Trae Young Likely To Play Wednesday

Atlanta Hawks point guard Trae Young (Achilles) is listed as probable for Wednesday's game against the San Antonio Spurs. The Hawks star has been dealing with right Achilles tendinitis throughout the season, but this hasn't stopped him from posting back-to-back games with 34 points. He has had three games with 20-plus points and 20-plus assists, […]

Damian Lillard May Miss Another Game On Wednesday

Milwaukee Bucks guard Damian Lillard (groin) is questionable for Wednesday's game in Charlotte. The former Trail Blazer wasn't available for Monday's loss to OKC because of left groin soreness. But the Bucks were extremely shorthanded, with Giannis Antetokounmpo (knee), Khris Middleton (ankles), Bobby Portis (personal) and Brook Lopez (back) also sidelined for that one. Luckily, […]

De'Aaron Fox To Make Team Debut On Wednesday

San Antonio Spurs guard De'Aaron Fox is set to make his team debut against the Atlanta Hawks on Wednesday. Fox was acquired by the Spurs in part of a three-team trade on Monday. The addition of Fox almost certainly means that Chris Paul will move to the bench. It seems likely that the Spurs would […]

Collin Sexton To Miss At Least One Week

Utah Jazz guard Collin Sexton (ankle) has been ruled out ahead of Wednesday's game and won't be on the court for at least a week. Sexton suffered a left ankle sprain during Monday's contest. The team has decided to let him rest and re-evaluate Sexton in a week. The Jazz aren't exactly playing for anything […]

Ben Simmons Resting On Tuesday Night

Brooklyn Nets guard Ben Simmons (lower back, injury management) won't play on Tuesday against the Rockets. The Nets are playing back-to-back games on Tuesday and Wednesday, so Simmons will take the night off before likely returning against Washington. Without him, D'Angelo Russell should be in line for more minutes, with Keon Johnson also getting more […]

Aaron Holiday Joins Starting Unit Tuesday

Houston Rockets guard Aaron Holiday will join the starting lineup on Tuesday against the Brooklyn Nets. He will make his first start of the campaign following an impressive bench showing in Monday's loss to the New York Knicks.

Ben Simmons Sits Out Tuesday's Action

Brooklyn Nets guard/center Ben Simmons (back) will not be in the lineup on Tuesday against the Houston Rockets.

Kyrie Irving Available Versus The 76ers

Dallas Mavericks guard Kyrie Irving (shoulder) is off the injury report ahead of Tuesday's clash with the 76ers. The 32-year-old appeared in eight games leading up to Sunday's loss to the Cavs. However, he wasn't available for that one due to shoulder soreness. The Mavericks' front office made a bold move recently, with the team […]

Jalen Suggs Ruled Out Monday

Orlando Magic guard Jalen Suggs (quadriceps) will remain on the shelf for Monday's meeting with the Golden State Warriors. The team downgraded Suggs from questionable to doubtful earlier in the day and has now ruled him out for a fourth consecutive game.

Ja Morant Returns For Grizzlies Monday

Memphis Grizzlies point guard Ja Morant (shoulder) is set to play against the San Antonio Spurs on Monday after being upgraded from questionable to available. He will return after missing two games with shoulder soreness. Desmond Bane (ankle) will not be involved on Monday, so Morant should carry a huge load offensively for the Grizzlies. […]

Marcus Smart Remains Sidelined On Monday

Memphis Grizzlies guard Marcus Smart (finger) will be sidelined for Monday's game against the San Antonio Spurs. Smart was already considered doubtful earlier in the day due to a right index finger injury.

Jordan Poole Will Play Against Hornets

Washington Wizards guard Jordan Poole (illness) will play against the Charlotte Hornets on Monday. An illness gave Poole a late questionable tag, but he has been cleared to play and will start the contest alongside Bilal Coulibaly, Kyshawn George, Kyle Kuzma, and Jonas Valanciunas. Poole has saved some of his best performances of the season […]

Vasilije Micic Cleared To Play Monday

Charlotte Hornets point guard Vasilije Micic (ankle) is active against the Washington Wizards on Monday. Micic has shaken off a left ankle sprain to give the Hornets' backcourt a welcome boost. The last game against the Denver Nuggets was rough for Micic; in addition to getting hurt, he finished scoreless in 15 minutes with 0-for-5 […]

Trae Young Upgraded To Available Monday

Atlanta Hawks point guard Trae Young (Achilles) is good to go for Monday's showdown against Cade Cunningham and the Detroit Pistons. Following another monster performance with 34 points and 17 assists on Saturday against the Indiana Pacers, Young was initially listed as probable for Monday's affair. He has now been upgraded to available. Young has […]

Cason Wallace Out Against Milwaukee

Oklahoma City Thunder point guard Cason Wallace (shoulder) has been ruled out for Monday's contest against the Milwaukee Bucks.

Damian Lillard Downgraded To Out Monday

Milwaukee Bucks guard Damian Lillard (groin) has been downgraded from questionable to out on Monday and will end up watching from the sidelines against the Oklahoma City Thunder.

Damian Lillard Tagged As Questionable On Monday

Milwaukee Bucks guard Damian Lillard (groin) has received a questionable tag for Monday's matchup against the Oklahoma City Thunder. The star point guard appeared on the injury report ahead of their last game as well with groin soreness and ended up playing against the Memphis Grizzlies. If he's unable to suit up in this one, […]

Jalen Suggs Considered Doubtful Against Warriors

Orlando Magic guard Jalen Suggs (quad) has been downgraded from questionable to doubtful on Monday, so his chances of playing against the Golden State Warriors are looking slim. He returned from a lengthy back injury on January 25, but has since been out with a quad contusion. Anthony Black and Cole Anthony have served as […]

Alex Caruso Ruled Out With Ankle Injury

Oklahoma City Thunder guard Alex Caruso (ankle) is dealing with an ankle sprain and has been downgraded from questionable to out on Monday. While he sits out this matchup with the Milwaukee Bucks, Aaron Wiggins, Isaiah Joe, and Ousmane Dieng will receive a lot of opportunities. Wiggins started in their last game and scored 41 […]

Russell Westbrook To Remain Out On Monday

Denver Nuggets point guard Russell Westbrook (hamstring) will not take the court on Monday against the New Orleans Pelicans. After suffering a hamstring strain, Westbrook has to sit out a second straight game. His absence has allowed Christian Braun to re-enter the starting lineup, and he excelled in Saturday's win over the Charlotte Hornets, notching […]

Gary Trent Jr. Available Sunday

Milwaukee Bucks guard/forward Gary Trent Jr. (hip) is good to go for Sunday's action against the Memphis Grizzlies. He hurt his left hip flexor in Friday's loss to the San Antonio Spurs, but Trent Jr. has been cleared to play after the team initially regarded him as probable for the contest. Trent Jr. boosted his […]

Damian Lillard Active Versus Grizzlies

Milwaukee Bucks point guard Damian Lillard (groin) will make an 18th consecutive appearance on Sunday against the Memphis Grizzlies. He is officially available for the game after initially having a probable designation on the injury report. Lillard was limited to a season-low four points in this season's first clash against Memphis, so he might have […]

Ja Morant Will Not Play On Sunday

Memphis Grizzlies point guard Ja Morant (shoulder) has been ruled out for Sunday's clash against the Milwaukee Bucks. He will be sidelined for a third time in five games after initially carrying a doubtful tag. Scotty Pippen Jr. has mostly filled in for Morant during his absences this season, but the Grizzlies went with Luke […]

Fred VanVleet Won't Play Against The Knicks

Houston Rockets guard Fred VanVleet (ankle) won't play on Monday against the Knicks. He sprained his ankle in Saturday's loss to the Brooklyn Nets and didn't return, so most assumed he wouldn't be on the floor versus New York. But fantasy managers are left wondering how long he'll be sidelined. Until VanVleet is back on […]

Trae Young Probable Against Detroit

Atlanta Hawks guard Trae Young (Achilles) is probable for Monday's meeting with the Pistons. The former Oklahoma Sooner recently missed a game because of hamstring tightness. But it appears that injury is behind him, although the Achilles tendinitis has been a constant issue all year. Young is coming off a stellar showing in Saturday's loss […]

Payton Pritchard Out Sick Versus Philadelphia

Boston Celtics guard Payton Pritchard (illness) won't play on Sunday against Philadelphia. The 27-year-old has had an excellent 2024-25 campaign, averaging 13.8 points, 3.6 rebounds, and 3.4 assists, all career-highs. But he'll miss his first game of the year because of an illness. Without him, Sam Hauser should see more opportunities from off the bench.
