The Atlanta Hawks acquired forward Georges Niang along with Caris LeVert, three second-round picks, and two swaps in exchange for De'Andre Hunter.

Jalen Suggs Remains Out On Wednesday

Orlando Magic guard Jalen Suggs (quadriceps) won't play on Wednesday versus Sacramento. The 23-year-old missed 10 games because of a back injury before returning for the January 25 matchup with the Pistons.

Andrew Wiggins Heading To Miami

According to ESPN's Shams Charania, the Warriors are trading forward Andrew Wiggins to the Heat in a multi-team deal that will also send Jimmy Butler to Golden State.

Dennis Schroder Traded To Jazz

The Utah Jazz have acquired guard Dennis Schroder in a five-team trade on Wednesday. It looked like Schroder was going to end up with the Miami Heat, but instead he'll go to Utah. Schroder has moved around quite a bit this season, but this is a less than ideal landing spot for him. The Jazz […]

Lonzo Ball Signs Two-Year Extension

Chicago Bulls guard Lonzo Ball has signed a new deal with the organization on Wednesday. Ball has agreed on a two-year, $20 million extension with the team. It seemed increasingly likely that Ball was going to be moved ahead of the trade deadline. However, the Bulls have decided to keep the 27-year-old guard who has […]

Jonas Valanciunas Traded To The Kings

According to ESPN's Shams Charania, the Wizards are trading center Jonas Valanciunas to the Kings in exchange for guard Sidy Cissoko and two second-round picks.

Draymond Green To Play Versus Jazz

Golden State Warriors forward Draymond Green (calf) is available ahead of Wednesday's game against the Utah Jazz. As expected, Green is cleared to play after being listed as probable coming into this contest. Green missed seven games in a row due to a calf injury before being cleared to play on Monday. He wasn't limited […]

Jose Alvarado Unavailable On Wednesday

New Orleans Pelicans guard Jose Alvarado (illness) has been ruled out ahead of Wednesday's game against the Denver Nuggets. The Pelicans have been leaning more on Alvarado with Dejounte Murray (Achilles) done for the season.

Aaron Gordon To Play On Wednesday

Denver Nuggets forward Aaron Gordon (calf) is available ahead of Wednesday's game against the New Orleans Pelicans. Gordon sat out of Monday's game due to a calf issue, but appears to be feeling good enough to play now.

Paul George Available On Wednesday

Philadelphia 76ers forward Paul George (finger) will suit up versus the Heat on Wednesday night. The veteran has been banged up all season.

Cameron Johnson Returning Versus Washington

Brooklyn Nets forward Cameron Johnson (ankle) will play against the Wizards on Wednesday night. He has had the best year of his career. However, an ankle injury has kept him off the floor for Brooklyn's previous six games. With that in mind, Johnson is a must-start in all fantasy setups. But his presence could mean […]

Marcus Smart Will Play On Wednesday

Memphis Grizzlies guard Marcus Smart (finger) will play on Wednesday versus Toronto. The veteran hasn't been on the court since December 23, so he'll likely operate under a minutes restriction. But with Desmond Bane (ankle) ruled out, Smart could see enough minutes to justify his presence in fantasy lineups against one of the worst teams […]

Brook Lopez Available On Wednesday Night

Milwaukee Bucks center Brook Lopez (back) will play against the Hornets. The veteran missed his first game of the 2024-25 campaign on Monday versus OKC due to back soreness.

Bobby Portis Returning Against Charlotte

Milwaukee Bucks forward Bobby Portis (personal) will play on Wednesday against Charlotte. He missed the last six games due to a personal matter.

Giannis Antetokounmpo Good To Go Versus Charlotte
