Ben Simmons To Miss Monday's Contest

Brooklyn Nets guard Ben Simmons (knee) has been ruled out for Monday's game against the Los Angeles Lakers. This will be the second game in a row that Simmons has missed due to left knee soreness. His absence will mean that Seth Curry will remain in the starting five. He finished with 14 points and […]

Hamidou Diallo Ruled Out For Monday

Detroit Pistons guard Hamidou Diallo (illness) has been ruled out for Monday's game against the Dallas Mavericks. The 24-year-old was a late addition to the injury report due to a non-COVID related illness. This is a shame because Diallo was playing very well over the last two weeks. He has been providing 6th-round value in […]

Joel Embiid Cleared For Monday's Game

Philadelphia 76ers center Joel Embiid (foot) has been cleared to suit up for Monday's game against the Orlando Magic. The superstar big man has been dealing with left foot soreness, but is good to go on Monday. Both Montrezl Harrell and P.J. Tucker will see reduced roles with Embiid in the starting five. Fantasy managers […]

Jalen Green Misses Monday's Practice

Houston Rockets guard Jalen Green (calf) was unable to practice on Monday. However, head coach John Lucas is hopeful that Green will be able to play against the Oklahoma City Thunder on Wednesday. Green missed Saturday's game, which allowed Daishen Nix to get the start. It's worth noting that Josh Christopher has started as well […]

Alperen Sengun Able To Practice On Monday

Houston Rockets center Alperen Sengun (illness) was able to participate in Monday's practice. That is good news after the young center was forced to miss Saturday's game due to a non-COVID related illness. It sounds like the 20-year-old is doing better and hopefully he'll be able to play in Wednesday's game against the Oklahoma City […]

Kevin Love Practices On Monday

Cleveland Cavaliers forward Kevin Love (back) was able to participate in Monday's practice. The veteran forward has missed the last three games due to lower back spasms. There's a chance that Love suits up for Tuesday's game against the Miami Heat. His return would mean that Dean Wade and Robin Lopez would see decreased roles. […]

Romeo Langford To Miss Third Straight Game

San Antonio Spurs guard Romeo Langford (groin) has been downgraded to out for Monday's game against the Washington Wizards. The 23-year-old will miss his third game in a row due to left groin tightness. His absence will mean another start for Keita Bates-Diop. Over the last two games, Bates-Diop is averaging 13.5 points, 5.0 rebounds, […]

Daniel Gafford Added To Injury Report

Washington Wizards center Daniel Gafford (illness) has been added to the injury report ahead of Monday's game against the San Antonio Spurs. The big man is reportedly dealing with a non-COVID related illness. The good news is, Kristaps Porzingis (ankle) is expected to get back on the court Monday. His return would ease the blow […]

Omer Yurtseven Hopeful To Return After All-Star Break

Miami Heat center Omer Yurtseven (ankle) is fully healed and expected to return after the All-Star break. The 24-year-old was expected to miss three months after having left ankle surgery. It sounds like Yurtseven is ahead of schedule and could return shortly after the All-Star break. The expectation is that Yurtseven will serve as the […]

De'Andre Hunter To Return On Saturday

Atlanta Hawks forward De'Andre Hunter (illness) is set to return for Saturday's game against the Los Angeles Clippers. The young forward has missed the last two games due to a minor illness. His return will shift Bogdan Bogdanovic to the second unit. The move to the bench shouldn't impact Bogdanovic as he should still serve […]

Romeo Langford Won't Play On Saturday

San Antonio Spurs guard Romeo Langford (groin) has been ruled out for Saturday's game against the Phoenix Suns. It appears the 23-year-old will miss another game due to groin tightness. His absence will mean that Keita Bates-Diop should remain in the starting five. It's unlikely that a move to the starting unit is going to […]

Myles Turner Signs Extension With Pacers

Indiana Pacers center Myles Turner has agreed to an extension with the organization. This is an interesting development given the trade rumors surrounding Turner. The big man gets a two-year deal worth $60 million. This doesn't mean Turner can't be traded, but the likelihood does decrease. Turner has been playing at a high level this […]

Jonathan Isaac To Remain Restricted

Orlando Magic forward Jonathan Isaac (knee) has been cleared to play in Saturday's game against the Chicago Bulls. However, the 25-year-old will be limited to 8-10 minutes of playing time. He has been on the same restriction for the last two games. It appears the Magic are going to continue being extremely cautious with Isaac. […]

Robert Williams III Won't Play On Saturday

Boston Celtics center Robert Williams III (ankle) won't suit up for Saturday's game against the Los Angeles Lakers. The big man will sit this game out due to a sprained left ankle. His absence should mean Al Horford and Grant Williams will have increased roles. Also, Luke Kornet could play more, but is the worst […]

Marcus Morris Sr. Ruled Out On Saturday

Los Angeles Clippers forward Marcus Morris Sr. (rib) has been ruled out for Saturday's game against the Atlanta Hawks. He is set to miss his second game in a row due to a rib contusion. Luke Kennard returned from a lengthy absence and started during Thursday's game. He could get another start, but Nicolas Batum […]

Alperen Sengun Won't Suit Up On Saturday

Houston Rockets center Alperen Sengun (illness) has been ruled out for Saturday's game against the Detroit Pistons. The young big man will sit this game out due to a non-COVID related illness. Jabari Smith Jr. will slide into the starting five with the Rockets shorthanded here. Bruno Fernando and Usman Garuba should see increased minutes […]

Jauan Jennings Is A Risky Flex Option

San Francisco 49ers wide receiver Jauan Jennings has not been heavily involved over the last few weeks. Last week, Jennings hauled both of his targets for 26 yards in the Divisional Round win over the Dallas Cowboys. The 49ers have so many weapons on offense that often times Jennings gets lost in the shuffle. That […]

Quez Watkins A Risky Choice Versus 49ers

Philadelphia Eagles wide receiver Quez Watkins hasn't seen much involvement over the last few weeks. In fact, Watkins has three receptions on 10 targets for 33 yards over the last four games. The 24-year-old didn't do anything against the New York Giants in last week's playoff matchup. That being said, fantasy managers shouldn't have much […]

Evan McPherson A Strong Option Versus Chiefs

Cincinnati Bengals kicker Evan McPherson looked strong last week against the Buffalo Bills in the AFC Divisional Round. The second-year kicker knocked down both of his field goal attempts. Also, McPherson made all three of his extra point attempts last week against the Bills. He has performed much better in the second half of the […]

Samaje Perine Has Some PPR Value

Cincinnati Bengals running back Samaje Perine saw work as both a receiver and rusher last week. He finished with 33 rushing yards on seven carries, while hauling in five receptions for 31 yards through the air. However, Joe Mixon remains the lead back and should see roughly 20 carries this weekend against the Kansas City […]

Tevin Coleman Elevated From Practice Squad On Saturday

San Francisco 49ers running back Tevin Coleman has been elevated from the practice squad ahead of Sunday's game against the Philadelphia Eagles. This move adds insurance to the backfield in case Elijah Mitchell (groin) is unable to play this weekend. Mitchell missed three days of practice this week. His absence would likely mean that Coleman […]

Desmond Bane Unavailable On Friday

Memphis Grizzlies guard Desmond Bane (knee) has been ruled out for Friday's game against the Minnesota Timberwolves. The 24-year-old will sit this game out due to right knee soreness. John Konchar (concussion) will join him on the sideline, which leaves the Grizzlies shorthanded. Ziaire Williams could move into the starting five with Bane and Konchar […]

Tyrese Haliburton Not Cleared To Play Yet

Indiana Pacers guard Tyrese Haliburton (knee, elbow) is set to miss at least one more game after being evaluated on Thursday. The young guard has missed the last two weeks due to sprains in his elbow and knee. He was re-evaluated recently, but the team hasn't cleared him to play yet. The Pacers will continue […]

Kevin Love Remains Out On Friday

Cleveland Cavaliers forward Kevin Love (back) has been ruled out for Friday's game against the Oklahoma City Thunder. The veteran forward will miss his second game in a row due to back spasms. His absence will free up additional playing time for Dean Wade. On Thursday, Wade had a decent game with 15 points, three […]

Donovan Mitchell Listed As Doubtful For Friday

Cleveland Cavaliers guard Donovan Mitchell (groin) is considered doubtful for Friday's game against the Oklahoma City Thunder. The superstar guard was held out of Thursday's game due to a strained left groin. It seems like the Cavs aren't going to rush Mitchell back to the court, so he'll likely miss this game as well. That […]

Andrew Nembhard Cleared To Play Friday

Indiana Pacers guard Andrew Nembhard (illness) has been cleared to play in Friday's game against the Milwaukee Bucks. He has missed the last two games due to a non-COVID related illness. His return means that T.J. McConnell or Chris Duarte could move to the second unit. McConnell has been excellent lately, so he can continue […]

Myles Turner Available Versus Bucks

Indiana Pacers center Myles Turner (ankle) will be available for Friday's game against the Milwaukee Bucks. This is good news after the big man was listed as questionable coming into this game due to knee soreness. Fellow big man Isaiah Jackson will come off the bench with Turner cleared to play. There won't be as […]

Giannis Antetokounmpo Available On Friday

Milwaukee Bucks forward Giannis Antetokounmpo (knee) is available for Friday's game against the Indiana Pacers. The superstar forward is good to go despite dealing with a minor knee issue. The expectation is that Antetokounmpo will see his normal workload during this game. Behind him, Wesley Matthews and Jordan Nwora could see bigger roles with Bobby […]

Luke Kennard To Return On Thursday

Los Angeles Clippers guard Luke Kennard (calf) will return to the court for Thursday's game against the San Antonio Spurs. He's back after missing nearly three weeks due to right calf soreness. The expectation is that Kennard will be limited during his first game back. Although, Kennard will move into the starting five with Marcus […]

Ben Simmons Exits Early On Thursday

Brooklyn Nets guard Ben Simmons (knee) was forced to exit early during Thursday's game against the Detroit Pistons. He only lasted 20 minutes before leaving the game due to left knee soreness. Simmons was held scoreless with one rebound and seven assists during Thursday's game. The Nets will likely use a committee approach to fill […]
