Tyler Herro Questionable Against Charlotte

Miami Heat guard Tyler Herro (ankle) is considered questionable for Saturday's meeting with Charlotte, the second of consecutive matchups between the clubs. The reigning Sixth Man of the Year has already missed two games due to a sprained left ankle, so the team is hoping to get him back out there. However, if Herro sits […]

Gordon Hayward Out Against The Heat

Charlotte Hornets forward Gordon Hayward (shoulder) won't play on Saturday against Miami, marking his sixth straight absence. LaMelo Ball (ankle) and Cody Martin (knee) remain out as well, which will defer the scoring duties to P.J. Washington, Kelly Oubre Jr., and Terry Rozier. Dennis Smith Jr. (ankle) will be involved offensively if he can suit […]

LaMelo Ball Won't Make Season Debut On Saturday

Charlotte Hornets guard LaMelo Ball (ankle) won't suit up against the Heat. Ball hasn't played yet this year after spraining his left ankle in the preseason.

T.J. Warren Moving In The Right Direction

Brooklyn Nets forward T.J. Warren (foot) has been cleared for contact drills with the coaching staff.

Yuta Watanabe Won't Play Against The Clippers

Brooklyn Nets guard Yuta Watanabe (ankle) is out for Saturday's meeting with the Clippers. The 28-year-old tweaked his ankle during Monday's meeting with Dallas and didn't suit up for the next game against the Knicks.

Dennis Smith Jr. Questionable For Saturday

Charlotte Hornets point guard Dennis Smith Jr. (ankle) is considered questionable for Saturday's matchup against Miami. He rolled his left ankle in a meeting with the Heat on Thursday and wasn't able to complete the game.

Dean Wade Pops Up On The Injury Report

Cleveland Cavaliers forward Dean Wade (knee) has picked up a questionable tag only an hour and a half before the team is set to tip off their game against Golden State. He is dealing with right knee soreness. Wade doesn't carry a lot of fantasy value, but he's a versatile guy whom the Cavaliers can […]

Donte DiVincenzo Active With A Minutes Limit

Golden State Warriors guard Donte DiVincenzo (hamstring) will return to the lineup Friday against Cleveland, but he will be carrying a 20-minute restriction. The team will try to take it easy with the 25-year-old sniper, who has missed eight games with a left hamstring strain. DiVincenzo has actually averaged just 14 minutes for the season, […]

Kristaps Porzingis Upgraded To Probable For Saturday

Washington Wizards forward/center Kristaps Porzingis (groin) is now considered probable for Saturday's home game against the Jazz.

His return will push Anthony Gill back to […]

Bradley Beal Clears Health Protocols

Washington Wizards shooting guard Bradley Beal has cleared health and safety protocols but will remain out for Saturday's matchup against Utah. He has sat out three games because of the protocols, but it's possible now that Beal returns on Sunday versus Memphis when the Wizards complete the weekend's back-to-back set. Corey Kispert look set to […]

Yuta Watanabe Likely Out For Two More Games

Brooklyn Nets forward Yuta Watanabe (ankle) is set to sit out at least two more games. He sprained his left ankle against Dallas at the start of the week and already missed one contest Wednesday versus the Knicks. Watanabe has been able to make himself useful while the Nets have dealt with injury, but he […]

Naz Reid Sits Friday Night

Minnesota Timberwolves center Naz Reid (illness) remains unavailable for Friday's contest against Memphis. He's battling an illness and already missed one game this week, Reid recently had a few strong showings, but it was because Rudy Gobert hasn't available and fantasy managers shouldn't expect a repeat of the stretch anytime soon. Both Gobert and Karl-Anthony […]

Cade Cunningham Sitting Again On Friday Night

Detroit Pistons guard Cade Cunningham (shin) won't play on Friday against the Knicks. The 21-year-old has a sore right shin, so his next chance to suit up will come on Saturday against the Celtics. In the meantime, Killian Hayes is expected to take his place. Hayes has averaged 7.1 points, 4.4 assists, and 2.8 boards […]

Chris Paul Remains Out Versus Orlando

Phoenix Suns guard Chris Paul (heel) will remain sidelined against Orlando. The veteran injured his heel on Monday night and continues to deal with soreness. Cameron Payne should continue to take his place in the lineup. Payne scored a season-high 23 points on Wednesday against Minnesota, so he should continue to draw interest from managers […]

Paolo Banchero Out Again On Friday

Orlando Magic forward Paolo Banchero (ankle) won't play against Phoenix. The 19-year-old will now miss his second consecutive game as he continues to be sidelined by a sprained ankle. Without Banchero, Chuma Okeke will remain in the starting lineup. Okeke scored only eight points in 32 minutes while filling in for the rookie on Wednesday […]

Kawhi Leonard Is Progressing Towards A Return

Los Angeles Clippers forward Kawhi Leonard (knee) went through 5-on-5 work and is processing toward a return at some point. He is still listed as out against the Brooklyn Nets on Saturday, but head coach Ty Lue has said that he's getting close to a return. This doesn't exactly tell anyone how close he truly […]

Ben Simmons Will Continue Coming Off Of The Bench

Brooklyn Nets forward Ben Simmons played limited minutes off of the bench when he returned a couple of games ago from knee soreness. Head coach Jacque Vaughn confirmed that the 26-year-old will in fact still be playing in a backup type of role. This is most likely due to the spacing issues when He and […]

Landry Shamet Will Miss Friday's Game

Phoenix Suns guard Landry Shamet (concussion symptoms) will not suit up for the team's game on Friday night against the Orlando Magic. When healthy, Shamet was only a real fantasy option in deeper leagues. Now that he'll be out, and Chris Paul is questionable, this opens the door to a couple of players to get […]

Anthony Davis Downgraded To Questionable For Friday

Los Angeles Lakers power forward Anthony Davis (illness) was previously listed as probable with some back tightness earlier on Friday. Now he's listed as questionable while suffering from a non-COVID illness. He reportedly missed the shootaround to rest and will be evaluated in the afternoon.

Bradley Beal Remains Sidelined On Saturday

Washington Wizards guard Bradley Beal will stay on the sidelines for the team's game on Saturday against the Utah Jazz.

Kristaps Porzingis Questionable For Saturday

Washington Wizards center Kristaps Porzingis (groin) missed the team's last game with a groin strain but he did some on-court work on Friday.

Jae'Sean Tate Not Close To Returning

Houston Rockets forward Jae'Sean Tate (ankle) is not close to getting back on the court, according to head coach Stephen Silas. After missing the first four games of the season, he played three games and seemed to aggravate his ankle injury. After missing the last five games in a row, it seems like he's in […]

Lonnie Walker IV Upgraded To Probable Against Kings

Los Angeles Lakers guard Lonnie Walker IV (illness) has officially been upgraded on the injury report to probable for Friday night. He previously was questionable and the team was unsure if he was going to miss his third consecutive game. As he's set to take his starting role back, Austin Reaves will probably take a […]

Cody Martin To Miss Six Weeks After Procedure

Charlotte Hornets forward Cody Martin (knee) underwent an arthroscopic procedure and he reportedly is set to miss six more weeks. The 27-year-old exited the team's first game of the season and hasn't played a game since then. After this procedure, there's at least a timetable for his return. The Hornets have been hit with a […]

Jimmy Butler Nearly Misses Triple-Double In Win

Miami Heat forward Jimmy Butler just nearly missed a triple-double during the team's overtime win against the Charlotte Hornets on Thursday night.

Golden State Warriors guard Donte DiVincenzo (hamstring) has been listed as probable to play his first game back since injuring his hamstring three weeks ago. The 25-year-old didn't see too many minutes in his first three games. He'll still be in a reserve role and will be behind Jordan Poole in the guard rotation. DiVincenzo […]

Darius Bazley Won't Suit Up On Friday

Oklahoma City Thunder forward Darius Bazley (ankle) was forced to leave their last game on Thursday night due to a sprained ankle. It looks as though he'll be forced to miss at least one game as he was officially listed as out for their game on Friday against the Toronto Raptors. Aleksej Pokusevski will likely […]

Marvin Bagley III Questionable On Friday

Detroit Pistons forward Marvin Bagley III (knee) has yet to play a game this season due to a knee injury in the preseason. His injury status has been steadily improving, and now he's questionable to make his debut on Friday night against the New York Knicks. The 23-year-old enjoyed a bit of a resurgence when […]

Clint Capela Posts Huge Double-Double

Atlanta Hawks center Clint Capela put together a big double-double against Joel Embiid and the Philadelphia 76ers. The 28-year-old big man registered 18 points and 20 rebounds while shooting 70% from the floor on Thursday night. Capela was never much of a scoring center, but his rebounding and blocks were the bread and butter of […]
