Bub Carrington Upgraded To Available Thursday

Washington Wizards guard Bub Carrington (illness) has been upgraded from questionable to available on Thursday night and will face off against the Charlotte Hornets.

Scottie Barnes Cleared To Return Thursday

Toronto Raptors guard/forward Scottie Barnes (ankle) will return from a two-game absence on Thursday against Brooklyn. The team has upgraded him from questionable to available. Barnes' workload might be limited due to the nature of his injury, but he should be heavily involved in the offense when he's on the court, as Toronto won't have […]

RJ Barrett Ruled Out Thursday

According to Blake Murphy of Sportsnet.ca, Toronto Raptors forward RJ Barrett (illness) will be unavailable to suit up versus the Brooklyn Nets on Thursday due to an illness. Barrett hasn't missed a game since October 26th and was a late add-on to Thursday's injury report. While the 24-year-old is sidelined, Jamison Battle and Ja'Kobe Walter will […]

Kevin Huerter Available Thursday Versus Lakers

Fox 40 Sacramento's Sean Cunningham reported that Sacramento Kings guard Kevin Huerter (shoulder) is available for Thursday's matchup with the Los Angeles Lakers.

Huerter is likely not […]

Domantas Sabonis Set To Suit Up Against Lakers Thursday

According to Fox 40 Sacramento's Sean Cunningham, Sacramento Kings center Domantas Sabonis (back) is available to suit up against the Lakers on Thursday.

The 28-year-old has significantly impacted fantasy, recently registering averages of 23 points, […]

Bradley Beal Available Thursday

On Thursday, Phoenix Suns guard/forward Bradley Beal (knee) is available to suit up against the Indiana Pacers. Beal has missed two consecutive contests with swelling in his left knee. He will likely be back in the starting five in place of veteran Royce O'Neale. Before missing the Sun's last two games, the former Washington Wizard averaged 18.1 […]

Isaac Okoro Out At Least Two Weeks

According to Chris Fedor of The Cleveland Plain Dealer, Cleveland Cavaliers forward Isaac Okoro (shoulder) will be sidelined for at least two weeks due to a sprained AC joint in his right shoulder.

Scottie Barnes Listed As Questionable Thursday

Toronto Raptors guard/forward Scottie Barnes (ankle) might return to action on Thursday against Brooklyn, with the team listing him as questionable for the game. He suffered a nasty ankle sprain against the Knicks last week, but it looks like Barnes could end up missing just two contests because of the injury. It's been an injury-hit […]

Brandon Miller Questionable For Thursday's Game

Charlotte Hornets guard/forward Brandon Miller (ankle) has been listed as questionable for Thursday's encounter with Washington. He sprained his left ankle against Philadelphia on Monday and might be forced to come out of the lineup after making 21 consecutive appearances. It's been a big year for Miller, as he's averaging a career-high 21.5 points with […]

Alperen Sengun Questionable To Face Pelicans

Houston Rockets center Alperen Sengun (knee) is questionable for Thursday's tilt against New Orleans. The talented big man has been nursing a sore left knee lately but hasn't yet missed any games. Sengun is a major part of how the Rockets play, averaging 18.6 points, 10.6 rebounds, and 5.2 assists. Steven Adams (ankle) is also […]

Kristaps Porzingis Carries A Questionable Tag Thursday

Boston Celtics forward/center Kristaps Porzingis (heel) is in danger of missing Thursday's game against Chicago, with the team considering him questionable for the matchup. Porzingis exited Sunday's action against Washington with a heel contusion, and considering his injury history, it wouldn't be surprising if the team gave him some time off. However, Porzingis participated in […]

Domantas Sabonis Iffy For Meeting With Lakers

Sacramento Kings center Domantas Sabonis (back) is questionable for Thursday's matchup against the Lakers. He didn't practice on Wednesday and has landed on the injury report with a back contusion. Sabonis has previously missed two games this season, with Trey Lyles (calf) filling in for him in the starting unit. Lyles has sat out nine […]

Anthony Davis Likely Good To Go Thursday

Los Angeles Lakers forward/center Anthony Davis (foot) is considered probable for Thursday's action against Sacramento. He's battled a foot problem for the entire campaign but has missed only one contest, so it's safe to assume Davis will be out there on Thursday night. He's coming off a big 40-point double-double against Memphis and has looked […]

LeBron James Listed As Questionable Thursday

Los Angeles Lakers forward LeBron James (foot) is regarded as questionable for Thursday's meeting with the Kings. After missing two games, James was back in the lineup on Sunday versus Memphis. However, he still isn't 100 percent healthy, leaving the NBA-s all-time leading scorer with a questionable tag ahead of Thursday's action. Gabe Vincent might […]

Kyrie Irving Questionable For Thursday

Dallas Mavericks guard Kyrie Irving (shoulder) has been listed as questionable for Thursday's matchup against the Clippers. With Luka Doncic (heel) on the shell, Irving would get to play a huge role in the contest, but he might join his backcourt mate on the sidelines on Thursday. However, Irving came through a full practice on […]

Luka Doncic Misses Thursday's Action

Dallas Mavericks point guard Luka Doncic (heel) has been ruled out for Thursday's game against the Clippers. Doncic has missed a pair of practices lately and will sit out his seventh game of the season.

Trey Lyles A Full-Go In Wednesday’s Practice

Sacramento Kings forward Trey Lyles (calf) fully participated in Wednesday's practice, and there's a chance he could be available for Thursday's game against the Los Angeles Lakers. If either Domantas Sabonis or Keegan Murray can't play, Lyles could see a larger role in the frontcourt. He's shown his fantasy potential before, like when he posted […]

Kevin Huerter Uncertain for Thursday

Sacramento Kings guard Kevin Huerter (shoulder) is uncertain for Thursday's game against the Los Angeles Lakers due to a shoulder sprain. It's unclear how he will be labeled on the injury report, so fantasy managers should check for an update on Thursday.

Nuggets, Nets Hold "Exploratory Talks" Regarding Cameron Johnson

According to Evan Sidery of Forbes, the Nuggets and Nets held "exploratory talks" surrounding forward Cameron Johnson. The former Sun has been rumored to be on the move for a while. But with teams having more flexibility to make trades, things are starting to pick up steam. Johnson had a rocky 2023-24 campaign. However, he's […]

Keegan Murray Misses Wednesday’s Practice

Sacramento Kings forward Keegan Murray (ankle) did not practice Wednesday as he continues to deal with left ankle soreness. Murray missed his first game of the season on Monday, and his status for Thursday's matchup against the Lakers remains uncertain. Fantasy managers should monitor updates as more clarity emerges. The 24-year-old has been a key […]

Heat Reportedly Not Interested In Bradley Beal

According to Evan Sidery of Forbes, the Heat aren't interested in acquiring Phoenix Suns guard/forward Bradley Beal (knee). Talks surrounding a trade involving Jimmy Butler have picked up momentum over the last week, with the veteran expressing his desire to suit up in Phoenix or Golden State. However, with the Suns strapped for cash, a […]

Domantas Sabonis Misses Practice On Wednesday

Sacramento Kings center Domantas Sabonis did not practice Wednesday for undisclosed reasons, leaving his status for Thursday's game against the Los Angeles Lakers uncertain. The star big man has been a focal point of the Kings' offense, averaging 21.5 points, 13.1 rebounds, and 6.0 assists per game. Sabonis is a fantasy gem and a reliable […]

Trae Young Expected To Face The Spurs

Atlanta Hawks guard Trae Young (Achilles) is expected to play in Thursday's game against the Spurs. It's another game, although Young is back on the injury report due to right Achilles tendinitis. However, barring a significant setback, he should be out there on Thursday. The 26-year-old has averaged only 21.5 points this season, four points […]

Kawhi Leonard Progressing

Los Angeles Clippers forward Kawhi Leonard (knee) practiced on Wednesday. Even better, it was a full-contact session. The veteran is moving in a favorable direction and will accompany the Clippers on their three-game road trip. Unfortunately for fantasy managers, he still remains without a return date. Without question, Leonard is one of the most talented […]

Onyeka Okongwu Out At Least Four Games

Atlanta Hawks forward Onyeka Okongwu (knee) will miss at least four games due to left knee inflammation. He will be re-evaluated in a week. The 24-year-old is currently having the best season of his career, averaging 11.3 points and 6.6 rebounds. But while he's sidelined, Larry Nance Jr. could see some minutes at the five […]

Kobe Bufkin Done For The Rest Of The Season

Atlanta Hawks guard Kobe Bufkin (shoulder) will miss the remainder of the 2024-25 campaign. The 21-year-old has appeared in only 27 games during his two-year career. He has also played sparingly, averaging only 5.0 points in 11.9 minutes per contest. Unfortunately, Bufkin will need surgery to address instability in his right shoulder. With that said, […]
