Donovan Mitchell Returning Versus Orlando

Cleveland Cavaliers guard Donovan Mitchell (groin) will return from a two-game absence for Sunday's matchup with the Orlando Magic. The 28-year-old has battled a sore groin. However, it didn't stop the Cavaliers from extending their win streak to 16 games. De'Andre Hunter and Ty Jerome got some extra work while Mitchell was out, with Darius […]

Cole Anthony Back On Sunday

Orlando Magic guard Cole Anthony (toe) will play on Sunday versus the Cavs after missing the last two games because of a left great toe strain. Jalen Suggs (knee) has been on the shelf, so Anthony has handled things at the point guard position. The 24-year-old has played well for the most part, averaging 13.7 […]

Fantasy Basketball Waiver Wire Pickups and Streamers for Week 20 (2024-25): March 17 - March 23

The fantasy basketball playoffs are in full swing for many leagues and even the late-starters are set to begin this week. Frustration with players resting and schedules being tough to predict is mounting and I was a victim of it myself just this week with Utah and the Walker Kessler drama. My best advice is […]

RJ Barrett Listed As Questionable For Sunday

Toronto Raptors guard RJ Barrett (illness) is listed as questionable ahead of Sunday's game against the Portland Trail Blazers. Barrett appears to be dealing with a minor illness, so the team is going to wait and see how he feels on Sunday before making a final decision. Barrett looked a bit sluggish on Friday when […]

Immanuel Quickley Won't Play On Sunday

Toronto Raptors guard Immanuel Quickley (rest) has been ruled out ahead of Sunday's game against the Portland Trail Blazers. The Raptors aren't playing for anything at this point, so they aren't going to risk the health of their young guard. Quickley played on Friday and looked solid with 20 points, five rebounds, and five assists […]

Jerami Grant Unlikely To Play On Sunday

Portland Trail Blazers forward Jerami Grant (knee) is listed as doubtful ahead of Sunday's game against the Toronto Raptors. It appears Grant is in line to miss his third game in a row due to right knee tendinitis. The Blazers aren't exactly playing for much right now, so it's not shocking to see them continue […]

Marcus Smart Downgraded To Out

Washington Wizards guard Marcus Smart (illness) has been downgraded to out ahead of Sunday's game against the Denver Nuggets. Smart wasn't originally on the injury report, but it appears he came down with an illness ahead of tip-off. The Wizards will take the cautious approach and hold out Smart for at least one game. The […]

Anfernee Simons Tagged As Questionable For Sunday

Portland Trail Blazers guard Anfernee Simons (hand) is listed as questionable ahead of Sunday's game against the Toronto Raptors. It appears Simons is dealing with a minor hand injury, but it hasn't kept him out of action. In fact, Simons hasn't missed a game since mid-January, so he has been relatively healthy this season. Simons […]

Christian Braun Available On Saturday

Denver Nuggets guard Christian Braun (foot) is available ahead of Saturday's game against the Washington Wizards. Braun is dealing with a minor foot issue, but it isn't a big enough issue to force him to the sideline. The 23-year-old finished with 22 points, five rebounds, and six assists across 34 minutes on action on Friday. […]

Aaron Gordon Unavailable On Saturday

Denver Nuggets forward Aaron Gordon (calf, ankle) has been ruled out ahead of Saturday's game against the Washington Wizards. Gordon will take a seat here after suiting up on Friday. It sounds like the Nuggets are going to play it safe here and rest Gordon in the second leg of the back-to-back set. Gordon has […]

Jamal Murray Will Play On Saturday Night

Denver Nuggets guard Jamal Murray (knee) is cleared to play on Saturday against Washington. He popped up on the injury report late in the day because of left knee inflammation. As such, most expected the veteran would sit this one out after going for 26 points in 39 minutes in Friday's win over the Los […]

Nikola Jokic Cleared To Suit Up Versus The Wizards

Denver Nuggets center Nikola Jokic (elbow) will play on Saturday versus the Wizards. He was back on the injury report because of his nagging elbow injury. However, it won't keep him off the floor against one of the worst teams in the NBA. The three-time MVP had 28 points, seven rebounds, five assists, three steals, […]

Josh Giddey Officially Out On Saturday Night

Chicago Bulls guard Josh Giddey (ankle) remains out on Saturday against the Rockets. He's expected to be back at some point during the Bulls' road trip. However, his return won't be on Saturday night. Fortunately, Coby White (toe) is good to go, so he'll pick up a large portion of the slack offensively, Tre Jones, […]

Ja Morant Ruled Out On Saturday Night

Memphis Grizzlies guard Ja Morant (shoulder) won't play on Saturday against Miami. He's listed on the injury report because of shoulder soreness. However, with the Heat struggling, it's an ideal time for Morant to get the night off, especially after going for 44 points in 35 minutes on Friday versus the Cavaliers. Without him, Luke […]

Damian Lillard Available Versus Indiana

Milwaukee Bucks guard Damian Lillard (groin) is available for Saturday's matchup versus Indiana. He's back on the injury report because of a groin injury. Yet, that's nothing new. He was also probable, so most fantasy managers expected to see him on the floor on Saturday evening. Unfortunately, Lillard has struggled offensively in three meetings with […]

Giannis Antetokounmpo Good To Go On Saturday

Milwaukee Bucks forward Giannis Antetokounmpo (calf) is available for Saturday's Central Division showdown with the Indiana Pacers. He's back on the injury report because of his ailing calf. However, the 30-year-old hasn't missed a game in over a month, so that trend will continue on Saturday night. Damian Lillard (groin) is also good to go, […]

Jamal Murray Added To Saturday's Injury Report

Denver Nuggets guard Jamal Murray (knee) is now questionable for Saturday's meeting with the Wizards. The veteran played 39 minutes in Friday's narrow win over the Los Angeles Lakers, amassing 26 points and shooting 5-for-9 from behind the three-point line. But because the Nuggets will play the Wizards, arguably the worst team in the National […]

Cole Anthony Back On The Injury Report

Orlando Magic guard Cole Anthony (toe) is questionable for Sunday's meeting with the Cavaliers. He's missed the last two games because of a sprained toe. As a result, Cory Joseph has filled in at the one spot, although he had just eight points in Friday's loss to the Minnesota Timberwolves. If Anthony remains out, Joseph […]

Donovan Mitchell Questionable Against Orlando

Cleveland Cavaliers guard Donovan Mitchell (groin) is questionable for Sunday's matchup with the Orlando Magic. The 28-year-old has missed the last two games because of groin soreness. Yet, the Cavaliers have been just fine without him, with the team winning the last 16 games. If Mitchell doesn't make it back on Sunday, Evan Mobley (foot), […]

Andre Drummond Out Against Dallas

Philadelphia 76ers center Andre Drummond (toe) remains out on Sunday versus Dallas. The veteran has battled the toe injury all season. But with the 76ers limping to the end of the 2024-25 campaign, fantasy managers may not see him on the floor much the rest of the way. However, with Adem Bona (ankle) also ruled […]

Ja Morant Questionable On Saturday Night

Memphis Grizzlies guard Ja Morant (shoulder) is questionable for Saturday's matchup with the visiting Heat. He logged 35 minutes in Friday's 133-124 loss to the Cavs, exploding for 44 points, eight rebounds, and seven assists. However, the Grizzlies need to keep Morant healthy for the postseason, meaning there's a good chance he'll sit out on […]

P.J. Washington Returning On Sunday

Dallas Mavericks forward P.J. Washington (ankle) will play on Sunday versus Philadelphia. The Mavs have struggled keeping players on the floor this season. Fortunately, the team will get Washington back from a seven-game absence caused by a sprained right ankle. The 26-year-old is having one of the best seasons of his career, averaging 14.0 points, […]

Dante Exum Diagnosed With A Fractured Left Hand

Dallas Mavericks guard Dante Exum (wrist) suffered a fractured left wrist during Friday's loss to the Houston Rockets. He will be sidelined for at least a month, with the team providing updates when available. The 29-year-old missed three months to begin the 2024-25 campaign because of a wrist injury before returning at the end of […]

Cam Thomas Expected To Miss Rest Of The Season

Brooklyn Nets guard Cam Thomas (hamstring) is expected to miss the remainder of the 2024-25 campaign. He has another left hamstring strain, with the team ruling him out due to "the number of days remaining in the schedule and the time needed to appropriately recover." Outside of the injuries, the 23-year-old had an excellent season, […]

Kevin Porter Jr. Expected To Be Available Saturday

Milwaukee Bucks point guard Kevin Porter Jr. (ankle) is on the injury report for Saturday's contest against the Indiana Pacers, but he is expected to play, as the team has given him a probable designation. The 24-year-old is battling a left ankle sprain. Porter Jr. was outstanding at both ends in Thursday's win over the […]

Damian Lillard Listed As Probable For Saturday's Game

Milwaukee Bucks point guard Damian Lillard (groin) once again holds a probable tag on the injury report entering Saturday's matchup against the Indiana Pacers.

Giannis Antetokounmpo Probable For Saturday

Milwaukee Bucks forward/center Giannis Antetokounmpo (calf) is considered probable for Saturday's matchup against the Indiana Pacers.
