Serge Ibaka Remains Sidelined Against Rockets

Los Angeles Clippers center Serge Ibaka (back) has been ruled out for Friday's game against the Houston Rockets. He continues to deal with back tightness and it's uncertain when Ibaka will return. The Clippers have been without the veteran center for quite some time. Ivica Zubac should have some low-end streaming appeal against the Rockets […]

Dejounte Murray, Patty Mills Resting Thursday

San Antonio Spurs guards Dejounte Murray and Patty Mills have been ruled out for Thursday's game against the Detroit Pistons. Both players will sit out here for rest purposes. The Spurs are giving some of their starters the day off against the tanking Pistons. Derrick White and Lonnie Walker IV should see extended playing time […]

George Hill Moves Into Starting Lineup

Philadelphia 76ers guard George Hill will move into the starting five for Thursday's game against the Milwaukee Bucks. The veteran guard will draw the start with Ben Simmons (illness) sidelined for this one. Shake Milton started on Wednesday, but will shift to the second unit on Thursday. Hill should get significant playing time in this […]

Luguentz Dort Could Sit Versus Wizards

Oklahoma City Thunder guard Luguentz Dort (hip) is listed as questionable for Friday's game against the Washington Wizards. The team is calling it a "hip" injury, but everyone knows that OKC continues to tank. Sviatoslav Mykhailiuk, Ty Jerome, and Kenrich Williams would see more minutes, assuming Dort is out. None of them are fantastic streaming […]

Tyler Herro Might Sit Out Friday

Miami Heat guard Tyler Herro (foot) is listed as questionable for Friday's game against the Atlanta Hawks. He has been dealing with a lingering foot issue, but did suit up on Wednesday. Herro dropped 22 points in that one, but it wouldn't be shocking to see the Heat give him a break on Friday. His […]

Mo Bamba Moves Into Starting Lineup

Orlando Magic center Mo Bamba will move into the starting five for Thursday's game against the New Orleans Pelicans. The absence of Wendell Carter Jr. (ankle) should make Bamba an interesting streaming option for Thursday. He'll have favorable fantasy value, assuming he can stay out of foul trouble. Chuma Okeke should get more minutes as […]

Dario Saric Available Against Celtics

Phoenix Suns forward Dario Saric (ankle) is available for Thursday's game against the Boston Celtics. He normally isn't a huge part of the rotation, but Saric could see more minutes with the Suns being a little shorthanded. Sadly, Saric rarely does enough on the court to warrant using as a streaming option. Fantasy managers should […]

Wendell Carter Jr. Officially Ruled Out Against Pelicans

Orlando Magic center Wendell Carter Jr. (ankle) has been ruled out Thursday against the New Orleans Pelicans. Carter was questionable after dealing with a sore ankle, but the Magic will exercise caution here with nothing to play for. Carter's absence should give way to either Mo Bamba or Robert Franks starting while Chuman Okeke may […]

Anthony Davis Officially Questionable Thursday

Los Angeles Lakers forward/center Anthony Davis (calf) is questionable to play Thursday against the Dallas Mavericks. Davis could make his return since going down with a calf strain on February 14th, but would likely be hit with a ton of restrictions for his first couple games back. Davis playing would likely result in a dip […]

Jaylen Brown Downgraded To Out Against Suns

Boston Celtics guard/forward Jaylen Brown (shoulder) is out against the Phoenix Suns on Thursday. Brown tested his injury in pregame, but is unable to go due to shoulder bursitis. This could be a precaution given the Celtics start a back-to-back set, but something to keep an eye on regardless. Semi Ojeleye got the start last […]

Wendell Carter Jr. Questionable To Play Thursday

Orlando Magic center Wendell Carter Jr. (ankle) popped up on the injury report and is questionable against the New Orleans Pelicans on Thursday. Carter is being listed as dealing with a sore ankle which he likely picked up their last game on Tuesday. Carter has been great since earning the Magic's starting center position, but […]

Joel Embiid Good To Go Thursday

Philadelphia 76ers center Joel Embiid (rest candidate) will play Thursday against the Milwaukee Bucks. Embiid's status was up in the air given they just played on Wednesday, but the MVP-candidate is playing in a marquee match up. Embiid is also getting some help back with Tobias Harris (knee) and Seth Curry (hip) expected to play […]

Furkan Korkmaz Is Questionable Against Bucks

Philadelphia 76ers guard/forward Furkan Korkmaz (ankle) is questionable to play Thursday against the Milwaukee Bucks. Korkmaz has been playing well recently, but unfortunately rolled his ankle in Wednesday's game. To make matters worse for his fantasy value, Tobias Harris (knee) and Seth Curry (hip) are both expected to play which would result in a reduced […]

Ben Simmons Will Continue To Sit With Illness

Philadelphia 76ers point guard Ben Simmons (illness) is out Thursday against the Milwaukee Bucks. Simmons will miss his third straight game with a non-COVID related illness, but did travel with the team which is encouraging regarding his return. Shake Milton and Tyrese Maxey should continue to see more ball-handling duties on Thursday.

Tobias Harris And Seth Curry Expected To Play Thursday

Philadelphia 76ers forward Tobias Harris (knee) and guard Seth Curry (hip) are expected to play Thursday against the Milwaukee Bucks. Curry rested on Wednesday while Harris has not played since April 14th. Head coach Doc Rivers expects both to suit up and be available in this one, but check back before tip-off just to be […]

James Johnson Out Again Thursday

New Orleans Pelicans forward/center James Johnson (adductor) will not play Thursday against the Orlando Magic. Johnson will miss his second straight game with a strained adductor and did not sound close to playing in this one with a doubtful tag initially. Naji Marshall has been playing well for the past week now and is the […]

Marvin Bagley III Cleared For On-Court Work

Sacramento Kings forward Marvin Bagley III (hand) has been cleared to resume basketball activities on Thursday. Bagley has been sidelined for 20 games with a fractured fourth metacarpal in his left hand- and was able to join the team recently after being away. He'll now begin working on the court, with head coach Luke Walton […]

Troy Brown Jr. Ruled Out Thursday

Chicago Bulls forward Troy Brown Jr. (ankle) is out for Thursday's game against the Hornets. Brown will miss his second consecutive contest on Thursday as he deals with a sprained ankle. Denzel Valentine will see added minutes on the wing in Brown's absence against Charlotte.

Richaun Holmes Cleared To Resume Basketball Activities

Sacramento Kings center Richaun Holmes (hamstring) was cleared to resume basketball activities on Thursday. Holmes has missed the past five games with a right hamstring injury, though it seems like he's trending in the right direction. Head coach Luke Walton said that the Bowling Green product is "doing much better" and that the team will […]

Dario Saric Questionable, Jae Crowder Ruled Out

Phoenix Suns forward Dario Saric (ankle) is questionable for Thursday's matchup with Boston. Fellow forward Jae Crowder (ankle) has been ruled out for the contest. Both players are dealing with ankle injuries of varying degrees, though Saric's has now been listed as an ankle sprain after previously being diagnosed as 'soreness.' It's looking like Frank […]

Andre Drummond Probable For Thursday

Los Angeles Lakers center Andre Drummond (toe) is probable to play in Thursday's contest against the Mavericks. Drummond has been able to tough out the injury lately- so it's not too surprising that the team expects him to be available. The 27-year-old big man is averaging a double-double with 1.8 steals per game in April […]

Evan Fournier, Robert Williams III Close To Returning

Boston Celtics guard Evan Fournier and center Robert Williams III (knee) are close to making their respective returns to the court. Fournier has been in the league's COVID-19 health protocols and has missed eight contests, but general manager Danny Ainge said that the former Magic wing could return to action this weekend, depending on how his […]

Jaylen Brown Doubtful For Thursday

Boston Celtics guard Jaylen Brown (shoulder) is doubtful for Thursday's contest against Phoenix. Brown is dealing with left shoulder bursitis, an issue that seemed to bother him during Monday's game. Celtics' president of basketball operations Danny Ainge said that Brown was doing better on Wednesday but that he's sore- Ainge believes it's a day-to-day issue. […]

Jayson Tatum, Kemba Walker, Marcus Smart Suiting Up

Boston Celtics forward Jayson Tatum (ankle) and guard Kemba Walker (illness) are available to play in Thursday's game against the Suns. Tatum has been nursing a left ankle injury, though he hasn't missed a game since March 22, so it's not surprising to see him out there. Walker and Marcus Smart (illness) have been dealing […]

Damian Lillard Scores 22 Points In Return

Portland Trail Blazers guard Damian Lillard returned on Wednesday night after a three-game absence due to a hamstring injury. Lillard was a little rusty, unsurprisingly, but scored 22 points with five assists, four rebounds, two three-pointers, and a pair of steals in 37 minutes. It was great to see him out there for 37 minutes, […]

Nikola Jokic Stays Hot In Win Over Portland

Denver Nuggets center Nikola Jokic scored 25 points with nine rebounds, five assists, a triple, and a block in Wednesday's 106-105 win over Portland. Jokic made a few key free throws late in the contest to help seal the deal for Denver, their fourth straight win. The All-Star center has now scored 25-plus points in […]

Ja Morant Scores 22 Points In Losing Effort

Memphis Grizzlies guard Ja Morant scored a team-high 22 points in a losing effort to the Clippers on Wednesday. Morant added six rebounds, four assists, four three-pointers, and a steal in 31 minutes. The 21-year-old has had an up-and-down April, though the highs- 36 points and 12 assists on Monday- outweigh the lows- 10 points […]

Marcus Morris Sr. Pours In 25 Points With Full Line

Los Angeles Clippers forward Marcus Morris Sr. kept up his recent strong stretch of play in Wednesday's 117-105 win over the Grizzlies. With top dogs Kawhi Leonard (foot) and Paul George (rest) out, Morris stepped up to the tune of 25 points, four rebounds, four triples, two assists, a steal, and a block in 32 […]

Luke Kennard Drops Season-High 28 Points

Los Angeles Clippers guard Luke Kennard had his best game of the season with Kawhi Leonard (foot) and Paul George (rest) out of the lineup Wednesday. Kennard scored a season-high 28 points with six three-pointers- also a season-high. The 24-year-old added seven boards, two assists, and a block while committing one turnover in 38 minutes. […]
