Otto Porter Out Beyond All-Star Break

Chicago Bulls forward Otto Porter (back) will not play until after the All-Star break, according to head coach Billy Donovan. The veteran has progressed in the right direction since missing time due to back spasms. The 27-year-old is averaging 11.6 points and 6.3 boards across 23.2 minutes during the 2021 campaign. Fantasy managers in deeper […]

Dario Saric Out With Ankle Sprain

Phoenix Suns forward/center Dario Saric (ankle) will not play Friday against the Chicago Bulls. Saric has now had injuries to both ankles over the past couple weeks, but was questionable to play Friday so this should be a short-term injury. With Saric out, Cameron Johnson, Jae Crowder and Frank Kaminsky should all see more run. […]

Tyrese Haliburton Could Miss Multiple Games

Sacramento Kings guard Tyrese Haliburton (calf) has been ruled out Friday against the Detroit Pistons and will be re-evaluated when the team returns to Sacramento. It was reported Haliburton started feeling soreness in his left calf during their loss to the New York Knicks on Thursday. Given the nature of calf injuries and how easy […]

Cam Reddish Downgraded To Out Against Thunder

Atlanta Hawks guard/forward Cam Reddish (Achilles) will not play Friday against the Oklahoma City Thunder. This will make the third straight absence for Reddish with Achilles soreness, an ailment which caused him to miss games earlier in the season as well. Achilles injuries can be serious so the Hawks will likely exercise cautious without rushing […]

Hamidou Diallo Out Friday Against Hawks

Oklahoma City Thunder guard/forward Hamidou Diallo (groin) will miss Friday's contest against the Atlanta Hawks. Diallo suffered a groin injury on Wednesday and did not return so he may be in for a multi-game absence. This is unfortunate given how well Diallo was playing, but with his injury the Thunder have called up Ty Jerome […]

DeMar DeRozan Might Play Against Pelicans

San Antonio Spurs guard/forward DeMar DeRozan (personal) is questionable to play Saturday against the New Orleans Pelicans. DeRozan has been away from the team due to a family emergency, but he could play on Saturday after a one-game absence due to game postponements. If DeRozan is able to play, Luka Samanic or Lonnie Walker IV […]

LeBron James Once Again Probable

Los Angeles Lakers guard/forward LeBron James (ankle) is probable on Friday night against Portland. This isn't a surprise, as the veteran has been listed on the injury report for several weeks with a left ankle sprain. With Anthony Davis (Achilles) out of the equation, the former MVP should be on the radar more than ever […]

LaMarcus Aldridge Dealing With Wrist Soreness

San Antonio Spurs forward/center LaMarcus Aldridge (wrist) is questionable to play Saturday against the New Orleans Pelicans. Aldridge had just returned to play from a right hip flexor and right wrist soreness has been added to the list of injuries he has accumulated this year. The Spurs are already without Rudy Gay (health and safety […]

Tyler Herro To Miss Third Straight Game

Miami Heat guard Tyler Herro (hip) is out again Friday against the Utah Jazz, marking his third straight game on the sidelines. Herro was questionable so there was some optimism he would play, but this leaves Miami without one of their top scorers against the best team in the league. Without Herro, Goran Dragic, Kendrick […]

Tyrese Haliburton Unlikely To Play On Friday Night

Sacramento Kings guard Tyrese Haliburton (calf) is listed as doubtful ahead of Friday's meeting with the Pistons. The rookie has been dealing with soreness in his left calf, and with the team looking to play it safe with the first-round pick, he likely won't be in the rotation against Detroit. In his place, look for […]

Davis Bertans Questionable Again Saturday

Washington Wizards forward/center Davis Bertans (knee) is questionable to play Saturday against the Minnesota Timberwolves. Bertans was questionable Thursday, but ended up missing the game against the Denver Nuggets with knee soreness. The Wizards are entering a back-to-back set on Saturday and Sunday so it is possible Bertans misses at least one of them. Deni […]

Al Horford To Rest On Friday Evening

Oklahoma City Thunder center Al Horford will not play on Friday night against the Atlanta Hawks. With OKC playing its first of back-to-back outings, the veteran will get the night off to rest, a trend that has occurred throughout the year. In his place, Isaiah Roby should get the start once again, with the 23-year-old averaging […]

Kristaps Porzingis Expected To Play Saturday

Dallas Mavericks forward/center Kristaps Porzingis (back) is expected to play Saturday against the Brooklyn Nets. Porzingis is officially listed as questionable, but both he and head coach Rick Carlisle expect Porzingis to return barring any setbacks. The Mavericks are going to need Porzingis back if they want to compete in the loaded West and have […]

Kevin Durant Out Until After All-Star Break

Brooklyn Nets forward Kevin Durant (hamstring) will be out until after the All-Star break. The veteran has been dealing with a strain as of late, with the ailment causing him to miss the team's previous six contests. Look for Bruce Brown to continue to be the primary beneficiary, especially if Jeff Green (shoulder) continues to […]

Pascal Siakam Out Against Houston

Toronto Raptors forward Pascal Siakam will not play on Friday night against Houston due to the league's health and safety protocols. At this point, he should be considered day-to-day, as it is unknown whether or not he tested positive for COVID-19. With Siakam out of the equation, look for Chris Boucher to be the primary beneficiary. […]

Bam Adebayo Questionable Versus Jazz

Miami Heat center Bam Adebayo (knee) is listed as questionable for Friday's game against the Utah Jazz. He is dealing with left knee tendinosis, so the team might wait until pregame to make a final decision. Precious Achiuwa could be asked to jump into the starting five and he'd have low-end streaming appeal. Goran Dragic […]

Cam Reddish Might Sit Out On Friday

Atlanta Hawks forward Cam Reddish (Achilles) is listed as questionable for Friday's game against the Oklahoma City Thunder. He has missed each of the last two games, which has resulted in more playing time for Kevin Huerter and Tony Snell. It appears Reddish is getting closer to returning, but the team might play it safe […]

Tyler Herro Questionable Versus Jazz

Miami Heat guard Tyler Herro (hip) is listed as questionable for Friday's game against the Utah Jazz. He has missed two games in a row due to a right hip bruise, but it sounds like Herro is heading in the right direction. Andre Iguodala and Goran Dragic would be asked to play up the slack, […]

Saddiq Bey Questionable For Friday

Detroit Pistons forward Saddiq Bey (ankle) is listed as questionable for Friday's game against the Sacramento Kings. He tweaked his ankle during Wednesday's contest, but was able to play through the pain. The team might wait until pregame to see how Bey feels before making a final decision. Sviatoslav Mykhailiuk, Josh Jackson, and Sekou Doumbouya […]

Justise Winslow Won't Play Friday

Memphis Grizzlies guard Justise Winslow (rest) has been ruled out for Friday's game against the Los Angeles Clippers. It's not surprising that Memphis is going cautious with Winslow after he was sidelined for most of the season. De'Anthony Melton should see the biggest increase in playing time, but it's tough to recommend him as a […]

Cody Zeller Unlikely To Play Friday

Charlotte Hornets center Cody Zeller (hip) is unlikely to suit up for Friday's game against the Golden State Warriors. He has been downgraded to doubtful, so it doesn't sound like there's a good chance that Zeller plays here. Bismack Biyombo would most likely draw the start at center, while P.J. Washington would see increased value. […]

Tobias Harris Ruled Out Saturday

Philadelphia 76ers forward Tobias Harris (knee) has been ruled out for Saturday's game against the Cleveland Cavaliers. An MRI revealed no structural damage, but the Sixers are going to play it safe. The organization will re-evaluate Harris in 48 hours, so he could be back for their next game. Seth Curry, Shake Milton and Matisse […]

Jonas Valanciunas Could Miss Friday's Game

Memphis Grizzlies center Jonas Valanciunas (thigh) is listed as questionable for Friday's game against the Los Angeles Clippers. It's the second game of a back-to-back set, so it wouldn't be shocking to see the Grizzlies play it safe here. Xavier Tillman would see extended minutes and be a favorable streaming choice and DFS option for […]

Zion Williamson Fills Up The Box Score In Loss To Bucks

New Orleans Pelicans forward Zion Williamson scored 34 points with eight rebounds, six assists, a block, and a steal in a loss to the Bucks on Thursday. Williamson did have five turnovers- the second-most he's had in a game this season- though he made up for that with his solid contributions in the assist and […]

Donte DiVincenzo Scores Season-High 24 Points With Full Line

Milwaukee Bucks guard Donte Divincenzo played his best game of the season during Thursday's 129-125 win over New Orleans. DiVincenzo poured in a season-high 24 points with nine assists, matching his previous high this year. He filled out the line with seven boards, four triples, two steals, and a block in 35 minutes. DiVincenzo has […]

Giannis Antetokounmpo Puts Up 38 Points With 10 Boards

Milwaukee Bucks forward Giannis Antetokounmpo had another monster effort in a win over the Pelicans Thursday. Antetokounmpo scored 38 points with 10 rebounds, four assists, two triples, and a block in 38 minutes. Amazingly for his category managers, the Greek Freak made 8 of his 10 attempts from the line, which is the fourth time […]

Jamal Murray Hits Six Treys During 34-Point Performance

Denver Nuggets point guard Jamal Murray continued his scoring tear with a 34-point performance in Thursday's loss to Washington, shooting 12-for-23 from the field and sinking six three-point shots with 11 attempts. He added six rebounds, six assists, and two blocks to his line with five turnovers in 42 minutes. Murray's hot streak is at […]

Russell Westbrook Rolls To Another Triple-Double

Washington Wizards point guard Russell Westbrook notched his fourth triple-double in six games on Thursday, helping the team beat Denver with 16 points, 10 rebounds, and 10 assists. After going three straight games with 50-plus percent shooting, Westbrook's efficiency dropped to 6-for-17 from the field and he was 3-for-4 at the line. He also recorded […]
