Immanuel Quickley In Danger Of Missing Thursday’s Game

New York Knicks guard Immanuel Quickley (ankle) is questionable against the Spurs. Quickley is dealing with a sprained left ankle and joins Derrick Rose (ankle), Alec Burks (knee), and Reggie Bullock (ankle) on the latest injury report heading into Thursday. If all of those guys are out, Frank Ntilikina and Elfrid Payton could see a […]

Alec Burks Is Questionable On Thursday Evening

New York Knicks guard Alec Burks (knee) may not play on Thursday against the Spurs. The veteran joins Derrick Rose (ankle), Reggie Bullock (ankle), and Immanuel Quickley (ankle), who also have questionable tags against San Antonio. Fantasy managers should monitor their statuses leading up to opening tip and prepare for a possible fantasy pivot toward […]

Derrick Rose May Miss Thursday’s Contest

New York Knicks guard Derrick Rose (ankle) is questionable for Thursday's matchup against the San Antonio Spurs. The veteran is currently dealing with a sprained left ankle, and with the team not looking to take any chances heading into the postseason, it wouldn't be surprising if Rose wasn't available. With Reggie Bullock (ankle), Alec Burks […]

Furkan Korkmaz Likely To Play Against Miami

Philadelphia 76ers guard Furkan Korkmaz (ankle) is likely to be available on Thursday against the Miami Heat. The 23-year-old has missed the team's previous four contests due to a lingering right ankle sprain that has bothered him for most of the year. With Joel Embiid (illness) and Matisse Thybulle (hand) in danger of sitting, Korkmaz […]

Joel Embiid Questionable On Thursday Night

Philadelphia 76ers center Joel Embiid (illness) is questionable ahead of Thursday's matchup against Miami. The big man is dealing with a non-COVID-related sickness and wasn't in the lineup on Tuesday against Indiana as a result. If Embiid can't go, look for the team to start off small before allotting 20 or so minutes to Dwight […]

Jimmy Butler Could Miss Thursday’s Contest

Miami Heat forward Jimmy Butler (eye) is questionable for Thursday's outing against Philadelphia. The veteran was poked in the left eye on Tuesday night against the Celtics, and with the Heat looking to advance deep into the postseason, coach Erik Spoelstra may play it safe by keeping him out. If Butler doesn't play, look for […]

Mo Bamba Questionable Against Atlanta

Orlando Magic center Mo Bamba (illness) is questionable ahead of Thursday's matchup against the Hawks. The 23-year-old didn't play on Tuesday against Milwaukee due to a non-COVID-related illness, allowing Wendell Carter Jr. to see 31 minutes of work. If Bamba can't suit up again versus Atlanta, Carter will undoubtedly see an increase in DFS popularity.

Edmond Sumner Out Again Versus Bucks

Indiana Pacers guard Edmond Sumner (knee) will miss his second consecutive game while working his way back from a bruise on his left knee. The 25-year-old will join Malcolm Brogdon (hamstring) and Jeremy Lamb (knee) on the sidelines against Milwaukee as the team will likely continue to leave most of the ball-handling duties to Caris […]

Jeremy Lamb To Miss Another One On Thursday

Indiana Pacers guard Jeremy Lamb (knee) will remain out of the lineup on Thursday against the Milwaukee Bucks. The veteran continues to deal with soreness in his left knee, an ailment that caused him to miss his previous 13 games. With Malcolm Brogdon (hamstring) out as well, T.J. McConnell, who had 10 points, six boards, […]

Malcolm Brogdon Out Again On Thursday

Indiana Pacers guard Malcolm Brogdon (hamstring) won't play on Thursday evening against Milwaukee. Brogdon has missed his previous seven contests while tending to soreness in his right hamstring. With the team also down Jeremy Lamb (knee), Edmond Sumner (knee), and potentially Aaron Holiday (toe), T.J. McConnell should see more minutes off the bench. However, DFS […]

Gordon Hayward Not Expected Back Soon

Charlotte Hornets forward Gordon Hayward (foot) isn't expected back anytime soon. The veteran continues to work his way back from a right foot sprain suffered at the beginning of April. Miles Bridges won't be in the lineup on Thursday while continuing to adhere to the league's safety protocols surrounding COVID-19, so DFS enthusiasts should anticipate […]

Miles Bridges Will Remain Out On Thursday

Charlotte Hornets forward Miles Bridges won't be in the lineup on Thursday against the Los Angeles Clippers. Bridges will miss more time while adhering to the league's health and safety protocols surrounding COVID-19. With Gordon Hayward (foot), Cody Martin (ankle), and possibly Caleb Martin (thumb) out against L.A., expect the Hornets to run its starters […]
