Daniel Gafford To Miss Saturday's Clash Against Boston

Washington Wizards center Daniel Gafford (quadriceps) won't play during Saturday's matchup against the visiting Celtics. He had been labeled with a doubtful tag heading toward the showdown, so the latest update shouldn't alarm fantasy managers by any means.

Robert Williams III Out Against Wizards

Boston Celtics center Robert Williams III (illness) isn't available for Saturday's matchup in Washington.

Jerami Grant Expected To Be In The Lineup On Saturday

Detroit Pistons forward Jerami Grant (oblique) is in line to play during Sunday's matchup against Orlando.

Nonetheless, with the potential lingering effects of the ailment […]

Brandon Ingram Unlikely To Play Against The Knicks

New Orleans Pelicans forward Brandon Ingram (hip) is unlikely to suit up against the Knicks. A bruise on the right hip of the 24-year-old continues to plague him, which puts him in danger of also missing Tuesday's matchup in Phoenix.

Nerlens Noel Out Against Pelicans

New York Knicks center Nerlens Noel (knee) will miss another one on Saturday. The veteran hasn't played this season as he continues to be plagued by lingering left knee soreness. His next chance to make it back will come on Monday evening against Toronto. However, in the meantime, Taj Gibson and Obi Toppin should continue […]

Daniel Gafford Doubtful On Saturday Night

Washington Wizards center Daniel Gafford (quadriceps) is doubtful for Saturday's matchup against the visiting Celtics. The former 2019 second-round pick injured his quad on Wednesday versus Boston. He, fortunately, didn't suffer any structural damage, but it appears as if he will need some more time to rest before getting back on the floor. In his […]

Robert Williams III A Game-Time Call For Saturday

Boston Celtics center Robert Williams III (illness) is questionable for Sunday's matchup in Washington. The big man is dealing with a sickness, although fortunately, it's of the non-COVID variety, which at least gives him a shot to suit up against the Wizards.
