Houston Tags Daniel Theis As Questionable For Thursday

Houston Rockets power forward/center Daniel Theis (toe) has been deemed questionable to suit up for Thursday's contest vs. the Suns. Theis was unavailable Tuesday due to a sore big toe on his right foot, allowing Alperen Sengun to draw the first start of his career. Should Theis once again be unavailable, look for Sengun to […]

Kyle Kuzma Departs Wednesday’s Contest With Injury

Washington Wizards small/power forward Kyle Kuzma (forearm) has been ruled out for the remainder of Wednesday's game against the Raptors due to a right forearm contusion. Kuzma has gotten off to a strong start to the 2021-22 campaign, entering the night averaging 15.9 points and 11 boards per contest. But prior to his departure, Kuzma […]

Luguentz Dort Earns Questionable Tag For Thursday

Oklahoma City Thunder shooting guard Luguentz Dort (shoulder) has been deemed questionable to play in Thursday's contest against the Lakers due to a shoulder ailment. Dort has scuffled from the field across his first six outings, shooting 35.4 percent overall, including just 22.6 percent from behind the arc. Should Dort be forced to miss the […]

Anthony Davis Likely To Play Thursday

Los Angeles Lakers forward Anthony Davis (knee) is probable for Thursday's game against Oklahoma City. Davis should be out there after playing 32 minutes in his last game- in which he racked up 27 points, nine rebounds, three assists, three blocks, and two steals. The Thunder have allowed the seventh-most FanDuel points per game to […]

Davis Bertans Will Be Monitored On Week-To-Week Basis

Washington Wizards power forward Davis Bertans (ankle) will miss at least the remainder of the upcoming week, with head coach Wes Unseld Jr. deeming him "week-to-week" for the time being. The Wizards are set for two more contests in the current week, meaning Bertans will miss at least three games due to the injury that […]

LeBron James Listed As Questionable Against Thunder

Los Angeles Lakers forward LeBron James (ankle) is questionable for Thursday's contest against the Thunder. James was "questionable" over the last three games- he played at least 35 minutes in each game while putting up 25-plus points, eight or more assists, and two-plus steals in two of those games. The King will be out there […]

Deandre Ayton Questionable For Thursday's Game

Phoenix Suns center Deandre Ayton (leg) is questionable for Thursday's game against the Rockets. Ayton missed Tuesday's game due to the injury, and his status could be up in the air for Thursday's game as well. The Arizona product's absence opened up more minutes and usage for JaVale McGee and Frank Kaminsky- who put up […]

Dillon Brooks Nearing Return To Grizzlies

Memphis Grizzlies guard Dillon Brooks (hand) is nearing a return to the team. Brooks practiced with the team's G-League affiliate- and the team announced on Twitter that Brooks would be assigned to play in a simulated game. It's not clear how much of a build-up he'll require, as he has yet to take part in […]

Jarred Vanderbilt Heading To The Bench Wednesday

Minnesota Timberwolves forward Jarred Vanderbilt will head to the bench for Wednesday's game against the Clippers. Josh Okogie will slide back into the starting five. True to his word, head coach Chris Finch made Vanderbilt starting a temporary development. The 22-year-old delivered some solid lines as a starter, particularly in the point and rebound categories […]

Donovan Mitchell Listed As Questionable For Thursday

Utah Jazz guard Donovan Mitchell (ankle) is questionable for Thursday's contest against the Hawks. Mitchell tweaked his ankle at some point during Tuesday's victory over the Kings, though it didn't affect his game much, as he poured in a season-high 36 points with eight boards, six assists, and five triples made. Fantasy managers will want […]

Doug McDermott Enters Starting Five Against Dallas

San Antonio Spurs forward Doug McDermott (knee) will start in his return to the court Wednesday. McDermott was averaging a career-high 2.5 makes per game from downtown before his injury- so he could be a viable streamer for those looking for threes Wednesday. Joining McDermott in the starting five will be Dejounte Murray, Derrick White, […]

Kristaps Porzingis To Miss Another Game Wednesday

Dallas Mavericks forward Kristaps Porzingis (back) will miss his fifth straight game on Wednesday against the Spurs. Porzingis continues to deal with a lingering back issue, and it's fair to wonder if the team will shut him down for an extended period to get him healthy again. Meanwhile, fellow forward Maxi Kleber (oblique) will also […]

Patrick Beverley Set To Play Against Clippers

Minnesota Timberwolves guard Patrick Beverley (calf) is set to play and will start in Wednesday's game against the Clippers. Beverley looks set for a big role against his former team without D'Angelo Russell (ankle) in the lineup. The veteran guard is averaging 8.4 assists, 1.7 steals, and 1.7 blocks per 36 minutes, meaning he could […]

Trae Young, Bogdan Bogdanovic Available Wednesday

Atlanta Hawks guard Trae Young (knee) and Bogdan Bogdanovic (back), listed as probable, are available to play in Wednesday's game against the Nets. Young has been a little banged up to start the year, though it didn't affect him his last time out, as he dropped 26 points with six dimes while draining all 11 […]

John Collins To Play Wednesday

Atlanta Hawks forward John Collins (foot), listed as a game-time call, will play Wednesday against the Nets. Collins was dealing with a left foot sprain, but will be healthy enough to suit up against a thin Nets frontcourt. The talented forward is averaging 15.4 points and 9.7 rebounds and will get an excellent matchup against […]

Matisse Thybulle In Wednesday's Starting Lineup

Philadelphia 76ers guard Matisse Thybulle is in Wednesday night's starting lineup for the game against the Bulls. Down Tobias Harris and Danny Green (hamstring), the Sixers will turn to Thybulle- who is making his first start of the season. The 24-year-old offers excellent defensive upside, as he's averaging 2.4 steals and 1.4 blocks per game […]

Nerlens Noel Set To Play Wednesday

New York Knicks center Nerlens Noel (knee), who has yet to play this season, will take the court for the first time on Wednesday against the Pacers. Head coach Tom Thibodeau didn't specify whether Noel would see a full complement of minutes, though it would be surprising to see him thrown into the fire given […]

Lauri Markkanen To Miss Several Games

Cleveland Cavaliers forward Lauri Markkanen entered the league's health and safety protocols Wednesday and will miss several games. Markkanen did not participate in the team's shootaround and will not accompany the Cavs on their two-game road trip. In his absence Wednesday, forward Dean Wade will draw the start. Wade could be on the DFS radar […]

Isaac Okoro Remains Sidelined On Wednesday

Cleveland Cavaliers forward Isaac Okoro (hamstring) will not suit up for Wednesday's game against the Portland Trail Blazers. He continues to sit out while dealing with a lingering hamstring issue. It wouldn't be shocking to see Okoro limited once he does finally get back on the court. The Cavs are likely going to use a […]

Maxi Kleber Won't Play Against Spurs

Dallas Mavericks center Maxi Kleber (oblique) has been ruled out for Wednesday's game against the San Antonio Spurs. It appears the Mavs big man will miss both games of the back-to-back set. Luckily, Kristaps Porzingis (back) is being listed as questionable and hopeful to play on Wednesday. However, it wouldn't be surprising to see the […]

Doug McDermott Returning On Wednesday

San Antonio Spurs forward Doug McDermott (knee) has been upgraded to available for Wednesday's game against the Dallas Mavericks. The veteran forward has missed each of the last three games while dealing with a lingering knee issue. Before the injury, McDermott was shooting the ball well, so the Spurs are hopeful that continues. It doesn't […]

Brandon Ingram Expected To Sit Versus Kings

New Orleans Pelicans forward Brandon Ingram (hip) is listed as questionable for Wednesday's game against the Sacramento Kings. He was unable to play during Tuesday's contest while dealing with a hip issue. The Pelicans are normally overly cautious with their players, so there's a good chance that Ingram sits out. That means, Nickeil Alexander-Walker and […]

Patrick Beverley Could Play Against Clippers

Minnesota Timberwolves guard Patrick Beverley (calf) is listed as questionable for Wednesday's game against the Los Angeles Clippers. He has been dealing with some left calf soreness, but was able to practice on Tuesday. There is a good chance that Beverley returns to the floor D'Angelo Russell (ankle) already ruled out. Beverley would likely be […]

Jakob Poeltl To Miss Next Several Games

San Antonio Spurs center Jakob Poeltl could be sidelined possibly 10 days. He has entered the league's health and safety protocols, which is a crushing blow to San Antonio. The young center was having a monster season, but is now looking at missing multiple games. He will have to return consecutive negative PCR tests 24 […]

Kristaps Porzingis Might Play Versus Spurs

Dallas Mavericks center Kristaps Porzingis (back) is listed as questionable for Wednesday's game against the San Antonio Spurs. The superstar big man has been sitting out recently due to back stiffness. However, head coach Jason Kidd is hopeful Porzingis can return for the second game of the back-to-back set. Honestly, you can never know with […]

Rudy Gobert Racks Up 20 Boards, Four Blocks
