Bradley Beal Won't Return On Sunday

Phoenix Suns guard Bradley Beal (back) remains out ahead of Sunday's meeting with Detroit.

It's been a rough start to the 2023-24 campaign for Phoenix, a team that could be without […]

Terry Rozier Questionable Against Dallas

Charlotte Hornets guard Terry Rozier (groin) is questionable for Sunday's game against the Mavericks. The 29-year-old has had a quality 2023-24 campaign, averaging a career-high 22 points. However, he suffered a groin injury in Saturday's showdown with the Pacers and is now in danger of missing his first game of the year. Nonetheless, if Rozier […]

Devin Booker Now Dealing With A Calf Issue

Phoenix Suns guard Devin Booker (ankle, calf) won't play in Sunday's matchup with the Detroit Pistons. The 27-year-old played in the opener against the Golden State Warriors.

Chicago Bulls forward Patrick Williams (finger) and guard Alex Caruso (shoulder) are both available for Saturday's game against the Denver Nuggets.

James Harden Could Face Minutes' Restriction

Los Angeles Clippers guard James Harden is close to debuting with his new team. However, according to head coach Ty Lue, the multi-time MVP's minutes could be monitored, at least until the medical staff is confident he can handle more.

Kobe Bufkin Fractures His Thumb

Dallas Mavericks guard Luka Doncic continued his immense start to the 2023-24 campaign with 34 points, 10 rebounds, and eight assists on Friday against Denver, but he also had nine turnovers in a 125-114 loss.

Gary Harris Unavailable Versus Lakers

Orlando Magic guard/forward Gary Harris (groin) will miss his first game of the season Saturday against the Lakers.

Brandon Ingram May Miss Another Game On Saturday

New Orleans Pelicans forward Brandon Ingram (knee) is questionable for Saturday's clash with the Atlanta Hawks. The oft-injured 26-year-old last played nearly a week ago, logging 32 minutes versus the Knicks and amassing 26 points and seven rebounds. At this point, fantasy managers are used to lengthy absences from Ingram, who hasn't played more than […]

Corey Kispert Avoids Serious Injury

Washington Wizards guard Corey Kispert (ankle) wasn't active for Friday's matchup with the Miami Heat. He sprained his left ankle during the loss to the Atlanta Hawks on Wednesday night.

Phoenix Suns guard Bradley Beal (back) won't play on Saturday versus the Philadelphia 76ers. The Suns have played five games so far in 2023-24.

Spencer Dinwiddie Active Versus Chicago

Brooklyn Nets guard Spencer Dinwiddie (ankle) will suit up for Friday's game in Chicago. The 30-year-old injured his left ankle in Monday's meeting with the Charlotte Hornets and was ruled out for Wednesday's clash with the Miami Heat. Dinwiddie is usually a must-start fantasy option. However, he's struggled this season, averaging only 11.0 points and […]

Tyrese Haliburton Returning On Friday

Indiana Pacers guard Tyrese Haliburton (ankle) will play on Friday night against Cleveland. The 23-year-old missed Indiana's previous game in Boston because of a sprained ankle, so fantasy managers are thrilled with the latest update. Haliburton has averaged 20.0 points and 12.3 assists this season, meaning he should be featured in every fantasy lineup. However, […]

Gabe Vincent Expected To Miss At Least Two Weeks

Los Angeles Lakers guard Gabe Vincent (knee) will be out for two weeks as he deals with a left knee effusion. The team is going to re-evaluate his status after two weeks and then his return to play options will be assessed. Vincent hasn't been as much of a fantasy contributor as he was with […]

Markelle Fultz Uncertain For Saturday Against Lakers

Orlando Magic guard Markelle Fultz (knee) was a late scratch for the team's game on Thursday and is now questionable for Saturday's game against the Los Angeles Lakers.

Dennis Smith Jr. Questionable For Friday Night

Brooklyn Nets guard Dennis Smith Jr. (hip) is questionable heading into Friday's meeting with the Chicago Bulls. The 25-year-old has averaged 4.3 points, 3.0 rebounds, and 1.3 assists this season, meaning he hasn't done enough to work his way into fantasy lineups. However, assuming Smith is healthy, he could see more chances to produce on […]

Spencer Dinwiddie Questionable Versus The Bulls

Brooklyn Nets guard Spencer Dinwiddie (ankle) is questionable for Friday's meeting with the Bulls in Chicago. He tweaked his left ankle in Monday's win over Charlotte and didn't play on Wednesday versus the Miami Heat. It's anyone's guess if Dinwiddie will miss another game. However, if he's ruled out, Cameron Thomas will stay in the […]

Darius Garland Questionable Against Indiana

Cleveland Cavaliers guard Darius Garland (hamstring) is questionable for Friday's Central Division showdown with the Pacers. The 23-year-old played in the opening night win over the Brooklyn Nets, finishing with 15 points, five assists, and two steals. However, he's battled a left hamstring strain all year, although it appears he's trending toward returning sooner rather […]

Shaedon Sharpe Probable For Friday

Portland Trail Blazers guard Shaedon Sharpe (thumb) is listed as probable for Friday's game against the Memphis Grizzlies. Sharpe looked good on Wednesday, but apparently suffered a sprained right thumb in the process. It doesn't sound like something that is going to sideline Sharpe. He'll likely have a bigger role in the rotation with Scoot […]

Devin Booker To Play On Thursday

Phoenix Suns guard Devin Booker (foot) will suit up for Thursday's game against the San Antonio Spurs. The star guard will make his first appearance since the season opener. This is a welcoming sight with Bradley Beal (back) still sidelined. Eric Gordon and Grayson Allen should see somewhat decreased roles with Booker back in the […]

Scoot Henderson Won't Play On Friday

Portland Trail Blazers guard Scoot Henderson (ankle) has been ruled out ahead of Friday's game against the Memphis Grizzlies. The rookie guard suffered a right ankle sprain during Wednesday's win over the Detroit Pistons. He'll be forced to miss at least one game because of the injury. The expectation is that Malcolm Brogdon will enter […]

Zach LaVine Expected To Suit Up On Friday

Chicago Bulls guard Zach LaVine (back) is listed as probable for Friday's game against the Brooklyn Nets. The star guard has been listed on the injury report ahead of the last two games.
