Tyrese Haliburton Cleared For Action Thursday

Indiana Pacers point guard Tyrese Haliburton (groin) will suit up against Detroit on Thursday. He has been upgraded from questionable to available, meaning Haliburton will sit out only one game due to a mild groin strain. Haliburton's presence reduces the fantasy value of Andrew Nembhard and T.J. McConnell. Ben Sheppard might also take a hit […]

Fred VanVleet Ruled Out Thursday Against Sacramento

Houston Rockets guard Fred VanVleet (personal) will not play on Thursday night against the Kings after being listed as out for personal reasons. FVV played 35 minutes on Wednesday in the first game of the team's back-to-back and had 16 points, eight assists, and three steals in Houston's 128-108 win over Denver. The Rockets have […]

Immanuel Quickley Listed As Out Friday Against Milwaukee

Toronto Raptors guard Immanuel Quickley (groin) will not play on Friday when the Raptors visit the Bucks. It will be Quickley's third straight game on the sidelines due to a groin strain.

Devin Carter Questionable Thursday Against Houston

Sacramento Kings guard Devin Carter (shoulder) is listed as questionable for the Kings' Thursday night home game against the Rockets. The rookie has been limited to just six games this season after he underwent left shoulder surgery in July. He has played 14.2 minutes per game in his six games while contributing 5.7 points, 4.2 […]

Malcolm Brogdon Not Ready To Return On Thursday

Washington Wizards guard Malcolm Brogdon (foot) has been ruled out for a sixth consecutive game ahead of Thursday's matchup against Phoenix. He has landed on the shelf with a plantar fascia contusion on his right foot. Jared Butler had an impressive spell during the first few games Brogdon missed but has logged just 15 minutes […]

Ty Jerome Iffy For Thursday

Cleveland Cavaliers guard Ty Jerome (illness) is questionable for Thursday's game against Oklahoma City. An illness has kept him sidelined for a pair of games, and Jerome might also be forced to miss a meeting with his former team. Caris LeVert and Max Strus have carried the bench with Jerome out. However, they have been […]

Malik Monk On Track To Return Thursday

Sacramento Kings guard/forward Malik Monk (groin) will likely return to the lineup on Thursday against Houston, as the team lists him as probable for the contest. Monk missed Tuesday's action against Milwaukee due to groin soreness. Keon Ellis took over his spot in the starting lineup and had a fine night with 18 points. He […]

Bradley Beal Unlikely To Play Against Wizards

Phoenix Suns guard Bradley Beal (ankle) will likely miss Thursday's return to his old stomping ground, as the team has labeled him doubtful ahead of the game against Washington. Beal injured his left ankle against Atlanta on Tuesday. Phoenix sent the former Wizards leader to the second unit earlier this month, but Beal has coped […]

Tyrese Haliburton Questionable Thursday

Indiana Pacers point guard Tyrese Haliburton (groin) is questionable to play in Thursday's matchup against Detroit. He's nursing a "mild" groin strain, which has already kept Haliburton out of one game. Ben Sheppard replaced Haliburton in the starting lineup against Cleveland on Tuesday, but he didn't do much in 32 minutes. T.J. McConnell also picked […]

D'Angelo Russell Ruled Out For Wednesday

Brooklyn Nets guard D'Angelo Russell (shin) has been ruled out ahead of Wednesday's game against the Los Angeles Clippers. Russell played 21 minutes off the bench during Tuesday's game after missing the previous four games. That being said, it appears the Nets are going to play it safe and rest Russell in the second leg […]

Jamal Murray Good To Go On Wednesday

Denver Nuggets guard Jamal Murray (knee) will play against the Rockets on Wednesday. The veteran is coming off a stellar performance, scoring 45 points in Tuesday's win over the Dallas Mavericks. With Nikola Jokic (elbow) and Aaron Gordon (calf) both sidelined, Murray has an excellent chance to keep it going on the offensive end versus […]

Gary Trent Jr. Misses Third Consecutive Game

Milwaukee Bucks guard/forward Gary Trent Jr. (hip) will be inactive against Orlando on Wednesday. This will mark his third consecutive absence. Trent Jr.'s next chance to return will come on Friday night against Toronto. AJ Green benefits from Trent Jr.'s absence and reached the 30-minute plateau for the fourth time this season in Tuesday's victory […]

Kyrie Irving Officially Out On Wednesday Night

Dallas Mavericks guard Kyrie Irving (back) won't play on Wednesday versus the Pelicans. The 32-year-old returned from a five-game stint on the shelf for Tuesday's loss to the Denver Nuggets. However, he had trouble getting his shots to fall, finishing with only 11 points while making four of his 18 attempts from the field. With […]

Ben Simmons Out For Back End Of Back-To-Back

Brooklyn Nets guard Ben Simmons (back) has been ruled out for Wednesday night's matchup against the Los Angeles Clippers. With this being the second leg of a back-to-back this is more of a rest spot for Simmons and the Nets as he had missed three games before returning for Brooklyn's prior three games. The 28-year-old […]

Lonzo Ball Inactive For Wednesday Night Matchup Against Hawks

Chicago Bulls guard Lonzo Ball (knee) has been ruled out for Wednesday night's game against the Atlanta Hawks. The inactive designation shouldn't be a surprise as Ball was slated to rest in tonight's second leg of a back-to-back for Chicago. Ball has been playing well in his last three games, hitting at least three three-pointers […]

Ayo Dosunmu Returns With A Minutes Limit

Chicago Bulls guard/forward Ayo Dosunmu (calf) will return to action on Wednesday against Atlanta, but he will have a minutes limit. Following his 10-game absence, Bulls head coach Billy Donovan plans to restrict Dosunmu to 24-26 minutes. The 24-year-old has averaged close to 31 minutes for the season. He has notched 12.6 points, 3.9 rebounds, […]

Jalen Brunson Available On Wednesday

New York Knicks guard Jalen Brunson (shoulder) will play on Wednesday against the 76ers. The 28-year-old injured his shoulder in Sunday's win over the Milwaukee Bucks. However, he still felt good enough to end the day with 44 points. As usual, Brunson is a must-start in any fantasy format. But with Karl-Anthony Towns (thumb) ruled […]

Kyle Lowry Ruled Out On Wednesday

Philadelphia 76ers guard Kyle Lowry (hip) won't play against the Knicks on Wednesday. Lowry will miss his sixth straight game as he is dealing with a hip issue. His next opportunity to return comes on Saturday against the Pacers. While Lowry is out, Reggie Jackson will continue to serve as the team's primary backup point guard, especially with the […]

Coby White Good To Go Wednesday

Chicago Bulls guard Coby White (neck) will suit up for Wednesday's tilt against Atlanta. White returned to the lineup on Tuesday against New Orleans, but he was listed as questionable on the initial injury report ahead of Wednesday's game. On Tuesday, the 24-year-old struggled from the field but did enough to finish with 22 points. […]

Keyonte George Available Wednesday

Utah Jazz guard Keyonte George (heel) will return from a five-game absence on Wednesday against Charlotte. George makes his comeback in a game where Utah will be missing three of its regular starters, so he should be in line for plenty of work. Charlotte allows 23.9 points per 48 minutes to opposing point guards. Isaiah […]

Tyrese Maxey Available On Wednesday Night

Philadelphia 76ers guard Tyrese Maxey (hand) will play on Wednesday versus the Knicks. The 24-year-old didn't play in Tuesday's loss to OKC, allowing Reggie Jackson to start. However, Jeff Dowtin Jr. stole the show after ending the night with 18 points, five boards, two steals, and one block. With that said, Downtin's fantasy outlook isn't […]

Tyrese Maxey In Danger Of Missing Another Game

Philadelphia 76ers guard Tyrese Maxey (hand) is questionable for Wednesday's meeting with the Knicks. Head coach Nick Nurse is "hopeful" the 24-year-old will play on Wednesday, and he'll work out ahead of the contest to determine if he can go. But Joel Embiid (foot) is already ruled out, and Paul George (ankle) is questionable, so […]

Trae Young Out Against The Bulls

Atlanta Hawks guard Trae Young (hip) won't play on Wednesday versus Chicago. The 26-year-old is fresh off a massive performance, amassing 43 points, five assists, and three steals in Tuesday's win over the Phoenix Suns. Unfortunately, Young won't suit up on Wednesday, only his third absence of the 2024-25 campaign. The Hawks are severely thin […]

Kyrie Irving Likely Out Versus Pelicans

Dallas Mavericks guard Kyrie Irving (back) is doubtful for Wednesday's matchup with the New Orleans Pelicans. Irving has been dealing with a back strain and returned on Tuesday against Denver after missing five straight games. However, the 32-year-old struggled, posting 11 points, four rebounds, four steals, two assists, and one block in 30 minutes. Unsurprisingly, the Mavericks […]

Collin Sexton Resting On Wednesday

Keyonte George Might Return To Action On Wednesday

Utah Jazz guard Keyonte George (heel) looks to be on the cusp of returning to the lineup, as he has picked up a questionable tag ahead of Wednesday's game against Charlotte. He has sat out five contests in a row, and George was previously ruled out immediately due to inflammation in his left heel. The […]

Jordan Clarkson Remains Out Wednesday

Utah Jazz guard Jordan Clarkson (foot) will not rejoin the lineup for Wednesday's clash against Charlotte. The veteran scorer was recently diagnosed with a torn left plantar fascia, and the injury will keep him sidelined for a sixth consecutive game. On Jan. 6, it was announced that Clarkson was scheduled to be re-evaluated in two […]

Bam Adebayo Could Miss Another Game On Wednesday

Miami Heat center Bam Adebayo (back) is questionable for Wednesday's game against the Lakers. The 27-year-old missed his first game of the season on Monday versus the Clippers. As a result, Kevin Love got the start. However, it was Kel'el Ware (probable) who took advantage, with the rookie finishing the night with 19 points, 13 […]

Ben Simmons To Play On Tuesday

Brooklyn Nets guard Ben Simmons (back) is available ahead of Tuesday's game against the Portland Trail Blazers. Simmons has been cleared to play after being plagued by some lingering issues this season. The 28-year-old has looked fairly decent over his last two games. Fellow guard D'Angelo Russell (shin) is also active, so we'll see how […]
