Darius Garland Doesn't Return Against The Lakers

Cleveland Cavaliers guard Darius Garland (neck) finished Saturday's matchup against the Lakers with six points, three assists, and one steal. Unfortunately, he didn't last long in this one, logging just 14 minutes before exiting with a neck strain. The injury isn't anything new, considering Garland has already missed time this season because of it. However, […]

Isaac Okoro Listed As Questionable Saturday

Cleveland Cavaliers guard/forward Isaac Okoro (knee) is listed as questionable for Saturday's encounter with the Lakers. He's been a long-term absentee for the Cavaliers, having played his last game on Nov. 3 in an in-season tournament clash against Indiana. It's been a nine-game absence for Okoro, but he returned to practice on Friday and could […]

Cam Reddish Questionable For Saturday

Los Angeles Lakers guard/forward Cam Reddish (groin) might be forced to sit out a second consecutive game on Saturday against Cleveland. Reddish hurt his left adductor against Utah on Tuesday and couldn't take the court a day later versus Dallas. He hasn't yet been completely ruled out for Saturday, which is a good sign, but […]

Jalen Williams Remains Sidelined On Saturday

Oklahoma City Thunder guard/forward Jalen Williams (hip) will miss a third game in a row Saturday versus the 76ers. Williams is off to a fantastic start to the season, but a hip issue has sidelined him, and it's unclear when he will be able to return. The 22-year-old is second on the team in scoring […]

Lindy Waters III Questionable On Saturday

Oklahoma City Thunder guard/forward Lindy Waters III (back) is regarded as questionable for Saturday's meeting with Philadelphia. The 26-year-old is suffering from lower back spasms, which forced him to leave Wednesday's game against Chicago early. Waters III has started his third NBA season in 2023-24, logging 7.0 minutes per game across seven outings. He only […]

Week 5: Dynasty Risers And Fallers For Fantasy Basketball

Welcome back, Rotoballers and dynasty managers! Hopefully, everyone had a great Thanksgiving and enjoyed some great Black Friday basketball. The in-season tournament is getting close to the knockout stages and we've already gotten some high-level hoops in the process. For all of you who decided to jump into a dynasty league, these in-season tournaments could […]

Dru Smith Done For The Year

Miami Heat guard Dru Smith (knee) will miss the remainder of the 2023-24 campaign. An MRI confirmed a third-degree ACL sprain for the 25-year-old, which was enough to keep him on the shelf. Smith had played sparingly throughout the season, averaging 4.3 points and 1.0 steals in nine games, so his absence isn't expected to […]

Dennis Smith Jr. Remains Out On Saturday

Brooklyn Nets guard Dennis Smith Jr. (back) will remain out for Saturday's meeting with the Miami Heat. He's day-to-day, so it appears he's nearing a return. But in the meantime, the 2017 No. 9 overall pick will miss a third consecutive contest. With Brooklyn still without Ben Simmons (back) and Cam Thomas (ankle) as well, […]

Donovan Mitchell May Miss Another Game On Saturday

Cleveland Cavaliers guard Donovan Mitchell (hamstring) is questionable ahead of Saturday's meeting with the Lakers. He's missed the previous four games because of a hamstring strain, so the team isn't taking any chances with the superstar. That said, Darius Garland, averaging 25 points, five assists, and three rebounds without Mitchell this season, would remain a […]

Donovan Mitchell May Return On Saturday Versus Lakers

Cleveland Cavaliers guard Donovan Mitchell (hamstring) is officially considered questionable for the team's Saturday night game against the Los Angeles Lakers. The superstar combo guard hasn't played since November 15 as he's been dealing with a right hamstring strain. If he's able to play, that would deliver a hit to the fantasy value of Craig […]

Tyrese Haliburton Receives Questionable Status On Friday

Indiana Pacers guard Tyrese Haliburton (wrist) has popped up on the injury report as questionable for the team's game on Friday against the Detroit Pistons. They're currently listing six different players as questionable for this game, three of them are two-way players. If Haliburton can't suit up, and Andrew Nembhard (back) also gets downgraded, then […]

Duncan Robinson Downgraded To Out Against Knicks

Miami Heat forward Duncan Robinson (thumb) was downgraded from questionable to out on Friday against the New York Knicks. The sixth-year sharpshooter will miss his first game of the season, which means either Jaime Jaquez Jr. or Josh Richardson will move into the starting lineup. The other will still see some added opportunities from the […]

Coby White Considered Questionable On Friday

Chicago Bulls guard Coby White (ankle) has been tagged as questionable on Friday due to left ankle soreness. The 23-year-old has come back to fantasy relevance this year after becoming the starting point guard again and averaging his highest minutes per contest of his career. White currently averages 12.8 points, 4.1 assists, 2.8 rebounds, and […]

Jrue Holiday Sidelined On Friday

Boston Celtics guard Jrue Holiday (ankle) won't play in Friday's matinee against Orlando. Holiday had been listed as probable as of Thursday night because of a sprained right ankle. However, he apparently suffered a setback, going from doubtful to out since then. The 33-year-old hasn't played the best in his first season with the Celtics, […]

Norman Powell Considered Questionable Against Pelicans

Los Angeles Clippers guard Norman Powell (groin) has been listed as questionable on the official injury report due to right groin soreness on Friday. The veteran guard hasn't had to miss a game yet this season, but it seems that streak could be in jeopardy since groin strains often take some time to fully heal. […]

Gary Payton II Probable To Return On Friday

Golden State Warriors guard Gary Payton II (foot) has missed the last three games with a left foot strain but is now listed as probable to return on Friday against the San Antonio Spurs. Payton's return will probably mean that Moses Moody and Cory Joseph take a hit to their fantasy relevance, while Brandin Podziemski […]

Andrew Nembhard Uncertain Against Pistons

Indiana Pacers guard Andrew Nembhard (back) continues to deal with back spasms, which have caused him to miss the last three consecutive games. Back problems are one of the hardest injuries to predict in terms of a return timetable. The good thing is that he hasn't been ruled out ahead of time and he remains […]

Aaron Nesmith Considered Questionable On Friday

Indiana Pacers forward Aaron Nesmith (wrist) has officially been tagged as questionable for the team's game against the Detroit Pistons on Friday. Nesmith has played an important depth role for the team and has posted career-high efficiency numbers so far. If he misses his second consecutive matchup, then Buddy Hield and Bennedict Mathurin should both […]

Zach Lavine Listed As Questionable For Friday

Chicago Bulls guard Zach LaVine (foot) is listed as questionable ahead of Friday's game against the Toronto Raptors. LaVine was a late scratch from Wednesday's game, which was odd considering head coach Billy Donovan said LaVine was going to play. Regardless, LaVine sat out which led to Patrick Williams getting the starting nod. He finished […]

Desmond Bane Tagged As Questionable For Friday

Memphis Grizzlies guard Desmond Bane (foot) is listed as questionable ahead of Friday's game against the Phoenix Suns. It sounds like Bane suffered a left foot sprain during Wednesday's game, but appears to have avoided serious injury. The Grizzlies are already banged up, so losing Bane would be significant hit to the rotation. They'd likely […]

Shai Gilgeous-Alexander Drops 40 Points On Bulls

Oklahoma City Thunder guard Shai Gilgeous-Alexander ran the show against Chicago Wednesday night, registering a game-high 40 points with 12 assists in a 116-102 win. He finished 11-for-19 from the floor and missed only one of his 18 attempts at the free-throw line. Across 37 minutes of action, the Thunder leader also collected five rebounds, […]

Anthony Edwards Scores Game-High 31 Points Versus Philadelphia

Minnesota Timberwolves guard/forward Anthony Edwards produced a game-high 31 points against a Joel Embiid-less Philadelphia on Wednesday. He hit half of the team's 10 three-pointers and shot 11-for-22 overall as the Timberwolves dominated from start to finish, winning 112-99. Edwards added six rebounds, six assists, and two steals for a full fantasy line. The young […]

Mikal Bridges Goes Off For 45 Points

Brooklyn Nets guard/forward Mikal Bridges was on fire in Wednesday's matchup against the Hawks, putting up a career-high tying 45 points in a 147-145 overtime loss. He did the damage with 16-for-31 shooting from the field and an 11-for-12 record at the stripe. A 10-rebound outing also meant a second double-double of the season for […]

Jacob Gilyard Moves Into Starting Five

Memphis Grizzlies guard Jacob Gilyard will get the starting nod during Wednesday's game against the Houston Rockets. The young guard will move back into the starting unit after coming off the bench during their last game. As a result, John Konchar will come off the bench on Wednesday, which will mean decreased fantasy value for […]

Devin Vassell Officially Available On Wednesday

San Antonio Spurs guard Devin Vassell (groin) is available for Wednesday's game against the Los Angeles Clippers. Vassell said earlier in the day that he would play and he was right as he has been cleared to play. It's worth noting that Vassell is going to come off the bench during his first game back. […]

Chris Duarte Will Play On Wednesday

Sacramento Kings guard Chris Duarte (thumb) will suit up for Wednesday's game against the New Orleans Pelicans. Duarte was questionable coming into this game due to a thumb issue, but it appears he's ready to go. He'll slide into the starting five with Keegan Murray (back) ruled out for this game. Duarte should see increased […]

Nickeil Alexander-Walker Moves Into Starting Five

Minnesota Timberwolves guard Nickeil Alexander-Walker will slide into the starting five for Wednesday's game against the Philadelphia 76ers. As expected, Alexander-Walker will move into the starting unit with Jaden McDaniels (ankle) sidelined. This is likely going to be the plan going forward until McDaniels is ready to return to the court. That being said, Alexander-Walker […]

Zach LaVine Probable For Wednesday's Matchup

Chicago Bulls guard/forward Zach LaVine (foot) is listed as probable for Wednesday's matchup against Oklahoma City. The two-time All-Star has landed on the injury report with right foot soreness. LaVine will be desperate to remain in the lineup after posting a pair of 13-point duds. His campaign is off to a poor start in general, […]
