Brooklyn Nets guard James Harden (hamstring) isn't close to returning, according to head coach Steve Nash.

Miles Bridges Drops 27 Points Against Detroit

Charlotte Hornets forward Miles Bridges compiled 27 points, seven rebounds, four assists, one block, and one steal in 36 minutes during Saturday's win over the Pistons.

Grayson Allen Doubtful For Saturday

Memphis Grizzlies guard Grayson Allen (hand) is listed as doubtful for Saturday's game against the Orlando Magic. He missed Friday's game due to a hand issue and could very well sit out again. Desmond Bone and De'Anthony Melton stand to gain the most fantasy value without Allen available. They will likely split up the playing […]

Kyle Kuzma Listed As Probable For Sunday

Los Angeles Lakers forward Kyle Kuzma (thumb) is listed as probable for Sunday's game against the Toronto Raptors. He sprained his thumb during Friday's contest, but the fact he is probable is good news. The Lakers are usually fairly cautious, so a probable tag shouldn't alarm fantasy managers. It has been a tough last few […]

Nikola Vucevic Scratched On Saturday

Chicago Bulls center Nikola Vucevic (groin) is a late scratch from Saturday's game against the Atlanta Hawks. It was originally mentioned earlier in the day that Vucevic was cleared to play on Saturday. Possibly, Vucevic suffered a setback during pregame warmups and will sit out as a precaution. Nonetheless, Daniel Theis and Thaddeus Young will […]

Kemba Walker Unlikely To Play Sunday

Boston Celtics guard Kemba Walker (oblique) is listed as doubtful for Sunday's game against the Portland Trail Blazers. Walker continues to sit out due to a nagging oblique issue that has cost him significant playing time. Jayson Tatum has been asked to carry the offense in his absence. Marcus Smart, Evan Fournier and Payton Pritchard […]

Gary Harris Moves Into Starting Five

Orlando Magic guard Gary Harris will slide into the starting five for Saturday's game against the Memphis Grizzlies. Both Terrence Ross (back) and James Ennis III (calf) have been ruled out for this game. Harris will have a much higher usage than normal with the Magic banged up. He'll be a sneaky streaming choice and […]

Domantas Sabonis Might Return Saturday

Indiana Pacers forward Domantas Sabonis (back) could return for Saturday's game against the Oklahoma City Thunder. He has missed six straight games due to a back issue, but is listed as a game time decision here. Oshae Brissett would take a hit in value, assuming Sabonis actually plays. However, Brissett should still be a decent […]

Luguentz Dort, Aleksej Pokusevski Will Miss Saturday’s Game

Oklahoma City Thunder point/shooting guard Luguentz Dort (hip) and small forward Aleksej Pokusevski (knee) have both been ruled out for Saturday's contest against Indiana.

Bogdan Bogdanovic, Kevin Huerter Questionable On Saturday

Atlanta Hawks shooting guard Bogdan Bogdanovic (hamstring) and small forward Kevin Huerter (shoulder) have both earned questionable designations for Saturday's game against Chicago. Bogdanovic and Huerter have each missed Atlanta's previous two outings, opening the door for Solomon Hill and Tony Snell to see elevated workloads. Even with Trae Young back from an ankle injury, […]

Nikola Vucevic, Lauri Markkanen Questionable For Saturday

Chicago Bulls center Nikola Vucevic (adductor) and power forward Lauri Markkanen (illness) both have their statuses up in the air for Saturday's game versus Atlanta.

Terrence Ross, James Ennis III Will Miss Saturday’s Game

Orlando Magic shooting guard/small forward Terrence Ross (back) and small/power forward James Ennis III (calf) have both been ruled out for Saturday's contest against Memphis.

Mike Conley Will Miss Third Straight Game Saturday

Utah Jazz point guard Mike Conley (hamstring) has been ruled out for Saturday's contest versus the Raptors as he continues to work through a tight right hamstring. Joe Ingles has served as the team's de facto PG in Conley's absence, a role that he figures to reprise so long as both Conley and Donovan Mitchell […]

Darius Garland, Isaiah Hartenstein, Lamar Stevens Out Saturday

The Cleveland Cavaliers will be significantly short-handed for Saturday's game versus the Heat as point guard Darius Garland (ankle), center Isaiah Hartenstein (concussion) and small forward Lamar Stevens (concussion) have all been deemed unavailable. Garland's loss is the most significant for Cleveland, who is likely to shift Collin Sexton over to the starting PG spot, […]

Kristaps Porzingis, J.J. Redick Will Miss Saturday’s Game

Dallas Mavericks power forward/center Kristaps Porzingis (knee) and shooting guard J.J. Redick (heel) have both been ruled out for Saturday's contest versus Washington.

Isaiah Roby (PF/C, OKC): Week 19 Waiver Wire Pickups

BALLER MOVE: Add in 14-Team Leagues ROSTERED IN: 25% of leagues ANALYSIS: God bless the Tanking Thunder for paving their way toward 2030-contention on sheer mediocrity. The Thunder are the third-worst team in the West and can still finish the season lower than that. They lost 14 in a row before defeating Boston (LOL) on Apr. 27, […]

Trevor Ariza (SG/SF, MIA): Week 19 Waiver Wire Pickups

BALLER MOVE: Add in 14-Team Leagues ROSTERED IN: 13% of leagues ANALYSIS: With nine games to go, the Miami Heat are far from reaching the Bubble-Finals level of play they showed last season, but are already a lock to make the postseason.

BALLER MOVE: Add in 14-Team Leagues ROSTERED IN: 29% of leagues ANALYSIS: Whatever food it is they serve in Denver, it's definitely not doing any good to the big-role players around the Rocky Mountains these days.

Jalen Brunson (PG/SG, DAL): Week 19 Waiver Wire Pickups

BALLER MOVE: Add in 14-Team Leagues ROSTERED IN: 26% of leagues ANALYSIS: Jalen Brunson is a starter! He got the Mavs to bench Luka Doncic on Thursday! Yay! Nope. Doncic missed that game, sure, and that kinda forced Brunson into Dallas' starting lineup, but other than that you are not supposed to expect Brunson starting […]

Kendrick Nunn (PG/SG, MIA): Week 19 Waiver Wire Pickups

BALLER MOVE: Add in 12-Team Leagues ROSTERED IN: 43% of leagues ANALYSIS: I have been telling you about adding Kendrick Nunn for a while now, but it seems like more than half of you aren't listening to my words of wisdom. Shame on you, because Nunn is becoming a better fantasy play by the day. […]

Chuma Okeke (PF, ORL): Week 19 Waiver Wire Pickups

BALLER MOVE: Add in 14-Team Leagues ROSTERED IN: 26% of leagues ANALYSIS: Before we go ahead with Chuma Okeke's post: the rookie got banged up last Wednesday facing Cleveland, and he already missed a game in yesterday's affair with Memphis. Alright, now you know what's going on with Okeke and that DNP. That being said, […]
