Khris Middleton Out On Thursday Evening

Milwaukee Bucks forward Khris Middleton (ankles) won't play on Thursday against Miami. He was listed as probable, so his absence likely caught some fantasy managers by surprise. But the Bucks play again on Saturday versus the Clippers in Los Angeles, and there's a good chance he'll return for that one. Fortunately, Giannis Antetokounmpo (knee) is […]

Tyler Herro Back Versus The Bucks

Miami Heat guard Tyler Herro (groin) will play on Thursday versus Milwaukee. The 25-year-old is averaging 24.0 points, 5.7 rebounds, 5.0 assists, and 40.7% shooting from behind the arc, all the highest marks of his career. Even better, he has appeared in 41 games, missing his first game of the 2024-25 campaign on Tuesday against […]

Trae Young Will Suit Up Versus Toronto

Atlanta Hawks guard Trae Young (Achilles) will play on Thursday against the Raptors. Young has been dealing with right Achilles tendinitis for quite some time. However, the 26-year-old has only missed three games during the 2024-25 campaign. He did log 40 minutes in Wednesday's loss to the Detroit Pistons, so there's a chance he could […]

Clint Capela Ruled Out Against The Raptors

Atlanta Hawks center Clint Capela (knee) won't play on Thursday versus Toronto. The veteran has had issues staying healthy over the years. However, he will miss just his first game of the 2024-25 campaign because of a sore knee. Capela recently lost his starting job to Onyeka Okongwu, so his value has dropped for fantasy […]

Jalen Johnson Available On Thursday

Atlanta Hawks forward Jalen Johnson (shoulder) is good to go for Thursday's meeting with the Raptors. The 23-year-old missed time recently because of shoulder inflammation. While the ailment has kept him on the injury report since returning, it won't keep him off the floor against Toronto. With that in mind, Johnson is a must-start versus […]

Goga Bitadze Sidelined Again On Thursday Night

Orlando Magic center Goga Bitadze (concussion protocol) won't play on Thursday against Portland. The 25-year-old will now miss a fifth-straight contest. It's unknown how long he'll be on the shelf.

Cole Anthony Out Again On Thursday

Orlando Magic guard Cole Anthony (illness) won't play on Thursday against Portland. Anthony hasn't felt well, recently keeping him off the floor for Tuesday's loss to the Toronto Raptors.

Deandre Ayton Absent On Thursday Night

Portland Trail Blazers center Deandre Ayton (knee) won't play on Thursday night against Orlando. The 26-year-old has battled multiple issues of late. However, he'll miss Thursday's contest because of left knee soreness. It's unknown how severe the ailment is, so it's tough to tell if he'll be available on Friday against Charlotte. With Donovan Clingan […]

Franz Wagner Will Start And Be Limited To 24 Minutes

Orlando Magic forward Franz Wagner (oblique) is available to return on Thursday when his Magic host the Trail Blazers. He'll be limited to 24 minutes in his return, according to coach Jamahl Mosley.

Ivica Zubac Will Play Thursday Against Washington

Los Angeles Clippers center Ivica Zubac (eye) will return on Thursday night against the Wizards after a two-game absence due to a left eye corneal abrasion.

Dwight Powell Ruled Out Thursday Against The Thunder

Dallas Mavericks center Dwight Powell (hip) will miss a third straight game for the Mavs when they visit the Thunder on Thursday night.
