Noah Clowney Won't Play Friday Vs. New York

Brooklyn Nets forward/center Noah Clowney (wrist) will miss Friday's game against the Knicks after injuring his wrist in Wednesday's loss to the Thunder.

GG Jackson II Unlikely to Play Against Boston

Memphis Grizzlies forward/center GG Jackson II (knee) is doubtful for Friday's game against the Celtics due to left knee soreness and could be held out with the second leg of a back-to-back looming Saturday.

Minnesota Timberwolves forward/center Naz Reid (ankle) is questionable for Friday's game against the Trail Blazers and could miss a second straight contest.

John Konchar Out Thursday Against Bucks

Utah Jazz forward John Konchar (quadriceps) will miss Thursday's game against the Bucks after returning from a three-game calf injury absence Wednesday and picking up a right quad contusion in his first game back.

Kyle Kuzma Ready to Play Thursday Vs. Utah

Milwaukee Bucks forward Kyle Kuzma (elbow) is available for Thursday's game against the Jazz after being listed as probable due to a right elbow contusion.

Myles Turner Set to Return Versus Jazz

Milwaukee Bucks center Myles Turner (calf) will play Thursday against the Jazz after missing one game, likely sending Jericho Sims back to a reserve role. Turner has been somewhat inconsistent this season but remains a usable fantasy option when active, especially for managers needing three-pointers from the center spot.

Kevin Porter Jr. Sidelined Against Utah

Milwaukee Bucks guard Kevin Porter Jr. (knee) has been ruled out for Thursday's game against the Jazz due to right knee synovitis, marking his sixth missed game this month.

Reaves finished with 14 points, eight assists, and one block in 39 minutes last game, but his 15.4 usage rate shows he takes more of a secondary role when […]

Stephon Castle Ruled Out Thursday Against Suns

San Antonio Spurs guard Stephon Castle (hip) is out for Thursday's game against the Suns and could also be at risk of missing Saturday's matchup with Indiana. His absence should allow Devin Vassell to reclaim his usual starting role after missing the previous game, and he is coming off a 20-point outing with four three-pointers […]

Michael Porter Jr. to be Re-Evaluated in 2-3 Weeks

Brooklyn Nets forward Michael Porter Jr. (hamstring) is going to be shut down for a few weeks.

Kawhi Leonard Ruled Out Against New Orleans

Los Angeles Clippers forward Kawhi Leonard (ankle) will sit out Thursday's game against the Pelicans on the second night of a back-to-back, though he is expected to return Saturday against Dallas.

Daniss Jenkins Moves into Starting Five

Detroit Pistons guard Daniss Jenkins will move into the starting five ahead of Thursday's game against the Washington Wizards. Jenkins should get a heavier look down the stretch of the season with Cade Cunningham (lung) set to miss an extended period of time. The second-year guard finished with 15 points and seven assists across 21 […]

LeBron James Available Thursday Against Heat

Los Angeles Lakers forward LeBron James (foot) is available for Thursday's game against the Heat after being listed as questionable on the second night of a back-to-back.

Isaiah Collier is Sitting Out on Thursday

Utah Jazz guard Isaiah Collier (hamstring) has been ruled out ahead of Thursday's game against the Milwaukee Bucks.

Jalen Smith to Miss Second Leg of Back-To-Back

Chicago Bulls forward/center Jalen Smith (calf) is out for Thursday's game against the Cavaliers on the second night of a back-to-back, though he is expected to return Monday against Houston.

Collin Sexton is Available for Thursday's Game

Chicago Bulls guard Collin Sexton (leg) is available to play ahead of Thursday's game against the Cleveland Cavaliers. Sexton made his return after a four-game absence on Wednesday.

Royce O'Neale to Miss First Game of Season

Phoenix Suns forward Royce O'Neale (knee) is out for Thursday's game against the Spurs, marking his first absence of the season and an unfortunate development during fantasy playoff week with Phoenix scheduled for five games.

Darius Garland Won't Play on Thursday

Los Angeles Clippers guard Darius Garland (foot) has been ruled out ahead of Thursday's game against the New Orleans Pelicans. Unsurprisingly, the Clippers have decided to rest Garland in the second leg of this back-to-back set. He finished with 13 points with six assists across 29 minutes of action on Wednesday. He figures to be […]

Malik Monk Active Thursday
