Marcus Smart Questionable For Saturday

Memphis Grizzlies guard Marcus Smart (illness) is officially listed as questionable for Saturday's matchup with the Chicago Bulls. Smart has missed the last three games while dealing with an illness and previously sat out six consecutive contests earlier this season due to a left ankle injury, limiting his overall court time. If he remains sidelined, […]

Deandre Ayton Remains Out On Friday

Portland Trail Blazers center Deandre Ayton (finger) will miss a fifth consecutive game on Friday versus Houston. He was initially considered doubtful for the clash, meaning Ayton's return in Saturday's rematch between the teams isn't likely either. Donovan Clingan and Robert Williams III will continue to cover the minutes at the five position. Clingan has […]

Yves Missi Will Not Play On Friday

New Orleans Pelicans center Yves Missi (shoulder) will sit out Friday's game against Golden State. He has been ruled out for the contest after carrying a questionable tag on the initial injury report. Jeremiah Robinson-Earl and Trey Jemison are set to benefit from Missi's absence. Robinson-Earl looks like the better fantasy option of the two, […]

Stephen Curry Available Versus Pelicans

Golden State Warriors point guard Stephen Curry (knee) will play on Friday versus New Orleans. He has been upgraded from probable to available ahead of tip-off. Curry has been extremely efficient with his work in 2024-25, posting 23.0 points in 29.2 minutes with 44.1 percent shooting from three-point range. He's had a lighter workload due […]

Scoot Henderson Absent On Friday

Portland Trail Blazers guard Scoot Henderson (quad) has been ruled out ahead of Friday's game against the Houston Rockets. Henderson will take a seat here after suffering a quad injury during Wednesday's contest. The loss of Henderson should open up plenty of minutes for the Blazers reserves. Dalano Banton figures to gain the most fantasy […]

Giannis Antetokounmpo Good To Go Friday

Milwaukee Bucks forward/center Giannis Antetokounmpo (knee) will play on Friday against Indiana. The team has upgraded Antetokounmpo from probable to available. Antetokounmpo has been in the lineup for eight consecutive games, producing several big fantasy lines. He has hit the 40-point plateau three times in his past six outings and capped off last week with […]

Coby White Available On Friday

Chicago Bulls guard Coby White (neck) will suit up ahead of Friday's game against the Atlanta Hawks. As expected, White will play after being listed as probable on the injury report due to neck tightness. The expectation is that White should have his normal workload during this game. He has been a fairly consistent scoring […]

Joel Embiid To Miss Friday's Game

Philadelphia 76ers center Joel Embiid (knee) has been ruled out ahead of Friday's game against the Brooklyn Nets. Embiid was a game-time decision coming into this one as he planned to test out his knee pre-game. It doesn't sound like it went well for Embiid as he'll take a seat on Friday. His absence should […]

Dorian Finney-Smith Will Play Friday

Brooklyn Nets forward Dorian Finney-Smith (ankle) will be available on Friday against Philadelphia. He was listed as questionable on the initial injury report, was then upgraded to probable, and has now received a further upgrade to available. Finney-Smith has put in solid all-around work as a starter this season, and it should continue on Friday. […]

Miles Bridges Out At Least One Week

Charlotte Hornets forward Miles Bridges (knee) will be shut down and re-evaluated in one week. Bridges aggravated his knee injury during Tuesday's contest and was held out on Thursday as a result. The Hornets are going to be without Bridges for the next three games. The expectation is that the team uses a committee approach […]

Nicolas Claxton Back In Action Friday

Brooklyn Nets center Nicolas Claxton (back) will return from a three-game absence on Friday against Philadelphia. The Nets big man has shaken off a lower back problem and a probable tag in the process. Ben Simmons has been Brooklyn's starting center during Claxton's absence and must settle for a lesser role now that he's back. […]

CJ McCollum Remains Unavailable On Friday

New Orleans Pelicans guard CJ McCollum (adductor) will remain out on Friday versus Golden State. He has been downgraded from doubtful to out, missing a 13th consecutive game. Elfrid Payton should receive another start with McCollum on the shelf. He had a solid season debut with 11 points, five rebounds, and eight assists on Wednesday […]

Cade Cunningham Ruled Out For Saturday

Detroit Pistons guard Cade Cunningham (hip) has been ruled out ahead of Saturday's game against the Orlando Magic. Cunningham suffered a joint sprain during Thursday's game against the Charlotte Hornets. As a result, Cunningham will sit out on Saturday, but hopefully it'll only be a one-game absence. It'll be interesting to see what the Pistons […]

Joel Embiid Considered A Game-Time Decision

Philadelphia 76ers center Joel Embiid (knee) is currently being considered a game-time decision ahead of Friday's game against the Brooklyn Nets. Embiid is currently dealing with a knee injury and is going to test it out pre-game before making a final decision. He didn't participate in shootaround on Friday after re-aggravating his knee during Wednesday's […]

Jerami Grant Tagged As Questionable For Friday

Portland Trail Blazers forward Jerami Grant (illness) is listed as questionable ahead of Friday's game against the Houston Rockets. Grant was a late addition to the injury report due to an illness. The Blazers are likely going to wait until closer to tip-off before making a final decision on his status. If he sits, Deni […]

Al Horford Unavailable On Friday

Boston Celtics center Al Horford (illness) has been ruled out ahead of Friday's game against the Washington Wizards. The veteran big man was a late addition to the injury report due to an illness. It doesn't sound like a serious issue and should only be a one-game absence. The absence of Horford should mean more […]

Coby White Listed As Probable On Friday

Chicago Bulls guard Coby White (neck) is listed as probable while dealing with cervical tightness in his neck. The guard popped up on the injury report, but it seems to be more of a formality since he's still expected to play. White was able to play 31 minutes against the Bucks in their last game […]

Jordan Hawkins Set To Return On Friday

New Orleans Pelicans guard Jordan Hawkins (back) has been listed as available on Friday. He'll take the floor against the Golden State Warriors for the first time since November 6.

Brandon Ingram Available On Friday

New Orleans Pelicans forward Brandon Ingram (ankle) has been upgraded from questionable to available ahead of their Friday night tip-off against the Golden State Warriors.

Stephen Curry Probable On Friday Against Pelicans

Golden State Warriors guard Stephen Curry (knee) is listed as probable for Friday's NBA Cup game against the New Orleans Pelicans. The superstar shooter is tending to bursitis in his left knee, but it's not bad enough to keep him off of the court it seems. While Curry's scoring hasn't been on the same level […]

Cam Thomas Available Against 76ers

Brooklyn Nets guard Cam Thomas (back) is dealing with lower back tightness, but has been upgraded from probable to available on Friday. He'll take part in the NBA Cup game against the Philadelphia 76ers and help the team make the knockout stages. Thomas is putting up career highs across almost all categories this season while […]

Joel Embiid Added To Injury Report On Friday

Philadelphia 76ers center Joel Embiid (knee) was a late addition to the injury report ahead of their Friday night game against the Brooklyn Nets. The former MVP is listed as questionable due to left knee injury management. Usually, injury management is the reason he misses back-to-back games, but the team hasn't played since Wednesday and […]

Nicolas Claxton Now Listed As Probable Against 76ers

Brooklyn Nets center Nicolas Claxton (back) has been upgraded from questionable to probable for Friday night's NBA Cup game against the Philadelphia 76ers. The 25-year-old has battled a handful of injuries already this year, so returning from his three-game absence is great news. His minutes have fluctuated a lot, and he has only started in […]

Dorian Finney-Smith Upgraded To Probable On Friday

Brooklyn Nets forward Dorian Finney-Smith (ankle) was listed as questionable while he deals with a left ankle sprain, but has since been upgraded to probable ahead of Friday's tip-off. Finney-Smith will continue to start against the struggling Philadelphia 76ers as he's been in the starting five even while fighting ankle issues. So far this season, […]

Wendell Carter Jr. Out Against Lakers

Orlando Magic center Wendell Carter Jr. (foot) will not suit up against the Lakers on Thursday. This marks his 10th consecutive absence as he deals with plantar fasciitis in his left foot. The Magic haven't provided a timetable on when he will return. The 25-year-old has been missed as he has consistently contributed when on the floor, averaging […]

Anthony Davis Available Versus Magic On Thursday

According to ESPN's Dave McMenamin, Los Angeles Lakers center Anthony Davis (foot) is set to play on Thursday against the Orlando Magic. The 31-year-old has been managing a foot injury for some time, so fantasy managers should not anticipate a quick resolution. However, he is expected to continue to suit up in games, barring setbacks. […]

Rui Hachimura Unavailable Thursday

Per Dave McMenamin of ESPN, Los Angeles Lakers forward Rui Hachimura (ankle) will not suit up against the Orlando Magic on Thursday. Hachimura has missed four consecutive contests due to a sprained right ankle. With the 26-year-old out, Dalton Knecht will remain a strong fantasy option as he posted 37 points, five rebounds and one steal in […]

Yves Missi Listed As Questionable For Friday

New Orleans Pelicans center Yves Missi (shoulder) is listed as questionable for Friday's game against the Golden State Warriors. Although Missi was cleared to play in Wednesday's loss to the Cavaliers, he continues to deal with lingering soreness in his left shoulder, which may prevent him from participating in Friday's matchup. In his previous game, […]

CJ McCollum Not Likely To Play Friday

New Orleans Pelicans guard CJ McCollum (adductor) is listed as doubtful for Friday's game against the Golden State Warriors. McCollum has been out since Oct. 29 due to a right adductor strain but has been cleared for practice, indicating he could be nearing a return.

New Orleans Pelicans forward Brandon Ingram (ankles) is listed as questionable for Friday's game against the Golden State Warriors due to bilateral ankle sprains.
