The NBA Injury Report is updated continuously throughout the day. Check back for the latest NBA injury news and updates, along with the top Pick6 picks, DFS plays and pivots!
In
- Jayson Tatum | Achilles | Boston Celtics
- After rupturing his Achilles, Celtics superstar Jayson Tatum is nearing a return, 10 months removed from the injury. Tatum will be good to make his season debut against the Dallas Mavericks tonight, which in turn, will impact Jaylen Brown and Derrick White. Brown has scored at least 27 points in two of his last three and has been the Celtics’ best player without Tatum.

Out
- Darius Garland | Toe | Los Angeles Clippers
- Darius Garland recently made his debut for the Clippers but is sidelined once again with left toe injury management. Kawhi Leonard and Bennedict Mathurin have been two of the Clippers’ best players lately and should continue to produce. In the Clippers’ last game, Leonard had 29 points while Mathurin scored 23.
- TOP DFS PLAYS with Garland out: Kawhi Leonard ($9,500); Bennedict Mathurin ($6,400)
- TOP PICK6 PICKS with Garland out: Kawhi Leonard More Than 27.5 Points
- John Collins | Neck | Los Angeles Clippers
- Tidjane Salaun | Calf | Charlotte Hornets
- Yanic Konan Niederhauser | Foot | Los Angeles Clippers
- Shaedon Sharpe | Calf | Portland Trailblazers
- One of the Trail Blazers’ best players this season, Shaedon Sharpe, last played on February 6 and is still out with a strained left calf. Since Avdija is likely to be out as well, Jrue Holiday and Scoot Henderson are two guards primed for a big outing. Holiday has recorded a 20-point performance in four of his previous five games. Henderson has scored eight points in two of his last three, but before that, he had double digits in eight straight.
- TOP DFS PLAYS with Sharpe out: Jrue Holiday ($7,500); Scoot Henderson ($5,600)
- TOP PICK6 PICKS with Sharpe out: Scoot Henderson More Than 11.5 Points
- Kris Murray | Illness | Portland Trail Blazers
- Deni Avdija | Back | Portland Trail Blazers
- It seems like Avdija is still working his way back from a lower back injury, as he is doubtful against the Houston Rockets. Jrue Holiday has recently turned back the clock, scoring 23-plus points in his last three games while totaling 25 points and 11 assists on Wednesday against the Grizzlies. Jerami Grant is another veteran for Portland who has been productive and is coming off a 30-point outing.
- TOP DFS PLAYS if Avdija is out: Jrue Holiday ($7,500); Jerami Grant ($6,600)
