  • Player Notes
    Ja Morant Thu Jan 9 8:30am

    Memphis Grizzlies point guard Ja Morant (shoulder) is questionable for Thursday's matchup against Houston. He may be sidelined for a sixth straight game due to a shoulder injury. Scotty Pippen Jr. will continue to have additional fantasy value until Morant returns. The 24-year-old has started each of the last five games without Morant, averaging 11.8 points, 3.4 rebounds, 3.8 assists, and 2.0 steals. Meanwhile, players like Desmond Bane (ankle) and Jaylen Wells are getting more looks offensively.

    Desmond Bane Thu Jan 9 8:30am

    Memphis Grizzlies guard/forward Desmond Bane (ankle) carries a questionable tag ahead of Thursday's contest against Houston. An ankle injury might keep him out of action for a second consecutive game. The Grizzlies are once again battling injuries in 2024-25, giving players like Scotty Pippen Jr., Luke Kennard, and Jaylen Wells extra responsibilities. All three players have performed well recently, although Wells has struggled with consistency. Jaren Jackson Jr. (thigh) might also drop out of the lineup on Thursday, opening up even more minutes in the rotation.

    Draymond Green Thu Jan 9 8:20am

    Golden State Warriors forward/center Draymond Green (ankle) has been listed as questionable for Thursday's game against Detroit. The Warriors begin a back-to-back, with a trip to Indianapolis scheduled for Friday, and it looks like Green will sit out at least one of the contests. Jonathan Kuminga (ankle) has previously benefited from Green's absence but is currently out, so players like Kyle Anderson and Trayce Jackson-Davis get a chance to log more action. With additional playing time, Anderson can certainly do some damage with his all-around skills, while Jackson-Davis is a double-double threat if he gets enough time on the court.

    Stephen Curry Thu Jan 9 8:10am

    Golden State Warriors point guard Stephen Curry (knee) is questionable for Thursday's game against Detroit. He's dealing with inflammation in his left knee and may be out for the second time in four games. Curry has sat out a game in each of the last three back-to-back situations for the Warriors, so we likely won't see him on Thursday or in Friday's matchup against Indiana. Dennis Schroder's (hip) fantasy stock would receive a boost with Curry's absence, but he is also listed as questionable for Thursday.

    Giannis Antetokounmpo Wed Jan 8 8:10pm

    Milwaukee Bucks forward Giannis Antetokounmpo (knee) is available ahead of Wednesday's game against the San Antonio Spurs. As expected, Antetokounmpo is cleared to play despite dealing with a right knee issue. The superstar forward has missed a few games due to his knee problems this season, but the Bucks have done a nice job at managing the issue. The assumption is that Antetokounmpo is going to have a full workload during this game. Fantasy managers can go ahead and get Antetokounmpo active in their lineups.

    Khris Middleton Wed Jan 8 8:10pm

    Milwaukee Bucks forward Khris Middleton (ankle) is available ahead of Wednesday's game against the San Antonio Spurs. Middleton will make his way back to the court after sitting out Monday's contest for rest purposes. The Bucks have decided to shake up their lineups and will move Taurean Prince into their starting five for now. Middleton has been a decent fantasy contributor with a three-game stretch of 20 points or more in late December. His fantasy value and playing time are certainly going to take a hit coming off the bench. Price is a low-end streaming option due to his defensive ability.

    Damian Lillard Wed Jan 8 7:50pm

    Milwaukee Bucks guard Damian Lillard (calf) has been upgraded to available ahead of Wednesday's game against the San Antonio Spurs. The superstar guard was a late addition to the injury report due to a left calf contusion. Despite that, Lillard is available, but he might be on a minutes limit. It wouldn't be shocking to see the Bucks pull out Lillard early if the game gets out of hand. Fantasy managers in season-long formats should feel comfortable getting Lillard back in their lineups.

    Nikola Jokic Wed Jan 8 6:30pm

    Denver Nuggets center Nikola Jokic (illness) has been ruled out ahead of Wednesday's game against the Los Angeles Clippers. The superstar center will now miss his second game in a row due to an illness. The Nuggets are likely going to use a committee approach to fill help the void. Dario Saric and DeAndre Jordan should both see more minutes during Wednesday's game. Neither of them brought much to the table on Tuesday, so fantasy managers should probably be able to find better streaming options for Wednesday's slate.

    Karl-Anthony Towns Wed Jan 8 6:10pm

    New York Knicks center Karl-Anthony Towns (knee) is available ahead of Wednesday's game against the Toronto Raptors. The superstar center is back in action after sitting out of Monday's contest due to right knee tendinitis. There is no word of Towns being limited after a one-game absence, so fantasy managers should expect him to have his full workload. Jericho Sims played 29 minutes on Monday, so he's expected to fall in the rotation with Towns available. Fantasy managers can feel safe getting Towns back in their lineups ahead of tip-off.

    Miles McBride Wed Jan 8 6:10pm

    New York Knicks guard Miles McBride (hamstring) has been ruled out ahead of Wednesday's game against the Toronto Raptors. This marks the fourth game in a row that McBride has missed due to a left hamstring issue. His absence should mean increased playing time for Cameron Payne and Landry Shamet. Both players are only playing minutes in the teens and aren't contributing enough to be considered streaming options for Wednesday's slate.

    Carlton Carrington Wed Jan 8 6:00pm

    Washington Wizards guard Bub Carrington (back) is available ahead of Wednesday's game against the Philadelphia 76ers. The rookie guard is dealing with a lower back issue, but that won't stop him from suiting up here. There is no word on Carrington being limited, so fantasy managers should expect him to be a full-go here. The 19-year-old has finished with double digit points in each of his last two games. Fantasy managers should feel comfortable getting Carrington back in their lineups on Wednesday.

    Andre Drummond Wed Jan 8 6:00pm

    Philadelphia 76ers centerAndre Drummond(toe) is out for Wednesday's matchup with the Washington Wizards, according to Ky Carlin of USA Today. Drummond's absence was expected as he was deemed doubtful earlier in the day. Joel Embiid(foot) is also out, so Guerschon Yabusele will likely see plenty of action and get the start at center going up against the Wizards. Dummond's next opportunity to suit up will be versus New Orleans on Friday.

    Jalen Suggs Wed Jan 8 5:50pm

    Despite practicing Wednesday, Orlando Magic guardJalen Suggs(back) will not play against the Minnesota Timberwolves on Thursday due to a back strain. His next opportunity to get back on the floor comes on Friday against Milwaukee which is the second half of a back-to-back set. While the 23-year-old is sidelined, Cole Anthonyshould continue to start. Jett HowardandTrevelin Queenwill get some scoring opportunities coming off the bench as well.

    Kyle Kuzma Wed Jan 8 5:50pm

    Washington Wizards forward Kyle Kuzma (calf) is available ahead of Wednesday's game against the Philadelphia 76ers. Kuzma exited early on Tuesday due to a right calf contusion, but it doesn't look like it's going to cost him any time. He was listed as questionable coming into the game, but he'll ultimately suit up on Wednesday. He has been playing better lately with a 28-point performance last week. Fantasy managers who have Kuzma rostered can get him back in there on Wednesday. Kuzma has been inconsistent this season, but he's still worth rostering in most fantasy formats.

    Zion Williamson Wed Jan 8 5:30pm

    The New Orleans Pelicans announced forward Zion Williamson (injury maintenance) is unavailable for Wednesday's game against the Portland Trail Blazers. As expected, Williamson will sit out the second half of back-to-back contests after returning on Tuesday in a 104-97 loss to the Timberwolves. In his return the 24-year-old posted 22 points, six rebounds, four assists, three steals and one block in 28 minutes after missing 30 games this season after dealing with a right hamstring strain. Javonte Green will likely gain some extra playing time during Williamson's absence.

    Aaron Gordon Wed Jan 8 5:00pm

    Denver Nuggets forward Aaron Gordon (calf) won't play against the Los Angeles Clippers on Wednesday. Gordon will miss his eighth consecutive contest due to a calf strain. The 29-year-old participated in most of practice on Monday, likely leading to his returning soon. His next opportunity to suit up comes on Friday against the Nets. Former Clipper Russell Westbrook will continue to get the nod to start in place of Gordon until his return.

    Nikola Jokic Wed Jan 8 4:40pm

    Denver Nuggets centerNikola Jokic(illness) is listed as questionable for Thursday's matchup with the Los Angeles Clippers. Jokic is in danger of missing a second consecutive contest due to an illness. A decision on his game availability will likely be made closer to warmups. If the big man is unavailable, Dario Saric and DeAndre Jordan will take on expanded roles in the team rotation. However, Saric and Jordan are not viable fantasy options at center for Wednesday.

    Paolo Banchero Wed Jan 8 4:20pm

    According to Shams Charania of ESPN, Orlando Magic forwardPaolo Banchero (oblique) is set to return against the Minnesota Timberwolves on Thursday. Banchero returned to practice Wednesday after not playing since October 30th due to a torn right oblique. Fantasy managers should prepare to have the 22-year-old back in their lineup, as he had an excellent start to the season before his injury. He's posted averages of 29.0 points, 8.8 rebounds and 5.6 assists during 36.4 minutes in five contests.

    Kawhi Leonard Wed Jan 8 4:00pm

    Los Angeles Clippers forwardKawhi Leonard(personal) will not suit up against the Denver Nuggets on Wednesday, per NBA reporter Chris Haynes. Leonard is temporarily stepping away from the Clippers to help family members who were forced to evacuate during the current wildfires in Los Angeles County.While the 33-year-old is out, James Harden and Norman Powell will see an uptick in minutes. Terrance Mann, who recently recovered from a finger injury, may also take on more playing time versus the Nuggets.

    Deni Avdija Wed Jan 8 8:40am

    Portland Trail Blazers forward Deni Avdija (wrist) may sit out his first game of the season on Wednesday against New Orleans, as the team has listed him as questionable on the injury report. Avdija, who has recently been a starter due to Jerami Grant's (face) absence, has suffered a right wrist sprain. Kris Murray has already started to play more because of Grant's injury, and Avdija's exit from the lineup would further boost his fantasy stock. Rayan Rupert and Dalano Banton might also receive more playing time Wednesday night.
