Spencer Davies of SI.com reports that Cleveland Cavaliers forward De'Andre Hunter won't make his Cavs debut on Friday against the Washington Wizards. Cleveland acquired Hunter via trade with the Atlanta Hawks on Thursday, and his next chance to suit up for his new club will be on Monday against the Minnesota Timberwolves. Fantasy managers should […]

Dennis Schroder Won't Make Pistons Debut On Friday

Detroit Pistons guard Dennis Schroder won't debut for his new club against the 76ers on Friday after recently being acquired in a trade with the Golden State Warriors. The 31-year-old was recently a part of the huge Jimmy Butler trade on Wednesday. Schroder could boost fantasy manager's lineups as he could see an expanded role with […]

Trae Young Listed As Probable On Friday

Atlanta Hawks guard Trae Young (Achilles) seems likely to suit up on Friday against the Milwaukee Bucks after the team listed him as probable. He'll be called upon for even more scoring to take down the Bucks if none of their new trade assets are ready in time. Young posted a big-time double-double in their […]

Jakob Poeltl Ruled Out Friday Against Thunder

Toronto Raptors center Jakob Poeltl (hip) is suffering from a hip pointer and will not suit up on Friday for their contest against the Oklahoma City Thunder. The 29-year-old will miss his second consecutive game after getting hurt against the New York Knicks earlier in the week. Since Kelly Olynyk was traded to the New […]

RJ Barrett Remains Sidelined On Friday

Toronto Raptors guard RJ Barrett (concussion) has been ruled out for the third consecutive game while he remains in concussion protocol on Friday. After a couple of trades, the Raptors should have quite the mix of players in their game against the Oklahoma City Thunder. Immanuel Quickley is off of the injury report while Jamal […]

Cade Cunningham May Miss Friday's Game Against 76ers

Detroit Pistons guard Cade Cunningham (ankle) is listed as questionable for the contest against the Philadelphia 76ers on Friday due to an ankle sprain. The star point guard hasn't been forced to miss a game since late November, so there's a chance the team could use this as a rest day. If that's the case, […]

Paul George Available On Friday Against Pistons

Philadelphia 76ers guard/forward Paul George (finger) remains on the injury report for his finger injury that requires a splint, but he'll be available for the team's Friday night game against the Detroit Pistons. In his first game back while wearing the splint, George had a bit of a rough night going for nine points, two […]

LaMelo Ball Tagged As Questionable Against Spurs

Charlotte Hornets guard LaMelo Ball (ankle) resumed on-court activities earlier in the week and has since been listed as questionable for Friday's matchup with the San Antonio Spurs. Ball has missed the last five games with a left ankle sprain. If he returns on Friday, he'll be alongside a different-looking supporting cast after the trade […]

Donovan Mitchell Considered Probable Friday

Cleveland Cavaliers guard Donovan Mitchell (shoulder) has been listed as probable for Friday's matchup with the Washington Wizards. He received a night off to deal with a shoulder contusion on Wednesday and seems ready to go against a lowly Wizards team that will roll out a decimated crew until all of their trades go through. […]

There are just six games tonight, but we could see several star players return from injury and a few others make their debuts on new teams after being traded earlier in the week.

The contests include some very interesting matchups and a chance to see some new looks from some teams if their recent acquisitions are available. […]

Giannis Antetokounmpo Questionable Versus The Hawks

Milwaukee Bucks forward Giannis Antetokounmpo (calf) is questionable for Friday's matchup with the Hawks. The 30-year-old wasn't available on Monday versus OKC. But he was upgraded to probable heading into Wednesday's game against the Hornets. However, Antetokounmpo was a late scratch for that one. Bobby Portis entered the starting lineup and had a massive showing, […]

LeBron James Active For Thursday's Game

Los Angeles Lakers forward LeBron James (foot) is available ahead of Thursday's game against the Golden State Warriors. As expected, James is good to go as he continues to play through a lingering ankle injury. The issue isn't impacting him on the court considering he's nearly posting a triple-double every night. Fantasy managers should expect […]

Joel Embiid Off The Injury Report For Friday Night

Philadelphia 76ers center Joel Embiid (knee) is off the injury report ahead of Friday's game against the Pistons. The 2023 NBA MVP missed a month before returning for Tuesday's win over the Mavericks. Despite the layoff, he had an impressive showing, amassing 29 points, 11 rebounds, and 10 assists. As expected, Embiid wasn't available on […]

Kevin Durant Holds Questionable Tag For Friday

Phoenix Suns forward Kevin Durant (ankle) is currently listed as questionable ahead of Friday's game against the Utah Jazz. Durant appears to be in danger of missing his second straight game due to a left ankle sprain. If he sits, Royce O'Neale, Ryan Dunn (ankle), and Grayson Allen would all see bigger workloads if Durant […]

Bradley Beal Could Miss Friday's Game

Phoenix Suns guard Bradley Beal (toe) is listed as questionable ahead of Friday's game against the Utah Jazz. It's unclear where Beal picked up this injury considering he has played in seven straight games. Hopefully, it's only a minor issue that won't cost him any time, but fantasy managers will need to check back for […]

Aaron Gordon Available On Thursday

Denver Nuggets forward Aaron Gordon (calf) is available ahead of Thursday's game against the Orlando Magic. It was uncertain if Gordon would play in both games of the back-to-back. However, Gordon appears to be feeling good enough to run it back on Thursday. He could see increased responsibilities with Jamal Murray (knee) sidelined. Gordon dropped […]

Jamal Murray Ruled Out Versus Orlando

Denver Nuggets guard Jamal Murray (knee) is ruled out for Thursday's game against the visiting Magic. The veteran logged 36 minutes in Wednesday's 144-119 win over the New Orleans Pelicans. However, he popped up on the injury report on Thursday because of left knee inflammation. With Russell Westbrook (hamstring) also out, Julian Strawther and Jalen […]

Chet Holmgren Off The Injury Report For Friday

Oklahoma City Thunder center Chet Holmgren (hip) is off the injury report for Friday's matchup with the Raptors. The 22-year-old had an excellent start to the 2024-25 campaign, averaging 16.4 points, 8.7 rebounds, and 2.6 blocks. However, he suffered a hip fracture during the Nov. 10 meeting with the Golden State Warriors and has been […]

Jalen Suggs Won't Play Versus Denver

Orlando Magic guard Jalen Suggs (quadriceps) isn't available for Thursday's meeting with Denver. He missed time because of a back injury but returned for the January 25 matchup with the Detroit Pistons. However, the 23-year-old suffered a quad contusion in that contest and will miss his sixth-straight game. Cole Anthony, who had 14 points, three […]

Kentavious Caldwell-Pope Available On Thursday

Orlando Magic guard/forward Kentavious Caldwell-Pope (hamstring) is available ahead of Thursday's game against the Denver Nuggets. There was some uncertainty if Caldwell-Pope would suit up for both games of the back-to-back set. It appears that the veteran guard is feeling good enough to play after playing 22 minutes on Wednesday. The expectation is that Caldwell-Pope […]

Josh Richardson Waived By Jazz

The Utah Jazz have decided to waive forward Josh Richardson after acquiring him in a trade on Wednesday. Richardson was traded from the Miami Heat to the Detroit Pistons, but was quickly moved again to Utah. The Jazz had no plans of keeping Richardson and only wanted the draft pick that came along with him. […]

Jonas Valanciunas Available For Team Debut On Thursday

Sacramento Kings center Jonas Valanciunas is available to play ahead of Thursday's game against the Portland Trail Blazers. Valanciunas was acquired by the Kings from the Washington Wizards on Wednesday. The assumption is that Valanciunas is going to operate as the primary backup center to Domantas Sabonis. Valanciunas was putting up fairly decent numbers in Washington, […]

Anthony Davis To Remain Sidelined On Thursday

Dallas Mavericks forward Anthony Davis (abdomen) won't make his team debut against the Boston Celtics on Thursday. It seemed unlikely that Davis would be ready to play, so Saturday seems like the target date for his Mavs debut. It'll be interesting to see how the Mavs work out their rotation with Davis, P.J. Washington, and […]

Steven Adams Ruled Out For Thursday

Houston Rockets center Steven Adams (ankle) has been ruled out ahead of Thursday's game against the Minnesota Timberwolves. The big man only managed to play 13 minutes during Tuesday's game and appears to be dealing with a left ankle injury. His absence should mean that Jock Landale will be asked to be the primary backup […]

Ben Simmons Discussing Buyout With Nets

Brooklyn Nets guard Ben Simmons stayed on the team through the trade deadline, but that doesn't mean he's going to finish the season with the organization. The two sides are reportedly working on a contract buyout. Simmons is in the final year of a five-year deal that he originally signed with the Philadelphia 76ers. A […]

 Jrue Holiday Sidelined On Thursday

Taylor Snow of the Celtics' official site reports that Boston Celtics guard Jrue Holiday (shoulder) won't play against the Dallas Mavericks on Thursday. Holiday's absence is due to a right shoulder impingement he has been dealing with. The 34-year-old's next chance to return to the floor is on Friday against the New York Knicks. While Holiday is out […]

Moses Moody Questionable Against Lakers

Golden State Warriors guard/forward Moses Moody (back) is questionable for Thursday's game against the Los Angeles Lakers. Moody has been dealing with a back issue and didn't play on Wednesday versus the Jazz. Once the 22-year-old is set to return, his fantasy value may dip with the Warriors trading for veteran Jimmy Butler. However, he won't have […]

Draymond Green Probable For Thursday's Matchup With Lakers

Golden State Warriors forward Draymond Green (calf) is probable for Thursday's contest against the Los Angeles Lakers. If Green plays this evening, it will be the second game he's been on the floor since returning from a calf injury. On Wednesday against the Jazz, Green collected seven points, nine assists, four rebounds and two steals across 34 […]

Jimmy Butler Will Not Make His Warriors Debut Thursday

Golden State Warriors forward Jimmy Butler is expected to join the team in Los Angeles for their game on Thursday against the Lakers, but he is not yet ready to make his debut. The Warriors will be short-handed without him after sending Andrew Wiggins, Lindy Waters III, Kyle Anderson, and Dennis Schroder out in the […]
