Clint Capela Ruled Out On Friday

Atlanta Hawks center Clint Capela (mouth) has been ruled out for Friday's game against the Houston Rockets. The 28-year-old is reportedly dealing with dental pain, so he'll sit out this game. His absence will result in Onyeka Okongwu drawing a spot start on Friday. He'll be worth streaming in most formats and someone to consider […]

Isaiah Jackson To Play On Friday

Indiana Pacers center Isaiah Jackson (ankle) is available for Friday's game against the Brooklyn Nets. He'll be back in action after missing Wednesday's contest due to a left ankle sprain. His return should mean less playing time for Goga Bitadze. On Wednesday, Bitadze played 15 minutes without Jackson available. He could very well fall out […]

Rui Hachimura To Miss Friday's Game

Washington Wizards forward Rui Hachimura (ankle) has been ruled out for Friday's game against the Miami Heat. This will be the third game in a row that Hachimura has missed due to right ankle soreness. Will Barton has been taking his place and looked great during Wednesday's contest. The expectation is that Barton will continue […]

Monte Morris To Sit Out On Friday

Washington Wizards guard Monte Morris (ankle) has been ruled out for Friday's game against the Miami Heat. The 27-year-old will miss his third game in a row due to right ankle soreness. This is not good news with fellow guard Bradley Beal (quad) headed for a game-time decision on Friday. That being said, Jordan Goodwin […]

Alperen Sengun Officially Out On Friday

Houston Rockets center Alperen Sengun (groin) has been ruled out for Friday's game against the Atlanta Hawks. This marks the second game in a row that Sengun will miss due to a right groin strain. Usman Garuba is likely to make his second start of the season, but isn't a must-add player. The return of […]

Heat Bringing Back Dru Smith

Free-agent guard Dru Smith has agreed to a two-way contract with Miami. The 24-year-old made one appearance for the Heat in October before being waived, logging six minutes and finishing with two points and a steal versus Portland. With the Heat dealing with an abundance of injuries versus Washington, Smith will be available on Friday, […]

Bruno Fernando Active On Friday

Houston Rockets center Bruno Fernando (knee) is available for Friday's game against the Atlanta Hawks. The big man will see his first game action since October 21. This is good timing for the Rockets with Alperen Sengun (groin) ruled out. However, it's unknown how much playing time Fernando will see in his first game back. […]

Bam Adebayo Cleared For Action Versus Wizards

Miami Heat center Bam Adebayo (knee) will play against Washington on Friday. Adebayo was questionable heading into this one because of a left knee bruise. However, it's a good thing he's available, as Miami will at least be without Jimmy Butler (knee), Duncan Robinson (ankle), Max Strus (shoulder). Tyler Herro (ankle) remains questionable. Yet, if […]

Drew Eubanks Out Against New York

Portland Trail Blazers center Drew Eubanks (back) is out against New York due to back spasms. With Jusuf Nurkic healthy and in the lineup, Eubanks likely wouldn't have received enough action to keep him relevant in any format. That said, Trendon Watford, who has averaged only 4.9 points in 2022-23, will see more minutes. While […]

Derrick Rose Sitting Again On Friday Evening

New York Knicks guard Derrick Rose (foot) won't play against Portland. The veteran will miss his second consecutive game on Friday night while dealing with a sore right foot (and a sore right toe). Cam Reddish (groin) is also out, so Quentin Grimes and Immanuel Quickley should provide value for managers in all formats.

Terrence Ross A Late Scratch On Friday

Orlando Magic guard Terrence Ross (illness) has been ruled out for Friday's game against the Philadelphia 76ers. Ross is a late scratch due to a non-COVID related illness. The Magic will likely split up the extra playing time between Gary Harris and RJ Hampton. Neither are great streaming options, but could be worth a look […]

Cam Reddish To Sit Out On Friday

New York Knicks forward Cam Reddish (groin) has been ruled out for Friday's game against the Portland Trail Blazers. This marks the third game in a row that Reddish has missed due to right groin soreness. Quentin Grimes will continue to see increased playing time without Reddish available. Grimes has filled in nicely for Reddish, […]

Max Strus Not Available Against The Wizards

Miami Heat guard Max Strus (shoulder) won't play against Washington. Strus has played well this season, averaging 15.3 points in 34.1 minutes per game this season. However, he'll join Jimmy Butler (knee) and Duncan Robinson (ankle) on the sidelines, so Caleb Martin (illness) and Tyler Herro (ankle) could benefit from a production standpoint. Yet, if […]

Mitchell Robinson Available On Friday

New York Knicks center Mitchell Robinson (knee) is available for Friday's game against the Portland Trail Blazers. The big man was questionable coming into this game due to right knee soreness. Although, Robinson is feeling good enough to give it a go on Friday. The Knicks are expected to run a three-man rotation at center. […]

Duncan Robinson Absent Against Washington

Miami Heat forward Duncan Robinson (ankle) won't suit up against the Wizards, marking his second straight absence because of a sprained left ankle. The 28-year-old has averaged only 8.3 points in 17.6 minutes per game this season. However, with so many of Miami's players on the injury report ahead of Friday's game, including Jimmy Butler […]

Wendell Carter Jr. Out Again On Friday

Orlando Magic center Wendell Carter Jr. (foot) won't be available on Friday against Philadelphia. The 23-year-old has been burdened by a right plantar fascia strain, with the injury limiting him to only one appearance in the last four games. Mo Bamba, who had 15 points in Wednesday's loss to Indiana, should continue to replace Carter […]

Gordon Hayward Out Against Minnesota

Charlotte Hornets forward Gordon Hayward (shoulder) won't suit up on Friday against Minnesota due to a left shoulder contusion. As a result, Jalen McDaniels will replace him in the lineup. The 24-year-old has averaged 9.1 points this season. However, with LaMelo Ball (ankle) and Dennis Smith Jr. (ankle) also sitting, McDaniels could be more productive.

LaMelo Ball Remains Out Against Minnesota

Charlotte Hornets guard LaMelo Ball (ankle) is out ahead of Friday's meeting with Minnesota. The 21-year-old has dealt with a sprained ankle for most of the year, so fantasy managers hope he's nearing a return. With Dennis Smith Jr. (ankle) also sitting, Terry Rozier will handle the point guard duties while receiving a boost in […]

Rudy Gobert Will Suit Up Versus Charlotte

Minnesota Timberwolves center Rudy Gobert (ankle) will play on Friday in Charlotte. The defensive specialist had been questionable heading into this one due to a sprained ankle. However, it seemingly wasn't too severe, so he should see his usual workload. That said, the Hornets have allowed the most fantasy points per game to opposing centers […]

Jordan McLaughlin Out Again On Friday

Minnesota Timberwolves guard Jordan McLaughlin (calf) won't play on Friday against Charlotte, marking his second-straight absence. Austin Rivers received some extra work on Wednesday versus Indiana. However, Rivers only scored six points in 20 minutes, so he's not likely to provide any value on the fantasy end.

Jimmy Butler Expected Back During Road Trip

Miami Heat forward Jimmy Butler (knee) is expected back for the team's upcoming contests in Boston, according to Ira Winderman of the South Florida Sun-Sentinel. The 33-year-old has already missed the previous four games because of right knee soreness, so he'll sit out a few more before he's finally ready to return. In the meantime, […]

LeBron James Questionable To Play On Friday

Los Angeles Lakers forward LeBron James (groin) has been tagged with his best injury status over the last week or two with a questionable status for the team's game on Friday against the San Antonio Spurs. He's been sidelined for the last five games and originally was targeting this upcoming game as a time to […]

Isaiah Jackson Tagged As Questionable On Friday

Indiana Pacers forward Isaiah Jackson (ankle) is officially tagged as questionable for the team's game on Friday against the Brooklyn Nets. He was listed as questionable for the last couple of games as well since he sprained his ankle against Orlando. He played in one of them and did not play in the last game. […]

Alperen Sengun Unlikely To Play Against Hawks

Houston Rockets center Alperen Sengun (groin) has been listed as doubtful with a groin strain. The likelihood of him playing on Friday against the Atlanta Hawks doesn't look too promising. During the two games that he missed toward the beginning of the season, a few different players seemed to get increased opportunities. Tari Eason, Usman […]

Cam Reddish Uncertain To Play On Friday

New York Knicks forward Cam Reddish (groin) is listed as questionable for the team's game against the Portland Trail Blazers on Friday. He's been forced to miss the last two contests, but his upgraded status is promising. While he's been out Quentin Grimes has been the best streaming option to go with. If Reddish can […]

Matisse Thybulle Won't Play Against Orlando

Philadelphia 76ers forward Matisse Thybulle (ankle) will not suit up on Friday after missing the team's last game and being forced to exit the last couple of games that he did play. When he first suffered the ankle injury, it didn't seem like it would hold him out too long. The pain has been lingering […]

Dennis Smith Jr. Won't Suit Up Against Timberwolves

Charlotte Hornets guard Dennis Smith Jr. (ankle) was forced to exit the team's last game early due to an ankle sprain. It seems as though it wasn't just a minor tweak as he'll be forced to miss at least one game. Since LaMelo Ball (ankle) is also out on Friday, Terry Rozier will see a […]

Gordon Hayward Questionable On Friday

Charlotte Hornets forward Gordon Hayward (shoulder) is officially listed as questionable for the team's game against the Minnesota Timberwolves. Unfortunately, he's been somewhat of a mainstay on the injury report so far this season. He's missed eight games already and has appeared as questionable in a handful of the games that did end up playing. […]

Michael Porter Jr. Questionable For Friday

Denver Nuggets forward Michael Porter Jr. (heel) is listed as questionable for Friday's game against Los Angeles Clippers. He sat out of Wednesday's game due to a left heel contusion. His absence resulted in Davon Reed drawing the start during Wednesday's game. He finished with zero points, three rebounds, and two assists in 25 minutes […]

Paul George Won't Play Against Nuggets

Los Angeles Clippers guard Paul George (hamstring) has been ruled out for Friday's game against the Denver Nuggets. This will be the third game in a row that George will miss due to a right hamstring strain. That means, Terance Mann will likely get another start with George on the sideline. Mann put together arguably […]
