This is great news for Curry and would like be […]

De'Andre Hunter Ruled Out Sunday

Atlanta Hawks forward De'Andre Hunter (knee) will not play Sunday against the Denver Nuggets. Hunter recently returned from a lengthy knee injury and is experiencing knee soreness, missing the past two games. It is possible Hunter may have returned too soon which made his knee flare up. Regardless, Hunter's absence should lead to another start […]

Wendell Carter Jr. And Otto Porter Jr. To Make Debut Sunday

Orlando Magic center Wendell Carter Jr. and forward Otto Porter Jr. are no longer listed on the injury report and available to play Sunday against the Los Angeles Lakers. Carter and Porter were just sent over in a trade this past week and could both be in line for big minutes immediately. Porter was rumored […]

Christian Wood Questionable On Monday

Houston Rockets forward/center Christian Wood (illness) is questionable to play Monday against the Memphis Grizzlies. Wood missed their last game with an ankle injury and now is dealing with an illness, putting his availability in question. Newly acquired Kelly Olynyk played very well in Wood's absence and would likely gain another start if Wood were […]

Aron Baynes Starting On Sunday

With Kyle Lowry (foot) out, the Toronto Raptors will push Aron Baynes into the starting lineup against the Portland Trail Blazers. This is likely a move to match Jusuf Nurkic and Enes Kanter on the boards given their size compared to Chris Boucher. Regardless, Boucher's fantasy managers have to feel a little frustrated as he […]

Jusuf Nurkic Will Continue Minutes Limit Sunday

Portland Trail Blazers center Jusuf Nurkic will be limited to 20 minutes again Sunday against the Toronto Raptors. Nurkic just came back from both wrist and calf injuries so this is to be expected. Nurkic will play five minutes per quarter as he gets into game shape. This is good news for Enes Kanter and […]

Kyle Lowry Late Scratch With Foot Soreness

Toronto Raptors guard Kyle Lowry (foot) will not play Sunday against the Portland Trail Blazers. There was no indication Lowry was dealing with this injury, but the Raptors are entering a back-to-back set so it could just be precautionary. With Lowry out, Fred VanVleet should see the majority of the ball-handling. Gary Trent Jr., Rodney […]

Seth Curry And Danny Green Questionable Thursday

Philadelphia 76ers guards Seth Curry (ankle) and Danny Green (hip) are both questionable to play Thursday against the Los Angeles Lakers. Curry has missed the past three games with an ankle sprain, but the hip injury is new for Green and was likely picked up in their win against Golden State on Tuesday. If Curry […]

Dennis Smith Jr. Questionable Against Nets

Detroit Pistons guard Dennis Smith Jr. (back) is listed as questionable to play Friday against the Brooklyn Nets. With the departure of Delon Wright, Smith has a clear pathway to big minutes as the starting point guard, but is being hampered by a back injury. Smith is worth a look in most leagues, but if […]

Hamidou Diallo Listed As Probable Friday

Detroit Pistons guard Hamidou Diallo (groin) is listed as probable to play Friday against the Brooklyn Nets. Diallo getting closer and closer to a return and may make his Pistons debut on Friday if all goes well leading up to tip-off. Diallo is expected make an immediate impact and see a sizable role with his […]

Marcus Morris Sr. Late Addition To Injury Report

Los Angeles Clippers forward Marcus Morris Sr. (calf) is now questionable to play Thursday against the San Antonio Spurs. Morris popped up late and is dealing with a right calf contusion. With Kawhi Leonard (foot) already out, the Clippers will be shorthanded Thursday. If Morris sits, Nicolas Batum, Luke Kennard and Terrance Mann should all […]

Kawhi Leonard Will Not Play Thursday

Los Angeles Clippers forward Kawhi Leonard (foot) is out Thursday against the San Antonio Spurs. Leonard is dealing with a sore right foot, but the Clippers are in the second half of a back-to-back so it could end up being a rest day. Regardless, given his injury history and foot/leg issues, this is something to […]

Derrick Rose Still Out Thursday

New York Knicks guard Derrick Rose (conditioning) will remain out Thursday against the Washington Wizards. Rose has been cleared to join the team and return to the court, but will remain out as he works on regaining his conditioning. Rose has not played since March 2nd so it may take a few days for him […]

Nerlens Noel Out Against Washington

New York Knicks center Nerlens Noel (shoulder) is out Thursday against the Washington Wizards. Noel was actually listed as probable on the injury report, but does not feel good enough to play his usual role. Mitchell Robinson will likely jump into the starting lineup which is likely to be a permanent role after he catches […]

Jusuf Nurkic Plans To Play Friday

Portland Trail Blazers center Jusuf Nurkic (wrist, calf) is out Thursday against the Miami Heat, but plans to play Friday against the Orlando Magic. Nurkic has been recovering from a fractured wrist he sustained on January 14th and could have returned earlier, but picked up a calf injury while ramping up his conditioning. This is […]

Jimmy Butler And Goran Dragic Out Thursday

Miami Heat guard/forward Jimmy Butler (illness) and guard Goran Dragic (back) have been ruled out Thursday against the Portland Trail Blazers. Butler likely picked up the illness sometime Thursday and does not feel well enough to play while Dragic will miss his third straight game due to a lower back injury. With the trade from […]

Draymond Green Questionable With Illness

Golden State Warriors forward/center Draymond Green (illness) is questionable to play Thursday against the Sacramento Kings. This is most likely a non-COVID related illness given the chance Green is active, but something to keep an eye on. If Green is unable to go on Thursday, Kevon Looney, Eric Paschall and Juan Toscano-Anderson should all see […]

Kemba Walker Not Listed On Injury Report Wednesday

Boston Celtics guard Kemba Walker (rest) should resume his normal role Wednesday against the Milwaukee Bucks. This comes at no surprise as Walker was just getting a rest day during a back-to-back set on Monday. With Walker back, Jeff Teague will gravitate back to the bench. The Celtics have another back-to-back on Friday and Saturday. […]

Danilo Gallinari Officially Questionable Wednesday

Atlanta Hawks forward Danilo Gallinari (knee) has been listed as questionable to play Wednesday against the Sacramento Kings. Gallinari picked up a left knee contusion in Monday's blown loss and sat out the entirety of the fourth quarter.

Tristan Thompson Remains Out Wednesday

Boston Celtics forward/center Tristan Thompson (health and safety protocols) will not play Wednesday against the Milwaukee Bucks. It has been a week since Thompson entered the league's health and safety protocols, so we should be anticipating his return sooner rather than later. However, Thompson has been involved in trade talks with the deadline this week […]

Fantasy Basketball Category Streamers - Week 13

After all the March Madness we have seen this past weekend, the NBA trade deadline and fantasy playoffs loom in the distance. Those looking for a playoff push can't afford to be frugal with their acquisitions, but it could also help to see how the trade deadline shapes up and pick up the pieces from […]

Los Angeles Lakers center Marc Gasol (conditioning) will not play Sunday against the Phoenix Suns. Gasol is still recovering from COVID-19 and is "wiped out".

Landry Shamet Out For Rest Of Game Sunday

Brooklyn Nets guard Landry Shamet (ankle) will miss the remainder of Sunday's game against the Washington Wizards. Shamet suffered an ankle sprain during the game and immediately went to the locker room before being ruled out. Given the severity of ankle sprains, Shamet could be looking at a lengthy absence or end up recovering in […]

LaMelo Ball Likely Out For Year With Fractured Wrist

Charlotte Hornets guard LaMelo Ball (wrist) is likely out for the season after suffering a fracture in his right wrist. Ball took a hard fall onto his wrist on Saturday and was originally listed as probable to play on Monday. After further testing, it was revealed Ball hurt his wrist much worse than originally anticipated. […]

Giannis Antetokounmpo Doubtful To Play Monday

Milwaukee Bucks forward/center Giannis Antetokounmpo (knee) is listed as doubtful to play Monday against the Indiana Pacers. Antetokounmpo is being listed with a knee sprain and the Bucks do not have a back-to-back so this could end up being worrisome for fantasy managers. Bobby Portis and newly acquired P.J. Tucker are next in line for […]

Patrick Beverley And Serge Ibaka Ruled Out Monday

Los Angeles Clippers guard Patrick Beverley (knee) and forward/center Serge Ibaka (back) have both been ruled out Monday against the Atlanta Hawks.

Immanuel Quickley In, Elfrid Payton Out Sunday

New York Knicks guard Immanuel Quickley (ankle) will play, but guard Elfrid Payton (hamstring) will remain out Sunday against the Philadelphia 76ers. With Payton still nursing his nagging hamstring injury, Quickley will likely start as the primary ball handler. Quickley's return should also take some opportunities away from Alec Burks.

Ben Simmons Playing On Sunday

Philadelphia 76ers guard/forward Ben Simmons (knee) will play Sunday against the New York Knicks. Simmons sat out Saturday's game with a sore knee despite being listed as probable to play. This could have been more of a cautionary rest day as the Sixers are finishing up their back-to-back set and Simmons is good to go […]

Immanuel Quickley And Elfrid Payton Game-Time Decisions

New York Knicks guards Immanuel Quickley (ankle) and Elfrid Payton (hamstring) are game-time decisions against the Philadelphia 76ers on Sunday. Both Quickley and Payton were questionable coming into the day, but will need to go through their pregame workouts to see if they are cleared. If both remain out, Alec Burks will likely get another […]
