Nick Richards Listed As Questionable For Saturday

Charlotte Hornets center Nick Richards is listed as questionable for Saturday's game against the Cleveland Cavaliers due to an ankle injury.

If Richards […]

Zach Collins Makes Fourth Start Of The Campaign

San Antonio Spurs forward/center Zach Collins will re-enter the starting lineup on Friday against Sacramento. He will replace Jeremy Sochan, who filled in for Victor Wembanyama (back) on Thursday. Sochan has just returned from injury, and it looks like the team wants to manage his load after he had a 36-minute outing Thursday night against […]

Andrew Nembhard Active Versus Bulls

Indiana Pacers guard Andrew Nembhard (knee) will play against Chicago on Friday. He's back in the lineup after missing Wednesday's loss to Brooklyn. Nembhard only recently returned from a 12-game absence and has been far from his best in the couple of outings he's had. Fantasy managers should tame their expectations regarding Nembhard. Quenton Jackson […]

Devin Vassell Sits Out Friday's Game

San Antonio Spurs guard/forward Devin Vassell (foot) will exit the lineup on Friday against Sacramento. This is the second leg of a back-to-back for the Spurs, and Vassell will be rested for the contest as he continues to manage a right foot injury.

Victor Wembanyama Remains Out On Friday

San Antonio Spurs center Victor Wembanyama (back) will remain sidelined on Friday against Sacramento. A back problem will keep the French phenom out for a second consecutive contest after he was labeled as a game-time decision earlier in the evening. Jeremy Sochan moved to the first unit as Wembanyama's replacement on Thursday against Chicago, with […]

Khris Middleton Officially Active On Friday

Milwaukee Bucks guard/forward Khris Middleton (ankle) is officially good to go for his season debut on Friday versus Boston. The team has upgraded him from probable to available. He will come off the bench in his first game since May. It will likely take some time before Middleton is fully up to speed, so fantasy […]

Taurean Prince Available Versus Celtics

Milwaukee Bucks forward Taurean Prince (illness) will play against Boston on Friday. He was initially iffy for the contest due to an illness. Prince has recently had a productive spell with the Bucks, scoring in double figures five times in the past six games. He's shot an amazing 16-for-23 from behind the three-point line during […]

Josh Giddey To Suit Up On Friday

Chicago Bulls guard Josh Giddey (foot) is active ahead of Friday's game against the Indiana Pacers. Giddey appears ready to play after being a late addition to the injury report due to right foot soreness. Giddey was quiet on Wednesday, but finished with a triple-double during Monday's contest.

Zach LaVine To Play Versus Pacers

Chicago Bulls guard Zach LaVine (back) is available ahead of Friday's game against the Indiana Pacers.

This season, LaVine is averaging 21.3 […]

Anthony Davis Cleared To Play On Friday

Los Angeles Lakers forward/center Anthony Davis (foot) will take the court on Friday against Atlanta. He has been upgraded from probable to available.

LeBron James Good To Go Against Hawks

Los Angeles Lakers forward LeBron James (foot) will be active against Atlanta on Friday. The NBA's all-time leading scorer picked up a questionable tag ahead of the contest but has now been cleared to play.

Matas Buzelis Cleared For Friday

Chicago Bulls forward Matas Buzelis (nose) has been upgraded to available ahead of Friday's game against the Indiana Pacers. The rookie forward suffered a nose contusion and is likely going to wear a mask because of it. He scored 20 points during Monday's game against the Brooklyn Nets. Despite that, fantasy managers shouldn't expect too […]

Andre Drummond Upgraded To Available

Philadelphia 76ers center Andre Drummond (ankle) will suit up against Orlando on Friday. The 31-year-old rebounding machine will return from a two-game absence. With the 76ers frontcourt battling injuries, Drummond has carved out a decent role in the rotation. He has averaged 8.1 points and 8.2 rebounds with 1.3 steals in 20.4 minutes this season. […]

Coby White Will Play On Friday

Chicago Bulls guard Coby White (ankle) is available ahead of Friday's game against the Indiana Pacers. White is back in the mix after missing each of the last two games due to a sprained ankle.

Giannis Antetokounmpo Active Friday

Milwaukee Bucks forward/center Giannis Antetokounmpo (knee) is ready to face Boston on Friday. Per Eric Nehm of The Athletic, Bucks head coach Doc Rivers has confirmed that Antetokounmpo will play. The former MVP carried a probable tag on the injury report, but that's been a normal sight this season. Antetokounmpo turned 30 on Friday, and […]

Lonzo Ball Available On Friday

Chicago Bulls guard Lonzo Ball (knee) is available ahead of Friday's game against the Indiana Pacers. As expected, Ball is back in the mix after sitting out of Wednesday's game for rest purposes.

Jonathan Isaac Won't Play On Friday

Orlando Magic forward Jonathan Isaac (hamstring) has been ruled out ahead of Friday's game against the Philadelphia 76ers. Isaac was a late addition to the injury report due to hamstring soreness.

Toronto Raptors center Jakob Poeltl (illness) is listed as questionable for Saturday's game against the Dallas Mavericks.

Aaron Gordon Considered Probable Against The Wizards

Denver Nuggets forward Aaron Gordon (calf) is listed as probable for Saturday's match-up against the Washington Wizards. Gordon has appeared in three straight contests since returning from a 10-game absence due to a right calf strain and is likely to suit up for a fourth. The 29-year-old has been effective in recent outings, especially on […]

Jimmy Butler Considered Probable For Saturday

Miami Heat forward Jimmy Butler (knee) is listed as probable for Saturday's game against the Phoenix Suns. Butler recently missed a game due to right knee soreness but returned Wednesday against the Los Angeles Lakers, contributing 17 points, nine rebounds, five assists, two steals, and one block. Despite being back on the injury report, the […]

Trae Young Good To Go Versus The Lakers

Atlanta Hawks guard Trae Young (Achilles) will play in Friday's game versus the Los Angeles Lakers. He was listed as probable, so most had already planned on his availability for this one. The 26-year-old hasn't played the best this season, averaging 20.7 points, the second-lowest of his career. He's also shooting a career-low 30.6% from […]

Jalen Brunson Questionable For Saturday

New York Knicks guard Jalen Brunson (back) is dealing with a lower back contusion and is listed as questionable for Saturday's game against the Detroit Pistons. The 28-year-old has yet to miss a game this season, but his potential absence could open up opportunities for Miles McBride and Tyler Kolek. Brunson has been instrumental for […]

Jordan Clarkson Out Again On Friday

Utah Jazz guard Jordan Clarkson (foot) remains sidelined while dealing with plantar fasciitis in his left foot. This will be the sixth consecutive game he's missed with the issue, but he's only been receiving around 26 minutes per contest when he's healthy. While he's out, Collin Sexton (finger) and Keyonte George will continue to see […]

Collin Sexton Available On Friday Against Trail Blazers

Scoot Henderson Tagged As Questionable On Friday

Portland Trail Blazers guard Scoot Henderson (quad) is dealing with a quad contusion and is considered questionable for the team's Friday night matchup with the Utah Jazz. The second-year point guard has missed the last three consecutive games with the same issue. Unfortunately, he hasn't seen as much playing time as his rookie season, but […]

Jayson Tatum Will Suit Up Against Bucks

Boston Celtics forward Jayson Tatum (knee) will suit up on Friday against the Milwaukee Bucks despite originally being listed as questionable. The superstar wing is listed with right patella tendinopathy, but the Celtics usually have a longer injury report when it comes to back-to-backs. Fantasy managers will want to check the injury report again on […]

Al Horford Available Against Bucks On Friday

Boston Celtics center Al Horford (toe) has been upgraded from questionable to available against the Milwaukee Bucks on Friday. Since this is the first half of the team's back-to-back, it's safe to assume that Horford will play Friday and rest on Saturday. Adding to that notion is the fact that Kristaps Porzingis (leg) has been […]
