The Mavericks were already down Anthony Davis (calf), Dereck Lively II (foot), and Daniel Gafford (foot), meaning […]

Trae Young "Progressing Well," Will be Re-Evaluated in Two Weeks

According ESPN's Ohm Youngmisuk, Atlanta Hawks guard Trae Young (knee) is "progressing well" in his recovery from a sprained right MCL and will be re-evaluated in two weeks. The 27-year-old appeared in five games before going on the shelf. However, fantasy managers were frustrated by the lack of production, with Young averaging a career-low 17.8 […]

Isaiah Hartenstein Sidelined a Minimum of 10-14 Days

Oklahoma City Thunder center Isaiah Hartenstein (calf) will be sidelined for at least 10-14 days. The 27-year-old, who has averaged 12.2 points, 10.7 rebounds, and 1.3 steals, missed his first game of the season in Friday's NBA Cup win over the Phoenix Suns. He'll now miss even more time due to a right Soleus strain. […]

Daniel Gafford Resting Against Clippers

Dallas Mavericks center Daniel Gafford (ankle) won't suit up on Saturday against the Clippers. Gafford most recently amassed five points, four rebounds, and one steal in Friday's NBA Cup loss to the Lakers. However, in an attempt to preserve his health, he'll sit out the second of back-to-back contests, likely returning on Monday in Denver. […]

Jalen Duren Won't Play Versus Miami

Detroit Pistons center Jalen Duren (leg) has been ruled out ahead of Saturday's game in Miami. The 22-year-old has played well this season, most recently amassing 16 points, 12 rebounds, four blocks, and one steal in Friday's NBA Cup loss to the Orlando Magic. However, availability is once again becoming a concern, with Duren now […]

Anthony Davis Ruled Out on Saturday

Dallas Mavericks forward/center Anthony Davis (calf) won't play in Saturday's matchup with the Los Angeles Clippers. AD returned for Friday's NBA Cup loss to the Lakers after missing a month because of a calf injury.

Neemias Queta Uncertain for Saturday's Game in Minnesota

Boston Celtics center Neemias Queta (ankle) is questionable for Saturday's meeting in Minnesota. The 26-year-old has started in all 17 of his appearances during the 2025 campaign. As a result, he's having the best season of his career, averaging 9.3 points, 7.9 rebounds, and 1.4 blocks, making him a viable starting option in deeper fantasy […]

Derrick White Expected to Suit Up Versus Timberwolves

Boston Celtics guard Derrick White (calf) is in line to play on Saturday in Minnesota. The 31-year-old has played as well as expected throughout the 2025 campaign. However, he hasn't benefited from the absence of Jayson Tatum (Achilles). In fact, he's seen reduced production in several statistical categories. Still, White remains a must-start fantasy option […]

Jaylen Brown Might Miss Saturday's Game

Boston Celtics forward Jaylen Brown (back) is questionable for Saturday's contest in Minnesota. The 29-year-old had 33 points, 10 boards, five assists, two steals, and two blocks in Friday's NBA Cup win over the Detroit Pistons. As expected, Brown has benefited from the absence of Jayson Tatum (Achilles) by averaging a career-high 28.2 points during […]

Anthony Davis Available, Will be on a Minutes Restriction

AD hasn't played in a month after suffering a left calf strain during the win over the Indiana Pacers on October 29. Before going down, he was averaging 20.8 points, 10.2 rebounds, 1.2 blocks, and 1.6 steals. While there […]

Kyshawn George Returns to Lineup After One-Game Absence

Washington Wizards guard/forward Kyshawn George (illness) is back in the starting group after missing one game and remains firmly on the breakout track. He delivered 17 points, 12 rebounds, and seven assists in his last appearance and continues to produce mid-round numbers with 16.5 points, 6.3 rebounds, and 4.9 assists on strong shooting. His return […]

Paul George Set To Start Friday Against Nets

Philadelphia 76ers guard/forward Paul George (ankle) will start Friday against Brooklyn after being upgraded from questionable, giving the team a needed boost with multiple wings still sidelined. George has averaged 13.3 points, 4.7 rebounds, and 3.7 assists across his first three outings in limited minutes, and his return pushes Dominick Barlow, Justin Edwards, and Jabari […]

Kevin Huerter Set to Return Against Charlotte

Chicago Bulls guard/forward Kevin Huerter (pelvis) will be available Friday against Charlotte, though his fantasy outlook remains shaky after logging just 19 and 10 minutes off the bench in his last two appearances. His reduced role aligned with Coby White's return to full availability, which tightened Chicago's guard rotation and pushed Huerter into a smaller […]

Jarrett Allen Back in Action on Friday

Cleveland Cavaliers center Jarrett Allen (finger) will return for Friday's game in Atlanta after missing the last three contests. The 27-year-old has averaged 14.8 points, 1.3 higher than last season.

Coby White Cleared for Action on Friday

Chicago Bulls guard Coby White (calf) is available for Friday's game versus Charlotte. He was listed as questionable heading into this one. While fantasy managers are glad to see him on the floor, there's a chance he won't suit up on Saturday against the Indiana Pacers due to injury management reasons. White is coming off […]

Nikola Vucevic Suiting Up Against Charlotte

Chicago Bulls center Nikola Vucevic (knee) will play on Friday against Charlotte. The veteran didn't suit up for Monday's loss to the New Orleans Pelicans. Fortunately, it appears the lengthy layoff did him some good, limiting his time away to only one game. Vucevic will be returning versus a Hornets defense that has struggled throughout […]

Trey Murphy III Uncertain For Saturday's Matchup

New Orleans Pelicans forward Trey Murphy III (elbow) is uncertain for Saturday's game at Golden State because of right elbow soreness, which could keep him out of the opening game of a back-to-back. The Pelicans are already without Jordan Poole (quadriceps) and Herbert Jones (calf), which pushed Saddiq Bey into a 39-minute workload Wednesday that […]

Giannis Antetokounmpo Returning Versus Knicks

Milwaukee Bucks forward Giannis Antetokounmpo (adductor) will return for Friday's NBA Cup clash with the New York Knicks after missing his last four games. The Greek Freak was playing at an All-Star level before going down. While he could see fewer minutes than normal in his first game back in the lineup, he's still a […]

Jaden Ivey Set To Play Against Orlando

Detroit Pistons guard Jaden Ivey (reconditioning) will be available Friday against Orlando after averaging 14.0 minutes across his first three outings. He contributed seven points, four rebounds, and one steal in his most recent game but remains limited as the team eases him back. His return pushes Daniss Jenkins into a smaller role and slightly […]

Adem Bona Back on Friday Night

Philadelphia 76ers center Adem Bona (ankle) will play on Friday versus Brooklyn after missing the last five games because of a sprained right ankle. The 22-year-old wasn't productive before going down with the injury, averaging only 2.2 points, 3.4 rebounds, and 1.7 blocks. With Joel Embiid (knee) sidelined, he may have had an opportunity for […]

Andrew Nembhard Won't Play Versus Washington

Indiana Pacers guard Andrew Nembhard (quadriceps) won't play on Friday versus the Washington Wizards. He has a quad contusion, so fantasy managers will need to wait and see if he'll be back on Saturday against the Chicago Bulls. Without him, T.J. McConnell, who had 16 points, seven rebounds, and six assists in Wednesday's two-point loss […]

De'Anthony Melton Eyeing Road-Trip Return

Golden State Warriors guard De'Anthony Melton (knee) will miss at least two additional games and is targeting his season debut on the team's upcoming road trip. Melton averaged 10.3 points, 3.3 rebounds, 2.8 assists, and 1.2 steals in 20.2 minutes last year, but he will need to win minutes from Brandin Podziemski once active. Podziemski […]

Kristaps Porzingis Sidelined on Friday Night

Atlanta Hawks center Kristaps Porzingis (illness) won't play on Friday versus the Cavaliers. The veteran has been productive this season, averaging 18.7 points, 5.9 rebounds, and 1.6 assists. However, he'll now miss his ninth game of the 2025 campaign. His next chance to suit up will be on Sunday in Philadelphia, but as far as […]

Jonathan Kuminga Questionable Ahead Of Pelicans Matchup

Golden State Warriors forward Jonathan Kuminga (knee) is questionable for Saturday's game against New Orleans after missing seven straight contests, though he has resumed full 5-on-5 activity and appears close to returning. Kuminga logged several strong lines before the injury, including 25 points with 10 rebounds and 24 points with eight rebounds, and he could […]

Andrew Wiggins On Track To Suit Up Saturday

Miami Heat guard/forward Andrew Wiggins (hip) is probable for Saturday's matchup with Detroit after logging 11 points, two rebounds, three assists, and two blocks in 31 minutes during his return from a three-game absence. The workload suggests he is back in a stable role, though Miami's improving health makes his night-to-night ceiling dependent on efficiency […]

Norman Powell Likely Available Against Detroit

Miami Heat guard/forward Norman Powell (groin) is probable for Saturday's game against Detroit after briefly cooling off once Tyler Herro returned. Powell had been tearing it up before Herro rejoined the lineup, but his most recent outing with 11 points and four rebounds reflected reduced usage in a healthier rotation. He still sits in the […]

Isaiah Hartenstein Won't Play on Friday Night

Oklahoma City Thunder center Isaiah Hartenstein (ankle) won't suit up for Friday's NBA Cup meeting with the Phoenix Suns. The 27-year-old has averaged 12.2 points, 10.7 rebounds, and 1.3 steals this season, so he's been reliable for the defending champs. He's dealing with ankle soreness, and while it doesn't seem like an injury that will […]

Anthony Davis Reportedly Set to Return on Friday Night

According to ESPN's Shams Charania, Dallas Mavericks forward/center Anthony Davis (calf) will play on Friday versus the Los Angeles Lakers.
