Desmond Bane Unlikely To Play Against Washington

Memphis Grizzlies guard Desmond Bane (toe) isn't expected to play against the Wizards on Sunday. The 24-year-old has averaged 24.7 points, 4.9 rebounds, and shot 45.1% from deep this season, so hopefully, he's out for only one game. John Konchar is the favorite to take Bane's spot in the lineup if he doesn't suit up. […]

Justise Winslow To Sit Out On Saturday

Portland Trail Blazers forward Justise Winslow (ankle) has been ruled out for Saturday's game against the Dallas Mavericks. This is a bit surprising considering Winslow was listed as probable heading into this game. Despite that, Winslow will sit this game out due to a right ankle sprain. Shaedon Sharpe should see an expanded role with […]

De'Anthony Melton To Sit Against Hawks

Philadelphia 76ers guard De'Anthony Melton (back) has been ruled out for Saturday's game against the Atlanta Hawks. His absence will move Matisse Thybulle into the starting five for Saturday's game. Thybulle is a good defender, but doesn't offer much upside in terms of scoring. Tyrese Maxey and Joel Embiid are the focal points on offense […]

Christian Wood Available On Saturday

Dallas Mavericks center Christian Wood (knee) is available for Saturday's game against the Portland Trail Blazers. The expectation is that Wood will resume his role as the sixth-man in Dallas. The Mavericks don't have many reliable scoring options, so Wood should continue getting chances with the ball in his hands. He has been a bit […]

LaMelo Ball To Play On Saturday

Charlotte Hornets guard LaMelo Ball (ankle) will make his regular-season debut against the Miami Heat on Saturday. The 21-year-old has been sidelined until now due to a left ankle sprain. The expectation is that Ball will start, but his workload could be limited during his first game back. Theo Maledon should be the primary backup […]

Jaylen Brown Active, Won't Start On Saturday

Boston Celtics guard Jaylen Brown (knee) is active for Saturday's game against the Detroit Pistons. The star guard is active, but won't be in the starting five. The Celtics are going to start Derrick White, but will have Brown available in case of emergency. Fantasy managers shouldn't expect Brown to play, but the fact he's […]

Thaddeus Young Gets The Starting Nod

Toronto Raptors forward Thaddeus Young will move into the starting five for Saturday's game against the Indiana Pacers. Head coach Nick Nurse has decided to shake up his lineup with rookie Christian Koloko struggling right now. Young has proven to be fairly productive when he does play. The Raptors could also use Young's boost in […]

Fred Vanvleet Won't Play On Saturday

Toronto Raptors guard Fred VanVleet (illness) has been ruled out for Saturday's game against the Indiana Pacers. The 28-year-old will sit this one out while he deals with a non-COVID related illness. It's the second game of a back-to-back set, so the Raptors are going to take the cautious approach here. Otto Porter Jr. will […]

LaMelo Ball Upgraded To Questionable Versus Miami

Charlotte Hornets guard LaMelo Ball (ankle) has been upgraded to questionable ahead of the rematch with the Heat. The 21-year-old hasn't played all year due to a left ankle sprain and was listed as out in Friday's edition of the injury report, so it appears he's moving in the right direction. However, even if he […]

Taj Gibson Officially Out On Saturday Night

Washington Wizards center Taj Gibson (neck) is out on Saturday against Utah. The 37-year-old has a cervical strain. However, considering Gibson has averaged only 2.5 points in 4.5 minutes per game this season, his absence won't impact the rotation.

Kyle Kuzma Questionable Against Utah Due To Illness

Washington Wizards forward Kyle Kuzma (illness) is questionable ahead of the meeting with Utah. Kuzma is dealing with a non-COVID-related illness, and considering he was a late addition to the injury report, there's a good chance he may not play. Bradley Beal (illness) remains out on Saturday, so Kristaps Porzingis (groin), who is available, should […]

Kristaps Porzingis Available Against The Jazz

Washington Wizards center Kristaps Porzingis (groin) is available on Saturday against Utah. The 27-year-old missed only one game with a groin strain, so the issue isn't expected to impact his workload. With Bradley Beal (illness) out again, Porzingis and Kyle Kuzma should continue to do most of the heavy lifting offensively.

Khem Birch Out Against The Pacers

Toronto Raptors forward Khem Birch (knee) remains out on Saturday versus Indiana. The 30-year-old will miss his sixth straight contest as he works his way back from knee soreness. With Precious Achiuwa (ankle) and Pascal Siakam (adductor) both sidelined as well, Toronto will be shorthanded up front. Considering Fred VanVleet (illness) is questionable, Scottie Barnes […]

Fred VanVleet Riding Questionable Tag Against Indiana

Toronto Raptors guard Fred VanVleet (illness) is uncertain for Saturday's showdown with the Pacers. He's under the weather with a non-COVID-related sickness. VanVleet logged 28 minutes in Friday's game against OKC, so head coach Nick Nurse may keep him out on the second night of a back-to-back as a precaution. With Pascal Siakam (adductor) and […]

Taj Gibson Expected To Sit Again On Saturday

Washington Wizards center Taj Gibson (neck) is doubtful ahead of Saturday's meeting with the Utah Jazz due to a strained neck. The 37-year-old has been a filler piece for the team this season, relegating him to nearly five minutes per game. With Kristaps Porzingis (groin) probable, Gibson likely wouldn't have gotten much work, to begin […]

Marvin Bagley III Probable Versus Celtics

Detroit Pistons forward Marvin Bagley III (knee) is probable versus Boston. The 23-year-old hasn't played yet this season due to a right MCL sprain, so Saturday's appearance would mark his 2022-23 debut. Cade Cunningham (shin) is out, potentially giving Bagley a chance to benefit on the offensive end. However, considering it will be his first […]

Alec Burks May Sit On Saturday

Detroit Pistons guard Alec Burks (foot) may not play in Saturday's meeting with Boston. The veteran made his 2022-23 debut on Friday night against the Knicks and finished with 17 points in 25 minutes of work, taking advantage of Cade Cunningham's (shin) absence. With Cunningham to miss his second consecutive outing, Burks should remain involved […]

Cade Cunningham Not Playing Against Shorthanded Celtics

Detroit Pistons guard Cade Cunningham (shin) won't suit up for Saturday's game against Boston. The 21-year-old was also out on Friday night, which opened the door Bojan Bogdanovic to lead the team with 25 points. Bogdanovic should continue to benefit immensely without Cunningham on the floor, and so should guys like Isaiah Stewart, Killian Hayes, […]

Jaylen Brown Questionable With A Bruised Knee

Boston Celtics guard Jaylen Brown (knee) is officially questionable for Saturday's tilt with Detroit. The 26-year-old has a bruised left knee. Considering he logged 34 minutes against Denver on Friday night, there's a good chance he won't be available. With Al Horford (back) and Malcolm Brogdon (hamstring) out, Jayson Tatum figures to see a significant […]

Al Horford Out On Saturday Night

Boston Celtics center Al Horford (back) isn't available for Saturday's matchup versus the Pistons. The 36-year-old played on Friday night against Denver, logging 34 minutes and finishing with 21 points and seven rebounds. However, he's out with low back stiffness, something he's been working through for nearly the entire season. There's a good chance Horford […]

De'Aaron Fox Shines In Win Over Lakers

Sacramento Kings point guard De'Aaron Fox led his team to a 120-114 win over the Lakers on Friday, scoring a game-high 32 points and dishing out a season-best 12 assists. He was also able to get seven rebounds and two steals with three turnovers in 38 minutes, hitting two times from deep and shooting a […]

Anthony Davis Does It All Friday Night

Los Angeles Lakers forward/center Anthony Davis shook off an illness Friday and posted a full line in a 120-114 loss to Sacramento with 24 points, 14 rebounds, three assists, two steals and three blocks. AD literally did everything humanly possible to save his team from another loss, but it wasn't enough, which is very telling […]

Donovan Mitchell Gets A Sniff Of A Triple-Double

Cleveland Cavaliers guard Donovan Mitchell came extremely close to his first career triple-double Friday night, finishing a 106-101 loss to the Warriors with 29 points, 10 rebounds and nine assists. He also collected two steals and one block in the game while having three turnovers in 37 minutes. Mitchell shot a solid 10-for-20 from the […]

Stephen Curry Has Another 40-Point Night

Golden State Warriors point guard Stephen Curry made it back-to-back 40-point games for himself Friday versus Cleveland, shooting 15-for-23 from the field and 6-for-11 from downtown in a 106-101 win. He added four rebounds and five assists to his 40 points with one steal and two turnovers in 34 minutes. Curry also put together a […]

Ja Morant Almost Has A Triple-Double Friday

Memphis Grizzlies point guard Ja Morant had another close call with a triple-double in Friday's matchup against Minnesota, completing a 114-103 win with 28 points, 10 rebounds and eight assists. That's now the third time in his past six games Morant has seen his fifth career triple-double slip away. This time it happened during a […]

RJ Barrett Comes Through With 30 Points

New York Knicks small forward RJ Barrett stood out with a 30-point performance in Friday's 121-112 win over Detroit, adding five rebounds and five assists in 38 minutes. He posted only one turnover and shot 10-for-17 from the field with a 3-for-8 record from beyond the arc. Barrett improved his season-best by three points, and […]

Jamal Murray Bags First Double-Double Since Return

Denver Nuggets point guard Jamal Murray registered his first double-double since returning to action, notching 14 points and 10 assists in Friday's heavy loss to Boston. It's his first double-double since March 2020. Murray also logged a season-high 35 minutes, so this game should be very encouraging for fantasy managers. Denver's star guard shot 6-for-17 […]

Damian Lillard Off The Injury Report Against Mavs

Portland Trail Blazers guard Damian Lillard (calf) is not listed on the injury report ahead of Saturday's meeting with Dallas. He missed four games because of a right calf strain before returning against the Heat less than a week ago. However, the 32-year-old Sat out on Thursday versus New Orleans, the second of back-to-back outings. […]

Jusuf Nurkic In Danger Of Missing Another Game

Portland Trail Blazers center Jusuf Nurkic (hip) is questionable for Saturday's game against Dallas. The veteran has missed his previous two games with a right adductor strain, allowing Drew Eubanks to take his place in the lineup. Eubanks has played well in the starting lineup while Nurkic has been out, averaging 10.0 points, 8.0 rebounds, […]

Christian Wood Expected To Play Against Portland

Dallas Mavericks center Christian Wood (knee) is expected to return on Saturday versus Portland. The 27-year-old missed his previous two games because of a right knee sprain, allowing Dwight Powell to get some additional action. Wood has averaged 15.6 points and 7.8 rebounds this season, a dip from his numbers in 2021-22. While fantasy managers […]
