Andrew Nembhard Available Versus Ailing Suns

Indiana Pacers guard Andrew Nembhard (illness) will play on Saturday against Phoenix. The 23-year-old was listed as questionable because of an illness, but he'll tough it out and suit up. With Tyrese Haliburton (knee, elbow) sidelined, Nembhard has seen a slight uptick in production of late. However, it isn't enough to classify him as a […]

James Harden Won't Play Against Sacramento

Philadelphia 76ers guard James Harden (foot) won't play on Saturday versus Sacramento. The 33-year-old will get the night off to rest the right foot injury that held him out for nearly a month. Without Harden on the floor, De'Anthony Melton may take his spot in the lineup. Melton has started 33 times throughout the 2022-23 […]

Cameron Johnson Resting Against Indiana

Phoenix Suns forward Cameron Johnson (knee) won't play on Saturday against the Pacers. The 26-year-old returned from a lengthy layoff on Thursday versus the Brooklyn Nets, scoring 19 points in 21 minutes of work. However, he will get a night off to rest before presumably returning for Sunday's meeting with the visiting Grizzlies. Nevertheless, without […]

Deandre Ayton Out On Saturday Night

Phoenix Suns center Deandre Ayton (illness) won't play on Saturday night against the Indiana Pacers. The 24-year-old is under the weather, meaning Bismack Biyombo will take his place in the lineup. Biyombo has averaged 6.8 points, 5.2 rebounds, and 2.2 blocks in six starts this season. However, he probably won't see much more than 20 […]

Donovan Mitchell To Remain Out On Saturday

Cleveland Cavaliers guard Donovan Mitchell (groin) has been ruled out for Saturday's game against the Milwaukee Bucks. This will be the third game in a row that Mitchell has missed due to a strained left groin. This isn't too shocking considering this type of injury is easy to re-injure. The Cavs want to make sure […]

Giannis Antetokounmpo Downgraded To Out

Milwaukee Bucks forward Giannis Antetokounmpo (knee) has been downgraded to out for Saturday's game against the Cleveland Cavaliers. The superstar forward will miss his fifth straight game due to left knee soreness. His absence will mean that Bobby Portis will continue to start for Milwaukee.

Marcus Smart Won't Return On Saturday

Boston Celtics guard Marcus Smart (ankle) has been ruled out for the rest of Saturday's game against the Toronto Raptors. He suffered a hand injury during a dribble handoff in the second quarter.

Joel Embiid Could Miss Saturday's Game

Philadelphia 76ers center Joel Embiid (foot) is listed as questionable for Saturday's game against the Sacramento Kings. The superstar big man was a late addition to the injury report, which is concerning. It sounds like the Sixers are debating on sitting Embiid and letting him rest with the team not playing again until Wednesday. His […]

LaMelo Ball Won't Suit Up On Saturday

Charlotte Hornets guard LaMelo Ball (ankle, wrist) has been ruled out for Saturday's game against the Atlanta Hawks. This was expected considering Ball was listed as doubtful heading into this game. His absence means that Dennis Smith Jr. should move into the starting five. Also, Gordon Hayward (hamstring) has been cleared to play, so he'll […]

Gordon Hayward Cleared For Saturday's Game

Charlotte Hornets forward Gordon Hayward (hamstring) has been cleared to play in Saturday's game against the Atlanta Hawks. The veteran forward is back in the rotation after missing the last eight games. His return will be good timing for the Hornets with LaMelo Ball (ankle, wrist) sidelined. The Hornets aren't going to have Hayward on […]

Brooklyn Nets point guard Kyrie Irving piled up a season-high 48 points on 18-for-29 shooting in Friday's 117-106 victory over Utah.

Jamal Murray Records His First Triple-Double

Denver Nuggets point guard Jamal Murray became the team's new triple-double hero Friday against Indiana, finishing a 134-111 win with 17 points, 10 rebounds and 14 assists. Nikola Jokic (hamstring), who leads the league with 14 triple-doubles, missed the game, giving more playmaking duties to Murray, and the 25-year-old had an outstanding performance with his […]

Kawhi Leonard Enjoys Trip Back To San Antonio

Los Angeles Clippers forward Kawhi Leonard looked superb Friday in his return to San Antonio, putting up a season-high 36 points in a 131-126 win with four rebounds, seven assists and two steals.

Jordan Poole Leads Warriors To Victory Friday

Golden State Warriors guard Jordan Poole reached the 30-point mark for the ninth time this season as the team beat Cleveland 120-114 on Friday.

Giannis Antetokounmpo Questionable Against the Cavs

Milwaukee Bucks forward Giannis Antetokounmpo (knee) is questionable for Saturday's matchup against the Cleveland Cavaliers. He's missed the last four games, allowing Bobby Portis to enter the starting lineup. Portis has played well this season as a starter or off the bench, so he'll continue to be a viable fantasy option if Antetokounmpo plays. However, […]

Gordon Hayward Expected To Play Against Atlanta

Charlotte Hornets forward Gordon Hayward (hamstring) is expected to suit up for Saturday's meeting in Atlanta. The veteran missed the last eight games with hamstring soreness, so he may not log his usual workload. However, with LaMelo Ball (ankle) likely out for this one, Hayward could see a substantial bump in fantasy production.

LaMelo Ball Doubtful Against The Hawks

Charlotte Hornets guard LaMelo Ball (ankle) is doubtful ahead of Saturday's game against the Hawks. The 21-year-old injured his left ankle during Wednesday's showdown with the Houston Rockets, requiring assistance to the locker room. Ball has already missed 24 games this season for the same ailment, so he may be out for an extended period. […]

Jayson Tatum Won't Play On Saturday

Boston Celtics forward Jayson Tatum (wrist) is out for Saturday's meeting against the Raptors. Tatum had a big game during the overtime win over Golden State on Thursday, finishing with 34 points and 19 rebounds. He also played 48 minutes, so his absence is likely for a much-needed night off. Fantasy managers may see Tatum […]

Bogdan Bogdanovic To Play On Friday

Atlanta Hawks guard Bogdan Bogdanovic (knee) is available for Friday's game against the New York Knicks. The veteran guard will suit up here despite dealing with knee issues recently.

Domantas Sabonis Returning On Friday

Sacramento Kings center Domantas Sabonis (illness) is available for Friday's game against the Oklahoma City Thunder. The big man is good to go after sitting out Wednesday's contest due to a non-COVID related illness. It appears Sabonis is feeling better now and should have his normal workload on Friday. He has been a top-20 fantasy […]

Franz Wagner Will Play On Friday

Orlando Magic forward Franz Wagner (ankle) is available for Friday's game against the New Orleans Pelicans. The young forward was able to get through his pre-game routine without any issues. That being said, Wagner will suit up and should see his normal workload during Friday's game. The second-year forward has been the best player on […]

Donovan Mitchell Listed As Out For Friday

Cleveland Cavaliers guard Donovan Mitchell (groin) has been ruled out for Friday's game against the Golden State Warriors. The star guard will miss his second game in a row due to a strained left groin. His absence will mean that Caris LeVert will remain in the starting five for at least one more game. He […]

Trae Young Available For Friday

Atlanta Hawks guard Trae Young (ankle) is available for Friday's game against the New York Knicks. The superstar guard has been cleared to play despite dealing with a sprained left ankle. Young has been on fire lately, providing top-15 fantasy value over the last two weeks. It doesn't sound like Young should be limited at […]

Herbert Jones Returns On Friday

New Orleans Pelicans guard Herbert Jones (back) is returning to the starting five on Friday. The 24-year-old will make his return here against the Orlando Magic after missing each of the last four games due to a back issue.

Tim Hardaway Jr. Available On Friday

Dallas Mavericks guard Tim Hardaway Jr. (ankle) is available for Friday's game against the Miami Heat. The veteran guard has been cleared to play after missing Wednesday's contest due to a sprained left ankle. The expectation is that Hardaway will slide into the starting five on Friday. There should be more action than normal available […]

Kevin Porter Jr., Jabari Smith Jr. Both Ruled Out For Saturday

Houston Rockets guard and forward Kevin Porter Jr. (foot) and Jabari Smith Jr. (ankle) have both been ruled out for Saturday's game against the Minnesota Timberwolves.

Andrew Wiggins, Draymond Green, Klay Thompson Resting

Golden State Warriors starters Andrew Wiggins, Draymond Green, and Klay Thompson will all be receiving a rest day on Friday during the second half of their back-to-back against the Cleveland Cavaliers.
