Cleveland Cavaliers small forward Isaac Okoro went off for a game-high 32 points in Tuesday's overtime loss to Phoenix, shooting 10-for-16 from the field and 9-for-9 at the charity stripe with a 3-for-4 record from deep. He added six assists with three rebounds, one steal and one turnover. The rookie from Auburn averages only nine […]

Chris Paul Posts A Double-Double With 16 Assists

Phoenix Suns point guard Chris Paul ran the show with 16 assists in Tuesday's overtime win versus Cleveland, adding 23 points on 8-for-16 shooting to complete a double-double. He finished 2-for-3 with the three-ball and was 5-for-5 at the foul line. The veteran didn't commit a single turnover in 36 minutes and picked up four […]

Devin Booker Scores 31 Points In Overtime Victory

Phoenix Suns shooting guard Devin Booker posted his third consecutive 30-point outing on Tuesday, finishing a 134-118 overtime win against Cleveland with 31 points on 14-for-27 shooting. It was a very solid shooting performance despite Booker going 1-for-6 from downtown. He pulled down six rebounds and dished out five assists with one steal and five […]

Brandon Ingram Sprains His Ankle Against Warriors

New Orleans Pelicans forward Brandon Ingram (ankle) was injured during the second quarter of Tuesday's win over Golden State. Ingram tweaked his left ankle, resulting in the 23-year-old getting x-rays taken, although they came back clean. After attempting to play through it, he was removed for the night in the third quarter, finishing with 13 […]

Zion Williamson Injures Hand Against Golden State

New Orleans Pelicans forward Zion Williamson (hand) was injured during Tuesday's contest against Golden State. The sophomore appeared to suffer an injury to his left hand and spent some time in the locker room as a result. He returned, however, finishing the night with 23 points, 12 rebounds, seven assists, and two steals. Although it […]

Terrence Ross Will Be Absent Again On Wednesday

Orlando Magic guard Terrence Ross (back) will sit once again on Wednesday against the Boston Celtics. This isn't a surprise as the veteran has missed the previous nine games due to back spasms. Without Ross in the mix, look for Dwayne Bacon and Gary Harris to continue to get extra work, although both men are […]

Kemba Walker Not On The Injury Report

Boston Celtics guard Kemba Walker (oblique) isn't listed on the league's latest injury report. The veteran has missed time while trying to work his way back from a strained left oblique. With Jaylen Brown (ankle) out, Walker could be in line for an uptick in production, although he may see fewer minutes in his first […]

Jaylen Brown Listed As Out Against Orlando

Boston Celtics forward Jaylen Brown (ankle) is out for the matchup against Orlando on Wednesday evening. Brown sprained his right ankle toward the completion of Sunday's matchup against the Portland Trail Blazers, and with the team looking to remain healthy for the postseason, he may miss a few more games moving ahead. Luckily, Kemba Walker […]

Norvel Pelle Questionable Against Nuggets

New York Knicks center Norvel Pelle (ankle) is questionable for Wednesday's outing against Denver. The 28-year-old is currently dealing with a sprained right ankle, which puts his status in jeopardy against Nikola Jokic (toe) and the Nuggets. With Mitchell Robinson (foot) out and Nerlens Noel (ankle) questionable, coach Thibodeau may turn to Taj Gibson for […]

Nikola Jokic Probable Against New York

Denver Nuggets center Nikola Jokic (toe) is probable ahead of Wednesday's clash against New York. Joker popped up on the latest injury report due to soreness in his right toe, but with the team looking to catch Utah for the second seed out west, the MVP candidate will be needed against the surging Knicks. Jokic […]

Bogdan Bogdanovic Probable Against Phoenix

Atlanta Hawks forward Bogdan Bogdanovic (hamstring) is probable for Wednesday's matchup against the Suns. The 28-year-old continues to carry a designation due to soreness in his left hamstring. However, he did suit up in the team's previous two contests and score a combined 40 points, so the ailment doesn't appear to be bothering him much […]

Tyrese Haliburton Expected To Miss Rest Of The Year

Sacramento Kings guard Tyrese Haliburton (knee) is likely done for the season. The rookie left Sunday's matchup against Dallas after he suffered a left knee injury. Although an MRI revealed no ligament damage and he won't require surgery, the team will keep him on the shelf. The 21-year-old had an efficient inaugural campaign, averaging 13 […]

Furkan Korkmaz Won’t Play On Wednesday

Philadelphia 76ers guard Furkan Korkmaz (ankle) won't play on Wednesday against the Houston Rockets. The 23-year-old aggravated the right ankle sprain that caused him to miss several games this season during Monday's outing against Chicago. Without him, Matisse Thybulle and Shake Milton should see extra minutes, although neither are dependable fantasy options.

Damian Lillard Probable On Wednesday

Portland Trail Blazers guard Damian Lillard (foot) is listed as probable ahead of Wednesday's matchup against Cleveland. The veteran is currently dealing with a bruise on his left foot, an injury that he picked up during Monday's matchup against the Atlanta Hawks. Although he will likely play, fantasy managers should monitor his status until lock […]

LeBron James To Miss More Time

Los Angeles Lakers forward LeBron James (ankle) will miss Thursday and Friday's games against the Clippers and Trail Blazers. The former MVP recently returned from a right ankle injury that caused him to miss six weeks. However, after reaggravating the ailment on Sunday against Toronto, the team will take a cautious approach to prepare for […]

Patrick Beverley Faces Minutes Limit In Return Tuesday

Los Angeles Clippers point guard Patrick Beverley (hand) has been given the green light to get back into the mix for Tuesday's contest versus the Raptors. Beverley hadn't taken the floor since April 8 due to a fractured hand, but he will be available Tuesday, albeit in a limited capacity. His return muddles the fantasy […]

Danuel House Jr. Unlikely To Suit Up Wednesday

Houston Rockets small/power forward Danuel House Jr. (ankle) has earned a doubtful designation ahead of Wednesday's game versus Philadelphia due to a sore right ankle. House has missed each of the past three contests due to the ailment, having suited up for only 42 minutes of action across two outings since April 4. House's likely […]

P.J. Dozier Ruled Out For Wednesday’s Contest

Denver Nuggets shooting guard/small forward P.J. Dozier (adductor) will miss Wednesday's game against the Knicks due to a strained right adductor. Dozier had been elevated to the starting five for each of Denver's past six contests, in which he averaged 11.5 points and 3.3 rebounds over 28.2 minutes per outing. His absence on the wing […]

Chimezie Metu Will Miss Tuesday’s Contest

Sacramento Kings power forward/center Chimezie Metu (back) has been ruled out for Tuesday's game versus Oklahoma City due to a sore back. Metu hasn't suited up since last Friday, giving Marvin Bagley III unabated minutes at the power forward slot. Averaging just 5.3 points and 2.6 boards this season, Metu hasn't cracked the Sacramento rotation […]

Maxi Kleber Faces Multi-Game Absence

Dallas Mavericks power forward Maxi Kleber (Achilles) is in line to miss "the next two or three games" as he works through an Achilles issue, per head coach Rick Carlisle. Kleber has been a recent frequenter of the injury report, but he has suited up for each of Dallas' past six games; his absence paves […]

Delon Wright Enters Starting Five For Tuesday’s Game

Sacramento Kings point/shooting guard Delon Wright will be elevated into the starting lineup for Tuesday's contest against the Thunder. Injuries to De'Aaron Fox (health protocols) and Tyrese Haliburton (ankle) have thinned out Sacramento's backcourt depth, and with Wright having proven to be a solid contributor with the second unit, he'll make his first start since […]

Jaren Jackson Jr. Resting On Wednesday

Memphis Grizzlies forward Jaren Jackson Jr. (rest) will not suit up for Wednesday's game against the Minnesota Timberwolves. It's the front end of a back-to-back set, so the Grizzlies will take the cautious approach here. It sounds like he'll be available for Thursday's game. In the meantime, Brandon Clarke and Xavier Tillman will see more […]

Tristan Thompson Questionable Against Magic

Boston Celtics center Tristan Thompson (pectoral) is listed as questionable for Wednesday's game against the Orlando Magic. He recently moved into the starting five, but that stint could be short lived. His absence would mean an immediate boost for Robert Williams. He'd see all the minutes he can handle at center, which would make him […]

Norman Powell Might Sit Versus Lakers

Toronto Raptors forward Norman Powell (knee) is listed as questionable for Wednesday's game against the Los Angeles Lakers. He is dealing with right knee patellar tendinopathy, so basically the best thing for Powell is to rest. The Blazers do need to win for seeding purposes, so there is incentive to get him out on the […]

D.J. Augustin Could Miss Wednesday's Game

Houston Rockets guard D.J. Augustin (ankle) is listed as questionable for Wednesday's game against the Philadelphia 76ers. It wouldn't be surprising to see the Rockets rest the veteran guard here. They aren't playing for much, so they have no incentive to play their veterans throughout the rest of the season. Kevin Porter Jr. has looked […]

Nerlens Noel Might Sit Against Nuggets

New York Knicks center Nerlens Noel (ankle) is listed as questionable for Wednesday's game against the Denver Nuggets. He has been banged up lately, but the Knicks could certainly use Noel in this one. The team will likely wait until after shootaround before making a final decision. Taj Gibson could become an interesting streaming choice […]

Malcolm Brogdon, Edmond Sumner Questionable For Wednesday

Indiana Pacers guards Malcolm Brogdon (hamstring) and Edmond Sumner (knee) are listed as questionable for Wednesday's game against the Sacramento Kings. Brogdon has missed the last two games, so it wouldn't be shocking to see him miss another contest. Sumner suffered an injury on Sunday and it bothered him during Monday's game as well. T.J. […]
