Franz Wagner Out Again On Sunday

Orlando Magic forward Franz Wagner (ankle) is out again for Sunday's game against Atlanta. The 22-year-old tweaked his ankle in Wednesday's double-overtime meeting with the Sacramento Kings and didn't play on Friday versus Denver. Chuma Okeke got the start in his place, finishing with seven rebounds, three points, one steal, and one block. Of course, […]

Goga Bitadze Questionable Versus Atlanta

Orlando Magic center Goga Bitadze (illness) remains questionable ahead of Sunday's game against the Atlanta Hawks. The big man has been under the weather, and he missed Friday's meeting with the Denver Nuggets. Wendell Carter Jr. (knee) was also unavailable, so Moritz Wagner moved into the starting lineup. He played well, amassing 19 points, 11 […]

Shaedon Sharpe Won't Have A Minutes Cap On Sunday

Portland Trail Blazers guard Shaedon Sharpe will see a full workload in Sunday's matchup with the Brooklyn Nets. The 20-year-old is averaging 16.3 points, 5.1 rebounds, and 3.0 assists this season, a significant improvement from the 2022-23 campaign, his rookie season. But he battled a groin injury at the end of December, keeping him off […]

Anfernee Simons To Log Full Workload Against Brooklyn

Portland Trail Blazers guard Anfernee Simons won't face a minutes cap in Sunday's meeting with the Brooklyn Nets. The 24-year-old missed three games because of an illness but returned for the January 3 matchup with the Dallas Mavericks, the first of consecutive games between the teams. However, he was limited to 27 minutes or fewer […]

The NFL is still dominating Sundays, so the college kids are forced to take it easy a little bit. DraftKings didn't make it easier on us as they left the early Penn State vs. Michigan game off the slate. No bueno, guys. Come on. A noon start time isn't going to kill us even when […]

Eric Gordon May Miss Another Game

Phoenix Suns guard Eric Gordon (knee) is questionable for Sunday's game versus the Grizzlies. The veteran has played relatively well during the 2023-24 campaign, averaging 13.6 points and shooting 40.9% from behind the arc. Unfortunately, he missed Friday's win over Miami because of a sore right knee. Nevertheless, there's a chance for Gordon to remain […]

Kevin Durant Might Return Against Memphis

Phoenix Suns forward Kevin Durant (hamstring) is questionable ahead of Sunday's contest versus the Memphis Grizzlies. The veteran has stayed relatively healthy for most of the season. But he's missed the last three games because of a strained hamstring. That said, he is averaging some of the best numbers of his career this season, logging […]

Alec Burks Probable Against The Defending Champs

Detroit Pistons guard Alec Burks (hamstring) is expected to play on Sunday versus the Denver Nuggets. Burks has slowed down since averaging 15 points per game in October. However, he scored at least 21 points or more in the previous two games leading up to Friday's loss to the Warriors, so there may be something […]

Richaun Holmes Not Expected To Play On Sunday

Dallas Mavericks center Richaun Holmes (personal) is doubtful ahead of Sunday's matchup with the Minnesota Timberwolves. The 30-year-old has missed the last two games, so it appears he's moving toward another absence. That said, Holmes has rarely seen the floor this season, averaging 3.8 rebounds and 3.4 points in 10.6 minutes per contest. He could […]

Grant Williams May Not Play On Sunday

Dallas Mavericks forward Grant Williams (ankle) is questionable for Sunday's game versus the Timberwolves. He's dealing with a sprained right ankle, keeping him out of the lineup in Friday's win over the Portland Trail Blazers. Luka Doncic (ankle) didn't play in that game, either, so Williams could have gotten more involved offensively. At any rate, […]

Dereck Lively II Doubtful On Sunday

Dallas Mavericks center Dereck Lively II (ankle) isn't expected to suit up for Sunday's game versus the Minnesota Timberwolves. The rookie has played well this season, averaging 8.7 points, 7.6 rebounds, and 1.4 blocks in 29 appearances. However, he's been battling a sprained ankle, an injury he sustained versus the Trail Blazers on Wednesday evening. […]

Luka Doncic Questionable Versus Minnesota

Dallas Mavericks guard Luka Doncic (ankle) is questionable for Sunday's game against the visiting Timberwolves. He didn't suit up on Friday night versus Portland because of right ankle swelling. As a result, Kyrie Irving led the way offensively, finishing with a game-high 24 points, adding nine rebounds, five assists, two steals, and two blocks. Additionally, […]

Rui Hachimura Still Out On Sunday

Los Angeles Lakers forward Rui Hachimura (calf) remains out on Sunday against the Clippers. He's dealing with a calf strain, an injury he picked up during the New Year's Eve meeting with the New Orleans Pelicans. The Lakers have struggled since winning the inaugural NBA Cup, and it hasn't helped the team has been without […]

Ja Morant Questionable For Sunday

Memphis Grizzlies guard Ja Morant (shoulder) is listed as questionable for Sunday's game against the Phoenix Suns. Morant is dealing with right shoulder soreness, but has only missed one game since he returned from his suspension. Vince Williams Jr. (foot) started in that one game Morant missed, but he's also questionable for Sunday. That means, […]

D'Angelo Russell Tagged As Questionable For Sunday

Los Angeles Lakers guard D'Angelo Russell (tailbone) is listed as questionable ahead of Sunday's game against the Los Angeles Clippers. Russell has missed the last three games as he works his way back from a tailbone contusion. His absence has opened up a door for Max Christie to have a bigger role in the rotation. […]

LeBron James Holds Questionable Tag For Sunday

Los Angeles Lakers forward LeBron James (ankle) is currently listed as questionable ahead of Sunday's game against the Los Angeles Clippers. The superstar forward seems to be a regular on the injury report now. It's worth noting that James has only missed three games all season, so it takes quite a bit for him to […]

Anthony Davis Listed As Probable For Sunday

Los Angeles Lakers center Anthony Davis (ankle) is listed as probable for Sunday's game against the Los Angeles Clippers. Fantasy managers shouldn't be too worried as Davis has become a regular on the injury report. Despite that, Davis hasn't missed a game since December 15, so there is a good chance he'll be out there […]

Jonathan Kuminga Listed As Questionable For Sunday

Golden State Warriors forward Jonathan Kuminga (toe) is listed as questionable for Sunday's game against the Toronto Raptors. Kuminga came into Friday's game with the same issue, but managed to log in 36 minutes during that contest. It's worth noting that Kuminga was probable ahead of that game, but has since then been downgraded to […]

Kristaps Porzingis Uncertain To Return On Saturday

Boston Celtics center Kristaps Porzingis (eye) is considered questionable to return to Saturday's game against the Indiana Pacers. The star big man was poked in the eye during the first quarter and has yet to return to the contest. The expectation is that Al Horford will see a bigger role in the second half, assuming […]

Draymond Green Reinstated After 12-Game Absence

Golden State Warriors forward Draymond Green (suspension) was reinstated by the league on Saturday. The veteran sat out 12 games, during which he underwent counseling and routine "progress meetings" with the team and league representatives. ESPN's Adrian Wojnarowski reported it will take him "approximately a week to ramp up," so fantasy managers may not see […]

Joel Embiid Now Questionable On Saturday

Philadelphia 76ers center Joel Embiid (knee) is now listed as questionable ahead of Saturday's matchup with the Utah Jazz. The reigning MVP injured his knee in Saturday's loss to the New York Knicks, so it was surprising when he began the day without an injury designation. Head coach Nick Nurse indicated Embiid is a game-time […]

Tobias Harris Sidelined Versus Utah

Philadelphia 76ers forward Tobias Harris (ankle) won't play on Saturday versus the Utah Jazz. He suffered a left ankle injury in Friday's loss to the Knicks and finished with a horrendous five points in 24 minutes. There's a chance Harris' absence extends a few more games moving ahead, depending on how severe the ailment is. […]

Joel Embiid Not Listed On The Injury Report

Philadelphia 76ers center Joel Embiid doesn't carry an injury designation ahead of Saturday's matchup with the Utah Jazz. The reigning MVP had another impressive outing in the loss to the Knicks on Friday and extended his 30-point or more scoring streak to 16 straight games. However, he suffered a knee injury during the contest, which […]

Tobias Harris Exits With Sore Ankle

Philadelphia 76ers forward Tobias Harris was limited to 24 minutes on Friday versus the Knicks, exiting the game in the third quarter with a sore left ankle.

New Orleans Pelicans forward/center Zion Williamson suffered a right leg contusion against the Clippers on Friday and didn't finish the game.
