15 hours agoCleveland Cavaliers forward/center Kevin Love (back) will now miss Sunday's meeting with the Los Angeles Clippers. Love was initially cleared to play, but is now being listed out as a late scratch. Love will now miss his third straight game due to back spasms and lower back soreness. Lamar Stevens and Dean Wade should see increased minutes off the bench while Jarrett Allen and Evan Mobley see the majority of the center minutes.--Dale JohnsonSource: Chris Fedor

16 hours agoLos Angeles Clippers forward Marcus Morris Sr. (ribs) will sit out Sunday against the Cleveland Cavaliers. Morris will miss his third straight game with a rib contusion after being labeled as questionable. The Clippers are sitting out a bunch of players on Sunday leaving Luke Kennard, Terance Mann and Nicolas Batum in prime position for increased roles.--Dale JohnsonSource: NBA Injury Report

16 hours agoLos Angeles Clippers forward Paul George (knee) will not play Sunday against the Cleveland Cavaliers. The Clippers are also sitting Kawhi Leonard (knee) and a few others in their lengthy injury report after playing in Atlanta on Saturday so George's injury shouldn't be of too much concern. With George and some other key rotation players out, Luke Kennard, Terance Mann and Nicolas Batum should see a high amount of minutes.--Dale JohnsonSource: NBA Injury Report

16 hours agoCleveland Cavaliers forward/center Kevin Love (back) will play Sunday against the Los Angeles Clippers. Love has missed the past two games with spasms and soreness in his lower back, but will make his return off the bench on Sunday. Dean Wade and Lamar Stevens saw some extra run with Love sidelined, but will likely see a reduction in minutes with Love back in action.--Dale JohnsonSource: Chris Fedor

16 hours agoCleveland Cavaliers guard Donovan Mitchell (groin) will play Sunday against the Los Angeles Clippers. Mitchell was questionable heading into Sunday with a groin strain, but appears to have progressed enough to play. Mitchell missed the last two games with the groin strain after reinjuring it. There's no report of a minutes restriction, but Cleveland will likely look to take it easy with Mitchell given the reinjury. Caris LeVert should head to the bench and take a hit in fantasy value.--Dale JohnsonSource: Chris Fedor

17 hours agoLos Angeles Lakers center Anthony Davis (foot) won't suit up on Monday against Brooklyn. Davis won't play versus Kyrie Irving and the Nets, presumably to get a night off on the front end of a back-to-back. However, barring a setback, he should be good to go for Tuesday's meeting with the Knicks. In the meantime, Thomas Bryant will likely enter the starting lineup and would undoubtedly see an uptick in interest in seasonal and DFS formats.--Dennis Clausen - RotoBallerSource: NBA Injury Report

17 hours agoBrooklyn Nets forward LeBron James (ankle) won't play on Monday in Brooklyn. The veteran is out again because of nagging left ankle soreness, an injury he's dealt with all year. With Anthony Davis (foot) also getting the night off, Russell Westbrook, Dennis Schroder, and Thomas Bryant should see a surge in interest from fantasy managers.--Dennis Clausen - RotoBallerSource: NBA Injury Report

17 hours agoPhiladelphia 76ers center Joel Embiid (foot) is questionable heading into Monday's game against the Orlando Magic. Embiid carried the same designation ahead of Saturday's win over Nikola Jokic and the Denver Nuggets. Yet, his nagging left foot soreness didn't stop him from finishing with 47 points, 18 rebounds, three steals, and two blocks. Nevertheless, if Embiid is ruled out, Montrezl Harrell will likely replace him in the starting lineup. However, Georges Niang, who scored 14 points versus Denver, should be the preferred fantasy option.--Dennis Clausen - RotoBallerSource: NBA Injury Report

17 hours agoNew Orleans Pelicans guard CJ McCollum (thumb) won't play on Sunday versus the Milwaukee Bucks. The veteran has a sprained thumb. However, considering he scored 24 points in 36 minutes in Saturday's win over the Washington Wizards, it's unknown how severe the injury is. With Zion Williamson (hamstring) and Brandon Ingram (toe) also out, Jonas Valanciunas, Trey Murphy III, and Herbert Jones should lead the way offensively. At the same time, guys like Jose Alvarado and Devonte' Graham could be more involved than usual.--Dennis Clausen - RotoBallerSource: NBA Injury Report

18 hours agoNew Orleans Pelicans guard Brandon Ingram (toe) won't play against the Milwaukee Bucks. Ingram, who scored 22 points on Saturday versus the Washington Wizards, recently returned after missing nearly two months with a left toe injury. As a result, he'll get the day off before presumably returning for Tuesday's meeting in Denver. With CJ McCollum (thumb) and Zion Williamson (hamstring) out as well, Jonas Valanciunas, Herbert Jones, Trey Murphy III, Devonte' Graham, and Jose Alvarado should all increase their statistical output. However, it's anyone's guess who will benefit the most.--Dennis Clausen - RotoBallerSource: NBA Injury Report

18 hours agoLos Angeles Clippers forward Robert Covington (personal) won't play against the Cavaliers, marking his second consecutive absence. LA will also be without Paul George (knee), Kawhi Leonard (knee), and John Wall (abdomen), so guys like Norman Powell, Ivica Zubac, and Terance Mann have streaming value. At the same time, Marcus Morris Sr. (ribs) and Luke Kennard (calf) could also benefit, although both are questionable.--Dennis Clausen - RotoBallerSource: NBA Injury Report

18 hours agoLos Angeles Clippers forward Kawhi Leonard (knee) won't play on Sunday against Cleveland. The veteran is getting the day off after scoring a game-high 32 points in Saturday's meeting with the Atlanta Hawks. Paul George (knee) and John Wall (abdomen) are also out, so the Clippers will look for others to step up. As a result, Terance Mann, Ivica Zubac, and Norman Powell are the favorites to lead the way offensively. At the same time, Marcus Morris Sr. (ribs) and Luke Kennard (calf), who are questionable, could see an uptick in production if available.--Dennis Clausen - RotoBallerSource: NBA Injury Report

21 hours agoCleveland Cavaliers forward Kevin Love (back) is questionable ahead of Sunday's meeting with the Los Angeles Clippers. The 34-year-old missed the last two games because of back spasms, allowing Dean Wade to log 26 minutes in the Cavs' recent game against OKC. With that said, with Evan Mobley and Jarrett Allen healthy, Love and Wade's fantasy upside is limited, although the former's is certainly much higher.--Dennis Clausen - RotoBallerSource: NBA Injury Report

21 hours agoChicago Bulls guard Lonzo Ball (knee) is "nowhere close" to returning, according to head coach Billy Donovan. He hasn't played since January 2022 after suffering a torn meniscus while dealing with complications along the way. Ball, who has two years remaining on his current deal, has averaged 11.9 points, 6.2 assists, and 5.7 rebounds while shooting 36.4% from downtown. Donovan didn't specify when or if the team would consider shutting Ball down for the remainder of the 2022-23 campaign, although he expects one to be had around the All-Star break. In the meantime, Ayo Dosunmu should remain in the starting lineup. However, his upside isn't nearly as high.--Dennis Clausen - RotoBallerSource: Julia Poe

21 hours agoPortland Trail Blazers forward Jerami Grant was reportedly offered a four-year, $112 million deal by the team. The 28-year-old has bounced around the association since being drafted in the second round of the 2014 NBA Draft, making stops in Philadelphia, OKC, Denver, Detroit, and Portland. He's arguably having the best year of his career, averaging 21.3 points, 4.4 rebounds, and 2.4 assists while shooting a career-high 42.1% from deep. Grant has yet to accept the offer. However, with Portland retaining his Bird Rights, he will be eligible for considerably more money come the offseason. Nevertheless, he'll certainly draw interest from clubs around the league, although the Blazers would love to keep him on the roster. Either way, Grant should continue to offer plenty of production for fantasy managers moving ahead, regardless of where he plays next.--Dennis Clausen - RotoBallerSource: Jake Fischer
