All Player News

LeBron James

LAL Small Forward #23

LeBron James (left calf contusion) is questionable to play against the Thunder on Thursday.
Anthony Davis

LAL Power Forward #3

Anthony Davis (left groin/hip spasm) is probable to play against the Thunder on Thursday.
Norman Powell

LAC Small Forward #24

Norman Powell (right knee contusion) is questionable to play against the Warriors on Thursday.
Jordan Clarkson

UTA Point Guard #00

Jordan Clarkson (right thigh contusion) and Kelly Olynyk (right shoulder strain) are questionable for Thursday’s matchup with the Timberwolves.

Clarkson and Olynyk were both questionable on Wednesday but were able to suit up for the first night of the back-to-back. If JC has to sit out the second night, Collin Sexton and Talen Horton-Tucker would likely see some extra minutes, with THT more likely to enter the starting unit. If Olynyk is out, Luka Samanic would likely have to fill the backup power forward minutes behind John Collins. However, he won’t be worth streaming.
Kris Dunn

UTA Point Guard #11

Kris Dunn (personal reasons) will remain sidelined for Thursday’s game against Minnesota.

Dunn got the starting nod in his last appearance with Jordan Clarkson out. However, he has spent most of the season as a depth guard that hasn’t seen many minutes. His second straight absence will just leave some extra minutes for Collin Sexton and Talen Horton-Tucker, but it won’t impact many fantasy lineups.
Dennis Smith Jr.

BKN Point Guard #4

Dennis Smith Jr. (lower back sprain) has been ruled out for Thursday’s matchup with Charlotte.

DSJ will miss a sixth straight game with this back sprain, but with Cam Thomas back for this game, Brooklyn will have some help at the guard spot. Smith Jr. isn’t a player worth rostering in standard leagues, so his continued absence won’t have much of a fantasy impact.
Royce O'Neale

BKN Small Forward #00

Royce O’Neale (left hip contusion) is questionable to play against Charlotte on Thursday.

O’Neale has been on fire over their last two games with averages of 19 points, eight rebounds, four assists, 1.5 steals, 1.0 block and six 3-pointers. He’ll likely lose out on some minutes with Cam Thomas back in the lineup for the first time in a few weeks, and if O’Neale is sidelined for this game, Thomas should fill out the majority of his minutes, with the rest going to the starters.
Cam Thomas

BKN Shooting Guard #24

Cam Thomas (left ankle sprain) will play against Charlotte on Tuesday.

Thomas will be available to play for the first time in over three weeks. He was on fire to start the season, but we’ll have to see if he gets the start in his first game back. Jacque Vaughn may opt to ease him back into the rotation with a game or two off the bench. Dorian Finney-Smith should end up as the odd man out that is pushed to the bench when Thomas is back to playing his full workload, and Lonnie Walker will also lose out on some minutes and shot attempts.
Tim Hardaway Jr.

DAL Shooting Guard #10

Tim Hardaway Jr. (back spasms) and Olivier-Maxence Prosper (ankle sprain) are questionable for Friday’s matchup with the Grizzlies, according to Mavericks beat writer Grant Afseth.

Jaden Hardy and Josh Green are candidates for extended run if THJ is ruled out. O-Max is averaging just 5.9 minutes per game this season, so his availability should have little impact on lineup decisions for fantasy managers.
Bam Adebayo

MIA Center #13

Bam Adebayo (left hip contusion), Duncan Robinson (right thumb sprain) and Haywood Highsmith (lower back contusion) are all available Thursday against the Pacers.

Bam has missed two of his last four, but in the pair of games he played, he averaged 26 points and 11 rebounds. Robinson has been a fixture in Miami’s starting lineup since Tyler Herro went out, and he returned Tuesday following a two-game absence. Highsmith has also been a regular starter, and he’ll be back in action after just one game on the sidelines. All three should start, which could mean less playing time for Josh Richardson and Jaime Jaquez
