Dallas Mavericks guard Luka Doncic had a not-so-great game in regard to his normal performances as the team suffered a blowout loss to the Boston Celtics on Thursday night. The leading MVP candidate posted 23 points on a horrid 30.4% shooting to go along with nine rebounds, three assists, and four turnovers. After a red-hot […]

Jayson Tatum Collects His Second Career Triple-Double

Boston Celtics forward Jayson Tatum led the team with his first triple-double of the season in their 124-95 win over the Dallas Mavericks on Thursday.

Orlando Magic forward Paolo Banchero posted yet another 30-point game in a losing effort against the Memphis Grizzlies on Thursday night.

The 25-year-old had his best shooting night of the season as he finished with 18 points on 7-for-10 shooting from the floor and 4-for-5 from beyond the arc. He also added […]

Donovan Mitchell To Rest On Friday

Cleveland Cavaliers guard Donovan Mitchell (rest) is listed as out for Friday's game against the Denver Nuggets. The star guard has scored 91 points across his last two games. That being said, the organization has decided to give Mitchell a rest day on Friday. Fellow guard Darius Garland (thumb) is listed as questionable, so the […]

Andrew Wiggins Gets Cleared For Practice

Golden State Warriors forward Andrew Wiggins (groin, illness) has been cleared to resume practice on Friday, according to head coach Steve Kerr. This is great news after Wiggins has missed the last 15 games. It sounds like Wiggins could suit up on Saturday, assuming everything goes well during Friday's practice. The expectation is that he'd […]

Austin Reaves Out On Friday

Los Angeles Lakers guard Austin Reaves (hamstring) is listed as out for Friday's game against the Atlanta Hawks. This is not good news for the Lakers who are already without Lonnie Walker IV (tailbone) for the time being. Also, Troy Brown Jr. (quad) is considered questionable after getting injured on Wednesday. He'd be an interesting […]

John Wall Unavailable For Thursday

Los Angeles Clippers guard John Wall (knee) has been ruled out for Thursday's game against the Denver Nuggets. The veteran guard will sit this game out for rest purposes. It's the first game of a back-to-back set, so the Clippers aren't going to push Wall. His absence should open up more minutes for Terance Mann. […]

Paul George Available On Thursday

Los Angeles Clippers guard Paul George (hamstring) is available for Thursday's game against the Denver Nuggets. The All-Star forward has been dealing with a minor hamstring issue, but will suit up here. George has scored at least 20 points in each of his last seven games. That being said, fantasy managers should make sure he's […]

Josh Richardson Questionable For Friday

San Antonio Spurs forward Josh Richardson (quad) is listed as questionable for Friday's game against the Detroit Pistons. Normally, Richardson's status doesn't have a huge impact on the rotation. However, Devin Vassell (knee) is set to undergo surgery and is likely to miss significant time. Richardson has been playing more minutes lately and should have […]

Devin Vassell To Undergo Surgery

San Antonio Spurs forward Devin Vassell (knee) is set to undergo arthroscopic surgery on his left knee on January 11th. The organization has no timetable for his return, so fantasy managers shouldn't expect him back soon. Honestly, the Spurs aren't playing for anything, so they will likely take it extremely slow with Vassell. Romeo Langford […]

Larry Nance Jr. Listed As Questionable For Friday

New Orleans Pelicans forward Larry Nance Jr. (shoulder) is listed as questionable for Friday's game against the Brooklyn Nets. The veteran forward is in danger of missing his fifth straight game due to right shoulder soreness. It's also worth noting that Willy Hernangomez (ankle) is considered questionable for this contest. Both Hernangomez and Jaxson Hayes […]

Jerami Grant Uncertain For Friday

Portland Trail Blazers forward Jerami Grant (quad) is listed as questionable for Friday's game against the Indiana Pacers. He exited briefly during Wednesday's contest, but did end up returning to the game. Despite his return, it sounds like Grant is still dealing with a left quad contusion. Jabari Walker or Shaedon Sharpe would likely be […]

Joel Embiid To Remain Sidelined On Friday

Philadelphia 76ers center Joel Embiid (foot) has been ruled out for Friday's game against the Chicago Bulls. The superstar big man missed Wednesday's game as well due to right foot soreness. The expectation is that Tyrese Maxey will remain in the starting five for Friday. Although, it's worth noting that Montrezl Harrell recorded 19 points […]

Bradley Beal To Miss At Least One Week

Washington Wizards guard Bradley Beal (hamstring) is going to be sidelined for at least one week. The organization plans to re-evaluate Beal after one week because he has been diagnosed with a low-grade left hamstring strain. The 29-year-old has already missed nine games since December 7th. His absence should mean that Corey Kispert moves into […]

Alex Caruso Uncertain For Friday

Chicago Bulls guard Alex Caruso (ankle) is listed as questionable for Friday's game against the Philadelphia 76ers. The 28-year-old seemingly can't stay healthy after missing three games due to a shoulder sprain. Caruso returned on Wednesday before spraining his ankle early in the contest. Coby White ended up playing 28 minutes during that contest. He'd […]

Jae'Sean Tate Ready To Return Thursday

Houston Rockets forward Jae'Sean Tate (ankle) is finally available for the team again Thursday against Utah. He has missed all but three games this season with a right ankle injury. Tate is a guy who does a little bit of everything on the court and has averaged 8.3 points with 4.3 rebounds, 3.3 assists and […]

Brandon Clarke Misses A Third Game

Memphis Grizzlies forward Brandon Clarke (hip) won't be in the lineup for the third straight time Thursday against Orlando. He is working his way back from a sore left hip. Following Thursday, Clarke will get some very good recovery time as Memphis won't be back on the court until Sunday, so he should have a […]

Desmond Bane Rested On Thursday

Memphis Grizzlies guard/forward Desmond Bane (toe) won't play Thursday against the Magic. He has only just returned from injury and the Grizzlies complete a back-to-back, so the team has decided to give Bane a night off. The 24-year-old had a nice 19-point showing with a career-high 11 rebounds and four assists Wednesday versus Charlotte. Bane […]

Paul George Considered Questionable Thursday

Los Angeles Clippers forward Paul George (hamstring) is carrying a questionable tag ahead of Thursday's contest against Denver. He is feeling discomfort in his right hamstring and might have to sit out the game to give it rest. George missed seven games in November with a right hamstring issue, so the team will likely be […]

Bol Bol Remains Out Thursday

Orlando Magic forward/center Bol Bol (health protocols) will miss a second consecutive game Thursday against Memphis. It's currently unclear when Bol can return to the lineup, and once he is available again, life won't be the same for the 23-year-old, as the Magic are nearly back to full health and things will be crowded on […]

Jalen Suggs Listed As Questionable Thursday

Orlando Magic guard Jalen Suggs (ankle) has been labeled as questionable for Thursday's matchup against Memphis. It's the first time after 18 games that the team hasn't listed him as out, so it's possible Suggs is ready to get back to action. Suggs played 14 games at the start of the season before going down […]

T.J. Warren Suffers A Rib Contusion

Brooklyn Nets forward T.J. Warren exited Wednesday's matchup against Chicago in the fourth quarter after suffering a rib contusion on a screen. It was a bad ending to a bad night, as Warren failed to score in 14 minutes. The 29-year-old has bounced back well from awful injury setbacks, averaging 9.5 points and 3.4 rebounds […]

Dennis Schroder Leads Short-Handed Lakers To Win

Los Angeles Lakers guard Dennis Schroder played 40 minutes in the team's 112-109 win over the Miami Heat on Wednesday night. The 29-year-old posted 32 points, four rebounds, two assists, and four steals while shooting 8-for-15 from the floor, 4-for-7 from three, and 12-for-14 from the line. This marked his second 30-point game of the […]

Bam Adebayo Posts Full Stat Line In Wednesday Night Loss

Miami Heat center Bam Adebayo led the way during a forgettable night as the team dropped the game to the Los Angeles Lakers on Wednesday. The 25-year-old posted his third 30-point game in a row as he ended with exactly 30 points on 13-for-23 shooting from the floor. He also added 13 rebounds, three assists, […]
