Brandin Podziemski On Track To Return Tuesday

Golden State Warriors guard Brandin Podziemski (back) is expected to return to the lineup on Tuesday against the Milwaukee Bucks. According to Anthony Slater of The Athletic, Warriors head coach Steve Kerr told reporters on Saturday that Tuesday's matchup is "the target" for Podziemski's return. He has been listed as out for Monday's contest against […]

Jamal Murray Iffy For Monday

Denver Nuggets point guard Jamal Murray (ankle) is considered questionable for Monday's game against the Golden State Warriors. Murray has been on the injury report for much of the season due to inflammation in his left knee, but he hurt his right ankle on Saturday against the Washington Wizards, and this new injury may prevent […]

Stephen Curry Questionable To Play On Monday

Golden State Warriors point guard Stephen Curry (back) has received a questionable tag on the injury report ahead of Monday's matchup with the Denver Nuggets. The two-time MVP is dealing with a back issue, which may keep Curry sidelined for the first time since Jan. 28. If Curry isn't cleared to play, Buddy Hield would […]

Coby White Tagged As Probable For Monday

Chicago Bulls guard Coby White (toe) is listed as probable ahead of Monday's game against the Utah Jazz. White continues to play through a left toe issue, so fantasy managers should expect that to remain the case on Monday. White has been asked to pick up the slack lately with the team shorthanded at the […]

Josh Giddey Doubtful For Monday

Chicago Bulls guard Josh Giddey (ankle) is listed as doubtful ahead of Monday's game against the Utah Jazz. It looks like Giddey is going to miss his third game in a row due to a right ankle sprain. This is a shame considering Giddey was on a hot streak before the injury. The absence of […]

Scotty Pippen Jr. Listed As Questionable For Monday

Memphis Grizzlies guard Scotty Pippen Jr. (wrist) is listed as questionable ahead of Monday's game against the Sacramento Kings. It appears Pippen suffered a left wrist injury during Saturday's contest. Despite that, Pippen finished with 11 points, six rebounds, and 11 assists across 29 minutes of action. Fellow guard Ja Morant (hamstring) has already been […]

Ja Morant Won't Play Monday

Memphis Grizzlies guard Ja Morant (hamstring) has been ruled out ahead of Monday's game against the Sacramento Kings. Morant sat out on Saturday due to a shoulder issue, so it appears he is over that problem. Now, Morant will miss Monday's contest due to left hamstring tightness. When healthy, Morant is a stud as seen […]

Tyrese Haliburton On The Injury Report For Monday Night

Indiana Pacers guard Tyrese Haliburton (back) is questionable for Monday's meeting with the Minnesota Timberwolves. He recently missed time because of a hip injury. However, Haliburton was back on the floor for Indiana's last three contests, recently amassing 24 points, 15 assists, six boards, and five steals in Saturday's loss to the Milwaukee Bucks. But […]

Damian Lillard Good To Go Sunday

Milwaukee Bucks point guard Damian Lillard (groin) will play against the Oklahoma City Thunder on Sunday. Despite dealing with groin soreness, Lillard has been upgraded from probable to available. The star guard will hit the floor for a second consecutive night. He finished Saturday's 126-119 win over the Indiana Pacers with 25 points, 10 rebounds, […]

Mike Conley Resting Against Jazz

Minnesota Timberwolves point guard Mike Conley (rest) will exit the lineup for Sunday's tilt against the Utah Jazz. He will skip the meeting with his former team for rest purposes. Minnesota also has a game scheduled for Monday, and Conley is likely to return to action against the Indiana Pacers. Donte DiVincenzo will take over […]

Keyonte George On The Shelf For Fourth Straight Game

Utah Jazz guard Keyonte George (foot, illness) will miss a fourth consecutive game on Sunday against the Minnesota Timberwolves. The talented youngster is recovering from a left foot contusion and an illness and will have his next chance to return on Monday against the Chicago Bulls. Utah's backcourt will also be without Jordan Clarkson (foot, […]

Cole Anthony Doesn't Return On Sunday

Orlando Magic guard Cole Anthony (toe) returned from a two-game absence for Sunday's win over the Cavaliers. He came off the bench in this one. Unfortunately, he logged only six minutes before reaggravating his nagging left great toe strain. Anthony has been filling much of the void caused by the absence of Jalen Suggs (knee). […]

Jordan Clarkson Exits Jazz Lineup Sunday

Utah Jazz guard Jordan Clarkson (foot, illness) will not hit the court on Sunday against the Minnesota Timberwolves. The veteran has been nursing a foot problem throughout the campaign and is currently also dealing with an illness. Isaiah Collier figures to take on a heavy workload again on the backcourt, with Johnny Juzang also in […]

Kris Dunn Out On Sunday

Los Angeles Clippers guard Kris Dunn (knee) will not play in Sunday's contest against the Charlotte Hornets. He has been ruled out due to soreness in his left knee. Dunn's absence will open up a spot in the starting lineup, which could go to either Bogdan Bogdanovic or Norman Powell (hamstring), who has been cleared […]

Cole Anthony Back On Sunday

Orlando Magic guard Cole Anthony (toe) will play on Sunday versus the Cavs after missing the last two games because of a left great toe strain. Jalen Suggs (knee) has been on the shelf, so Anthony has handled things at the point guard position. The 24-year-old has played well for the most part, averaging 13.7 […]

Fantasy Basketball Waiver Wire Pickups and Streamers for Week 20 (2024-25): March 17 - March 23

The fantasy basketball playoffs are in full swing for many leagues and even the late-starters are set to begin this week. Frustration with players resting and schedules being tough to predict is mounting and I was a victim of it myself just this week with Utah and the Walker Kessler drama. My best advice is […]

RJ Barrett Listed As Questionable For Sunday

Toronto Raptors guard RJ Barrett (illness) is listed as questionable ahead of Sunday's game against the Portland Trail Blazers. Barrett appears to be dealing with a minor illness, so the team is going to wait and see how he feels on Sunday before making a final decision. Barrett looked a bit sluggish on Friday when […]

Marcus Smart Downgraded To Out

Washington Wizards guard Marcus Smart (illness) has been downgraded to out ahead of Sunday's game against the Denver Nuggets. Smart wasn't originally on the injury report, but it appears he came down with an illness ahead of tip-off. The Wizards will take the cautious approach and hold out Smart for at least one game. The […]

Anfernee Simons Tagged As Questionable For Sunday

Portland Trail Blazers guard Anfernee Simons (hand) is listed as questionable ahead of Sunday's game against the Toronto Raptors. It appears Simons is dealing with a minor hand injury, but it hasn't kept him out of action. In fact, Simons hasn't missed a game since mid-January, so he has been relatively healthy this season. Simons […]

Jamal Murray Will Play On Saturday Night

Denver Nuggets guard Jamal Murray (knee) is cleared to play on Saturday against Washington. He popped up on the injury report late in the day because of left knee inflammation. As such, most expected the veteran would sit this one out after going for 26 points in 39 minutes in Friday's win over the Los […]

Josh Giddey Officially Out On Saturday Night

Chicago Bulls guard Josh Giddey (ankle) remains out on Saturday against the Rockets. He's expected to be back at some point during the Bulls' road trip. However, his return won't be on Saturday night. Fortunately, Coby White (toe) is good to go, so he'll pick up a large portion of the slack offensively, Tre Jones, […]

Ja Morant Ruled Out On Saturday Night

Memphis Grizzlies guard Ja Morant (shoulder) won't play on Saturday against Miami. He's listed on the injury report because of shoulder soreness. However, with the Heat struggling, it's an ideal time for Morant to get the night off, especially after going for 44 points in 35 minutes on Friday versus the Cavaliers. Without him, Luke […]

Damian Lillard Available Versus Indiana

Milwaukee Bucks guard Damian Lillard (groin) is available for Saturday's matchup versus Indiana. He's back on the injury report because of a groin injury. Yet, that's nothing new. He was also probable, so most fantasy managers expected to see him on the floor on Saturday evening. Unfortunately, Lillard has struggled offensively in three meetings with […]

Jamal Murray Added To Saturday's Injury Report

Denver Nuggets guard Jamal Murray (knee) is now questionable for Saturday's meeting with the Wizards. The veteran played 39 minutes in Friday's narrow win over the Los Angeles Lakers, amassing 26 points and shooting 5-for-9 from behind the three-point line. But because the Nuggets will play the Wizards, arguably the worst team in the National […]

Cole Anthony Back On The Injury Report

Orlando Magic guard Cole Anthony (toe) is questionable for Sunday's meeting with the Cavaliers. He's missed the last two games because of a sprained toe. As a result, Cory Joseph has filled in at the one spot, although he had just eight points in Friday's loss to the Minnesota Timberwolves. If Anthony remains out, Joseph […]

Ja Morant Questionable On Saturday Night

Memphis Grizzlies guard Ja Morant (shoulder) is questionable for Saturday's matchup with the visiting Heat. He logged 35 minutes in Friday's 133-124 loss to the Cavs, exploding for 44 points, eight rebounds, and seven assists. However, the Grizzlies need to keep Morant healthy for the postseason, meaning there's a good chance he'll sit out on […]

Dante Exum Diagnosed With A Fractured Left Hand

Dallas Mavericks guard Dante Exum (wrist) suffered a fractured left wrist during Friday's loss to the Houston Rockets. He will be sidelined for at least a month, with the team providing updates when available. The 29-year-old missed three months to begin the 2024-25 campaign because of a wrist injury before returning at the end of […]

Kevin Porter Jr. Expected To Be Available Saturday

Milwaukee Bucks point guard Kevin Porter Jr. (ankle) is on the injury report for Saturday's contest against the Indiana Pacers, but he is expected to play, as the team has given him a probable designation. The 24-year-old is battling a left ankle sprain. Porter Jr. was outstanding at both ends in Thursday's win over the […]

Damian Lillard Listed As Probable For Saturday's Game

Milwaukee Bucks point guard Damian Lillard (groin) once again holds a probable tag on the injury report entering Saturday's matchup against the Indiana Pacers. He has been a regular on the report due to groin soreness, but Lillard has made 10 consecutive appearances. During this stretch, Lillard has averaged 23.9 points, 4.3 rebounds, and 5.9 […]
