Nikola Jokic Listed As Probable For Sunday

Denver Nuggets center Nikola Jokic (illness) has been listed as probable on the injury report ahead of Sunday's matchup against Dallas. The multi-time MVP continues to battle an illness, but he was able to return from a two-game absence on Friday versus Brooklyn, and the probable tag suggests that Jokic will likely be good to […]

Bruce Brown Available Saturday

Toronto Raptors guard/forward Bruce Brown (knee) will be active against Detroit on Saturday. Brown missed Thursday's matchup against Cleveland for knee injury management purposes, but Toronto has not listed him on the injury report entering Saturday. Brown made his season debut only a couple of weeks ago and has averaged 5.4 points and 2.0 rebounds […]

Ochai Agbaji Returns To Raptors Lineup

Toronto Raptors guard/forward Ochai Agbaji (hip) will return to action on Saturday against Detroit. He missed Thursday's meeting with Cleveland due to a hip issue and was also initially questionable for Saturday's game. However, Toronto has upgraded Agbaji from questionable to available. The 24-year-old has averaged 10.8 points and 3.8 rebounds across 29.5 minutes this […]

John Collins Won't Play Against Phoenix

The Jazz play the Nets on Sunday, and with Collins listed as out because of injury management […]

Keyonte George Still Sidelined On Saturday

Utah Jazz guard Keyonte George (heel) won't play on Saturday versus the Suns. The 21-year-old has averaged a career-high 15.6 points and 5.7 assists this season. Unfortunately, he's missed Utah's previous three games because of left heel inflammation. With Jordan Clarkson (foot) also out, Lauri Markkanen and Collin Sexton should see an increase in scoring […]

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.

Jordan Clarkson Remains Out On Saturday

Utah Jazz guard Jordan Clarkson (foot) will remain sidelined for Saturday's game versus the Suns. The veteran has had a decent 2024-25 campaign, averaging 16.0 points and 3.8 assists. But he's already missed 14 games this season, including the previous three contests because of Plantar Fasciitis in his left foot. Utah could have used him […]

Jalen Johnson Remains Out On Saturday

Atlanta Hawks forward Jalen Johnson (shoulder) won't play on Saturday against the Rockets. Initially, his right shoulder inflammation wasn't too concerning for fantasy managers. However, Johnson will miss a fourth consecutive game on Saturday, so most are hoping he won't be on the shelf much longer. It's unfortunate, especially since the 23-year-old is averaging career-highs […]

Trae Young Probable Versus Houston

Atlanta Hawks guard Trae Young (Achilles) is expected to suit up on Saturday against Houston. The right Achilles Tendinitis is nothing new, so he should be out there barring a setback. The 26-year-old hasn't had his most efficient season, averaging 22.5 points and shooting 33.9% from behind the arc. Fortunately, he's at least made up […]

Tari Eason Not Expected To Face The Hawks

Houston Rockets forward Tari Eason (leg) is doubtful for Saturday's game against the Hawks. The 23-year-old has missed the last 11 games. Head coach Ime Udoka recently indicated Eason was close to returning to the court. However, Udoka added that the team wanted to remain cautious, especially at this point in the year. With Jabari […]

Nikola Jokic Will Play On Friday Night

Denver Nuggets center Nikola Jokic (illness) will play on Friday night versus Brooklyn. The multi-time MVP missed the previous two games because of an illness. However, after riding a questionable designation, fantasy managers figured he'd be back for this one after he went through pre-game warmups. As expected, Jokic should be added back to fantasy […]

Alexandre Sarr Ready To Face Bulls

Washington Wizards forward/center Alexandre Sarr (illness) will be active against Chicago on Friday. He has shaken off an illness to return from a one-game absence. Sarr's return will likely send Jonas Valanciunas back to the bench, but he might still play an important role in the contest, as the Wizards will need a big body […]

Paul George Will Play Against Pelicans

Philadelphia 76ers guard/forward Paul George (groin) will play against New Orleans on Friday. He has been upgraded from probable to available ahead of tip-off. The former Clippers star, who returns from a one-game absence, will start the contest with Tyrese Maxey, Kelly Oubre Jr., Caleb Martin, and Guerschon Yabusele. George, Maxey, and Oubre Jr. should […]

Khris Middleton Available For Friday's Matchup With Orlando

Eric Nehm of The Athletic reports that Milwaukee Bucks forward Khris Middleton (ankle) is available for Friday's matchup with the Orlando Magic.

Trayce Jackson-Davis Good To Go Versus Pacers

Golden State Warriors center Trayce Jackson-Davis (eye) will suit up on Friday against Indiana. He was initially listed as questionable for the game due to a left eye contusion, but the team has upgraded Jackson-Davis to available.

Giannis Antetokounmpo Active On Friday

According to Eric Nehm of The Athletic, Milwaukee Bucks forward Giannis Antetokounmpo (knee) is active for Friday's matchup with the Orlando Magic. The 30-year-old will play in his sixth consecutive contest despite dealing with right patella tendinopathy. Antetokounmpo will have a full workload during Friday's contest and fantasy managers know by now that the superstar forward […]

Moses Moody Returns To Warriors Lineup Friday

Golden State Warriors guard/forward Moses Moody (knee) will be back in action on Friday against Indiana. He sat out the first leg of a back-to-back on Thursday versus Detroit due to a knee issue. Golden State has quite a few bodies missing on Friday, including Stephen Curry (knee) and Andrew Wiggins (personal), so we might […]

Tyrese Haliburton Upgraded To Available

Indiana Pacers point guard Tyrese Haliburton (ankle) will be in the lineup on Friday against Golden State. He has been upgraded from questionable to available. Haliburton will look to bag a second consecutive double-double on Friday against a depleted Warriors team. Indiana is considered an 11-point favorite for the contest, meaning there is a high […]

Damian Lillard Available For Friday

Eric Nehm of The Athletic reports that Milwaukee Bucks guard Damian Lillard (calf) will play against the Orlando Magic on Friday despite dealing with a left knee contusion. The 34-year-old veteran won't have any restrictions placed on him, as he collected 26 points, five rebounds, and eight assists across 35 minutes in the Bucks' 121-105 win over […]

Dejounte Murray Active On Friday

New Orleans Pelicans guard Dejounte Murray (elbow, shin) will play on Friday against Philadelphia. Murray was initially regarded as questionable for the game due to shin and elbow ailments.

Myles Turner Upgraded To Available

According to Alex Golden of the Setting the Pace podcast, Indiana Pacers center Myles Turner (illness) has been upgraded to available to play against the Golden State Warriors. Turner was listed on the injury report earlier in the day due to dealing with an illness. The 28-year-old will go up against a banged-up Golden State Warriors […]

Kyle Lowry Remains Out On Friday

Philadelphia 76ers guard Kyle Lowry (hip) will miss his third straight game on Friday against the New Orleans Pelicans due to soreness in his right hip. Lowry's next opportunity to return to the floor is versus the Magic on Sunday. While the 38-year-old is sidelined, the Sixers must lean heavily on Tyrese Maxey. Reggie Jackson, Eric Gordon, and Jeff […]

Zion Williamson Suspended For One Game

According to Shams Charania, New Orleans Pelicans forward Zion Williamson (suspension) won't suit up against the 76ers due to being suspended one game for violating team policies. Williamson's next opportunity to return to the floor is on Sunday against Boston. Herbert Jones (shoulder) will also be missing in action. With Williamson and Jones sidelined, Jeremiah Robinson-Earl, Javonte Green, and Brandon […]

Paolo Banchero Set To Return Against Milwaukee

The Orlando Magic announced that Orlando Magic forward Paolo Banchero (oblique) is expected to make his return on Friday against the Milwaukee Bucks. Banchero has missed the last 34 contests due to a right oblique strain. Fantasy managers need to be aware that while the 22-year-old should jump back into the Magic's starting five, his minutes will […]

Aaron Gordon Doubtful On Friday

Denver Nuggets forward Aaron Gordon (calf) is listed as doubtful for Friday's matchup with the Brooklyn Nets. Gordon has been out eight consecutive contests due to a calf issue. If he is unavailable for this evening his next opportunity to suit up comes on Sunday against the Mavs. The 29-year-old has played well this season, but […]

Myles Turner Questionable Friday With Illness

Indiana Pacers center Myles Turner (illness) has been listed on the injury report as questionable while he deals with an illness. If he's able to give it a go, he'll go up against a banged-up Golden State Warriors team who will be down Draymond Green (back), Jonathan Kuminga (ankle), and maybe Trayce Jackson-Davis (eye - […]

Draymond Green Ruled Out Against Pacers

Golden State Warriors forward/center Draymond Green (back) has been ruled out for Friday's game against the Indiana Pacers due to a back injury. The veteran is likely receiving some rest in the second half of their back-to-back after posting seven points, five rebounds, four assists, one steal, and three blocks on Thursday. With Jonathan Kuminga […]
