• SynonymありそうにないNeutralLooks unlikely to exist or happen; close in meaning to 「なさそう」 but leans toward written, formal prose.
• Related見込みのないNeutralMeans there is no hope or prospect; it judges the outlook, unlike 「なさそう」, which is a plain guess that something is not there.
• AntonymありそうNeutralThe opposite of 「なさそう」: it looks like something is there or will happen, as in 「何かありそう」.

Use 「なさそう」 when something looks absent or unlikely, as in 「時間がなさそう」 or 「問題なさそう」; for the opposite impression use 「ありそう」. 「ありそうにない」 is a written-style near-equivalent, and 「見込みのない」 speaks of lost hope rather than a plain guess.
