Los Angeles Lakers shooting guard/small forward Avery Bradley (knee) will miss Tuesday's game against Dallas, marking his fourth consecutive absence due to a right knee effusion. Austin Reaves has shifted into the starting five for the past two games, but he has not been much of a fantasy factor even with the increased role. Talen Horton-Tucker and Malik Monk stand to see an additional handful of minutes without Bradley available on the wing. Even when healthy, Bradley has primarily been a defense-first option for the Lakers, with the veteran having scored in double figures just twice over his last 17 games. His next chance to take the floor comes Thursday vs. the Clippers.
Los Angeles Lakers guard Avery Bradley (knee) has been ruled out for Sunday's game against the New Orleans Pelicans. This marks the third game in a row that Bradley has missed due to a right knee issue. Talen Horton-Tucker should continue to see more playing time without Bradley available. He finished with 16 points during Friday's game, but Horton-Tucker has been inconsistent all season long. He's a possible streaming option for desperate fantasy managers for Sunday's slate.
Los Angeles Lakers shooting guard Avery Bradley (knee) has been ruled out for Friday's contest against the Clippers as he continues to battle a right knee effusion. Bradley, an integral member of L.A.'s starting five, has been more impactful on the ball defensively than as a fantasy contributor in 2021-22. Malik Monk slid into the starting five in the final outing of the first half without Bradley available, while Talen Horton-Tucker and Austin Reaves also played significant roles and minutes off the bench. Bradley's next chance to return to action comes Sunday vs. New Orleans.
Los Angeles Lakers guard Avery Bradley (head) is listed as questionable for Friday's game against the Portland Trail Blazers. He suffered a head contusion during Wednesday's contest, but managed to play 33 minutes during that game. Bradley hasn't been much of a fantasy option this season, but has played significant minutes in the rotation. His absence would open up more chances for Talen Horton-Tucker. He'd likely jump into the starting five, assuming Bradley is unable to play. Horton-Tucker could have some streaming appeal and low cost DFS value if he starts on Friday.
Los Angeles Lakers guard Avery Bradley (thumb) has been ruled out for Tuesday's game against the Sacramento Kings. He has been in the starting five lately, but will miss at least one game due to a sprained right thumb. Malik Monk, Wayne Ellington, and Talen Horton-Tucker will absorb extra minutes with Bradley sidelined. Horton-Tucker is the best fantasy option out of the bunch. He has some DFS appeal for Tuesday's slate.
Avery Bradley, Danuel House Jr. Will Miss Thursday’s Game
Houston Rockets shooting guard Avery Bradley (leg) and small/power forward Danuel House Jr. (ankle) have both been deemed unavailable for Thursday's contest against the Bucks. If contending with Milwaukee wasn't difficult enough, Houston will now be severely short-handed on the wing, with Jae'Sean Tate likely to step into a sizable role. Neither Bradley nor House has shown a propensity for being a reliable fantasy commodity over the final few weeks of the regular season, although their next opportunity to get back into action comes Saturday versus Golden State.
Avery Bradley With Strong Showing Off Rockets Bench
Houston Rockets guard very Bradley scored 15 points on 6-for-12 shooting in Friday's loss to the Boston Celtics. He was 2-for-7 from deep while also adding six rebounds and three assists. This was Bradley's third game in a Rockets uniform, and while he was 1-for-6 from the floor in his debut, he's now taken double-digit shot attempts in each of the last two games. It's not quite time to go out and add Bradley in season-long leagues, but his increased workload for Houston is something we should at least keep an eye on.
Goran Dragic, Avery Bradley Questionable For Thursday
Miami Heat guard Goran Dragic (knee) and guard Avery Bradley (calf) have been listed as questionable for Thursday's contest against the Trail Blazers. Dragic has missed the past two games, while Bradley has gotten the questionable tag the past few games before being held out. Kendrick Nunn and Tyler Herro should continue to see increased usage if both players remain sidelined. Nunn is coming off of a 25-point, five-triple performance in Tuesday's game.
Goran Dragic, Avery Bradley Questionable For Tuesday
Miami Heat point guard Goran Dragic (back) and shooting guard Avery Bradley (calf) have both picked up questionable tags for Tuesday's contest against the Suns. Dragic missed Miami's most recent outing with the ailment, while Bradley has not appeared in game action since Feb. 3. With neither in the mix, Tyler Herro, Duncan Robinson and Kendrick Nunn also saw elevated roles their last time out, and would figure to retain their respective roles Tuesday. Bradley's return, whenever it comes, will likely feature a limited minutes allotment, allowing fantasy managers to leave him on the waiver wire for the foreseeable future. Check back prior to tip-off to get the final word on both Dragic and Bradley.
Avery Bradley, Andre Iguodala Questionable To Play Friday
Miami Heat shooting guard/small forward Avery Bradley (calf) and small forward Andre Iguodala (hip) have both been deemed questionable to suit up for Friday's contest against Indiana. Bradley has not played since Feb. 3 due to a right calf strain, while Iguodala has missed just one game with a hip ailment. Bradley is the more fantasy-relevant of the two, although he can be expected to be eased into the rotation, stemming his value for the time being. Iguodala has shot a career-worst 38.6 percent this season, contributing little during his action off the bench. Check back prior to tip-off to get a better read on what the Heat's depth will look like.
