Gary Payton II Doubtful For Thursday

Portland Trail Blazers guard Gary Payton II (calf) is listed as doubtful for Thursday's game against the Philadelphia 76ers. He has been battling left calf soreness, so it seems likely he'll miss Thursday's game due to the injury. His absence would mean more playing time for Shaedon Sharpe and Nassir Little. Neither player should be […]

Derrick White Moves Back To The Bench

Boston Celtics guard Derrick White will move back to the second unit for Thursday's game against the Golden State Warriors. Fellow guard Jaylen Brown (groin) has been cleared to return for this game. He'll immediately rejoin the starting five which means White heads to the bench. White has been providing 10th-round value in 9-cat formats […]

Kyrie Irving Available On Thursday

Brooklyn Nets guard Kyrie Irving (calf) is available for Thursday's game against the Phoenix Suns. The superstar guard will get back in the lineup after missing Tuesday's game due to right calf soreness. There is no word on Irving being limited, so fantasy managers should expect him to have a full workload. This month, Irving […]

Chris Paul Listed As Out For Thursday

Phoenix Suns guard Chris Paul (hip) has been downgraded to out for Thursday's game against the Brooklyn Nets. The veteran guard will be forced to miss his sixth game in a row on Thursday. Luckily, Paul was able to return to practice on Wednesday, so hopefully he'll be able to play soon. Duane Washington Jr. […]

Jamal Murray, Bones Hyland Available On Wednesday

There was some concern that these two would sit out because it's the second leg of a back-to-back set. However, it appears both are good to go and should play their regular roles. Murray will take […]

Austin Rivers Downgraded To Out

Minnesota Timberwolves guard Austin Rivers (knee) has been downgraded to out for Wednesday's game against the Denver Nuggets. The veteran guard was listed as questionable coming into this game due to a left knee contusion. His absence should mean more playing time for Jaylen Nowell.

Jamal Murray And Bones Hyland Probable Wednesday

Denver Nuggets guards Jamal Murray (ankle/foot) and Bones Hyland (ankle) are listed as probable to play against the Minnesota Timberwolves Wednesday. The Nuggets are going into the second night of a back-to-back set but it appears there is not a huge chance of Murray and Hyland being rested. The Nuggets should confirm their availability closer […]

Kevin Porter Jr. Out Again Wednesday

Houston Rockets guard Kevin Porter Jr. (foot) will not play Wednesday against the Charlotte Hornets. Porter is still experiencing pain in his left foot and will miss his fourth straight game.

Kevin Porter Jr. In Danger Of Missing Another Game

Houston Rockets point guard Kevin Porter Jr. (foot) is once again regarded as questionable ahead of Wednesday's contest against Charlotte. He has already missed three games with a left foot contusion. Porter Jr.'s absence has pushed Kenyon Martin Jr. to the starting five and Alperen Sengun has started to play a much bigger role on […]

Kyle Lowry Back For Miami Wednesday

Miami Heat point guard Kyle Lowry (knee) will return from a four-game absence Wednesday versus New Orleans. The veteran floor general has been troubled by a left knee issue but is ready to return against the Pelicans. Lowry's best days are clearly behind him, but he has still put in solid work this season with […]

Donovan Mitchell Ruled Out Wednesday

Cleveland Cavaliers guard Donovan Mitchell (groin) won't play Wednesday against Memphis. Mitchell's availability for the contest was already a major doubt after he left Sunday's game against New Orleans with a groin injury and his absence has now been made official.

Jamal Murray Starting Tuesday

Denver Nuggets point guard Jamal Murray (ankle/foot) will play and start Tuesday against the Portland Trail Blazers. Murray was originally slated to play before being downgraded to questionable, but ultimately will play against Portland as he deals with ankle and foot inflammation. Murray should slide in to his normal starting role, but if he were […]

Bones Hyland Available On Tuesday

Denver Nuggets guard Bones Hyland (ankle) is available to play Tuesday against the Portland Trail Blazers. Hyland was questionable to play with ankle soreness after leaving Sunday's game with the injury, but he will not miss any additional time. Jamal Murray (ankle/foot) may sit which would put Hyland in position for increased value.

Seth Curry Starting Tuesday, Kyrie Irving Hopeful For Thursday

Brooklyn Nets guard Seth Curry will start in place of the injured Kyrie Irving (calf) on Tuesday against the San Antonio Spurs. Curry is coming off a 23-point effort and should be a good plug-and-play option for fantasy and DFS. Irving's absence is not expected to be long-term and the team is hopeful he can […]

Kyle Lowry Upgraded To Questionable Wednesday

Miami Heat point guard Kyle Lowry (knee) has been upgraded to questionable to play Wednesday against the New Orleans Pelicans.

Luka Doncic Likely To Play Wednesday

Dallas Mavericks guard Luka Doncic (ankle) is listed as probable to play Wednesday against the Atlanta Hawks. Doncic missed last game with ankle soreness, but appears to have recovered enough to go on Wednesday. If Doncic is indeed ready to return, Frank Ntilikina will likely move back to the bench and lose all short-term fantasy […]

Kyrie Irving Ruled Out Tuesday

Brooklyn Nets guard Kyrie Irving (calf) will not play Tuesday against the San Antonio Spurs. Irving was a late addition to the injury report on Tuesday with calf soreness and the injury will cost him at least one game. With Irving unable to go, the Nets will likely have their pick of Seth Curry, Ben […]

Jamal Murray Downgraded To Questionable

Denver Nuggets guard Jamal Murray (ankle) has now been downgraded to questionable to play Tuesday against the Portland Trail Blazers. Murray was originally listed as probable as he's played through an ankle sprain in each of the last two games, but the injury report states there is now some inflammation Murray is dealing with. The […]

Kyrie Irving Questionable Against Spurs

Brooklyn Nets guard Kyrie Irving (calf) is questionable to play Tuesday against the San Antonio Spurs. Irving is listed with calf soreness, something that wasn't reported until later on Tuesday.
