Scoot Henderson Out On Sunday

Portland Trail Blazers guard Scoot Henderson (concussion) won't play on Sunday against the Knicks.

With Anfernee Simons (forearm) questionable, the Blazers could be even more thin in the backcourt. But regardless of Simons' availability, […]

Ty Jerome Out Again On Sunday

Cleveland Cavaliers guard Ty Jerome (knee) won't play on Sunday versus the Clippers, marking his third-consecutive absence. The Cavs are on track to finish as the top team in the Eastern Conference.

Marcus Smart Returning On Saturday Night

Washington Wizards guard Marcus Smart (illness) will suit up on Saturday versus the Wizards after missing the last two games. The 31-year-old has averaged only 10.1 points in 12 games since arriving in Washington ahead of the trade deadline.

D'Angelo Russell Won't Play Versus Washington

Brooklyn Nets guard D'Angelo Russell (ankle) won't play on Saturday against Washington. The veteran had only five points in 18 minutes in Friday's loss to the Clippers.

Payton Pritchard Iffy For Saturday's Action

Boston Celtics guard Payton Pritchard (hip) has been listed as questionable for Saturday's matchup against the San Antonio Spurs. A hip problem may keep Pritchard sidelined for only the second time this season.

Ja Morant Questionable For Saturday Night

Memphis Grizzlies guard Ja Morant (hamstring) is questionable for Saturday's game against the Lakers after missing the last six games due to a hamstring strain.

Malik Monk Good To Go Versus Portland

Sacramento Kings guard Malik Monk (illness) will return from a three-game absence on Thursday against the Trail Blazers.

Fortunately, Monk, who has averaged a career-high 18.1 points, 3.8 rebounds, 5.9 assists, and […]

Cade Cunningham Won't Play On Friday

Detroit Pistons guard Cade Cunningham (calf) won't play on Friday night versus Cleveland.

Devin Carter To Suit Up Against Trail Blazers

Sacramento Kings point guard Devin Carter (illness) will be active on Thursday against the Portland Trail Blazers. He was initially regarded as questionable for the game due to an illness.

Orlando Magic point guard Cole Anthony (toe) will miss a fifth consecutive game on Thursday against the Dallas Mavericks, having been downgraded from doubtful to out.

Marcus Smart Out Against Indiana

Washington Wizards guard Marcus Smart (illness) will be out of action against the Indiana Pacers on Thursday. Smart also sat out during Wednesday's contest due to a finger issue, but an illness will keep him off the floor for tonight's game. The 31-year-old veteran guard's absence won't impact fantasy much this evening as he is averaging 9.2 […]

Brandon Williams Available Against Magic

Dallas Mavericks point guard Brandon Williams (back) has shaken off a questionable tag and will play in Thursday's game against the Orlando Magic. He was initially iffy for the contest due to low back tightness. Williams has enjoyed a few productive weeks with the Mavericks and is coming off a 22-point effort against the New […]
