Cleveland Cavaliers guard Darius Garland (jaw) suffered a fractured jaw during Thursday night's game against the Boston Celtics and he is now going to miss about a month.

Shai Gilgeous-Alexander Scores 43 Points In Battle With Kings

Oklahoma City Thunder guard Shai Gilgeous-Alexander went blow-for-blow with opposing point guard De'Aaron Fox but the team came up short by five points on Thursday night.

Sacramento Kings guard De'Aaron Fox posted a big-time performance to lead the team to a 128-123 win over the Oklahoma City Thunder on Thursday night.

Amen Thompson Tagged As Questionable Versus Grizzlies

Houston Rockets guard Amen Thompson (illness) returned on Monday from a 15-game absence due to an ankle sprain, then he picked up an illness afterward and was forced to miss their game on Wednesday.

Malcolm Brogdon Expected To Suit Up

Portland Trail Blazers guard Malcolm Brogdon (knee) is expected to suit up for Thursday's game against the Utah Jazz. The veteran guard sat out their last game due to right knee soreness. However, Brogdon will play on Thursday and isn't expected to be limited at all during this game. He'll likely be paired with Scoot […]

Jamal Murray Available On Thursday

Denver Nuggets guard Jamal Murray (ankle) is available for Thursday's game against the Brooklyn Nets. He was listed as probable coming into the game as Murray is dealing with multiple ankle injuries. Despite that, Murray will suit up and is expected to play his normal role on Thursday. He'll start alongside Justin Holiday, Michael Porter […]

Kyrie Irving Remains Sidelined On Thursday

Dallas Mavericks guard Kyrie Irving (heel) will miss a third consecutive game on Thursday versus Minnesota. He injured his right heel against Portland last week. Irving is wearing a walking boot and using crutches, so it might take a while until he's ready to play again. Seth Curry (ankle) moved into the starting lineup as […]

Seth Curry Questionable Thursday

Dallas Mavericks guard Seth Curry (ankle) is on the injury report as questionable ahead of Thursday's meeting with the Timberwolves. He made an early exit Tuesday against the Lakers due to left ankle soreness and might have to come out of the lineup completely on Thursday. Curry has started the last two games as Kyrie […]

Jordan McLaughlin Questionable For Thursday

Minnesota Timberwolves point guard Jordan McLaughlin (knee) could be out of the lineup again on Thursday, with the team listing him as questionable for an encounter with Dallas. He made his first appearance in a month on Monday versus New Orleans, but McLaughlin continues to nurse an MCL sprain in his right knee. The 27-year-old […]

Alex Caruso Questionable Thursday

Chicago Bulls guard Alex Caruso (ankle) is regarded as questionable for Thursday's matchup against Miami. He's in danger of missing a third straight contest with a left ankle sprain.

Immanuel Quickley Available On Wednesday

New York Knicks guard Immanuel Quickley (knee) is available for Wednesday's game against the Utah Jazz. After sitting out Monday, Quickly is back in the lineup for the first game of this road trip.

Trae Young Probable Wednesday

Atlanta Hawks point guard Trae Young (shoulder) is listed as probable for Wednesday's matchup against Toronto. He's dealing with soreness in his right shoulder but is expected to be good to go.

Bones Hyland Available On Tuesday

Los Angeles Clippers guard Bones Hyland (shoulder) is available ahead of Tuesday's game against the Sacramento Kings. Hyland sat out of their last game due to a right shoulder strain.

Kentavious Caldwell-Pope Returns To Tuesday's Game

Denver Nuggets guard Kentavious Caldwell-Pope (head) has returned to the court for Tuesday's game against the Chicago Bulls. The veteran guard was considered questionable to return after suffering a head contusion during the first quarter.

Chris Paul Back For Warriors On Tuesday

Golden State Warriors point guard Chris Paul (illness) is set to return to the lineup on Tuesday versus Phoenix after the team removed him from the injury report.

Gabe Vincent Remains Out On Tuesday

Los Angeles Lakers guard Gabe Vincent (knee) has been ruled out for another game ahead of Tuesday's contest against Dallas.

Malik Monk Available On Monday

Sacramento Kings guard Malik Monk (illness) will suit up for Monday's game against the Brooklyn Nets. Both Monk and Colby Jones (back) will play after dealing with minor injuries coming into the game. Monk has been one of the league's best sixth men this season. That being said, fantasy managers should make sure to get […]

Bones Hyland To Sit Out On Monday

Los Angeles Clippers guard Bones Hyland (shoulder) has been ruled out for Monday's game against the Portland Trail Blazers. It appears the Clippers are going to hold out Hyland while he recovers from a right shoulder strain. His absence won't be a big loss for Los Angeles considering Hyland hasn't been a huge part of […]

Trae Young Ejected On Monday

Atlanta Hawks guard Trae Young has been ejected from Monday's game against the Denver Nuggets. The superstar guard was thrown out from the contest after getting two technical fouls. He received the first foul for arguing a non-call at the basket and then received the second tech for continuing to argue. Dejounte Murray and Bogdan […]

Malcolm Brogdon Ruled Out Monday

Portland Trail Blazers guard Malcolm Brogdon (knee) has been ruled out for Monday's game against the Los Angeles Clippers. The veteran guard will sit this one out as he continues to deal with knee soreness. His absence should mean that Anfernee Simons will continue to be the team's point guard. The absence of Brogdon means […]

Immanuel Quickley Ruled Out On Monday

New York Knicks guard Immanuel Quickley (knee) has been downgraded from questionable to out on Monday night. The backup guard is experiencing inflammation in his right knee so the team will take a cautious approach. The good thing is that Jalen Brunson (ankle) has been upgraded to active, so they won't be without both point […]

Jalen Brunson Is Active Versus Raptors

New York Knicks guard Jalen Brunson (ankle) was originally listed as questionable but has been upgraded to active against the Toronto Raptors on Monday. The star guard staying on the floor will mean a much better Knicks offense compared to him watching from the sidelines. Fantasy managers can put him into their lineups with confidence […]

Kyle Lowry Available Against Hornets

Miami Heat guard Kyle Lowry (back) has been upgraded to available on Monday and will take the floor against the Charlotte Hornets. The veteran guard was dealing with back spasms, but it seems that they've subsided enough for him to play. He was able to put up 17 points, five assists, and two steals in […]

Jalen Suggs, Jonathan Isaac Both Upgraded To Available On Monday

Orlando Magic guard Jalen Suggs (ankle) and forward Jonathan Isaac (ankle) will return to the floor from ankle sprains on Monday against the Cleveland Cavaliers. Suggs returned very quickly from an ugly-looking ankle injury just two games ago. His two-way abilities should be welcomed back with open arms by the rest of the team and […]

Bradley Beal Targets Tuesday For Return

Phoenix Suns guard Bradley Beal (back) is targeting a return to action on Tuesday versus Golden State, according to Shams Charania of The Athletic. The veteran star has missed all but three games this season and made his last appearance on Nov. 12. Beal's back issues mean we have yet to see the newly-formed big […]
