Kyle Anderson Likely Out Monday

Memphis Grizzlies forward Kyle Anderson (knee) is doubtful for Monday's matchup against the Kings and appears likely to miss a second straight contest due to right knee soreness. His absence should keep Olivier-Maxence Prosper and Taylor Hendricks in the rotation mix. Prosper started last game and delivered nine points, four rebounds, four assists, and four […]

Cedric Coward Remains Out Vs. Kings

Memphis Grizzlies guard/forward Cedric Coward (knee) will remain out for Monday's matchup against the Kings, extending his absence to four straight games due to a posterior capsule sprain in his right knee. With Coward sidelined, Walter Clayton Jr., Cam Spencer, and Olivier-Maxence Prosper should continue seeing elevated minutes. Clayton logged nine points, four rebounds, and […]

Kawhi Leonard Cleared to Play Sunday

Los Angeles Clippers forward Kawhi Leonard (ankle) has been upgraded to available for Sunday's game against the Magic after initially being listed as questionable due to left ankle soreness. Leonard has been dominant since early February, averaging 28.4 points, 7.1 rebounds, 4.3 assists, and 1.7 steals while handling a 34.5 usage rate. He posted 31 […]

Jalen Suggs Misses Second Straight Game

Orlando Magic guard Jalen Suggs (back) is out for Sunday's game against the Clippers, marking his second straight absence due to back spasms. With Suggs sidelined, Desmond Bane should continue to anchor the offense after erupting for 34 points with five three-pointers, four rebounds, three assists, two steals, and one block in 40 minutes last […]

Patrick Williams Available Against Knicks

Chicago Bulls forward Patrick Williams (hand) is available for Sunday's game against the Knicks after being listed with a left-hand injury. Williams has averaged 7.8 points, 3.0 rebounds, 2.2 assists, and 1.2 steals in 23.2 minutes over his last five outings, but his usage remains modest in a crowded rotation. He logged six points, one […]

Deni Avdija Good to Go Against Suns

Portland Trail Blazers guard/forward Deni Avdija (back) is available for Sunday's game in Phoenix and is expected to handle his usual workload. The 25-year-old has been Portland's primary engine this season, averaging 25.0 points, 7.2 rebounds, 6.8 assists, and 2.2 3-pointers while carrying a 29.6 usage rate. He logged 15 points, 13 assists, and eight […]

Josh Giddey, Tre Jones Facing Minute Caps Sunday

Chicago Bulls guards Josh Giddey and Tre Jones will be on minute restrictions for Sunday's game against the Knicks. Giddey recently returned from an eight-game absence and posted 27 points, six rebounds, and three assists with five 3-pointers in 27 minutes in the last loss to Detroit. Jones added seven points and six assists in […]

Nick Richards Active Sunday Against Knicks

Chicago Bulls center Nick Richards (foot) will play Sunday against the Knicks. Richards remains the primary backup to Jalen Smith, who continues to operate under a minutes restriction, keeping the door open for a steady second-unit run. Through five appearances with Chicago, Richards has averaged 8.6 points, 5.4 rebounds, and 1.4 blocks in 19.0 minutes. […]

Jalen Green Active, Grayson Allen Sidelined Sunday

Phoenix Suns guard Jalen Green (hamstring) is available, while guard/forward Grayson Allen (ankle) is out for Sunday's game against Portland. Green logged 37 minutes in his last appearance, finishing with 16 points, seven rebounds, five assists, three steals, and two 3-pointers, and he should again anchor the offense with Devin Booker (hip), Dillon Brooks (hand), […]

Keyonte George Faces Game-Time Decision Monday

Utah Jazz guard Keyonte George (ankle) is questionable for Monday's game in Houston after missing seven of the last eight contests. The second-year guard averages 30.0 minutes with a team-high 29.2 usage rate, so his potential return would reshape the backcourt rotation. Isaiah Collier capitalized in the last outing with 24 points, five rebounds, four […]

Naz Reid Out, Joan Beringer to Start Vs. 76ers

Minnesota Timberwolves forward/center Naz Reid (shoulder) is out for Sunday's game against Philadelphia, marking his first absence of the season. With Rudy Gobert also sidelined due to suspension, Joan Beringer is set to start at center, creating short-term streaming appeal in deeper formats. Beringer logged four minutes with two points and two blocks in his […]

Lauri Markkanen Probable to Return Monday

Utah Jazz forward Lauri Markkanen (illness) is probable for Monday's game against Houston after sitting out the previous two contests. In his last five appearances, the seven-footer has averaged 21.6 points, 6.0 rebounds, and 1.6 assists in 24.6 minutes, maintaining a steady scoring role when active. His return would likely trim minutes for Cody Williams, […]

Jusuf Nurkic Out Monday Against Rockets

Utah Jazz center Jusuf Nurkic (nose) will miss Monday's game against Houston, extending his absence to three straight contests. The veteran big has averaged 11.0 points, 7.0 rebounds, and 2.0 assists in 26.0 minutes this season, but his continued absence keeps the frontcourt condensed for fantasy managers. Kyle Filipowski started in the last outing and […]

Jamal Murray Good to Go on Sunday

Denver Nuggets guard Jamal Murray (hamstring) is available for Sunday's meeting with the Warriors. The 28-year-old is having the best season of his career, averaging 25.6 points and 7.6 assists. He's also stayed relatively healthy, appearing in Denver's previous 11 contests. With that said, Murray has played well against Golden State during the campaign (two […]

Anfernee Simons Won't Face the Knicks

Chicago Bulls guard Anfernee Simons (wrist) won't play on Sunday against the Knicks. Simons had four points and two rebounds in Saturday's loss to the Detroit Pistons. Unfortunately, he lasted only 13 minutes before exiting due to a sprained left wrist. With Jaden Ivey (knee) also ruled out, Collin Sexton should see more action. The […]

Mitchell Robinson Sitting on Sunday

New York Knicks center Mitchell Robinson (ankle) won't play on Sunday in Chicago. He logged six points and four rebounds in Saturday's two-point win over the Houston Rockets. However, as has been the norm, Robinson won't suit up for the second game of the back-to-back. Ariel Hukporti should see more action, with the 23-year-old amassing […]

Myles Turner Back on Sunday

Milwaukee Bucks center Myles Turner (calf) will return for Sunday's meeting with Toronto after missing the last two contests. Jericho Sims has been rolling with the starters of late, most recently amassing four points, six rebounds, and two blocks in 19 minutes in the recent win over the New Orleans Pelicans. As far as Turner […]

Kristaps Porzingis Ruled Out on Sunday

Golden State Warriors center Kristaps Porzingis (illness) won't play on Sunday versus Denver. He was listed as probable on the injury report for left Achilles injury management. However, the veteran woke up early on Sunday and was feeling "pretty sick." Porzingis has appeared in only one game for the Dubs since being acquired ahead of […]

Today's NBA Picks: Top Player Props, Odds & Best Bets (Sunday 2/22/26)

We rarely get such a loaded Sunday slate of NBA action, but now that the NFL is no longer in the mix, the league will look to feature some of its best matchups on Sunday for national TV broadcasts. We have 11 games today and two really good games featured as the red-hot Cleveland Cavaliers […]

Anfernee Simons Exits Early In Loss To Detroit

Chicago Bulls guard Anfernee Simons (wrist) will not return to Saturday's game against Detroit after injuring his left wrist in the second quarter. He finished with 4 points on 2-of-6 shooting and two rebounds in 13 minutes off the bench, and his availability for Sunday against New York is now in question. If Simons sits, […]

Kristaps Porzingis On Track To Play Sunday

Golden State Warriors forward/center Kristaps Porzingis (Achilles) is listed as probable for Sunday's game against Denver and is expected to come off the bench again with increased minutes. The 30-year-old made his team debut Thursday, finishing with 12 points on 5-of-9 shooting, two threes, one rebound, one assist, and one block in 17 minutes. If […]

Shaedon Sharpe Remains Unavailable Sunday

Portland Trail Blazers guard/forward Shaedon Sharpe (calf) remains out for Sunday's game against Phoenix, marking his sixth consecutive absence as the team continues to err on the side of caution. The backcourt minutes are still up in the air. Vit Krejci scored 11 points with two threes in 17 minutes last game, Matisse Thybulle added […]

John Collins to Miss Orlando Game

Los Angeles Clippers forward/center John Collins (head) has been ruled out for Sunday's game against Orlando after sustaining a head laceration and neck soreness in Friday's loss to the Lakers. His next chance to suit up comes Thursday. In his absence, Bennedict Mathurin should continue handling elevated usage after posting 26 points and seven rebounds […]

Aaron Nesmith to Miss Second Straight Game

Indiana Pacers guard/forward Aaron Nesmith (ankle) has been ruled out for Sunday's game against Dallas as he continues to recover from a right ankle sprain. This will be his second straight absence, leaving wing minutes available but without a clear fantasy winner. Ben Sheppard logged 20 minutes in the last game and finished with eight […]

Ivica Zubac Remains Sidelined Sunday

Indiana Pacers center Ivica Zubac (ankle) is out for Sunday's game against Dallas as he continues to recover from a sprained ankle. With the Pacers managing multiple rotation injuries, there is little incentive to rush him back. Jay Huff should remain in the starting lineup after erupting for 22 points with five threes in 16 […]

Fantasy Basketball Waiver Wire Pickups and Streamers for Week 18: 2/23-3/1

We turn the calendar over to March by the end of Week 18, and the fantasy playoffs start in some leagues. There's a pretty good case for moving the playoff weeks up next year with how bad the tanking situation has gotten this year, but that's probably a conversation for another day! For other managers […]

Rudy Gobert Suspended One Game Sunday

Minnesota Timberwolves center Rudy Gobert will miss Sunday's game against Philadelphia after the league handed him a one-game ban for exceeding the regular-season flagrant foul threshold following Friday's win over Dallas. The 33-year-old averages 32 minutes with a 13.4 percent usage rate, so the fantasy swing comes from his absence, not volume. Naz Reid is […]

Devin Booker to Miss at Least One Week

Phoenix Suns guard Devin Booker (hip) will be sidelined for at least one week as a result of the right hip strain he suffered in Thursday's loss to the San Antonio Spurs. The 29-year-old has struggled to stay healthy of late, most recently missing seven contests because of a sprained right ankle. Unfortunately, the latest […]

Dillon Brooks Suffers a Broken Hand

According to ESPN's Shams Charania, Phoenix Suns forward Dillon Brooks sustained a broken left hand in Saturday's double-overtime win over the Magic. He is projected to be out "for an extended period of time," although he will meet with physicians on Sunday to "determine an exact timetable." The 30-year-old has played exceptionally well this season, […]

Walter Clayton Jr. is Ready to Go for Saturday

Memphis Grizzlies guard Walter Clayton Jr. (calf) has been upgraded to available ahead of Saturday's game against the Miami Heat. Clayton is ready to go after missing the last three games due to a right calf contusion. It's unclear what kind of role he'll have in the rotation with Ty Jerome and Scotty Pippen Jr. […]
