Jaxson Hayes Could Miss Up To Three Weeks

Los Angeles Lakers center Jaxson Hayes (ankle) will be sidelined for 2-3 weeks, according to ESPN's Shams Charania. The 24-year-old has appeared in only one game since logging 21 minutes in the November 10 win over the Toronto Raptors. Hayes hasn't done much to benefit fantasy managers this season, averaging only 6.4 points and 4.5 […]

Nick Richards Might Return Against The Hawks

Charlotte Hornets center Nick Richards (rib) is questionable for Saturday's game against the Hawks. The 26-year-old last played in the November 1 meeting with the Boston Celtics. However, he's been on the shelf since. With Grant Williams (knee) and Mark Williams (foot) on the shelf, the Hornets could certainly use him back on the floor, […]

LaMelo Ball Out At Least Two Weeks

Charlotte Hornets guard LaMelo Ball (calf) will be re-evaluated in two weeks because of a left calf strain. The 23-year-old has had an MVP-caliber season, averaging a career-high 31.3 points with 6.9 assists and 5.4 rebounds. Unfortunately, Ball will miss more time after appearing in only 58 games in the previous two seasons. With Tre […]

Stephen Curry In Danger Of Missing Another Contest

Golden State Warriors guard Stephen Curry (knee) is questionable heading into Saturday's meeting with the Suns. The veteran sharpshooter wasn't available for Wednesday's loss to OKC because of bilateral knee pain. As a result, Brandin Podziemski entered the starting lineup and finished with 12 points, eight rebounds, and five assists. If Curry remains out on […]

Jonathan Kuminga Likely To Play Against The Suns

Golden State Warriors forward Jonathan Kuminga (illness) is expected to suit up on Saturday night against the Suns. The 22-year-old missed a few games before returning on Wednesday against OKC. He scored 19 points, although he shot a rough 3-for-10 from behind the arc. With Stephen Curry (knees) in danger of missing another contest, Kuminga […]

Andrew Wiggins Questionable Versus Phoenix

Golden State Warriors forward Andrew Wiggins (ankle) is questionable heading into Saturday's contest versus the Phoenix Suns. The veteran is playing much better than he did last season, averaging 17.4 points and shooting a career-high 41.0% from behind the arc. With Stephen Curry (knees) in danger of missing Saturday's meeting, Wiggins could see more scoring […]

Bradley Beal Uncertain To Face The Warriors

Phoenix Suns guard/forward Bradley Beal (calf) is questionable against Golden State on Saturday. Beal recently returned from a lengthy absence because of a calf injury. However, he may not be fully-healthy, considering he appeared to be laboring the injury in Wednesday's game versus the Brooklyn Nets. If he can't get on the floor, Kevin Durant […]

Jusuf Nurkic On The Injury Report For Saturday

Phoenix Suns center Jusuf Nurkic (quadriceps) is questionable for Saturday's game versus Golden State. The big man has spent plenty of time on the injury report throughout the 2024-25 campaign. However, a quad contusion is the latest ailment jeopardizing his availability. If Nurkic can't suit up, Mason Plumlee, averaging 9.7 points and 11.0 boards in […]

Luka Doncic Unlikely To Play Against Utah

Dallas Mavericks guard Luka Doncic (wrist) is doubtful for Saturday's game in Utah. The doubtful designation is at least a step in the right direction. However, it appears the 25-year-old will miss a fifth-straight game due to a sprained right wrist. As expected, Kyrie Irving is the favorite to lead the way offensively if Doncic […]

Giannis Antetokounmpo Expected To Return Versus Washington

Milwaukee Bucks forward Giannis Antetokounmpo (knee) is probable for Saturday's matchup versus the Washington Wizards. The multi-time All-Star was also probable heading into Wednesday's meeting with the Miami Heat. However, he was downgraded shortly before tip-off and wasn't on the floor. As a result, Damian Lillard went crazy, scoring 37 points and shooting 8-for-13 from […]

Klay Thompson Still Out On Saturday

Dallas Mavericks forward Klay Thompson (ankle) remains sidelined for Saturday's meeting with the Utah Jazz. The veteran will now miss his third-consecutive contest because of a left foot injury, although it's unknown when he'll be healthy enough to return. With Luka Doncic (wrist) doubtful, fantasy managers should expect an increase in production from Kyrie Irving, […]

Kyle Kuzma Out On Saturday Night

Washington Wizards forward Kyle Kuzma (groin) won't suit up for Saturday's matchup with the Milwaukee Bucks. Kuzma injured his groin during Wednesday's game against the Los Angeles Clippers, so fantasy managers already had an idea this was coming. He's already missed five games this season because of a rib injury. However, it's anyone's guess when […]

Kevin Love Upgraded To Available

Miami Heat forward/center Kevin Love (back) will be active on Friday against Toronto. Back spasms kept Love out on Wednesday versus Charlotte, but he makes a quick return, with Miami upgrading him from questionable to available. The veteran big man has lost most of his fantasy appeal in Year 17 in the Association, averaging 6.6 […]

Paul George Questionable Against The Pistons

Philadelphia 76ers forward Paul George (knee) is questionable for Saturday's game against the Pistons. The 34-year-old hyperextended his left knee in the November 20 matchup versus the Memphis Grizzlies and has missed the last three games. He practiced in full on Friday. However, this is George's second time dealing with this issue, so the team […]

Tobias Harris Active Versus Pacers

Detroit Pistons forward Tobias Harris (hip) has been upgraded from questionable to available ahead of tip-off against Indiana on Friday. The veteran returns to the lineup after missing the previous game with a hip issue. Through 19 appearances, Harris has been limited to 13.8 points on 44.4 percent shooting this season, grabbing 7.2 rebounds. Harris' […]

Cade Cunningham Returns To Pistons Lineup Friday

Detroit Pistons guard Cade Cunningham (hip) will rejoin the action on Friday versus Indiana. He was initially listed as questionable on the injury report. Cunningham returns from a three-game absence and lines up in a fascinating matchup against Tyrese Haliburton. The Pistons star outplayed his counterpart in this season's first meeting, netting 28 points with […]

Jalen Smith Back For Bulls Friday

Chicago Bulls forward/center Jalen Smith (ankle) will return from a one-game absence on Friday against Boston. The 24-year-old missed Wednesday's clash against Orlando with an ankle injury and was initially regarded as questionable for Friday's NBA Cup action. Smith operates as Nikola Vucevic's backup, which limits his fantasy value. He has averaged 8.0 points and […]

Dalen Terry Ready To Face Celtics

Chicago Bulls guard/forward Dalen Terry (ankle) will be in the lineup on Friday against Boston. The 22-year-old injured his right ankle on Wednesday versus Orlando, playing only two minutes, but he won't be forced to miss additional time. Terry has carved out a spot in the Bulls rotation but doesn't carry any fantasy value. He […]

Lonzo Ball Available Against Celtics

Chicago Bulls point guard Lonzo Ball (wrist) will officially be active against Boston on Friday. He's expected to be limited to 15-16 minutes. Ball has just returned from a 15-game absence. He posted six points, three assists, four steals, two steals, and two blocks in 15 minutes against Orlando on Wednesday. The numbers show that […]

Dorian Finney-Smith Will Not Play On Friday

Brooklyn Nets forward Dorian Finney-Smith (ankle) has been ruled out for Friday's matchup against Orlando. The versatile veteran is battling an ankle issue, sitting out for the third time in four games. Luckily for the Nets, they will have Jalen Wilson (calf) back in the lineup on Friday, and he should soak in some of […]

Jalen Wilson Available On Friday

Brooklyn Nets small forward Jalen Wilson (calf) will be in action on Friday against Orlando. The team has upgraded Wilson from questionable to available. He'll be back on the court after missing the previous game due to calf tightness. Wilson is currently getting extra work in the rotation because Brooklyn is battling injuries. This gives […]

Cameron Johnson Good To Go Versus Magic

Brooklyn Nets forward Cameron Johnson (ankle) has received the green light to play against Orlando on Friday. A sprained ankle gave him a questionable tag ahead of the contest, but Brooklyn has now upgraded Johnson to available. The 28-year-old has been in fine form this campaign, putting up a career-high 17.9 points with close to […]

Luke Kornet Cleared To Face Chicago

Boston Celtics center Luke Kornet (hamstring) will play on Friday against Chicago. The big man has been battling a hamstring strain for a while. However, it won't keep him off the floor. But with Kristaps Porzingis and Al Horford available, Kornet will have a tough time getting minutes, meaning fantasy managers need to keep him […]

Nicolas Claxton Returns To Nets Lineup

Brooklyn Nets center Nicolas Claxton (back) will re-enter the lineup Friday versus Orlando. He's been out for two games with a back issue, and the team initially listed him as questionable for the game. Claxton has been limited to 8.5 points and 7.7 rebounds in 24.5 minutes across 13 appearances this season. He's not a […]

Norman Powell Remains Out On Friday

Los Angeles Clippers guard/forward Norman Powell (hamstring) will miss a sixth straight game on Friday against Minnesota. Powell remains out after initially having a questionable tag. Amir Coffey will likely continue to start for Powell. He has done a good job filling in for Powell, but Coffey's game doesn't translate very well into fantasy basketball. […]

Coby White Active Versus Boston

Chicago Bulls guard Coby White (wrist) is available for Friday's matchup versus the Celtics. White has played well this season, averaging 18.7 points while shooting a career-high 38.9% from deep. He also hasn't missed a game, although a wrist injury put his status in jeopardy. With that in mind, the 24-year-old should be starting in […]

Jimmy Butler Available On Friday Night

Miami Heat forward Jimmy Butler (back) will play on Friday night against Toronto. The veteran has been on the injury report for most of the season. He missed four games because of an ankle injury. Yet, he's recently been dealing with back tightness, although he was probable heading into this one. Butler has struggled this […]
