This is the final week of the regular season. The playoff bracket for the four teams involved in the league playoffs will be set by 10 a.m. ET on Monday morning of Playoff Week 1.
The waiver awards this week may be delayed on Sunday night in order to determine the teams eligible for waiver pickups.
I agree with u six would make better sense!!
I also think only having 4 bench spots is lame with all the injuries and load management. Feel like 6 would be more ideal
Yes, I agree with your assessment, but I'm a basketball freak and watch practically every game on NBA pass. Unfortunately my wife likes basketball more than me. LOL. I saw Holgrem fall Sunday night in a heap and knew he'd be out for quite awhile (I own him in 3 leagues). I also wish they had mid week moves so we could fix lineups that have early week mishaps. I actually like the rotisserie format better than head to head. Head to head is pretty much dependent on games played each week. Stay well all and enjoy your Thanksgiving. MiniMe
Started Malik Monk in every league I have him because I checked 30 minutes before kickoff and he had 0 injury designations. Saw that he didn't play and checked his player profile Tuesday morning and he was reported injured and the time stamp was somehow before the time I checked but when I looked there was nothing there. Not sure how that is even allowed, rtsports gets worse every year with basketball probably the last year for me
To be fair, rtsports is absolutely atrocious at updating injury designations for basketball players

Lakers' G Luka Doncic recorded a double-double, scoring 45 points and grabbing 11 rebounds in a 106-126 loss to Milwaukee on Thursday, Mar. 13.
Boston Celtics forward Jayson Tatum (knee) is questionable for Friday's matchup with the Heat. The 27-year-old missed the March 5 win over Portland because of a shoulder injury. He returned for the following two games before getting ruled out ahead of Monday's meeting with Utah because of a knee injury. Tatum was out there for Boston's most recent contest, which was a 118-112 loss to OKC. While he was back on the injury report heading into that one, he still finished with 33 points, a team-high. Boston will play the Nets on Saturday, so there's a chance Tatum may get a night off. The Celtics also listed Kristaps Porzingis (illness), Jaylen Brown (knee), and Derrick White (knee) on the injury report. With that in mind, Payton Pritchard, Sam Hauser, and Jrue Holiday may see more looks at the basket.
Boston Celtics forward Jaylen Brown (knee) is questionable for Friday's game against the Heat. He's been bothered by a knee issue and wasn't available for the win over the 76ers on March 6. But despite landing on the injury report ahead of the C's previous three contests, Brown has been out there, although he had only 10 points in the 118-112 loss to the Oklahoma City Thunder on Wednesday evening. Kristaps Porzingis (illness), Jayson Tatum (knee), and Derrick White (knee) are also questionable. As a result, Jrue Holiday, Payton Pritchard, and Sam Hauser might see more scoring opportunities versus a Miami team that has lost five-straight contests.
Toronto Raptors forward Scottie Barnes (hand) is listed as questionable ahead of Friday's game against the Utah Jazz. Barnes sat out of Wednesday's contest after aggravating his right hand injury. His absence resulted in Jamison Battle, Jared Rhoden, and Garrett Temple seeing more playing time in the rotation. Between the three, Rhoden is looking like the best fantasy option after finishing with 25 points and 12 rebounds during Wednesday's game.
Dallas Mavericks forward P.J. Washington (ankle) is listed as questionable ahead of Friday's game against the Houston Rockets. Washington has missed the last six games and is in danger of missing another contest due to an ankle injury. His absence has resulted in Naji Marshall and Kessler Edwards seeing more playing time in the rotation. Marshall has been on a hot streak recently and is worth rostering in most 12-team formats right now. Edwards is worth a look as well, but is more of a low-end streaming choice. Both players would likely lose value if Washington is upgraded to available for this contest.
Cleveland Cavaliers guard Donovan Mitchell (groin) has been ruled out ahead of Friday's game against the Memphis Grizzlies. Mitchell will miss his second game in a row due to left groin soreness. The Cavs are in good enough position playoff-wise that they don't need to push Mitchell out there if he isn't 100 percent healthy. Isaac Okoro figures to remain in the starting five for at least one more game. He finished with six points and five rebounds across 32 minutes on Tuesday. It doesn't appear that the extended playing time is going to make Okoro a viable fantasy option.
Cleveland Cavaliers forward De'Andre Hunter (illness) is listed as probable ahead of Friday's game against the Memphis Grizzlies. Hunter appears to be ready to get back in action following a one-game absence due to an illness. The Cavs are going to be without Donovan Mitchell (groin), so Hunter could be asked to take on a bigger role on Friday. The 27-year-old is worth a look as a streaming option, assuming he's cleared to play on Friday.
Denver Nuggets forward Aaron Gordon (ankle) is listed as questionable ahead of Friday's game against the Los Angeles Lakers. Gordon has missed the last two games and sat out five of the last seven contests. The absence of Gordon has given Peyton Watson, Russell Westbrook, and Zeke Nnaji more playing time in the rotation. Westbrook has taken advantage of it with a handful of solid fantasy performances over the last few games. He would once again be a popular fantasy option if Gordon is unable to play on Friday. Fantasy managers will need to check back on Friday for another update.
Denver Nuggets guard Jamal Murray (knee) is listed as probable ahead of Friday's game against the Los Angeles Lakers. Murray has been a regular on the injury report, but he has only missed one game over the last two months. He is currently dealing with left knee inflammation, but it doesn't appear to be something that is going to slow him down. Murray has been a bit sluggish in the scoring department lately with 20 points or more in three or his last four games. Despite that, Murray is a must-start in all fantasy formats when healthy.
Sacramento Kings forward Trey Lyles (leg) has been upgraded to available ahead of Thursday's game against the Golden State Warriors. Lyles was a late addition to the injury report due to a leg injury, but it doesn't appear to be something that is going to keep him on the sideline. Normally, Lyles plays minutes in the teens off the bench, but he could see an increased role on Thursday with Domantas Sabonis (hamstring) ruled out for this game. Honestly, Jonas Valanciunas will probably absorb most of the additional minutes, so Lyles still isn't an ideal streaming option.
Golden State Warriors forward Jonathan Kuminga (ankle) has been upgraded to available ahead of Thursday's game against the Sacramento Kings. Kuminga is available to play after missing the last 31 games due to a right ankle sprain. That being said, Kuminga is going to be eased back into action after a two-month absence. Head coach Steve Kerr didn't say exactly how limited Kuminga would be on Thursday, but it'll likely be short stints during his first game back. Gui Santos figures to lose streaming appeal especially once Kuminga is back up to full speed.
Denver Nuggets center Nikola Jokic (elbow, ankle) is listed as probable ahead of Friday's game against the Los Angeles Lakers. The big man has been dealing with multiple nagging injuries, but Jokic has continued to play through the issues. It doesn't seem to be impacting him on the court considering he's averaging nearly 30 points and 15 rebounds over his last five games. The three-time MVP is nearly unstoppable when he's on the court and isn't going to let a few minor injuries hold him back.
According to Anthony Slater of The Athletic, Sacramento Kings center Domantas Sabonis (hamstring) won't return to the floor for Thursday's matchup with the Golden State Warriors. Sabonis will be sidelined for the sixth straight game due to a left-hamstring strain. Despite carrying the unavailable tag for Thursday's contest, the big man went through a full practice on Wednesday, meaning he will return soon. Fantasy managers should be satisfied with the news of Sabonis potentially coming back earlier than initially thought since he was ruled out indefinitely just a week ago with a Grade 1 hamstring strain.
Jovan Buha of The Athleticreports that Los Angeles Lakers forwardRui Hachimura (knee) was sent back to Los Angeles and will be considered day-to-day by head coach JJ Redick moving forward. Hachimura, along with LeBron James(groin) andJaxson Hayes(knee), are returning to Los Angeles early from a Lakers road trip that still includes stops in Milwaukee and Denver. The 27-year-old Hachimura has missed six consecutive contests, but his recovery is moving in the right direction. Barring any setbacks, he could potentially return against the Suns on Sunday.
According to ESPN's Shams Charania, San Antonio Spurs guard De'Aaron Fox (finger) will miss the rest of the 2024-25 campaign. Fox, who was traded from Sacramento ahead of the deadline, has been playing through tendon damage in his left pinkie. However, with the Spurs having virtually no hope of making the Play-In, the move was made for Fox to have surgery. It's unknown when he'll be cleared to return to basketball activities. But Fox, averaging 19.7 points, 6.8 assists, and 1.5 steals in 17 games in San Antonio, will remain a top fantasy option heading into next season, assuming he won't miss time. In the meantime, Stephon Castle should see a surge in production without Fox on the floor.
According to Jovan Buha of The Athletic, Los Angeles Lakers head coach JJ Redick said that forwardLeBron James (groin) has already been ruled out for Thursday's matchup against the Bucks and Friday's matchup against the Nuggets, and is considered day-to-day moving forward. James' streak of missed games will extend to three after Friday's contest due to a left-groin strain. Despite being out of action for the next two games, the 40-year-old star forward could potentially return to the floor on Sunday against the Suns. In 10 outings since the All-Star game, he has posted averages of 28.3 points, 10.5 rebounds, 6.4 assists, 1.1 blocks and 1.0 steals during 36.5 minutes per game.
Chicago Bulls guard Lonzo Ball (wrist) won't play on Thursday versus Brooklyn. He missed the last six games because of a sprained right wrist and was listed as doubtful heading into this one. But the 27-year-old is officially ruled out, although it appears there's a chance he could return during the Bulls' upcoming six-game road trip. Josh Giddey (ankle) is also out, meaning Tre Jones, Coby White, and Kevin Huerter should absorb most of the minutes in the backcourt.
Chicago Bulls guard Josh Giddey (ankle) won't play on Thursday versus the Nets. He sprained his ankle in Monday's meeting with the Indiana Pacers. Giddey had already indicated he would miss time, although head coach Billy Donovan didn't slam the door on a return sometime in the near future, confirming he would travel for the Bulls' upcoming six-game road trip. With Lonzo Ball (wrist) also ruled out, Tre Jones will likely remain in the starting lineup, with Kevin Huerter and Patrick Williams also in line for enhanced roles.
Milwaukee Bucks forward Giannis Antetokounmpo (calf) will play on Thursday against the Lakers. The multi-time All-Star isn't a stranger to the league's official injury report, and he was back on it for this contest because of his ailing calf. However, he hasn't missed a game since before the All-Star break, so that trend will continue on Thursday evening. Antetokounmpo has had a stellar 2024-25 campaign, averaging 30.7 points, 12.1 rebounds, 5.9 assists, and 1.2 blocks. Although The Freak has shot just 18.6% from behind the arc, he's a must-start in any fantasy setup.
Milwaukee Bucks guard Damian Lillard (groin) will play on Thursday versus the Lakers. Despite making routine appearances on the injury report because of various ailments, the former Trail Blazer hasn't missed a game since the February 21 win over the Washington Wizards. Lillard has played well this season, averaging 25.3 points, 7.1 assists, 4.7 rebounds, and 1.2 steals, making him a welcome addition to any fantasy lineup against a Los Angeles team that won't have LeBron James (groin).
