Chet Holmgren Available Sunday

Oklahoma City Thunder forward/center Chet Holmgren (shin) will be back in the lineup on Sunday against the Miami Heat. He missed Friday's win over the Memphis Grizzlies due to shin pain. With Isaiah Hartenstein (calf) out for an eighth consecutive game, Holmgren will be expected to handle much of the heavy lifting in the middle […]

Dennis Schroder Suspended for Three Games for Attempting to Strike Another Player

Sacramento Kings guard Dennis Schroder has been suspended for three games for confronting and attempting to strike another player, ESPN's Shams Charania reports. The German veteran reportedly waited 40 minutes after the Kings' loss to the Los Angeles Lakers on Dec. 28 before approaching an unnamed player and initiating an altercation. Schroder's suspension will start […]

Kristaps Porzingis May Return Sunday

Atlanta Hawks forward/center Kristaps Porzingis (Achilles) is considered questionable for an encounter with the Golden State Warriors on Sunday. The Latvian veteran didn't play in Friday's blowout win over the Denver Nuggets due to left Achilles tendinitis. With Porzingis out, Mouhamed Gueye and Asa Newell saw more action off the bench. However, neither player impressed, […]

Zaccharie Risacher to Miss Second Consecutive Game Sunday

Atlanta Hawks forward Zaccharie Risacher (knee) will remain out on Sunday against the Golden State Warriors, missing a second consecutive game. The French sophomore is sidelined due to inflammation in his left knee. With Risacher out of commission, Vit Krejci received the starting nod on Friday night against the Denver Nuggets. Unfortunately, he couldn't get […]

Kevin Porter Jr. Considered Probable for Sunday

Milwaukee Bucks point guard Kevin Porter Jr. (hip) is listed as probable for Sunday's tilt against the Denver Nuggets. The talented guard is dealing with a hip contusion, but the issue doesn't appear serious enough to knock Porter Jr. out of the lineup. While Porter Jr. has struggled with his three-point shot lately, he has […]

Aaron Gordon Likely to Play Sunday

Denver Nuggets forward/center Aaron Gordon (hamstring) is expected to make his third consecutive appearance on Sunday against the Milwaukee Bucks, as the team has listed him as probable on the injury report. The high-flying veteran is slowly working his way back to 100 percent after a hamstring injury. In his first few games back in […]

Christian Braun Considered Probable for Sunday

Denver Nuggets guard/forward Christian Braun (ankle) is probable for Sunday's tilt against the Milwaukee Bucks. He is expected to make his third consecutive appearance. Braun recently returned from an ankle injury, and he's had a very tough time shaking off the rust. In three outings since his return, Braun has averaged 4.0 points and 3.5 […]

Spencer Jones May Miss Another Game Sunday

Denver Nuggets guard/forward Spencer Jones (ankle, illness) is listed as questionable for Sunday's meeting with the Milwaukee Bucks. He hurt his left ankle this week and is also battling an illness. Due to his health issues, Jones may be absent for a second consecutive game. If Jones doesn't return on Sunday, Hunter Tyson could make […]

Jamal Murray Iffy for Sunday's Action

Denver Nuggets point guard Jamal Murray (ankle, illness) is questionable to suit up on Sunday against the Milwaukee Bucks. An ankle injury and illness have sidelined Murray for two of the last three games. Jalen Pickett has logged a pair of starts in Murray's absence and will presumably remain in the starting lineup if the […]

Josh Hart Tagged as Questionable for Sunday

New York Knicks guard/forward Josh Hart (ankle) is listed as questionable for Sunday's contest against the Portland Trail Blazers. It looks like the veteran has a chance to return from an eight-game absence against his former team. Hart's return to action may end Miles McBride's stint as a starter, though it's possible he will operate […]

Ja Morant Out Sunday

Memphis Grizzlies point guard Ja Morant (calf) will miss a fifth consecutive game on Sunday against the Brooklyn Nets. It's possible we won't see Morant in a Grizzlies uniform again, as the team is reportedly listening to trade offers for him. Cam Spencer and Vince Williams Jr. will handle the playmaking in Morant's absence. Spencer […]

Michael Porter Jr. Resting on Sunday

Brooklyn Nets forward Michael Porter Jr. (rest) won't play on Sunday against the Memphis Grizzlies. Brooklyn will rest its leading scorer for the first leg of a back-to-back. Porter Jr.'s absence opens up a starting spot and a huge amount of offensive touches. Cam Thomas, Egor Demin, and Noah Clowney could all handle heavier offensive […]

RJ Barrett Unavailable Sunday

Toronto Raptors guard/forward RJ Barrett (ankle) won't play on Sunday against the Philadelphia 76ers. He has been ruled out after injuring his left ankle in Friday's loss to the Boston Celtics. It's unfortunate to see Barrett back on the shelf, as he only recently returned from a knee injury. Scottie Barnes (knee) and Brandon Ingram […]

Brandon Ingram Could Remain Out Sunday

Toronto Raptors guard/forward Brandon Ingram (thumb) is considered questionable for Sunday's matchup against the Philadelphia 76ers. He hurt his right thumb earlier this week and missed his first game of the season on Friday against the Boston Celtics. Another absence is now looming for Ingram. Ja'Kobe Walter started in Ingram's place on Friday night and […]

Scottie Barnes Uncertain for Sunday

Toronto Raptors guard/forward Scottie Barnes (knee) is listed as questionable for a meeting with the Philadelphia 76ers on Sunday. He could be out for a second consecutive game due to a right knee sprain. RJ Barrett (ankle) has already been ruled out, and the Raptors may also be without Brandon Ingram (thumb). Immanuel Quickley, who […]

Joel Embiid Questionable to Play Sunday

Philadelphia 76ers center Joel Embiid (knee) is considered questionable for Sunday's matchup against the Toronto Raptors. The former MVP remains on the injury report as he continues to manage a left knee injury. While Embiid has played in six consecutive games, a rest day appears to be guaranteed for him soon, as Philadelphia will face […]

Tidjane Salaun Available Versus Jazz

Charlotte Hornets forward Tidjane Salaun (ankle) will be active on Saturday night against the Utah Jazz. The 20-year-old is dealing with a left ankle sprain, but the team has upgraded his status from probable to available. Working as a reserve, Salaun has averaged 5.0 points and 4.5 rebounds in 17.3 minutes per game early in […]

Grant Williams Ready for Season Debut

Charlotte Hornets forward Grant Williams (knee) will be active on Saturday night against the Utah Jazz. He's in line for his season debut after recovering from an ACL tear. Williams hasn't played since November 2024. It will be good to see him back on the court, but the 27-year-old is likely to have a strict […]

Shai Gilgeous-Alexander off the Injury Report for Sunday

Oklahoma City Thunder guard Shai Gilgeous-Alexander (ankle) isn't listed on the injury report ahead of Sunday's game against the Heat. SGA didn't suit up on Friday in the win over the Memphis Grizzlies after dropping 46 points on the Utah Jazz. However, since that one went into overtime, Gilgeous-Alexander got a much-needed night off. With […]

Kevin Huerter Active on Saturday Night

Chicago Bulls guard/forward Kevin Huerter (back) will play in Saturday's contest against the Dallas Mavericks. The team has upgraded Huerter from questionable to available. Huerter has been a starter in back-to-back games for the Bulls, though his fantasy production has been underwhelming. Due to Jalen Smith's (concussion) return on Saturday, Huerter may drop to the […]

Jalen Smith Back for Bulls Saturday

Chicago Bulls forward/center Jalen Smith (concussion) will return to action on Saturday against the Dallas Mavericks. The 25-year-old has missed a pair of games after suffering a head injury and landing in concussion protocol. Before he was knocked out of the lineup, Smith made three consecutive starts, averaging 11.3 points, 9.7 rebounds, and 2.0 blocks. […]

Alperen Sengun Questionable on Sunday

Houston Rockets forward/center Alperen Sengun (ankle) is questionable for Sunday's game in Sacramento. This is a surprising development, considering he was expected to miss at least two weeks before being re-evaluated. While there's still a realistic chance the 23-year-old won't be out there, it at least appears he's well ahead of schedule. If Sengun remains […]

Zach Collins Without Timetable for Return

Chicago Bulls forward/center Zach Collins (toe) doesn't have a timeline for his return, Joe Lorenzi of The Athletic reports. Bulls head coach Billy Donovan told reporters before Saturday's contest against the Dallas Mavericks that Collins' toe injury is a "pretty significant sprain," and that he will be in a walking boot for the foreseeable future. […]

Julian Champagnie Will Play Saturday

San Antonio Spurs guard/forward Julian Champagnie (back) has received the green light to play on Saturday night against the Boston Celtics, Matt Guzman of Sports Illustrated reports. He was initially listed as questionable for the game. Champagnie has quietly had a solid campaign with the Spurs, averaging 11.1 points and 5.9 rebounds, both career highs. […]

Sam Hauser Out Saturday

Boston Celtics forward Sam Hauser (hamstring) has been ruled out for Saturday's matchup against the San Antonio Spurs. The 28-year-old sniper wasn't on the initial injury report, but the team has announced that Hauser won't play due to right hamstring tightness. Hauser has logged 30-plus minutes in back-to-back games as a starter, so his absence […]

Jaime Jaquez Jr. Good to Go Saturday

Miami Heat guard/forward Jaime Jaquez Jr. (illness) will be active on Saturday against the Indiana Pacers. He landed on the injury report late with a questionable tag after picking up a stomach bug. However, Jaquez Jr. has now been cleared for action. The 24-year-old has also recently dealt with an ankle injury, missing two games. […]

Isaiah Stewart Out Saturday

Detroit Pistons forward/center Isaiah Stewart (illness) won't be in the lineup on Saturday against the Los Angeles Clippers, Hunter Patterson of The Athletic reports. Stewart was a late addition to the injury report due to illness and hasn't been able to shake off a questionable tag. With Jalen Duren (ankle) and Tobias Harris (hip) also […]

Kawhi Leonard Will Suit Up Against Detroit

Los Angeles Clippers forward Kawhi Leonard (ankle) will play on Saturday against Detroit. The team is usually overly-cautious with the multi-time All-Star, so it's surprising to see him suit up for the second game of a back-to-back. He had 26 points, five boards, five assists, three steals, and one block in Friday's win over the […]

Cade Cunningham Unavailable Saturday

Detroit Pistons point guard Cade Cunningham (wrist) will sit out a second straight game on Saturday against the Los Angeles Clippers, Hunter Patterson of The Athletic reports. The team has ruled him out of the contest after initially listing Cunningham as questionable. His absence from the lineup boosts the fantasy value of Jaden Ivey and […]

Andrew Nembhard Available Versus Miami

Indiana Pacers guard Andrew Nembhard (back) is available on Saturday versus Miami. He didn't play on Thursday against the Hornets, opening the door for T.J. McConnell to finish with 23 points, eight boards, and four steals from off the bench. While McConnell will still have a role, his outlook isn't as favorable, so fantasy managers […]
