Gordon Hayward Doubtful Against Boston

Charlotte Hornets forward Gordon Hayward (hamstring) is doubtful for Saturday's contest versus the visiting Celtics. The veteran has missed his last five games with hamstring soreness, so it appears he won't be on the floor against his former team. Nonetheless, if Hayward is officially ruled out, Jalen McDaniels will remain in the starting lineup. However, […]

Malcolm Brogdon May Not Play Against Charlotte

Boston Celtics guard Malcolm Brogdon (personal) is questionable for Saturday's meeting with Charlotte. The 30-year-old has averaged 13.6 points, 4.2 rebounds, and 3.8 assists while shooting a career-high 44.3% from deep this season. However, with Jaylen Brown (adductor) out for this one, Brogdon could easily see an uptick in production if he plays. But if […]

Khris Middleton Still Out On Saturday

Milwaukee Bucks forward Khris Middleton (knee) is out again on Saturday against Miami. The 31-year-old has played only seven games this season because of various ailments, so his absence isn't a surprise by any means. Without a timetable for Middleton's return from knee soreness, Pat Connaughton, who's averaged 8.8 points and 4.9 assists in 10 […]

Giannis Antetokounmpo Questionable Versus Miami

Milwaukee Bucks forward Giannis Antetokounmpo (knee) is questionable ahead of Saturday's meeting with Miami. The multi-time MVP didn't play on Thursday for the first of consecutive games against the Heat because of left knee soreness. However, he's no stranger to this issue, so there's a good chance he'll be out there. That said, if Antetokounmpo […]

Caleb Martin Expected To Play On Saturday

Miami Heat forward Caleb Martin (quadriceps) is listed as probable ahead of Saturday's rematch with Milwaukee. The 27-year-old has missed his previous four games with a left quad contusion, allowing Haywood Highsmith to enter the starting lineup. However, Haysmith will likely head back to the bench once Martin officially receives the green light, lowering his […]

Kyle Lowry Out Again On Saturday

Miami Heat guard Kyle Lowry (knee) remains out for Saturday's matinee against Milwaukee. The veteran has been bothered by left knee discomfort, costing him his previous two games. As a result, Gabe Vincent, who had a game-high 28 points in the first of consecutive outings with the Bucks on Thursday night, should remain with the […]

Tyler Herro Still Dealing With Sore Achilles

Miami Heat guard Tyler Herro (Achilles) is questionable for Saturday's rematch with Milwaukee. Miami limped into Thursday's matchup against the Bucks, with the Heat earning a win without Herro and Kyle Lowry (knee), among others. As a result, Gabe Vincent finished with a team-high 28 points, while Victor Oladipo nearly amassed a triple-double. If Herro […]

Kevin Huerter Remains Out On Friday

Sacramento Kings guard/forward Kevin Huerter (conditioning) has been ruled out for Friday's contest against the Rockets. He's had a bout with a non-COVID illness and has to do some more work on his conditioning before he is ready to play again. Huerter was also sidelined for Wednesday's clash with Houston. The 24-year-old has found himself […]

Kevin Porter Jr. Misses Friday's Game

Houston Rockets point guard Kevin Porter Jr. (foot) will miss his second game of the season Friday versus Sacramento. He hurt his left foot in a collision with teammate Jae'Sean Tate Wednesday when these two teams also met. Porter Jr. exited after logging only 10 minutes and his absence gave more playmaking duties to Jalen […]

Mike Conley Rested On Friday

Utah Jazz point guard Mike Conley will be rested for Friday's clash with Orlando. It's the first leg of a back-to-back for the team and Utah is keeping the veteran floor general fresh for Saturday's matchup against Philadelphia. Conley has had an up-and-down ride in Utah this season but is averaging a career-high 7.5 assists, […]

Collin Sexton Returns With A Minutes Limit

Utah Jazz guard Collin Sexton (hamstring) will make a return to the lineup Friday versus Orlando but will have a minutes restriction. He has missed the past five games with a right hamstring injury. Sexton's debut campaign in Salt Lake City hasn't gone too well, with him stuck in a reserve role and averaging only […]

Kyle Anderson Back On Friday

Minnesota Timberwolves forward Kyle Anderson (illness) is in the starting lineup against Phoenix on Friday, returning from a one-game absence. He was taken out by an illness earlier in the week but Anderson has made a quick recovery. Anderson has kicked off 2023 in great form, averaging 10.8 points, 4.8 rebounds and 6.3 assists with […]

Anthony Edwards Good To Go Friday

Minnesota Timberwolves guard/forward Anthony Edwards (hip) is available and will start Friday's matchup against the Suns. He has been nursing a left hip problem lately, which has limited him in a pair of games already, but Edwards apparently has no intention of sitting out any contests because of the ailment. He has so far featured […]

Deandre Ayton Back For Friday's Game

Phoenix Suns center Deandre Ayton (ankle) will be back from a two-game absence Friday against Minnesota. His return will push Bismack Biyombo back to the bench, and the former No. 1 pick should have a large role to play in the game, with Phoenix still missing multiple key contributors, including Devin Booker (groin) and Chris […]

DeMar DeRozan Remains Out On Friday

Chicago Bulls forward DeMar DeRozan (quadriceps) will sit out a second consecutive game Friday versus the Thunder. The veteran star had admitted that he played through a right quadriceps problem for a bit, but he is now taking time off and it's currently unclear when DeRozan can make it make on the court. He was […]

Isaiah Stewart, Jalen Duren Out Against Pelicans

Detroit Pistons centers Jalen Duren (ankle) and Isaiah Stewart (shoulder) won't play in Friday's game against the Pelicans. Marvin Bagley III (hand) also remains out, so the team is shorthanded underneath the basket. As a result, Nerlens Noel should continue to start, with the 28-year-old averaging 5.0 rebounds, 3.5 points, and 3.5 blocks in two […]

Herbert Jones Sidelined On Friday

New Orleans Pelicans forward Herbert Jones (back) won't suit up against Detroit. Jones will now miss his second consecutive contest because of a back contusion, meaning Dyson Daniels should remain in the starting lineup. The 19-year-old has averaged only 5.7 points and 3.3 rebounds in six starts this season. However, with Brandon Ingram (toe) and […]

Brandon Ingram Remains Out Against Detroit

New Orleans Pelicans guard/forward Brandon Ingram (toe) remains out against Detroit. It appears he's nearing a return after missing over a month of action. However, he won't be available on Friday night, making CJ McCollum the favorite to lead the way offensively. Zion Williamson (hamstring) also won't suit up, so guys like Naji Marshall, Dyson […]

Clint Capela Remains Without Return Date

Atlanta Hawks center Clint Capela (calf) remains without a definitive return date, according to Lauren Williams of the Atlanta Journal-Constitution. The big man has missed nine games because of a calf strain, although it should be worth noting his condition continues to improve. In the meantime, Onyeka Okongwu is expected to continue to replace Capela […]

Daniel Gafford Good To Go Against New York

Washington Wizards center Daniel Gafford (ankle) will play on Friday night against the Knicks. The 24-year-old didn't suit up on Wednesday versus the Chicago Bulls, opening the door for Taj Gibson to get the start and finish just shy of a low-end double-double. Gafford has averaged only 7.7 points, 4.8 rebounds, and 1.1 blocks this […]

Kristaps Porzingis Will Play On Friday Evening

Washington Wizards forward Kristaps Porzingis (ribs) is available on Friday against the Knicks. The veteran only missed one game because of a rib contusion, so he'll be back in the lineup for this one. While Porzingis is always a must-start fantasy option, he could be even more motivated to produce versus his former team.

Kristaps Porzingis and Daniel Gafford Listed As Questionable

Washington Wizards big men Kristaps Porzingis (ribs) and Daniel Gafford (ankle) both missed the team's last game on Wednesday night and now they're in danger of missing another. On Wednesday against the Chicago Bulls, Taj Gibson received the starting nod while Rui Hachimura and Anthony Gill saw some extra playing time off of the bench. […]

Herbert Jones Receives Questionable Tag On Friday

New Orleans Pelicans forward Herbert Jones (back) has been given the questionable tag for Friday's game against the Detroit Pistons. Since leaving Monday's contest with a back injury, he hasn't been able to take the court again. During that time, he's only missed one game so far but is in danger of missing his second. […]

Isaiah Stewart Uncertain To Suit Up On Friday

Detroit Pistons center Isaiah Stewart (shoulder) has been listed as questionable for the team's Friday night contest against the New Orleans Pelicans. He's already missed the last games and could miss his third in a row. If he needs to miss more time, Nerlens Noel would likely stay in the starting five since Jalen Duren […]

Myles Turner Questionable With Back Spasms On Friday

Indiana Pacers center Myles Turner (back) has been tagged as questionable against the Atlanta Hawks on Friday with back spasms. The 26-year-old was unable to suit up for the team's last contest on Wednesday for the same reason. If he has to miss a second game, Jalen Smith will see an increase in usage with […]

Nikola Jokic Won't Suit Up On Friday Versus Clippers

Denver Nuggets center Nikola Jokic (wrist) has been officially ruled out on Friday due to a right wrist issue. The injury doesn't seem to be serious as it's listed as injury management, so it sounds like more of a rest day. Either way, the Nuggets will have to fill his minutes with some sort of […]

Tyrese Haliburton Will Miss At Least Two Weeks

Indiana Pacers guard Tyrese Haliburton (knee, elbow) will be re-evaluated in the next two weeks after being diagnosed with a left elbow sprain and mild left knee contusion. The 22-year-old was in the middle of his best season yet and has consistently been in the top 10 for category formats this year. He likely won't […]

Clint Capela Will Remain Sidelined On Friday

Atlanta Hawks center Clint Capela (calf) will miss his ninth consecutive game due to the same calf strain. Throughout this time that he's been absent, Onyeka Okongwu has filled in and has averaged 10.9 points, 9.1 rebounds, 1.4 assists, 1.0 steals, and 2.0 blocks per game. There still isn't a timetable for Capela's return so […]

Pascal Siakam Leads Raptors In Scoring On Thursday

Toronto Raptors forward Pascal Siakam led all scorers as the team grabbed a 10-point win over the Charlotte Hornets on Thursday night. The seventh-year forward out of New Mexico State put up 35 points, seven rebounds, three assists, and one block on a crazy efficient 11-for-13 shooting and 10-for-12 shooting from the charity stripe. Siakam […]

LaMelo Ball Drops 32 Points On The Raptors

Charlotte Hornets guard LaMelo Ball had a solid offensive game despite the 10-point loss to the Toronto Raptors on Thursday. The 21-year-old posted 32 points, four rebounds, seven assists, and two steals on 11-for-19 shooting from the floor and 4-for-10 from deep. Since returning from his second injury stint, his scoring and playmaking have returned […]
