Simone Fontecchio Out For Friday’s Game

Detroit Pistons forward Simone Fontecchio (toe) will not play in Friday's game against the Washington Wizards because of a toe contusion.

With Fontecchio sidelined, Evan Fournier and Troy Brown Jr. are candidates to see […]

Jamal Murray Questionable For Friday

Denver Nuggets guard Jamal Murray (knee) is questionable for Friday's game against the Minnesota Timberwolves. Murray has missed the last three games with right knee inflammation. Fantasy owners will have to sweat it out again with Murray's status up in the air, trending toward a game-time decision. Reggie Jackson is the biggest benefactor, as he's […]

Shai Gilgeous-Alexander Doubtful For Friday Night

Oklahoma City Thunder guard Shai Gilgeous-Alexander (quadriceps) is doubtful ahead of Friday's showdown with the Suns. He injured his right quad during a recent game against the Utah Jazz but played through it. However, he finally missed a game, sitting out Wednesday's overtime loss to the Houston Rockets. Cason Wallace got the start in his […]

Quentin Grimes Ruled Out Friday

Simone Fontecchio (toe) will also be unavailable. Additionally, Cade Cunningham (knee/rest) and Jaden Ivey (knee) are listed as questionable. With several Pistons potentially sidelined, Marcus Sasser […]

LeBron James Questionable Against Indiana

Los Angeles Lakers forward LeBron James (ankle) is questionable heading toward Friday's matchup with the Pacers. He's been dealing with a left ankle injury for months and has missed time because of it. The 39-year-old recently sat out Tuesday's double-overtime win over the Milwaukee Bucks. Yet, James returned on Wednesday versus Memphis and ended the […]

Cade Cunningham Listed As Questionable For Friday

Detroit Pistons guard Cade Cunningham (knee) is in danger of missing Friday's game against the Washington Wizards after being listed as questionable because of left knee injury management. The 22-year-old returned to action on Wednesday against the Minnesota Timberwolves after missing the previous two games because of the same injury. Cunningham logged 29 minutes and […]

Nikola Jokic Probable Against Minnesota

Denver Nuggets center Nikola Jokic (back/hip) is listed as probable heading into Friday's game against the Minnesota Timberwolves. The two-time MVP is dealing with hip and back inflammation, but he has played the last two games after sitting out one. Jokic is favored to win another MVP this season, and the Nuggets are fighting for […]

Taj Gibson Out Friday Against Wizards

Detroit Pistons forward Taj Gibson (hamstring) is unavailable for Friday's game against the Washington Wizards. Gibson has been suffering from right-hamstring soreness and will miss his sixth consecutive contest. Currently, there is no timetable for when he will return. The veteran forward last played on March 18 against Boston, where he posted just three points, […]

Anthony Davis Questionable Versus Indiana

Los Angeles Lakers forward/center Anthony Davis (knee) is questionable for Friday's showdown with the Indiana Pacers. Despite being frequently mentioned on the league's official injury report, A.D. has only missed five games this season. He logged 52 minutes in Tuesday's double-overtime win over the Milwaukee Bucks, ending the night with a game-high 34 points and […]

Dejounte Murray Available Versus Boston

Atlanta Hawks guard Dejounte Murray (back) will play against the Celtics. The lower back soreness is nothing new, so he wasn't expected to sit this one out, considering Atlanta is trying to remain in the Play-In conversation. The 27-year-old has been on a roll, averaging 25.8 points, 9.2 assists, and 2.3 steals in March, making […]

Xavier Tillman Sr. Cleared For Thursday Night

Boston Celtics forward/center Xavier Tillman Sr. (knee) will play on Thursday against Atlanta. He wasn't available when these clubs met on Monday night because of knee swelling and was questionable heading into this one. But he's averaged just 3.5 points and 3.3 rebounds in 11 games with the Celtics, so his presence won't mean much […]

Al Horford Won't Face The Hawks

Boston Celtics forward Al Horford (toe) won't play in Thursday's rematch against the Hawks. He continues to be bothered by a toe sprain. However, the 37-year-old logged 36 minutes in Monday's loss to Atlanta, so it's surprising he's unavailable. Fortunately, the C's will get back Jrue Holiday (shoulder) from a five-game absence. But without Horford […]

Jrue Holiday Available On Thursday

Boston Celtics guard Jrue Holiday (shoulder) will play on Thursday against the Hawks. The 33-year-old has been sidelined for the last five games because of an AC joint sprain and was listed as questionable for the rematch versus Atlanta. However, he's good to go and won't have any restrictions, which is certainly good news for […]

Keita Bates-Diop To Miss Rest Of Season

Brooklyn Nets forward Keita Bates-Diop (shin) will be out for the rest of the year, the team has announced. He has undergone a procedure to address a stress fracture in his right tibia and will need to recover for a month before resuming on-court activities. The Nets finish their regular-season schedule on April 14 against […]

Dyson Daniels Remains Out On Thursday But Nearing Return

New Orleans Pelicans guard Dyson Daniels (knee) will be out for a 21st straight game on Thursday versus Milwaukee, but he could be back in the lineup soon after playing in the G League.

LaMelo Ball Ruled Out For Rest Of 2023-24

Charlotte Hornets point guard LaMelo Ball (ankle) will miss the rest of the season, according to ESPN's Adrian Wojnarowski. The talented playmaker has been on the shelf for 29 games already and will remain out for the final couple of weeks. After playing only 36 games last season, Ball will be forced to settle with […]

Jose Alvarado Questionable To Face Milwaukee

New Orleans Pelicans point guard Jose Alvarado (hip) has been tagged as questionable for Thursday's game against Milwaukee. He had to exit Tuesday's clash with OKC due to a hip problem, and the same ailment might keep him off the court entirely on Thursday. Alvarado's potential absence could help Jordan Hawkins re-emerge in the rotation. […]

Jaden Springer Considered Questionable

Boston Celtics guard Jaden Springer (knee) has been labeled as questionable for Thursday's matchup against the Hawks. The youngster was recalled from the G League on Wednesday, but he's troubled by a left knee injury and might be unavailable for Thursday's game. It won't be a big loss for the C's, as Springer has been […]

Xavier Tillman Sr. Questionable Thursday

Boston Celtics forward/center Xavier Tillman Sr. (knee) is questionable for Thursday's matchup against Atlanta. A swollen left knee might keep him out of action for a second consecutive game. Tillman Sr. is logging 15.5 minutes per game as a backup big in Boston. He's registered 3.5 points and 3.3 rebounds in 11 games with the […]

Gabe Vincent Expected To Return To Action On Sunday

According to The Athletic's Shams Charania, Los Angeles Lakers guard Gabe Vincent (knee) is expected to rejoin the lineup on Sunday versus Brooklyn.

NBA DFS: Top Daily Fantasy Expert Picks for DraftKings, FanDuel (3/28/24)

After a few massive slates, I am tasked with the super small one! These two game slates are always interesting, there is a very limited pool of players to choose from so getting value can be extremely tough. I will do my best to get you guys narrowed down in your lineups to make it […]

CBB DFS: NCAA Tournament DraftKings Daily Fantasy College Basketball Picks - Today's Top Lineups (3/28/24)

The NIT Final Four is set, but more importantly, the NCAA Tournament is back on! We whittled it down from 68 teams to 16 and this year's second weekend is littered with chalk.

NCAA Second Chance Tournament Challenge - 2024 March Madness Brackets

Did Kentucky lay waste to your brackets? How about the Auburn team that was loved by the NET rankings? Maybe the BYU team that the metrics loved? I missed all of the Final Four teams from last season from the second chance bracket. There haven't been as many crazy upsets this year with all of […]

Al Horford Back On The Injury Report

Boston Celtics forward/center Al Horford (toe) is in danger of missing Wednesday's rematch against the Hawks. He is questionable because of a left big toe sprain, an injury he's been battling for the last week. But the 37-year-old has mostly played through the pain and logged 36 minutes when these clubs met on Monday night. […]

Derrick White Off The Injury Report

Boston Celtics guard Derrick White isn't listed on the league's official injury report heading toward Thursday's rematch with the Hawks. White wasn't in the lineup when these clubs met on Monday because of a hand issue. Yet, this injury isn't new, so he likely just got the night off to take a breather. Sam Hauser […]

Aaron Gordon Cleared To Face Phoenix

Denver Nuggets forward Aaron Gordon (foot) will play on Thursday against Phoenix. He's been battling a right plantar fascia strain for at least a few games. However, the 28-year-old finally sat out, missing Monday's win over the Memphis Grizzlies. Christian Braun got the start and played exceptionally well, finishing with 17 points off 8-for-10 shooting […]

Michael Porter Jr. Good To Go Wednesday

Denver Nuggets forward Michael Porter Jr. (illness) will play on Wednesday against Phoenix. He's made appearances on the injury report of late because of a non-COVID-illness. Yet, it hasn't cost him any time. However, the 25-year-old has combined for 23 points in the Nuggets' previous two games, so he may not be worth rostering in […]

Nikola Jokic Playing Against Phoenix

Denver Nuggets center Nikola Jokic (back, hip) will play on Wednesday versus the Suns. He didn't suit up for Saturday's win over the Portland Trail Blazers because of back and hip soreness. However, the multi-time MVP returned for Monday's meeting with Memphis, finishing two assists shy of a triple-double. Jokic has averaged 23.0 points, 10.5 […]
