Franz Wagner Dealing With An Illness Monday

Orlando Magic forward Franz Wagner (illness) popped up on Monday's injury report later in the morning due to an illness. Right now, he's listed as questionable, but with the later addition to the injury report, his status is worth monitoring up until tip-off. If Wagner can't suit up, with Jonathan Isaac (hip) also listed as […]

Warriors "Bracing" For Stephen Curry To Miss Time

Golden State Warriors guard Stephen Curry (ankle) turned his ankle twice in the same game on Sunday. During the loss to the Los Angeles Clippers, the sharpshooter turned his ankle, returned to the game, and turned it again while making a move off-ball. He's set to undergo an MRI while ESPN reports that the team […]

Jonathan Isaac Questionable Again Monday

Orlando Magic forward Jonathan Isaac (hip) picks up another questionable tag for their Monday night matchup against the Indiana Pacers. The defensive-minded wing has missed each of the last two games after picking up the hip injury in the team's first game. The Magic have been erring on the side of caution with Isaac, so […]

Kelly Olynyk To Remain Absent Against Denver

Toronto Raptors forward/center Kelly Olynyk (back) won't suit up for Monday's contest versus the Nuggets. The veteran hasn't played this season due to a lumbar strain in his back. At this point, it's unknown when he'll be on the court. Jakob Poeltl will continue to handle most of the minutes underneath the basket. But until […]

Josh Hart May Miss Monday's Meeting With Cleveland

New York Knicks forward Josh Hart (ankle) is questionable for Monday's game versus the Cleveland Cavaliers. The 29-year-old has played well this season, averaging 16 points, seven rebounds, and three assists. Unfortunately, he's in danger of missing the meeting with the Cavs because of right ankle impingement. The Knicks already have depth issues as it […]

RJ Barrett Questionable Again For Monday Night

Toronto Raptors forward RJ Barrett (shoulder) is listed as questionable for Monday's game against the Denver Nuggets. The former Knick has battled an AC joint sprain since the preseason. Fortunately, he's inching closer toward his 2024-25 debut, which may realistically happen on Monday night. Immanuel Quickley (pelvis) is doubtful, so his absence could mean an […]

Kevin Love Still Out On Monday Night

Miami Heat forward/center Kevin Love (personal) won't play in Monday's contest versus Detroit. The veteran averaged 8.8 points, 6.1 rebounds, and 34.4% shooting last season. However, he has yet to make his 2024-25 debut due to personal reasons. While Love isn't an everyday fantasy starter for most, his absence may open the door for more […]

Sam Hauser Questionable To Meet The Bucks

Boston Celtics forward Sam Hauser (back) is questionable for Monday's matchup with the Milwaukee Bucks. Hauser began the 2024-25 campaign by scoring 10 points and pulling down five boards in the opening night win over the New York Knicks. Unfortunately, he's been sidelined since due to back pain. With that in mind, if Hauser misses […]

Ja Morant Picks Up Another Questionable Tag For Monday

Memphis Grizzlies guard Ja Morant (thigh) is questionable for Monday's clash with the Chicago Bulls. The 25-year-old carried the same injury designation ahead of Saturday's win over the Orlando Magic. However, he was on the floor and finished with a 16-point, 10-assist double-double. There's a good chance Morant will be out there against the Bulls. […]

Immanuel Quickley Doubtful For Monday

Toronto Raptors guard Immanuel Quickley (pelvic) is currently listed as doubtful ahead of Monday's game against the Denver Nuggets. It looks like Quickley is in danger of missing his third game in a row due to a right pelvic contusion. Davion Mitchell figures to remain in the starting five until Quickley is able to get […]

Nicolas Claxton To See More Minutes On Sunday

Brooklyn Nets center Nicolas Claxton (hamstring) will see increased minutes during Sunday's game against the Milwaukee Bucks, according to head coach Jordi Fernandez. Claxton has been eased back into action over the first two games of the season. He played 15 and 20 minutes over the first two contests. It sounds like he'll play more […]

Mo Bamba Remains Out On Sunday

Los Angeles Clippers center Mo Bamba (knee) has been ruled out ahead of Sunday's game against the Golden State Warriors. Bamba has yet to make his season debut as he continues to miss time due to left knee soreness. His next chance to suit up will be against the Portland Trail Blazers on Wednesday. Until […]

Jaylin Williams Won't Suit Up On Sunday

Oklahoma City Thunder forward Jaylin Williams (hamstring) is listed as out ahead of Sunday's game against the Atlanta Hawks. Williams has yet to make his season debut while he continues to deal with a right hamstring strain. His next chance to play would be against the San Antonio Spurs on Wednesday. Once healthy, Williams should […]

De'Andre Hunter Tagged As Questionable For Sunday

Atlanta Hawks forward De'Andre Hunter (knee) is listed as questionable ahead of Sunday's game against the Oklahoma City Thunder. Hunter is dealing with right knee inflammation on the same knee that he had treatment on last season. The 26-year-old is off to a hot start as he recorded 24 points with seven rebounds and three […]

Bogdan Bogdanovic Out Again On Sunday

Atlanta Hawks guard Bogdan Bogdanovic (hamstring) won't play on Sunday against OKC. The veteran sharpshooter logged 28 minutes in the opener versus Brooklyn, finishing with eight points and two blocks. Unfortunately, he's battling a hamstring issue, so he'll miss his second contest of the 2024-25 campaign. Onyeka Okongwu has been handling most of the minutes […]

Khris Middleton Remains Out On Sunday

Milwaukee Bucks forward Khris Middleton (ankles) remains out for Sunday's meeting with the Brooklyn Nets. He continues to work his way back from offseason ankle surgeries. However, the veteran still isn't ready to go, and the Bucks don't plan on rushing him back. Of course, Giannis Antetokounmpo will lead the offense. But until Middleton returns […]

Giannis Antetokounmpo Probable Versus The Nets

Milwaukee Bucks forward Giannis Antetokounmpo (knee) is probable for Sunday's game in Brooklyn. The multi-time MVP appeared on the injury report for patella tendinitis ahead of both of Milwaukee's games this season. However, it didn't keep him off the floor. As usual, Antetokounmpo is having a quality season thus far, averaging 31.5 points, 12.5 rebounds, […]

RJ Barrett Still Out On Saturday

Toronto Raptors forward RJ Barrett (shoulder) won't suit up for Saturday's game against Minnesota. He hasn't played yet this season because of an AC joint sprain. However, he's moving in the right direction, so fantasy managers could see him on the floor in the next few games. With Immanuel Quickley (pelvis) also out, Scottie Barnes, […]

Josh Green Sidelined Against The Heat

Charlotte Hornets guard Josh Green (Achilles) won't suit up on Saturday against the Miami Heat. The 23-year-old made his 2024-25 debut on Friday versus the Hawks, finishing with five points, three boards, one steal, and one block in 18 minutes. However, he'll take the night off to rest. With Green sidelined, Tre Mann, who has […]

LaMelo Ball Cleared For Action On Saturday

Charlotte Hornets guard LaMelo Ball (tailbone) will play on Saturday versus Miami. The 23-year-old was questionable heading into this contest. However, he is good to go. Ball has played extremely well in Charlotte's first two games, averaging 34.0 points, 7.5 assists, 6.5 rebounds, and 50.0% shooting from deep. Ball's presence decreases the ceiling of Tre […]

Lonzo Ball Available Versus OKC

Chicago Bulls guard Lonzo Ball (injury maintenance) is available for Saturday's meeting with OKC. Ball played in his first game in years on Wednesday versus the Pelicans, amassing five points, four assists, and two rebounds in 14 minutes. But he didn't suit up on Friday against Milwaukee, the first of back-to-back contests. This will likely […]

Sam Hauser Out Again On Saturday

Boston Celtics forward Sam Hauser (back) won't play in Saturday's game against the Pistons. Hauser had 10 points and five boards in the opening night win over the New York Knicks. However, he'll now miss his second game of the 2024-25 campaign because of low back pain. Without Hauser, Payton Pritchard, coming off a 15-point […]

LaMelo Ball Questionable For Saturday Night

Charlotte Hornets guard LaMelo Ball (tailbone) is questionable for Saturday's matchup with the Miami Heat. The 23-year-old has been on fire this season, averaging 34.0 points, 7.5 assists, 6.5 rebounds, and 50.0% shooting from behind the arc. Unfortunately, he's in danger of missing Saturday's contest. If that happens, it would be a tough blow for […]

Ja Morant Uncertain To Face Orlando

Memphis Grizzlies guard Ja Morant (thigh) is questionable for Saturday's matchup with the Orlando Magic. The 2019 No. 2 overall pick has played well in his first two appearances in 2024-25, averaging 23.0 points and 6.0 assists. But now Morant is in danger of missing the third game on the Grizzlies' schedule because of thigh […]

Klay Thompson Makes History in Mavs Debut with 6-for-10 Three Point Shooting

Klay Thompson played much of his prime years for the Golden State Warriors. He won four NBA championships alongside Steph Curry and Draymond Green. However, injuries got in the way, and Thompson's game saw a downhill trend. Most observers say it's time for the Warriors' golden trio to break up, and in the off-season, the […]

Zion Williamson On Minutes Restriction

New Orleans Pelicans forward Zion Williamson (illness) will be under a minutes restriction for Friday's game against the Portland Trail Blazers. The good news is that Williamson is available after sitting out the season opener. However, he still must not be feeling 100 percent considering the team is going to limit him here. Head coach […]
