LaMelo Ball Not Expected To Play On Monday

Charlotte Hornets guard LaMelo Ball (ankle) is doubtful for Monday's game against the Bulls. The 23-year-old is having the best season of his career from a statistical standpoint, averaging 30.1 points with 7.4 assists, 5.3 rebounds, and 1.3 steals. However, he's missed nine of Charlotte's 31 games this season. With Brandon Miller (ankle) also not […]

Ayo Dosunmu Doubtful Versus The Hornets

Chicago Bulls guard Ayo Dosunmu (calf) is listed as doubtful for Monday's matchup with the Hornets. It was recently reported the 24-year-old would miss at least 10 days. However, the doubtful designation indicates he has a chance of suiting up on Monday evening. But fantasy managers shouldn't expect to Dosunmu on the floor after he […]

Cameron Johnson Exits Sunday's Meeting With Orlando

Brooklyn Nets forward Cameron Johnson (hip) didn't return to Sunday's loss to the Magic. The former Tar Heel is having a career-year, averaging 19.5 points and shooting 42.9% from behind the arc. He has also missed only two games after appearing in only 58 contests during the 2023-24 campaign. But with Johnson now dealing with […]

Jalen Suggs Injured On Sunday Afternoon

Orlando Magic guard Jalen Suggs (wrist) didn't return to Sunday's narrow win over the Nets. The 23-year-old logged only 13 minutes versus Brooklyn, finishing with eight points. Fortunately, the Magic don't play again until Wednesday in Detroit. But Orlando is already without Moritz Wagner (knee), Paolo Banchero (oblique), and Franz Wagner (oblique), so adding Suggs […]

Cameron Johnson Will Play On Sunday

Brooklyn Nets forward Cameron Johnson (hip) is available for Sunday's game against the Orlando Magic. Johnson is back in the mix after missing their last game due to a right hip contusion. He has been the primary scoring option with Cam Thomas (hamstring) sidelined for the last few weeks. However, Thomas is back for Sunday's […]

Cam Thomas Returning On Sunday

Brooklyn Nets guard Cam Thomas (hamstring) is available for Sunday's game against the Orlando Magic. Thomas is back in the mix after missing the last 13 games due to a strained left hamstring. The assumption is that Thomas is going to be operating under a minutes limit during his first game back. That being said, […]

Shake Milton Lands With Lakers

The Brooklyn Nets have traded guard Shake Milton and forward Dorian Finney-Smith to the Los Angeles Lakers on Sunday. In exchange, the Nets will receive guard D'Angelo Russell, forward Maxwell Lewis, and three second round picks. This was a good time to trade Milton after back-to-back solid performances. The 28-year-old probably won't be anything more […]

Dorian Finney-Smith Headed To Lakers

The Brooklyn Nets have traded forward Dorian Finney-Smith and guard Shake Milton to the Los Angeles Lakers on Sunday. In exchange, the Nets will receive guard D'Angelo Russell, forward Maxwell Lewis, and three second round picks. It's not shocking to see the rebuilding Nets move the 31-year-old forward. Finney-Smith doesn't put up flashy stats, but […]

D'Angelo Russell Traded To Nets

The Los Angeles Lakers have traded guard D'Angelo Russell, forward Maxwell Lewis, and three second-round picks to the Brooklyn Nets on Sunday. In exchange, forward Dorian Finney-Smith and guard Shake Milton will head to the Lakers. Russell has seen his playing time and production take a hit this season. He's averaging 12.4 points, 2.8 rebounds, […]

LeBron James Ruled Out On Saturday

Los Angeles Lakers forward LeBron James (illness) has been ruled out ahead of Saturday's game against the Sacramento Kings. The superstar forward was questionable coming into this game, but will sit out as the Lakers want to take the cautious approach here. Both Cam Reddish and Dalton Knecht should see expanded roles with James sidelined. […]

Isaiah Stewart Active For Saturday

Detroit Pistons center Isaiah Stewart (knee) is active ahead of Saturday's game against the Denver Nuggets. Stewart is back in the lineup after missing each of the last four games due to a hyperextended knee. His return to the lineup means that Paul Reed will see a reduced role and possibly fall out of the […]

Andre Drummond Downgraded To Out

Philadelphia 76ers center Andre Drummond (toe) has been downgraded to out ahead of Saturday's game against the Utah Jazz. This was an interesting turns of events considering Drummond started the day as probable, but now won't suit up for Saturday's game. Normally, Drummond's status wouldn't mean much, but starting center Joel Embiid (foot) remains uncertain […]

Toumani Camara Unavailable On Saturday

Portland Trail Blazers forward Toumani Camara (foot) has been ruled out for Saturday's game against the Dallas Mavericks. Camara will miss his first game of the season due to a left foot sprain. His absence leaves a decent sized hole to fill given Camara is averaging 30 minutes per game. Fellow forward Deni Avdija (back) […]

Robert Williams III Remains Out On Saturday

Portland Trail Blazers center Robert Williams III (ankle) has been ruled out ahead of Saturday's game against the Dallas Mavericks. The big man is set to miss his third game in a row due to a right ankle sprain. His absence isn't going to mean a ton with Deandre Ayton and Dovonan Clingan both healthy […]

Jamal Murray Upgraded To Available

Denver Nuggets guard Jamal Murray (ankle) has been upgraded to available ahead of Saturday's game against the Detroit Pistons. Murray is dealing with an ankle sprain, but has been able to play nearly 40 minutes in each of the last two games. It doesn't appear to be something that is going to cause Murray to […]

Draymond Green To Play On Saturday

Golden State Warriors forward Draymond Green (back) is available ahead of Saturday's game against the Phoenix Suns. Green is returning to the lineup after sitting out Friday's game due to a lower back contusion. The return of Green should mean that Kyle Anderson heads back to the bench after playing 15 minutes on Friday. Green […]

Stephen Curry Available On Saturday

Golden State Warriors guard Stephen Curry (knee) is available ahead of Saturday's game against the Phoenix Suns. The veteran guard sat out of Friday's contest versus the Los Angeles Clippers due to knee management. However, Curry is back in the mix for the second game of the back-to-back set. He figures to handle his regular […]

Matas Buzelis Suiting Up On Saturday

Chicago Bulls forward Matas Buzelis (illness) will be available for Saturday's game against the Milwaukee Bucks after missing one game due to illness.

Jalen Smith Ruled Out For Saturday

Chicago Bulls center Jalen Smith (ankle) will not play in Saturday's game against the Milwaukee Bucks due to a sore left ankle. Smith, who typically logs around 15 minutes per game, plays a key role in providing rebounding and defense off the bench. His next chance to return will be on Monday against the Hornets. […]

Lonzo Ball Available On Saturday

Chicago Bulls guard Lonzo Ball (illness) is available for Saturday night's game against the Milwaukee Bucks. Ball was sidelined for the previous two games due to illness, but he's set to return Saturday. Given his history with injuries, any appearance on the court is a welcome sight. This season, he's averaged 5.2 points, 3.6 assists, […]

After missing the past four games due to an ankle injury, Giddey is ready to get back on the court. The 22-year-old has been solid this season, averaging 11.9 points, 6.9 assists, and 6.4 rebounds. Fantasy managers will be […]

Giannis Antetokounmpo Won't Play Versus The Bulls

Milwaukee Bucks forward Giannis Antetokounmpo (illness) won't play on Saturday against the Bulls. Giannis is in the MVP conversation this season, averaging a career-high 32.7 points with 11.6 boards, 6.0 assists, and 1.5 blocks. However, he's missed the last three games. Without question, fantasy managers are hoping Antetokounmpo can get back on the floor on […]

Damian Lillard Will Return On Saturday Night

Milwaukee Bucks guard Damian Lillard (calf, illness) will return from a four-game absence for Saturday's meeting with the Chicago Bulls. The 34-year-old has played well this season, averaging 25.7 points, 7.5 assists, and 37.1% shooting from behind the arc. But with Giannis Antetokounmpo (illness) sidelined, Lillard could be even more productive, giving him added value […]

Jordan Poole Out On Saturday

Washington Wizards guard Jordan Poole (hip) has been ruled out for Saturday's game against the New York Knicks due to a bruised left hip. Poole has been a key offensive contributor this season, averaging 21.3 points and 31.6 minutes per game. With Poole sidelined, Malcolm Brogdon and Carlton Carrington are expected to start in the […]

Ayo Dosunmu Out At Least 10 Days

Chicago Bulls guard Ayo Dosunmu (calf) will miss time after suffering a calf strain in the December 23 matchup with the Milwaukee Bucks. He'll be re-evaluated in 10 days. Dosunmu is having the best season of his career, averaging 12.6 points and 4.8 assists. Without him, the team will look to Talen Horton-Tucker and Dalen […]
