Michael Porter Jr. Probable For Thursday

Denver Nuggets forward Michael Porter Jr. (ankle) is listed as probable for Thursday's game against the Toronto Raptors. He tweaked his ankle during Wednesday's game, but it doesn't sound like he'll miss any action. Possibly, Porter is a little limited, but most likely he'll see his normal workload on Thursday. Fantasy managers should check back […]

Jeremy Lamb Won't Suit Up Versus Nets

Indiana Pacers guard Jeremy Lamb (knee) has been ruled out for Thursday's game against the Brooklyn Nets. He has been sidelined for over a week, so fantasy managers shouldn't expect Lamb to return anytime soon. Edmond Sumner and Doug McDermott have been playing more minutes without Lamb available. Sumner is worth rostering in most formats […]

Goga Bitadze Not Expected To Play Thursday

Indiana Pacers center Goga Bitadze (ankle) is not expected to suit up for Thursday's game against the Brooklyn Nets. This doesn't come as much of a surprise considering Bitadze wasn't able to practice on Wednesday. Oshae Brissett will continue playing heavy minutes with the Pacers banged up. He'll be a favorable DFS option or streaming […]

Yogi Ferrell Stays With Clippers For Remainder Of 2020-21 Year

Los Angeles Clippers point guard Yogi Ferrell is sticking with the organization through the season after having impressed in his first three games. Ferrell faces a muddled path to playing time with Reggie Jackson and Rajon Rondo currently ahead of him on the depth chart (with Patrick Beverley also in the mix when healthy), making […]

Oklahoma City Will Have Gabriel Deck Available Thursday

Oklahoma City Thunder small/power forward Gabriel Deck is available to make his NBA debut Thursday against New Orleans. Deck, a 26-year-old forward originally from Argentina, has played professionally for Real Madrid since 2018-19. The Thunder were impressed enough by Deck to hand him a three-year deal with an option for a fourth season after he […]

Avery Bradley, Danuel House Jr. Will Miss Thursday’s Game

Houston Rockets shooting guard Avery Bradley (leg) and small/power forward Danuel House Jr. (ankle) have both been deemed unavailable for Thursday's contest against the Bucks. If contending with Milwaukee wasn't difficult enough, Houston will now be severely short-handed on the wing, with Jae'Sean Tate likely to step into a sizable role. Neither Bradley nor House […]

Austin Rivers Set To Stick With Nuggets Through 2020-21 Year

Denver Nuggets point/shooting guard Austin Rivers is expected to sign a deal that keeps him with the franchise through the remainder of the current season. Having impressed during a 10-day contract, Rivers has proven to be valuable backcourt depth for a roster figuring out how to navigate without Jamal Murray (knee) in the mix. Despite […]

Steven Adams Will Miss Thursday’s Game

New Orleans Pelicans center Steven Adams (toe) has been ruled out for Thursday's contest against Oklahoma City due to continued issues with a toe sprain on his right foot. Adams returned from a one-game absence to log 13 minutes in a start versus the Nuggets on Wednesday, but he was clearly not himself. Willy Hernangomez […]

Toronto Will Be Without Fred VanVleet For Thursday’s Game

Toronto Raptors point/shooting guard Fred VanVleet (hip) has been ruled out for Thursday's contest against Denver due to continued recovery from a left hip flexor strain. VanVleet played both legs of a back-to-back on Monday and Tuesday, but shot a combined 7-for-27 over 74 combined minutes. VanVleet's absence further depletes the Raptors' dwindling wing depth, […]

Kristaps Porzingis, Josh Richardson Likely To Return Thursday

Dallas Mavericks power forward/center Kristaps Porzingis (ankle) and shooting guard/small forward Josh Richardson (hamstring) have both been bumped up to probable to play in Thursday's contest against the Pistons. Their return comes at a crucial point, as Luka Doncic (elbow) and Dorian Finney-Smith (leg) are both expected to miss the outing. Neither Porzingis nor Richardson […]

Kyrie Irving Will Miss Thursday’s Contest

Brooklyn Nets point guard Kyrie Irving (groin) has been ruled out for Thursday's game against the Pacers due to a sore right groin. Irving was held to just 3-for-13 from the field overall Tuesday versus Toronto, with his nine points marking a season low. Tyler Johnson and Landry Shamet figure to handle the vast majority […]

Luka Doncic, Dorian Finney-Smith Unlikely To Suit Up Thursday

Dallas Mavericks point guard Luka Doncic (elbow) and small/power forward Dorian Finney-Smith (leg) have both picked up doubtful designations for Thursday's contest against Detroit. Dallas' injury report has been hefty as of late, even as Doncic has not missed action since March 27. The elbow ailment hasn't impaired Doncic too strenuously, as he has managed […]
