Ivica Zubac Questionable For Thursday Night

Los Angeles Clippers center Ivica Zubac (calf) is questionable ahead of Thursday's matchup against the Lakers. Zubac didn't play on Monday night versus the Pacers, opening the door for Serge Ibaka to log 22 minutes and finish with a double-double along with two blocks. Nevertheless, if Zubac misses another one, Ibaka should remain on the […]

LaMarcus Aldridge To Miss At Least A Few More Games

Brooklyn Nets forward LaMarcus Aldridge (ankle) is expected to miss a few more games. The veteran sprained his left ankle during Saturday's loss to the Golden State Warriors and hasn't been in the lineup since. Fortunately, he is expected back sometime before the All-Star break. Yet, fantasy managers shouldn't be surprised if he doesn't make […]

P.J. Tucker In Danger Of Missing Another Game

Miami Heat forward P.J. Tucker (knee) may miss Thursday's contest in San Antonio. The veteran continues to deal with left knee irritation, and with Jimmy Butler (toe), Kyle Lowry (personal), and Caleb Martin (Achilles) questionable, the timing couldn't be any worse. Nonetheless, there is a lot of uncertainty entering this one. However, if Butler or […]

Caleb Martin Questionable Against The Spurs

Miami Heat forward Caleb Martin (Achilles) has been deemed questionable ahead of Thursday's matchup in San Antonio. The 26-year-old is currently dealing with Left Achilles soreness, which is unfortunate considering Jimmy Butler (toe) may not play. P.J. Tucker (knee) and Kyle Lowry (personal) also carry a questionable designation, so Martin could see a bump in […]

Kyle Lowry Back With The Team, Questionable Against The Spurs

Miami Heat guard Kyle Lowry (personal) is questionable for Thursday's meeting against the Spurs. The veteran has missed his previous nine games. However, he has joined the team in San Antonio while being upgraded on the injury report, so it appears as if he is inching closer to a return. Nonetheless, fantasy managers should continue […]

Jae Crowder Listed As Probable For Thursday Night

Phoenix Suns forward Jae Crowder (wrist) is probable for Thursday's outing against Atlanta. The 31-year-old missed his previous four games because of a left wrist contusion before returning on Tuesday versus the Nets. He logged 25 minutes in that one, although he struggled by finishing with three points on a horrid 1-for-5 shooting. Nonetheless, it's […]

Deandre Ayton Probable Versus Atlanta

Phoenix Suns center Deandre Ayton (ankle) is probable for Thursday night's showdown against the Atlanta Hawks.

Trae Young Questionable On Thursday Night

Atlanta Hawks guard Trae Young (shoulder) is questionable for Thursday's matchup versus the Suns. The 23-year-old is dealing with a right shoulder contusion, and he didn't suit up during the Hawks' previous contest against the Raptors as a result. Delon Wright took Young's spot in the rotation for that one, and although he finished with […]

AL Outfielders Set to Bust for Fantasy Baseball

In previous seasons, the outfield position has been one of the deepest positions to find top-end talent as well as deeper talent. In 2022, this appears to be the case again as the top-250 players based on ADP are littered with talent at the position. That being said, there are several land mines sprinkled throughout […]

Anthony Davis To Play On Wednesday

Los Angeles Lakers center Anthony Davis (wrist) is available for Wednesday's game against the Portland Trail Blazers. It seems normal for Davis to be listed as probable, but there was really no doubt in his status here. He looked fine during their last contest and shouldn't be limited at all on Wednesday. LeBron James (knee) […]

Jimmy Butler Listed As Questionable For Thursday

Miami Heat forward Jimmy Butler (toe) is listed as questionable for Thursday's game against the San Antonio Spurs. He was able to play 40 minutes on Tuesday and didn't seem to have any issues.

De'Aaron Fox Remains Sidelined Against Nets

Sacramento Kings guard De'Aaron Fox (ankle) has been ruled out for Wednesday's game against the Brooklyn Nets. This marks the sixth game in a row that Fox has missed due to left ankle soreness. Possibly, the Kings are playing it safe and holding out Fox until the All-Star break. Tyrese Haliburton and Davion Mitchell have […]

Isaiah Jackson Exits Early On Wednesday

Indiana Pacers center Isaiah Jackson (ankle) was a bust for anyone who trusted him in fantasy formats on Wednesday. He exited the game within the first minute due to a right ankle sprain. He was unable to return to Wednesday's game against the Orlando Magic. This is a tough blow considering Jackson was the only […]

Udoka Azubuike Starting On Wednesday

Utah Jazz center Udoka Azubuike will move into the starting five for Wednesday's game against the Denver Nuggets. Rudy Gobert (calf) and Hassan Whiteside (back) will both be sidelined for this contest. Luckily for Azubuike, reigning MVP Nikola Jokic (toe) is sitting out on Wednesday.

Jordan Clarkson Ruled Out For Wednesday

Utah Jazz guard Jordan Clarkson (knee) has been ruled out for Wednesday's game against the Denver Nuggets. The Jazz are without a number of their key players for this matchup. That being said, Mike Conley should run the offense with Jared Butler and Trent Forest (ankle) having increased roles. Conley is already looking like an […]

Aaron Gordon Ruled Out Against Jazz

Denver Nuggets forward Aaron Gordon (hamstring) has been ruled out for Wednesday's game against the Utah Jazz. He'll join Nikola Jokic (toe) and DeMarcus Cousins (foot) on the sideline. That being said, JaMychal Green and Jeff Green should have plenty of streaming appeal with the Nuggets shorthanded. Will Barton should be the primary scoring option […]

Nikola Jokic Out On Wednesday

Denver Nuggets center Nikola Jokic (toe) has been ruled out for Wednesday's game against the Utah Jazz. The Nuggets have decided to rest the reigning MVP against the beat up Jazz roster. Udoka Azubuike is starting at center for Utah, so they decided to be cautious with Jokic. DeMarcus Cousins (foot) is sidelined as well, […]
