonard (knee) out, but only played about three minutes before leaving with the injury. Norman Powell should be the next man up for the Clippers while […]

Jaren Jackson Jr. Starting In Season Debut Tuesday

Memphis Grizzlies forward/center Jaren Jackson Jr. (foot) will play and start Tuesday against the New Orleans Pelicans. Jackson is making his season debut, but there has been no reports of a minutes restriction so far. Jackson's return will likely mean less minutes for John Konchar and Santi Aldama. However, with Desmond Bane (toe) out for […]

Tyrese Haliburton On Injury Report With Ankle Sprain

Indiana Pacers guard Tyrese Haliburton (ankle) is questionable to play Wednesday against the Charlotte Hornets. Haliburton is coming off a 39-minute game so it is unclear when the injury occurred, but he is in danger of missing his first game of the season. If Haliburton is unable to go, look for Bennedict Mathurin, T.J. McConnell […]

Bam Adebayo And Dewayne Dedmon Questionable Wednesday

The Miami Heat could be very thin in the frontcourt on Wednesday with centers Bam Adebayo (knee) and Dewayne Dedmon (foot) listed as questionable against the Toronto Raptors. With Udonis Haslem (personal) and Omer Yurtseven (ankle) out, the Heat have no true centers left on their roster if Adebayo and Dedmon are ruled out. Nikola […]

Donovan Mitchell Questionable To Play Wednesday

Cleveland Cavaliers guard Donovan Mitchell (ankle) is questionable to play Wednesday against the Milwaukee Bucks. Mitchell has missed one game due to an ankle sprain and his status remains in question for Wednesday's contest. Lamar Stevens got the spot start without Mitchell while Isaac Okoro and Cedi Osman saw extra run off the bench. If […]

Jarrett Allen Out Wednesday With Illness

Cleveland Cavaliers center Jarrett Allen (illness) will not play Wednesday against the Milwaukee Bucks. This is not a surprise as there was a previous report of Allen not traveling to Milwaukee, but that was due to an ankle injury and now he is listed with an illness. Hopefully this means the ankle injury is in […]

Justise Winslow Questionable With Illness

Portland Trail Blazers forward Justise Winslow (illness) is listed as questionable Tuesday night against the San Antonio Spurs. Winslow missed their last game with an ankle injury, but is now dealing with an illness, putting his availability in jeopardy. With Winslow out on Saturday, Shaedon Sharpe and Nassir Little saw extra minutes off the bench, […]
