Jalen Williams Ruled Out Versus Brooklyn

Oklahoma City Thunder forward Jalen Williams (hip) won't suit up on Sunday against the visiting Nets. He popped up on the injury report because of a right hip strain, so he'll miss his first game of the 2024-25 campaign. Fortunately, Shai Gilgeous-Alexander (wrist) will return after a one-game absence. The team should also get expanded […]

Shai Gilgeous-Alexander Good To Go On Sunday Night

Oklahoma City Thunder guard Shai Gilgeous-Alexander (wrist) will play on Sunday night versus the Brooklyn Nets. SGA didn't suit up for Friday's loss to the Dallas Mavericks because of a sprained wrist, his first absence of the 2024-25 campaign. He had been questionable heading into this contest, so most had assumed he would get another […]

Andre Drummond Sitting On Sunday

Philadelphia 76ers center Andre Drummond (toe) won't play on Sunday versus the Bucks. The veteran missed six games before returning for Saturday's loss to the Pacers, finishing with eight points and three rebounds. However, Drummond will now take the night off for the second game of a back-to-back. With Joel Embiid (knee) out, Guerschon Yabusele […]

Jalen Williams Now Questionable Versus Brooklyn

Oklahoma City Thunder forward Jalen Williams (hip) is questionable for Saturday's game versus Brooklyn. The 23-year-old has had a fantastic 2024-25 campaign, averaging 20.6 points, 5.7 rebounds, 5.2 assists, and 1.8 steals. He also hasn't missed a game. But a right hip strain could be enough to keep him off the floor, although it's possible […]

Khris Middleton Ready To Go On Sunday

Milwaukee Bucks forward Khris Middleton (ankle) has been upgraded to available ahead of Sunday's game against the Philadelphia 76ers. As expected, Middleton will play after being listed as probable coming into this contest. However, Middleton has lost his gig in the starting five which could mean slightly less playing time. Middleton has scored double digit […]

Andre Jackson Jr. Upgraded To Available

Milwaukee Bucks guard Andre Jackson Jr. (hip) has been upgraded to available ahead of Sunday's game against the Philadelphia 76ers. Jackson will make his return to the court after missing their last contest due to a hip issue. He has been starting for the Bucks, but Jackson is only averaging 3.5 points per game coming […]

AJ Green Won't Play On Sunday

Milwaukee Bucks guard AJ Green (quad) has been ruled out ahead of Sunday's game against the Philadelphia 76ers. He was tagged as questionable coming into this game, but Green has now been downgraded to out. The absence of Green should mean increased playing time for both Andre Jackson Jr. and Ryan Rollins in the rotation. […]

MarJon Beauchamp Ruled Out For Sunday

Milwaukee Bucks forward MarJon Beauchamp (illness) has been ruled out ahead of Sunday's game against the Philadelphia 76ers. This marks the second game in a row that Beauchamp has been forced to miss due to an illness. His absence isn't extremely noteworthy given the fact he's only averaging 4.2 minutes per game this season. The […]

Giannis Antetokounmpo Available For Sunday

Milwaukee Bucks forward Giannis Antetokounmpo (knee) is available ahead of Sunday's game against the Philadelphia 76ers. As expected, Antetokounmpo will play despite his lingering knee issue that he has dealt with throughout the season. He has continued to play well over 30 minutes per game, so fantasy managers should expect Antetokounmpo to have his normal […]

Cameron Johnson Uncertain For Sunday

Brooklyn Nets forward Cameron Johnson (ankle) is currently listed as questionable ahead of Sunday's game against the Oklahoma City Thunder. Johnson has missed each of the last two games and is in danger of missing a third due to an ankle sprain. Luckily, fantasy managers shouldn't be too worried as this appears to be a […]

Gary Harris Ruled Out On Sunday

Orlando Magic guard Gary Harris (hamstring) has been ruled out ahead of Sunday's game against the Utah Jazz. Harris has only played one game this month and continues to miss time due to a lingering hamstring injury. This absence isn't going to have a huge impact on the rotation considering he was only playing minutes […]

Draymond Green Set For An MRI

Golden State Warriors forward Draymond Green (calf) will undergo an MRI on Sunday, according to head coach Steve Kerr. The 34-year-old missed three games because of an illness heading into Saturday's win over the Washington Wizards. Unfortunately, he injured his calf after getting cleared to suit up and logged only three minutes to finish the […]

Stephen Curry Considered "Day-To-Day"

Golden State Warriors guard Stephen Curry (ankle) exited Saturday's victory over the Washington Wizards and didn't return. The 36-year-old played nearly the entire contest before tweaking his left ankle, ending the night with 26 points while shooting a rough 4-for-14 from behind the arc. Luckily, Curry reported after the game that he "feels great" and […]

Aaron Gordon Expected To Play Versus Orlando

Denver Nuggets forward Aaron Gordon (calf) is expected to play on Sunday against Orlando. He spent lengthy stints on the shelf twice this season because of a calf injury. As a result, head coach Mike Malone is taking things slow, with the 29-year-old logging 22 minutes or less in three appearances since returning to the […]

NBA DFS: Top Daily Fantasy Expert Picks for DraftKings, FanDuel (1/19/25)

It’s great to be back in the swing of things in the NBA, RotoBallers. In these articles, I focus on the top plays, traditionally geared toward cash games. However, with over a decade of NBA DFS experience under my belt—and as someone who rarely dives into cash formats—I'm selecting picks that also typically come with […]

Goga Bitadze Remains Sidelined On Sunday

Orlando Magic center Goga Bitadze (concussion protocol) won't play on Sunday versus the Denver Nuggets. The 25-year-old exited a recent meeting with the Philadelphia 76ers because of a hip contusion. However, he also began developing concussion-like symptoms, keeping him off the floor for Orlando's previous two contests. Without Bitadze in the equation, Wendell Carter Jr., […]

Nikola Jokic Probable To Face The Magic

Denver Nuggets center Nikola Jokic (elbow) is probable for Saturday's contest versus the Magic. The multi-time MVP recently missed a few games because of an illness. He was also sidelined for the January 15 meeting with the Houston Rockets because of a sprained elbow. Fortunately, Jokic was back on the floor for Friday's clash with […]

Fantasy Basketball Waiver Wire Pickups for Week 13 (2024-25): January 20 - January 26

Week 13 starts with eight games on Monday as the NBA celebrates Martin Luther King Jr. Day. But the back half of the week gets a bit wonky as there are only three games on Friday night, then 14 games on Saturday, and only one game next Sunday. Most leagues have a weekly moves cap, […]

Shai Gilgeous-Alexander Questionable Against The Nets

Oklahoma City Thunder guard Shai Gilgeous-Alexander (wrist) is questionable for Sunday's game versus the visiting Nets. The 26-year-old was a late addition to the injury report heading into Friday's loss to the Dallas Mavericks. However, he was ultimately downgraded, missing his first game of the 2024-25 campaign. Aaron Wiggins entered the starting lineup and finished […]

Ivica Zubac Questionable For Sunday

Los Angeles Clippers center Ivica Zubac (back) is listed as questionable ahead of Sunday's game against the Los Angeles Lakers. Zubac will join the long list of Clippers players that are uncertain to play on Sunday. Zubac hasn't missed a game all season, so it seems unlikely that he'd sit out due to lower back […]

Draymond Green Won't Return On Saturday

Golden State Warriors forward Draymond Green (calf) has been ruled out for the rest of Saturday's game against the Washington Wizards. Green made his return to the lineup on Saturday after missing three games due to an illness. Sadly, Green wasn't able to last long in the game before exiting due to left calf tightness. […]

Kawhi Leonard Removed From Injury Report

Los Angeles Clippers forward Kawhi Leonard (knee) has been removed from the injury report ahead of Sunday's game against the Los Angeles Lakers. It appears Leonard is ready to return from his one-game absence due to knee injury management. His return to the court is a welcoming sight with the Clippers having a handful of […]

Norman Powell Uncertain For Sunday

Los Angeles Clippers guard Norman Powell (back) is currently listed as questionable ahead of Sunday's game against the Los Angeles Lakers. This is not good news considering the Clippers already have a handful of players on the injury report. Powell has really stepped up this season with Kawhi Leonard (knee) being unavailable for most of […]

James Harden Tagged As Questionable For Sunday

Los Angeles Clippers guard James Harden (illness) is currently listed as questionable ahead of Sunday's game against the Los Angeles Lakers. Harden only missed two games this season, so it seems unlikely that he'll sit out due to an illness. Although, the severity of the illness is unknown at the moment, so fantasy managers will […]

Amen Thompson Downgraded To Out

Houston Rockets guard Amen Thompson (calf) has been ruled out ahead of Saturday's game against the Portland Trail Blazers. Thompson was questionable coming into this game, but has been downgraded to out due to a calf issue. The loss of Thompson leaves a significant hole in the rotation given the fact Thompson has been playing […]

Isaac Okoro Ruled Out For Saturday's Game

Cleveland Cavaliers forward Isaac Okoro (shoulder) has been ruled out ahead of Saturday's game against the Minnesota Timberwolves. The Cavs are likely going to be shorthanded here with Evan Mobley (calf) unavailable as well. That means, Georges Niang, Dean Wade, and Max Strus should all see increased roles in the rotation. None of these players […]

Deni Avdija Ruled Out For Saturday

Portland Trail Blazers forward Deni Avdija (ankle) has been ruled out ahead of Saturday's game against the Houston Rockets. This now marks the third game in a row that Avdija will be forced to miss due to an ankle injury. When healthy, Avdija has been a solid contributor, especially in this month, but he'll miss […]

Draymond Green Good To Go On Saturday

Golden State Warriors forward Draymond Green (illness) has been cleared to play ahead of Saturday's game against the Washington Wizards. Green will make his return to the lineup after missing the last three games due to an illness. There is no word on Green being limited, so the expectation is that he'll have his full […]

Evan Mobley Won't Play On Saturday

Cleveland Cavaliers center Evan Mobley (calf) has been ruled out ahead of Saturday's game against the Minnesota Timberwolves. Mobley was questionable coming into this game after suffering a left calf injury. As a result, Mobley will sit out on Saturday, but will hopefully be back in the mix for Monday's game against the Phoenix Suns. […]

Kyle Anderson Sidelined On Saturday

Golden State Warriors small forward Kyle Anderson (hamstring) won't play on Saturday versus the Washington Wizards. The veteran forward will be out of action for the second consecutive contest. Anderson has played 33 games this season averaging 5.4 points, 3.2 rebounds and 2.3 assists per game for the Warriors, shooting 44.3% from the floor and […]
