Miles Bridges Resumes On-Court Activity

Charlotte Hornets forward Miles Bridges (knee) has resumed on-court activity. He missed a fourth consecutive game on Wednesday versus Miami due to a bone bruise on his right knee and remains without a timetable for his return, but this signals a significant step in the right direction for Bridges. Tidjane Salaun has played a bigger […]

Day'Ron Sharpe Expected To Make Season Debut Next Week

Brooklyn Nets center Day'Ron Sharpe (hamstring) is edging close to his season debut. Brooklyn announced on Wednesday that Sharpe has continued full on-court team activity and is expected to return to action next week. Sharpe has missed the first month of the season with a left hamstring strain. His return will give the Nets a […]

Noah Clowney To Be Re-Evaluated In Two Weeks

Brooklyn Nets forward/center Noah Clowney (ankle) has to sit out multiple weeks of action. He sprained his left ankle last weekend and will be re-evaluated in two weeks. The injury has already cost Clowney two games. Coming off the bench, Clowney has notched 7.5 points and 3.1 rebounds in 16.5 minutes. Clowney's absence is a […]

Dalen Terry Injures Right Ankle Wednesday

Chicago Bulls guard/forward Dalen Terry injured his right ankle in Wednesday's 133-119 loss to Orlando. He played only a couple of minutes. Terry has provided 4.4 points with 1.5 rebounds and 1.1 assists in 13.3 minutes off the bench this season. Chicago only recently lost Patrick Williams (foot), giving Talen Horton-Tucker a chance to re-enter […]

Jalen Williams Sustains Eye Injury Versus Warriors

Oklahoma City Thunder forward/center Jalen Williams (eye) was limited to 18 minutes in Wednesday's 105-101 win over Golden State. Oklahoma's utility man was hit in his right eye in the second quarter. Before exiting the contest, Williams was on his way to another big performance, racking up 13 points, six rebounds, seven assists, two steals, […]

Bradley Beal Suffers New Injury

Phoenix Suns guard Bradley Beal (ankle, calf) couldn't complete Wednesday's matchup against Brooklyn. Beal played in his second game after returning from a calf injury and now hurt his left ankle.

Kyle Kuzma Injured On Wednesday Night

Washington Wizards forward Kyle Kuzma (rib) exited Wednesday's loss to the Los Angeles Clippers. He did not return. The 29-year-old wasn't on the court long, logging only eight minutes before calling it a night because of a rib sprain. But now the real question is if he'll be ready to go Saturday's game in Milwaukee. […]

Cam Thomas Sidelined 3-4 Weeks

Brooklyn Nets guard Cam Thomas (hamstring) could be sidelined for up to a month. The 23-year-old had 34 points in Sunday's win over the Sacramento Kings. However, he injured his hamstring in Monday's win over the Golden State Warriors. Thomas has had a career-year, averaging 24.7 points and shooting 38.9% from behind the arc. But […]

Nicolas Claxton Out Again On Wednesday

Brooklyn Nets center Nicolas Claxton (back) remains out for Wednesday's matchup with the Phoenix Suns. The 25-year-old entered the season burdened by a hamstring issue. However, a back injury will cause him to miss his second-consecutive game. With Dorian Finney-Smith (ankle) a game-time call and Noah Clowney (ankle) out, Ben Simmons should handle most of […]

Dalton Knecht Cleared To Suit Up Versus San Antonio

Los Angeles Lakers forward Dalton Knecht (quadriceps) will play on Wednesday evening versus the Spurs. The rookie entered this contest listed on the injury report because of a quad contusion. However, he's good to go. Knecht logged 19 minutes in Tuesday's loss to the Suns, scoring only seven points. With Cam Reddish (ankle) available, fantasy […]

Anthony Davis Good To Go Versus The Spurs

Los Angeles Lakers center Anthony Davis (foot) will play in Wednesday's matchup with the Spurs. AD is coming off another strong performance, accumulating 25 points, 15 boards, five assists, and four blocks in Tuesday's NBA Cup loss to the Suns. He was back on the injury report because of a nagging foot issue. But, as […]

Bradley Beal Will Warm Up, Still Questionable Against Brooklyn

Phoenix Suns guard Bradley Beal (calf) remains questionable for Wednesday's matchup with the Nets. He returned for Tuesday's win over the Los Angeles Lakers after missing time because of a calf injury. He played well, amassing 23 points while shooting 10-for-15 from the field (3-for-6 from deep). However, head coach Mike Budenholzer indicated the team […]

Kevin Durant Expected To Face His Former Team

According to Phoenix Suns head coach Mike Budenholzer, forward Kevin Durant (calf) is expected to play in Wednesday's meeting with the Nets. The veteran returned for Tuesday's win over the Lakers after missing seven games because of a calf injury. He played well, scoring 23 points in 30 minutes. With that in mind, there's a […]

John Collins Ruled Out Versus Denver

Utah Jazz forward/center John Collins (knee) won't play in Wednesday's game against the Nuggets. The veteran was initially labeled as questionable because of a knee contusion. Unfortunately, he was downgraded to out. The Jazz will be down some size versus Nikola Jokic, with Lauri Markkanen (personal) and Kyle Filipowski (leg) already ruled out. As a […]

Brandon Ingram Ruled Out On Wednesday

New Orleans Pelicans forward Brandon Ingram (calf) won't play in Wednesday's contest versus Toronto. The veteran is battling a sore calf, so he'll miss his second-straight game. Fortunately for New Orleans, Dejounte Murray (hand) is active after missing over a month, so that will help lessen the blow. There's also room for Javonte Green and […]

Dejounte Murray Officially Cleared To Play On Wednesday

New Orleans Pelicans guard Dejounte Murray (hand) is officially active for Wednesday's matchup versus the visiting Raptors. The 28-year-old logged 30 minutes in the opener against the Chicago Bulls. However, he fractured his hand and has been on the shelf ever since. With Brandon Ingram (calf), Jose Alvarado (hamstring), Zion Williamson (hamstring), and Trey Murphy […]

Klay Thompson Ruled Out Wednesday

Dallas Mavericks guard/forward Klay Thompson (foot) will sit out Wednesday against the New York Knicks. A left foot problem will take Thompson out of the lineup for the second time this season. With Thompson now unavailable, Naji Marshall will likely start. Marshall posted 22 points and grabbed six rebounds during Monday's 129-119 win over Atlanta. The 26-year-old […]

Scoot Henderson To Play On Wednesday

Portland Trail Blazers guard Scoot Henderson (back) is available ahead of Wednesday's game against the Indiana Pacers. Henderson is back in the mix following a three-game absence due to a back strain. He figures to resume his role as the primary backup point guard. Dalano Banton could see his value take a slight hit with […]

Deandre Ayton Returning On Wednesday

Portland Trail Blazers center Deandre Ayton (finger) is available ahead of Wednesday's game against the Indiana Pacers. Ayton is back in the mix following a seven-game absence due to a right finger contusion. The Blazers could use his help with the team banged up at the center spot right now. The expectation is that he […]

Lonzo Ball Available On Wednesday

Chicago Bulls guard Lonzo Ball (wrist) is available ahead of Wednesday's game against the Orlando Magic. Ball has been out since late October due to a right wrist sprain. That being said, Ball is going to be limited to around 15 minutes on Wednesday. The expectation is that the Bulls are going to ease Ball […]

Norman Powell Absent On Wednesday

Los Angeles Clippers forward Norman Powell (hamstring) has been ruled out ahead of Wednesday's game against the Washington Wizards. This marks the fifth game in a row that Powell has missed due to a left hamstring strain. It sounds like he's getting closer to a return, but he'll miss at least one more game. Amir […]

John Collins Listed As Questionable Wednesday

Utah Jazz forward John Collins (knee) is questionable for Wednesday's contest with the Denver Nuggets due to a knee contusion. With Lauri Markkanen (personal) and Kyle Filipowski (leg) already ruled out, the Jazz could be quite shorthanded if the 27-year-old can't play. However, if he can give it a go, Collins could have significant fantasy value as he […]

Steven Adams Ready To Go On Wednesday

Houston Rockets center Steven Adams (knee) has been removed from the injury report ahead of Wednesday's game against the Philadelphia 76ers. This is good news as Adams appears to be ready to return to the court after missing each of the last two games. He figures to continue serving as the primary backup center to […]

Brandon Ingram Unavailable On Wednesday

New Orleans Pelicans forward Brandon Ingram (calf) has been ruled out ahead of Wednesday's game against the Toronto Raptors. This marks the second game in a row that Ingram has been forced to miss due to right calf soreness. The expectation is that the Pelicans will use a committee approach to help fill the void. […]

LaMelo Ball Cleared For Wednesday

Charlotte Hornets guard LaMelo Ball (wrist) is available ahead of Wednesday's game against the Miami Heat. As expected, Ball will be ready to go after being listed as probable on the injury report. This is great news for fantasy managers as Ball has been playing at an unbelievable level lately. He has scored 35 points […]
