8 hours agoDetroit Pistons forward/center Isaiah Stewart (hamstring) was injured during Monday's loss to Boston. As a result, he exited the contest and was ruled out shortly after. Head coach Monty Williams reported Stewart tweaked his hamstring. However, Williams indicated there wouldn't be an update on his condition until the team got home. The 22-year-old has averaged 11.1 points and 6.7 rebounds this season. But he's missed time throughout the 2023-24 campaign because of various injuries, and it appears he could sit out more games moving forward. That said, fantasy managers may not see Stewart on the floor on Wednesday versus the Pacers. If so, Evan Fournier or even Taj Gibson could see extra work.Source: Detroit Pistons
9 hours agoMiami Heat guard/forward Duncan Robinson (back) didn't return to Monday's loss to the 76ers. Robinson, who recently became the fastest player in NBA history to make 1,000 three-pointers, scored just three points before exiting after 24 minutes because of back discomfort. The 29-year-old has played well this season, averaging a career-high 13.7 points per contest. But Miami has been without Tyler Herro (foot) and Jimmy Butler (foot), so adding Robinson to the injury report isn't an ideal situation. There's a chance Butler will be back on Wednesday versus Cleveland. However, if Robinson or Butler can't suit up, Terry Rozier and Bam Adebayo would likely be the primary scoring options. Guys like Jaime Jaquez Jr. and Caleb Martin could also see more opportunities on the offensive end.Source: Ira Winderman
9 hours agoLos Angeles Lakers forward/center Anthony Davis (eye) will play against the Hawks on Monday evening. Davis logged only 12 minutes in Saturday's loss to the Warriors because of an eye injury. He had trouble with his vision, so the team labeled him questionable heading into this contest. However, his vision improved, which is good news for the Lakers, a team holding the final Play-In spot in the Western Conference. Davis has had an MVP-caliber season, meaning he should be in all fantasy lineups. But his presence means less work for Jaxson Hayes, who finished Saturday's game with seven points and 12 rebounds in 28 minutes.Source: Dave McMenamin
9 hours agoAtlanta Hawks forward/center Onyeka Okongwu (toe) will play on Monday against the Lakers. The 23-year-old missed over a month because of a big toe issue. However, the Hawks are glad to get him back, considering the team is holding on to the final Play-In spot in the Eastern Conference. Before going down with the injury, the 23-year-old had averaged a career-high 10.2 points with 7.0 rebounds and 1.1 blocks. While there's a chance Okongwu could see limited action in his first game back after a lengthy layoff, his presence means Bruno Fernando will have trouble getting minutes.Source: Kevin Chouinard
10 hours agoCharlotte Hornets guard Bryce McGowens (knee) won't be available ahead of Tuesday's game against the Orlando Magic. This marks the sixth game in a row that McGowens has missed due to swelling his in right knee. The absence of McGowens should open up additional playing time for Davis Bertans in the rotation. Bertans doesn't offer great upside outside of 3-pointers, so most fantasy managers can stay away. There should be better streaming options available for Tuesday's slate.Source: NBA Injury Report
11 hours agoWashington Wizards guard Tyus Jones (back) has been ruled out ahead of Tuesday's game against the Houston Rockets. Jones has missed each of the last two games and appears to be in line for a third straight absence. Jordan Poole has been asked to move into the starting five and he has played well there. Poole posted a 31-point performance during their last game against the Boston Celtics on Sunday. That being said, Poole appears to be worth the risk as a fantasy option while he's given extra run as a starter.Source: NBA Injury Report
11 hours agoWashington Wizards forward Deni Avdija (knee) has been ruled out ahead of Tuesday's game against the Houston Rockets. This doesn't come as shocking news after Avdija was a late scratch ahead of Sunday's contest. His absence opened up a spot for Corey Kispert in the starting five on Sunday. He didn't play well during that game, but Kispert is worth a look as a streaming option while Avdija is out.Source: NBA Injury Report
11 hours agoNew York Knicks forward OG Anunoby (elbow) is facing a multi-game absence. He has already been ruled out for Monday's matchup against Golden State, and according to ESPN's Adrian Wojnarowski, this won't be the only game Anunovy is expected to miss. Anunoby recently returned from a right elbow surgery, but the elbow has "flared up" again, according to Wojnarowski. New York plays Denver next on Thursday. Precious Achiuwa looks set for a fresh stint in the starting five without Anunoby available, with Josh Hart also getting extra run-outs. Achiuwa is close to averaging a double-double as a starter this season, while Hart has turned into a triple-double threat lately.Source: Adrian Wojnarowski
11 hours agoWashington Wizards forward Kyle Kuzma (shoulder) is considered questionable ahead of Tuesday's game against the Houston Rockets. Kuzma was forced to miss Sunday's game and is in danger of missing his second straight contest. Given the Wizards place in the standings, Kuzma seems more likely to sit out of this game. Washington doesn't have any incentive to play Kuzma at anything less than 100 percent healthy. Patrick Baldwin Jr. would likely move into the starting five if Kuzma is unable to play. Baldwin doesn't offer enough upside to warrant streaming in most fantasy formats.Source: NBA Injury Report
11 hours agoDallas Mavericks guard Luka Doncic (hamstring) is listed as probable ahead of Tuesday's game against the San Antonio Spurs. The star guard was able to play through his hamstring issue during Sunday's game. That being said, Doncic should be able to suit up on Tuesday, but the team will likely wait until closer to game time before making a final decision. Fantasy managers should check back on Tuesday for a final decision.Source: NBA Injury Report
11 hours agoWashington Wizards guard/forward Bilal Coulibaly (wrist) will miss the remainder of the regular season, the team announced on Monday. The 19-year-old Frenchman has been diagnosed with a right wrist fracture. He suffered the injury against Chicago on March 16. Coulibaly finishes his rookie campaign with averages of 8.4 points, 4.1 rebounds, 1.7 assists, 0.8 blocks, and 0.9 steals. He made 63 appearances, playing 27.2 minutes a night. Coulibaly was a starter in each of his last 11 games, and his absence opens up the door for Johnny Davis and Justin Champagnie to play a significant part in the team over the final few weeks of the season.Source: Washington Wizards
11 hours agoMinnesota Timberwolves center Rudy Gobert (rib) has been ruled out ahead of Monday's game against the Utah Jazz. The big man will be forced to miss his second straight game due to left rib strain. Naz Reid figures to move into the starting five once again. Reid has been providing first round value over the last two weeks. The Wolves are without Karl Anthony-Towns (knee) and Gobert which gives Reid plenty of run. Reid is a must-have player in all fantasy formats right now.Source: Alan Horton
11 hours agoPortland Trail Blazers point guard Scoot Henderson will rejoin the starting lineup on Monday versus Chicago and reportedly won't have any minutes restrictions. He's come off the bench in three of the past five games, averaging only 25.4 minutes. The 20-year-old rookie has seen 30.9 minutes as a starter across the season, scoring 13.6 points in the role and handing out 5.7 assists. The Bulls are mediocre at best defensively, so it's going to be exciting to see what Henderson can do now that he's back in a starting role. The lineup change pushes Dalano Banton to the bench, which is quite unfortunate for him after he's had a few really strong games lately. Anfernee Simons, Kris Murray, Toumani Camara, and Deandre Ayton make up the rest of the starting unit.Source: Casey Holdahl
11 hours agoPortland Trail Blazers guard/forward Matisse Thybulle (ankle) has shaken off injury ahead of Monday's tilt against Chicago and will be available for the contest after missing one game. Thybulle has done very well lately to live up to his reputation as a defensive specialist, recording six blocks and nine steals across his last four appearances. He's ranked third in the league with 1.8 steals per game, and Thybulle's high-level defensive ability secures him regular playing time. However, the 27-year-old offers very little offensively, which is something fantasy managers always must consider.Source: Portland Trail Blazers
11 hours agoPortland Trail Blazers forward Jerami Grant (hamstring) will miss a fourth consecutive game on Monday against Chicago. He was already considered doubtful for the clash on the initial injury report, and the team has now officially ruled him out. Grant is a high-usage player, and his absence gives the rest of the starting unit more offensive responsibilities. Additionally, Kris Murray and Toumani Camara have found themselves playing big roles during Grant's injury layoff, but both players are quite volatile fantasy assets due to their inconsistent play.Source: Portland Trail Blazers
